Chapter 63: Chapter 54: The Couple at the Gathering Place_1
A man put down his binoculars from the window, a spark of excitement flickering in his eyes.
He had just seen a heavy lorry pass by on the road not far away. He was initially exhilarated, but the excitement cooled gradually as the lorry disappeared among the tall buildings.

Standing by the window for a while, the man cast a glance at the chaotic layout of the bedding area, exhaling softly and tiptoeing to keep clear of bumping into anything piled up by the sides of the beds.
Once back at his own bed, he looked at his wife wrapped entirely in grotesque, coarse, black clothes and felt a pang of heartache.
Only he knew how delicately soft her body was… An instant of reminiscence crossed his eyes as he sat down, held her in his arms, and gazed lovingly at her, just like always before squinting to survey the silent bedding area.
“Does anyone want a loaf of bread?”
Suddenly, a man holding a loaf of bread stood in front of the bedding compound, shouting and breaking the silence.
Narrowing his eyes, he watched a woman near his bed stand up from her husband’s embrace, walk up to the front of the bedding area to receive the bread, and then follow the man away.
His gaze left them as they moved away, but he was surprised to see the man with the bread halt at the exit.
The man handing out bread revealed a cunning expression, reaching out to touch the woman as he spoke.
“Not here, my husband is here, let’s go upstairs.”
The woman struggled and refused, her face revealing unwillingness.
Surprised exclamations came from all around them.
“……”
The man holding his wife wrapped in black clothes watched the scene play out in front of him, his face growing pale.
If he were a single man, if his relationship with his wife were not so strong, if he didn’t love her as much as he did now…
If she had not been a virgin when they married, having only ever shared a bed with him…
If he hadn’t loved his wife so intensely after their marriage, forbidding her from leaving the house and doing anything, keeping her at home to read, exercise, and do household chores…
If his wife wasn’t as lovely and adorable as a kitten, her delicate skin and body obscured under her black clothes …
If it weren’t for those factors, perhaps he could bear to let his wife exchange services for food, like those other men. But there are no “ifs” and he just can’t bring himself to do it.
The mere thought of his cherished wife being violated filled him with vehement repulsion and resistance.
No one knew just how much the man loved his wife, never allowing her to undertake any heavy work, unwilling for her to suffer slight.
The phrase “apple of my eye” was an accurate depiction of how he treated his wife, holding her in his hand and heart, just like a cherished treasure.
And his wife was obedient and understanding, her body and skin were excellent, domestically lovely, diminutive yet darling, evoking affection.
Such a couple should have continued their harmonious and beautiful life till the end, until the apocalypse suddenly arrived.
Before this group of survivors started gathering, he had wisely had his wife put on ugly clothes and a disheveled hairstyle, covering her delicate skin completely and even making her face ugly.
Otherwise, he knew if his wife arrived here, she would be like a piece of meat dropped into a pack of wolves, devoured completely.
Not only the man but also his wife, wrapped in his arms, watched the crude, barbaric scene unfolding in front of them with panic in her eyes.
“Don’t worry, honey, I won’t let you do such a thing just for a bit of food,” he said, hugging his scared wife tighter, whispering softly into her ear.
But after giving the assurance, a sense of bewilderment lingered in his heart, looking around at their surroundings.
Could his docile and delicate wife really resist?
Especially…
When two powerful mutants were present here!
“Hmm, husband, if we really run out of food, you find someone gentle for me. I don’t want to end up like them,” she said.
The woman couldn’t help but speak softly, her voice carrying a hint of pleading and trembling.
She also knew that it was impossible to keep her chastity intact in this environment, but the thought of being entertained by men among all these gazes…
And by more than one man…
she shook slightly in fear.
“Don’t worry, I definitely won’t, I definitely won’t, I love you so much, I definitely won’t…”
The husband’s voice quavered as he spoke into his wife’s ear, his heart was filled with regret.
Perhaps he shouldn’t have left their ‘dangerous’ home in the first place, with his wife, for an organization founded by two powerful individuals with special abilities to ensure their safety.
Now, it seemed clear that they had left a sanctuary and ended up in a real den of wolves!
And his wife, was the little lamb.
The man felt lost, he could tell, based on the atmosphere and the amount of food supply he had, he and his wife could hold out for a maximum of three days.
If nothing changes in these three days, if there’s no turn of events that could free his wife from this hell, he will lose control over what might happen.
Could he truly protect his cherished wife from this degradation?
The man felt lost, he could only hope that such a day would never come.
The wife in his arms was shaking slightly too, feeling the palpable despair from the surrounding scene.
They had no way out of this situation.
“Wow, everyone’s having quite a fun time, right here right now, impressive.”
During the couple’s moment of despair, they suddenly heard a booming voice, they quickly turned their heads to see a short man with short hair walking out of one of the two houses in the front row, surrounded by several women, and smiling at the scene.
Seeing this short man, the husband’s eyes flashed with fear, he hugged his wife tighter and shrank back, saying nothing.
“Monkey Brother, aren’t we just following your lead? We’re not as strong as you, we’re just trying to imitate you, pursuing the steps of the powerful!”
A man turned his head and saw the short man, he quickly flattered him loudly. The short man burst into laughter.
“Good, well done, learn from your brother well.”
The short man spoke with a pleasant smile, he was surrounded by several young men carrying weapons, trying to butter him up. It made him very cheerful, causing him to roughly grab the women in his arms.
The two women winced in pain from his grabbing, yet they dared not make a sound. The short man laughed heartily as he knocked on the door of another room, “Big Brother, it’s dinner time.”
Walking behind the short man were two other women, albeit with less attractive appearances, a more mature woman and a younger woman, both wore calmer expressions than the two women in his arms.
Click…
The door was pulled open, a muscular bald man walked out with a woman in a silver-grey skit and high heels.
If Li Ming was here, he would definitely recognize these two figures, especially the woman with the shapely legs, wasn’t she his training manager from the company! And this bald man, he used to provide security for the company he was applying to!
“Monkey, no offense, but since you’ve made your sister-in-law and cousin yours, don’t neglect them, why are you always holding other women?”
The moment the bald man walked out with the well-dressed female manager, the room quieted down instantly. The man known as Monkey glanced at the naked women in the bald man’s room, his lips twitched.
“No way, Big Brother, I spend more time with them in the room, ask my sister-in-law and cousin if you don’t believe me.”
Seeing the man stepping out made the room silent, a hint of gloom flashed in the Monkey’s eyes, but he still smiled and responded. When he mentioned his sister-in-law and cousin, his face showed a hint of perverse satisfaction.
“Whether it’s true or not, you decide, there’s no need to report to me.”
The bald man patted Monkey on the shoulder, then casually shut the door, covering the group of naked women inside, he waved his hand and chuckled, “Let’s eat.”
