After a moment of thought, the soldier named Liu Zi ran in the direction Chen Wan and her group were heading.
A slightly older officer shouted, “Liu Zi, come back!” Ignoring his teammate Zhao Lei’s call, Liu Zi caught up with Chen Wan and her group, saying, “Wait a moment.”
Chen Wan and her group had already walked halfway when they heard the soldier calling them, so they stopped.
Chen Wan turned around and asked, “Is there something else?” Liu Zi lowered his voice, “The safe zone might not be what you expect.
If you don’t go there, finding a place nearby to settle is also safe.
This area has been cleared of zombies.”
Liu Zi’s words weren’t very clear, but Chen Wan and her group immediately understood.
Chen Wan smiled and thanked him, “Thank you for the warning, but we have to go to the base to find our family.
We can’t avoid it, but thank you anyway.”
Liu Zi, being a beta, blushed when thanked by such a beautiful alpha like Chen Wan.
Luckily, his skin was tanned from long hours of standing guard, or he would have wanted to find a hole to hide in.
He replied somewhat flustered, “No need to thank me, it’s what we should do.
Be careful on your way.”
“Okay.” Chen Wan smiled at him, thinking that this soldier, whom they had only met once, had a good heart.
She then turned and continued towards the long line at the base gate.
Liu Zi ran back to the checkpoint, and Zhao Lei teased him, “Liu Zi, you’re just too soft-hearted.
Last time, you also advised two girls who wanted to settle inside the base, and they turned around and called you crazy.”
“She’s different.
She just thanked me.” The soldier glared at Zhao Lei.
“What’s different? I saw she was holding a child, probably already married.
You don’t stand a chance.” Zhao Lei joked with his partner as there were no vehicles passing by.
Meanwhile, many people in the long line had noticed Chen Wan and her group.
After all, they were four beautiful women, each with a different charm, and one of them was holding a child, sparking discussions among those in line.
A sleazy man even whistled at Chen Wan and her group, drawing laughter.
The women and Omegas in the line were relatively quiet, while the male betas and alphas, feeling safe at the base, began to act more recklessly.
Chen Wan didn’t spare them a glance and led her group to the end of the line.
The tattooed man, feeling embarrassed that Chen Wan ignored him, signaled to his lackeys.
Leaving one to hold their place in line, the tattooed man and four burly lackeys surrounded Chen Wan and her group.
People in line turned to watch the commotion.
A bespectacled man in front of Chen Wan even looked at her with a hint of regret.
Chen Wan, holding Yang Yang, remained still, her face expressionless.
The tattooed man and his lackeys approached, eyeing Chen Wan and her group lecherously.
“Oh, there’s an alpha among you? No worries, my brothers and I are all betas.
We won’t clash.
Even in the safe zone, there are dangers.
Beautiful women like you need protectors.
Let’s go together, and we can protect you.
Besides, you’re holding a baby.
Can you protect the baby?”
Yang Yang shivered in Chen Wan’s arms, frightened by the man’s words.
Chen Wan gently comforted Yang Yang, “Don’t be afraid, Yang Yang.
Mommy’s here.”
“Little one, your name is Yang Yang, right? From now on, I’m your daddy, protecting you with your mommy.” The tattooed man ogled Chen Wan and then looked at Yi Yi and the others, smacking his lips in admiration.
“Your friends are all so pretty.
I’ll take them all.
Don’t be jealous.”
Chen Wan chuckled softly, momentarily stunning the tattooed man.
She handed Yang Yang to Jiang Yanxin.
Just as Chen Wan was about to act, Qin Ke moved first, leaping onto the nearest thug and punching him square in the face.
The thug’s nose broke, blood flowing, and his nose collapsed to one side.
Qin Ke didn’t stop there.
While the thug was in pain, she wrapped her arms around his neck and twisted it sharply.
The thug struggled desperately, but he was no match for Qin Ke, especially after her strength had increased from consuming crystal cores and mutant beef.
With a “crack,” the thug’s head lolled to the side, and his limbs went limp.
Qin Ke tossed the thug aside and coldly eyed the remaining men.
Everything happened so quickly that the tattooed man and the others hadn’t even had time to help before the thug was dead.
The combat techniques taught in special forces aren’t flashy like those seen by ordinary people.
They’re about teaching soldiers how to subdue the enemy in the shortest time using the most effective and efficient methods, without concern for aesthetics.
“Fuck, what are you all standing around for? If we don’t chop these women to pieces today…” But before the tattooed man could finish, he felt a sharp pain in his mouth and face, and he was sent flying backward, landing several steps away, spitting out half a mouthful of broken teeth.
Meanwhile, Qin Ke was already grappling with another tall man in a shirt.
The other two men, seeing the tattooed man sent flying by Chen Wan’s punch, rushed forward to teach Chen Wan a lesson.
This time, they were smarter.
Amidst the chaos earlier, they hadn’t drawn their machetes from their backpacks, but now they did, charging at Chen Wan.
On the other side, Yi Yi stood protectively in front of Jiang Yanxin and Yang Yang, feeling that these thugs weren’t worth her effort.
The man on Chen Wan’s left swung his machete at her.
Chen Wan sidestepped, grabbed his knife-wielding hand with her right hand, and his arm with her left, pulling hard.
The man’s left arm hung limply, and he screamed in pain, “Ah, my arm.”
The other man in a green T-shirt, seeing his partner subdued, swung his machete at Chen Wan’s side.
Chen Wan grabbed the first man’s neck with her left hand and his knife-wielding wrist with her right, preventing him from breaking free.
In the next moment, Chen Wan used the first man’s body to block the T-shirt man’s machete.
The T-shirt man was so shocked by the scene that he froze, unable to move.
Chen Wan then used the first man’s hand to stab the T-shirt man.
In his panic, the T-shirt man couldn’t dodge, and Chen Wan let go, leaving the two men impaled on each other.
Blood splattered on Chen Wan, and she knew their clothes wouldn’t be clean once they got off the RV.
Meanwhile, Qin Ke, though shorter than her opponent, was agile.
After angering him with a few punches, she found an opening, wrapped her body around him from behind, and locked her legs around his thighs, immobilizing him.
Her arms tightened around his neck, and despite his desperate attempts to pry her arms away, he eventually lost the strength to struggle.
The tattooed man was already terrified by Chen Wan and Qin Ke’s actions.
Who would have thought that two beautiful women could be so ruthless? In just a few minutes, all his men were gone.
Seeing Chen Wan approaching, the tattooed man was so scared that he cried, unable to speak clearly due to his missing teeth, “Spare me, spare me, sister, have mercy.
I’m a bastard.
If I had known you were this capable, I wouldn’t have dared to approach.
Sister, I’ll kowtow to you.
Please, let me go.”
“Let you go? You’ve done this kind of thing before, haven’t you? Probably harmed a lot of people, right?” Chen Wan asked the tattooed man with a smile.
The tattooed man was left with only fear, trembling as he backed away, “I haven’t, sister, have mercy.
I haven’t, I haven’t.”
“Didn’t you just dare to scare my daughter? Why are you so cowardly now?” Chen Wan continued to ask.
“I’ll apologize, I’ll kneel and apologize to your daughter, spare me,” the man said, but he reached behind him and grabbed something, then suddenly lunged at Chen Wan, who was two steps away, with the knife aimed straight at her chest and abdomen.
Chen Wan simply turned slightly and firmly grabbed the man’s hand holding the knife.
The man tried to break free but found that Chen Wan’s strength was astonishing.
He hurriedly shouted to the men in line, “Come help me, this woman won’t let us go, she won’t let us go.”
The man in a white short-sleeve shirt standing in line was so scared his legs were weak, hoping they wouldn’t call him, thinking he might get away with it.
But the woman had already looked at him.
The man in the white short-sleeve shirt shakily held a machete, ready to strike Chen Wan, but Qin Ke rushed out and kicked the machete away.
Seeing the machete gone, the man in the short-sleeve shirt turned and ran, trying to seek help from the soldiers at the gate.
Qin Ke picked up the machete and, after the man had run three or four steps, threw it with all her might at the man’s back.
The man only felt a warmth in his chest, followed by waves of pain, and fell directly to the ground.
On the other side, Chen Wan used the knife held by the tattooed man to directly slash his throat.
Chen Wan wiped the blood off her hands and didn’t forget to take the bags from the tattooed man and his group, intending to see if there was anything useful.
Each of the six men had a backpack.
Chen Wan and Qin Ke calmly took the backpacks back, and the commotion at the base gate had long since disappeared.
Everyone in line was as quiet as a mouse, even the bespectacled man who had pitied Chen Wan earlier was now trembling with fear.
