Liu Xin agreed, "Okay, let's go back and check the situation before deciding."

On this day, all the survivors in the suburbs realized that in this apocalypse, there was no safe place at all.

This also caused many teams that originally planned to relocate to the countryside to abandon their relocation plans.

In comparison, the campsite seemed much safer.

Chen Guodong said to Lin Kang, "The camp commander told us to clear all the trees a couple of days ago. At first, I didn't understand what he meant, but now it seems that the camp commander was really prescient."

Lin Kang chimed in, "Yes, according to the survivors who escaped into the city today, quite a few people were sucked dry by the mutated trees while they were sleeping last night. It's terrifying to think about."

Chen Guodong said, "Old Lin, have you noticed? Quite a few survivor teams have come to the city today. Do you think we'll be able to keep taking them indefinitely...?"

Lin Kang said, "That's what I'm worried about too. Why don't we go to the camp commander and see what he has to say?"

Inside the stadium, Yuan Chuyi was feeding Yuanbao its favorite dried fish when Lin Kang and his companion approached with worried expressions.

Yuan Chuyi looked at the two of them and said, "What's wrong? You two look so serious."

The two exchanged a glance, and Lin Kang said, "Since the plants mutated yesterday, a large number of survivors have arrived at the camp today."

While feeding Yuanbao, Yuan Chuyi said, "Isn't it a good thing that someone is coming to seek refuge? Why do you two look so worried?"

Chen Guodong said, "The problem is that quite a few survivor teams have also come to the city. I'm afraid that if this goes on for too long, these superhumans won't listen to our orders at all."

Yuan Chu thought for a moment and said, "Are you afraid of being usurped?"

Chen Guodong slapped his thigh and said, "Yes, that's exactly what I mean!"

Yuan Chuyi took out another bag of dried fish from his space and said slowly, "The root of everything lies in strength. As long as our strength is always greater than that of the masses, what is there to be afraid of?"

Don't worry, you just need to settle these people in an orderly manner.

On a street in the city, Lin Tiantian, arm in arm with Song Qian, said, "Captain, come with me. It's so boring for me to go alone."

Song Qian nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, let's go and come back quickly."

Lin Tiantian pulled Song Qian toward a building. As soon as they entered the gate, they heard a cacophony of voices.

"A whole carton of Zhonghua brand cigarettes can be exchanged for 100 jin of clean rice!"

I'm trading my limited-edition LV bag for 5 kilograms of rice!

You can exchange a Cartier watch for 2 kilograms of rice or flour!

Diapers and sanitary napkins in exchange for food or weapons!

"The Tang sword has been traded for food!"

Shouts and calls echoed throughout the hall. Song Qian looked at Tian Tian in surprise and asked, "When did our city become so crowded? We even have a trading market now."

Tian Tian said, "It's only been a few days. I only heard about this place being turned into a trading market when I met Uncle Chen a couple of days ago."

The two strolled around for a while. At this moment, Tian Tian pulled Song Qian through the crowd and saw a woman with a dusty face and a sign hanging around her neck.

The sign above read "First Night in Exchange for Supplies," and the rest of the sign was filled with the names of the supplies.

A burly man said to the woman, "How about three catties of rice to keep me company for one night?"

The woman pointed to the sign in front of her without even looking up.

The burly man, seeing that the woman didn't even raise her head, immediately felt slighted and cursed, "You filthy bitch, I've already been generous by giving you three catties of rice. What can you do if I force myself on you today without giving you a single cent?"

As he spoke, the burly man reached out to grab the girl, but before he could touch her, a young man blocked his way and said, "Buying and selling in the market is entirely voluntary. Since the girl doesn't agree, you can't force her."

The burly man roared, "I'm taking her away today, what are you going to do about it!"

At this moment, the big man's companion quickly stepped forward and said to the young man with a smile, "Sorry, Captain Qi, my buddy just arrived today and doesn't know the rules." As he spoke, he forcibly pulled the big man away.

After the burly men left, everything seemed to return to normal. Song Qian tried calling out to the girl, "Wang Zhuo?"

The girl trembled slightly, looked up at the source of the voice and examined her closely, saying, "Song Qian, are you Song Qian?"

Song Qian quickly stepped forward and took off the sign hanging around Wang Zhuo's neck, saying, "What's going on with you? Why are you selling yourself?"

Wang Zhuo smiled bitterly and said, "It's a long story, but I see you're doing quite well. Even in the apocalypse, you're still dressed so well, and your skin is fair with a rosy glow."

Song Qian looked at Tian Tian and said, "I'm sorry, Tian Tian, ​​I ran into an old classmate today and can't go shopping with you. Please tell them I'll be back later."

Tian Tian nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go back now."

After Wang Zhuo and his companion left the trading market, Song Qian took the initiative to ask, "You still haven't told me, what's wrong with you? Why did you sell yourself?"

Also, didn't you have a boyfriend in college? Why isn't he with you?

Upon hearing the words "boyfriend," Wang Zhuo angrily retorted, "Don't mention Xiang Hua, that heartless bastard. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be like this."

Song Qian asked in confusion, "I remember when we were chatting before the apocalypse, you said you'd let me meet your boyfriend in a few days. What happened between you two during this time?"

Wang Zhuo continued, "He was fine in the early stages of the apocalypse, but I only truly saw his true colors after I awakened my superpowers, since my home wasn't far from the architecture university."

Later, when there were fewer and fewer zombies on the streets, he offered to bring my parents to the school. By then, he had already established his own power at Jianzhu University.

Without thinking much about it, I let him bring people to pick up my parents and my sister's child, Duoduo, at the same time.

It wasn't until I awakened my hearing ability that I understood why he hadn't touched me since the apocalypse.

As he spoke, Wang Zhuo wiped away his tears and continued, "It turns out there was another superhuman in the school who had always liked me. That bastard Xiang Hua planned to drug me and give me to him in order to win him over."

My parents and Duoduo were afraid that if I found out, they would use it as leverage to threaten me.

Later, I escaped with my parents, and just a few days ago we arrived in this legendary city.

Unbeknownst to them, Wang Zhuo led Song Qian to a building on the outskirts of the city.

Wang Zhuo pushed open the door and walked in, saying to Song Qian, "Come in quickly."

After entering the room, Song Qian looked at the two pale-faced elderly people and said, "Uncle, Aunt, do you still recognize me?"

After looking her over, the woman said, "You're Song Qian. It's been years since I last saw you. You've grown into a beautiful young woman. I still remember how you and Wang Zhuo would come to my place to study after school."

Song Qian said, "Yes, back then I looked forward to getting out of school so I could go to my aunt's house for a free meal. I still remember the taste of each of her dishes."

The woman said awkwardly, "Unfortunately, in this day and age, even getting enough to eat is a problem, let alone cooking delicious food for you."

Song Qian looked around the two-bedroom apartment and said, "The weather is getting colder every day, how come you don't even have a quilt or a cotton-padded coat?"

Wang Zhuo said awkwardly, "You know my current situation perfectly well."
