Zhou Ranjun searched back and forth inside for a long ti, ending up covered in dust, but he did not find the person he wanted to see.
A woman inside the building caught sight of Zhou Ranjun and imdiately realized why such an incident had occurred at their residence. She beca furious at once, "Yujie’s husband, what are you doing?"
"I’m looking for my wife!" Zhou Ranjun had no kind words and roared at the woman, his presence instantly petrifying her with fear.
"We... We haven’t seen her!"
The woman panicked, for the man in front of her was a Level 6 New Human, an undeniable strongman in this post-apocalyptic era! The woman’s family had always tried to ingratiate themselves with Zhou Ranjun, and since the apocalypse began, the greatest danger they had faced was rely a Level 3 zombie. They dared not even contemplate anything above Level 3. Having a Level 6 New Human angry at her nearly scared her soul away.
"She often cos here, how can she not be here? How can she not be!"
Zhou Ranjun bellowed, his anger distorting his facial expression to the point where people dared not look directly at him.
"I... I really don’t know, she hasn’t been here today..." The woman looked wronged; she genuinely did not know where Bai Yujie had gone.
Zhou Ranjun’s wife, Bai Yujie, had suffered inhuman torture in the early days of the apocalypse, leaving her with severe psychological trauma. Even with Zhou Ranjun’s ticulous care afterward, the unbearable mories could never be erased. As a result, Bai Yujie’s behavior was often like that of an innocent child, curious about everything.
Once, Bai Yujie had co here accidentally and been seen by the woman, who perhaps looking pitiable covered in mud and laughing continuously, had received so food from Bai Yujie out of pity. Because of this act, Bai Yujie had since then co here to play with the woman’s child. Gradually, Zhou Ranjun learned of this and, seeing that the woman’s family did not harm her and got along well, he also agreed to let Bai Yujie visit when she was free.
Over ti, the woman ca to realize that the seemingly inconspicuous mad woman’s husband was actually a high-ranking official of the Peace Party. Thanks to Yujie’s connection, the woman’s family got to know Zhou Ranjun and, because of his power, they received quite a few benefits in the United District.
As for Zhou Ranjun, he panicked when he initially realized his wife was not at ho. However, his panic turned to alarm when he saw a few bloodstained teeth in the bathroom. He searched frantically in the nearby area around his ho but to no avail, and now he had co here, hoping to see his wife’s figure; otherwise, he felt he might go mad.
He loved his wife very much. In the early days of the apocalypse, she had been by his side, giving him special mories that made him cherish her even more. So, even though Bai Yujie suffered from severe psychological trauma that prevented her from living a normal life, Zhou Ranjun never left her side.
He did not necessarily believe his wife was here. It was more a hope, a longing for a glimr of hope.
But the greater the hope, the greater the disappointnt, and Bai Yujie was not here.
"It’s impossible! It can’t be! You must have hidden her away! Release her this instant!"
Zhou Ranjun’s expression was terrifying as the woman in front of him stared blankly, her heart pounding.
Was it anger?
No, that was only a small part of it. More than that, it was fear. The man before her was so obsessive and unreasonable, and yet they dared not provoke Zhou Ranjun with any harsh words.
Facing this Level 6 New Human, the woman simply did not know how to interact with him. She could only look at him, hoping he would calm down. She wanted to speak, but she couldn’t muster the strength even to talk!
Everything felt so powerless. Her child and her disabled father could only hide in a room, poking their heads out tremblingly to watch this man.
And her husband had already been crushed to death by a collapsing wall. She wanted to hate but didn’t dare. Ordinary people like her were insignificant in the presence of this man!
However, Zhou Ranjun had lost his patience. He knew his wife was not in this place, but he wanted to vent!
He looked at the woman in front of him, and his roar shattered the little rationality he had left. The next second, he raised his fist; the incomparable power of a Level 6 New Human concentrated in his arm, and in just an instant, the woman felt enveloped by a thick aura of death!
Her fear was evident in her eyes, and her body trembled even more violently.
"No... don’t! Please... calm down. We don’t know where she went, please spare us... I’m sorry... I’m so sorry!"
The woman collapsed to the ground, repeating her apologies over and over.
But Zhou Ranjun had no intention of sparing her. Perhaps from the mont he beca a New Human, the law of the apocalypse was engraved in his mind, where from then on, human life did not matter, especially that of ordinary people, cheap as ants!
The woman sensed the murderous intent emanating from Zhou Ranjun, and she felt as if one of her feet had already stepped into the gates of hell, with death imminent.
"Please... spare my child, I beg you!"
The woman continued to plead, but Zhou Ranjun’s fist was already falling toward her as a gust of wind began to stir in the air.
In the apocalypse, there were no miracles, but it seed as if the heavens took pity on this woman, deeming her innocent and deserving of rcy.
Zhou Ranjun’s fist had not yet struck when suddenly a loud bang erupted from the side wall, a massive force bursting through and breaking open the load-bearing wall with ease, as if using a body to smash through tofu, and imdiately, Zhou Ranjun felt his neck being gripped by a large hand, hoisted up without any ability to resist.
"Who!"
Zhou Ranjun panicked and turned his head to roar, but when he saw the person behind him who was gripping his neck and lifting him up, his facial expression instantly beca dumbfounded. Before he could react, the owner of the hand exerted force, slamming him into the wall.
That impact brought Zhou Ranjun’s lost rationality back. He rose from the ground, his face showing a respectful expression.
"Vice-President..."
The person was Ah Fu, and the woman beside him gasped and swiftly approached, for a "human" with such a massive body size was well known to almost everyone in the United District.
"Vice-President, save us!"
