Untouched by the Outbreak

Chapter 135 - 135: Nightfall Curiosity

The night had settled in, the soft glow of candlelight casting shadows across the room as Ryo and Sachiko finished their meal. The air was calm, except for the usual faint sounds of the zombies patrolling outside. What shocked Sachiko, however, was when she saw Ryo casually feeding Sayako, the female zombie, a portion of their food. Sayako, without hesitation, took it and began to eat.

Sachiko blinked in surprise, watching the zombie consume the food like any human might. "I… I didn't know zombies could eat like that," she stammered, her voice filled with a mix of disbelief and discomfort.

Ryo leaned back, observing Sayako for a moment before turning his gaze to Sachiko. "Why are you so shocked? Weren't you a re

Sachiko, her curiosity piqued, looked up at Ryo and asked softly, "Ryo… I really want to know. What if you meet another female survivor in the future? Will you bring her here to this base? And… if you do, will you claim her body, the same way you've claimed mine?"

Ryo's expression hardened, his usual smirk replaced with a serious, almost cold gaze. He stared at her for a moment before answering in a firm, unyielding voice. "Yes," he said without hesitation. "There's nothing free in this world anymore, Sachiko. If a female survivor wants a place here, she'll have to submit.

If she isn't willing to give her body to satisfy my desires, then there's no place for her at this base."

He paused, his voice becoming even more resolute. "For me, a woman who refuses to become my pleasure in bed has no use. I don't need weak attachments or half-hearted loyalty. Everything is about survival now, and that includes fulfilling my needs."

Sachiko listened in silence, her mind racing with the weight of his words. Deep down, she knew this side of Ryo—his dominance, his control. It was part of the world they lived in now, part of what made him strong. But hearing it out loud, so coldly spoken, made her feel both nervous and strangely reassured.

She had already accepted her role beside him, but what did the future hold for her… and for any others who might cross Ryo's path?

Ryo, sensing her quiet contemplation, leaned back in his chair, taking another sip of his beer, as if his declaration was nothing out of the ordinary. For him, it wasn't—it was just the new reality.

Ryo leaned in, his lips capturing Sachiko's in a firm, possessive kiss. As he pulled away, his gaze bore into hers, his hand gripping her hair tightly, sending a jolt through her.

"You're mine and mine only," he said, his voice low but commanding. "Even if there's a day when another woman comes here, it won't change anything. You'll still be mine. Don't ever forget that."

The firm grip on her hair and the intensity in his voice made it clear—Ryo wasn't asking, he was declaring. Sachiko felt her heart race, the mix of dominance and passion that only Ryo could bring sending waves of conflicting emotions through her. She nodded silently, fully aware of her place in his world. No matter who came into their lives, she belonged to Ryo.
