Why aren't you guys complaining now that I'm here?

The mother and daughter were about to take a nap after dinner when there was a knock on the door.

The ones who came were the dozen or so survivors, each of them carrying gifts, asking Lin Hao and Li Shuwen for shelter.

Lin Hao didn't have any ideas, but seeing that Li Shuwen was eager to try, he nodded and included them in his sphere of influence.

Who doesn't have a dream of dominating the world in troubled times? She understands Li Shuwen very well.

Now there are zombies everywhere, the country is in chaos, and order has collapsed. Since we want to survive in the apocalypse, it is better to be our own boss instead of surviving under others.

Lin Hao set the rules and took over the entire villa area with Li Shuwen.

Since the villa area is relatively remote, for safety reasons, the walls are built high and strong, and the big iron gate is two palms thick. Unless there is a zombie tide, it is generally impossible to be breached.

Although he took the dozen or so survivors under his command, Lin Hao would not use the food he had stored to feed them.

If you want to eat, you have to collect supplies yourself.

After the baptism of the virus, the number of survivors has been greatly reduced, and the various supplies left in the city are enough to feed them.

Every morning, she and Li Shuwen took people to the surrounding area to fight zombies and collect supplies. If someone asked to join, they would not refuse.

Among the original twelve survivors, three awakened special powers: one fire, one earth, and one wood.

After Lin Hao told them how to upgrade their superpowers, the three of them used the gold they had saved to exchange for some crystal cores from her.

At this time, Li Shuwen's ability had been upgraded to level three. Together with Lin Hao, they were an overwhelming force against them. There was no need to worry about these people posing a threat to them after the upgrade.

Although Lin Hao has not awakened his special powers, the cracks on his soul fragments are slowly healing through recuperation in the spatial spiritual spring, and his strength is not at the same level as these people at all.

Half a year later, the urban area of ​​Hecheng had already fallen, with only one survivor left. The situation in neighboring Yucheng was no worse, or even worse.

More than five months ago, the Xu family ran out of food and ammunition and had no choice but to leave the community and flee.

He first settled in a flour mill in the suburbs of Yucheng and joined a team of people with special abilities.

Yes, someone in the Xu family has also awakened superpowers.

After Xu Dawei awakened his fire ability, the boss's family became the masters, and Xu Jianguo chopped off one of Xu Jianye's hands on the spot.

Zhao Cuiping watched coldly without even trying to stop him.

Xu Jianye lost one hand and his fighting ability was greatly reduced. He had no choice but to follow the Xu family, letting them order him around and barely making a living.

The Xu family stayed in the flour mill for more than two months. An internal conflict broke out in the base. Two teams of superpowers fought each other. The losing side opened the gate of the base at night and lured the zombies in.

Sun Tingting got up to go to the bathroom at night and started screaming when she saw something was wrong.

The Xu family was awakened and fled the base in a panic, intending to leave Xu Jianye behind. However, Xu Jianye was keeping an eye on their movements and followed them anyway.

After this incident, they no longer dared to join the base casually.

After wandering for a while, I heard that there was a large survivor base in Hecheng, which provided food, drink and shelter.

After rushing all the way to the destination, the Xu family looked at the towering earthen walls and gates in front of them, feeling a strong sense of security. Their hearts were filled with excitement.

After waiting in line for a long time, it was finally their turn and the Xu family was about to go in.

"Wait, five kilograms of food per person!"

The guard frowned and stopped them.

"What! Five pounds of food?! You're trying to steal it!"

Seeing the gate right in front of her but unable to get in, Zhao Cuiping screamed in anger.

The guard didn't tolerate her at all and whipped her.

"If you don't have it, get out of here. Do you think our Watch Base is doing charity?"

The old lady screamed out as she felt a burning pain on her back.

The other survivors in line cast disdainful glances.

"If you don't have food, get out of here and don't block us from entering the city. Even if you don't want to enter, we still want to."

"Exactly. Five kilograms of food is already a great deal, okay? Other bases charge a hundred kilograms of food."

"Tsk, other than the Watch Base, which base do you think has level five experts? I think the Watch Base is the safest."

When the Xu family saw that their tantrum was useless, they had no choice but to hand over the grain and go into the city in disgrace.

Supplies were already scarce, and now there are even fewer.

When it was Xu Jianye's turn, the Xu family refused to give him food.

In his previous life, he relied on Xu Jianye's help to occupy the supplies in the supermarket. The Xu family was somewhat grateful for his kindness and was willing to protect him no matter what.

There is no space and no supplies in this life. To the Xu family, Xu Jianye is a burden. Why wait if they can get rid of him?

The guard was not polite and directly kicked Xu Jianye out.

Xu Jianye fell to the ground in a mess, looking at the backs of the Xu family members leaving, hatred flashing in his eyes.

During his six months on the run, the Xu family treated him like a beast of burden and tried to abandon him several times, to which he even broke one of his legs.

It was obvious that most of those supplies were found by him, but now the Xu family has abandoned him outside.

One can imagine what disabled people without a team will encounter in the cannibalistic apocalypse.

Xu Jianye sobbed, tears of regret streaming from the corners of his eyes.

Suddenly, a horn sounded from the city gate tower.

More than a dozen modified off-road vehicles drove over from afar.

Xu Jianye stopped crying and looked over curiously.

The guard who had been bossing around just now suddenly changed his expression, whipped the survivors aside, and approached them in a flattering manner.

"Make way, make way, you have no manners at all."

The main gate of the base was opened, and the leading off-road vehicle drove into the base without stopping.

From the lowered car window, Xu Jianye saw a familiar face.

"Shuwen..."

Xu Jianye rubbed his eyes in disbelief and called out again: "Shuwen!"

Li Shuwen glanced sideways and met Xu Jianye's shocked gaze.

"Shuwen, is it really you?!"

Xu Jianye thought that she and Xu Wan had died long ago, and he never expected that she would appear in the Overwatch Base, and seemed so powerful.

He ignored the strange looks from the survivors around him and ran towards the car with his broken leg.

"Hey, you tactless guy!" The guard raised his whip to hit her, but Li Shuwen waved her hand to stop him and asked the driver to stop the car.

Xu Jianye rushed to the side of the car and saw Li Shuwen and Xu Wan sitting in the car. Before he could say anything, tears started to flow.

"Shuwen, Xiaowan...it's really you, you are still alive..."

Li Shuwen glanced at him with disdain, "It's you."

Lin Hao raised his eyebrows and said nothing.

In fact, she had already learned from the system that Xu Jianye was among this group of survivors, so she deliberately delayed on the road for a while and even rolled down the car window so that Xu Jianye could see them.

"It's me, it's me..."

Xu Jianye's face was covered with tears, and he looked extremely disheveled.

How desperate he was just now, how fortunate he is now.

If the Xu family hadn't deliberately abandoned him, he wouldn't have run into Li Shuwen and Xu Wan returning to the city.

Look at that arrogant and domineering guard, who is so respectful to Li Shuwen. You can imagine how high her status is.

Xu Jianye wiped his tears and saw a bag of beef jerky on the back seat, and he couldn't help but drool.

"You don't know what a hard life I've been through recently. I'm starving to death. Let me up!"

He reached for the car door.

The car door was locked from the inside and could not be opened.

"Xu Jianye, I think you should still remember that I divorced you." Li Shuwen looked indifferent.

Xu Jianye's face froze, "No, I don't agree to divorce!"
