Xu Xing was overjoyed to have encountered such a desirable opportunity.
This is much more gratifying than tripping over two level-three crystal cores while walking.
Although we can't see any effect right now, that's because the current situation is too turbulent. Not to mention moving forward, human society as a whole is rapidly regressing.
However, once our strength reaches another level and the territories of the entire Earth are re-divided, an era of multiple powers vying for supremacy will begin.
In the post-apocalyptic era, population is actually the primary productive force, and food is the guarantee of population.
Even forces with tens or hundreds of thousands of members, as they grow stronger, will struggle to find food.
Only by possessing the power of plant-based ability users can their advantages gradually come into play.
Just like the case Xu Xing knew in his previous life, where a zombie outbreak occurred, but his whole family was lucky enough to survive.
To escape the zombies, they ran into an air-raid shelter left over from the War of Resistance against Japan.
Although it was dark and damp inside, a lot of rainwater seeped down, solving the family's drinking water problem.
The man, who was the head of the family, unexpectedly awakened a plant-based superpower. He found potatoes that his daughter was required to cultivate in her small schoolbag.
By continuously accelerating the ripening process, they can gradually become self-sufficient.
Even after gaining great power, they gradually absorbed the surrounding survivors, and in the end, they developed into a sizable force without relying on force.
For Xu Xing, it was a perfect match. With his spatial ability, he could take away any amount of food that came, without any waste.
Although their strength is very low, apart from certain plant-based ability users, no organization would consider them as combat personnel.
They're usually too busy protecting them to let them get involved in any conflicts.
Realizing this effect, Xu Xing quickly took out some easily absorbed milk powder from his spatial storage and mixed it with mineral water.
Since no hot water was used, it naturally turned into a paste-like consistency.
Xu Xing used his telekinesis to guide the porridge, feeding it little by little into the mouth of the superhuman.
Perhaps sensing the moisture on his lips, the plant-based ability user pursed his lips.
Upon tasting the flavor, the thirsty body instinctively swallowed, and the continuous cries for help ceased.
Xu Xing didn't dare to feed him too much at once. If someone who hadn't had a drop of water for so many days were to suddenly consume a large amount of food, it could very likely cause acute gastric dilatation, and in severe cases, it could even "choke to death."
The milk powder had an immediate effect; after only a few sips, other parts of the body reacted, and the plant-type ability user soon woke up.
My eyes, which I had just opened, were still frozen in fear, and my whole body was contracting inward with all my might.
It wasn't until she saw Xu Xing standing opposite her, and realized that he was a normal human being, that she glanced outside and realized there was nothing else going on, and then she gradually calmed down.
Her eyes still held doubt and fear, and she didn't even have the courage to meet Xu Xing's gaze.
Seeing this, Xu Xing didn't offer much comfort, but simply said in a normal tone, "I've already killed the zombie at the door, so it's safe here for now."
The situation outside is far more brutal than anything you've experienced before; over 90% of the world's population has turned into the zombies you see now.
You're lucky to have met me now.
So I'm giving you two choices. One is to join us. You should be able to feel your own abilities. As long as you're talented, I won't treat you unfairly.
Second, stay here!
Upon hearing that he should stay, the superhuman hurriedly shook his head in fear, saying, "No...don't."
Xu Xing: "So you're choosing option one?"
"I..." The superhuman suddenly fell silent, then recalled his experiences over the past few days, combined with Xu Xing's description.
After a quick internal struggle, he nodded: "I'll go with you, no... but I have one more condition."
Xu Xing thought to himself, "Damn it, saving you requires conditions. He's always the one negotiating with others, but this time it's the other way around. If it weren't for your special ability, I would have left you to fend for yourself long ago."
However, he said something else entirely: "Tell me first."
"Um... I'm a teacher at the school next door. My home is in that villa area not far from the school, and my parents live there too..."
Upon hearing this, Xu Xing immediately understood that she wanted him to help her arrange things for her parents as well.
In fact, even if you support two more people, it would still be an incredibly profitable business, since they are just two ordinary people and consuming a little food wouldn't be a big deal.
The only thing is... Xu Xing also lives in the villa area, and no one knows the situation there better than him.
The reality is...
"To tell you the truth, the settlement I set up is located in that villa area, and I already swept through it all a couple of days ago."
Judging from your age, you must be quite old. I have to remind you that there are no people over 50 years old in that villa area.
The oldest among them was only in their forties, and they were all women.
The reality is often cruel; when Xu Xing raided the villa area that day, he didn't even see a single elderly survivor.
Even if her parents were rescued, it would be quite troublesome, because Xu Xing had already killed all the original male survivors.
This era is destined to be one of survival of the fittest; those who cannot adapt will be eliminated.
As soon as Xu Xing finished speaking, the superhuman was stunned as if struck by lightning.
After a while, she finally came to her senses, covered her head with her hands, and wept bitterly, her whole body trembling uncontrollably.
When Xu Xing saw this, he sighed, walked over, patted her on the shoulder, and prepared to comfort her.
There was nothing that could be done about it; psychological damage is often more terrifying than physical damage. Xu Xing was truly afraid that this survivor would be unable to resist taking his own life.
"No matter what, you must live on, live on in place of your parents' will, and live on for them."
"But……"
Xu Xing interrupted her directly.
"There are no 'buts'. Living well is the greatest gratitude. I know your concerns, and I can tell you very clearly that I only have one requirement for you, and that is loyalty!"
After saying that, Xu Xing placed a box of tissues on the table and took out some water and canned instant food.
One last piece of advice: "Eat something nice for yourself. I have some things to take care of, but I'll come pick you up after I'm done. Take some time to think things through."
After saying that, Xu Xing turned and left the room.
He believed that this superhuman, as an adult, should understand the pros and cons.
