I slay demons and monsters in a bizarre city.

Chapter 54 Gentle Scum
Zhou Lei adjusted his black-rimmed glasses. It had taken him a lot of effort to find Li Changgeng's house. Zhou Lei wasn't from Black Sea City. This guy was Li Changgeng's college classmate. He was good-for-nothing, ruthless, and vicious. Although the glasses gave him a refined appearance, Li Changgeng knew all too well that Zhou Lei was a complete scoundrel.

They've done plenty of thievery and prostitution. Li Changgeng knows that Zhou Lei has been looking for pretty girls for Gu Chao, especially virgin girls who haven't yet blossomed into womanhood. He's basically acting as a pimp for Gu Chao.

During their university years, Li Changgeng and Zhou Lei were not close, but after an incident, Li Changgeng developed a strong aversion to Zhou Lei because of Li Changgeng's sister.

Zhou Lei was extremely well-informed. He found out that Li Changgeng had a younger sister who was still in her final year of high school, so he set his sights on Li Changgeng's sister, Li Ying, intending to give her to Gu Chao for his amusement.

Because of this incident, Zhou Lichanggeng even had a conflict with Zhou Lei.

Because of the special work their parents did in mythological archaeology, Li Changgeng's parents were often away from home for long periods of time, so taking care of his younger sister, Li Ying, became Li Changgeng's responsibility alone.

It was common for Li Changgeng to pick up his younger sister after school so they could go home together. Fortunately, the schools the two siblings attended were not far apart.

Therefore, Li Changgeng and his sister Li Ying have a very deep sibling bond. For more than ten years, starting from elementary school, Li Changgeng has been picking up and dropping off his sister at school. Of course, Li Ying is also Li Changgeng's little "tagalong".

Zhou Lei merely glanced at Li Changgeng before continuing to smoke.

"Boss, look, Li Changgeng is back. He looks like a homeless man now."

Zhou Lei took a deep drag on his cigarette and sneered, "I told you back then to tell your sister to stop studying and marry Young Master Gu Chao. If all else fails, she could become a concubine and have a child for the Gu family."

"Look..."

Zhou Lei pointed with his cigarette-holding finger at the mess on the ground and the almost bare walls of his home. "Look at you, how poor you've become? Now you're not doing well either. Your sister is practically in a vegetative state, lying in the Black Sea City Hospital. Young Master Gu Chao has no interest in women who are unresponsive, can't make a sound, and can't moan! Hehe..."

"What are you doing here?" Li Changgeng had always been a refined and cultured person. His parents had also taught him to be tolerant and to avoid trouble.

Zhou Lei smiled with narrowed eyes, glancing sideways at Li Changgeng, "We were classmates for four years in college, so it's alright for me to come and see you, isn't it? Classmate friendship is a very precious thing."

Gu Chao gently kicked away the wooden door debris at his feet, straightened his suit collar, and said nothing. This time, he came to find Li Changgeng, but in reality, he was looking for a scapegoat.

"Speak plainly, I have other things to do." Li Changgeng was going to search the floor for the things his parents had left him, and he also needed to go to the Black Sea City Hospital to see his younger sister, Li Ying. He didn't know if the Meng Po soup he got in Fengdu City would work, but after drinking it, Li Changgeng felt refreshed, his spirits were much better, and his body was not so weak.

"Hey, what's changed? That look in your eyes is quite something!" Zhou Lei turned to look at Gu Chao, and the two exchanged a smile.

Gu Chao casually tossed the half-smoked cigar onto the dirty ground and saw the photos of Li Changgeng and Li Ying hanging on the wall. At that time, Li Ying was only fifteen years old, a budding flower just beginning to bloom, with a delicate and innocent face, slightly protruding breasts, and long legs.

If it weren't for Li Changgeng's interference, that little beauty Li Ying would have long been Gu Chao's possession. Gu Chao comes from a wealthy family; his father is one of the heads of a very powerful biotechnology company in Black Sea City. Gu Chao understands the current situation in Black Sea City better than most people. It's true that evil spirits, zombies, and even strange creatures like vampires appear at night. However, besides his lackey Zhou Lei, he has many bodyguards. Curfew is simply not a concept for a young master like Gu Chao; he enjoys finding some fun at night.

Gu Chao's father was an impotent cripple with a crazy obsession with reproduction, causing countless women to bear his children. As a result, Gu Chao's father strongly supported Gu Chao's despicable behavior, namely, having children with beautiful, well-built, and genetically superior women through non-marital means.

The Gu family has enough wealth to raise their child, and Gu Chao can be considered a reproductive tool for the Gu family.

However, the Gu family has a tradition: Gu Chao can have his way with women, but if they are to actually have a child, the girl must undergo genetic sequencing and screening to ensure that she has no genetic defects or mutations.

After the eternal night and mist descend, human genes become very unstable, and gene sequences change constantly.

"Pick up the cigarette butt!" Li Changgeng frowned. Right in front of him, Gu Chao threw a half-smoked cigar at his feet.

"Haha, you're such a poor wretch. This is called a cigar, not a cigarette. You've never seen anything like it. It's imported from Northern Europe. One cigar is worth more than your monthly salary." Zhou Lei continued to mock Li Changgeng. Among the girls Zhou Lei had found for Gu Chao, apart from two, the others had all become Gu Chao's reproductive machines, and some of them already had children as old as three.

"Oh, I almost forgot, this is your house. The cigar is right at your feet. Would it kill you to bend down and pick it up yourself?"

"Hmph! Ptooey!" Zhou Lei spat at the cigar on the ground, and sticky phlegm dripped down the cigar, forming a thin line.

These two girls were not ruined by Gu Chao. One was Li Ying, and the other was Li Zhiman, the most beautiful campus belle recognized by Black Sea City University.

Li Zhiman is a well-known beauty who possesses both beauty and intelligence, and is proud to the core. Her family background is very mysterious and her background is very powerful. Even Gu Chao can only negotiate with her and dare not take the initiative.

"Get out of my house right now, or I won't be polite!" Li Changgeng suppressed his emotions. Zhou Lei was a very good fighter, a national champion boxer sent by Black Sea City University to participate in the national boxing competition. As long as he could endure it, Li Changgeng did not intend to use violence. As for killing, he really had not thought about it, even though the social order in Black Sea City was basically in a state of collapse.

Zhou Lei took off his denim jacket with a skull and Tyrannosaurus Rex print, revealing a tight black sports vest with rugged, muscular lines. "Hey, still bookish, a bit effeminate. I bet if this kid saw an evil spirit or a monster, he'd wet his pants in fear."

"Young Master Gu Chao is kind-hearted and a righteous gentleman. He knows you need money to save your sister. Two million is yours if you come to the designated place tonight for a midnight adventure party."

"By the way, Li Zhiman will be going too! You can see the school beauty and make some money, isn't that great?"

Gu Chao still had that expression of a powerful man looking down on ants. In his eyes, Li Changgeng's life or death was irrelevant. Even if he were killed, with the strength and background of the Gu family, he could easily handle it!
Li Changgeng was tempted. Whether or not he met Li Zhiman was not important; the main thing was that the two million could save Li Ying.

"Now, let's have a boxing match! I'll give you a three-punch head start! If you beat me, you'll qualify." Zhou Lei clenched his fists so tightly they cracked.
