Frustrated Mia

[Author: I am back and i will not abandon this now]

Hummer was somewhat angry, but due to Ryan's submachine gun and bulletproof vest, he did not voice any threats. 

"Sorry, we don't need to go to your gathering place." 

Ryan ignored him and turned to Mia, "What do you think?" 

Among the three, the other two were easier to deal with. Only this busty police officer could pose a bit of a challenge for Ryan. 

Although Jessica and Hummer were furious at Ryan's disregard, they were not fools. They did not step forward to argue with him but instead looked at Mia, as she was the central figure of their group. 

Mia was Ryan's captain, and Jessica had always admired her, so naturally, she would follow her lead.

"I want to know, what if we refuse?" Mia took a deep breath. 

"I'm sorry, but you should understand that this is the apocalypse—you don't have the option to refuse. I'm not here to negotiate; I'm simply informing you," Ryan said coldly. 

He was not only drawn to Mia and Jessica's beauty but also recognized their impressive skills and bravery in facing zombies. He needed someone capable of guarding his base when he was away. 

"Alright, I agree." 

"Captain~" 

"Sister Mia~" Jessica and Hummer both looked at her in shock. 

A glint flashed in Ryan's eyes—he knew that this seemingly righteous and strong-willed police officer wouldn't submit so easily. She was surely planning something. 

From the beginning, Mia had suspected Ryan's bad intentions, and now she was even more certain. However, they only had a small revolver, which was no match for Ryan's semi-automatic submachine gun, let alone the armored vehicle behind him. 

Still, she would never abandon her teammates, nor would she submit to a man. Mia knew that many ruthless and cruel people would emerge in this apocalypse, but she hadn't expected Ryan to be so blatant about it. His confidence put her on high alert. 

"Alright… get in the car,"

Ryan said, patting the armored vehicle. He had no idea what Mia was planning, but he wasn't worried about a fight breaking out.

He was confident that no one could beat him in a one-on-one battle. Ryan's current physical abilities were at least three times that of an average adult, not to mention his advanced combat skills. 

Under the worried gazes of her teammates, Mia handed the revolver to Hummer. Seeing that Ryan did not object, she slowly moved closer. 

In the blink of an eye, Mia dashed forward with agility, charging at Ryan.

Beside them, Hummer and Jessica both became visibly worried. Even though Mia's combat skills were among the best in the A City Police Department, Ryan had a gun in his hands.

However, Ryan had no intention of using his firearm against Mia. Holding the submachine gun in his right hand, he clenched his left fist and threw a punch at her. At the same time, his right leg lashed out in a kick toward Mia!

He could actually punch and kick simultaneously, maintaining perfect balance! With just one strike, Mia was forced back, her hands and feet numb from the impact. Ryan's strength was overwhelming—she was nearly knocked to the ground.

Sensing the danger, Hummer raised his revolver and aimed at Ryan.

But before he could act, Ryan moved even faster—he pulled back the bolt of his submachine gun, the dark muzzle now aimed directly at both of them. Hummer swallowed hard and instinctively took a few steps back.

This was no joke—at such close range, all Ryan had to do was pull the trigger, and none of them would be able to escape.

Even if Hummer managed to land a shot, Ryan's bulletproof vest would absorb the impact, leaving only Hummer and the others dead while Ryan might be seriously injured at worst.

Mia also crouched down, covering her head. Though she had a strong sense of justice and was willing to sacrifice herself for her comrades, she wasn't someone who would throw her life away meaninglessly.

"I tried talking to you nicely, but you just wouldn't listen. Did you really want me to use force?" Ryan shook his head, looking at Mia's unwilling expression with amusement in his eyes.

"But… I guess I'm just too softhearted. I'll give you one more chance—take this and come with me, and I might consider letting him go," Ryan said looking towards Hummer…

Ten minutes later, the armored vehicle was cruising down the road.

In the front cabin, Ryan turned on the air conditioning and took a bottle of drink from the side, handing it to Jessica, who was sitting next to him.

The petite policewoman was visibly afraid of Ryan. After hesitating for a moment, she finally accepted the drink, took a few sips, and then passed it to Mia beside her.

As for Mia, her arms were locked behind her back, wrists secured in handcuffs like a criminal. Seeing her in a police uniform like this gave Ryan a certain sense of pleasure—his own twisted satisfaction in "training" the busty police officer.

Just minutes ago, with no other choice, Mia had willingly placed her hands behind her back, allowing Jessica to cuff her before getting into the police vehicle—leaving Hummer outside, alone.

Mia could clearly see the cold indifference in Ryan's eyes. She fully understood how terrifying this man was—his combat skills were exceptional, his personality ruthless. Though he had an interest in her, it didn't mean he would let her act freely. Instead, he intended to treat her like a slave.

Meanwhile, Jessica, who had never been one to make independent decisions, was too scared to do anything but follow Mia into the vehicle, leaving Hummer behind, seething with anger and helplessness.

Ryan didn't care about any of this. To him, Hummer posed no threat, even with a gun in his hands. Alone in this apocalypse, his chances of survival were slim.

Mia didn't resist and remained silent throughout the journey. As the armored vehicle plowed through the abandoned cars on the road, they eventually arrived at the back entrance of the hospital.
