On the fourth day after the couple left.
They finally encountered survivors in Wancheng, and they turned out to be a brother and sister.
Looking at the desolate town, Nan Xiangwan thought to herself, "This place has really been ransacked."
Moreover, the fact that they can survive such weather changes shows that these people have some skill.
"Brother, look! Someone got out of that car! And look closely at that lady!"
Li Fu, who was searching for supplies, heard his sister's words, looked up, and saw that she was indeed a beautiful person.
"Brother, you think she's amazing because she's so clean? Xue'er is hungry."
Li Fu looked down at his sister, thinking that he was hungry too. They had barely survived the cold winter, but after spring arrived, even supplies were hard to find.
They hadn't eaten for two days.
At this moment, Nan Xiangwan walked over and asked, "Hello, I'd like to ask if there are any other survivors here?"
Li Fu pulled his sister behind him, watching her warily.
"Is there anything I can help you with?"
Nan Xiangwan noticed the boy's wary expression, but she didn't mind; after all, it's good to be a little cautious in the post-apocalyptic world.
Then he smiled and said, "Hello, we are from the Zhan Nan Base in Beijing. We came out this time mainly to rescue some survivors. After all, we have advanced weapons to fight against zombies and insectoids, which is better than what you are doing now. And as long as you work in the base, you won't go hungry. Would you like to consider it?"
"Really?" Li Fu was a little skeptical.
"Of course, if that's not the case, you can leave as well; we won't force you."
"But before, some people said they were from the base, but after those people left, there was no news of them, and those people didn't look like good people."
Nan Xiangwan frowned slightly upon hearing his words, as if she knew who he was.
Then he asked, "Were all those people carrying weapons?"
"Yeah, and they were really fierce. They said it was an honor for us to be taken by the base. My older brother didn't want to go, but he was forcibly taken away by those people. Anyway, I don't believe they are good people."
However, I don't think you two are bad people. After all, if you were really bad people, there wouldn't be just the two of you.
Nan Xiangwan laughed and said, "It's not a matter of how many bad guys there are. We have a reason for looking for survivors this time. Our base is building an underground city and we need a lot of manpower to complete it. Of course, once you go there, you'll be provided with three meals a day, plus a meat dish every day. So, would you two like to consider it?"
"Brother, Xue'er is hungry. Sister is a good person. Let's go with her, okay?"
Hearing his sister's words, Li Fu felt a little embarrassed and said somewhat apologetically, "Sister, please forgive us. We haven't eaten for two days, and we've almost completely emptied our supplies. Even the things we could use to start a fire for warmth have been burned away."
After hearing this, Nan Xiangwan took out two loaves of bread and two cartons of milk from her backpack and handed them to them. "Eat up. We can talk about other things after you've eaten. You can also tell me about the situation here."
Li Fu looked at the food in her hand, but didn't rush to take it. Instead, he pondered whether or not to eat it.
He was hesitant to eat food given by strangers, worried that he might be kidnapped afterward.
But Li Xue didn't have so many thoughts; she just stared at the food in Nan Xiangwan's hand and swallowed hard.
Seeing that her brother hadn't spoken for a long time, Li Xue said anxiously, "Brother, Xue'er is hungry. I believe that my sister is a good person, and... and even if I have to die, Xue'er wants to die full."
After listening to his sister's words, Li Fu thought it made sense. Since he was going to starve to death anyway, he might as well die of a full stomach. Then, with a look of grim determination, he picked up the food from Nan Xiangwan's hand.
It's not easy to find something funny in the South-facing evening.
"Don't worry, you two. If I really had designs on you, I could carry you away without giving you food. Why waste it?"
Li Fu thought about it and it seemed to be true.
Then he stopped talking and started wolfing down his food with his sister.
They were really hungry.
Nan Xiangwan, worried that they might not have enough to eat, took out two chicken legs from his backpack and handed them to them.
"Here, eat slowly, there's more if you're not full."
Li Xue's eyes lit up instantly when she saw the chicken leg that suddenly appeared in front of her.
She hasn't eaten meat in a long time.
Then I decisively grabbed the chicken leg, tore open the packaging, and started eating.
"Mmm...it's so delicious! Brother, you should have some too. The meat smells so good."
Seeing his younger sister enjoying her food, Li Fu smiled indulgently, then tore open the chicken leg packaging and started eating as well.
Watching the two eat, Nan Xiangwan wasn't in a hurry and just stood aside and waited patiently.
Zhan Siyu leaned against the front of the car, smoking a cigarette.
After the two finished eating, Li Fucai said, "We still have quite a few survivors here, but we are divided into three groups."
There was a group of people who were very powerful, but they were also very malicious, always stealing our food. The second group were relatively normal; they didn't bully others, nor did they allow themselves to be bullied. The third group was like us, a mix of people with superpowers and ordinary people, along with the elderly and children. We were always the ones having our food stolen. If we hadn't been smart enough to hide some food, we probably wouldn't have survived this winter.”
"So where did you all stay this winter?"
“We live in the basement of a building, which is relatively safe.”
"I see. Then you can go back and ask them if they want to come with us. We can drive you back. But let me make this clear: everyone in our base, young and old, male and female, has to work. Of course, do as much as you can, since food is scarce and we don't support idlers. If anyone doesn't want to leave, we won't force them."
Li Fu thought for a moment, then said, "Our accommodation is just behind here. Could you wait outside our accommodation? After all, I'm afraid some people might not believe what I'm saying."
“Okay, whatever you say.” Then she turned to Zhan Siyu and said, “Honey, put the car away and go with them.”
Upon hearing this, Zhan Situ immediately put away his car and walked over.
Seeing how powerful the opponent was, Li Fu thought that this time it must be a miracle from heaven.
They are saved.
Then Li Fu pulled his sister and walked back.
He didn't care whether others wanted to leave or not; he was leaving anyway, since there was no food left, and if he stayed any longer, he would starve to death sooner or later.
Moreover, moving to a different place to survive is not an easy thing.
The outside world is teeming with zombies and insect monsters; anyone without considerable skill would not dare to travel long distances to change locations.
If they're unlucky, they could become food for those monsters.
So he didn't want to miss out on this rare stroke of good luck.
He and his sister must live well.
