Just as the group was about to leave the room, an elderly woman said, "Young men, don't rush off. Could you wait until we finish eating before you go?"
As soon as the woman finished speaking, a portly middle-aged man chimed in, "That's right, that's right! You should wait until we finish eating before you leave. Otherwise, we won't be able to deal with the zombies. What are we going to do if you just leave like this?"
Tang Yan was amused by the two men and said, "Who are we to you? You think we have to wait for you to finish eating before we leave? You're overthinking it."
After saying that, she didn't intend to pay any more attention to these people and was about to leave. However, Tang Yan underestimated their shamelessness. The middle-aged woman who had spoken first suddenly grabbed Tang Yan and said:
“You can’t leave. You brought us here, so you have to take responsibility for us.”
Tang Yan angrily shook off the middle-aged woman who was grabbing her clothes and said, "Did we beg you to come along, or did we force you to come along at knifepoint?"
The older woman argued illogically, saying, "Young lady, you can't say that. Look, if you don't clear away the zombies on the road, we won't come downstairs, and if we don't come downstairs, we can't follow you."
Now that you've brought us out, it's your responsibility to get us all to the survivor camp.
Yuan Chuyi suddenly interrupted, asking, "What survivor camp? How did you find out we were going there?"
The older woman smiled and looked at Yuan Chuyi, saying, "Of course I heard it on the radio. Didn't they say it on the radio?"
Someone has set up a survivor camp at the radio station, urging citizens to seek refuge there. Aren't you all going to the radio station?
Yuan Chuyi searched through her memories of her past life. She had never heard of anyone setting up a survivor camp at the radio station in her previous life. Perhaps this camp was destroyed not long afterward.
Yuan Chuyi ignored the old woman who was still chattering away.
Instead, he looked up at the sky and saw layers of dark clouds gathering there. He said to the others, "Let's hurry up, it looks like it's going to rain."
After encountering the level one zombie, Tang Yan and Zheng Shuang are still at the forefront, but judging from their movements, they have clearly lost the carefree attitude they had at the beginning.
Moreover, they dealt with the charging zombies in the simplest and most effortless way. Seeing the two of them moving with such composure, Yuan Chuyi smiled with satisfaction and then sped up to run to the front and said something to them.
As the two women in front continued to sever the zombies' hands, and as more and more zombies appeared, they gradually separated the two groups.
The group, led by a middle-aged man, watched as a zombie with missing limbs struggled and lunged at them on the road ahead. One middle-aged woman, unable to bear the psychological pressure any longer, screamed and ran towards a nearby gas station.
As the middle-aged woman led the way in fleeing, the group scattered like dominoes falling. Although the middle-aged man was shouting loudly, it was too late.
Watching Yuan Chu scatter in the distance, he curled his lip and thought to himself: If it weren't for the image he had in the eyes of his teammates, I would have 100 ways to deal with bloodsuckers like you.
Led by the two women, the group returned safely to the alley where the base vehicle was parked.
Yuan Chuyi looked at the group of people. Instead of inviting the rescued people into the base vehicle like he had invited Zheng Shuang, he pried open a clothing store next door.
The group followed Yuan Chuyi inside. Yuan Chuyi looked at the summer clothes hanging around her, shook her head and said, "The weather is getting colder and colder, we need to prepare some items for the event."
He turned to the rescued people and said, "Tell me your thoughts, what are your plans?"
Zhou Yu spoke first: "The world today is a completely new world, and at the same time, it is a world where the strong prey on the weak."
In this new world, if you don't have the power, you have no right to choose anything for yourself, and you might even live worse than a dog.
You can either surrender yourself to fate and live day by day, or you can fight fate and write your own life story with a knife in your hand.
A round of applause rang out, and Yuan Chuyi said to Zhou Yu, "I admire you more and more!"
"What about you guys?" she asked, turning to the others. Wang Xuan and Huang Chunyan added, "We also want to use the knives in our hands to control our own destiny."
Yuan Chuyi looked at the boy.
After hesitating for a long time, the boy raised the fire axe in his hand and said, "I will use this axe to kill all the evil in this world."
Tang Yan couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Little brother, let me ask you, how do you distinguish between a bad person and an evil person?"
The boy scratched his head awkwardly and said, "I'm not very good at talking, but I know you and your older brother are good people, otherwise you wouldn't have risked your life to save people."
Yuan Chuyi looked at the group and said, "Now I'm asking you, are you willing to join my team? Don't force yourselves."
Several people said at the same time, "We are willing! We are willing! We are willing to follow our eldest brother and sister-in-law!" As they spoke, they looked at Tang Yan beside them.
Yuan Chu glanced at Tang Yan, whose face was as red as an apple, but didn't say anything. Instead, she said, "Then you should all introduce yourselves, what your special skills are, etc."
"I am Zhou Yu, a student at Lin University. My special skill is that I know a little bit of Taekwondo."
"I am Wang Xuan, and I am also a student at Lin University. My specialty is computers."
“I am Huang Chunyan, and I also come from Linda University. I don’t have any special skills. I know how to farm, but I don’t know if that counts.”
"My name is Zhao Lei, and I'm from the School of Architectural Engineering. My specialty is architectural design."
After pondering for a moment, Yuan Chuyi said, "My team doesn't have any particularly demanding requirements. Zheng Shuang will explain the specifics to you."
As she spoke, Yuan Chuyi walked to the side, picked up a cigarette, put it in her mouth, and the sound of a lighter rang out. Then, Tang Yan had already placed the flame under the cigarette.
Yuan Chuyi looked at Tang Yan's profile in the hazy moonlight. Her features were so defined, with thin, dark eyebrows and a high nose bridge, and a small mouth that was exhaling smoke.
He didn't realize what was happening until the rain splashed on his face. He quickly shook his head, cursing inwardly: What was I thinking? I almost forgot I was supposed to add team members in the system.
He quickly opened the system, and with a series of system notifications indicating successful addition, Yuan Chuyi took out several sleeping bags and some food from his space and placed them at the clothing store's cashier.
Yuan Chuyi looked at Zheng Shuang, who was still talking to the others, and said, "Come and eat, everyone. Are my rules that complicated? I've been talking for so long."
Looking at the pile of boxed lunches on the cashier's counter, Zhou Yu and his friends, who hadn't had a proper meal in days, stared at the lunches like wolves.
"What are you looking at? Hurry up and eat! Don't just stand there!" After seeing Yuan Chuyi take one and start eating, the others boldly picked up their own and stuffed it into their mouths.
Zheng Shuang pointed at the three women and laughed, scolding them, "Can you guys be a little more mindful of your image? How can you eat like this? You're supposed to be beauties from Lin University, after all."
While shoveling food into his mouth, Zhou Yu mumbled, "You're a well-fed man who doesn't know the hunger of an empty man. You make it sound so easy."
"I haven't had a proper meal in days, just what those bitches left behind. And at night I get ridden by those disgusting men. Do you know how hard it is for me?!"
At this point, tears mingled with food and sobs among the crowd.
