Shu Yun looked at the green-clothed girl's back, thinking it was best not to bite this person; their brain wasn't too bright.

Suddenly, Shu Yun's expression changed as she heard the crisp sound of porcelain breaking.

The green-clothed girl returned to her room and angrily smashed the bowl of rice.

"Before, we ate rice where we were, and now we're still eating rice. Hey, are newbies just supposed to be bullied? What are we even here for?"

"I bet they'll make us go to the front during battles too, as cannon fodder."

The other two girls stared blankly at the green-clothed girl, weakly saying, "No matter what, you shouldn't have smashed the bowl. Now we have nothing to eat."

"Food is so precious these days."

"You're overthinking it. Unless they don't want to absorb fresh blood, they won't let newbies die."

The green-clothed girl said resentfully, "I don't want to stay in this place. The half-month newbie period… just hearing that I have to kill five zombies every day makes me want to leave. Why risk my life with zombies when there's food?"

At this moment, Shu Yun appeared and said coldly, "You can leave now. You're not welcome here."

The green-clothed girl snorted, "Sisters, let's go."

However, the two girls sat there with awkward expressions, not moving.

Are you sick? Who's going to indulge you at a time like this? Eating isn't important; isn't it good to have a safe place to stay?

Did you think someone would give you meat to eat right away for doing nothing?

Did you think they were fools or had too much meat?

They weren't even that familiar with her to begin with.

The green-clothed girl was stunned, then burst into tears, "You're bullying me too."

Shu Yun was too lazy to waste time with her and dragged her away.

Shu Yun understood that keeping her would clearly be a disaster in the future.

But she hesitated to lay a hand on a woman.

However, seeing the venomous look in the green-clothed girl's eyes as she left, Shu Yun no longer hesitated.

She couldn't wait until her own people were harmed before regretting it.

…

"Damn it, eating rice every day, meal after meal. When will it end? Not even a packet of pickled vegetables."

In a residential area near Chen Luo's, a group of people were downstairs, setting up a pot and using wood to make a fire to cook rice.

There was no electricity, and fire-type ability users couldn't control the flames well enough yet. Their ability power couldn't support steaming rice either, so they could only use the inexplicably withered trees as firewood.

A man said helplessly, "There's no choice. We came late. The supplies have probably all been collected by that group in the villa district."

Another person sighed, "Just eating rice makes me feel weak all over, my limbs are limp. There's no hope in sight."

If Chen Luo and his group didn't have so many people, and the notice board didn't say there was a Level 3 ability user, they would have had crooked ideas.

Someone's eyes lit up, "Should we trade some rice for meat with them? There's still a lot of rice anyway."

Everyone agreed. Eating rice all the time wasn't going to work. It was time to replenish their strength.

Leng Chen, who was in charge of guarding the gate, immediately rejected this group's request.

It was a joke. They had collected so many supplies from the residential areas and vegetable markets, and the most they had gotten was rice. They had over two hundred tons of rice.

Rice and flour would probably be the easiest to obtain in the future.

Meat would be hard to get.

Without even asking Chen Luo, Leng Chen knew that Chen Luo wouldn't trade.

Not to mention that this group ridiculously wanted to trade ten pounds of rice for one pound of meat.

According to them, rice was two yuan a pound, and pork was more than ten yuan a pound, so they were still at a loss.

Leng Chen婉拒 tactfully refused, "With high-level crystals, we can give you some meat."

The group left feeling aggrieved, not daring to act rashly.

If they had the courage to fight zombies, would they still be eating only rice?

Damn it, they snatched all the supplies.

Back at the residential area where they were staying, they were shocked to find that a convoy of dozens of vehicles was about to enter the area.

The convoy also noticed them, and several cars quickly approached.

A ruddy-faced man in a black shirt opened the car window and politely asked, "Friends, I have a question. Why haven't I seen many zombies around here? Do you know what's going on?"

The man was called Zhao Hai. Before the apocalypse, he was a firecracker (someone who lends money at high interest rates), operating on the gray edges of society. He had quite a bit of influence, and many underlings followed him.

After the apocalypse, relying on the remaining eight brothers as the core, he gathered a group of people and joined forces with another power to collect supplies.

They didn't live nearby but detoured through sparsely populated areas in the suburbs to collect supplies in this area.

But it was strange. They had prepared to fight zombies, but there were hardly any zombies, even fewer than survivors.

The person being questioned of course knew what was going on. They had all been killed by Chen Luo and his group.

Since there were so many people on the other side, he didn't dare to hide anything and honestly told them.

Zhao Hai and the others were astonished. Their strength was really something.

A man suddenly had a malicious thought, "They eat meat every day and live a good life. The nearby supplies have all been collected by them."

Eat meat?

Zhao Hai and the others' eyes clearly lit up.

Zhao Hai pondered for a moment and said to Jin Tao, the leader of the other force, "Shall we go meet them? They must be pretty strong. Let's make friends with them. It's good to have more friends."

Jin Tao laughed, "Now that we're here, how can we not go meet them? Maybe they'll even treat us to some meat. I haven't eaten meat in days."

They hadn't even looked to see if there were any supplies left in the residential area. They really hadn't collected any useful supplies along the way.

Zhao Hai and Jin Tao headed toward Chen Luo's side.

One of Zhao Hai's underlings suddenly said, "Brother Hai, I remember that before the apocalypse, a young master from the Chen Group named Chen Luo asked us for 300 million, mortgaging his villa."

Zhao Hai smiled, "Forget it. What's the use of money in the apocalypse? There are plenty of villas too. They're worthless. You can take a whole building if you want."

The underling讪讪 said sheepishly, "That's true. What's the use of money now? That Chen Luo is probably dead already."

Could he possibly chase after him to get the money back?

Zhao Hai and Jin Tao's two groups, forming a convoy of more than two hundred people, quickly arrived at the villa district.

Leng Chen saw this group from afar and immediately contacted everyone using the walkie-talkie.

"Attention everyone, requesting support. A large convoy is approaching."

If they were hostile, the people at the gate wouldn't be enough.

Chen Luo also rushed over immediately. If he wasn't there and there was a conflict, the members might be injured or killed.

Chen Luo wasn't surprised. After the apocalypse, those with strength would conduct a carpet search of residential areas with few zombies.

A residential area could be searched by at least a dozen groups, one after another.

Zhao Hai and Jin Tao got out of the car with smiles, ready to see what the situation was like on Chen Luo's side.

Suddenly, Zhao Hai's pupils shrank. He had personally lent out that 300 million, after all, the amount was very large.

How could he not have seen who borrowed the money?

This kid was here.
