There were a total of twelve women. After a brief tidying up, they nervously followed Jack and the others. Through Thomas Hong's brief introduction, it turned out that seven of these girls were her colleagues, while the others were ones they had just met here. Interestingly, eight of them were originally flight attendants, and Thomas Hong was their team leader. They had been trapped here after being invited by the supermarket for an event.
Jack originally planned to take them to the first floor to rest for a night before leaving, as the air there was much better than on the second floor. The space on the second floor was so limited that even if there were more than ten beautiful women, the smell after a year of confinement would be unbearable. Moreover, the girls had hardly bathed for almost a year to conserve water. In their words, they never imagined they would be this dirty since the day they were born.
Looking at these girls, who were as dirty as beggars, Jack thought about how he seemed to be quite dirty himself. He suddenly had an idea and asked, "Is there anyone among you who works here?"
"Yes... that's me!" A girl dressed differently from the others raised her hand and walked over. It was vaguely noticeable that she was wearing a black professional suit. According to her own introduction, she was the manager of the marketing department of this supermarket.
"Is there a water tank on your rooftop? A big water tank!" Jack asked, gesturing with his hands.
"Yes, we actually have a large water storage tank, plus several more installed by the gym and beauty salon!" The female manager, in her late twenties, frowned for a moment and then nodded.
"Great, you all go pick out some clothes first, then let's head up to the rooftop!" Jack snapped his fingers and said.
"What do we need clothes for on the rooftop?" Thomas Hong asked, puzzled.
"Of course, it's for taking a shower, right, Brother Lin!" A-Xue smiled happily as she saw Jack nod.
...
"Haha~ There's more than half a tank of water!" Boss Hu stood on top of a large square water tank, excitedly lifting the lid.
"Haha, sisters, let's get to work!" The eldest girl among them, Thomas Hong, waved her hand, and the girls immediately put down the colorful clothes they had just picked out, pulled out a large inflatable swimming pool they had scavenged from the second floor, connected the air pump, and started blowing it up with "huff huff" sounds.
With many hands, the inflatable pool quickly took shape, and then several girls carried it and placed it next to the large water tank. Jack smiled slightly as he watched the excited faces of the girls. In their astonished gazes, he pulled out the handgun from his waist and shot the water tank twice.
Two streams of water, as thick as a thumb, accurately flowed into the swimming pool. The girls cheered and rushed to catch the flowing water. How long had it been? Not to mention they hadn't even washed their faces; over a week ago, they had completely run out of water and, under Hong Jie's insistence, had to start drinking their own urine to survive. Just thinking about that bitter, fishy taste made the girls want to cry!
However, upon seeing a large source of water, all their worries were thrown aside. The girls laughed and jumped into the inflatable pool. Boss Hu excitedly took off his floral shirt, exposing his bare arms, eager to join in, but just as he was about to jump into the pool, he saw Cao Mei walking over with her arms crossed, giving him a disdainful glance and saying, "What are you doing? Are you trying to join the girls for a shower?"
"What's wrong? I want to take a shower too!" Boss Hu said, taken aback and displeased.
"There's still plenty of water, and they're not familiar with you. Wait until we're done washing before you wash. You go stand by the bottom of the stairs and keep an eye out. If a zombie comes up to you, you'll be in big trouble!" Cao Mei said with a cold smile, her beautiful face full of arrogance.
"Isn't Jack also unfamiliar with them? Why isn't he leaving?" Boss Hu said, pointing at Jack in front of him.
"That's up to us, do you have any say in it?" After saying that, Cao Mei twisted her slender waist and walked away.
"Pah, you little brat, you'll regret this sooner or later!" Boss Hu spat fiercely and, feeling exceptionally disgruntled, picked up his floral shirt and left in a huff.
"Lin Ye, come on, take off your clothes and let me help you scrub your back!" Cao Mei's delicate hands rested on Jack's shoulders, sliding down to unbutton the clasp on Jack's chest.
"No, you women bathing, what's a big man like me doing in there? It's not convenient!" Jack said awkwardly, pressing down on Cao Mei's hand as she was unbuttoning his shirt.
"The girls don't care, so what are you afraid of? Come on, let me help you take off your clothes, so the new woman doesn't say our master isn't generous!" Cao Mei said as she started to take off Jack's clothes without hesitation. Michael, lying beside them, was drooling and nodded in agreement, saying, "Exactly, exactly, not generous at all!"
It must be said that Cao Mei is indeed a rare gem among women. With her gentle words and soft tones, she managed to coax Jack into reluctantly taking off his clothes, leaving him in nothing but a pair of briefs, which he strongly opposed but ultimately managed to keep on.
When Jack stepped into the pool, which was only up to his calves, he suddenly realized that he had become the center of attention for all the women. Whether it was Cao Mei, who had already stripped down, or A Xue, who was in the process of undressing, even the women standing under the shower in their underwear turned to look at him, their faces filled with shock.
"Hehe, if you think it's inconvenient, then I'll just go out!" Jack turned around slightly awkwardly, wanting to step outside, but was pulled back by Cao Mei behind him, who said, "What inconvenience? Isn't a woman's body meant to be seen by men? Of course, it also depends on who it is!"
As she spoke, Cao Mei turned her body to look at the girls who were showering and said very seriously, "What I'm about to say may sound harsh or dismissive to you, but as a woman myself, I hope you can listen. First of all, put away your pride. No matter how reserved or conservative you were in the past, the world is different now. If you want to survive, all your modesty and dignity are worthless. If you ever visit a slightly larger gathering place, you'll find that the least valuable thing there is a beautiful woman. When you get so hungry that you could eat anything, you'll realize that nothing else matters..."
"...Since you are about to leave here, Lin Ye cannot take you with him for a lifetime. At most, he will take you to a safe place and then leave you there. So, at that time, you will have to rely on yourselves. If any of you think you can survive without a man, then you can ignore this, but for those who believe they can't, please strip off your clothes now. When the time comes, you'll be able to adapt sooner and suffer less!"
Cao Mei's words were quite shocking. Although what she said was very practical, it was hard for these girls to accept at once. Jack was awkwardly standing there, trying to turn away, when he saw A Xue being the first to confidently take off all her clothes and seriously say, "I might be the youngest here, so I can call you all sisters. I know Cao Mei's words are hard for you to accept, but every word she says is the truth. The world is no longer a place where women can hold up half the sky. There are too many people outside who would resort to violence over just a few meters or a few bags of instant noodles. Countless people have lost their lives over things they once looked down upon. Sisters, times have changed. I hope you can be more open-minded and live to survive!"
After A Xue finished speaking, there was a long period of silence before Thomas Hong was the first to speak, "Lin Ye, we know that what A Xue and the others said is the truth. In fact, our bodies are not as important as they say. It's just that as Americans, we have some traditional concepts that we find hard to adapt to. I can see that you are a man, a truly responsible man. As long as you don't force it, it doesn't matter if the sisters all follow you. As long as you appreciate them! After all, we can only survive with your care. We won't do things that only take without giving!"
As he spoke, Thomas Hong surprisingly took the lead in unbuttoning her blouse, which she hadn't even taken off while showering. A pair of perfect breasts wrapped in black lace immediately revealed themselves. Following that, she generously removed the black binding, presenting an astonishing sight to Jack, with two prominent points gleaming proudly.
Needless to say, the other girls either boldly or shyly stripped off all their clothes, happily standing under the water tank to shower. This left Jack in a dilemma, unable to leave or stay, standing there like a wooden post, with only the slight bulge in his underwear betraying his current excitement.
Jack was absolutely stunned. As a man, if he wasn't excited or happy seeing such a scene, there would definitely be something wrong with him. Once upon a time, Jack had dreamed of such a scenario in his youth, but now that the dream had unexpectedly come true, he was left dumbfounded, gazing at the white bodies, with no unpleasant odors. All that was left for Jack was a dry mouth.
