#682 - Chapter 682: Women Who Don’t Ask for Help

Morning.

Elsewhere in Yangcheng.

In an area surrounded by a five-meter-high wall, a group of survivors lived.

This was one of the three satellite shelters of the Yangcheng branch.

After daybreak, some survivors went out to find food and useful supplies, while others stayed in the shelter.

Some of them had other ways to survive.

"Yun Ya! Don't risk going outside anymore! Isn't it good enough to be with me and the other sisters!? If you keep going out every day, you might not come back one day!"

At the entrance of this 'rental' satellite shelter, a woman with somewhat dirty clothes but exuding a charming aura spoke to another simply dressed woman.

They were survivors living here.

"No, I still want to go outside and find my own supplies to survive!"

"Recently, the Green Source people from the Yangcheng branch came again, and now we can find some things to exchange for food. I want to try my luck."

The woman with dirt on her face and tangled hair declined the other woman's 'kindness'.

Of course, she knew why the woman said that.

If she could pull her in, she heard that these introducers could get some benefits.

This was one way for women to survive in the apocalypse.

That was to rely on other powerful groups.

As for what they saw in them?

Naturally, it was their bodies.

In the apocalypse, women themselves were a resource.

Paying a small 'rent' to live in these settlements built by various forces meant that they could greatly avoid being coveted by the cannibals hiding somewhere at night.

That was why many survivors were willing to spend supplies to live in settlements built by various forces.

Although there were no supplies or extra help here, at least they could sleep a little more peacefully at night.

Unlike those lone survivors outside, it was good if they had a small group they trusted, and someone would take turns on guard duty at night.

But those groups with only one or two or three or four people were not so good.

Even if someone was on guard at night, they might encounter some desperate cannibals sneaking over and killing them in their sleep!

These cannibals were simply insane. After they targeted certain "food", they would try to sneak over at night and kill their prey in their sleep.

A small number of people might not be able to stop these people.

There was also the problem of mutated zombies.

Lone survivors had to face not only the harassment of strengthened zombies after nightfall, but also occasionally encounter mutated ones!

Without powerful thermal weapons to resist these zombies, lone survivors were basically in a situation with a slim chance of survival.

This led to the very prosperous 'rent collection' model of shelters built by various forces.

Just paying a small amount of supplies or helping with work gave them a chance to stay here.

The woman who declined her sister's proposal was named Zhang Yunya. She occasionally went out with some survivors from this stronghold to search for supplies.

She also went out alone.

Unfortunately, the recent harvest was not good.

After learning that Green Source could trade some things, the survivors outside had scavenged all the previously common supplies.

Now they needed to search very carefully or go to some more dangerous places to find leftovers.

Like yesterday, she only found two edible wild vegetables, a lighter, a few pieces of wood for burning, and some sundries.

Yes.

Now even wood for lighting was a resource that lone survivors needed to collect.

Everyone had not forgotten how terrible last year's cold disaster was.

Now that it was October, it was good to hoard more items for burning and heating later.

Seeing that Zhang Yunya refused, the charming woman didn't say anything more, just curled her lips and expressed disdain for her "aloof" behavior.

What was she pretending for!?

She felt that Zhang Yunya often went out, and must have obtained the protection of other men, otherwise how could a woman like her survive outside for so long?

Definitely!

Zhang Yunya must be flaunting her good looks in places she couldn't see in exchange for the help of other men, otherwise her life would definitely be difficult.

Her aunt also stayed in this settlement, but due to physical problems, she couldn't go out to help search for supplies and food, and relied almost entirely on Zhang Yunya for support.

This was extremely rare in the apocalypse.

Most people couldn't even feed themselves, and if they had to support another person, it was an unprofitable deal in the eyes of many people.

"Tch--"

Qi Lili spat disdainfully, watching Zhang Yunya walk away.

Looking at her upturned buttocks and her tall figure, only a woman like herself knew that she was indeed good-looking!

And she seemed to be a virgin!?

It's just that this woman deliberately made herself ugly, as if to avoid unnecessary attention.

If she were to be tricked into giving it to the small leaders of the stronghold, or the "big shot" figures of the Yangcheng branch, she would definitely get a lot of benefits!

Tch!

What trickery was she talking about.

This was clearly for her own good!

As long as she clung to a big shot, she wouldn't have to risk going out every day like this, and her disabled aunt who stayed in the settlement could also have someone to help take care of her.

"Should I tell Director Lu over there that there is still a virgin here! ?"

With a turn of her mind, Qi Lili made a decision in her heart.

"Help" Zhang Yunya!

Twisting her waist that she thought was full of attraction, she was going to find a big brother in the settlement to help. She heard that this big brother knew Director Lu, the number two figure among the managers of the Yangcheng branch!

Now who didn't know that the Yangcheng branch was a big force attached to Green Source!

Because Green Source couldn't manage it, most of the work of the Yangcheng branch was currently managed by the number one leader, Director Lin, and this Director Lu was the number two among the group of managers.

She heard that they assisted in managing the work of survivors outside who found and traded goods with Green Source, and were also responsible for 'collecting rent' from their strongholds.

They extracted an unknown amount of profit from it, and were definitely big figures that ordinary survivors dared not offend!

"Zhang Yunya, I'm helping you and your aunt!"

Thinking that she would bring good news to Director Lu, and after getting involved with this kind of "high-ranking and powerful" person, she would become an untouchable figure in this satellite shelter!

Why would she need to serve those stinky men in the stronghold for a little food!

It would be nice to serve Director Lu exclusively in the future!

Let's decide like this.

Just after walking out of the settlement, thinking about where to find supplies and food today, Zhang Yunya, the woman, did not know that a disaster was befalling her.

She didn't use any method of relying on others to survive outside until now, as Qi Lili thought.

She was an evolver!

Her evolved part was in her legs, but the degree of evolution was not high, and she could only run slightly faster than top athletes.

Even so, it gave her great convenience in surviving the apocalypse, at least allowing her to escape the pursuit of zombies and the ill intentions of villains many times when she went out.

There was also one point.

She was once the woman Zhong Yu liked.
