Chang Wei didn't take the matter to heart. He simply examined the narrow space closely. It was about fifty or sixty square meters, and there were only a handful of people inside. Most of them were women, while there was only one burly man and three young men beside Chang Wei.
Looking around, there was almost nowhere to hide. The ground was covered with cold cement, and some food and water were piled up haphazardly in one corner. On the other side was some filth, which was obviously their makeshift toilet. The stench was so strong that it made Chang Wei's nose feel like it was going to vomit.
Even in such circumstances, they still managed to build makeshift beds using cardboard boxes and clothing.
At this moment, a woman of about twenty years old was naked, clutching her clothes tightly to cover herself, while the other women remained expressionless, as if they were already used to it.
The burly man glared fiercely at Chang Wei and the others, his pants half-dangling, clearly indicating that he had just been doing something.
He brandished the iron rod in his hand, causing the air to whistle, which frightened the three youths, turning their faces pale and then red.
"Mingye, you guys! I sent you to find food, and you came back empty-handed, and with a stranger in tow! Are you looking for death?!"
He roared angrily.
However, Chang Wei seemed not to hear him at all, and said indifferently, "Is this all the people here?"
His voice was cold and calm, as if everything before him had nothing to do with him.
Upon seeing this, the three youths tensed up. They knew Chang Wei's strength and wanted to explain, but were interrupted by the burly man's angry roar.
"Who the hell are you to talk to me like that!"
The man angrily pulled up his trousers, stepped forward, and raised the iron bar to smash it down on Chang Wei.

"careful!"
The three youths exclaimed in surprise, but they forgot Chang Wei's identity—an evolved being.
Chang Wei sneered, as if the iron rod that was thrown at him was just a toy. He reached out and easily grabbed the iron rod in his hand.
Seeing the man's astonished expression, he said calmly:
Is this all you've got?
A chill flashed in Chang Wei's eyes, cold and profound.
"Creak, creak, creak"
The sound echoed in the quiet air, and the iron rod gradually bent into an arc under the man's terrified gaze.
The women present stared at Chang Wei in astonishment, with one woman in particular drawing attention.
Her clothes were disheveled, and her face was covered in dirt, yet beneath her filthy appearance, a strange light shone.
"This...how is this possible?"
The man's voice trembled as he stared at Chang Wei in disbelief.
Although the iron rod was hollow, it was at least two centimeters thick, yet it was easily bent by the opponent using only the strength of his palm.
He couldn't imagine how terrifying a person would need to do that.
Chang Wei kicked out with the force of a thunderbolt, sending the man flying to the corner of the wall, where he was completely immobilized, as if glued to the wall.
"puff--"
The man spat out a mouthful of blood; countless bones in his body were broken.
He looked up at Chang Wei in horror, his eyes filled with fear and despair.
Chang Wei approached again, looking down at the man with a cold and firm voice: "I'll ask you one more time, are you the only people here?"
The man nodded hurriedly and replied in a trembling voice, "Yes...yes, there are only a few of us here."
"
He was afraid that if he hesitated even slightly, he would provoke Chang Wei's even fiercer rage.
Seeing this, the other boys also stepped forward to help the man who had fallen to the ground.
However, Chang Wei walked towards them step by step, scrutinizing these ragged and haggard men and women with piercing eyes.
While they weren't exactly beautiful, their features were fairly regular; however, without the enhancement of makeup, they looked somewhat disheveled.
Their eyes were filled with fear and helplessness, which made Chang Wei sigh inwardly.
However, he did not find the person he was looking for.
So Chang Wei decided to leave this place, but before he left, he needed to resolve the problems here.
He randomly picked a woman and ordered her to tell him about the situation here.
Although Chang Wei was not a kind person, he would always do his best to help the weak.
The disheveled woman stepped forward. Although she smelled unpleasant, her tone was unusually clear and organized.
She told Chang Wei about the situation in detail... Her voice was as soft and sweet as cotton candy, and it made Chang Wei's bones go weak as soon as she spoke.
He looked over in surprise and saw a woman whose face was ordinary, but whose figure was superb. Perhaps it was hidden by her loose clothes that made it impossible for people to perceive her true charm.
After listening to the woman's account, Chang Wei's eyes gradually turned cold, and he turned his gaze to the man in the corner as if he were looking at a dead man.
From the woman, Chang Wei learned that many people used to live here.
However, after the man moved in, he used various means to occupy the place, forcing others to go out to find supplies, and most of them died in the mouths of zombies.
The man then revealed his true nature, taking advantage of the remaining women and even leaving three little boys behind to find food for him.
He monopolized most of the food, leaving only a very small portion for the others.
This kind of scum is truly outrageous.
They considered escaping, but it was far more dangerous outside.
Staying here might offer a glimmer of hope, but once we leave, we're certain to die.
Therefore, they could only endure it in silence.
Seeing that the man only resorted to despicable means but dared not confront the zombies head-on, Chang Wei's killing intent grew even stronger.
"Please, don't kill me! I'll never do it again!"
Sensing the murderous intent emanating from Chang Wei, the man scrambled forward in terror, trying to grab Chang Wei's leg.
However, Chang Wei coldly swung his knife and beheaded the man.
Fresh blood gushed out like a fountain.
"Alright, he's dead now, I should go too."
"
Chang Wei glanced at the women who were showing signs of vengeful pleasure, then turned to leave.
"Little brother, please stay!"
Suddenly, someone called out to Chang Wei.
However, Chang Wei did not stop. He knew that these people must hope that he could rescue them.
But Chang Wei knew he didn't have that kind of strength, so he had no choice but to steel himself and continue forward.
Leaving early is the best policy.
.
Are you looking for someone?
Before he could finish speaking, Chang Wei stopped abruptly. He turned around sharply, his gaze fixed on the disheveled woman with a face covered in dirt.
.
The woman was somewhat flustered by Chang Wei's sharp gaze, but she knew that she had to seize this only chance of survival, otherwise she would probably lose her life.
As an idol, she didn't want to die here quietly.
.
“You’re right, I am indeed looking for a couple, around thirty years old, with a two-year-old girl. Have you seen them?”
Chang Wei stared intently into the woman's starry eyes, which shone with anticipation.
.
"I...I don't know."
The woman's voice trembled slightly, but seeing that Chang Wei was about to turn and leave, she hurriedly added, "But I heard that a large group of people left the city a few days ago, saying they were going to the west."
"Perhaps they are among them."
A glint flashed in Chang Wei's eyes; this was indeed a valuable clue.
He decided to search to the west, hoping to find traces of the couple.
"How should I address you?"
Chang Wei asked with a hint of curiosity.
He realized that this woman was no ordinary person. Her voice was like heavenly music, and her figure was graceful. Apart from her slightly ordinary face, she was almost perfect. She even made him feel a little moved.
"053 My name is Hoshino Ai, and I'm an idol."
The woman answered softly, and her voice shocked Chang Wei and the others. They had spent many days with Hoshino Ai, but had never heard her mention her profession.
