Chapter 43: Don't overstep your bounds
Liu Ling'er was just about to shout for help when Su Chen's familiar voice suddenly rang out,"It's me, don't scream!"Liu Ling'er immediately calmed down and, after focusing her eyes, saw that it was indeed Su Chen.Before she could speak, Su Chen roughly pressed her against the wall, unceremoniously ordering,"Turn around!"Liu Ling'er didn't dare to resist, so she turned around and pressed herself tightly against the wall.Though the weather was scorching hot and Liu Ling'er wasn't wearing much,for her own safety, Su Chen's large hands still began to explore her body.The most outrageous part was that Su Chen even pulled aside her underwear and carefully searched.When they had been dating before, they had never been so intimate.This made Liu Ling'er, still a virgin, feel both ashamed and angry, but she didn't dare to say anything.After confirming that Liu Ling'er didn't have any weapons on her, Su Chen finally relaxed.He stepped back and casually threw her a backpack.When Liu Ling'er saw that the backpack was filled with steak, Boston lobster, and other luxury foods, her eyes nearly popped out.Such a lavish meal, even before the apocalypse, she rarely ate due to its high price.But to her surprise, Su Chen had taken it out at this moment!How was his RV able to store so many things?All the resentment Liu Ling'er had toward Su Chen vanished in an instant!She gobbled down the food, occasionally glancing at Su Chen.During her time staying in the Nomadison RV, Su Chen spent most of his time either relaxing or exercising his body.After all this training, although his physique wasn't as exaggerated as a bodybuilder's, it was fit and lean, showing off well in clothes.Today, after leaving the RV, the scorching outside temperature made him wear only a pair of shorts.His toned, muscular figure, with eight-pack abs, was nothing short of a male god!Liu Ling'er's heart raced, and her face flushed.How had she never noticed how manly Su Chen was before?After swallowing the last bite of food, Liu Ling'er sighed contentedly.This had to be the best meal she had eaten since the heatwave started!"Ah Chen, why did you come out of the RV today?"Liu Ling'er asked, puzzled.Since the heatwave began, she had never seen Su Chen leave the Nomadison.But today, he suddenly appeared outside, which made her surprised."Actually, I came out today mainly to see you,"Su Chen smiled slightly, picked up an insulated cup, and took a sip of a chilled drink.He had to admit, after being under the sweltering heat, taking that sip made him feel extremely refreshed!"Really?"Liu Ling'er was both shocked and happy. She held back her excitement and said softly,"As long as you want, I can stay with you forever…"Su Chen heard the hidden meaning in her words and chuckled,"I'm going to give you a chance. If you can complete the task I give you, I'll let you come into the RV."Liu Ling'er could hardly believe her ears!Su Chen had shown them what life inside the RV was like.It was a heavenly life compared to the sweltering outside world!But other than Xiao Mei, no one had ever been able to stay inside.If she could get into the RV, she wouldn't have to worry about dying from the heat."Ah Chen, just tell me what to do! As long as I can do it, I'll definitely help you!"Liu Ling'er hurriedly responded.Su Chen beckoned her closer, and Liu Ling'er obediently leaned in, allowing him to whisper in her ear.When she heard Su Chen's words, her eyes widened in disbelief,"What? This…""What? You don't want to do it?"Su Chen gave her a sidelong glance and spoke indifferently.Liu Ling'er understood that the task Su Chen had given her involved great risks.She instinctively wanted to refuse, but then she thought of how much effort she had put in to change Su Chen's attitude toward her.She had earned the chance to live inside the Nomadison.If she refused, she might never get another chance like this!Even if there were risks, she had to do it!With that thought in mind, Liu Ling'er gritted her teeth and said,"Okay, I agree!""That's more like it,"Su Chen reached out and stroked Liu Ling'er's hair, revealing a satisfied smile.…Over the next two days, the situation in the underground parking lot of Green Forest Hotel became increasingly dire.In the extreme lack of supplies, more and more people were dying.Even the ruthless Abiao and his group were starving, their eyes turning green.One evening, as nightfall arrived again, many survivors stood up and numbly headed outside.Though it was unlikely they would find any more supplies,it was better than sitting and waiting to die. They thought that perhaps there was a small chance they could find something.However, before they could leave, the strong smell of meat suddenly wafted through the air.The survivors, who hadn't eaten in days, immediately widened their eyes.Their throats tightened, and they kept swallowing saliva, looking around to locate the source of the meat aroma.After searching for a while, they finally realized the smell was coming from Abiao's group.Subconsciously, they moved toward that direction.Through the gaps between a few cars, they could vaguely see that Abiao and his group seemed to be cooking something.However, fearing Abiao's reputation, they didn't dare approach.Eventually, one survivor, almost unable to bear the hunger, gathered up his courage and asked,"Brother Biao, what are you cooking? It smells so good."Hearing his words, Abiao, holding a small nightlight, staggered toward them with a grin, showing his menacing white teeth."I'm cooking meat, want to try some?""Yes, yes, yes!""You're such a good guy, Brother Biao!"The survivors, delirious with hunger, quickly nodded and agreed.But Liu Ling'er, standing aside, sensed something was wrong.They hadn't found any supplies for days, so where did Abiao get this meat from?A sense of ominous premonition surfaced in her heart.Liu Ling'er didn't follow the others into Abiao's camp.However, the survivors at the front, after just a glance, suddenly turned pale.They staggered back, vomiting as they went.After all, they had gone without food for days, and what they vomited was only sour liquid."Abiao, you… are you still human? You're a beast!"Someone looked at Abiao in horror, fear filling their eyes.This attitude confirmed Liu Ling'er's suspicions.Though she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Liu Ling'er immediately felt her stomach churn, nearly vomiting herself."What? Didn't you guys ask for food?""I gave you food, but you're not eating it. Are you not giving face?"Abiao crossed his arms and gave them a cold smile.In the dim light of the nightlight, he looked like a demon from hell!
