Li Ke ultimately didn't draw his gun, because the woman's slightly protruding belly meant she was pregnant. Beside her were three slender but pretty little girls; without a word, their huddled together after they came out made it clear the woman was protecting them.
They all looked terrified, cautiously observing the people outside as they came out. Any gaze they met could frighten or make them lower their heads in helplessness. They were always in a state of fear, as if they wished they could disappear immediately and have no presence at all.
Looking at Lu Qing's much younger face, Li Ke saw that she was much prettier now than she was back then. Perhaps it was because of the invincible power of youth, or perhaps it was because there was still kindness and a rebellious spark in her eyes. Li Ke did not see the scheming and ruthlessness she would have shown ten years later in her.
Qiu Ling followed closely behind Lu Qing and the others, leading the women to sit and rest on one side. On the other side, a ten-person team was already carrying out supplies and distributing them to the people waiting outside.
Although Li Ke did not draw her pistol, she was still thinking about whether she should find an opportunity to kill Lu Qing. In her previous life, she had never heard Lu Qing mention that she had a child, and she did not know whether her child had been born safely.
Qiu Ling joined the other women in comforting the women and girls who had just been rescued for a while before coming to Li Ke's side, who was standing silently with his arms crossed.
"Big brother, a few women ran away with children and those wolves and dogs. They were the mistresses of these leaders, and many girls were tricked into coming here by them. Now we don't know where they went. I'm worried that they might call other people to come and beat us up again?" Qiu Ling said with some concern.
Li Ke replied without any sympathy, "Then you should quickly make preparations and defenses. This place is good, and now that you've found so much food, if you work together, it won't be a problem to hold it."
Qiu Ling stared at Li Ke with a stern face for a while, then said dejectedly, "You don't like me? I know I'm ugly. You can choose any woman you want here. You can pick one or three or four, no problem. As long as you stay, you can do whatever you want here, and no one will go against you."
Li Ke took a breath without thinking. She didn't have that ability, and she had never criticized or looked at Qiu Ling's appearance. Because of what she had experienced since childhood, she didn't even have much confidence in her own appearance, so how could she judge others?
After her rebirth, she always judged people by their eyes first, then their behavior. As long as their character wasn't too bad, she wouldn't find them ugly. Anyone who could be called ugly by her was a vicious and twisted person.
Li Ke often feels that there are still some problems with her personality, but she can't help but overthink things. She has tried her best to be decisive, but sometimes she still has some indecisive thoughts.
Li Ke was too lazy to explain and said directly, "I'm not interested in women. Women can never rely on others as much as they rely on themselves. Don't always think about letting others save you. You won't go far like that."
Qiu Ling said sadly, "How could we not know this principle? But look at those people in line. Don't you know? They are only willing to line up obediently now because you are standing here, you have a gun, and you saved everyone. They respect you, but they are also afraid of you, thinking that you are already the boss here."
Looking at the situation three meters away, Li Ke casually replied, "Isn't this a good thing? While those people don't know I'm leaving, you should unite all the forces you can to create the most favorable situation for yourself. If you're capable, then pick up a gun and become the boss yourself. If you don't have the guts, then find someone you can confide in to cooperate with. You've been bullied for so long, you don't want things to repeat themselves, do you?"
Qiu Ling was devastated, so how could she not know all this? But wouldn't it be better if the person in front of her could stay? He was upright, not power-hungry, and even more friendly and tolerant towards women. What a perfect person he was!
Qiu Ling also wanted to be the leader, but with her current thin and short stature, she had no credibility whatsoever.
Three meters away, the woman who knew a little about medicine was trying to straighten Zhou Heng's twisted leg. Zhou Heng was very thin now, with almost no flesh on his body, just a skeleton.
The female doctor was also very thin. In fact, apart from a few of the bullies who were a bit muscular, Li Ke didn't see a single fat person here.
At this moment, both Zhou Heng and the female doctor were covered in sweat. Zhou Heng was sweating from the pain, while the female doctor was sweating from nervousness and lack of strength. The nurses who were helping her had never done this before and were not very helpful.
Zhou Heng gritted his teeth and finally spoke his second sentence: "If you can't get it back, just break it and try again!"
The female doctor let go, stood up straight, and wiped the sweat from her brow: "The conditions here are not good. If you get a fever and infection, you may not be able to be saved. Besides, I am not good at orthopedics. I have only learned some medical principles from my elders. I don't have any real skills."
Zhou Heng, pale-faced, said indifferently, "It's okay, just break it. If you're too scared, find a hammer and I'll do it myself. It's just dying again, I can take it."
Zhou Heng didn't want to look at his twisted leg every day, constantly reminding him that he no longer had a human form and had been through so much.
Hearing Zhou Heng's words, Li Ke felt a pang of pity for him. After all, they had dealt with each other before. This guy used to be an arrogant man who would compromise his principles for money, and he was quite good at his job. Li Ke and Zhou Heng had a good relationship. Now, seeing him in such a miserable situation, Li Ke couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
