6: If You Won’t Comply, Get Out

“Bastard! Y-you’re breaking the law!!”

“Stop groping me!!!”

Feeling Shen Yi’s hand slide inside her clothes, Xu Wanting’s face turned red and she struggled even harder.

Shen Yi ignored her resistance, patted her down carefully, and pulled out a folding fruit knife.

As expected!

One really had to stay alert in the apocalypse!

Even when facing a frail woman, he could not let down his guard!

If his System had not required him to take in women to unlock supplies, he would never have considered having one before he could protect himself.

No matter how pretty she was, he still would not have considered it.

However, he had no choice.

To unlock more resources, he could only follow the System’s rules.

Luckily, the System wanted him to shelter women.

In general, a woman, whether in strength or constitution, could not match a man.

As long as he was not ambushed, Shen Yi was confident he could handle Xu Wanting.

Therefore, the very first thing he did was search her to make sure she was not hiding a sharp weapon.

“Give me the bag.” Shen Yi still held Xu Wanting down and looked at the pink backpack on her back.

“What do you want!?”

Xu Wanting shielded the bag and refused to hand it over.

She still had the snacks she had scrimped and saved inside, and if those were taken she would not last long.

Xu Wanting suddenly felt a twinge of regret.

She should never have come.

Even if she did come, she should have hidden the snacks first.

Why on earth had she foolishly carried all of her rations over?

Did she really expect a guy she barely spoke to on normal days to protect her under these circumstances?

If Shen Yi were truly so kind, he would not have threatened her with water.

He probably wanted nothing more than to use her up completely!

The more she thought about it, the more frightened and angry Xu Wanting became!

“Let me go, you filthy loser, let me go right now or I’ll call the police!!”

Her beautiful eyes glared at Shen Yi, and she struggled with even greater force.

At 1.75 m tall, Xu Wanting’s slim figure was nearly as tall as Shen Yi.

Shen Yi was only 1.78 m.

Still, men were naturally stronger than women, and after eating and drinking his fill these past two days, Shen Yi was not afraid of her resistance.

Ignoring her struggles, he yanked off the bag, unzipped it, and dumped everything onto the floor.

Chocolate, chips, spicy strips… plus lipstick, face masks, sunscreen, and assorted cosmetics spilled out.

Shen Yi nudged through the pile with his foot, checked that no sharp weapon was hidden, and then released Xu Wanting.

“You bastard! You filthy loser!”

The moment he let go, the furious Xu Wanting swung a slap at him.

Shen Yi stepped back, dodged, and slapped her in return.

Pa!

The crisp sound echoed sharply, ruthless and loud.

Half of Xu Wanting’s face turned red and burned with pain, and she stared at Shen Yi in disbelief.

“Don’t forget why you came here, so quit acting up; you still want to hit me? If you won’t cooperate, get out! I don’t need an ungrateful wretch!” Shen Yi said coldly.

The ferocity on his face showed he was not joking.

“Y-you actually hit me?”

“What right do you have to hit me!?”

This was the first time in her life Xu Wanting had been hit by a man, let alone treated so roughly.

Rage almost burst from her eyes.

Being slapped by a guy she usually looked down on, Xu Wanting felt a surge of fury she could not suppress.

“Since you won’t compromise, then get out!”

Without caring about her expression or mood, Shen Yi shoved her out of the dorm, tossed her snacks and backpack after her, and locked the door.

Since Xu Wanting was unwilling, he would not force her.

Keeping a ticking time bomb around would only make him sleep uneasily at night.

What if she bore a grudge and tried to hurt him while he slept?

Under normal circumstances he could handle a woman, but an ambush was another story.

Rather than guard against a thief for a thousand days, it was better to drive her away at once.

“Shen Yi, open up! Open the door right now!”

Staring at the pitch-black corridor, Xu Wanting’s anger vanished, her mind cleared, and she began pounding on the door.

Thrown out at this hour, she had nowhere to go.

Go back to the girls’ dorm?

She did not dare!

She did not even dare walk down the stairs.

If she ran into that flesh-eating mutated dog again, she had no idea whether she would survive.

Besides, the black fog held more than just mutated dogs; there were plenty of other monsters!

“Shen Yi, open up, I-I was wrong! Please let me in!”

Xu Wanting’s voice quavered; looking into the dark hallway, she felt as if some creature were staring at her from the shadows.

Fear.

The fear of the unknown loomed like a giant beast!

Shen Yi frowned; if Xu Wanting kept shouting, she might attract monsters and make things even more dangerous.

He pocketed the folding fruit knife and said through the door in a cold voice, “Stop yelling! If you want in, think it through first.”

“If you won’t compromise, then go back, and if you draw monsters over, you’ll be the first thing they eat!”

Hearing that, Xu Wanting grew even more frightened.

Her pleas became much quieter.

“I-I’ll do it, please open up, let me in!”

“I-I really know I was wrong!”

Shen Yi still did not open the door.

He decided to let her calm down outside for a bit.

The apocalypse was not ordinary life; in peaceful times a little tantrum merely annoyed people, but here it could get you killed.

Xu Wanting had to learn obedience, otherwise Shen Yi would rather forgo the supplies than shelter this long-legged airhead.

“Open the door, please open…”

Outside, Xu Wanting trembled, her face pale, constantly glancing toward the stairwell.

Strange noises drifted from there now and then; she did not know whether they came from mutated creatures or something else, and her knees shook so badly she dared not make a sound.

Xu Wanting finally understood that no one would indulge her in the apocalypse.

Treating Shen Yi the way she used to would really get her kicked out!

After witnessing the mutated dog devour a person, her mindset shifted quickly.

Having gone days without seeing another living soul, she was truly terrified.

The outburst she had had at Shen Yi was simply fear turning into anger with nowhere else to go.

She never expected Shen Yi to humor her; instead he had hit her and even thrown her out.

Confident in her figure and looks, Xu Wanting ran into a wall for the first time.

She realized Shen Yi was not like her usual admirers and would not spoil her.

“Shen Yi, I-I really know I was wrong…”

“Please, let me in, I’m so scared!”

Xu Wanting broke down in tears.
