What if I'm a Bad Artist? I Lie Down and Win with a Divine Brush

After six years in the apocalypse, Xi Xi tragically died at the hands of her aunt's family. Unexpectedly, she was reborn on the day the apocalypse began. Just as she was preparing to leverage h...

Chapter 319 Time Will Tell

Chu Zhiqin, standing to the side, snorted coldly, her face grim. If this wasn't considered "harm," then all of Xi Xi's claims about her past life were probably orchestrated by Chu Wenwen.

Chu Wenwen may not have directly drawn her sword and held it to her throat, but she clearly tacitly approved that all kinship ties could be sacrificed for her personal interests, even to the point of pushing her relatives into the fire.

In a sense, this method of killing is even more insidious and ruthless.

Now that Chu Wenwen's husband has passed away and her unborn child has also died, it is naturally impossible to pursue the matter further.

However, what chilled Chu Zhiqin the most was Chu Wenwen herself, after all, she was her twin sister from the same father and mother.

Chu Wenwen's face flushed red and then turned pale.

Xi Zhongcang stepped forward at the opportune moment and said, "We certainly don't know those people as well as you do. But we know very well what you're plotting. Our family will not go to your organization, so just give up on that idea."

Seeing the Xi family's resolute attitude, Chu Wenwen knew she wouldn't get away with it today.

Feeling embarrassed, she could only glare at Chu Zhiqin and feign grievance, saying, "Fine, you all treat me like an outsider, huh! You'll regret this later! You've taken my kindness for granted..."

After saying that, she stormed off.

Chu Wenwen returned to her camp in a fit of rage, cursing Chu Zhiqin's family all the way. She was filled with resentment, but on the surface she pretended to be calm and collected, avoiding the gazes of those around the camp.

When she returned to the cooking camp and tried to get some rice porridge as usual, she was surprised to find that the once bustling crowd had already dispersed, and even the large pot of food was nowhere to be seen.

"Where's Lao Wei who's supposed to be serving lunch today?" Chu Wenwen asked anxiously, starting to inquire around.

Just then, a bald man carrying an empty food bucket walked by. Seeing this, Chu Wenwen quickly chased after him and blocked his path.

"Why is this food bucket empty?" Chu Wenwen asked, her eyes wide, pointing at the bucket. "I haven't eaten yet!"

"It's all been distributed already." The bald man stopped, glanced at Chu Wenwen, and replied irritably, "You know it's time to get off work? If you don't come when you're supposed to, no one will wait for you after dinner!"

Undeterred, Chu Wenwen resorted to her usual diplomatic tactics, casually making up a story: "Old Yu, you see, I'm late because of work for the organization. Ah, I really have urgent business to attend to… Today is also the anniversary of my husband's death, could you make an exception for me next time…"

"What urgent business do you have now?! Don't try to fool me with this again!" After saying that, the bald man turned around and continued walking forward, muttering to himself, "You've spoiled me rotten... You really think you're the head of the organization, having people bring your food to your bedside?"

Chu Wenwen was trembling with anger. What happened? Why wasn't playing the victim and feigning weakness working today?

A few people who were shoveling rice porridge into their bowls nearby couldn't help but sneer at the sight.

"You didn't do much work, but you ate just as much as you wanted. Now you're getting your comeuppance!"

"Can someone calculate how many anniversaries her husband has died?! This is just profiting off human blood..."

"They're probably asking her how many husbands she has, hahaha!"

"Didn't they go to visit relatives? After eating meat, do you think they'd still look at our bland, watery food?"

"Pah, you're even eating meat... I was watching closely just now, and she didn't get a single bite. You can't even treat your own relatives well. Looks like your character is really terrible!"

"You know what, the family of three next door gave Captain Liu a bag of instant noodles because of a piece of candy he gave them. They seemed like they knew how to repay kindness. But how come they treat Old Chu like this..."

"Time will tell!"

...

When a wall falls, everyone pushes it down. The masses, who usually keep to themselves and don't care about things that don't concern them, are now criticizing Chu Wenwen. Even those who are on good terms with Chu Wenwen have surprisingly refrained from speaking up to stop her, clearly having reservations about Chu Wenwen's evasive behavior throughout the day.

Finally, it was the scarred man who stepped forward and asked if anyone was willing to participate in tonight's scouting mission, which diverted everyone's attention.

It is said that the short-haired woman, who is also the scarred man's sister, unexpectedly discovered that the bridge across the sea in front of her had split into three forks.

The workload is enormous, and it is difficult to complete it with our own manpower alone, so we are seeking help from the logistics department.

The scarred man announced that everyone participating in the reconnaissance mission would receive a compressed biscuit as a reward. Those who had initially hesitated immediately perked up and eagerly signed up.

Chu Wenwen didn't say much, her stomach was still empty. As soon as she heard there was food, she pushed her way forward and signed up, regardless of what it was.

Even the short, plump aunt who had always harbored resentment towards Chu Wenwen got involved. She had always disliked Chu Wenwen, this middle-aged woman who relied on her looks to flaunt her virginity and act like a hypocrite.

At this moment, she felt incredibly relieved that Chu Wenwen's hypocritical mask had finally been torn off! As a result, she was more enthusiastic about what she was doing tonight.

In addition to the scarred man and his family leading the nighttime reconnaissance team, the "Wildfire" organization also included several Black people.

These black people even joined the organization earlier than Chu Wenwen. They often used their skin color to conduct reconnaissance and investigation at night. However, since entering the polar day, this group has inexplicably become conspicuous.

The most important thing in reconnaissance is to stay hidden, so the reconnaissance team was short-handed.

The team Chu Wenwen was assigned to was led by a tall, strong, dark-skinned woman. The woman seemed to dislike Chu Wenwen, her brow furrowing as she called out names from the list.

Chu Wenwen, who was good at reading people, immediately noticed the change in Hei Mei's expression and lowered her head somewhat guiltily.
