Chapter 123 You be our king.

Liu Ruyan was wearing long - sleeved clothes and long trousers, and what's more, they were double - layered.

Even staying in this underground level, she still felt a bit cold.

However, these women were all wearing short - sleeved shirts and shorts, or dresses.

The dresses varied in length, but none of them were warm.

Dressed like this, weren't they really cold?

Just as Liu Ruyan was thinking about this question, this group of women had rushed to the side of the man in yellow on the ground.

The group of women surrounded the man in yellow, their faces all looking very tense.

After they confirmed that the man in yellow was dead, they all stood up and glared at Liu Ruyan and Zhang Yuan.

"Did you kill the King?"

Liu Ruyan, "..."

Liu Ruyan didn't want to pay them any attention and turned to leave.

But these women were persistent and quickly ran in front of Liu Ruyan, blocking her way.

"Don't leave! You haven't said yet, did you kill the King?"

Liu Ruyan raised her eyebrows. "So what if I did?"

"Why did you kill our King?"

"Why did you kill him?"

"What are we going to do now that you've killed him?"

Liu Ruyan's gaze swept over them. "You have hands and feet. What do you mean, what are you going to do?"

"You killed the King. Who will be responsible for our food and clothing from now on?"

Liu Ruyan, "..."

Liu Ruyan felt that she had never been this speechless in her life.

After slightly collecting her thoughts, Liu Ruyan then asked, "What's your relationship with him?"

"We're all his concubines!"

"..."

Liu Ruyan tightened her grip on the gun in her hand, barely suppressing the urge to shoot them dead. "The Qing Dynasty has been gone for ages. Concubines, really?"

After being mocked like this by Liu Ruyan, an embarrassed expression flashed across the faces of the group of women.

After a moment of silence, a woman in a red camisole dress took a step forward.

"You have a gun, but we don't.

It's so hard to survive in this world now.

We know this is quite childish and stupid - looking, but we have no choice.

Women are naturally weaker than men. We can't compete with other survivors. Without food and drink, how can we survive?

As long as we attach ourselves to him, be his concubines, and make him happy, we'll have food and drink, and our lives will be very stable.

We just want to survive. What's wrong with that?"

Liu Ruyan nodded. "Everyone has their own way of living. You choose to live like this, and I don't have any objections, nor do I say you're wrong."

As early as in her previous life, Liu Ruyan had seen plenty of such things.

The weak seek the protection of the strong.

A group of women attaching themselves to a man, competing for his favor, being scheming against each other. The drama was as exciting as a palace intrigue.

In the apocalypse, everyone wants to survive, and they'll do anything to do so.

In order to survive, Liu Ruyan had eaten grass roots, tree bark, and even dirt.

Even when she thought about it now, Liu Ruyan just felt that life was really tough back then, but she didn't think it was embarrassing.

These women couldn't endure hardships and wanted to rely on a man to live. She didn't think they were embarrassing either.

Everyone chooses their own path. As long as they follow their hearts, it's fine.

The woman in white looked at the man's body on the ground and continued to say to Liu Ruyan, "But now that you've killed him, we have no one to rely on. How are we supposed to live from now on?"

Liu Ruyan looked at her quietly. "So what do you mean?"

"You killed him, so you'll be responsible for our lives from now on!"

As soon as the woman in white finished speaking, the others all echoed.

If Liu Ruyan had just felt speechless before, now she felt a bit more ridiculous.

She really couldn't figure out why these people could be so self - righteous and make such a request to her.

Did she just seem easy to bully?

Liu Ruyan gave a cold look at the dozen or so people in front of her. "Although this is the underground city and it's quite dark around, it's not dark yet, and you're not asleep. So stop daydreaming.

I killed him, that's between him and me.

You attached yourselves to him, that's your business.

Just because I killed him, I should be responsible for your future lives. This kind of hooligan logic, I only want to hear it this once."

"You - "

Before the woman in white could continue, Liu Ruyan raised the gun in her hand and pointed it at the woman's head. "If you keep babbling and pestering me, I won't mind killing you too."

Hearing Liu Ruyan's cold voice and meeting her eyes that had no warmth at all, the woman in white shivered and stepped back repeatedly, not daring to say another word.

Liu Ruyan didn't bother to look at her and just walked away.

Zhang Yuan, who was beside her, followed closely. But they had only taken two steps when they were surrounded by a group of women.

"Good - looking guy! Don't leave!"

"Can we follow you from now on? You be our King!"

"Yeah, yeah! You can tell he's capable at first glance. He must be the most powerful King in the world."

"We're all very obedient and can do a lot of things. You can do whatever you want with us!"

Liu Ruyan, who had just walked two steps away, stopped and turned to look at the group of women surrounding Zhang Yuan. Her eyes became even colder.

Liu Ruyan raised her gun and fired a shot at the ceiling.

She didn't hear the gunshot and was taken aback for a moment.

Miscalculation!

This gun was silenced!

Fortunately, the group of women's attention was all on Zhang Yuan and they didn't see this scene.

The only one who saw this was Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan looked at Liu Ruyan, his eyes gentle and tinged with a smile.

The next moment, Zhang Yuan raised his gun and pointed it at the people in front of him.

"Don't think I won't shoot women. If you don't get out of the way, I'll send you to be with your King."

"Han... handsome guy!"

The woman in white turned pale, and her voice was a bit trembling, but she still didn't want to give up.

"I... we're just a group of helpless women. We just want to follow you.

If you don't like us and don't want us to be your concubines, we can be your maids!

You're so capable, you must have a lot of food. Just give us a little bit of food so that we can survive. Please!"

As the woman in white spoke, she knelt down.

The others obviously took her as their leader.

Seeing her kneel, they also knelt down one after another.

Zhang Yuan frowned tightly, and his gaze at them became more and more disgusted.

Before Zhang Yuan could speak again, another group of people rushed in.

These people were ragged, unkempt, and they were the ones who had been imprisoned before.

Most of them were women, and there were also some young children.

They charged at the women kneeling on the ground, attacking them with scratching and hitting, their actions extremely fierce and showing no mercy.

The women in white were caught off - guard and let out miserable screams.

They wanted to fight back, but the numbers were unequal, and they simply had no power to fight back.
