Chapter 123: Restrictions

Hearing this, Ni Mengxue knelt in front of him. "If you ever meet your mother, you should run away from her."

Fu Jing frowned. "Why should I?"

Ni Mengxue made a frightening face. She growled like a beast, raised her hands, and curled her fingers into claws.

"Because your mother has become a monster."

Fu Jing shivered.

"Sister Ni, you could have just said that my mother abandoned us. There was no need to make me look like a fool by saying something so childish."

Ni Mengxue’s lips twitched. Then she heard a faint chuckle.

She turned around and saw Fu Sinan standing nearby with an innocent expression.

She was almost certain that he had been the one laughing at her.

’Just wait. I’ll definitely spank your butt someday.’

Her eyes subconsciously drifted downward.

Fu Sinan immediately frowned and covered his butt with both hands.

He glared at her as if saying, ’If you dare spank me, just wait and see how I’ll deal with you.’

Ni Mengxue rolled her eyes.

"How boring; only my husband is interesting..." she muttered.

..........

The journey ahead wasn’t simple. Along the way they encounter many zombies and few mutated plants.

Li Han stopped to collect the samples, and this time even Ni Mengxue copied his action.

She was planning to learn more about this world.

At the same time, though, the restriction imposed on everyone increased too. No one was allowed to leave the main party.

To make sure they could identify each other if separated, Ni Mengxue taught everyone a simple set of hand signals.

For example, they would raise their index and little fingers while folding their middle and ring fingers beneath their thumb. If they encountered someone capable of using illusions, they would use this signal to confirm their identity.

They also had another method.

If anyone encountered a serious problem that they didn’t want the rest of the team to walk in, they would make a specific bird-like sound as a warning.

On the third day, however, their RV had to stop.

A group of people was fighting a horde of zombies directly in the middle of the road, completely blocking their path.

Fu Lin, who was driving, lowered the partition and looked toward Ni Mengxue.

She was sitting in the living room, teaching everyone the signals.

"Miss Ni."

Ni Mengxue looked over.

Fu Lin silently pointed toward the window.

Ni Mengxue frowned and narrowed her eyes as she looked outside. "Pull over. Don’t help them. Let’s wait and see how things turn out."

Fu Lin nodded. In the apocalypse, stopping to help a group of strangers surrounded by zombies was usually a foolish decision.

After pulling the RV to the side, they simply watched. There were ten people in the group... two women and eight men.

Ni Mengxue quickly noticed something strange about them.

Several of the men had different but striking hair colors. A few had red hair, some had green hair, while others had blonde or black hair.

More importantly, their facial features were remarkably similar. ’They’re brothers.’

If that was the case, then the two women were probably sisters. And perhaps each of them had married several of the brothers.

’Interesting.’

Ni Mengxue leaned against the window and began observing the battlefield.

Meanwhile, Melanie glared at Ye Renrong with undisguised hatred. ’That stupid woman. Why did she have to provoke the zombies?’

Ye Renrong, on the other hand, looked completely innocent.

She wore a beautiful green dress, and her emerald eyes were filled with sadness as she looked at Melanie’s husbands, as though she had been unfairly accused.

Yet she didn’t dare say anything.

Melanie’s husbands continued fighting without paying attention to the two women.

Melanie herself was a beautiful blonde woman with blue eyes. She wore a white combat suit and fought alongside her husbands, constantly hacking and blasting away at the approaching zombies.

The battle was exhausting. Melanie was already nearing her limit when she suddenly noticed the RV. Her eyes immediately brightened.

’They’ll help us!’

But when she saw the RV pull over instead of coming to their aid, her heart sank. She had clearly hoped for too much.

Suddenly, Ye Renrong spoke softly. "You should leave me here."

Her voice trembled.

"You shouldn’t worry about me. Whoever is inside that RV might help all of you if you leave me behind. Just let me die here."

She lowered her head.

"Even though Sister Melanie was the one who forced me to leave in the first place, I still shouldn’t have done what I did. It was my mistake that caused these zombies to come after us."

The eight men fighting around them didn’t dare stop to comfort her. One moment of distraction could cost them their lives.

When Melanie heard those words, she nearly exploded with anger. "What the fuck are you talking about?"

She swung her weapon at another zombie.

"It was you who kept acting like a green tea bitch and seducing my husbands! Now you’re blaming me for your own mistake?"

Her voice grew louder. "You were the one who stepped on that zombie’s leg and made it scream. That’s what attracted all the other zombies here!"

Ye Renrong immediately lowered her gaze. Tears began falling from her eyes.

"Sister Melanie, I’m truly sorry. Please don’t scold me."

A man with green hair immediately shouted, "Melanie, control your temper! Even if you act spoiled with us, at least show Miss Ye some leeway!"

Melanie almost lost her mind. "What? Did she give you a good blowjob, so now you’re ready to defend her?"

Ford’s expression instantly changed.

Melanie noticed it and her teeth clenched.

’He really did.’

"Just you wait. After we survive this, I’m divorcing you."

She glared at the others. "I’m divorcing all of you!"

The eight men fell silent. Their movements slowed slightly as their attention was pulled toward the argument.

Ye Renrong’s fingers twitched.

She nervously fiddled with the hem of her green dress before looking at Melanie.

"Sister Melanie, you’re truly too much. If I had husbands like yours, I would never divorce them. But you really do know how to act spoiled."

Melanie nearly had a mental breakdown. ’We’re surrounded by zombies, and she’s still doing this!’
