Rotting Land: Survive

Chapter 655 - 644: Journey Through Hell (Part 1)

The empty streets, filled with zombies everywhere, kept Li Huiru on edge.

Images of the horrifying scenes from last night constantly surface in her mind, and she worries that they might become a reality today.

Additionally, the Mediterranean man beside her persistently lets his leering gaze roam over her body, which discomforts Li Huiru greatly. Multiple times she considered speaking up to stop this shameless behavior, but ultimately kept quiet.

The reason being: first, she had no evidence;

second, she has to rely on these detestable individuals for protection during this outing, so for her own safety, Li Huiru decides to tolerate some of their misconduct for now, planning to report these bastards’ behavior to Liu Yunpeng back at the Factory, to vent her anger properly.

The car accelerates shortly after leaving the Factory, and seeing the warehouse background gradually blur, Li Huiru can’t help but ask, "Hey, where are we going to gather supplies today?"

"Hehe, Miss Li, no need to worry, you’ll know once we get there." The Mediterranean man’s expression is nauseating, and Li Huiru struggles to suppress her anger.

Normally at the Factory, these guys wouldn’t dare speak to her with such attitude. Do they really think she’s just a subordinate? We’ll see—when we’re back in the Factory, I’ll show them the consequences of crossing me.

A glint of coldness flashes in Li Huiru’s eyes. She indeed fears Liu Fugui at the Factory, but only him.

The reason she holds such a high position is thanks to Liu Yunpeng; everyone in the Factory knows she’s Liu Family’s Missus, and thus they treat her with great caution.

But yesterday’s sudden incident changed everything, otherwise how could this Mediterranean get away with speaking to her like this unless he was utterly impatient with his life?

The car drove further away, and Li Huiru roughly estimated half an hour had passed, yet the car showed no sign of stopping, leaving her puzzled.

Clearly Huang Yong said the main task today was to gather supplies; although it’s her first time on an assignment, and she lacks experience, it doesn’t mean she’s blind, for she passed many suitable shops for supplies along the way.

Yet the two in the car seemed utterly uninterested in this, while Li Huiru herself was fully in the mission state.

While Li Huiru was lost in thought, a rough hand quietly reached towards her. In her trance, she initially didn’t sense anything off, but once she snapped back to reality, she quickly realized something was wrong.

She looked down to find a coarse hand stroking her leather pants repeatedly.

Seeing this, Li Huiru was both shocked and angry; she never expected the Mediterranean to be so bold as to openly harass her.

Immediately, Li Huiru forcefully slapped away the Mediterranean man’s disgusting coarse hand, fiercely turned to glare at him, and sternly rebuked, "What do you think you’re doing?"

The Mediterranean didn’t retreat as Li Huiru anticipated; instead, he looked back at her with a lustful gaze and said frivolously, "Nothing really, just checking if Miss Li’s pants have any holes. You know it’s dangerous outside, any slight mistake could cost lives."

Having said that, he once again tried to reach for her thigh to continue his inspection.

Li Huiru blocked his hand: "Do you know the consequences of your actions? If you want to continue living in the Factory, I advise you to stop your current actions immediately; otherwise, I’ll report everything to Yunpeng when we return."

Li Huiru believed that invoking Liu Yunpeng’s formidable presence would surely deter him,

But unfortunately, her thoughts were too naive. The Mediterranean shook his head and theatrically responded, "Oh dear, Miss Li, I’m so scared of your threats. Report me? Surely you can’t forget Brother Yong’s instructions, telling you to stay obediently in the car, follow our orders, and do as you’re told. Got it?"

"You!" Li Huiru was left speechless by the man’s blatant gangster posturing.

She was furious, clearly seeing he didn’t respect her now, but more than that, she felt scared—she realized under the current situation, she couldn’t use anything besides Liu Yunpeng’s name to deter them.

Conversely, if she kept aggravating him verbally, and he decided to force his actions, she alone, a woman, couldn’t possibly resist.

Hence, she needed to placate him and wait till they returned to the Factory to settle things.

Thinking this, Li Huiru adjusted her mindset, met the Mediterranean’s lustful dead fish eyes, and forced herself to maintain calm as she said, "I certainly understand and will follow Brother Huang’s words and comply with your arrangements. As for my clothes, please don’t bother checking them; it’s impossible I’d wear clothes with holes."

Seeing Li Huiru repeatedly using "Brother" in her speech, the Mediterranean felt pleased, moving impatiently closer to her, reaching for her chest, while insisting, "That won’t do; since Brother Yong entrusted you to us, we’ll ensure your safety properly. Let brother check if there’re any holes in your clothes!"

"Slap!" The crisp sound of a slap caused time to momentarily freeze.

Li Huiru’s right hand hung in the air for a few seconds before quickly withdrawing to guard her chest, then screamed in terror, "Where are you touching? I told you my clothes are intact. Stop touching me, or I’ll truly inform Brother Huang, Mr. Liu, and Yunpeng about your gangster behavior."

Li Huiru helplessly brought out every name she could think of, her mind in chaos, as the man’s wanton actions went beyond her imagination. At that moment, she just hoped her angry shouts would scare him back to his senses.

"Hehe, Skinny Monkey, you’re really getting rejected like that, huh? Can you handle it? If not, then I’ll go first!" The thin tall guy, who hadn’t spoken until now, finally chimed in.

"Get lost, I’m the leader of this mission." Furious after being slapped, the Mediterranean barked at the tall skinny guy, then grabbed Li Huiru’s hair, pulling her towards his face, and retaliated back with two slaps, saying:

"Are you totally clueless or just pretending? You think Mr. Liu sent us out for you to experience the external atmosphere? Stop dreaming—I’ll be straightforward with you, Mr. Liu’s orders are to make you disappear!" (To be continued.
