Chapter 21: Such Is the Human Heart

"It’s Liu Yue, not Liu Yue," Liu Yue corrected, emphasizing the pronunciation.

"My apologies, my apologies. I was just reminded of someone else," Ye Nan said, looking awkward.

Liu Yue shot him a look filled with seductive allure, secretly thinking that while this guy looked upright and serious on the surface, he was actually a little pervert underneath. It really went to show that you couldn't judge a book by its cover.

Afterward, the group exchanged a few words, gaining a preliminary understanding of one another.

Manager Wang suddenly asked, "Brother Ye, what are your plans for the future?"

Ye Nan replied, "Just looking for a chance to break out, I suppose. After all, I still have companions, and they’re waiting for me to bring back some food."

Manager Wang said, "It’s crawling with zombies outside; how dangerous would that be? Why not stay here instead?"

"This... I don't think that would be appropriate," Ye Nan said.

Manager Wang continued, "We’re actually short a handyman here. If you’re willing to stay, we’ll provide you with two meals a day."

One of the security guards chimed in, "Kid, don't miss out on such a good opportunity. If you stick with Brother Wang, you’ll definitely be living the high life."

Ye Nan declined, "Thank you for the offer, but I’m sorry, I have to head back."

Manager Wang stepped forward, stared into Ye Nan’s eyes, and said aggressively, "What if I insist that you stay?"

Behind them, a tall, thin security guard let out a sinister laugh. A fruit knife appeared in his hand, and he threatened viciously, "Kid, I suggest you be smart about this. Stay here and work as our laborer; we’ll give you a sausage and a piece of bread every day so you won't starve. But if you dare to refuse, heh heh, I’ll poke a hole in you with this knife. Take your pick."

When he first entered, Ye Nan had sensed that these people were ill-intentioned, which was why he had been playing along. He hadn't expected them to drop the mask after only a few sentences.

However, Ye Nan wasn't afraid. As a Level 2 superhuman, if he couldn't handle a few ordinary people, he might as well go find a block of tofu to smash his head against.

Liu Yue crossed her arms, making her ample chest stand out even more, and smiled, "Little brother, I suggest you just stay. It will save you from suffering. It’s the apocalypse now; even if we kill you, no one will care."

Seeing Ye Nan’s hesitant look, Manager Wang stopped pretending altogether. He pulled out a kitchen knife from the side and said with a savage expression, "Kid, answer me honestly: do you have women among your companions? Especially pretty ones? If you do, bring them here so I can have some fun with them. I'll make sure to put a giant green hat on you right in front of your face, and then I’ll let you go. Otherwise, you’re going to suffer a miserable fate."

Ye Nan was speechless. With a body like a bloated pig, you make me want to vomit just looking at you, and you want to cuckold me? Are you even worthy?

The tall, thin security guard licked his lips, his eyes glowing with lecherous intent. "Boss, that’s a brilliant idea. Cuckolding this kid in front of his eyes—just
