Chapter 341 Even composting doesn't make the land strong.

The woman in the red cotton-padded jacket picked up the steel bar that had fallen beside her and poked the person closest to her. "Hey, are you still alive?"

There was no response from the other party.

Logically speaking, someone so badly injured should be convulsing on the ground in pain.

Something was definitely wrong with that it wasn't moving at all.

The woman in the red cotton-padded jacket mustered her courage and stepped forward to check. "Dead, dead?"

Her voice was filled with shock and surprise.

It wasn't fear, it was surprise.

The woman in the red cotton-padded jacket looked up at Meng Shiwan and the other two, her face filled with shock.

That woman just kicked those guys to death with a single kick? How much strength does that take?

Those who happened to witness this scene looked at the three of them with a newfound scrutiny and caution, no longer as if they were prey.

To kick a group of people to death with one kick, and at an extremely fast speed, is something that ordinary people simply cannot do.

Sure enough, those who still have a full face are all capable people, and you should think twice before provoking them.

Otherwise, this is what will happen to us.

The woman in the red cotton-padded jacket asked excitedly, "Um... do you still want the body?"

Meng Shiwan: ...

Ye Sangyu: ? ? ?

Sai Xishi: (each)

They assumed that when someone approached them to speak, it was to beg for pity, food, water, or something similar.

To my utter surprise, the first thing I heard was, "Do you still want the body?"

What kind of question is that? What use would they have for a corpse?

Ye Sangyu tentatively asked, "You don't want it anymore?"

What could she say? Did she want it? What was the point of keeping it, to use it as fertilizer?

Those people were all skin and bones; they wouldn't grow strong even if they were composted.

Upon hearing this, the woman swiftly grabbed two bodies and held them tightly in her arms. Before she could grab a third, they had already been snatched away by others.

Some people even stared at the corpse in her arms, trying to reach out and snatch it.

The woman, like a mother hen protecting her chicks, waved the steel bar in her hand forcefully, warning them, "Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer! If you dare to come any closer, I'll kill you! Get lost! What I've taken is mine!"

But the people around him still lingered, showing no intention of giving up.

They were so enthusiastic about the corpses that it was almost eerily so.

Ye Sangyu seemed to have thought of something, and felt nauseous again. "Could it be, could it be..."

Meng Shiwan shook her head. "No, if the survivors of the Fierce Bear Base had fallen to this state, acting openly and honestly, and utterly devoid of conscience, the Seed Base would have wiped them out no matter what. They wouldn't have allowed the Fierce Bear Base to be so arrogant until now. It shouldn't be like that."

But she also wanted to know what these people wanted the corpses for.

Meng Shiwan stepped forward, stood next to the woman in the red cotton-padded jacket, and coldly said, "Get out of my way."

Those who had been eyeing the situation with predatory intent reluctantly retreated.

Having witnessed Meng Shiwan's prowess, they dare not provoke her now.

The woman in the red cotton-padded jacket looked up at the three of them and gave them a grateful smile. "Thank you."

She still clung tightly to the two corpses, as if afraid they would fly away into thin air.

Ye Sangyu frowned. "What do you need these corpses for?"

The woman grinned. "A corpse, a corpse is a good thing."

As she spoke, she began to peel off the clothes from the corpse. If she found any good ones that she could put on herself, she would put them on. If she couldn't put them on, she would try to wrap them together and tie them to her body.

It will get colder and colder in the future, and every inch of fabric will be precious.

Ye Sangyu asked, "Is it because of the clothes they're wearing?"

The woman shook her head. "Not entirely, they can feed people."

Seeing the increasingly strange looks in the three men's eyes, the woman looked at them with surprise, "Don't you know?"

Ye Sangyu asked, puzzled, "What should we know?"

The woman looked at them suspiciously. "Did you just arrive? Here, a corpse can be exchanged for a can of meat. You didn't know that?"

After saying that, she regretted it a little, "You said you didn't want it, but this body is mine now, you can't take it back."

The three understood; so that's how it is.

A corpse can be exchanged for a can of meat, and canned meat is a rare commodity, no wonder they would fight over it.

The woman stripped the two corpses naked, put her clothes on her back, grabbed the corpses' arms, and dragged them away.

Meng Shiwan spoke up, "We don't want the body anymore. Can you take us to see where they exchange meat for canned goods?"

The woman said warily, "Are you sure you don't want it? Don't try to steal my canned meat later."

Sai Xishi grew impatient. "Oh dear, why do you talk so much? My Wanwan has already said no, and that's it. Are you asking so many questions just to flirt with my Wanwan? My Wanwan doesn't like you."

woman:……

She glared at Sai Xishi, forcefully suppressing the urge to get angry.

"Then come with me."

She struggled to drag the two corpses forward, while Meng Shiwan and the other two followed slowly behind, observing their surroundings.

Meng Shiwan casually asked the woman walking in front, "How do you usually make a living?"

The woman gave a bitter smile. "Living? Is this still considered living? We're just not dead yet. We sell ourselves for food, scavenge corpses for canned goods, and live one day at a time."

Ye Sangyu asked, "What if we can't find the body?"

The woman laughed, "What else can we do if we can't find it? We'll just starve to death and let others pick up our corpses."

Ye Sangyu: ...

"Didn't the Fierce Bear Base give you any food, or offer you any jobs where you could get food? How are so many survivors surviving?"

The woman seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world. "Are you dreaming? Providing food and jobs? The higher-ups in the base are already showing mercy by not beheading us. How could they possibly give us food?"

"If you're new here, you should leave if you can. Staying in this lousy base is no different than waiting to die."

Her words reveal a deep despair for life.

But in such a living environment, even the strongest heart would probably break down.

While they were chatting, several people suddenly rushed out of an alley, snatched the corpse from the woman's hands, and ran away.

The woman screamed in terror, "My body! That's mine! Give it back to me! Give it back to me!"

She pulled out the steel bar and went after him.

When Meng Shiwan saw this scene, she couldn't describe how she felt.

She thought her past life was miserable enough, but seeing the scene before her, it was even more miserable than her previous life.

They survived by collecting corpses, and when they couldn't make a living, they died and had their bodies collected by others.

What kind of survival rule is this? It sounds like raising poisonous insects, right? Only the most capable survive.

Meng Shiwan flashed away, and when she reappeared, she was already in front of the two robbers.

She raised her foot and kicked another one to death, turning the two corpses on the ground into four.
