Chapter 42 Another Friend
"It's just a case of trying to imitate someone else's beauty. You've ended up drawing a tiger but ended up drawing a dog, a joke," Yunshui Yao scoffed. Indeed, being a leader isn't easy. It requires competence, wisdom, the ability to manage subordinates, the ability to win over people, and the ability to resonate with people through words and actions. Blindly pursuing power will only lead to self-destruction. And you still want to be emperor? How audacious!
"No wonder we see people living like beggars in the periphery, while people in the city center live well, with fine clothes and delicious food." He Lian said.
Lan Shiruo pondered for a moment and asked, "Who reached an agreement with them?"
Zhang Yun shook her head. "I don't know, but I have photos."
Photo? In the apocalypse, this is a new word.
Zhang Yun smiled, it was indeed new. She took the backpack behind her and took out her camera. "In it is the photo of the person I accidentally took. It's not very clear, only half of his face is visible." She turned it over and handed it to the small team.
The small team looked at each other strangely, as this was an acquaintance.
"Isn't this bastard's deal just to take our lives?" Yunshui Yao said.
The friend nodded, "Very likely."
Zhang Yun blinked, "Do you know each other?"
"I know him," Miaomiao said. "This bitch used to be part of a gang. His name was Long Zhan. He gathered a lot of lackeys at the villa in the southern suburbs to bully men and women. He even wanted to attack us, but we wiped him out. The bitch is so lucky to have found another bitch who shares the same ideals. He's been causing trouble for thousands of years."
"I know," Zhang Yun said excitedly. "I heard about the huge battle that took place at the unfinished building in the southern suburbs. Not many people survived, but everyone was still terrified. They watched their companions being devoured by countless mutant creatures, and later by hordes of rotting corpses. The battle was fierce. I heard that it was a conspiracy by a few women, but I didn't expect it to be you. You are my idols. I've heard of Long Zhan before, he is indeed a beast, and later I heard that he had a miserable end. It was all your fault. I regret not being able to watch it live. I am so lucky to have met my idol."
My friend is not used to the sudden enthusiasm.
He Lian asked, "You took all the photos here, there are so many, why did you take all these photos?"
Zhang Yun grabbed a handful of her handsome short hair. "Nothing much, it's just that a lot of things were destroyed, which is really sad, but I can't keep them properly, so I just took some photos. And the human nature in the end times, whenever I encounter it, no matter whether it is good or bad, I take pictures of it. Although I don't know if we will usher in a peaceful and prosperous era, I will do what I can. Xu Qiang and his gang came after me because I took a lot of pictures of his evil deeds. He is not afraid of these things being spread, he just thinks I have offended his dignity."
"You went to the museum today just to take pictures? Why didn't you take pictures later?"
"I went there to take pictures. Then I met you guys, and I knew you had the space to collect these useless things. It shows that you are people who cherish them. In your hands, they are much better than taking some pictures for me. My memory card is almost full, so I thought I'd save as much as possible."
Yunshui Yao pouted at He Lian, "See? I told you she's a boring person."
He Lian smiled awkwardly, "It's not boring, it's a good thing."
"Yes, yes, it's a good thing. My sister always does good things. She feels that these things are a pity just like you do, so we specially collected them. The more we can collect, the better." Miaomiao really loves her sister.
Lan Shiruo shook her head and laughed, "It's not a good thing. I'm just looking for some entertainment after taking care of myself. Where does your electricity come from?" she asked Zhang Yun.
"I have a solar charging panel that I've been using, but with all the snow, the battery is almost gone, and I'm still worried."
"You've been alone all this time? What do you eat?"
"I used to be in a few small teams, but they all thought I was too different and didn't want to work with me, so I went it alone. It's actually quite good this way. I'm free and can fill my stomach with just anything I want."
Miaomiao gave a thumbs up. "You've managed to survive until now, and you don't look miserable at all. That's amazing."
Zhang Yun accepted it with a smile. "It's not that bad actually. I used to be alone. I'm an outdoor explorer. I like taking photos and often go to remote mountains and forests, places where few people go, by myself. I like the sense of accomplishment of conquering difficulties, so it's not difficult for me to adapt."
"Awesome," the friends were all impressed.
Before the end of the world, people like Zhang Yun were considered to be courting death in the eyes of ordinary people. However, now, they have advantages and abilities that others do not have.
"What are your plans next?" Lan Shiruo asked.
Zhang Yun shrugged. "I don't know. I'll just take it one day at a time. I really can't see any future in my life right now. But, the woman who ran away today is a disaster. You have to be careful."
"Don't worry, woman. Since she escaped from Xu Qiang, she won't go back to die. If she's a little smart, she won't be caught so easily. Before that, we are all safe. Even if we are caught, it won't be easy to find us."
"Actually, with your abilities, leaving City B is no problem at all. Wouldn't it be better to go to another safe zone?"
Lan Shiruo shook her head. "I need to wait for someone. Going to the safe zone isn't easy either. There are too many people in the safe zone, and the smell is strong. After the snow melts, the corpses and various mutant species will advance, and their agility and attack capabilities will increase. They can follow the scent to find their targets, and densely populated areas will be the first to bear the brunt of the attack."
"Will he advance?" This news was really sudden, and Zhang Yun gradually felt that there was no hope.
"Well, so, are you willing to join us? We happen to be doing the same thing. Although having companions can be a concern, it will make survival easier in the future."
Zhang Yun was stunned. "Can I go with you? Really? But they all said I..."
"Like I said, we're doing the same thing, so naturally I won't think you're bored. You just need to consider whether you're willing to do it. Our small team isn't very strong, and as you can see, we still have enemies who will never give up. However, we'll advance and retreat together, and share hardships. As long as we're partners, we'll never give up on betrayal. Take your time to think about it, there's no need to rush."
"No, no, no, don't think about it. I am willing. I know it is difficult to survive alone, but I don't want to give up what I want to do, so I have been alone and don't intend to trouble others. But now that you are willing to have me, I am naturally happy. Don't worry, I will definitely be a qualified partner." How could she not be excited? She almost died several times and was still looking forward to it. It would be great if someone could come to help her, but no one, never. After a long time, she was no longer willing to hope for it. The taste of disappointment was too painful.
Yunshui Yao put her arm around Zhang Yun's shoulders and said, "Don't be too happy, girl. I have a problem. I can't stand others being saintly. If you pick up any poor little thing on the street in the future, I will be angry."
"Hey, don't worry, I'm really not a saint. I'm just extending a hand to those who want to work hard and do everything they can to survive, but owe others a helping hand."
"The world is a mess, and there are all kinds of people. It's okay to help those who deserve a helping hand," Lan Shiruo said. In the past, when she was alone on the road of revenge, she received a lot of help. Even in the cold pond at that time, it warmed her heart and lungs. There are still good people in the world. "Welcome to the small team, my name is Lan Shiruo."
