Luckily, he didn’t have to worry about straddling lines or breaking traffic rules, as the heavy-duty truck was a manual and couldn’t stall due to signal failure.

He carefully drove bit by bit, gradually getting a feel for it, and then slowly pulled out onto the street, slowly heading toward the residential area.

“Vroom…”

The red heavy-duty truck was on the road, and Li Ming, who had never driven such a truck before, didn’t dare to drive fast, slowly returning to the residential area.

Upon reaching the entrance of the residential area, he thought for a moment, didn’t rush to go in, but continued along the road until he reached a petrol station. There, he filled up the tank and also found a spare canister from the storage compartment of the truck and filled it with diesel as well. Only then did he return to the residential area, satisfied.

Fortunately, he had already cleared all the zombies on the road. Although he drove slowly, there weren’t any obstacles on the road, and he soon reached the outside of the residential area and parked the truck under his apartment building.

He turned off the ignition, removed the key, and parked the truck securely. Then, he headed straight up to the fifth floor.

Once at the door, he was about to unlock it when he heard some voices. He immediately perked up his ears, furrowed his eyebrows, and decided against opening the door right away. Instead, he pressed his ear against the door.

The summer room was stuffy, and from behind the tightly closed door, the arguing voices of a man and a woman could faintly be heard.

“Zhang Yuan, don’t you know we’re married? You’re my wife, I’m your husband. Now that he’s in danger and wants to flee, you actually want to go with him. Aren’t you afraid that he’ll be killed out there, dragging you down with him?”

Peng Zhi stared at his wife, who was sweating from moving things for Li Ming. His face was extremely grave. “He’s given us so much food that we can hold out for at least ten more days. It’s been more than half a month since the apocalypse began. Do you really think help isn’t coming?”

“Why are you so unflinchingly loyal to him? Do you know what causes those tremors? Do you have any idea how terrifying that is?”

“We may have been set up by a matchmaker, but we’ve been married for two years. I gave your family a dowry of one hundred and eighty thousand dollars. He’s only given us some food. What can he use to compare with me? You’re going to stay with me, aren’t you?”

Peng Zhi’s eyes were fixed on the woman in front of him, his voice trembling with emotion.

When the earthquake started, not just Li Ming and his party of three were scared and worried. He was, too.

He was still asleep and was suddenly woken by the tremors and the sound of zombies growling. Waves of fear uncontrollably flooded his mind. When he finally came to his senses, he saw his wife helping Li Ming pack things up. Despite being covered in sweat, she persevered.

Only when he asked did he learn that his wife planned to leave with Li Ming!

The thought of his wife leaving him alone to face everything filled him with endless dread, so Peng Zhi decided to win his wife back at all costs!

Peng Zhi talked like he meant well, but at this point, was it of any use?

“Hmph, keep dreaming. You know as well as I do that we haven’t been rescued for a half month now. What, do you think waiting another ten days will make a difference?”

Zhang Yuan on the other side snorted and stated firmly, “As for danger, do you know how many zombies my husband has to kill every time he goes out? His spear is stained with filthy blood, and the sweat he sheds is more than the water you drink.”

“Don’t think my husband is like you, struggling to even carry a bucket of water, hiding at home all day trembling, lying on the bed all day doing nothing, too scared to even go out, living like a useless person, foolishly daydreaming all day. You have no idea how strong he is.”

At this point, Zhang Yuan’s fair, delicate ears reddened slightly. She knew very well how strong Li Ming was, but she was unshakeably firm in her belief.

“I’m your husband. I’ve told you, I’m your husband. We have a marriage certificate, we held a wedding ceremony, we took wedding photos, I paid the dowry. You said you liked me then. I love you so much!”

The fact that his wife was calling another man her husband right in front of him caused Peng Zhi to lose it. He shouted angrily, seemingly trying to turn the tide with his roar.

“Huh, why don’t you return the food to my dear husband? Or do you want me to have him go outside, find a bunch of cash and throw it in your face, and then carry me away from your bed all over again?”

Zhang Yuan sneered, looking at Peng Zhi with a sarcastic expression as she spoke.

“You, the food I got was on my own merit from Li Ming. Why should I have to return it?”

Peng Zhi gritted his teeth and spoke out fiercely.

“Oh, with what merit? My husband’s pity for you? Hmph, if it weren’t for my husband caring about my feelings, you wouldn’t even be able to eat a grain of rice!”

Zhang Yuan laughed in anger, adjusted her posture, and replied to Peng Zhi with a cold smirk.

“You… fine, let’s forget about the money, but we still have our feelings, don’t we? We’ve been sleeping in the same bed for two years. Surely, you must have some feelings for me?”

Peng Zhi’s expression changed a few times before he finally snorted and responded through clenched teeth.

“You really don’t have the guts, huh? You’re trying to win back the woman you bartered for food, yet you don’t dare to ask for a refund. I must have been blind to have married you after listening to the matchmaker.”

Zhang Yuan laughed, looked at Peng Zhi, a smile tugged at the corners of her mouth and then she added nonchalantly,

“Long-term relationships breed feelings, you say that’s true, but you’re so small, so short, so quick, you don’t even last a year compared to my husband’s three days!”

“How can you compare to him when it comes to long-term feelings!”

Zhang Yuan’s voice was gentle, but she was somewhat embarrassed to say these things. As she spoke, she seemed to recall certain scenes, and a blush spread from her ears to her neck.

The words took Peng Zhi, who stood in front of her, completely by surprise.

A year isn’t even as long as his three days…

Each sentence hammered into Peng Zhi’s mind like a heavy hammer, “He slept with my wife, and he was so energetic. I never dare to go that hard!”

Could it be possible that I really am so small, so short, so quick? No, absolutely not. She never complained before, she must be confused now.

No, I have to salvage my dignity!

Peng Zhi’s breath was getting more rapid and heavier. He was staring at the woman in front of him, who had an attractive figure and lovely legs that looked almost unreal.

This was the wife he had married only after spending hundreds of thousands.

“Zhang Yuan, you!”

Peng Zhi hardened his heart, his expression on his face was very ferocious, the flush of anger spread across his face and neck.

Seeing him like this, Zhang Yuan frowned, her heart suddenly cooled down. Damn it, Li Ming wasn’t here. She had upset him too much.

Just as she was thinking about what to do, there was a dull thud at the door.

“Bang…”

Li Ming pushed open the door. It hit the wall with a bang, startling Zhang Yuan and the angry Peng Zhi, who instinctively turned to look.

Li Ming was holding a gun, he walked over to Peng Zhi calmly and looked him in the eye: “What were you just about to say?”

“Hu…Hu…”

Peng Zhi looked at Li Ming, who was emanating a relentless aura, he took deep breaths and hissed through his gritted teeth: “I said… you two should be careful on the road.”

After saying this, Peng Zhi squeezed out a smile on his face, not daring to look at Li Ming’s strong body, and the gun tip still covered in blood. He quickly turned around and walked back into his room.

“Bang…”

After closing the door, Peng Zhi slumped to the floor, recalling Li Ming’s terrifying figure, he breathed a sigh of relief.

“Thank goodness, he didn’t resort to violence…”

Outside the door.

Seeing how Peng Zhi who was just panting like a bull and furious, casually dropped a sentence and then left, Li Ming couldn’t help but laugh softly: “This guy really has some funny side.”

“He’s just gutless. He can only yell at me, a woman. When he saw you coming, he didn’t dare to say anything.”

Zhang Yuan was a bit speechless, but she was also relieved, she moved her long legs clad in snug blue jeans, walked over to him, and wiped his sweat: “Thank goodness you came, who knows what that gutless guy would’ve done, he scared me to death.”

“Don’t worry, he won’t get a chance in the future.”

Li Ming patted Zhang Yuan’s butt, gave it a squeeze, and laughed.

“Yep, in the future I’m gonna stick with my husband, obey him, and keep far away from him. I won’t give him the chance.”

Zhang Yuan pouted, was lightly pecked by Li Ming, and finally she felt relieved.

After being harassed by Peng Zhi, all her resentment towards him welled up, making her somewhat irritated. It was only when being comforted by Li Ming that she could breathe easy.

At that moment, she saw the lust in Li Ming’s eyes.

Did he want to…
