Chapter 69: The Grateful Women
Chapter 69: The Grateful Women
The young wives were relatively indifferent; after all, they were experienced and just wanted to survive, not caring which man they followed. The main concern was for Lin Lanlan and the other two young ladies of stature. Apart from Lin Lanlan, who was Lin Chengxun's pampered and only daughter, the other two girls also came from wealthy families and held prestigious statuses.
They were raised with strict education and held their chastity more precious than life itself!
Lin Lanlan too had always valued her chastity more than her life. Given her previous character, she certainly would not have agreed to such terms.
"Lin Lanlan..." Lin Chengxun's lovers were about to say something when Lin Lanlan, to their surprise, stated, "I am willing to abide by your rules, sir. As long as you don't mind that I've been violated, I am willing to be your woman for life."
Her tone was resolute, even somewhat desperate.
Alex smirked internally, then spoke righteously, "Young lady, rest assured, I don't care about your past. As long as you are loyal to me from now on, I will treat you well and never let another man bully you. You must understand, a man who truly loves you cares about your heart, not your body. Being violated doesn't matter! As long as your soul is pure, you are still pure."
Moved by his own words, Alex even shed tears of emotion. Everyone present was touched, looking at Alex with admiration and respect.
Lin Lanlan, seeing the purity in Alex's eyes, remembered the disdainful look Song Junshuang had given her. Comparing the two, she was so moved that she burst into tears.
"Thank you! Sir, thank you for taking us in! Thank you for helping us!" Lin Lanlan, overwhelmed with gratitude, stepped forward and hugged Alex, crying sincerely and emotionally.
Alex put on a comforting expression, but inside he was sinisterly thinking, "If Lin Lanlan knew that the man she is gratefully offering herself to is actually the killer of her husband and father, and the one who raped her, I wonder what she would do."
"Sir, you are truly a good person! We... we have nothing to repay you with... we can only... offer ourselves in return!" The other young wives also said, blushing and bowing.
Everyone expressed their stance, and the last two wealthy young ladies also lowered their proud heads and addressed Alex as their master. The atmosphere in the living room was steeped in a touching scene, full of romantic sentiment and gratitude.
After a moment, Alex asked the women, "I heard there are doctors here? And experts in modifying vehicles? Do you know where they are? Are they still alive?"
The thirty-something woman dressed as a lawyer quickly replied, "I know them. They are not only doctors but also professors at a medical college! They have never been involved in the conflicts between our three districts, focusing solely on their villa where they research a cure for the zombie virus."
"Both our southern district and the other two districts often provide them with food and capture zombies for their experiments."
"They should be in villa number 125 at the southernmost end of our southern district."
As soon as the lawyer-dressed woman finished speaking, another girl with a more alternative style eagerly interjected:
"I know those vehicle modification experts! I've hung out with them! They're not only great at modifying cars but also skilled in repairing solar power systems and water purification equipment."Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"The solar power system here broke down once before, but it was those guys who fixed it! They are neutrals, helping anyone from any district with car modifications in exchange for food and materials."
"I heard they are all professors and top students in mechanical engineering, who enjoy playing with cars and inventing things. The group consists of three men and two women, led by a professor of mechanical engineering, who often creates some unique and bizarre inventions."
"They should currently be in building 026 of the eastern district."
As Alex listened to the two people's descriptions, he immediately saw the potential. These were talented individuals! Take, for instance, those five experts in mechanical engineering. With them, he could potentially move the high-end water purification equipment from this villa area to the City of Darkness.
Having this equipment would mean that everyone in the City of Darkness wouldn't have to worry about finding clean water sources anymore.
More importantly, with this water purification system, Alex and his women could enjoy hot showers every day! He fondly recalled the feeling of taking a hot shower at the home of that celebrity couple.
As for those professors from the medical college, they were also a must-have. They wouldn't need to continue researching a cure for the zombie virus anymore. If the zombies were gone, how would he bury bodies? How would he deceive and dominate in this apocalyptic world? In Alex's view, doctors should do what doctors are meant to do: taking good care of everyone's health in the City of Darkness.
Moreover, the mutated person must also be taken. This new species of mutants required thorough research by Alex. Ideally, he would control the mutants and train them to be his loyal subordinates.
Alex loaded the dozen or so women from the villa into the Strangler armored vehicle and then made a trip to the villa of the female celebrity, Jing Mi. Jing Mi was tied spread-eagle on the bed, blindfolded with a black eye mask.
She still believed that what happened last night was a passionate act by her handsome celebrity husband, unaware that it was actually Alex who did it in front of her husband. Her husband had already been infuriated to death by her and then turned into a zombie by Alex. When Alex let Jing Mi down, she asked in a dazed manner, "Where's my husband? Where is he?" Alex, with a straight face, fabricated a story: "Your husband bravely sacrificed himself today in the battle against Dong Haobiao and others. The walls of Lily New Town have been breached, and the whole area is swarming with zombies. It's no longer safe here, and your villa will soon be overrun by zombies."
Initially disbelieving, Jing Mi was terrified into a pale, weeping mess after Alex took her to the balcony to see for herself. Alex, with a sly smile on his face, hugged Jing Mi from behind and spoke with false benevolence, "Miss Jing, I used to be your fan. In such an apocalypse, you would surely die if you stayed here alone."
"If you agree to be my woman, I can take you to my refuge," Alex said as his hands began to wander. "The other survivors from the southern district are already on my vehicle."
Jing Mi turned around and nestled into Alex's arms, sobbing softly, "Thank you! Thank you so much! You are truly a great person! Thank you for coming to save me! I... I am willing to
follow you..."
Jing Mi was completely at a loss now, with zombies swarming outside and her man dead. She felt utterly alone and only this strong man in front of her could provide her with a sense of security. Not just agreeing to be Alex's woman, she would have knelt down without hesitation to be his loyal follower if he asked.
"Rest assured, once you come back with me, as long as you serve me well, I will definitely
protect you." Alex held Jing Mi, a slight curve forming at the corner of his mouth. This feeling of possession and conquest was even more thrilling than winning over a virgin. After all, this was a top beauty and celebrity from before the apocalypse!
Jing Mi, overflowing with gratitude, clung to Alex, her tears flowing freely. If Jing Mi's deceased husband knew about this, he might just come back to life from sheer indignation.
