Ten minutes later, the four men cleaned themselves up and returned to the living room. At this time, Li Qi could only exhale but couldn’t inhale.

Ye Xiaoyu was so keen that she noticed that Shen Chen’s eyes were no longer bloodshot. She felt a little relieved then. However, she noticed another problem with the four men. They were about to face a very difficult situation. Ye Xiaoyu couldn’t figure out Li Qi’s death and Zhao Ze’s injuries.

What was going on? Everyone was confused. Just at this time, Zhao Ze woke up. When he saw Shen Chen, his eyes flashed with shock. He couldn’t believe his eyes. “You… you…”

“Yeah, you’re awake. That’s good. You saved me from splashing cold water on your face!”

Zhao Ze was filled with great fear, and he stared at the man in front of him. He couldn’t believe that Shen Chen was safely intact. ‘How could he… how is he still alive?’ Zhao Ze asked himself.

Huge fear swallowed his whole body. Zhao Ze’s strong desire to live made him think fast. He suddenly shouted to the others, “Come on! Untie me! These four people are bad guys. They lied to Li Qi and cut him down with a fire ax. Then, they just let him bleed as a bait to cheat the zombies. I didn’t want to do it, so they beat me. They are animals! They are scum!”

When Zhao Ze finished, everyone’s expressions changed. Li Jing and Lin Qianqian stood up at once. Although Zhang Hongtao didn’t move, his eyebrows were deeply wrinkled. His legs were set apart, which was obviously a defensive pose.

“Go f*ck yourself!” Pan Di was so angry that he wanted to give Zhao Ze a hard kick.

Guo Yuan and Zhao Zhen quickly stopped him. “Calm down, calm down!”

“Pan Di, you killed Li Qi. You watched him bleed to death. I dare you to deny it. In front of all these people, I dare you to deny that you watched Li Qi dying in front of you,” Zhao Ze cried madly.

There was no doubt that what Zhao Ze said was really provocative. Pan Di suddenly got tongue-tied. When Li Qi was injured, he was the only one there watching Li Qi bleed, but he really didn’t know how Li Qi was hurt.

His hesitation made Ye Xiaoyu become suspicious.

Zhang Hongtao stood up immediately and asked, “Shen Chen, what about these things he just said? I hope you can give me an explanation.”

“Explanation?” Shen Chen smiled, then continued to say, “Of course I will give you my answer because…” Shen Chen’s smile showed extreme indifference. “I also need some time to deal with it!”

His indifference was felt by everyone because of his expressionless face. Suddenly, everyone felt their heart shiver, and they suddenly caught their breath. The anger hidden in the bottom of Shen Chen’s heart spread to everyone. But they didn’t quite understand what Shen Chen was talking about. Only the other three men showed the same angry look as Shen Chen.

“Answer! Do you need an answer? You are the murderer! Let go of me! Otherwise, you are challenging all of us!” Zhao Ze continued to yell at Shen Chen. His body shivered because of fear, but he still cried frantically. He knew that if he didn’t act like this, his end would only be death.

Shen Chen slowly clapped his hands and looked at Zhao Ze, who was gasping heavily like an old dog on the ground. Shen Chen exclaimed, “What a genius! I begin to admire you now. What a clever plan!”

Zhao Ze suddenly gave a shiver, shaking like a pendulum. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“Don’t understand? It doesn’t matter. We have time to talk about it carefully.” Shen Chen moved the chair in front of Zhao Ze and looked at Zhao Ze. “In fact, if you confess now, I can make you die peacefully. But if you really insist this way, you know what you’ll end up like!”

Shen Chen’s fingers creaked as he cracked his knuckles, and the cruel smile on his face made Zhao Ze clearly realize how miserable his end would be!

“You see, he’s still threatening me! You must let me go. Let’s leave here. We can build our own team!” Zhao Ze was so scared that his mind was somewhat unhinged. He knew that if his plan failed, he would die. But he wasn’t willing to lose to Shen Chen! He had one last opportunity. As long as Li Jing, Lin Qianqian and Zhang Hongtao believed him and helped him against Shen Chen, he could survive.

“Listen to me. Let’s leave them together. Zhang Hongtao will be the new boss! We can rely on our own! They are not human beings. If we follow them, we will die like Li Qi sooner or later!” Shen Chen shouted.

Everyone thought about what he said. Li Jing’s eyes suddenly turned to Zhang Hongtao, whose eyes showed doubt and indecision.

Zhang Xiaoya looked at Zhao Zhen anxiously, while Lin Qianqian gritted her teeth, clenched her fists, and looked at Zhang Hongtao expectantly.

Ye Xiaoyu blinked. The tension on her face subsided slowly.

Zhao Ze cried for help for a long time alone. However, all the other people dared not make a move, which was totally different from what he had thought before. He suddenly realized that he seemed to have made a mistake.

‘Li Jing, Lin Qianqian, and that Zhang. Why are they hesitating? Why are they refusing to leave the team after listening to what I said?’

Unfortunately, Zhao Ze had made a mistake. Sometimes, fear makes people quit. The more he said about Shen Chen’s cruelty, the more these people were afraid to leave. And Zhang Hongtao, in the temporary alliance, was not a simple person like Lin Qianqian.

After a long time, the room was as still and silent as death, and only the sound of Zhao Ze’s breathing could be heard. Gradually, it turned into a cry of despair.

Shen Chen stretched out his hands and smiled at Zhao Ze with regret. “Nobody believes you. What a pity!”

His look was filled with regret, and he looked at the others with a sigh. Li Jing felt so strange that she suddenly had an idea. It seemed that Shen Chen really wanted them to leave the team. This might be her own opinion, but such a feeling of being rejected by the team leader was really upsetting.

At this time, Lin Qianqian turned to look at Zhang Hongtao with an unkind look. In her opinion, as long as Zhang Hongtao said yes to her, she would slap Shen Chen and Ye Xiaoyu right away, then leave without looking back. As for Pan Di, she just wanted him to get out of here at once.

But Zhang Hongtao didn’t move, and she didn’t dare speak. Even Li Jing didn’t speak. All Lin Qianqian could do now was suppress her anger. She stared at Shen Chen.

Shen Chen seemed to have made up his mind. After no one mentioned leaving the team, he sighed regretfully. Then he turned to the people and said, “I know that you must have many questions at this time. I can explain it to you one by one later. But before that, I have a question to ask. This question concerns everyone’s safety.”

“What’s the question?” the other people asked.

They suddenly felt quite nervous. None of them knew what Shen Chen was going to ask and why it would affect everyone.

Shen Chen looked around, and his eyes stopped when they fell on Lin Qianqian. He looked at Lin Qianqian carefully and asked, “Lin Qianqian, are you on your period?”
