Chapter 105 They Have No Choice
After walking for a while, we arrived at the mission hall of the G City base. The mission hall was divided into two sections: one for ordinary people and one for people with superpowers.
Whether they were ordinary people or people with superpowers, the building was bustling with people.
But they were like two different worlds, clearly separated.
Those survivors without superpowers were mostly emaciated, with large heads and small bodies, no light in their eyes, wearing tattered and dirty clothes, and their hands had thick calluses, as if they had lost all hope for life.
As for those with superpowers, they are obviously much better; their clothing and demeanor are worlds apart.
"This is the mission hall. The base issues many missions, but they are mostly about finding supplies. Sometimes the base also organizes large-scale joint operations. There was one before, in which almost half of the base's ability users were mobilized to take over a top-tier hospital in the suburbs."
Ling Ran and the others weren't interested in taking on missions or anything like that. After learning a little about it, they went to the back of the mission hall, which was a market.
The G City base is managed fairly well; there isn't a lot of trash in the market.
Just then, a shouting and cursing sound came from not far away, attracting the attention of many people.
A man dressed much better was verbally and physically abusing a man in his thirties: "You owe me two points and haven't paid me back yet, and now you're asking me to borrow supplies. How dare you!"
"Brother Shan, please, I'm begging you! My family is completely out of food. Once I get through this period, I'll definitely pay you back!"
The man called Brother Shan had the appearance of a thug, and looked much younger than the man being beaten on the ground, probably only twenty-three or twenty-four.
He revealed a lewd smile: "Hey Fan Chuan, you were a big name in the online novel world before the apocalypse. I've read your novels. Don't say I'm not looking out for you. How about you offer me your wife to have some fun? Forget about the points, and I'll even lend you these supplies."
"What the hell did you say? Get lost, that's impossible!"
Although Fan Chuan spoke with great bravado, at this moment he was being trampled under Shan Ge's feet, so his words were hardly convincing.
Brother Shan sneered: "To be honest, your wife is thirty-five, and I'm only twenty-four. It would be a loss for me to sleep with her, okay? If it weren't for wanting to try out the great god's wife, would I, Wang Shan, bother sleeping with an old woman?"
"If you don't want to lend it, then don't. There's no need to make excuses to insult me!"
"Laughable!" Wang Shan stomped on Fan Chuan's face: "Do I need an excuse to insult you? Look at your old woman, who else would she want besides me? If you ask me, if your wife really spread her legs, with your reputation as the great Fan Chuan, she might actually be able to earn a lot of resources."
Fan Chuan was so angry that his face turned bright red.
Before the apocalypse, he was just a lousy novelist. After the apocalypse, without awakening any superpowers, and being weaker than an ordinary man, he couldn't survive.
At this moment, how could he possibly be a match for Wang Shan, a power-type ability user?
He made a foolish mistake, thinking that Wang Shan was his reader and had previously lent him two points, and that he was a good person. Little did he know that the other party had this intention!
Wearing Wang Shan's filthy shoes, Fan Chuan said, his face flushed, each word uttered with difficulty: "I would rather die than do such a thing."
Seeing Ling Ran staring, Xia Qianqian chimed in, "This kind of thing is very common. Don't be fooled by how fierce the fights are between people with superpowers. In fact, the struggles between survivors in the shantytowns are even more brutal. Many men would give up their wives for a piece of bread. Some would even use their mothers and sisters as a means of making money. Some would do it willingly, some would not, but they had no choice."
