These dozen-odd people were either company artists or management.
Only...
Han Xiao was a student at the Communications University.
She had a sweet appearance.
And an excellent singing voice.
Before the nuclear explosion, she was brought in for an audition by a scout.
It was precisely because she was brought into the recording studio to try out songs that these people managed to survive.
"I... I don't..." Han Xiao was terrified and shook her head desperately.
These people were either high-ranking executives of Huanyu Media or famous artists; she was the outsider.
In the past half-month, everyone else had received far more food than her.
She hadn't eaten for more than two days.
She hadn't drunk water for nearly two days.
Walking was a problem.
How could she go out to find food?
She had neither the courage to face zombies nor the stamina to outrun them.
Suddenly!
The woman holding Zheng Qian's arm dragged her up: "Come on! Let's all vote. Raise your hands if you agree to let her go out!"
*Swish.*
Everyone, except Han Xiao, raised their hands.
As long as it wasn't them having to find food, they would naturally agree unanimously.
"See? Everyone agrees to let you go," Ma Su said with a smile.
"I don't..."
*Slap!*
Before Han Xiao could finish speaking, she was slapped across the face.
Not a grain of rice.
Not a drop of water.
Her body was already at its weakest.
She was slapped to the ground on the spot.
"Do you think I'm asking your opinion?"
Ma Su’s face was fierce as she yelled, "You're going whether you want to or not—push her out!"
"Wait a moment!"
At this, a male artist stepped forward: "What if she finds food and doesn't come back?"
Right!
Everyone was stunned.
If she found food and ran off alone, wouldn't they still have nothing to eat?
"That's simple."
Zheng Qian said with a lewd grin: "Strip her! She can only get her clothes back if she brings back food and water, otherwise... she'll have to run around naked!"
"President Zheng, brilliant idea!" the male artist laughed.
"As expected of President Zheng, only you could think of such a wonderful method," Ma Su said coquettishly, fawning over him.
"No... no!"
Han Xiao clutched her collar tightly.
Seeing her pure, untouched face, two male artists immediately volunteered to strip her.
Without food, her stamina would definitely be poor.
She wouldn't have the strength to do anything bad.
However...
A little fun wouldn't hurt!
"Don't come near me... woo woo..." Han Xiao sobbed uncontrollably.
Unfortunately, she had neither the strength to resist nor the energy to escape.
*Rip!*
Her outer clothing was torn.
"Beasts! I won't let you go, even as a ghost..." Han Xiao cried heart-wrenchingly.
Alas, her cries garnered no sympathy.
When faced with starvation and dehydration, the ugliness of human nature was no longer concealed.
Better a dead friend than a living self.
That was what the others were thinking.
"Xiaoxiao?"
Suddenly!
Just as a hand reached for her inner clothing, a voice faintly called out, "Xiaoxiao, where are you?!"
The voice grew more urgent.
"Sister..."
Han Xiao was startled.
The next moment, tears poured out uncontrollably.
After not drinking water for nearly two days, her once melodious voice became hoarse and weak: "Sis... I'm here! Save me..."
A physique several times that of a normal person.
It was not only reflected in strength and speed, but also in senses like smell and hearing.
Qin Feng was the first to hear the cry for help.
*Bang!*
The solid door of the recording studio was kicked open.
He darted in.
Instantly!
His pupils constricted.
More than a dozen men and women, most of them standing by, while two men were holding the girl, stripping her clothes with lewd smiles.
That girl...
Was the girl he had seen in the photo.
Han Ling's younger sister – Han Xiao!
"Xiaoxiao..."
Han Ling ran in afterward, and upon seeing the scene, she almost fainted.
Her sister was being harassed by two men!
Just a moment more...
If she had been a little later, she would have...
"Sis... Sister!"
Taking advantage of the commotion of the door being kicked open, which stunned the two male artists, Han Xiao seized the opportunity to escape their grasp and crawled towards her sister.
The little remaining strength was exhausted in the struggle.
Coupled with the fear that made her legs weak, she couldn't stand up.
She could only crawl!
"Xiaoxiao!"
Han Ling rushed over quickly, embraced her sister, and burst into tears.
"Who are you?!"
Sensing their dominant position threatened, and relying on their superior numbers, Zheng Qian yelled, "Who let you in? Get out!"
"How do you plan to handle this?" Qin Feng ignored him and looked at Han Ling.
"I'm talking to you, are you deaf?!" Zheng Qian pointed at them and shouted.
"Captain, I need water and food," Han Ling gritted her teeth.
"Alright."
Qin Feng glanced at Zhou Haiyang.
Zhou Haiyang immediately took out a nut bar and a bottle of mineral water and handed them to Han Ling.
"Xiaoxiao, quickly..."
Han Ling unwrapped the nut bar and unscrewed the cap of the mineral water.
"Ruoruo, take care of Han Xiao," Qin Feng instructed.
"Yes!"
Xiao Ruoruo immediately helped Han Xiao to retreat.
Seeing the food and water, Han Xiao forgot about everything else.
She ate ravenously.
She drank greedily.
Hunger had almost destroyed her will!
"So, how do you plan to handle this?" Qin Feng stared at Han Ling.
If she couldn't bring herself to kill when her own sister was being violated, she would have difficulty surviving in the apocalypse.
He would be very disappointed.
"It was you... who bullied my sister?!" Han Ling gritted her teeth, staring at the two male artists.
"They have food and water!" Zheng Qian's eyes gleamed.
"Leave the food and water, or else..." the two male artists pressed forward.
"Knife."
Han Ling gritted her teeth.
Qin Feng drew his dagger and handed it to her.
As the two male artists approached her, a strange gleam flashed in her eyes.
Suddenly!
She stabbed the dagger towards one of them.
"Why?!"
*Thump!*
The dagger instantly pierced his chest.
She pulled it out forcefully and stabbed the second person, screaming maniacally, "Why did you bully Xiaoxiao? Why did you bully my sister?!"
"You scum! Die! All of you die!"
*Thump!*
*Thump!*
*Thump!*
She stabbed him once.
Pulled it out, and stabbed again.
She seemed to have gone mad, stabbing him seven or eight times consecutively.
Strangely, the two male artists stood motionless, letting her stab them.
Even more bizarrely.
With each stab, not a single drop of blood flowed out!
Suddenly!
After about three seconds, Han Ling, who had stabbed them seven or eight times, seemed to become extremely weary and collapsed onto the ground, panting.
*Thud...*
Two corpses fell simultaneously.
At the same time, blood gushed from the wounds.
"This..."
Zhou Haiyang looked bewildered: "Boss! What kind of ability is this?!"
The two men just stood there and let her stab them.
And no blood flowed out afterward.
It only started flowing now.
"A very basic form of time manipulation – time stop," Qin Feng explained.
Xiao Ruoruo: ...
Zhou Haiyang: ...
They were also awakened, and after days of fighting, they felt no fear in killing.
But!
Qin Feng's words utterly shocked them.
The captain had repeatedly emphasized that team members only needed to obey orders and were not allowed to question his commands.
When Qin Feng agreed to help Han Ling find her sister, they didn't dare to object.
But when he asked Han Ling to join the team...
They didn't dare to say it, but they were full of doubt in their hearts.
Was it because of her beauty?
Otherwise, what right did she have to join?
At this moment!
They finally understood why Qin Feng wanted to bring Han Ling into the team.
