"Stop, you bitch!" Someone chased after him, shouting and cursing loudly.

"Hurry up, catch her. You forced me to come out to work in such hot weather. I must make her bleed!" another voice urged.

Li Ke was exhausted. Her brain was still forcing her to run faster, but her body fell down uncontrollably. The numb pain appeared in her body for a moment and then disappeared.

She was so thirsty! So hot! So tired!

At this moment, Li Ke felt like a thirsty fish being fried on the ground, feeling so uncomfortable that he seemed to be dying soon.

The sun was shining brightly in the sky, scorching everything in the world; even the air seemed to be burning.

Li Ke's consciousness began to become blurred. She seemed to hear footsteps approaching, and her brain inertia conveyed the message of danger.

She felt herself struggling to get up and escape as quickly as possible, but all this was just an imagination in her mind, and she no longer had any strength to move.

The overwhelming punches and kicks landed heavily on Li Ke. She barely used her arms to protect her head, but it was not very effective because she was too thin and weak.

Li Ke had no strength to resist. She was kicked in the heart. Blood welled up in her throat. Before she could spit out the blood, it flowed back into her throat. Li Ke curled up in pain and forced herself to swallow it back.

"Bitch, why are you running? Aren't you very capable? Stand up and keep running!" The man beat and cursed her.

"You dead cripple, we took you in because we respect you. You ate our food and drank our water, and now you want to run away? I'm going to cripple your other leg right now!" Another man's voice rang out.

Immediately afterwards, Li Ke felt a sharp pain in his leg. The man was hitting Li Ke's leg with an iron rod.

Li Ke screamed, but the sound was not too loud. She used her remaining consciousness to look at those faces. The two men only showed a pair of eyes, and the iron rod in the hand of one of them once belonged to her.

"Stop hitting her, stop hitting her. If you continue hitting her, she will die. We can take her back and she will still be useful." A hoarse female voice sounded, stopping the two men who were about to attack. Her breathing was rapid, as if she had just arrived.

"Don't worry, this bitch is very tough and won't die!" The man kicked Li Ke again as if to vent his anger.

"Isn't it? Daring to escape in broad daylight is simply courting death!" another man also spoke angrily.

Li Ke lay there motionless with her eyes closed. Her whole body was in excruciating pain and any movement seemed to cost her life.

She was also feeling emotional in her heart, thinking that she was really lucky. Even though she was so weak, she hadn't been beaten to death yet?

"Is anyone dead?" The sound of wheel wheels was heard, and another voice was added in. It was another man pushing a scavenger cart and rushing over.

"She's not dead. This bitch is still very lucky!" The man who spoke kicked Li Ke's leg and replied.

Someone helped Li Ke up, tore off the clothes wrapped around her head, exposed her mouth and nose, and felt her weak breath. A hoarse voice sounded: "She is not in good condition. Give me a sip of water. With just a sip of water, she can continue to live."

The voice seemed to really want Li Ke to be rescued. Soon, a moist breath was sent to Li Ke's mouth. Almost instinctively, she opened her mouth, and warm water flowed into her mouth. She began to swallow greedily in big gulps, but soon the water flow stopped.

Li Ke opened her eyes, held the entire water bottle in her hands, and licked the mouth of the bottle vigorously until not a drop of water came out. Only then did she give up this greedy and thirsty exploration.

"Sister, please bear with it for a while. I will take you back now. I won't let you die." The hoarse voice sounded again, with great concern in the tone.

Li Ke closed her eyes, not even having the energy to sneer. Anger, rage, despair, these rich emotions had long since left her. After nearly thirteen years in this apocalyptic world, she became more and more like a mature killing machine.

If she had any strength left, she would have killed the owner of this voice, but unfortunately she was disabled.

She was too weak now, and she had no weapon. Irrational resistance would only cause her to be beaten even harder.

Now, even if she wanted to die happily, she couldn't do it.

"Sister, I know you are angry with me, but I really can't watch you die. From now on, the two of us sisters will depend on each other, okay?" The hoarse voice continued, as if it cherished Li Ke's life very much.

Li Ke felt her body being lifted up, and the voice of the man pushing the cart rang out: "Hurry up, don't waste time, it's damn hot."

She opened her eyes and watched herself being put on a cart piled with garbage.

Li Ke was very thin. There were some broken bottles and cans, and some broken wood on the garbage piled on the car, and she was placed on top of them without any cover.

The car was pushed forward, and Li Ke's body lay on the angular garbage, feeling very painful and uncomfortable, but no one cared whether she was comfortable at the moment.

In the eyes of others, she was already enjoying herself by being able to lie on the car effortlessly and be pushed forward.

When he woke up again, it was already evening. Li Ke returned to this shabby brick house with peeling paint. Such houses can be found everywhere nowadays.

Chen Jiaojiao was squatting aside, boiling water in a hanging water tank.

Li Ke's throat rolled over, and she still felt the pain of thirst in her throat. She said in a hoarse voice: "Water, give me some water."

"Sister, you're awake!" There was joy in her hoarse voice. Chen Jiaojiao immediately got up and came to Li Ke's side, helping her up from the floor.

The so-called floor mat is actually a makeshift blanket made by sewing together several tattered pieces of clothes.

"I knew you would be thirsty when you woke up, so I've prepared some water for you." Chen Jiaojiao's voice was flattering.

She brought the water that had been dried nearby and fed it to Li Ke's mouth. The water was very turbid, but Li Ke swallowed it in big gulps without any disgust. He drank the entire cup of water in just two or three seconds.

A skinny and greasy man walked in. He was wearing a T-shirt that exposed his belly and his jeans were torn and hung on his legs.

The man's hair was shoulder-length, and most of it was tied into a knot. He used a piece of cloth to tie the hair on top of his head into a ball.

The man used his lustful eyes to look at Li Ke, who was somewhat sober, from head to toe, and asked with a bit of disdain, "How about it, do you want to take business today? A biscuit and half a bottle of purified water."

Chen Jiao's eyes lit up when she heard about pure water. She left Li Ke and walked closer to the man, leaning against him and said with a smile, "Brother Qiu, can I serve you?"

The man pushed Chen Jiaojiao away with disgust: "Your vagina is broken, I can find a dog that is tighter than you, get out of here, I like her, didn't you say she has no man?"
