Rebirth in the End of the World: What’s Wrong with Me Being in Love?

Although Xu Yao killed a person as a sacrifice that day, it didn't seem to scare many people.

After all, green represents life and the hope of living, so there are still people who want to enter the forest.

The mutated plants in the inner circle of the forest have become bloodthirsty, and several rabbits that escaped were eaten by them.

Therefore, most of those who took great pains to come in, became nutrients for the plants.

In this regard, Xu Yao chose to let it go. If people can eat people, what's wrong with plants eating people?

But she still beat up the guys who ate her rabbits, and they became conscious and remembered the lesson.

There were also some people who were not so greedy. They quickly picked the young shoots of the thorny dragon buds, rose tips and radix strychnifolia in the periphery where there were no mutant plants and then ran away.

If you are lucky, you can also dig up some stem plants that can fill your stomach, such as taro, sweet potato, and some other wild vegetables.

Xu Yao would not interfere in such matters.

What made her happy was that the water in the cave seemed to be a little more as the forest area expanded.

Because of the forest issue, more and more people began to move closer to the county town.

Most of them are ordinary people who have no way to survive in the outside base.

That day, Xu Yao received another call from Li Caifang.

The originally calm voice could not hide the fatigue and fear: "Xu Yao, can you lend me some food? My mom and dad can't hold on any longer."

Listening to her desperate voice, Xu Yao thought of Li Caifang who was alone later. She said in a faint voice: "Are you at the base?"

"Yeah." Li Caifang replied with a sob.

Xu Yao wanted to refuse, but he ended up saying, "Go find Liang Xiaobing and tell her to use 15 kilograms of food as travel expenses. Ask her to take you to the hillside of Houjiao Lane. I'll pay when we get there."

"Thank you." Li Caifang didn't expect that she would help her, and she couldn't help choking up.

"Tell me when we get there." Xu Yao replied indifferently and hung up the phone.

About two hours later, Xu Yao received another call. She had a blank expression on her face and dragged a few bags of food out.

Liang Xiaobing and two other teammates, one male and one female, could not help but marvel at the lush vegetation on the mountain.

Seeing the woman coming down the mountain and the thing being dragged by vines behind her, he couldn't help but step back subconsciously and vigilantly.

Although the other person was wearing a mask, Li Caifang recognized her at a glance and couldn't help crying with excitement: "Xu Yao."

But she regretted it right after she said it, because there were other survivors crowded around.

Xu Yao glanced at them.

Behind Li Caifang was a middle-aged couple with cracked skin and skinny bodies. They looked weak and their end was near.

The next one behind was Li Jianan, her brother, who was supporting a middle-aged man.

When Liang Xiaobing heard the name Xu Yao, her eyes suddenly shrank and she couldn't help but look at the girl in surprise.

Xu Yao withdrew his gaze and looked at Liang Xiaobing, whose face was severely sunburned and peeling, and whose lips were chapped.

She threw two bottles of water to Liang Xiaobing: "One bag of grain weighing 100 kilograms, in exchange for two pistols and 70 rounds of bullets."

"Okay." Liang Xiaobing already knew who had exchanged food last time, and she also understood that they would make a profit in this exchange, so she quickly agreed.

She quickly took a sip of water, then handed the water to the other two teammates before taking out her and her teammates' guns and handing them to her.

Xu Yao took it and handed it directly to Li Caifang. He threw a machete to her brother and pointed to a house not far above the air-raid shelter and said, "There is a house over there. You can live there. If you don't have enough food, call me."

"Thank you." Looking at the three bags of food on the ground, Li Caifang couldn't help choking up.

"Thank you, thank you, little girl." Li Caifang's parents are ordinary farmers. After experiencing so much hardship, they understand the preciousness of kindness even more.

"Thank you." Li Jianan also licked his cracked lips and said.

Xu Yao left her things and left. She didn’t need anyone’s thanks. She could help them but would not cause any trouble for herself.

After watching her leave, the other people who were surrounding her began to approach her with bad intentions.

Li Caifang clenched her gun and pointed it at them, her expression gradually becoming fiercer: "Get lost!"

Liang Xiaobing and her teammates watched this scene in silence.

During the months of extreme heat and drought, they struggled to maintain the last bit of social order.

But since the riot at the base, these things have collapsed.

Those people were trying to use moral blackmail, but they didn't expect that countless branches and vines came down from the mountain and floated behind the family, as if they were ready to pierce them as soon as they opened their mouths.

The crowd immediately dispersed and dared not stay any longer.

Xu Yao stood on a high place and watched the crowd leave before turning around again.

"She is so strong..." Liang Xiaobing's female teammate couldn't help but murmur as she looked at the vines retreating back up the mountain.

Another male teammate also asked: "Don't you want to exchange for some food?"

"Wait a minute!" Liang Xiaobing woke up as if from a dream, shouted loudly, and then ran up the mountain.

"This..." Li Caifang's brother Li Jianan couldn't help but hesitate when he saw this scene.

Li Caifang looked at the senior's back and shook her head: "Don't worry about it, just move the things up."

After hearing Liang Xiaobing's voice, Xu Yao stopped.

Liang Xiaobing endured the high fever and dragged her weak body up the mountain: "Can I still exchange food with you?"

"What else do you have?" Xu Yao did not refuse directly, but asked with his arms crossed.

Liang Xiaobing licked her cracked lips, and a taste of rust spread in her mouth: "There is no electricity here... The base has invented a new type of energy generator..."

"I have solar panels." Xu Yao shook his head.

"Do you still want the crystal?" Liang Xiaobing asked persistently again.

She did not use any moral blackmail. Xu Yao had a miserable life and no one saved her when she was suffering, so she would not ask her to repay evil with kindness.

Xu Yao shook her head. She didn't need it anymore. "You can sleep with the crystal in your arms at night. Maybe there will be unexpected surprises."

"Xu Yao..." Liang Xiaobing understood that she was refusing to exchange food, and couldn't help but plead with bitterness in her heart.

"Wait." Xu Yao turned and left.

A glimmer of hope rose in Liang Xiaobing's eyes. She watched her back slowly walk towards the big tree next to her, and sat down weakly against the tree trunk.

The teammates below were worried about the situation, so they left the men to guard the food while the young woman climbed up with great effort: "Captain, does she agree?"

"Nothing, just asked me to wait." Liang Xiaobing shook her head and looked at the sharp thorns on the plants not far away.

Xu Yao did not go out again, but asked the rose to send out some things, including leftover cucumbers and fruits, sweet potatoes, taro and potatoes for feeding pigs.

All added up, it was only about two or three hundred pounds. It was her damn compassion that was at work.

After seeing what she saw, Leung Siu-bing also understood what she meant.

She could help herself out of that little bit of affection, but she would not waste food in exchange for things she had no use for.

Looking at so many fresh fruits, her teammates couldn't help swallowing hard: "Captain, can I have one..."

"Eat it." Looking at her teammate who had been through thick and thin with her, Liang Xiaobing was not stingy and gave her a cucumber.

The female teammate was named Liu Lihua. She hadn't eaten anything good for more than half a year, so she picked up a cucumber and started to eat it.

Liang Xiaobing looked at her biting the cucumber fiercely but reluctant to swallow it for a long time, so she also took a cucumber of similar size and started eating it.

They were all new recruits who had been in the army for just over a year, but they never expected that during the Chinese New Year, those complaints about not wanting to go to school and the world exploding would come true.

They really don't have to go to school anymore, and the earth they depend on for survival is really cracked.

If they hadn't had their families waiting for them and their hearts still burning with faith, they would have given up long ago.

Back in the car, Liang Xiaobing gave one to the male teammate who was drooling, and planned to take the rest back to the base.
