In the dim light, the door opened.
"You are not from Quzhou." Wei's voice was hoarse but firm.
He Zhuo raised his eyebrows: "Sister, how did you know?"
"Last night's commotion..." Wei Wei's fingertips unconsciously stroked her daughter's hair. "Is it because of you?"
Lu Xici crossed his arms and said, "Since you've figured it out, why don't you speak frankly?"
"The center of Quzhou..." Wei suddenly started coughing violently, Jiujiu quickly patted her on the back: "There are no young people left, let alone people with outstanding temperament like you!"
He Zhuo dragged a creaking wooden chair over and sat down: "Sister, what do you mean by this?"
Thinking about the food and medicine given by the few people, Wei Wei said in a slightly slower tone: "For the sake of the food and medicine you gave me, I advise you to leave as soon as possible!"
Lu Nange took out a few bags of compressed biscuits from his backpack and placed them on the table: "Hello, can I ask the Su family?"
Wei's hand paused in her daughter's hair and she glanced at Lu Beiye.
After a long while, he said, "My sister Wei is here."
She raised her slightly cloudy eyes: "The current Quyu... is the Su family's hunting ground. We, the survivors outside, are just... bargaining chips in Su Zeli's hands."
Chi Yanzhou frowned slightly: "Sister Wei, what do you mean by chips?"
Wei Wei's eyes swept over these young men with outstanding looks. There was not a trace of fluctuation in their eyes when they looked at the hideous scar on her face.
She pulled the corners of her mouth, revealing a smile that was uglier than crying.
"When the apocalypse first broke out, the Su family used the banner of building a defense line for humanity." Her nails dug deep into her palms: "They tricked the military, the superpowers, and the young and middle-aged people into the Su family's base camp."
"When they have cleared all the zombies on the street..." She suddenly started coughing violently, as if she was going to cough out her lungs.
"The food and drinks at the celebration banquet were laced with poison. Only by taking antidotes regularly can we survive."
Her bloodshot eyes stared at the ground: “Those who resisted died at the celebration banquet that night.
The remaining old, weak, women and children in Quzhou can only survive in Quzhou if they have relatives of people with special abilities or young people working in the Su family.
The rest of the people either turned into zombies or became black smoke in the incinerator.
We, the family members, were separated and raised like animals, and we didn’t even dare to ask who our neighbors were.
The Su family will select the person in charge of each area.
The person in charge will arrange who will go out to collect supplies every day.
All collected food must be handed over to the Su family in fixed amounts every week.
If a grain of rice or a bottle of water is missing, the area will be so quiet that even a dog can’t hear it.”
Gu Qi sneered: "It's the end of the world, and the Su family is still playing feudal separatism?"
Wei Wei slowly raised her eyes, her voice as soft as if she was reading an obituary: "In Quzhou, the Su family is the heaven. You can only breathe when they nod, and you can't even leave your body when they frown."
Wen Qing's eyes fell on the crisscrossing scars on her face: "Is your face them?"
Wei Wei covered Jiujiu's ears and said, "I cut it myself, it's scary, isn't it?
There are women everywhere with scratches on their faces like mine.”
She pressed her daughter into her arms and said, "Only in this way can I avoid being taken to the Su family and stay with my Jiujiu."
Wei looked at them and said, "I have said everything that should and cannot be said. Please leave as soon as possible!
In two days, the Su family will begin patrolling every area!"
Lu Nange and the others nodded slightly.
