The body disappeared

The day went on as usual, but before noon, someone came running over.

It was Janice.

"You're here so early today?" Eugene opened the iron gate for her when he saw it was just her.

"Eugene, I have news for you," Janice said without asking for food or anything else.

"Oh? What news?" Eugene asked casually.

Janice replied, "Your ex-wife found my husband. She pulled him into some 'Defeat Eugene Alliance' whose aim is to get back at you!"

Eugene was surprised, "Claire escaped?"

He had received news that Claire was tied up by her family for customers, and it hadn't been long. How did she manage to escape so quickly?

Janice nodded, "She seduced a... customer. Not only did she free herself, but she also killed her parents and her brother. Someone saw Dawn dead on the stairs with a vegetable knife stuck in her forehead."

Janice blushed when mentioning the customer, knowing she wasn't much different from Claire, both selling their bodies.

Eugene couldn't help but laugh; Claire was quite resourceful to turn things around in such circumstances.

As for the 'Defeat Eugene Alliance,' Eugene didn't care at all.

A motley crew daring to come after him? He could easily deal with them or store them in another dimension, saving a lot of bullets.

"What's your husband's attitude?" Eugene was curious about this part. If the big-mouthed guy and Claire had hooked up, Janice's revelations would be interesting.

Janice bit her lip, "It was my husband who asked me to come tell you."

Eugene was surprised, "Your husband asked you to come?"

"Yes, yes!" Janice nodded, blushing.

Initially, her husband was furious, wanting to turn Eugene into minced meat. But after a few hungry days, his feelings changed.

With death looming, what's the point of holding grudges?

So, her husband even suggested she come to Eugene.

Could she say this out loud?

Too embarrassing!

"My husband believes Claire can't beat you, so he asked me to remind you. It's a way to please you," Janice said.

Eugene nodded, his hands playing with Janice's clothes but feeling somewhat distracted.

Janice was on par with Claire in terms of looks, but it was only because of her husband's involvement that Eugene had any interest. Once her husband was okay with it, Eugene lost interest.

"Energy is limited," he thought. Without that psychological thrill, he'd rather spend time with Cathy, after all, she was the real deal.

That should be the last time then.

A couple of hours later, Eugene escorted Janice out.

He told her to come to him if she had news, exchanging food and water. As for selling herself, they would stop there.

Janice felt puzzled. Wasn't Eugene interested in her before? Why did he suddenly lose interest?

But if he didn't want to trade anymore, could she force him?

Reluctantly, she left.

Due to a power outage, the garage was pitch black day and night. Eugene didn't wait until night; he took the leopard out at noon. After half an hour, the leopard got cold and couldn't bear it anymore, so they returned to the villa.

Just before entering the passage, Eugene froze, stopping in his tracks.

He stepped back, shining a flashlight around.

Two bodies were missing!

Eugene was certain he had killed all these people himself, so he knew how many bodies there should be. Two were missing.

Bodies don't grow legs and run away. Moreover, the toxins in the hail could only cause death, not turn people into zombies. So, those two bodies couldn't have turned into zombies and escaped.

There was only one possibility.

Someone had moved them.

Why?

Food!

In his previous life, Eugene had been victimized by his ex-wife's family, dissected alive to serve as food. So, he was extremely sensitive to this.

Calculating the time, it was already the 12th day of the apocalypse. Many people had run out of food, so resorting to eating corpses wasn't surprising.

After all, when starving, what wouldn't one dare or wouldn't one eat?

Eugene sighed; the scene of cannibalism was playing out again.

In the face of survival, everyone had set aside dignity and morality, reverting to their primal instincts.

Shaking his head, Eugene returned to the villa with his leopard.

At night, in Devon's house.

Today, more than twenty people had gathered here.

Devon sat in a chair, smoking his last cigarette, having already smoked it to the butt. He couldn't bear to discard it.

Actually, a pack of cigarettes lasting till now was already a great saving.

"Let's move," he finally flicked away the cigarette butt.

"Yes!" everyone responded in unison.

Devon was smart and had status, but most importantly, he had four skilled bodyguards. Everyone trusted him a lot, forming a strong cohesion, something Lindsay and others didn't have.

They took their tools and even Devon's mistress carried her child.

Because today's target was Eugene's villa.

With a villa, who needs this house?

Soon, they arrived at the villa.

But they didn't enter through the passage.

"Break it," Devon said coldly.

Instantly, two men approached carrying sledgehammers.

In the past few days, besides gathering people, Devon had made an important preparation: acquiring these sledgehammers. Conveniently, someone in the community was renovating and lent him two sledgehammers.

Knowing Eugene controlled the fire sprinkler system in the passage, Devon, being smart, wouldn't make such a low-level mistake of attacking through the passage.

Without a door, just smash through the wall, right?

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The two men started smashing the wall.

"Use force, force!" Someone cheered from the side, making many burst into laughter.

The wall-smashing men soon got tired and said, "Switch!"

They were indeed exhausted.

So, the next team continued.

Sledgehammers were perfect for smashing walls. They quickly made a hole big enough for a person to crawl through. Five waves of wall smashers had come and gone.

Kenyon, one of Devon's bodyguards, laughed, "Eugene should've heard us by now. But since we're not going through the passage, he can only watch."

Fletcher, another bodyguard, added, "That's why Devon is our boss. Breaking norms—why do we have to enter through the door? Can't we smash the wall? Haha, change the mindset, and everything becomes possible."

Devon just smiled modestly, but deep down, he was very pleased. He had already estimated the potential yield of this raid.

Clang!

As the wall smashers were about to give their final blow to break the wall completely, the force shook the man's hands so violently that they cracked.

Every bone in his hands trembled as if his guts were about to spill out.

What happened?

"Why was there that sound?"

"It sounded like metal hitting."

"Could there be something like a refrigerator behind the wall?"

Everyone quickly shone their flashlights over, revealing something behind the wall gleaming with a metallic sheen.

Is this a steel plate? "Someone knocked, and there was a dull sound. It was definitely metal, but I couldn't be sure whether it was a steel plate.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

This is too unfortunate.

"Change the position." They changed positions and continued smashing for more than half an hour. Finally, they made another hole that could allow one person to pass through, but after completely destroying the wall, they were disappointed again. .

Metal wall again!

Is there a metal wall behind the entire wall?

Unwilling to give up, they simply pulled down the entire wall.

Anyway, two big holes have been made, and it won't take much more effort to pull down the entire wall.

Later, when the flashlight shone over, a dazzling metallic light was reflected, making their eyes hurt.

What a disappointing discovery is this?
