All that was needed was a little push.
"You really want to sell me?" Ly Lan's face was pale as she questioned.
The boyfriend lowered his head, "Forget it. You want food too, don't you? It's just a matter of closing your eyes."
Ly Lan said, "I do, but I'm not willing to do it this way. Let's jump down from here together, let's drown together. I'm absolutely not afraid. Are you willing to be with me?"
The boyfriend shook his head, "I don't want to die, I want to live. Lan, I'm begging you, you'll agree, right? It's not your first time anyway, who cares who it's with? As long as you agree, we can have a lot of food and continue to live."
"Bullshit, impossible," Ly Lan resisted.
Gao Shang, who was eating, continued, "The time you have might not be much. Can't even handle a girl, huh?"
Hearing these words, the boyfriend seemed to have made up his mind. He fiercely walked up to Ly Lan, and with a slap, directly knocked his once beloved girlfriend to the ground.
"You fucking have to agree even if you don't want to! What are you pretending for in front of me? When you were with me, what haven't you done? I just want to live now! Didn't you fucking say you were willing to do anything for me? Now I'm asking you to exchange yourself for food, and you won't agree?"
Ly Lan, her face swaying, looked at her boyfriend, whose expression was ferocious and terrifying, even making her feel like he was a stranger. She really hadn't expected that a few short words from someone else would make him become like this.
The boyfriend looked at Gao Shang and said, "She's right here, I'm handing her over to you. I don't care about anything else. I don't want her anymore. Just tie her up. When you guys want to use her, just go ahead and use her. I just want to live. Nothing is more important than being alive."
Gao Shang and the university student exchanged a glance.
"Hehe."
"Swish."
The two stood up and walked towards Ly Lan, extending their demonic claws.
And the boyfriend didn't even look, like a mad dog, he pounced on the crate of food, opened a bag, and devoured it ravenously. He truly didn't care about the humiliation his girlfriend was about to suffer.
For him, it had nothing to do with him.
"You guys, don't come over."
Ly Lan retreated, looking fearfully at the two who seemed possessed by beasts. At this moment, she was truly desperate. Her boyfriend, whom she had always seen as a mountain, was eating food like a dog, wolfing it down.
"Hehe."
The two sneered obscenely, their eyes revealing a playful glint. Under the oppressive atmosphere, their thoughts had long since changed, or rather, the dark side had long since erupted.
Touching the yacht's railing, Ly Lan looked down, as if she had made some decision. She actually wanted to climb over the railing and jump off the yacht. But just as she was about to climb over, she was caught and brought down by the university student who hugged her from the side.
"Ah..."
Ly Lan screamed, her hands flailing, her legs kicking wildly.
Gao Shang on the side even grabbed her legs, coordinating with the university student to carry Ly Lan inside.
"Help!"
Ly Lan was a woman, and her body was very weak. How could she resist? She could only shout for help desperately.
The boyfriend, eating, watched the situation unfold. But for him, such a situation had long since left his heart unmoved, without even a ripple.
All he could think about was... I can't just starve to death, I have to live, I must live.
As for his girlfriend's humiliation?
He no longer cared. To be able to eat his fill at this moment, let alone his girlfriend, even if it were his wife, he would be willing to agree.
However, at this very moment.
A roar, like the sound of thunder exploding, came through.
"Stop."
Faced with the sudden voice, the two who were perpetrating violence against Ly Lan were clearly stunned, looking for the source of the sound.
The boyfriend was the same, so scared he almost choked. But after recovering, he continued to eat while looking towards the shore. The voice seemed to have come from the shore.
On the shore.
Lam Pham, carrying Frostmourne, came to the docks. He was just checking to see if there were any survivors, as many survivors would hide on boats.
The Lucky Star was such a case.
The survival rate on a boat was much higher than in the city.
His sharp ears immediately heard someone calling for help.
Listening to the voice, it was a female voice.
Although he couldn't see the image, based on his experience, if it was a zombie encounter, a girl would be bitten to death by a zombie after at most one scream. But the girl's voice was continuous, clearly indicating that the female survivor might be experiencing illegal intrusion and harm.
He quickened his pace and immediately saw the situation on the yacht.
Two male survivors seemed to be forcing a female survivor to do something.
Regarding this, he shouted to stop them.
His reprimand was effective.
They all stopped their actions and looked towards the shore.
Boarding the yacht.
"What are you doing?"
Lam Pham looked at the three men in front of him.
Ly Lan hid behind Lam Pham, pointing at them, "They want to rape me..."
Lam Pham wasn't surprised by this situation. Since the outbreak of the apocalypse and the collapse of order, all morals and ethics had long since crumbled.
No one would care about these things, and similarly, no one would think, I shouldn't do such a thing.
Instead, they gradually felt that this was just how things were now.
Everyone was doing it, so it was normal for me to go with the flow.
"It's okay, you're very safe with me here," Lam Pham said gently, hoping to calm her down. Those who were frightened needed comfort and self-adjustment.
In this regard, he did quite well.
Ly Lan looked at the mysterious swordsman who had appeared before her.
Although she didn't know his name, for some unknown reason, she found that this man's back seemed to radiate a kind of light that calmed people's hearts.
They looked at Lam Pham.
Lam Pham also looked at them. From their eyes, he saw darkness, the darkness deep within their souls, like a vortex, spinning within them, devouring any remaining conscience. In fact, the so-called conscience had already been completely devoured.
"Do you know them?" Lam Pham asked.
"I do."
Ly Lan explained their relationship clearly and also recounted what had just happened.
Hearing her words.
Lam Pham's brow furrowed slightly; the more he heard, the more shocked he became.
His gaze focused on the boyfriend.
This man was her boyfriend, they were even at the point of discussing marriage. Who would have thought such a thing would happen?
He was shocked in his heart.
But thinking about it, he could also understand. This kind of situation was not an isolated case, but merely a microcosm of the entire apocalyptic situation.
Gao Shang and the university student dared not confront Lam Pham.
Mainly because they saw the sword in Lam Pham's hand.
If they attacked Lam Pham, things would become very complicated, and Lam Pham could then enter self-defense mode.
Lam Pham turned to look at Ly Lan and said, "I live in Hoang City, Sunshine Shelter. Many survivors live there. Are you willing to come with me?"
Seeing a living survivor, he was very happy.
It was just that encountering these three men, his mood wasn't great. The only consolation was that he arrived in time and prevented a tragedy from happening.
Being able to rescue a strange survivor from tragedy was definitely a joyous occasion.
But in places he didn't know, who could imagine how many tragedies would occur?
"I am willing."
Ly Lan agreed without hesitation.
She didn't know Lam Pham, but Lam Pham gave her a very reassuring feeling, a sense of security.
"Then let's go."
Lam Pham paid no attention to the three of them. If Officer Hoang were still in Hoang City, he would take them to see Officer Hoang. But now, he didn't, nor did he take them away. Instead, he let them fend for themselves.
Ly Lan followed beside Lam Pham. As she left, she looked at her former boyfriend. There was disappointment in her eyes, and anger. Perhaps for her, even now, she hadn't figured out why things had become like this.
The university student watched them leave, "Brother Gao, are we just going to let them leave like this?"
Gao Shang said, "Then you go up? Didn't you see the weapon in his hand? Even if we have cleavers, don't you understand the principle that a longer weapon is stronger?"
The university student nodded, half-understanding, feeling like he had a point.
Immediately after.
Gao Shang kicked the boyfriend to the ground, "Still fucking eating?"
The boyfriend was knocked over. Seeing the potato chips scattered on the ground, he couldn't help but pick up the fallen chips and put them in his mouth.
"Did you hear where he said he was going just now?"
"Yes, Hoang City Sunshine Shelter," the university student said.
Gao Shang said, "I feel that if he can come, there must be a safe route. Staying here is also very safe, but the supplies won't last long. I feel that if we follow behind, we should also be safe."
