Skinwalker Belle – Chapter 32 – The Girls’ Bath

Two full days of bloody battle had finally come to an end.

The second, third, and fourth floors of the Fragrant Hills International building were completely cleared of the wandering threats.

The price was steep.

Seventeen men and two women.

Their lives were forever frozen in these past two days.

Most of them had been scratched during the chaotic battles. Unable to hold on, they turned into their former enemies in despair.

The two women were ambushed by a zombie hiding in a shadowy corner while transporting weapons and were killed on the spot.

Night fell.

In the temporary dining hall on the sixth floor, the atmosphere was oppressive and heavy.

Lei Li stood at the front. Instead of her usual slim cigarette, she held a bottle of strong liquor.

She twisted off the cap and, without using a cup, raised the bottle high.

“To our fallen brothers and sisters.”

Her voice was hoarse yet exceptionally clear, echoing in everyone’s ears.

“May you find peace.”

With that, she tilted her head back and took a large swig.

Everyone silently raised their cups and bottles, pouring the harsh liquid down their throats.

The fiery burn traveled down their esophagi, as if lighting a pyre to send off the departed.

Lin Fan also held a cup of white liquor. She mimicked the others and took a small sip.

“Cough, cough…”

The intense spiciness choked him, nearly bringing tears to his eyes.

This body of Chen Yao’s was truly too weak.

Her small face was pale as she coughed, looking at Lei Li with those large, watery eyes, perfectly playing the part of a fragile young doctor overcome by the sorrowful atmosphere.

But deep inside, her thoughts were ice-cold.

Nineteen people.

In exchange for three floors of safe space and a large amount of supplies.

Worth it.

These were the laws of the apocalypse.

Trading human lives for the right to survive.

Lei Li understood this better than she had imagined.

She didn’t give some impassioned speech, nor did she make any empty promises of revenge.

A single toast.

A few words.

Yet it was more effective at soothing hearts and rallying strength than any speech could be.

A competent leader.

Lin Fan made her assessment.

This only deepened her desire to peel off Lei Li’s skin.

After the send-off ceremony, Lei Li began to announce the new plans for their base.

“Starting today, the employee cafeteria on the second floor will be our main dining hall. All food will be centrally managed and distributed based on contribution.”

“The office area on the third floor will be converted into the men’s dormitory. It’s big enough for everyone to get three cubicles each. The folding beds left behind by that tech company are enough for everyone to get a good night’s sleep.”

Suppressed cheers erupted from the men in the crowd.

They had long had enough of being crammed into small rooms.

“The fitness center on the fourth floor has separate men’s and women’s shower rooms and a swimming pool. From now on, that will be our bathhouse and water storage area. I will assign people to maintain the pool’s water quality to ensure it’s drinkable once boiled.”

This news, in particular, made everyone’s eyes light up, especially the women’s.

In the apocalypse, being able to take a shower was an incredible luxury.

Order, food, and a clean water source.

Under Lei Li’s leadership, this shelter was getting on track at an astonishing speed.

Lin Fan listened in silence, feeling increasingly calm.

The more stable the base became, the easier it would be to execute her plan.

…

That evening.

The sixth floor was abuzz with excitement. The men who had been living there had all moved to the third floor.

Now, only women remained on the sixth floor.

“This is great! We can finally take a shower!”

“Oh my god, I feel like I’m starting to go sour.”

“Let’s go, let’s go! Let’s go together!”

Lin Fan was sitting in a corner, contemplating how to further gain Lei Li’s trust, when several girls swarmed her, chattering away.

“Xiao Yao, come take a shower with us!”

“Yeah, yeah, you still smell like blood. You have to wash it off properly.”

Lin Fan’s body instantly stiffened.

A shower?

She hadn’t expected this.

“I… I think I’ll skip it.” Lin Fan immediately put on a pitiful expression, pointing to her bandaged shoulder. “My wound can’t get wet yet.”

“Oh, what’s the big deal!” The short-haired girl in the lead waved her hand dismissively. “We’ll help you wash! We’ll make sure not to get your wound wet!”

“That’s right, we’ll help you!”

Without another word, the girls half-pulled, half-dragged her, lifting Lin Fan to her feet.

A stampede of a thousand alpacas thundered through Lin Fan’s mind.

Damn it!

She had forgotten that the persona for this body, Chen Yao, was the group’s darling who got along with everyone.

There was no way she would refuse a group activity like this!

To avoid blowing her cover, she could only let herself be half-pushed, half-coerced toward the fourth floor.

In the fitness center on the fourth floor, the once-luxurious women’s changing room was now lit by only a few dim emergency lights.

But the space was large enough.

The women excitedly stripped off their filthy clothes, revealing bodies that hadn’t been washed in a long time.

A strange smell of sweat mixed with soap filled the air.

“Wow, Xiao Li, did you get bigger here?”

“Stop it! Don’t just grope me!”

“Quick, see if my abs are still there…”

Lin Fan’s scalp tingled at the fragrant yet awkward scene.

She shrank into the farthest corner, her back to everyone, and stripped off her clothes as fast as she could, wishing she could bury himself in the wall.

This body was truly too petite. At one-and-a-half meters tall, with slender limbs, she looked like an underdeveloped middle schooler, completely inconspicuous among a group of adult women.

This brought her a slight sense of relief.

Just then.

The door to the changing room was pushed open.

The previously noisy environment fell silent in an instant.

Lei Li walked in.

She was still in her signature black leather pants and tight tank top, which outlined her powerful physique.

The women all greeted her in low voices.

“Lei-jie.”

Lei Li merely gave a faint nod, and then, under everyone’s gaze, began to take off her clothes.

There was no coyness or attempt to cover up.

Her movements were crisp and efficient.

The tight tank top came off, revealing a well-defined back and shoulders.

Next were the leather pants that encased her astonishingly long legs.

Lin Fan felt her breath catch for a moment.

Those weren’t the exaggerated muscle masses built in a gym.

They were a thin, tight layer of streamlined muscle covering a delicate bone structure, brimming with explosive power.

A slender neck, a flat stomach with a visible eight-pack, and legs that were straight and strong—every inch of her skin seemed to speak of this body’s terrifying strength.

It was a wild, vibrant, almost perfect beauty.

The ultimate fusion of power and femininity.

Lin Fan’s pupils constricted slightly.

She had seen Liu Ruyan’s sexy and seductive shell, and she possessed Chen Yao’s petite and cute body.

But the one before her now…

Was completely different.

It was like an ultimate weapon that had been meticulously forged, every component flawless.

Lin Fan’s heart began to pound uncontrollably.

The desire in her eyes was almost tangible.

The showerheads were turned on, and cold water gushed out.

The women let out a series of gasps and shrieks, shoving each other to dodge the bone-chilling water.

Only Lei Li remained unfazed. She walked under a showerhead, letting the icy stream wash over her perfect body. Droplets slid down the firm lines of her muscles, reflecting a seductive glint in the dim light.

Lin Fan stood rooted to the spot, motionless.

Her gaze, as if drawn by a magnet, was glued to Lei Li’s body.
