Chapter 60 One wrong move and you could lose your life.
Seeing this, the others refused to believe it and picked up hammers to smash it as well.
Suddenly, the lights inside the RV came on, and the curtains inside the window were pulled open with a whoosh, revealing Meng Shiwan's cold, smiling face.
The group was startled by the sudden scene and quickly backed away.
When she realized there was only a little girl inside the RV, she became bolder.
"We were right before, there was indeed only her in the RV, she's easy to deal with."
"Try replacing the glass."
Several people spun around and started smashing the RV, like a group of grasshoppers trapped outside a grain field by a fine net, desperately jumping around.
As a result, everyone's arms were numb from the shock, they were exhausted, and they were all sweating profusely, yet not a single mark was left on the RV.
The bald man felt like his brain wasn't working properly.
"Damn it, are you seeing a ghost in the middle of the night? What is this RV made of? I reckon it could be bulletproof."
The others weren't much better off, looking like they'd seen a ghost.
The men who had come to rob the vehicle with such force now stood outside, looking at the RV with a sense of bewilderment and helplessness.
Even RVs can't get in, so what's the point of robbing them?
Just as Meng Shiwan decided to end things with these people, another group of people surged in from around them.
The group moved quickly, decisively smashing bricks onto the heads of the bald man and his companions.
The group of people, who had been standing there dumbfounded, collapsed to the ground and couldn't get up.
Meng Shiwan frowned, then realized that the group of people were all familiar faces.
Zhang Qiang stood outside the window, his face full of surprise, holding a blood-stained brick in his right hand, and shouted at her, "Sister, sister, it really is you, sister!"
His left hand was gone.
His entire left arm was gone along with it.
The dozen or so people following him were all familiar faces; they had met him in the supermarket, including the owner of the outdoor gear store.
Meng Shiwan never expected to encounter them after entering the base.
She only occasionally interacted with these people and had no real relationship with them. If they met normally, she wouldn't take the initiative to say a word.
But since they had just helped her deal with those thugs, Zhang Qiang was like a little duckling who couldn't find its mother, standing outside the window calling out, "Sister, sister..."
Helpless, Meng Shiwan pushed open the glass in front of the cabinet a crack and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Zhang Qiang was overjoyed. "Sis, it really is you! We just went out and saw this pink RV. We wondered if it was you. I never expected it to be you. Ever since you left, I've been thinking about you every day. I can't sleep."
Meng Shiwan found him annoying and asked, "Where's your arm?"
Sure enough, as soon as this question came up, Zhang Qiang, who had been chattering away, fell silent.
He moved his lips and said in a low voice, "The fighting is over."
After Meng Shiwan left the supermarket, her group, led by Wei Ye, collected all the goods in the mall and brought them back to the supermarket.
They were a group of people guarding the supermarket, with no worries about food or drink, just waiting for rescue.
Who knew that a few days later, a large group of people from the surrounding neighborhoods came to the mall looking for food.
There's no food left in the mall; all the food is in the supermarket.
This group of people found the supermarket. Zhang Qiang and the others didn't know how long the apocalypse would last or when they would be rescued.
They would never easily hand over their supplies to others.
Both sides were very assertive, and the argument escalated into a fight.
Zhang Qiang and his gang had been influenced by Meng Shiwan, and the ruthless nature of killing was etched into their minds.
So much so that when they fight, they go all out.
When the other side saw that two of their own men had been killed as soon as they made a move, they were furious and showed no mercy.
The two sides clashed fiercely, resulting in casualties on both sides. Zhang Qiang's left arm was cut off during that fight.
In the end, no one fared well; the group still managed to break into the supermarket and stay there.
Both sides guarded one side, remaining wary and vigilant towards each other.
Zhang Qiang's broken hand was a big deal; he was prepared to die, but then someone said he was a doctor.
There were still some collected medicines in the supermarket, which barely saved his life.
At this point, Zhang Qiang was filled with remorse, "We risked our lives to protect the supermarket's supplies; many people died."
In the end, that group still broke in, took away a lot of supplies, and I almost lost my life.
Who would have thought that after the rescue team arrived, they wouldn't help us move the supplies, but would only take us away?
"Aren't we risking our lives for nothing? So many people died for nothing, and in the end, the supplies still weren't ours."
Meng Shiwan: ...
It sounds like she has a really tough life.
In this apocalyptic world, every survivor is filled with anxiety and groping their way across the river.
One wrong move and you could lose your life.
Seeing that Meng Shiwan didn't say anything, Zhang Qiang knew he had said too much.
These are their own business; given my personality, I wouldn't care about such things.
When she cleared the zombies from the mall, she had already done them a great favor and avoided a lot of risks.
The girl named Lin Qian also listened to her advice and stayed in the office, waiting patiently for the rescue team to arrive.
What's the point of telling her all this now that we've met again?
Zhang Qiang laughed and said, "If there's nothing else, we'll be leaving now. We'll hand these people over to the security team for you. We plan to go out of the base tomorrow to find supplies, so we need to get some rest early tonight."
Meng Shiwan nodded. "Okay, goodbye."
A group of people dragged the unconscious men away in a grand procession.
Meng Shiwan closed the window, drew the curtains, yawned, and went to bed.
She had no particular feelings or emotions. She had seen it all before in her previous life, and she had struggled and struggled for several years in the same way.
Whether she's indifferent or heartless, Meng Shiwan never considers herself a good person.
All she wanted was to live well in this apocalyptic world with Taxue.
The RV was cool and comfortable, making it a great place to sleep.
Zhang Qiang and his group handed the bald man and his companions over to the security team and returned to their dormitory.
The residential building was not a single-family dwelling, but rather a large dormitory with sleeping mats on the floor.
Inside the house, the living room and bedrooms are filled with rows of bunk beds, leaving only a passageway in the middle, which can accommodate more than a dozen or twenty people.
Pushing open the door, I was immediately hit by the stench of sweat and rancidity.
The air conditioning in the house is centrally supplied with cooling, and it is turned on for two hours every four hours.
In this sweltering weather, the moment the air conditioning is turned off, a wave of heat rushes in, and with so many people in the room, it's pure torture.
They felt that even prisoners before the apocalypse lived better than they did, as their daily welfare payments weren't enough to feed them.
They all knew that this couldn't go on.
Your body will break down from hunger, and you'll be susceptible to minor illnesses and injuries. Without medicine to treat them, you could die at any moment.
The only thing to do is to fight, to risk your life to fight for a way out.
Finding a job within the base is the best way out; you could work in the security team, fire brigade, or any other job.
You don't need to go outside and fight zombies; the points you earn each day are enough to feed yourself and have a little left over.
Unfortunately, they had already asked before.
Without connections within the base and sufficient resources to cultivate those connections, they wouldn't even get a chance to take on these jobs.
Then there's only one way left: go outside and fight the zombies to find crystal cores and supplies, which can be exchanged for points.
The points earned from exchanging crystal cores are very high.
One crystal core can be exchanged for 100 points, enough to eat your fill for about ten days.
As for other supplies, points are awarded based on their value.
Zhang Qiang lay on the creaking lower bunk, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
Tomorrow they'll be leaving the base to fight zombies; it will be their first time.
He didn't know if they would survive to get out or come back, especially since he was missing an arm.
He wasn't the only one having trouble sleeping; everyone was afraid of going out and risking their lives tomorrow.
"How about we beg your sister?" someone said weakly.
She's so capable and intelligent; she easily dealt with all the zombies in the mall, perhaps helping them find a way to survive.
Zhang Qiang sighed, "What are you begging her for? Begging her to shovel your head off so you can be free sooner and suffer less in the future?"
You know her personality; she's cold and ruthless. The fact that she's even exchanged a few words with us is the most she can do. She won't help us.
Wei Ye said, "Go to sleep. We'll leave the base before sunrise tomorrow."
Meng Shiwan slept until noon, and with nothing to do, she lay on the bed in a daze.
What he was thinking about was what to do next to kill Meng Qingyue and Gu Jinchen as soon as possible, then leave the base and go outside to continue killing zombies.
Unlike Zhang Qiang and the others who were forced to survive, she genuinely enjoys killing zombies ever since she got this RV.
Or rather, she genuinely likes crystal cores.
Staying here with no zombies and no crystal cores is simply a waste of time.
It's better to find a place with lots of zombies, lie down, and then zombies will keep bringing you crystal cores.
Should we go straight to those two bastards?
No, that won't work. This is a seed base; they have all kinds of weapons.
If she were to cause trouble, it's uncertain what kind of firearms a level 5 ability user could withstand.
Then she can only wait for the other party to make a move, and then she will respond.
Based on her understanding of Meng Qingyue, she knew that Meng Qingyue wouldn't let this go and wouldn't come looking for a solution.
And she won't be able to hold out for long; it should be soon.
Meng Shiwan got up and washed up, intending to eat something casually and then continue playing games in the afternoon.
As I passed by the stairs, I saw a large box of precious metal jewelry on them.
Suddenly, I thought of a way to earn crystal cores within the base.
In Meng Shiwan's eyes, the crystal core was truly a good thing.
I didn't feel like cooking in the morning, so I took out some cooked pancakes from the refrigerator and ate them to fill my stomach.
She fed Ta Xue cat food again and then drove her RV to the points office.
This area is mainly used for recycling materials.
We can appraise and recycle any kind of material.
Many people who go outside the base to fight zombies don't hoard the crystal cores or supplies they get.
Without exceptional skills, hoarding goods will only result in them being robbed.
The safest way is to exchange the points here and store them in your card, then go to the store to buy what you need later.
When she arrived, she saw several truckloads of supplies being inspected; these items could be exchanged for a considerable number of points.
The people who came to exchange points looked sad, realizing that they had to pay a considerable price to obtain these things.
Meng Shiwan stepped off the RV carrying a large candy jar.
Ta Xue, who always liked to follow Meng Shiwan, chose to lie on the sofa and watch her leave.
The outside temperature seemed even hotter than yesterday. Meng Shiwan used her supernatural ability, Cold Frost, to protect herself as she walked towards the office.
She didn't have much stuff, so she could go directly to the counter to handle it.
