Shi Caixia felt especially proud among the group of girlfriends today.
Even her boss, Qin Zhen, spoke of Zhou Cheng with a look of deep emotion.
"Commander Zhou is a good man. These days, it's rare to find a man who can take care of you and your sisters as well."
Everyone nodded, their faces full of satisfaction as they returned to the safe zone with their pockets overflowing with crystal cores.
A whole day has passed.
Those survivors who were hunting zombies outside the blast site, counting the dozen or twenty zombie crystal cores in their hands, looked up and immediately laughed:
"Hey, the pregnant, weak, and disabled group is back? Did you kill any zombies today?"
"I told you earlier to find another way. Won't your pregnant women and children starve to death if this continues?"
These days, women who go out like this without a man by their side are probably all dead.
In the safe zone, no survivors respected Hua Mi and her group of pregnant, weak, and disabled women.
However, no one would openly lay a hand on them.
After all, there are garrisons everywhere in this city. The reason why the temporary safe zone deep in D City was able to be set up is because the garrisons have demarcated a safe zone here.
The survivors only vented their anger at Hua Mi and the others, and Hua Mi didn't hold it against them.
After killing zombies all day, they each had several hundred crystal cores. Qin Zhen and Yu Mengmeng were going to take the child back to Xiangcheng to sleep.
There was simply no time to engage in verbal sparring with these men.
After taking a shower in her RV, Hua Mi took Shi Caixia, Dafu, and Xiaofu to the party hosted by Ni Shuiwen and Guo Se.
When they arrived, a large crowd had already gathered there.
The vast majority were men. Even the few women were either dressed up and nestled in the men's arms, or dressed in androgynous styles, similar to Guo Se.
When Guo Se saw Hua Mi arrive with Shi Caixia and Dafu and Xiaofu, his expression remained indifferent.
It was as if she was certain that Hua Mi and the others would try to curry favor with her and join their group.
So she nodded to Hua Mi from afar, turned and left, as if afraid that Hua Mi would come to talk to her.
Ni Shuiwen was already chatting away among the men, while Dafu and Xiaofu wandered into the crowd, strolling around the place before returning with almost all the information about the gathering.
They whispered to Hua Mi.
"Sister Ami, they want to blow up the ice layer themselves and release the zombies from D City."
"They have reached an agreement to concentrate the strongest manpower in the security zone and elect Ni Shuiwen as the regimental commander."
The phenomenon of survivors banding together for survival is nothing new.
In a certain area, as long as there are enough survivors, forming groups becomes the general trend.
Hua Mi pondered, her fox-like eyes narrowing, and she sensed that these survivors were courting death.
Go and blast through the ice themselves? Like Gong Yi, do they know what the situation is like 600 meters below the ice?
Knowing nothing, yet wanting to blast through the ice layer himself, what if he blows up a hornet's nest and the number of zombies in the entire D City goes out of control?
It wasn't just one or two people who died.
Ultimately, the zombies were too easy to kill, which gave these survivors a false sense of security.
They mistakenly believed that zombies posed no danger!
"Everyone, please be quiet and listen to me."
Ni Shuiwen stood on the roof of the car and shouted to the crowd below,
"The garrison strictly controls the number of zombies. They monopolize the zombie cores, so the number of zombies that we actually get is pitifully small."
"We must change this situation. If we don't unite, we won't even have the money to buy supplies."
Someone echoed,
"Commander Ni, we'll do whatever you say. Tell us how to blow it up, and we'll do it that way."
“I have a brother who knows how to make explosives, I’ll call him over.”
"These garrison troops are really selfish. They take the lion's share of the zombies, and we can only pick up what's left. I think the Xiangcheng base will become an oligarchy after it's established."
The construction of the Xiangcheng base is no longer news.
The walls have already been erected, and City D is outside the walls.
According to the garrison's propaganda, there will be no zombies inside the Xiangcheng base, which is bounded by this wall.
The landscape is changing in the new era, but given the current domineering presence of the Xiangcheng base, it's hard to imagine that ordinary people will have the opportunity to take off in the future.
Unless they gain more say now, enough to rival the garrison.
So from the very beginning, when they were collecting zombie crystal cores, they should have seized the crystal core resources.
Amidst a chorus of voices supporting Ni Shuiwen, Hua Mi turned around and said to Shi Caixia with an icy expression,
"There's no need to listen anymore, let's go back."
This team isn't worth joining, just like countless other teams she'd seen in her past life.
In the beginning, they were arrogant and ignorant, and many people died. Only those who crawled out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood would have their impetuous nature tempered and be transformed into gold.
These people are nothing more than cannon fodder now.
Shi Caixia followed Hua Mi and left with Dafu and Xiaofu.
As soon as he reached the edge of the gathering place, Guo Se pushed aside two or three people standing in front of him and came over.
“Ami”.
She had heard Shi Caixia call Hua Mi that before, so she called her that too.
Hua Mi, who was ahead, stopped and turned around, wondering what Guo Se had called her for.
Guo Se walked over, smiling, and said
"Here's the thing, we've decided to form a team. Since we're forming a team, let's see if anyone can do anything they can for the team."
In fact, Guo Se had been waiting for Hua Mi to come over and try to get closer to her.
She was filled with impatience, waiting for Hua Mi to come to her, but she also felt that dealing with this team was a burden and a waste of her time and energy.
As a result, Hua Mi never came to find her.
Seeing that the calls for forming a group were growing stronger and that cohesion had been established, Guo Se no longer wanted to wait.
She took the initiative to find Hua Mi.
She just wanted to quickly finalize things with Hua Mi so she could go back and rest.
Hua Mi didn't speak, but just quietly looked at her.
Guo Se said with a smile,
"Look, you know your own circumstances. What can you do for our team?"
As she spoke, she looked at Shi Caixia.
During the daytime, when Hua Mi appeared with a group of pregnant, weak, and disabled people, it was estimated that only Shi Caixia could chop down one or two zombies with an axe.
If it weren't for the fact that Hua Mi and her friends' RV looked very high-end, Guo Se and Ni Shuiwen really wouldn't have wanted to accept them.
Yes, Guo Se was implying to Hua Mi that she should share her RV.
Hua Mi completely missed Guo Se's hint. Feeling bloated from pregnancy, she asked blankly,
"With someone like me joining your team, what else do you need me for?"
She has unlimited resources at her disposal.
Even without unlimited resources, she's still a master at killing zombies.
So what are we going to do with her? Just to get her a chance to join the team?
Can you please stop beating around the bush and just say what you think?
I was wondering why I didn't have any comments; it turns out I hadn't updated!
