Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan were unaware of what was happening here, so they were both worried about Ji Kangyong.
Bi Qiaoan wrote a note using her consciousness, explaining what was going on on her end. Shen Yanming could only reply when he had a spare moment: "It's nothing. He's probably just tied up with something. Just take care of yourself."
Bi Qiaoan: "I know, you too. Be careful."
As soon as I finished replying, several girls came over and asked, "Hey, can we team up?"
Bi Qiaoan smiled and said, "Actually, whether we form a team or not is not important. The most important thing is that we are all trapped here and we should try to survive."
One of the girls pursed her lips, glanced cautiously at Che Cunzhou, and said, "I'm afraid if we're alone, we'll be harassed by people like that. Sister, you're so amazing, can we follow you?"
Bi Qiaoan... she's really not a kind person; she won't stand out just because someone flatters her a few times.
So he scoffed, "You can come with me, but I won't stand up for you if anything happens."
"Why are you like this?!" Not getting the answer she wanted, the woman grew impatient. She thought to herself, shouldn't she have confidently declared, "Don't worry, leave it to me!"
"As you can see, I have a son to take care of, and I really don't have the energy to take care of others."
"But aren't you taking care of those two old people?"
Bi Qiaoan shook her head: "We take care of each other, and besides, they don't have anything that requires my help."
"But what will we do without your powerful strength? What if... what if someone..."
Several girls began to sob, their cries touching the elderly couple deeply. They wanted to say something, but saw that Bi Qiaoan remained unmoved.
How can you be so heartless!
Faced with the accusations, Bi Qiaoan nodded: "You're right, I really don't have much compassion. What kind of world is this? Who would create trouble for themselves? I can barely take care of myself, why would I drag you bunch of burdens along? Are we just asking for a beating?"
They really can't see the situation clearly. They think it's the eve of a disaster, and that pretending to be weak will get them protection.
The girls were indignant, but they didn't leave. They knew that as long as they were with Bi Qiaoan, at least others wouldn't dare to cause trouble because of her strength. But if they went elsewhere, things probably wouldn't be so peaceful.
Bi Qiaoan didn't mind them coming here for a sense of security; after all, with more people around, she wouldn't stand out as much. But the fact that it was all women made her a little uncomfortable.
Indeed, the victims who awoke on the beach gradually split into different groups.
Men tend to prefer being with other men, believing that women are just crying and a burden.
Of course, some girls also actively cling to the legs of seemingly strong and muscular men in order to survive in this chaotic environment.
Bi Qiaoan was the only one who didn't actively team up with anyone else. Instead, she "took in" an elderly couple, surrounded by a bunch of girls who looked quite frail.
"I'm so hungry, there's nothing here, what should I do?" one of the girls said weakly.
Bi Qiaoan looked in the direction of the sound and stared at her for a long time until she got annoyed. Then she patted her thigh and stood up: "Let's go find something to eat."
The girls were stunned. Didn't we just say we wouldn't team up? Why are we being led to find food now? Is this some kind of trap?
Seeing that they were hesitant to move, Bi Qiaoan did not try to persuade them and walked straight ahead.
The elderly couple glanced at the crowd and said, "What are you dawdling for? Hurry up and catch up!" and then chased after them.
Bi Qiaoan didn't go far either. She found a piece of ruin that looked like a residential building and said to them, "Let's dig!"
"Dig...dig?" The girl said in disbelief.
"Otherwise what? There's food ready for you to eat right now?" Bi Qiaoan scoffed.
"But, but we are girls, how can we move these bricks and reinforced concrete?" Everyone looked troubled.
Bi Qiaoan shrugged. "Since we can't dig it up, we'll just have to go hungry. I don't know where to get food anyway."
After saying that, she ignored everyone else. She took out a pair of rubber gloves from her bag, put them on, and began rummaging through the trash.
To be honest, it wasn't necessarily about finding something to eat; after all, she was different from others. But in front of so many people, she had to put on an act, didn't she?
Bi Qiaoan was quite strong now, and in no time she had searched through all the construction debris nearby. Although it was only a thin layer, she did find a flashlight, a travel bag, and a cell phone.
When the others saw that Bi Qiaoan had actually found something, they were also eager to join the "scavenging" industry.
But they weren't strong enough, so several of them had to work together. When they finally found something, it was either soaked in water and inedible, or there wasn't enough to share.
So when I saw Bi Qiaoan take out the bread rolls from her travel bag, I was so tempted that my mouth watered.
Bi Qiaoan... suddenly felt that this map wasn't as friendly as she had imagined. It was almost better to be swept away to the middle of nowhere, at least then she could just pick some wild vegetables from the ground. Sure enough, her husband, Lao Shen, was incredibly lucky.
After thinking for a moment, he took out a vacuum-packed bag of rice from his backpack and tossed it to the group: "I don't have any tools, so I won't use this. You guys figure it out."
The girls were initially overjoyed and wept, but then they became distressed because they didn't know what to do.
The old man paused for a moment, opened the rice package, grabbed a handful and stuffed it into his mouth. He chewed it and found it really unpalatable.
Seeing this, the older woman also followed the old man's example and ate a handful.
"Hey, why are you eating it raw? This rice can't be eaten raw, can it?" One of the girls couldn't stand it anymore and went over to snatch it.
The old man didn't protect her; he simply stuffed the rice into the girl's hand and said earnestly, "This isn't the time to be fussy. It's good enough to have something to eat to fill your stomach. There's no water here, so even if we wanted to cook, we couldn't."
If you don't want to starve, you should eat some. Or, you can go find some other food.
Several girls were persuaded. Looking at the glistening, snow-white rice, they hesitated for a moment, then grabbed a handful and stuffed it into their mouths. They didn't chew it; they just swallowed it.
After they each finished eating a handful, they saw Qiao An feeding An An bread and asked her, "Would you like a handful?"
Bi Qiaoan: "...Thank you, but I don't need it!"
"No need, that's perfect. We can save it for dinner."
Bi Qiaoan ignored her and silently wiped An'an's mouth. Then she asked softly, "Is my baby full?"
Seeing that her mother didn't say anything, Bi Qiaoan knew what was going on. When she saw that no one was paying attention, she quickly stuffed a handful of beef chunks into her baby's mouth, then pulled An'an into her arms and made him chew his little mouth.
An'an was a little confused for a moment, but her eyes lit up when she found the delicious meat in her mouth.
Her little arms were wrapped around Bi Qiaoan's neck, her forehead rested on Bi Qiaoan's shoulder, and her mouth was moving.
After finishing her meal, she whispered in Bi Qiaoan's ear, "Thank you, Mom!"
