As the weather grew colder, Lin Ruanruan stayed at the cave entrance without leaving, determined to force Lin Xue to accept her back.
It's not a big deal.
From now on, she'll just stop sharing the food her cousin brings with others.
"That little girl is still outside, are you really not going to do anything about it?"
Ellie glanced at the people outside the cave and felt a pang of pity.
If this continues, this person will probably freeze to a crisp.
"What a hassle!"
Lin Xue picked up her kitchen knife and staggered out of the cave.
"cousin!"
"I knew you wouldn't abandon me..."
"As long as my cousin takes me back to get proper treatment, I might be able to forgive you!"
Lin Ruanruan raised her pale face and spoke arrogantly through her chapped lips.
But the next second, she felt a tightness in her chest.
A kitchen knife was already stuck in her body.
"If you want to die, can't you die somewhere further away?"
"It's such a hassle to make me do it myself!"
Lin Xue wiped the blood-stained cleaver on the other person's body a couple of times before lifting her leg and returning to the cave.
At this moment, the expressions on his teammates' faces were priceless.
Some were shocked and couldn't believe it.
Some are calm and indifferent.
The most comical sight was the three young masters, who all stared at Lin Xue with wide eyes and open mouths, looking on in disbelief.
"Boss, you've finally decided to take action?"
"I knew it! How could our powerful and influential boss be controlled by a woman?"
Looking at the devilishly charming and unruly Lin Xue, the third brother suddenly felt that this was the kind of look they should have had when they first met their boss.
Cold, selfish, and ruthless, yet with a hint of pity.
"You just killed him like that?"
Ellie didn't expect Lin Xue to actually make a move. Judging from the attitudes of the three young leaders and that girl, Lin Xue must have treated this girl very well before.
But what made Sister Xue so determined to kill him?
"She deserves to die!"
Before Lin Xue could say anything, the three of them revealed everything that Lin Ruanruan had done.
"What kind of time is this? She's still giving away the food that the boss went through so much trouble to find to strangers!"
"It's making the eldest sister go hungry, and I have to keep finding her more food!"
"Not only that, she also went around badmouthing the boss to everyone."
"Those people are eating the boss's food, yet they're criticizing him along with that vicious woman, Lin Ruanruan!"
"We were furious! If our boss hadn't stopped us, I would have beaten her up already!"
After listening to the stories of the three, Ellie gained a better understanding of Lin Ruanruan's character.
I told you so.
How could someone as kind as Sister Xue have murderous thoughts for no reason?
"I caught all this jerky last night. From now on, the three of you, little boss, will be responsible for carrying my luggage!"
"I'll give each of you some dried meat first. Everyone keep it safe so you don't starve to death outside if we get separated!"
Lin Xue took out a few pieces of dried meat from the bag and asked Ellie to distribute them to everyone.
Then he returned Zhang Feng's water bottle to him.
"I went to the underground river overnight and brought back two jugs of water."
"I'm going to get a good night's sleep tonight, so I'll leave the night watch to you guys!"
After all that trouble, she was really exhausted.
He asked the young leader and the others to keep his own water bottle and the remaining jerky for him.
From now on, the three young men will be his henchmen and long-term workers.
Life without having to carry my own luggage is wonderful.
"Boss, you can sleep soundly. We'll keep watch and absolutely won't let a single thief sneak in!"
The eldest brother patted his chest and told his two brothers to pack up the supplies. The three of them then sat in a circle around the supplies.
"There's no need for that!"
Lin Xue wanted to facepalm. She knew these three people had some personality flaws; they were unusually stubborn.
Now it seems they were all just simpletons.
"Sister Xue, you go to sleep. We'll help keep an eye on things!"
Now the whole team seems to be led by Lin Xue.
Even Ellie, the former captain, unknowingly began to rely on Lin Xue.
In this wasteland survival world, having a strong teammate as a pillar is something many survivors crave but cannot have.
Previously, Ellie was the fiercest fighter in the team, so everyone was willing to listen to her. Now that Lin Xue has arrived, it's natural that the team leader needs to be replaced.
I woke up to find it was already daylight.
Lin Xue's movements also woke up the other sleeping teammates in the cave.
"Everyone, don't worry about saving water these next two days. I estimate that in another two days, we'll be able to reach the water source!"
"Since Sister Xue has been to the underground river, it proves that there is water there!"
"Let's try to stock up on as much food as possible these next couple of days, so we can rest and recuperate properly over the underground river!"
Ellie considered the supplies the team had. With the replenishment of water, both girls felt much better.
Especially Yao Yao, who got sick because of severe dehydration.
Now that I've replenished enough water, I look much more energetic.
"How about we try to get some firewood in the next couple of days? We haven't had stewed food in ages!"
Ai Qing subconsciously licked her lips. Food was hard to come by, and firewood was just as hard to come by.
"I think it's a good idea. We can just throw a piece of meat in and stew it with the vegetables, then drink a bowl of it, soup and all!"
Upon hearing Lin Xue's words, the others couldn't help but swallow hard.
