Chapter 184 The Citizens Who Followed?

Mu Qingyu saw through Gao Yingwei's thoughts, rolled her eyes at him and said, "I'm not wrong! I am a dual-elemental ability user with both strength and speed, and I am better than everyone else, so naturally I am the most powerful person in our village."

She wasn't lying; she really was the most capable person in the whole village.

"A dual-elemental ability user?" Gao Yingwei seemed somewhat surprised. He had noticed her speed before, as there were speed-type ability users in his team, so it wasn't unusual. There were also strength-type ability users, but this was the first time he had seen someone with dual-elemental abilities.

Mu Qingyu nodded: "Haven't you seen it before?"

Gao Yingwei laughed: "This is really the first time I've seen this before. You're really quite impressive."

He thought for a moment, then finally asked, "Your village originally wanted the supplies here, right? Now that we've taken them, what are you going to do?"

Mu Qingyu glanced at him and snorted coldly, "What can we do? Find another place. This isn't the first time something like this has happened." She said nonchalantly.

Of course, she was actually talking about her past life.

In the apocalypse, no one cares about first come, first served; it's all about killing and looting. Whoever finds the goods first, whoever has the most people and the strongest voice, doesn't matter!

If you can't beat them, you just have to accept it!

In her past life, Mu Qingyu teamed up with ordinary people and often encountered teams of superhumans trying to steal her things. They could never win the fight and could only give in.

It's good enough if you can get away unscathed; some people want more than just things—they want lives too…

When Gao Yingwei and his gang came over with guns, Mu Qingyu just let them have what they wanted—she had already taken the big stuff anyway!

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so open about asking them for information.

If she hadn't taken the items, she would hide and play hide-and-seek with them, prying open the warehouse one by one before they did, since she had space anyway.

So what if she's slow at picking locks? She's fast at taking things! While those people are still moving things from one warehouse, she's already taken things from over a dozen warehouses...

"Excuse me for asking, where are you headed? Or are you just out looking for supplies? But your district isn't close to here," Mu Qingyu asked.

“We’re heading north,” Gao Yingwei said. Their destination wasn’t a secret; anyone who asked could simply say, “Towards the capital or the military region.”

Mu Qingyu nodded understandingly and did not ask any further questions.

At this moment, some young soldiers had already packed some things and, braving the rain, brought them over and stuffed them into Mu Qingyu's car.

He must have been instructed by Gao Yingwei to go and retrieve it.

Mu Qingyu looked closely and saw that they had only taken food and drinks; they hadn't taken any toilet paper from her. These soldiers were really kind.

"We specifically chose the top part of the food for you. The things at the bottom of the warehouse may have been soaked in water, and if they are contaminated, they cannot be eaten," the soldier who came to move the things kindly reminded Mu Qingyu.

Mu Qingyu nodded, but she was still quite puzzled: "You knew that the food and water downstairs might be contaminated, so why did you still move them into the car?"

The soldiers fell silent, but Gao Yingwei answered Mu Qingyu's questions.

“There are some places, some people, who have nothing to eat, they even want to gnaw on the grass roots on the ground. Those things can be given to them…” Gao Yingwei’s face was gloomy, but then a mocking smile appeared on his face: “Do you think I’m particularly hypocritical? Knowing that the food is contaminated, I still give it to others?”

Mu Qingyu glanced at him and shook her head: "Pollution may not mean absolute pollution. No matter how bad this is, it's better than eating dirt. Let's gamble with God!"

She genuinely didn't see anything wrong with it. No one is a savior; they do what they can, and when they can't save others, they can only take care of themselves first. Only after they're well can they think about others.

Mu Qingyu is in this situation now. She has enough resources for herself, enough for her family to eat and live on for a hundred years, so she is thinking about building the village and supporting the people in the village.

She had a lot of supplies in that space, but currently it could only support the people of one village. Any more than that would put her own reserves in danger.

Gao Yingwei was the same; he had a large group of soldiers to support! Even if he wanted to help others out of kindness, he had to ensure his own safety first.

Therefore, even though Gao Yingwei knew that Mu Qingyu had arrived first and had cleared out the mutated giant rats, he still wanted to take the supplies here.

He's the kind of person who's good at leading a team, unlike Xiao Shiyang, who is a good person but will ultimately ruin the people around him.

"Haha, thank you for understanding." Gao Yingwei laughed, but there was still a hint of bitterness in his smile. He was a soldier, and his duty was to protect the people.

But he couldn't do it. He felt he was neither a saint nor a savior. He could help others, but he wouldn't be above himself or his comrades.

Today, Mu Qingyu did not argue with them about who arrived first. If Mu Qingyu had insisted on arguing, he might have been tempted to kill them!

"You're welcome. Just fill my car completely, and I'll have something to show for it when I get back," Mu Qingyu said calmly.

Compared to the supplies in the entire Huisheng Garden, the truckload that Mu Qingyu wanted was really nothing.

However, Gao Yingwei and his team's "good luck" seemed to have ended there. After that, most of the warehouses they "opened" were either empty or contained only a few items.

Those items with contents were naturally leftovers that Mu Qingyu didn't want, while the empty ones were either originally empty or had been taken by Mu Qingyu.

However, they were still luckier than Mu Qingyu. Mu Qingyu thought she had searched the entire Huisheng Garden, but she didn't expect to find two inconspicuous small warehouses and the Huisheng Garden staff canteen in the dark corners.

Gao Yingwei's men found supplies inside.

Tonight, Gao Yingwei returned with a full harvest without losing a single soldier.

"Captain, the truck is full, but there are still some things left. Should we distribute them to the accompanying citizens?" The soldier named Xiao Wu came over again to ask for instructions.

Mu Qingyu's car was completely crammed in from back to front, including the passenger seat. Now, only the driver's seat was empty; there wasn't a single gap in the rest of the car.

It's likely that when these soldiers opened the warehouse blind boxes, they saw many mutated giant rat corpses. They also knew that if it weren't for Mu Qingyu tonight, they would be the ones facing these mutated giant rats!

If they had encountered the mutated giant rat not in the wine warehouse, but in another warehouse, then they would really have had to fight it hand to hand!

Even if they have guns, they have limited ammunition. Even if there are superhumans among them, there are many ordinary people as well.

We are able to acquire a large amount of supplies without firing a single shot, all thanks to Mu Qingyu!
