The others were the same; after struggling in the apocalypse for three years, they knew the principle of strength and survival of the fittest.
No one who has survived this long wants to die; those who did would have committed suicide long ago.
Most importantly, Heyang County seems to be really unsuitable for survival, with too many mutated earthworms.
Yang Shen carried the crab shell and legs of the large crab into the building and found a room on the first floor with a bed and a bathroom.
Judging from how clean this place is, it was probably the residence of Yan Chang or Liang Yueqin before, because ordinary survivors wouldn't have a separate room.
Is there any water?
Yang Shen entered the bathroom, turned on the tap, and found that there was indeed water, but judging from the color, it was mostly rainwater from the roof of the bungalow.
"It's been a long time since I've taken a shower, so I'll take one."
...
While the strong men went to find vehicles, the women prepared food and cleaned up supplies.
In a corner on the first floor, a young girl was using the energy she was gradually mastering to clean the grime off her body.
The girl was Elaine. She was becoming increasingly skilled at controlling the energy ring, and her progress was astonishing. She was already able to use energy to remove dust and other things from her body.
As the dirt was gradually removed, a fair-skinned, delicate, and lovely face was revealed.
While cleaning herself, Elaine gently bit her lip, struggling with what seemed like a decision.
"It's the end of the world, and I'm doing this just to survive. I want to live a good life!"
...
Ten minutes later, Yang Shen finished showering and also rubbed his clothes.
As soon as he took out the clothes, he flicked them with a clever motion, and a cloud of white mist rose from the bathroom, washing away a lot of the water. After putting the clothes back on, there was almost no problem.
Sitting on the bed, Yang Shen sighed, "This is the life a person should have. Damn this apocalypse."
After expressing his feelings, he began to think about what to make.
We already have the weapons, and there are no extra people to use them if we make more. Taking them on the road would only add to our burden.
"Wait a minute, we have cold weapons, but not firearms."
"Perhaps I could manufacture firearms and equip everyone with one?"
However, the manufacture of firearms is certainly more complicated than that of cold weapons.
Is it necessary to create something complicated when you can only gain a little experience from one person for the same item?
But then I thought, nobody likes simple things, but more people will definitely like things that are complicated and more useful.
"Perhaps I can sell it in the future, sell it all over the world, and let people all over the world provide me with experience."
"But there are definitely not many humans left on Earth now. Even if it is sold all over the world and everyone on Earth is armed, it is unlikely that much experience will be gained."
Yang Shen pondered how to maximize profits.
"Knock knock..." Suddenly, a knocking sound came from the door, followed by a familiar voice from outside: "Brother Yang, it's me, Elaine. May I come in?"
Yang Shen snapped out of his reverie, his brow furrowing slightly, but he still said, "Come in."
The door was pushed open, and a thin, timid girl walked in; it was Elaine.
However, when Yang Shen saw Elaine at this moment, he was stunned and almost didn't recognize her.
Because the girl was very clean, she had obviously washed herself. Although her clothes were still the same, her face was much whiter than before, and her hair was no longer messy. She looked extremely cute.
If this were before the apocalypse, a girl like this would definitely be selected as one of the most beautiful teenage stars.
After Elaine came in, she closed the door behind her and stood timidly behind it, head down, her small hands clutching the hem of her clothes, without saying a word.
"Is there something you need?" Yang Shen asked, frowning.
Elaine's body trembled slightly, then she steeled herself and approached Yang Shen, saying, "Elaine is here to thank Brother Yang."
"Is that all? No need for special thanks. I will do my best to protect anyone who is mine." Yang Shen smiled slightly. Because of his sister, he was always more patient with the beautiful Elaine.
Upon hearing this, Elaine mustered her courage and looked at Yang Shen, shyly asking, "Can I... truly become Brother Yang's person?"
"..."
Yang Shen wasn't stupid; he quickly understood what the girl meant: "Are you sure?"
Honestly, Elaine was very beautiful and cute after washing herself. It would be a lie for a normal man not to be interested in her at all.
Before the apocalypse, Yang Shen might have been more reserved, but now that he was in the apocalypse and held absolute power in the camp, he became much bolder.
Especially since the girl herself took the initiative to come to him!
"Please cherish Elaine, Brother Yang." Elaine lowered her head shyly, her pretty face flushed as she expressed her wish.
Yang Shen took a deep breath and decided to stop being reserved. He knew that in the apocalypse, it was impossible for him to have a proper relationship.
Since that's the case, being in the apocalypse means I have to adapt to it. I've suffered too much because I lacked the strength to fight back.
Now that I have the strength, it's time to reap the rewards.
Although Yang Shen knew he couldn't build his happiness on someone else's suffering, it was a different story if both parties were happy.
If a beautiful girl like Elaine would make such a decision, she would surely give herself to someone else if he didn't accept her.
Rather than letting someone else benefit from it, I'd rather keep it for myself.
...
It had gotten completely dark.
Several kilometers away from Heyang County, seven or eight infected people lay dead on the ground.
"puff……"
Suddenly, a translucent tree root, with golden liquid flowing inside, struggled to emerge from the ground and pierced towards a corpse-like infected person with lightning speed.
