Chapter 132 A Dignified Joining, or Living in a Dog Cage?

6th Floor, Dormitory 666.

As Li Xinran looked at those few short lines of text on her private panel, the color drained from her exquisite face, and she trembled with rage.

"Agree with dignity? Or should I give you a hand?"

The words exuded undisguised contempt and control!

【Private Chat · Li Xinran: Are you threatening me?!】

She gritted her teeth and typed it out, one word at a time.

Su Ze did not reply with any more text.

The next second, a screenshot was thrown directly at her.

Li Xinran clicked it instinctively.

【Survival Mall 2.0】

【Daily Cleaning Section】: Toothbrush, toothpaste, towel, soap, shampoo...

【Personal Care & Beauty Section】: Facial cleanser, skincare products, facial mask, lipstick...

【Clothing Section】: T-shirt, sweatpants, underwear, socks...

【Fresh Food Section】: Fresh vegetables, frozen meat, eggs, milk...

The dazzling array of goods filled almost the entire screen.

Things that were common before the apocalypse, but were now unimaginably luxurious, were displayed neatly right there.

Even... she saw the brand of facial mask she liked to use the most!

Li Xinran's breathing stopped instantly.

She suddenly raised her head and looked around.

In the dilapidated Dormitory, the air was filled with the sour, rotten smell of sweat mixed with food scraps.

A few empty compressed biscuits wrappers were piled in the corner.

As for herself, she hadn't had a proper bath in five days, and could only wipe her body with the water she had saved up at most.

The stark contrast was like a ruthless slap across her proud face.

【Private Chat · Su Ze: I will give you two choices.】

【Private Chat · Su Ze: First, come over with dignity. If you behave well, you can have all these things. You are the dignified eldest daughter of the Li family; I don't need to remind you what kind of life you are living right now, do I?】

【Private Chat · Su Ze: Second, I will come over and tie you up, and lock you directly in a dog cage until you yield.】

Looking at the text on the screen, Li Xinran trembled with rage, her exquisite face flushed bright red.

【Private Chat · Li Xinran: I, Li Xinran, will never be threatened by anyone! Even if it means death!】

【Private Chat · Su Ze: Then suit yourself.】

These three nonchalant words completely ignited Li Xinran's fury.

She didn't understand! This man clearly wanted her.

But why couldn't he just lower his stance and pursue her like Wang Xiong and the others?

【Private Chat · Li Xinran: You clearly want me to join! Why can't you have a better attitude?!】

【Private Chat · Su Ze: No one has the qualifications to make me lower my stance, and you are no exception.】

【Private Chat · Li Xinran: Fine... very fine! Su Ze, you just wait, you will definitely regret this!】

She angrily closed the private chat and, without looking back, went to grab the dagger that had always been on her bedside table.

But she reached for nothing.

Li Xinran was stunned and turned to look.

She saw Wang Xiong clutching her dagger tightly, his face full of terror and pleading.

The other four boys also crowded around, their faces pale.

"Xinran! Don't do anything stupid!"

"What are you trying to do?!"

Li Xinran's face instantly sank, and her voice was as cold as ice: "Give me the knife! What are you trying to do? Mutiny?"

"It's not like that, Xinran!" Wang Xiong was so anxious he was about to cry, and he hid the dagger behind his back.

"We can't give it to you! That guy Su Ze... he... he just private chatted me, saying you might do something harmful to yourself, and told us to keep an eye on you!"

"We absolutely cannot let you get hurt at all!" another boy added.

"That's right! Xinran, don't be impulsive! Did that bastard Su Ze bully you again? Tell us! Even if it costs us our lives, we will definitely get justice for you!"

Listening to them, Li Xinran was so angry she almost laughed out loud.

Just with you few losers?

To go and feed kills to Su Ze?

What made her feel even more humiliated was that Su Ze had actually anticipated exactly what she would do!

He also clearly guessed that as long as he contacted Wang Xiong and the others, they would definitely stop her!

"Get out of the way! You don't need to worry about my business!"

"We won't leave! Unless you promise us that you absolutely won't hurt yourself!"

Just as the two sides were at a stalemate.

"Bang—!" A loud noise rang out.

The wooden door of Dormitory 666, which was already on the verge of collapsing, was kicked to pieces by a massive force!

Amidst the flying wood splinters, a tall, slender figure walked in against the light.

A faint smile hung on Su Ze's face as his gaze swept over the panicked people in the room.

"It seems I've come at just the right time."

He glanced at the dagger in Wang Xiong's hand, knowing clearly that his reminder message had worked.

Although these people like Wang Xiong hated him to the bone, they were willing to do anything for Li Xinran.

"Su... Su Ze!"

When Wang Xiong and the others saw Su Ze, their faces instantly turned pale, and their bodies began to tremble uncontrollably.

That was the most primal fear, stemming from the gap in strength.

But they still mustered all their courage, spread their arms, and blocked firmly in front of Li Xinran.

"What... what do you want to do?! You are not allowed to hurt Xinran!"

"With us here, don't you even think about touching a single hair on her head!"

Li Xinran looked at the few backs shielding her, feeling not the slightest bit moved, only endless annoyance.

She gritted her teeth, stood up from the bed, and stared coldly at the man in the doorway.

"What did you come here for?"

Su Ze ignored the few shivering boys and just looked at Li Xinran, smiling.

"Tell them to leave; I want to talk to you alone."

Li Xinran's heart trembled.

She hesitated.

She knew that in the face of Su Ze's absolute strength, there was no point in Wang Xiong and the others staying here, other than to die.

Moreover, if Su Ze said anything more humiliating next, she didn't want these losers to hear it.

That was her last, and only remaining, dignity.

"You all... get out." Li Xinran took a deep breath and spoke in a hoarse voice.

"But Xinran..."

"Get out! And close the door, no eavesdropping!"

Under Li Xinran's cold reprimand, although Wang Xiong and the others were full of reluctance, they still dared not disobey her order.

They walked out, looking back every few steps, and even considerately pieced the broken door back together to "close" it.

In the Dormitory, only Su Ze and Li Xinran were left.

Su Ze took a step, walked unhurriedly to the bedside, and then, under Li Xinran's incredulous gaze, sat down.

The distance between the two was instantly shortened to less than half a meter.

Su Ze turned his head, looking at this face close at hand, which was full of stubbornness and anger, and the smile on his face deepened.

"Alright, no one is bothering us now."

"I have already made my words very clear in the private chat just now."

"Will you come with me with dignity on your own, or..."

Su Ze's voice paused.

He reached out and gently lifted Li Xinran's chin, forcing her to meet his gaze, his tone carrying a hint of playfulness.

"Do you want to live in a dog cage?"
