40 -38: Visit

The man stepped out of the bathroom, threw a towel at her face, and then went out, closing the door behind him.

She pulled the towel off, glanced at the knife beside her, and decided to leave it there, giving her a reason to linger here later that night.

Su Mo touched the revolver hidden inside the leg of her right pants and finally climbed out of bed.

A few small loaves of bread and a box of milk were left on the table, and water had been prepared in the bathroom.

Su Mo’s eyes warmed, and the corners of her mouth almost curved up to the sky as she quickly washed up and ate breakfast before stepping out.

There were hardly any people in the dormitory, and the corridor was eerily empty.

The hostel’s receptionist on the ground floor seemed to have changed, now a tall, slim woman with short hair, simple attire, and a curvy figure.

As Su Mo descended, the woman greeted her from her seated position, legs crossed: “Morning.”

“Morning,” Su Mo replied with a cheerful smile, only to realize that the stunningly careless receptionist blushed upon seeing her.

That person looks strange…

Su Mo shrugged it off without a second thought and walked out, unaware of the sparkling fox-like gaze the woman had fixed on her from behind.

Zhao Changsheng took a sharp breath, fixated on the retreating petite figure, emotions fleeting.

The girl had blinked her round, glistening eyes and pursed her red lips while speaking to her, utterly bewitching and damn cute.

Her view was suddenly blocked.

“Hey, how come you’re just getting back?

The boss is looking for you.” Hao Hu walked in and immediately saw the daydreaming receptionist, knocked impatiently on the table as he approached her.

Zhao Changsheng’s infatuated expression turned icy, her beautiful face marred by annoyance.

She stood up abruptly, hands clasping Hao Hu’s neck, and electricity began crackling between her fingers.

Hao Hu was promptly stunned by the shock and fell unconscious; she tossed him to the ground with ease, stepped on him, flipped the bird, dusted off her hands, and walked away.

As soon as Su Mo left the hostel, she saw Lu Chen, Jianxiong, and Li Qian standing shoulder to shoulder.

Why is he here?

“Sorry for the wait,” Su Mo approached them, still smiling cheerfully.

Jianxiong patted his chest, with an understanding look and a hearty smile: “No worries, after all, our dear sister had a tough night last night, your brother understands.”

If it weren’t for the presence of an outsider, she would have punched that annoyingly broad face of his; he was just too obnoxious!

Li Qian touched his nose and spoke with an elegant tone: “Today, I will be guiding you through a tour of the prison.

After three days of rest, you will accompany me to collect supplies.”

So it was a tour after all?

Su Mo looked puzzledly at Lu Chen, just as Li Qian added, “Now that the supermarkets are gone, we have to search for supplies in towns further away, or else these civilians will starve to death.”

Lu Chen had been blocked at the bottom of the building since the early morning.

Receiving her questioning look, he gave her a ‘calm down’ gesture and proceeded with his measured steps.

Li Qian smiled and followed, leading the way for everyone.

“Where’s Zhao Xiwen?” Su Mo asked Jianxiong in a hushed tone as they trailed behind.

Upon mentioning her, Jianxiong’s face darkened.

He moved his thick lips: “She left with your university dame; who knows where.”

“Oh,” Su Mo nodded, this was indeed a nest of snakes and rats; she had thought she had scored a free shower head.

During their conversation, they passed through the recreation area where many people were training.

Several zombies were penned inside the wire fence, and numerous tables with laid-out firearms were placed on the perimeter.

They were using the zombies for target practice.

After only a brief observation, they were led to the cafeteria, which was bustling with activity.

Disheveled and emaciated commoners scurried between the tables gathering plates, quickly stuffing any leftover food into their mouths.

In the open kitchen, several chefs were bustling about, and Su Mo instantly spotted the woman called Su Niang, who appeared to be the healthiest of the bunch.

The arrival of the four people quieted the lively cafeteria instantly; the looks in people’s eyes ranged from fearful to disdainful.

Li Qian beckoned to them, “Please, continue.”

Only then did the burly men resume eating, casting glances over here from time to time.

He smiled again and explained the rules to Su Mo and the others, “This is our cafeteria, ordinary people are given one meal a day, superpower users three meals a day.

In the future, you may dine here.”

Next to the open kitchen was a small window, where a sparse array of coarse wheat steamed buns were laid out.

No wonder those ordinary people were all looking so emaciated, Su Mo nodded in understanding.

Su Niang wiped her hands and greeted the chefs inside before coming out to meet them.

“Li Qian, you have time to come over now?”

A piece of cloth wrapped around her head, from which a few strands of white hair peeped out, she spoke to them with a kind countenance, her smile making the fine lines at the corners of her eyes particularly evident.

Toward this woman, Li Qian’s standard insincere smile slightly eased, “Go ahead with your work, Su Niang, we’ll be leaving shortly.”

“Hey, hey, make sure you come for breakfast later,” said Su Niang, wiping her hands on her apron before turning to leave.

Su Mo’s eyes darted about as she schemed how she would build a rapport with Su Niang.

That mashed potato she made was indeed delicious; she had to find a way to get her to teach her quickly.

How could she fry meat without it turning out right?

The four of them left the cafeteria under everyone’s gaze and then went to see the prison’s farm.

The ground had been freshly turned and seeded, and, surprisingly, there were even two dairy cows in the barn.

If not for the disturbingly thin figures tilling the soil, Su Mo might actually have thought it a peaceful scene.

Behind the entire prison was a big mountain enclosed by electric fencing; at the foot of the mountain lay their last stop, occupying the prison’s largest area – the cellblock.

It was filthy beyond measure, and they only glanced around the perimeter without going inside; the ground was teeming with cockroaches, rats, and ants.

Li Qian watched the scene inside with a benign smile, while Su Mo felt a heavy mood descend upon her.

Filthy shouts reached her ears, and just as she turned to look, a large hand covered her eyes.

“Don’t look.”

Lu Chen frowned, disgust in his eyes.

Those sounds and sights were coming from around the corner of the cellblock wall.

There were also several scantily clad women casting flirtatious glances at them, causing Jianxiong’s massive, rock-like body to shudder repeatedly; the combination of the stench and their unkempt faces was unspeakably revolting.

Su Mo pursed her lips, attempting to remove the hand from her face.

She was in her twenties; it’s not like she hadn’t seen such things before.

“Can we go now?” Lu Chen asked with a cold face, looking displeased at Li Qian while his hand remained firmly over Su Mo’s eyes.

“Of course,” Li Qian bowed his head, bending at the waist in a gesture of invitation, his demeanor refined.

Once out of the cells, Su Mo finally saw the light of day again.

She was about to say something, but meeting Lu Chen’s stern expression, she opted to keep quiet instead.

“Admiral Lu, for the next three days, you can move freely within these areas,” advised Li Qian before leaving with a smile.

“So where do we head to now?”
