"Did you go and eat it?"
CZ75 asked curiously.
"No, before I did that, I passed out. When I woke up, I was being raped by two men. After they were done, they gave me five kilograms of food coupons."
"I thought about dying, but I didn't dare to do it in the end. I was so hungry at the time that I used my food coupons to exchange for rice and had a full meal."
"After that, I didn't have any other way to survive, so I had to pick up customers, right? In the gathering place, if a woman wants to survive, she either has to rely on men or go out to make a living. Anyway, I've been abused, so I became a streetwalker."
Lan Xinyue spoke calmly, as if this was not her own experience, but something that happened to a stranger.
"Since you've already given up your bottom line, why don't you just continue to take on customers and live peacefully? Why do you want to take risks?"
CZ75 looked at Lan Xinyue in confusion. She felt that Lan Xinyue was too contradictory.
"The gathering place where I was was breached by a wave of zombies. All the survivors there turned into zombies. Staying there would only lead to death. What else could I do? I had to come out and find weapons to make a living outside."
"I was quite lucky. I met Chu Gang and his friends who were trying to escape together on the road. They saved me several times. Of course, I also saved them."
Lan Xinyue spread her hands helplessly. In this world, even selling one's body wouldn't allow one to live a peaceful life.
"What did you do before?"
"As for me, I'm an art student, a singer. But you see, it's the end of the world now, and the most important rule for survivors in their daily lives is to stay quiet. I don't have any stage to sing on anymore."
"Those men are impatient and they do things for my body. No one would spend their food coupons to ask me to sing..."
"But, I've learned more in the past year since the apocalypse than I've learned in the past twenty years of my life. I really don't know whether to laugh or say something."
Lan Xinyue gave a bitter smile, and CZ75 could see how much sadness was hidden under that bitter smile.
"If you're hungry, you can eat whatever food is in my backpack."
CZ75 pushed the backpack next to him in front of Lan Xinyue.
"Haha, you feel sorry for me. You can't do that, 75. There are a lot of survivors in this world who are as miserable as me. And most of those who have survived to this day are liars."
"There may be people who would stab you in the back just for a pack of instant noodles. If you are so gullible, you will be deceived badly."
Lan Xinyue didn't take the food from the backpack, but preached with a smile.
"Did you lie to me then?"
CZ75 asked calmly.
“…………I didn’t lie to you.”
Lan Xinyue was silent.
"Then eat it. Consider it my payment for telling me your life story."
CZ75 picked up the backpack and poured the food inside in front of Lan Xinyue.
"I've finished the wine. I'm going to go find some more. The bottles have to be filled anyway. I'll leave these foods for you."
Carrying the empty backpack, CZ75 turned around and jumped off the roof.
Lan Xinyue leaned out her head worriedly, only to find that CZ75 was no longer downstairs.
"…………You are so strong, is it because you are kind..."
Looking at the scattered food in front of her, Lan Xinyue muttered to herself.
"That's impossible. Those kind people have become stepping stones for those with sinister hearts... She is just very strong, so she can remain kind and survive."
Lan Xinyue picked up the food on the snow and walked down from the roof.
The stairs leading to the lower level have been blocked by various obstacles, so there is no need to worry about zombies suddenly coming up.
After knocking on the door, Chu Gang opened it.
"Lan Xinyue, you??" You stole her food???"
Chu Gang looked at the food in Lan Xinyue's arms with a pale face.
"What are you talking about? There's no way I could have done that to her. She said she had finished her drink and was going out to look for more, so she gave me the remaining food in her backpack."
"You haven't had anything good to eat lately, come together and improve your meals."
Hearing Lan Xinyue's words, the remaining three people rushed over and looked at the food Lan Xinyue brought back with their saliva swallowed.
…………
"So, what is the purpose of my coming to this world? To save others? That's not right. I'm not a pushover, nor a savior."
CZ75 casually threw out the double-edged battle axe, and a zombie in the distance was accurately split on the head by the battle axe, and then the double-edged battle axe flew back into CZ75's hand.
"This annoying commander, if you want to disappear, at least give me an order. It's really infuriating."
Walking in the deserted streets and alleys, CZ75 began to look for stores that stocked alcohol.
Although she didn't particularly like drinking, she didn't have anything else to do at the moment, so she quite liked the stimulating feeling of Erguotou.
While searching for remaining resources in nearby stores, CZ75 began to think.
What should I do when my commander's signal reappears?
Do I need to think about it? I just need to leave Lan Xinyue and the others, report directly to the commander, and give him a good scolding... This is how it should be.
However, the tactical doll also has feelings, and will cry if the kittens and puppies she raises die. The only difference is that she doesn't raise kittens and puppies.
After spending a few days with these people, she had become familiar with them. They all respected her very much, and she didn't want to see them die like this.
"I can't just send them all to the next gathering place, really. What if they get further and further away from the commander?"
CZ75 began to worry seriously.
"Forget it, forget it. When the time comes, I'll take them with me to see the commander and see if he can take them in. After all, they treat me like their boss."
After thinking for a long time, CZ75 finally made up his mind.
Although it would bring unnecessary trouble to the commander, but... after all, Lan Xinyue would find ways to tell jokes to him, and his relationship with her could almost be considered that of friends.
After searching outside for almost an hour, CZ75 finally filled his backpack and then returned to the residential building where Lan Xinyue lived.
When she jumped to the roof, she was surprised to find that Lan Xinyue, shivering with cold, was still waiting for her.
"What are you doing?"
"I was afraid you would want to talk to someone and I wouldn't be here, and I was worried you would leave."
Lan Xinyue replied with a smile.
"If I run away, wouldn't it be super stupid for you to wait here?"
CZ75 was speechless.
"But you didn't run away, so I'm not a fool."
Lan Xinyue said with a smile.
Chapter 315 MDR: Let’s show our affection!
"Let's go down."
Looking at Lan Xinyue who was shivering with cold, CZ75 walked down from the roof and returned to the house.
Several people in the house were sitting around the campfire to keep warm.
There was a lifeless look on their faces as they stared blankly at the gradually dimming campfire. They had no idea what their future would be like.
"Is your plan to go to the next gathering place and continue to survive there?"
CZ75 asked.
"We don't know what to do in the future. We are not as strong as you. We can only survive by relying on the gathering place."
Chu Gang sighed and replied helplessly.
"In that case, when my commander shows up, you will follow me."
"75, you haven't even met your commander. Is he really capable of making a reasonable judgment? In a world like this, a wrong judgment could lead to the annihilation of everyone."
Lan Xinyue asked with some concern.
"My extraordinary power was given to me by him. From this point of view, he is more powerful than me. Of course, it's up to you whether you want to come with me or not."
"Give? Give power to others? How is it possible to do that..."
Chu Gang looked at CZ75 in disbelief, but when he thought about it carefully, CZ75 was so powerful that there was no need to lie to himself.
"It's troublesome to explain in detail, but the choice is yours. You can discuss it among yourselves before my commander shows up. I'm going to sleep now."
CZ75 walked straight into the study and closed the door.
"Chu Gang, what do you think?"
Yuzi's deep male voice sounded.
"I think we should follow her. As you've seen in the past few days, she's more capable than all of us combined. She can easily find better food, and zombies are no danger to her."
Chu Gang replied in a low voice.
"You understand, she may have received that overwhelming power through transformation in a certain laboratory, right? We may also end up being used as experimental materials for experiments. If you want to gain powerful power, it will be accompanied by great risks."
"We might all die in human modification experiments."
Yuzi's words were like a bucket of cold water poured on the heads of the other people who were excited. They thought they could live safely after relying on CZ75, but they didn't expect Yuzi to ask such a serious question.
"So what? Aren't we living in danger every day now? If we encounter a mutant zombie, we will be in danger of death. We don't have much ammunition left, and it's hard to replenish it right now. I'm afraid we can't even make it to Baifeng City alive on our own."
"Even if she is really an experimental subject from the research institute, as long as we succeed in the human experiment, we may be able to gain the same powerful power as her. There is no harm in taking a chance here. This is our only chance to change our fate."
Chu Gang looked at the others seriously.
"I think what Chu Gang said makes sense. We are too weak. Once CZ75 leaves, we will probably die if we encounter the mutant zombies again."
"Besides, she doesn't seem to hate her boss. I don't think she is a test subject from a laboratory."
Lan Xinyue took over the topic.
"Hmm? Have you discovered any decisive facts?"
Yuzi's eyes lit up. It was simply a dream come true to be able to gain such powerful strength without becoming a subject of human experiments.
"It's not true, but I invited her to be our leader and lead us to build a gathering place, but she was very angry about it. She didn't want to betray her boss. If it was an experimental question, there wouldn't be such a deep bond."
