Chapter 510: 417 The poor sucker who lured zombies away for her_3

“Su Ruyan refused to take out the supplies from her space.”

At this point, Captain Zhao was at the peak of his irritation.

He delegated his guarded position to someone else in the team, turned around, drew a knife, and slashed Su Ruyan’s arm.

Amidst Su Ruyan’s cries of terror and pain, Captain Zhao said fiercely,

“You’ve been a teammate with us for so long, you should have known what kind of people we are.”

“Now is not the time for you to be throwing a tantrum.”

“Just take out the supplies and that’s it, but if you don’t, you know we have plenty of ways to torture you.”

Desperately leaning back, the blood on Su Ruyan’s arm had already stained her sleeve red.

That was when she realized that Captain Zhao and his teammates were serious.

As Captain Zhao’s knife approached her again, poised to cut her another time, Su Ruyan quickly turned her head and a large pile of food appeared beside her.

A few teammates, exhausted from killing zombies, hurried over and devoured the food.

Captain Zhao then squatted in front of Su Ruyan, looking at her tear-streaked face, he said:

“Don’t blame me, it’s just that we’ve been too nice to you on normal days, making you forget your place.”

“Rest assured, no matter what, we won’t kill you.”

“But from now on, you need to be more obedient, unless absolutely necessary; otherwise, we wouldn’t want to treat you this way.”

Su Ruyan, now bound, had a large rag stuffed in her mouth.

She lowered her head, emitting a muffled crying sound.

At this moment, she didn’t dare let her cries grow louder, fearing it might displease Captain Zhao.

He might slash her again.

Seeing Su Ruyan’s now fearful and docile response, Captain Zhao felt extremely satisfied.

He stood up, knife in hand, and a teammate quietly asked him,

“Should we apply some medicine to Su Ruyan’s arm?”

Captain Zhao, unconcerned, waved his hand,

“Who hasn’t been injured in the apocalypse? Does such a minor wound need medicine?”

“Leave it be; she doesn’t fight zombies or exert much effort, in a little while, the wound will stop bleeding on its own.”

“We shouldn’t waste medicine on her.”

This had always been Captain Zhao’s true thought.

Previously, Su Ruyan, acting daintily, would demand medical attention even for a small scratch.

Each time Captain Zhao saw this, although he didn’t show it outwardly, he secretly felt it was a waste using medicine on her.

In the apocalypse, medical resources are extremely precious, and those navigating through it like them don’t use medicine unless absolutely necessary.

Therefore, it made Su Ruyan’s fussiness all the more apparent.

Hearing Captain Zhao’s cold, heartless words, tears rolled down Su Ruyan’s face again.

This blow from Captain Zhao had knocked her from heaven straight into hell, and Su Ruyan had lost all hope in him and his team.

Taking advantage of the moment when Captain Zhao’s men were exhausted from killing, she forcefully broke the ropes on her wrists.

She then quietly observed the scene outside the ruins.

Perhaps Captain Zhao and the others, being preoccupied with killing zombies, hadn’t noticed what the surroundings looked like.

But Su Ruyan saw.

They had tied her on the second floor of the ruins.

From her position, Su Ruyan could see a small patch of ground behind the zombies attacking the ruins, where Hua Mi, swinging a large sword, appeared to be clearing a swath of land.

On the other side of the cleared space was the Qu Family’s shelter.

So, if Su Ruyan could manage to attract the zombies’ attention, she could run to where the Qu Family was.

She thought of all the grievances she had suffered in Captain Zhao’s team, her eyes filled with indignation.

Just then, a man walked up from the lower floors.

Su Ruyan immediately bowed her head, her ropes had been ground off but were visibly tied around her in every other visible aspect.

The man who had come upstairs held a water bottle in his hand.

Perhaps considering that Su Ruyan had always been treated like a favorite in the group, and now that Captain Zhao was treating her this way, it might traumatize her.

Thus, the man’s attitude towards Su Ruyan was still very gentle.

He unscrewed the cap of the water bottle, placing its mouth against Su Ruyan’s lips.

In her eyes, there was a hint of murderous intent.

See, the perfect scapegoat to attract the zombies had arrived.
