Our supplies are limited; we can only help our own Chinese people.

Having just finished building the new town, "Lin Niu Ma" hurriedly returned to his villa.

The onlookers gasped in astonishment, but the twin sisters and Zhou Xiaomin, who were already used to Lin Chen's methods, remained calm and didn't even raise their eyelids.

They all thought to themselves: "To be so surprised by this little commotion is just plain stupid."

On the other side, the recruitment point at the entrance of the community was already packed with people. Fortunately, Li Ya and her team were there to keep things in order.

However, whenever a newcomer hears the recruitment rules and learns that the inner city team only recruits women, even if they are full of resentment, they can only turn around and walk to the outer city registration queue on the left.

How could Zhou Tiannian let go of such a ready opportunity?

He was currently short-handed and eager to expand his outer circle, so he happily recruited almost all the women who had been screened out by Li Ya according to the inner city's standards into his ranks.

After all, he was the "outsider" personally recognized by Lin Chen, and even Li Ya, the second-in-command of the shelter, did not interfere. Anyone with eyes could see his status.

Moreover, his team wasn't that particular; they accepted both men and women, as long as they were young and strong or had a special skill.

Just as the recruitment process was proceeding smoothly, Zhou Xiaomin, with her sharp eyes, suddenly caught a glimpse of a burly figure standing out from the women in the recruitment queue on the right.

She immediately frowned, strode forward, and with a loud "smack," slapped the burly man's thick back, her voice cold and hard: "Get in line on the left! This side only hires women!"

The burly man staggered from the slap, then whirled around. His face, which had been blaming him with rage, swallowed back the curses that were on the tip of his tongue when he saw Zhou Xiaomin, who was holding a submachine gun and had a sharp look in her eyes.

A fawning smile instantly spread across her face, and her voice was deliberately made soft and high-pitched, giving off goosebumps: "Miss~ I really want to join your team! What if the city lord likes my type? Let me tell you, I can be straight or gay~"

As he spoke, he raised his pinky finger and gave Zhou Xiaomin a flirtatious wink; his manner was so greasy it was nauseating.

Zhou Xiaomin shuddered, goosebumps instantly spreading across her arms. She never expected that a big, burly man could be so flamboyant!

Suppressing the urge to shoot him, she pressed the muzzle of her submachine gun against the burly man's chest, her voice icy: "Enough talk! Get to the left right now!"

The burly man shrank back, startled by the dark muzzle of the gun, and dared not be reckless any longer. He could only mutter aggrievedly as he walked to the left, muttering, "Sigh...you guys have no idea what true love is..."

Those around him felt a chill run down their spines. While laughing, they all took a few steps back, as if afraid of getting involved with something unclean, and kept their distance from him.

No sooner had the farce over here ended than a sharp argument erupted from the direction of the outer city gate.

"Take these dark-skinned people away immediately; the shelter doesn't allow them in!"

"On what grounds? They are foreign friends! This is blatant discrimination! This violates international law!"

Li Ya, who was assisting Bai Xin with registering her information, frowned upon hearing the commotion. She quickly exchanged a few words with Bai Xin and then strode towards the outer city gate.

As soon as they got closer, they saw Ma Xiaoyan standing with her arms outstretched, blocking the doorway with a serious expression. Opposite her, two women who looked like Chinese women were standing with their hands on their hips, yelling and furious.

Behind them stood seven or eight burly black men, each with a nonchalant air, their eyes darting around at the women with a greedy glint in their eyes.

"What's going on?" Li Ya walked to Ma Xiaoyan's side, her gaze sweeping over the person opposite her, her tone calm yet carrying an undeniable authority.

"Sister Ya, these two women insisted on bringing these black-skinned guys into the shelter, but I stopped them," Ma Xiaoyan immediately explained, pointing to the two furious women.

The two women looked up and saw Li Ya. Their gazes swept over her delicate features and tall figure, and their jealousy almost overflowed. Their expressions became even more unpleasant.

The burly, dark-skinned men behind them lit up the moment they saw Li Ya, staring intently at her.

His gaze was even more intense than when he looked at the two girls in front of him.

Clearly, in their eyes, Li Ya was far more beautiful than the two women in front of her, and therefore more desirable to them.

That undisguised possessiveness spread rampantly in the air.

Li Ya's gaze swept indifferently over the two women, then fell on the greedy-eyed black man behind them. Her voice was icy cold: "In the apocalypse, what international law is there?"

"Here, the rules of the shelter are the rules. Our supplies are limited, only enough to help our Chinese citizens. You should go back to where you came from."

"Stop making excuses!" one of the blonde women yelled in a shrill voice, pointing her finger at the air. "You just don't want them in because they're Black! Let me tell you, they're all strong and capable fighters. Keeping them here is good for the shelter. You're just being ungrateful!"

Another woman chimed in, spitting as she spoke: "That's right! If you don't let them in today, that's discrimination! We're not leaving, let's see what you can do to us!"

As soon as they finished speaking, a tall, muscular Black man behind them suddenly took a step forward, his greasy hand reaching directly towards Li Ya's arm.

He was still babbling in broken Chinese, a flippant smile on his face: "Pretty lady, don't be so fierce. Come with us, and we'll make sure you live the high life..."

Before his hand could even touch Li Ya's clothes, she grabbed his wrist with her own.

Li Ya's wrist strength was astonishing. Her fingertips gripped his bones tightly, and with a soft "crack," the black man instantly let out a pig-like scream. His body hunched over, and cold sweat poured down his forehead. His previous arrogance vanished completely.

"Ah—my hand! Let go! Let go now!"

Li Ya kicked the black man directly in the groin, and a sound of his testicles breaking rang out.

Upon seeing this, the other black men immediately turned fierce and rolled up their sleeves to step forward, but Ma Xiaoyan and several recruitment team members who had gathered around after hearing the commotion all pointed submachine guns at their heads.

With the dark muzzle of a gun pressed against their foreheads, the black men froze on the spot, not daring to move an inch.

The people queuing around them also erupted in anger, shouting and cursing.

"What the hell are you doing? Trying to be a thug, huh? Do you really think our shelter is a pushover?"

"Those two women are shameless. Even in the apocalypse, they're still sucking up to foreigners. Have they no shame?"

"What good is physical strength if your mind is all crooked? Keeping you around is just a menace!"

Seeing the black man subdued, the two women panicked, but still stubbornly retorted, "You dare to lay a hand on them? If anything happens to them, you won't get away with it!"

Seeing the conflict break out, Zhou Tian quickly led his men over, and other team members nearby also rushed over.

Immediately, the group of dark-skinned men and the two girls were completely surrounded.
