Chapter 76: Too Damn Overbearing

White silk suddenly spurted from the mutated black spider’s fangs, leaving Lin Zhiwei no time to react and completely taken by surprise.

Ordinary spiders never shoot silk from their mouths; they spin it from the silk glands in their abdomens.

Through those glands, spiders secrete liquid proteins that solidify into silk the moment they touch air.

So when the husky pinned the mutated black spider’s abdomen to the ground, Lin Zhiwei did not bother to stay on guard.

Yet she never imagined that this mutated black spider would defy all common sense!

Its silk actually shot from its fangs!

Lin Zhiwei tried to dodge, but it was already too late.

The white strand traveled at a blinding speed!

And like a sharp arrow, if it struck flesh it would pierce straight through in an instant!

At that critical moment, Shen Yi Teleported over, yanked Lin Zhiwei, and pulled her into his arms.

The white silk grazed Lin Zhiwei’s arm, carving a deep bloody gash that even carried a trace of corrosion.

Fortunately, only her arm was wounded, and her life was not in danger.

“Woof!!”

The mutated husky saw its master injured, barked in fury, then raised a massive paw and slammed it down, smashing the mutated black spider’s head to pulp as various fluids splattered across the floor…

With its head destroyed, the mutated black spider struggled briefly before it slowly stopped moving.

Only then did Shen Yi look away, glance at the injured Lin Zhiwei in his arms, and scold, “Why are you so reckless? Use your brain… even the weakest mutant creature can easily take a human life.”

“You’re a researcher yourself; you should understand mutant animals better than I do and be even more cautious.”

“I… I understand.”

Holding her wounded arm, Lin Zhiwei, for some reason, did not dare talk back.

It wasn’t that she feared Shen Yi; rather, a strange feeling stirred inside her.

“Could this be what falling in love feels like?”

That sudden thought popped into Lin Zhiwei’s mind.

Even after brushing shoulders with death, she felt little fear and could calmly analyze her own reactions.

“Let’s get inside first and disinfect and dress your arm.”

Shen Yi glanced at the bloody wound on Lin Zhiwei’s arm.

The silk was actually corrosive; though the effect wasn’t strong, much of the flesh on Lin Zhiwei’s arm had been eaten away, sizzling ominously…

Despite such a serious injury, the woman didn’t utter a sound… her endurance was astonishing.

The two entered the building, but the mutated husky was too large to follow and had to lie at the doorway.

It stared at the mutated black spider’s corpse as if aching to devour it.

However, before entering, Lin Zhiwei had warned it repeatedly that the black spider was absolutely off-limits!

Whether the husky understood was unclear, but at least it didn’t eat it.

Inside the building.

Shen Yi discovered that the first floor had already been cleaned.

The blood on the walls and the bodies on the ground had all been removed.

It seemed Jiang Nanyan’s shelter plan was coming along nicely.

In barely half a day, even the sanitation of this building had been addressed.

Not bad.

Shen Yi did prefer a clean environment.

He led Lin Zhiwei to the sofa, cut open the sleeve on her arm with medical scissors, and began disinfecting the wound with iodine.

Fortunately, he had raided a hospital earlier and harvested plenty of medical equipment and drugs.

Otherwise, if Lin Zhiwei’s wound went untreated, she might have lost the entire arm.

An infection could even cost her life!

“Be more careful next time; stop being so reckless. As long as you’re alive, you can do any research you want. It was pinned by Little Ha and couldn’t run, so what were you rushing for?”

While dabbing iodine with a cotton swab, Shen Yi went on and on, imparting his grand philosophy of cautious survival to Lin Zhiwei.

He himself would never take such a gamble.

No matter how weak the enemy, once he struck he would kill with overwhelming force!

Lin Zhiwei silently watched the man tending and bandaging her wound without saying a word.

Still, something changed.

A rare ripple surfaced in her usually calm, unruffled eyes…

“It’s bandaged; keep an eye on it yourself, and if it gets infected you’ll probably need a doctor to operate.”

After wrapping the wound with bandages, Shen Yi glanced at her composed expression.

This woman could really endure pain!

Throughout the entire bandaging process she hadn’t made a sound and had simply stared off into space… who knew what she was thinking…

He guessed she was pondering how to study that mutated black spider.

What a research maniac!

A research maniac who didn’t even care about her own life!

“I get it.”

Lin Zhiwei tilted her head slightly, avoiding Shen Yi’s eyes.

“All right, since the mutated black spider is dealt with, you rest for today; tomorrow we’ll pick a suitable building for you and set up the generator and all the equipment you need,” Shen Yi laid out the plan.

However, a fuel-powered generator comes with a new problem.

We would still have to hit a gas station later and haul back a large supply of gasoline.

“Honey!”

Right at that moment, a voice suddenly sounded behind them.

It was Jiang Nanyan, Su Yun, Xu Wanting, and 8 or 9 survivors who looked like local residents.

Shen Yi had already sensed them through Telepathy, so he was not surprised.

Likewise, once within 20 meters, the three women used Telepathy to confirm Shen Yi’s identity.

“Honey, we’ve finished registering every resident in this building, and they all agree to join our shelter!”

“Excluding their relatives, we’ve currently taken in 12 survivors!”

While reporting, Jiang Nanyan glanced at the pretty woman sitting beside Shen Yi.

Another new woman for Honey?

She was even injured?

For some reason, just looking at the newcomer made her feel uncomfortable.

It wasn’t jealousy or envy… just a strong sense of unease!

It felt as if one glance from that woman stripped away all her little schemes, leaving Jiang Nanyan completely exposed!

That feeling was truly unsettling!

The other survivors who had come along were startled to hear Jiang Nanyan address the man before them as “Honey” with such respect.

So, this man was the one really calling the shots!

The survivors secretly sized up Shen Yi, wondering how this pretty boy could make such a fierce she-devil obey so meekly!

They had personally watched Jiang Nanyan shoot someone dead!

Her cold expression and her disregard for human life had terrified the other male survivors!

Yet this beautiful but ruthless woman actually called that young man “Honey” and treated him with great deference.

It completely shattered the survivors’ view of the world!

What blew their minds even further was that the other two gun-toting beauties also called the pretty boy “Honey!”

In that instant, all the survivors were stupefied.

These three gorgeous women were all that pretty boy’s lovers!?

How could that be!!

Isn’t that illegal…

“Mm, good, keep it up. As soon as possible, find the residents in the other buildings of this complex and see if they’re willing to join our shelter. If they refuse, drive them out.”

“From now on this compound is the base of our shelter; no outsiders will be allowed to stay.”

After issuing the order, Shen Yi paused, swept his gaze over the survivors, and said, “If anyone dares cause trouble, just shoot them dead. Don’t spare the bullets… I have plenty.”

Hearing this, the survivors’ expressions changed, and their hearts pounded with fear.

This man was just too damn overbearing!

These were homes the residents had bought with their own money, yet he wanted to throw them out?

Those survivors who still clung to some moral baseline inevitably felt uncomfortable.

At the same time, they felt a bit relieved.

Thankfully, they had agreed to join the shelter.

Otherwise, they might have been in serious trouble.

Confronted by gun barrels, they truly would have been chased out of their own homes…

Sure enough, a man who could keep a band of ruthless women in line had to be even more ruthless himself!
