From a corner, a sissy voice said, "You thought you were invincible? Why aren't you standing up now? Get up!"
The crowd standing nearby shouted, "Second Boss is mighty and domineering, invincible!"
The effeminate man made a shushing gesture and said, "When fighting these undead, you have to kill them in one hit, otherwise they'll keep drinking those potions that quickly heal their injuries."
In a corridor, Secretary Wang, covered in blood, ran quickly toward a room door and kicked it open.
At this moment, Wang Shao, who was still sleeping with a young delinquent girl in his arms, said sleepily, "Dad, what happened to you? Why are you covered in blood?"
Secretary Wang angrily cursed, "You little brat, get up right now, or this shelter is doomed!"
Wang Shao probably hadn't realized the seriousness of the situation and was still saying, "What's going on? Weren't you guys going to attack that new guy who came to Ice City? Why are you back now?"
Secretary Wang, hearing his son still asking questions, felt a surge of anger rising to his head. He quickly stepped forward, yanked back the covers, and slapped him across the face, saying, "I told you to get up, what are you dawdling about?"
Meanwhile, the young delinquent girl next to her didn't even care about her exposed body, and instead hurriedly got off the ground to put on her clothes.
Seeing her son still in a daze, Secretary Wang cursed, "You're not even as good as a whore! How could I have given birth to such a useless thing like you!"
Only then did Wang Shao belatedly realize the seriousness of the situation, and he quickly put on his clothes.
Secretary Wang paced anxiously around the room. He saw his son, who was already dressed, grab him and pull him away from the room.
Just then, a girl's voice rang out, "Young Master Wang, wait for me!"
Secretary Wang gave the girl a cold look and said, "It's best for us to run away now."
The girl quickly said, "I'm pregnant with your Wang family's child!"
Secretary Wang looked at his son with a puzzled expression.
Wang Shao looked at his father and said, "She should have gotten her period last week, but it hasn't come yet. Maybe... maybe what she said is true."
Secretary Wang frowned and said, "Hurry up and catch up."
Late at night, a minibus was speeding away from the official shelter.
The hundreds of thousands of people in the shelter were unaware that a battle that could change their fate was taking place not far from them.
Looking at the three dead team members, Yuan Chuyi said with regret, "I know that the departure of these brothers and sisters who have been with you day and night must make you very sad."
But in this damn world, people die every single day! I hope those of you who are alive will cherish your relationships even more, because you never know when we might be the ones dying!
Tang Yan continued, "Remember to bring the remains of these brothers back. We must give these fallen brothers a proper burial!"
Yuan Chuyi looked at the slightly brightening sky and said, "The five groups are preparing to take over the official shelter. Anyone who resists will be eliminated."
Tang Yan whispered to Yuan Chu, "It's more appropriate for me to go with you. You go back and transfer Lin Qing's people over for a while."
Don't forget, there are still two places waiting for us to go.
Yuan Chu nodded and said, "Then I'll leave this place to you. I'll go back and have Lin Qing and the others come over to help you."
As the first rays of sunlight shone on the official gathering place, people who were used to getting up early prepared to go out in groups of three or five to collect supplies, just like always.
A boy rushed back and said, "Aunt Ma, Uncle Liu, something terrible has happened! The entire shelter has been taken over by someone else."
A weak voice said, "It doesn't matter who takes over; it's us ordinary people who are starving and freezing."
The boy said eagerly, "This time it might be different. This time a beautiful woman has taken over, and she said that from today onwards everyone will be well-fed and clothed."
Uncle Liu said, "You're still young. When judging a person, don't look at what they say, look at what they do."
The boy pulled Uncle Liu aside and said, "I understand the logic, but they're distributing supplies at the West Gate right now. You'll see the mountains of rice when you get there."
Uncle Liu asked with some skepticism, "Young man, are you telling the truth?"
The boy said somewhat angrily, "Uncle, believe it or not, I've told you, and now I'm going to tell other people."
In a plaza at the official shelter, Tang Yan stood on a makeshift platform and shouted to the endless stream of people arriving below:
"Now that we have taken over this shelter, I don't know what kind of life everyone lived before, but I guarantee that from now on, those who follow orders and obey commands will never go hungry."
However, those who think they can just sit around and wait to die should be careful; I don't tolerate idlers here.
Immediately, the people below began to discuss it.
A sleazy-looking man said, "That sounds nice, but what if we attract the zombies?"
"Judging from this girl's appearance, she shouldn't be a wicked person," an old man said.
"You can't judge a book by its cover. Anyway, this meal is free!" the young man said dismissively.
As Tang Yan watched the people below receive their food, she mentally assessed the resources in her spatial storage.
She was shocked when she did the calculation; the daily consumption of around 200,000 survivors was indeed considerable.
Although there is enough food in the space to feed hundreds of thousands of people for a year, who knows what will happen in the future.
She suddenly regretted what she had said, and just then, the arrival of Lin Qing and his group interrupted her thoughts.
Tang Yan returned to Phoenix Tower in a daze after a busy day. Yuan Chuyi immediately noticed something was wrong and hurriedly asked Tang Yan what had happened.
Tang Yan sighed and said, "Honey, I think I did something wrong."
So she told them about the promise she had made to the shelter that day.
"I had assumed that these suffering ordinary people were no different from the people of the legendary city."
Who would have thought that most of them had done some unspeakable, despicable things?
I suddenly regretted saying those words.
Yuan Chuyi hugged Tang Yan and comforted her, saying, "The legendary city is an exception because when we built it, it was still in the early stages of the apocalypse. The survivors at that time still retained some kindness in their hearts."
We didn't exploit them; on the contrary, we provided them with a lot of help.
The situation is different for the people in Ice City. In fact, the lower the level of the survivors, the more intense the competition becomes in this post-apocalyptic world where food and clothing are scarce.
Think about it, how many people in a city of ten million could die from zombies, while these 200,000 survivors had to step over countless others to stay alive.
Tang Yan said angrily, "So, according to you, all 200,000 people should die?"
Yuan Chu smiled and said, "Then let me ask you, if a cat eats a mouse, is the mouse really at fault?"
You don't really need to care what these people did in the past; it's just that the current environment and way of life have reverted to a naked era of survival of the fittest.
