NOVEL NEXT WORLD Chapter 389: Voluntary_2
Shaking his head, Wang Tao no longer thought about such matters.
No matter what other people thought, he had no interest in it anyway.
Wang Tao waited for a while longer and saw that the 3v1 fight on the other side finally ended. The three men, adjusting their belts, left contentedly. Meanwhile, the woman remained tied to a pillar in a seductive pose. It appeared she had been mistreated, but from her expression, she seemed to be savoring the experience?
A man walked over, helped the woman untie, and they talked. Then he served her a bowl of the hot soup they'd cooked and handed her some black gunk, the nature of which was unclear, for her to eat.
With one hand holding the soup and the other eating the food, the woman and the man seemed to have a harmonious relationship. It didn't look like she was enslaved.
But the man only unlocked the chain that tied the woman to the pillar and did not remove the iron collar from her neck. The woman didn't mind and ate heartily.
After they finished eating, Wang Tao finally addressed the two women beside him:
"I'll take you back now. Also... I have some issues with male ability, making it impossible for me to have "deep communication" with women. I've always felt inferior about this... so, I hope you can help keep my secret. Just say that I've had "deep communication" with you and it was very long-lasting, okay?"
Wang Tao looked at the two women sincerely. He had been with these two women for a while and couldn't just do nothing, after all.
The two women, upon hearing this, were surprised and suddenly understood.
"No wonder..."
They thought to themselves, they had stripped naked, and this big brother was still indifferent. So this was the issue with him!
"Don't worry, big brother, we will definitely keep your secret. We'll say you're very strong..."
"Exactly!"
Seeing the women agree, Wang Tao nodded smilingly.
"Thank you. Let's go then."
The underground garage was vast, and Wang Tao was some distance away from Shang Qin. Plus, the lighting here was dim, so he thought the people with Shang Qin probably didn't know what had just happened here.
Wang Tao took the two women back to Shang Qin's side.
Seeing that the chains were gone from the two women, Shang Qin's pupils contracted.
"You... are you alright?"
Shang Qin examined Wang Tao and the two women up and down.
"Huh? It was great! What else could have happened?"
Wang Tao said with a smile.
Shang Qin opened his mouth as if he didn't know what to say and just waved the two women over.
"...Come here!"
The two women obediently went over, and Shang Qin, who had procured new iron chains from somewhere, put them back on the women and then said:
"Have something to eat first."
"Okay."
He had two bowls of dark soup served to the two women and asked Wang Tao if he wanted any, explaining that it was made from wild vegetables, expired food, and the like.
Wang Tao shook his head quickly, the smell alone made him want to vomit; drinking it might reduce his life by ten years.
The two women seemed to enjoy the soup quite a bit, finishing quickly and looking a little wistful after.
Shang Qin took them back behind the iron bars, relocking the gate, and then came to Wang Tao, asking with some suspicion:
"You're sure nothing happened?"
Although he hadn't heard anything, it seemed rather implausible...
"Should something have happened?"
Wang Tao countered.
Shang Qin took a step forward, lowering his voice, and said:
"These two women are a bit crazy! Or maybe it's more accurate to say that all the women here are somewhat crazy! They have mental issues! They occasionally go mad and Attack people, especially during conjugal activities, they go especially crazy, almost zombie-like! And a lot of men like that, they think it's exhilarating. These two women are the craziest, so they're our top attraction. But in case a customer coincidentally encounters their Attacks... that's why we chain them up, to prevent any injuries to the customers..."
Crazy? Mental issues?
Wang Tao raised an eyebrow.
This explanation seemed plausible too. Although the two women appeared quite lucid, many people with mental issues don't show it...
```
However, since Wang Tao had said he hadn't encountered any surprises, he naturally had to play it to the end.
"Well, I didn't come across any, but it sure was pleasurable. Seems like I'm pretty lucky!"
"Haha, I'm glad you liked it! Come over next time, and I'll let you experience something else, guaranteed satisfaction!"
Shang Qin said with a laugh.
"I'm looking forward to it! By the way, where did you find these women? Being with them is indeed much more enjoyable than with others..."
Wang Tao started with a lecherous expression.
Hearing this, Shang Qin sighed.
"Alas, speaking of which, they're all pitiful people... You might not know, but they, including us, had all been to the Changhe Base, but we were turned away..."
What Shang Qin spoke of wasn't much different from what the two women had said, but the perspective was different. After being expelled, those two women had nowhere to go and would have died in the tide of zombies without help. Shang Qin and his group, having some abilities, had rescued some women and led them to wander here.
He told Wang Tao that the relationship between them and these women was actually a partnership. The food they risked their lives to scavenge outside wasn't enough to feed everyone, so they had to rely on these women earning some food to barely make ends meet. The women had agreed to this arrangement, even happily...
"I see, you all are pitiful people!"
Wang Tao pretended as if he was hearing it for the first time and exclaimed.
The consistency between Shang Qin's and the two women's stories made them quite credible. But as for what exactly was going on with the two women, Shang Qin claimed he didn't know; they seemed insane, and all they had to do was keep the women locked up, who were there voluntarily.
"Why don't you come back to Changhe Base with us?"
Wang Tao suddenly asked.
Shang Qin immediately shook his head.
"Thank you for your kindness, but I'll repeat what I said before. The base is doomed to fall..."
"Alright."
It seemed Shang Qin and his group truly did not want to go to Changhe Base, so Wang Tao didn't press further.
After getting back to the vehicle, Qu Shilin asked curiously:
"What did they say over there?"
"Shang Qin said he's not clear about it..."
Wang Tao repeated what Shang Qin had told him.
Everyone shook their heads upon hearing this.
What Shang Qin said amounted to nothing; they still didn't know what was going on with these women.
"Forget it, let's not worry about this. If they want to stay here, let them be. Let's rest up well. Three outsiders just came through another entrance, and they didn't hear any sign of the Giant Eagle. It could be that it's not around, or perhaps it didn't notice the other exit... Anyway, this is our chance; let's see if we have an opportunity to leave tomorrow."
"Okay!"
The group got into the vehicle, sitting in their seats to rest and gather strength.
Wang Tao glanced over at Shang Qin's group; they had already dismantled their cauldron, but the fire was still burning, and they were all lying next to it, sleeping.
The night passed without incident.
The next morning, the underground garage was still dark.
Wang Tao and his group woke up, ate something simple, and then drove the car over to Shang Qin's area.
"We're going out to see if the old eagle has left, if it has, we'll head back too,"
Wang Tao told Shang Qin.
"Sure, I'll open the gate for you. Be careful, and come back again when you have the chance! Our top girl here is waiting for you! They both said you were great!"
Shang Qin's face showed a smile any man would understand.
"Alright!"
Wang Tao nodded and then, led by Shang Qin, drove out of their makeshift gate.
There was still some distance to the exit, so Wang Tao didn't rush the vehicle out. Instead, he led a few people out quietly first to scout, even deliberately making a bit of noise. But, they found no sign of the Giant Eagle, and Xiang Hongbin didn't see anything in the sky either.
"Let's go!"
Wang Tao immediately signaled, and the vehicle drove out of the garage.
