Fifteen years after the apocalypse, after observing for nearly two months, she once again joined a team called the "Flying Feather Team".
The team is simple and united. Captain Xiao Fei is upright, benevolent, and skilled in command and coordination. The powerful warrior Xiao Zhan, the agile and powerful Wang Tong, the wood-type psychic Li Tong, and the wind-type psychic Zhang Ge all have a well-balanced combination of abilities, working harmoniously together and never seeming to fall out. After a chance encounter, Chu Xi, working as a mobile warehouse, gladly accepted the invitation to join the team. The team makes a living by hunting exotic beasts and collecting supplies for money, and they particularly need people with abilities like her.
However, Chu Xi still had not imagined the ugliness of human nature, and the extent to which some women's jealousy, selfishness, and ruthlessness could reach.
Li Tong, who is beautiful and considers herself the team's flower, feels that her status is threatened after Chu Xi's arrival. She is jealous of Chu Xi's appearance and her teammates' friendliness towards Chu Xi, and is also afraid that her idol, Xiao Fei, will fall in love with Chu Xi.
Li Tong was a good disguiser, never revealing her true intentions. She hadn't noticed anything amiss with Chu Xi in the six months since she joined. The three women even addressed each other as sisters, with "Little Sister Chu" being her go-to nickname.
Gradually, Chu Xi relaxed his guard. The kindness from his teammates warmed his lonely heart that had been wandering for a long time.
In the sixth month of joining the team, during a normal process of handing in mission items in exchange for rewards, he accidentally got tricked.
"Brother Xiao, let Chu Xi and I go together to collect the reward this time. I'll buy some supplies for girls by the way." Everyone thought this was a very normal thing, but this was a vicious plan that Li Tong had been planning for a long time.
It was also during this mission that Chu Xi found a lush, translucent ancient jade in the black market at the mission site. They say antiques are valuable in prosperous times, and gold in troubled times. Now, in the apocalypse, a jade of seemingly excellent quality suddenly appeared. While it might have been a treasure in the past, in this age where death and tomorrow are unpredictable, it's nothing more than a toy.
Li Tong, who had known that Chu Xi had this hobby for a long time, lured her over with sinister intentions, "I heard there are fun things over there..." Step by step, she let Chu Xi see the ancient jade.
She felt a little unusual and did not hide her preference, and seemed to have an illusion that the ancient jade was calling her?
I bought the ancient jade very smoothly with one Yuanjing. After playing with it carefully, I always felt that there was a clear spring flowing in the mist of the ancient jade, and I even heard the pleasant sound of flowing water in a trance.
After a while, Chu Xi tied the ancient jade with a rope and hung it around his neck.
Confident in her own abilities, she didn't realize she'd been tricked the minute she touched the ancient jade. Suddenly feeling dizzy, she saw Li Tong, with whom she'd always been close to her sister for over six months, speak viciously...
"Go ahead and don't worry. I'll tell the captain that you've absconded with the collective supplies. You can take the things with you. I'll let you take advantage of this and enjoy it... Haha... Brother Xiao will always be mine!"
Chu Xi had already realized that the surface of the ancient jade must have been coated with poison, but it was too late.
Her vision went dark as she fell onto the jade seller, who had been prepared for this, and was quickly carried away. Although many people were watching, living in the apocalypse, not caring about other people's affairs has become the way to survive.
Just like that, Chu Xi was once again betrayed and sold out in a gorgeous way.
"I am kind by nature, but this world forces me into prostitution!" This was her last thought before she passed out.
