An Yao's ability currently appears to be enhanced vision, while Yan Jing has awakened a wind-based ability, which is currently the only one among the three who can deal damage.
Once Yan Jing's abilities become stronger enough to lift people into the air, she and An Yao can form a mature scout pair, making them core members in any team.
But they had no intention of switching teams, and they were still with Di Xiu and 001, so their role was almost zero.
However, as long as it doesn't have negative effects, it's fine.
All three girls, Mao Qiu, and Di Xiu, had driver's licenses, could fight zombies, and were hardworking. After what happened before, they had all become cautious and steady, never causing Di Xiu any trouble, and even taking the initiative to bring him water and air. Just based on these points, 001 felt that Chu Rongrong was completely outclassed.
Mao Qiu discovered that each time he used his superpower, he could conjure a little more water the next time. When he wasn't driving, he would start storing water, and the other two followed suit. However, An Yao's superpower was not good and could easily damage her eyes, so Di Xiu stopped her.
They also can't help but cry when the night is quiet, crying for the lost relatives and friends, crying for this cannibalistic world, venting their sadness and fear. This is normal, but they say they won't hold others back and they really won't.
Chu Rongrong, who was constantly used as a negative example by 001, and Chu Yang were starving that night and stole food from others. When they were discovered, they were beaten up, their faces were scratched, their clothes were torn, and most importantly, they delayed the convoy's journey.
The woman who was short of food berated Chu Rongrong, saying that since she didn't want to do anything, she should just sell food and lie down in exchange for it.
Actually, some people have been eyeing Chu Rongrong for a long time. Even though she looks much more haggard now and is always in a disheveled state, she is still more beautiful than the people around her. Some men who have wives or girlfriends can't help but fantasize about her.
But they hadn't completely let go of their morals and shame yet. They were surrounded by acquaintances, and there was no secluded or safe place. They were afraid of dying in the community, afraid that a zombie would suddenly jump out from any corner, so they kept restraining themselves.
Now that the lady had pointed it out and they had a direct view of Chu Rongrong's hot figure, some people couldn't resist any longer and offered to pay for her services with food, which she angrily refused.
The train was packed with people. She refused to sell herself, but she couldn't resist those restless hands.
Everyone looked blank; no one helped her.
In the original timeline, Chu Yang would have been furious if anyone had even glanced at Chu Rongrong, but now he chose to step aside, look away, and turn a blind eye to his older sister's plight. He even used expired bread, given to him by someone unknown, to try and persuade her to give in during lunchtime.
The siblings had a big argument about it.
Chu Rongrong endured less than a day before, driven by hunger, she agreed to a sugar daddy's offer to be her sugar daddy.
If it were just one more day, 001 would think more highly of her.
With a source of food, Chu Rongrong also received the same treatment as the family members of the superhuman, although she had to face constant sexual harassment from the superhuman named Zhou Shuai.
Zhou Shuai is not Wang Hao; he won't grant her every wish, coax her, or pamper her. The food he gives her is barely enough for her and Chu Yang to eat; forget about any delicacies. His only requirement is that she open her legs anytime, anywhere.
She initially tried to resist once, but was beaten and went hungry for two meals. After that, she learned her lesson and began to silently endure it, even as Zhou Shuai became more and more outrageous and the gazes of those around her became more and more unrestrained.
In Maslow's hierarchy of needs, the most basic need is physiological, followed by safety. When Chu Rongrong was suffering from hunger and anxiety, dignity became unimportant.
The people with superpowers and their families can sit in the carriage during the day. Although it's a bit cramped, at least they have a roof over their heads and are protected from the wind, sun, and rain.
At night, unless they are in the suburbs, the superhumans will clear out a private room so they can sleep on a soft bed instead of the damp, cold floor.
The gap between them and ordinary people is gradually widening, and the status of those with superpowers in the team is also rising invisibly, and their families are also feeling superior.
Chu Rongrong can be considered an appendage, and she can sleep in the bed, but what she has to give up is self-evident.
001 and Di Xiu discussed whether the siblings could be considered to be living a good life, but ultimately chose to wait and see, since they were too far away to intervene.
001 Look at these three girls over there, hammering the zombies' heads with hammers—they dared to do this even before they had superpowers. Then look at Chu Rongrong and Chu Yang, and you can truly feel the difference between people.
...
Since the nation informed the people of the base's location, the number of people encountered on the Imperial Cultivation Road has increased, ranging from small teams of a dozen or more to groups of several hundred.
On average, Emperor Xiu encounters three or four groups of people every day. Occasionally, he will step in to save people, but sometimes conflicts will arise, such as when he crashes into someone's car that is blocking the road. However, given his strength, the conflicts will eventually be resolved peacefully.
He was strong, and his team only had four people. People would always invite him to join or want to join him, but he was neither persuaded to join the team nor accepted any poor souls.
There are many reasons, but the main one is that it's troublesome.
Joining means dealing with many people, but in the apocalypse, people are treacherous, and Di Xiu felt that zombies would be easier to deal with.
As for the latter, not everyone can be as self-aware and clear-headed as Mao Qiu and the others; most of them just want to find someone to rely on.
It's true that Di Xiu has the strength to protect many people he encounters, but he has his own things to do. He can protect them for a while, but he can't protect them forever.
In the apocalypse, everyone is pitiful, but we are not even in the early stages of the apocalypse yet. At best, we are in the novice stage. If these people cannot stand on their own, they will perish sooner or later, and they will drag the Emperor Xiu down with them.
