In the apocalypse, the three scarcest things are food, water, and women.
As basic necessities for survival, food and water are extremely important. In this world overrun by monsters, humans can no longer produce, and existing food will rot and spoil over time. Moreover, due to the dead, large areas of the Earth's water sources have been polluted, making these two things even more precious and scarce.
For a pack of low-quality instant noodles or a bottle of stale mineral water, one might have to trade their life!
And just as precious and scarce as these two things are women.
Women are naturally the weaker sex, lacking strength. After the outbreak of the dead, 80% of the casualties were women, leading to a severe imbalance in the gender ratio among survivors.
In the apocalypse, women have only two paths: one is to struggle to survive like the men, but this path is extremely difficult, and only the truly strong-willed women can manage it. The other path is to become dependent on men, using their bodies to provide for and satisfy them, in exchange for some pitiful survival resources.
After all, people in the apocalypse are under immense pressure, living on the edge of life and death every day. A day or two is manageable, but over time, too much negative emotion accumulates, and if not released, people will break.
How to release it? In this precarious apocalypse, there are no entertainment options; the only viable option is the most primitive form of male-female intimacy!
Thus, women have become a scarce commodity in the apocalypse, a commodity that only the strongest men can possess.
Of course, if you are strong enough, you can have many women, without any laws or moral condemnation. But if you lack strength, don't even think about it; even the women you once discarded like chaff are no longer within your reach!
The suited man is a self-assured person. As one of the first to discover the secret of the energy beads, he seized the opportunity to become a powerful figure, living a comfortable life even in this apocalypse.
Since he has become a strong man, he naturally needs things that suit his status. A group of subordinates is essential, even if these bald men are as weak as ants in his eyes. With some training and absorbing energy beads, they still have some potential.
He doesn't expect them to be very strong; they just need to fill the scene.
Next is women, beautiful and noble women who are worthy of a strong man like him. This is a bit of a headache for the suited man. Finding women is easy, but finding good women who are worthy of him is difficult. Although women are scarce in the apocalypse, they are not worth much. If he wanted, he could have as many former international stars and beauty queens as he desired, but the suited man disdains those women.
Malnourished, sallow, and emaciated, even if they were once beautiful, they have been ruined. Moreover, with the severe shortage of water, it's unclear how long it has been since they last washed, making them dirty and smelly, disgusting to look at!
Furthermore, what the suited man cannot accept is that, for survival, these women have completely abandoned their so-called chastity, being ridden and pressed by thousands of men—a common occurrence. Would he dare to take such women!!!
Thus, the suited man has always been troubled. How could such an excellent man like him not find a woman worthy of him? How unfair is the heavens!
However, this thought was just shattered.
Because the suited man saw women, a group of women, a group of women who could barely be considered worthy of him! They were slowly walking towards them from the opposite side of the street.
Youthful and lively, with beautiful and lovely faces, and voluptuous figures (well, largely developed by a certain bastard…). With a combat knife at their waists and wearing identical tight uniforms, they were provocative and tempting…
Such a group of stunning beauties, not just in the apocalypse, but even in the former peaceful world, were rarely seen!
But what made the suited man's heart race the most was the long-haired girl walking at the front. Whether in looks or figure, she surpassed the other girls behind her!
Moreover, what was even more important was her aura, a noble, queen-like aura that would drive any man wild with desire!
Stunned, yes, the suited man was stunned. He could hardly believe that in such a filthy world, there could still be such an excellent woman!
He decided, he must have her, have all of them!!!
His eyes blazing with intense desire, the suited man roared in his heart.
Though he was excited, the suited man remained composed, at least on the surface, not doing anything embarrassing. But the group of bald men around him couldn't help themselves.
They were a bunch of rough men, always following their instincts. They couldn't remember the last time they had seen a woman, let alone such stunning beauties!
Their eyes wide like copper bells, their thick mouths gaping open, drool poured out uncontrollably…
Well, how should I put it? In short, the scene was quite spectacular…
"Ah, what are these guy doing? So disgusting!"
"Yeah, yeah, these bald uncles are so ugly, and they're drooling too!"
"Hmph! What are you looking at? Haven't you seen a beautiful girl before? Keep staring, and I'll gouge your eyes out!"
"Ah, Tenth Sword, don't get too close, their drool is splashing over!"
…
The swordswomen, preparing to return home after their hunt, passed by this group of people. The intense, lustful gazes made them feel extremely uncomfortable, especially the sight of those bald men drooling, which filled the girls with disgust.
Well, although there was a man in a suit who seemed a bit better, being with such a disgusting group probably meant he wasn't much cleaner either.
"It's getting late, let's hurry back."
Furrowing her delicate brows, Busujima Saeko also felt somewhat uneasy. However, these were all survivors, and as long as they didn't cause trouble, she wasn't the type of woman to get upset over a few glances.
"Yes, Lady Saeko."
Pouting, a few of the more spirited swordswomen were a bit displeased. They belonged to their master, the big bad guy, and how dare these disgusting men look at them like that? If it weren't for Saeko's orders, they would have had the urge to teach these rude and repulsive men a lesson.
Leading the swordswomen, Saeko walked calmly past the drooling men. As they passed the abandoned vehicle at the edge, she raised her head.
With a hint of surprise, she glanced at the man in the suit standing on the car roof. A strange glint flashed in her eyes as she sensed a powerful energy emanating from him, far stronger than the drooling bald men around him.
She calmly averted her gaze. Although it was unexpected for an ordinary human to possess such strength, it wasn't enough to concern her.
Besides, no matter how strong he was, it didn't seem to have anything to do with her.
When Saeko looked up at him, the man in the suit couldn't help but feel a surge of joy. He believed that in this post-apocalyptic world, any woman would be captivated by his handsomeness and strength. Once a woman noticed him, she would surely beg to become his subordinate.
After all, countless women he had encountered before were just like that!
But the man was disappointed. The girl merely glanced at him indifferently and then looked away. No surprise, no curiosity, and certainly no passionate gaze…
Even the girls behind her were the same!
What's more, to his annoyance, the girls were chattering away, casting disdainful looks at him, and one bold girl even whispered, calling him a pretty boy!!!
His face flushed red with anger. The man felt his dignity was severely insulted. In this post-apocalyptic world, a strong man like him was actually being looked down upon by a group of weak women!
No matter how beautiful you are, in this world, women are just lowly objects for men to vent their desires. How dare you look down on me?!
His eyes glinted coldly, and a thick aura of killing intent erupted from his body. Initially, he had planned to be a bit more gentle and refined when encountering such a group of exquisite women, but since they were so ungrateful, he would resort to the law of the jungle in this post-apocalyptic world!
