To everyone's shock, the wooden boat slowly descended and shrank in size.

Wang Xiaolei walked down from the bow and rushed towards Lu Ling.

“Sister Lu Ling——!”

Lu Ling also smiled happily, opened her arms and hugged Wang Xiaolei in her arms.

Lu Ling was the first acquaintance Wang Xiaolei met after her return.

When she left, the Paradise Base had already been established.

But now, it had been enlarged many times, so she couldn't recognize it for a moment.

"Sister Lu Ling, are you all... okay?"

Wang Xiaolei could sense the familiar aura of Lu Ling, and it was as if she were in another world. She felt as if she had been away for a few months, yet it seemed as if she had been away for decades.

"We are...all fine."

Lu Ling thought of Jiang Shan again, but did not mention it to Wang Xiaolei.

"The boss will be very happy to know you are back."

"Isn't the boss here?"

Wang Xiaolei raised her head and asked disappointedly, "Where did he go?"

"The boss once learned that there were two herds of beasts in Mengzhou, and he went there to subdue them a few days ago. He has been gone for a few days!"

Lu Ling smiled dotingly and raised her hand to gently stroke Wang Xiaolei's hair: "I will inform the boss right away, and he will definitely come back immediately."

"No! Sister Lu Ling!"

Wang Xiaolei shook her head: "The boss's business is more important, I'd better go see him!"

"You're going to Mengzhou?"

"I want to give the boss a surprise!"

Wang Xiaolei smiled mischievously, and after she finished speaking, she turned around and stepped onto the space boat.

Lu Ling frowned, feeling very worried.

Although Wang Xiaolei is very capable now, she is too young after all.

After a slight hesitation, Lu Ling said decisively: "I'll go with you."

"Sister Lu Ling, Heaven Base...!"

"It's okay. The sea of ​​corpses in Zhongzhou has been cleared by the boss, and we have the protection of the Great Wall!"

"The three major forces have joined forces to defend together. It won't be a problem even if I'm not here." Lu Ling smiled.

Wang Xiaolei's eyes lit up and she was very happy.

For months, Grandma Emma left her alone, thrown into the Black Armor Army, with no one to turn to.

If Lu Ling was willing to accompany her, she would feel less lonely on the road.

The two of them immediately set out on their journey, boarded the space ship, and headed north...

……

Liaozhou Military Region.

As night fell, in the wind and snow, a group of ragged survivors returned to the inner city from the safe zone established outside the city.

Jiang Xiner was carrying a tattered woven bag, through the holes in the bag, one could vaguely see tiny roots of various plants.

Large patches of wet mud covered the woven bag and her clothes.

She had long black hair that covered half of her face.

The cold wind blew up her bangs, revealing her snow-white face full of collagen, covered with horrible scars.

Her eyes were cold and numb, making the survivors around her unwilling to approach her.

No one knows where this ugly girl came from or why she appeared in this base... and no one cares about these things.

Because for most people, this ugly girl is dispensable.

There is no value in her.

At the beginning of the apocalypse, when the survivor base was gradually formed, most of the strong and healthy men would be conscripted by the evolvers.

Responsible for building the base and setting traps in the nearby safe zone...

In the end times, the lives of ordinary survivors are worthless.

As a result, most people either died at the hands of zombies, or died in the fight for supplies, or in various accidents...

Every time the zombies attack the city, the young and strong male survivors must defend together with the evolvers...

Today, the gender ratio among ordinary survivors has changed from more men than women in the beginning due to the disadvantaged status of women to almost two-thirds of them are women.

Any woman is prettier than Jiang Xiner today.

As food became scarce, the number of elderly people and children gradually decreased, and most of the remaining survivors were young people...

Therefore, there are many women who are as young as Jiang Xiner and more beautiful than her.

She is on this base.

No one cares about life or death...!

No one knows why that ugly girl is different from so many others.

She is so ugly, but she loves to be clean.

After digging up plant roots every day, most of the tired survivors would choose to rest.

She always washed her clothes and tidied up the leaky stone house as soon as possible...

Every morning when everyone woke up, they would see the ugly girl holding a wooden comb and combing her clean hair neatly...

In this outer city where everyone's hair looks like a chicken coop, the ugly girl is very different.

It was like... it was like she was trying to tell someone that she was living a good life now.

……

In the wind and snow, Jiang Xiner struggled forward. A male survivor quietly stared at her back, greedily looking at the plant roots in the woven bag.

Click!

Jiang Xiner tightly grasped the butterfly knife in her hand and slashed it with one stroke. A meteorite was cut into two halves in front of a stone house next to her.

The cut is neat, like a mirror.

The man stared at the stone that was still spinning in the snow due to inertia. His face turned pale and he stopped.

He looked at Jiang Xiner, who was silent, and walked away with the woven bag on her back, disappearing into the darkening night.

Jiang Xiner came to the outer city, near the edge of the northern city wall.

This is the dirtiest and most dilapidated residential area in the entire Liaozhou Military Region.

It is an area deliberately designated for the most worthless ordinary survivors.

The stone house where Jiang Xiner lives was built with meteorites before winter.

At that time, no one considered how to keep out the cold, and even the cracks in the stone walls were not filled with mud.

The roof had already collapsed in half.

This stone house with leaks on all sides is Jiang Xiner's home now. She has tried her best to repair the roof with dead trees and rags, and filled the cracks in the wall with indestructible plant roots mixed with soil.

Even the tattered wooden door was repaired by her by hiring an old carpenter from the outer city at the cost of ten kilograms of high-quality grass roots.

Jiang Xiner came outside the stone house and looked at the 'home' that she had put all her efforts into. The vigilance in her eyes finally relaxed a little.

Just as she opened the door and was about to step in, she suddenly stopped.

Looking back at the stone house next door, through the cracks in the wall that were leaking air, I could vaguely see a bonfire burning inside. The firewood seemed a little damp, and the smoke was rising. A man was choking and coughing...

She remembered that this stone house had never been occupied.

Now, with the extreme cold, no wandering survivors have entered the base.

Most of the ordinary survivors who wandered around froze to death or starved to death in the snow.

Even if wandering evolvers enter the base, they will only live in the 'luxurious' inner city!

"Cough cough cough...!"

The man seemed to be coughing even more violently, gasping for breath.

Jiang Xiner just took one more look and then opened the door and went back home.

People in the outer city died of colds every day, and she estimated that this person would not live long.

She secretly warned herself to be careful.

After this person dies, before he turns into a zombie, we must... chop off his head.

Otherwise, you will be in danger.
