Chapter 475: Registering
After getting the directions from the soldier, Long Yu thanked him and led the team toward the side hall. Following the signs, they arrived within minutes. As soon as they stepped into the crowded side hall, all eyes turned to them.
Walking beside Long Yu, Yao Ran scanned the survivors.
Due to a severe lack of supplies and the relentless natural disasters, most of them suffered from long-term malnutrition, and their bodies were as thin as bamboo poles.
Yao Ran observed them as they joined the long line in front of one of the registration counters.
Just as she joined the line with Long Yu and the others, a thin woman approached them. Standing in front of Long Yu, she suddenly lifted her worn-out t-shirt.
The moment she did, Long Yu turned away and closed his eyes while Yao Ran covered his eyes with her palm.
Glaring at the thin woman, who was still holding up her t-shirt and exposing her naked upper body, Yao Ran coldly asked, "Want to die?"
The thin woman ignored Yao Ran and fixed her gaze on Long Yu. He licked her chapped lips and softly said, "Brother, you seem very capable. Can you let me follow you? I’m very clean. You can try me first and see if you like it."
Hearing her shameless words, Yao Ran was momentarily speechless. "..."
Behind them, Jia Xiang laughed at Long Yu for being targeted by a prostitute while the other men either closed their eyes or looked away.
Seeing the thin woman’s naked body, Huang Zhihui sighed, stepped forward, and then pulled her t-shirt down, covering her exposed body.
"What are you doing?" the thin woman asked in displeasure.
Huang Zhihui was unhappy that her goodwill was met with the thin woman’s displeasure and asked, "What are you doing? Do you think all men think with their lower bodies?"
The thin woman frowned and looked Huang Zhihui up and down.
After a few seconds, she scoffed. "You look healthy and clean, so you must be someone’s woman. Since you have a good life, why are you blocking my way? Why are you so selfish?"
Huang Zhihui’s expression darkened at her words. Crossing her arms, she retorted, "Do you think all women are as shameless as you? Also, with a body like that, I’m amazed if there are normal men who could react after seeing your body."
"You–!"
Realizing it was pointless to argue with Huang Zhihui, the thin woman snorted and ignored her. She then looked at Long Yu with shyness and then reached out to grab his hand. But just as her filthy fingers were about to touch the back of his hand, a sharp scream pierced the air.
"Ah!"
Before Huang Zhihui could react, something dropped near her feet, followed by the unmistakable sound of liquid dripping onto the ground.
Thud! Drip… drip… drip…
Looking down, Huang Zhihui swallowed hard and took a few steps back. Her eyes darted from the severed hand on the ground to the thin woman clutching her bleeding arm.
Leaning toward Deng Qiqi, Huang Zhihui whispered, "Did Elder Sister Yao Ran cut off her hand?"
Deng Qiqi stole a glance at Long Yu before responding in a hushed voice, "It was Captain."
Huang Zhihui turned to look at Long Yu—only to see Yao Ran’s palm still covering his eyes. While she stood in stunned silence, Yao Ran calmly withdrew her hand and said to her fiancé, "You deal with it."
Long Yu opened his eyes, only to find his fiancée ignoring both him and the thin woman. Suppressing the flicker of disappointment, he sighed inwardly before casting a cold gaze at the injured woman.
"Get lost."
The thin woman looked up, and the moment her eyes met Long Yu’s icy stare, a chill ran down her spine. Overcome with fear, she gritted her teeth, picked up her severed hand, and fled as if a demon were chasing her.
After she left, the surrounding survivors murmured in hushed voices, but the staff continued their work as if nothing had happened. Incidents like this happened so often that they had long since stopped caring.
Long Yu then turned to Yao Ran, reaching out to hold her hand from behind. Lowering his head, he rested it in the crook of her neck and whispered with a hint of expectation in his voice, "Jealous?"
Yao Ran glanced at him but said nothing.
After staring at her for a few seconds, Long Yu spoke again in a low voice. "Ran Ran, I saw nothing."
Yao Ran nodded at his explanation. "I know."
Seeing that she wasn’t angry, Long Yu smiled. "Then why didn’t you deal with that woman yourself? Were you not jealous or angry?"
Yao Ran looked at him and replied, "If you had been attracted to her just now, there would be no need for me to get angry or jealous."
Long Yu sighed at her words and pouted, "Why can’t you just act like other people’s fiancées? I also want to see you getting jealous because of me."

Chuckling at his childish complaint, Yao Ran gently patted his cheek. "There is no need to hold onto a drifting heart, and there is no need to test a loyal one. I won’t act unreasonably just to see how much you love me since I can already see it in your actions and deeds."
Hearing this, Long Yu chuckled before placing a light kiss on her cheek in satisfaction.
Behind them, Jia Xiang and the others could only roll their eyes as the couple shamelessly flaunted their affection in public and stuffed them with dog food.
As the two whispered to each other, the line slowly moved forward. After nearly an hour of waiting, it was finally Yao Ran’s turn.
The staff member behind the counter smiled at her and said, "Welcome to Nirvana, Comrade. Please take a seat."
After Yao Ran sat down, the staff member handed her a piece of paper and explained, "You can register your name as a resident here, but you will need to pay for the resident and other monthly fees."
