"Hurry up and put these clothes on. I'll take you away from here to the Hope's Base in a bit!"
Lin Xue threw a bag of clothes on the ground, then opened the courtyard gate and killed the man guarding outside.
The people in the courtyard were only stunned for a moment before they quickly reacted. Their numb and desperate expressions changed, and they quickly opened their bundles and searched for suitable clothes.
By the time they were dressed and came out, Lin Xue had already walked quite a distance.
"Benefactor, can you please save our family?"
One of the elderly men, whose face was covered in wrinkles, walked up to Lin Xue.
The man had looked utterly hopeless and lifeless before, but now his eyes were clear, and he was no longer the dejected person he had been just moments before.
Having experienced this scene, Lin Xue also knew that people in the apocalypse were very good at acting.
She also secretly increased her vigilance, realizing she shouldn't be fooled by appearances.
Fortunately, the people she saved were not bad people. The reason they disguised themselves was simply to survive in the apocalypse.
On the other hand, they are also worried about their family members.
Only by having weaknesses can one be manipulated, and only by being manipulated can one be trusted by those above.
This may be one of the reasons why they have survived to this day.
"I'm going to rescue your families. Come with me now, and don't let the leader find us!"
Lin Xue knew that many of these burly men were vicious criminals who had escaped from prison.
They had more than just baseball bats; they also had guns.
Even cultivators fear bullets.
Lin Xue led the group and soon arrived outside the courtyard where their family members were being held.
He told everyone to hide outside, then he flipped over the wall and jumped inside.
There were a series of banging and crashing noises inside the yard, and then the gate was opened.
"Take these clothes and give them to your family members to wear. I'll give you half an hour to get dressed and close the gate. I'm going to deal with those people first!"
Lin Xue tossed down another bundle containing clothes, shoes, and socks of various sizes.
The old man was the first to rush into the courtyard, bowed to Lin Xue, and then picked up his bundle and went inside.
Lin Xue closed the courtyard gate, and then, guided by 629, quickly found the place where the boss was.
"Brother, do you think we can find any supplies at that mall tomorrow?"
A man was holding a large piece of meat and eating it heartily, but his face was full of worry, as if the meat could not satisfy him.
"No matter what, we need to find new supplies as soon as possible, otherwise our stock will run out. We can't just slaughter and eat all those guys then, can we?"
The man called "Big Brother" had a face full of menacing features, but his face, like his brothers', was still filled with worry.
He also had a large bone in his hand, put a bite in his mouth, chewed it twice, and then swallowed it.
But the sorrow on their faces was undeniable; it seemed their food supplies were running out.
Lin Xue gagged a couple of times, feeling nauseous, but to leave them no room to resist, she took out a silver needle-like magical artifact from her backpack.
She has a quirk: when she can take direct action, she absolutely won't ramble on.
It's said that villains die from talking too much, and Lin Xue doesn't want to be killed for saying a few nonsense words.
After a sudden downpour of pear blossom needles, everyone in the house fell silent.
Lin Xue then lifted the curtain and went inside, putting away all the guns in the room.
When passing by the dining table, I deliberately kept my distance.
That thing is so disgusting that no normal human being could accept it.
Although it wasn't said what it was, I'm sure everyone has guessed it.
Yes, the food on the table is exactly what you imagined.
After leaving that house, following 629's instructions, they went to several more houses and took care of those vicious villains one by one.
In the end, only the survivors remained in the abandoned factory.
Lin Xue returned to the courtyard and knocked on the gate.
"I've taken care of them all, now you can come out!"
Lin Xue stood at the courtyard gate and took a few deep breaths to calm down the nausea she had just felt.
After everyone gathered, Lin Xue noticed that there were quite a few people of all ages among them.
There were few young and strong men among them, and even those who were were severely injured.
Lin Xue had a rough idea of what had happened; she guessed that the strong men had all been killed by the previous group.
The remaining people are nothing more than cannon fodder and reserve resources for them.
"Hello, I am the owner of the survivor base. Now I would like to ask if you would like to come to my base!"
"My base doesn't have to worry about zombie attacks, but there's still a lot of work to do. As for food, it's normal food!"
Lin Xue glanced at the courtyard next door and emphasized a sentence.
"Commander, we are willing to go with you!"
The same old man spoke again. He was quite old and shrewd, and knew that Lin Xue was not a bad person.
Even if Lin Xue is a bad person, they have no other choice but to either go with Lin Xue or be eaten by zombies.
They are too old and weak to survive in the apocalypse.
"My transport plane is right outside, come with me!"
Lin Xue glanced at the crowd, then turned and led them out of the abandoned factory.
After navigating several small paths and walking for quite a while, we finally arrived at the place where the transport planes were parked.
This was an open space, enough for Lin Xue to land.
The survivors' eyes lit up when they saw the transport plane; they utterly loathed this place and couldn't wait to get as far away as possible.
Seeing the plane now, knowing they will leave here to live elsewhere, brings a sense of relief.
"Come on up, everyone. There's some food up there. Have some to tide you over. Once we get to the base, someone will take care of you!"
After Lin Xue finished speaking, she closed the hatch and went to the cockpit.
It took her three days to get here because she needed to search for survivors and find the supplies she needed.
The return trip only took three hours, thanks to her driving in a straight line, which saved her a lot of time.
When the plane landed again, Tian Shanchuan and Xiong Guoqiang came to greet them.
Seeing how miserable the survivors were, everyone felt a surge of sympathy.
These people were quickly settled in one of the houses, because the community was managed by Xiong Guoqiang, and he was the one who settled these survivors.
Lin Xue went home with Tian Shanchuan. She spent a long time mentally preparing herself before she could forget what happened in the abandoned factory.
However, Lin Xue planned to rest at the base for two days before continuing her search for other survivors.
The scene from before had really shocked her, and Lin Xue felt she needed to see more normal people and adjust her mindset.
Tian Shanchuan seemed to have learned something from the group of survivors, so he tried to prepare some light meals for Lin Xue these past two days.
Lin Xue also calmed down thanks to the smiles of Tian Mimi and Feng Yue. After resting for two days, she planned to continue her journey!
