Chapter 45

The corners of my mouth twitched and I clenched my fists. Mom and the others also looked unhappy.

The door of the hotel opened, and a middle-aged bald man walked out with a happy expression on his face. Before anyone could reply, he walked over and said to himself, “Haha! Today is really an eye-opener. I saw so many beauties at once. Any one of them is sexier than the AV actresses and third-level porn stars in the past. Look at this big breast and this figure. Even clothes can’t cover it. Lucas, you are awesome! Hurry and take them to Patrick’s place. You will definitely be blessed. Maybe Patrick will give you one to warm your bed if he is happy.”

This man didn’t notice the gloomy expressions on my mother and I. Looking at his face, it was as if my mother and the others were spoils of war brought here, and he was already considering how to distribute and dispose of them.

The person who brought us here quickly interrupted the other person, fearing that something else would irritate us further: “No! Nathan, you misunderstood!”

As he said that, he walked up to the middle-aged bald man, grabbed his arm and walked to the side, talking in a low voice, and occasionally pointed at us. At the same time, the men who had been taught a lesson earlier also hurried back to the hotel, refusing to stay outside any longer.

“I guess there are no good people here.” I stared at the middle-aged balding man with disgust and muttered to myself.

I don’t know when it started, but my possessiveness became stronger and stronger, and this bald man showed that kind of face to my mother and others as soon as we met, which really made me want to shoot this bastard.

“There’s nothing we can do about it. We’re so beautiful. Men always have the urge to possess beautiful women.” Anna didn’t seem to care and instead joked.

“That’s true.” My second aunt agreed and glanced at me meaningfully.

My aunt and mother ignored the two of them and looked around outside the hotel for a few times. They didn’t see any armored vehicles and couldn’t help but frown.

I looked inside the hotel and saw some people sleeping on the floor in the lobby, men and women, old and young. The old ones had white hair and the young ones were even younger than me.

There were some daily necessities scattered around the hotel lobby, either on the counter or on the table or on the floor. I couldn’t tell whether they were their own or someone else’s. Not only was I looking at them, some people in the hotel were also looking at us outside the door. Moreover, most people’s eyes were focused on my mother and Anna.

I can’t help but sigh that even at the end of the world, beautiful women can still attract a lot of attention.

Lucas and the middle-aged bald man finally finished talking. The bald man changed his previous expression and walked over with a kind and smiling face. He rubbed his hands and said enthusiastically: “Oh, sorry, I misunderstood just now. Look at my broken mouth. I hope I didn’t offend you guys.”

The reason for this quick change in attitude was naturally that he had learned how these seemingly weak beautiful mature women subdued a group of big men in an instant.

“Okay, enough of the nonsense. I just want to ask you a question. I heard that you have some armored vehicles left behind by the army. Where are they?”

It can be seen that my aunt doesn’t have a good impression of the man in front of her, so she goes straight to the point.

Seeing the aunt’s attitude, the bald man didn’t care. Instead, he shook his head and smiled, and replied: “You want to leave in an armored vehicle, right? Then I’m afraid you will be disappointed.”

“What do you mean?” We were all confused. Could it be that the armored vehicle had been driven away by someone else? It was not impossible. After all, the armored vehicle was very suitable as a vehicle for breaking out. It was impossible for it to wait for us here and not allow others to drive away first.

The bald man sighed and explained regretfully, “It’s true that there is an armored vehicle. It’s parked in the hotel’s underground parking lot. The problem is that it’s broken down.”

“Broken!?” We were shocked. The armored vehicle was broken? Even Elizabeth and her daughter were shocked.

“You don’t know the situation at that time. We were protected by the army as we left the city. Some of us rode in armored vehicles, and some rode in buses. But who knew that we would encounter a large group of zombies on the way ... They were really overwhelming, and there were also mutated animals...” The bald man described the situation with lingering fear.

As people who experienced it, we certainly know how dangerous it was, but we were only part of the team, not the whole team.

“There were all kinds of mutated animals, even elephants as big as houses, just as exaggerated as the mammoths in the movies, with teeth so long that they could punch a hole in a mountain, let alone a car. Then the soldier drove an armored vehicle to lead us to retreat, but we were hit hard by a mutated bull. I felt like my whole body was falling apart in the car.” Even though it was already in the past, when he recalled it again, fear emerged on the bald man’s face: “The soldier who was driving was really a man. He vomited blood all over his body, but he rushed out of the encirclement of zombies and drove to the lower parking lot of this hotel. Then, with his last breath, he told us that the operating parts were damaged and it couldn’t be driven anymore, and told us to quickly change cars in the parking lot to escape. Then ... then he died...”

Hearing this, I felt respect for the soldier who was still protecting others with his last breath, but at the same time I was puzzled: “Why didn’t you follow what that man said and leave in another car?”

“Hey, it’s not that easy. Don’t you see how many zombies there are around? There are so many abandoned cars and the roads are even more congested. You may not be able to get out by car. If you get stuck in the middle of the road, you’re doomed. You can only drive a large vehicle, such as a truck or a bulldozer, to crush your way out.”

The bald man sighed again, “In fact, we were going to die because there were zombies outside and inside the hotel. We were blocked from all directions. We were really hopeless at the time. It seemed that God would not give us a way to live. Fortunately, Mayor Gregory brought a large group of people here and cleared the monsters in the hotel, allowing us to hide inside. There were more than a dozen soldiers in the hotel, as well as Officer Molly and Patrick. They all came with Mayor Gregory at the time.”

“Wait a minute, Mayor Gregory and Officer Molly? Officer Molly, what’s her name?” When my mother heard the words Officer Molly, her expression froze. The expressions of my two aunts also fluctuated. For my second aunt, the impact of the three words Mayor Gregory was no less than that of Officer Molly.

I suddenly realized that my second aunt’s expression was uncertain and she was obviously thinking about something.

“Molly, Officer Molly, she is a powerful figure here now, do you know her?” The bald man saw the emotional fluctuations on the faces of my mother and the others, and he didn’t know what was going on, and felt a little nervous.

“Where is she?” Mom asked hurriedly.

“No ... not here...”

“Not here?!” This time it was my aunt. The usually steady aunt’s tone was a little impatient.

“Yeah, Officer Molly was out searching for supplies this morning.”

“Do you know when she will be back?” I couldn’t help but ask.

“She ... she always went out in the morning and we didn’t know when she would be back. Sometimes it was a few hours, sometimes it was a day or two.” The bald man looked at us and said carefully.

I never expected to hear about my aunt Molly so soon. It was supposed to be a difficult search for a needle in a haystack, but it came unexpectedly.
