You were supposed to hoard supplies, why the heck did you hoard zombies!

Thump, thump, thump.

The knocking from outside immediately brought Gao Feng, who had been lying on the sofa, to a sitting position, her wary gaze instantly turning to the door.

Zhang Ye, on the other hand, seemed to have expected someone, gesturing to her that there was no need to be so tense.

Then, clearing his throat, he said:

"Come in."

The door creaked open.

Old Han's face, which looked as if it belonged to a chain smoker, peeked in from outside.

"Director Zhang, that kid is already here."

"Do you think..."

His gaze did not wander around the room but, after glancing at Zhang Ye, immediately maintained a posture of looking down at the floor, very submissive.

Gao Feng had already stood up from the sofa, and only after seeing who had come in did she relax.

"Alright, let him come in."

Zhang Ye folded his arms, his gaze fixed on the outside of the door, where Liang Zhijie, who had been hiding, saw he had been spotted and immediately walked forward, bending over and saying in a lowly manner:

"Hehe, Director Zhang, thank you for the medicine and food you gave me."

"My wife felt much better when she woke up this morning."

"I really am very grateful!"

He was about to continue, but Zhang Ye had already grown tired of these words and quickly waved his hand, saying, "Enough, enough, as long as your wife is recovering, that's good. Did you say yesterday you could take us to find some workers?"

Liang Zhijie hurriedly nodded.

"Yes, yes, yes, I know where to find workers! I came for this very reason!"

"Shall we go now?"

Zhang Ye livened up at this as well, rising to his feet, "Sure, this would be a good opportunity to check out Wanhao District."

But before he could even stand up, Gao Feng, who was acting as his personal bodyguard, immediately spoke up to stop him, "No! Boss, we just had a conflict with the security bureau today, what if something happens—"

"No worries, haha."

Zhang Ye rose to his feet before she could finish, then turned with a smile to say, "Isn't that why I have you here to protect me?"

Her words of concern immediately froze on her face like ice.

A blush spread rapidly from her ears to her neck.

She then emitted a soft acknowledgment.

Old Han at the doorway was still bowing his head, mumbling to himself, "This floor tile doesn't seem very clean... I should go out and get a mop to clean it up properly..."@@novelbin@@

As he was muttering, Zhang Ye's footsteps had already come to a halt in front of him.

"Go and tell Peng Yue,"

"I'm going out."

Old Han quickly pulled Liang Zhijie to the side to make way for Zhang Ye, and upon hearing this, he quickly asked:

"Hey, Director Zhang, what if the security bureau people come knocking again..."

"Then let him make his own decision."

"I trust him."

No sooner had Zhang Ye finished speaking than he was already descending the staircase, with Gao Feng closely following behind him like a shadow. The sound of their footsteps soon vanished downstairs.

Old Han was initially worried, as everyone was now relying on the company for their livelihood.

Zhang Ye's personal safety was naturally of utmost importance. Stay updated with My Virtual Library Empire

But he quickly thought of the female captain who was usually indifferent and reticent, and his worried mind settled down quite a bit.

With the strength that Gao Feng normally exhibited, ordinary three or five men were no match for her.

Moreover, she wasn't the foolish type.

She wouldn't go without taking people with her.

With this in mind, Old Han shook his head and moved on to the next room. The snoring sounds reminiscent of a male pig were echoing throughout the room.

No matter what, he still needed to inform the captain, so that if an accident did occur, they would be prepared.

Meanwhile downstairs, the Hunters stood with impeccable posture.

The training system jointly devised by Xu Lin and several retired soldiers had long since become mandatory for every captain of the Combat Department.

Thus, even though the Hunters seemed relaxed and informal in their downtime, they were still trained to military standards.

Standing at attention, one of the most fundamental drills, was also something they did proficiently.

Twelve Hunters stood in two neat rows.

Everyone was trying to suppress the excitement in their hearts, listening to the footsteps that occasionally approached and then gradually faded away, their emotions fluctuating like tides.

"Gao Yuliang!"

"Present!"

"Zeng Yi!"

"Present!"

"Wu Xiaolong!"

"Present!"

...

Gao Feng's voice could be heard from time to time.

One name after another spilled from her mouth.

Those who were chosen immediately stepped out from the ranks and then, without glancing sideways, walked towards the door and automatically formed a line.

On the somewhat desolate and quiet streets, five excited Hunters were calling out numbers.

"One!"

"Two!"

"Three!"

...

After the count was complete, Gao Feng ordered them to immediately check whether their weapons and equipment were fully carried, and only after confirming there were no omissions did she turn her head to look at Zhang Ye.

"Are we done?"

Zhang Ye was sitting on a chair and was almost falling asleep.

When the noise outside finally died down, he lazily yawned and lifted his eyelids to look at the woman in front of him.

Gao Feng still appeared somewhat worried, but then quickly became resolute.

"The check is all done!"

"We can set off!"

FInally, it was over.

Even though he had become accustomed to the woman's serious work style, Zhang Ye was still somewhat unable to bear it; hearing her say it was over, he immediately stood up from his chair.

But whether it was because he had been too harshly drained by those two women at home recently, his legs gave out, and he sat back down.

Gao Feng immediately stepped forward to support him.

Her concerned voice rang in his ear:

"Are you alright?"

"Is it because you've been sitting so long that your legs are numb?"

As she spoke, her face was almost against Zhang Ye's, her skin not fair but very rosy, looking like a ripe apple, which made Zhang Ye involuntarily stare a bit.

Only after hearing the woman calling "Zhang Ye" several times by his ear did he come back to his senses and awkwardly shifted his gaze, saying:

"Heh heh heh, isn't that right, sitting too long..."

"It seems I need to exercise more."

"Thank you."

Gao Feng nodded, evidently not thinking much of it, and after helping Zhang Ye stand up, she made a motion to support him as he walked a few steps.

Seeing this, Zhang Ye quickly declined her kindness and steadied himself before heading out.

Damn, sitting too long is harmful to one's health!

Time to get some exercise!

Since this was a private outing, Zhang Ye had Gao Feng drive the modified Land Rover, instead of letting anyone else follow with a truck.

Five Hunters found a separate vehicle to follow behind them.

Liang Zhijie was also sitting in the car.

It wasn't that he hadn't seen this kind of off-road vehicle, which wasn't rare in the past, but he was amazed at how a perfectly good off-road vehicle was modified to look like a tank without a turret.

Just the steel plates and iron sheets on the car door looked to be two or three centimeters thick.

Where there was supposed to be car glass, it had all been removed and replaced with slide-window style iron sheets, wrapped around with a layer of cage-like steel bars encompassing the entire body of the car.

Thankfully, there weren't many pedestrians on the streets of Wanhao District; otherwise, it would have been easy to scrape a few unlucky folks.

And perhaps even be extorted for compensation.

These days.

You can encounter all kinds of people.
