Wasteland scavenging, fat girl takes the sick and disabled family away

Chapter 343 The Female Beggar

The first person to sense the change in the supplies in Shi Yuebai's hands was Black Monkey.

Although Shi Yuebai still sells a lot of osmanthus flowers and Panax notoginseng powder every day.

However, things like osmanthus flowers have a limited shelf life.

In other words, if a survivor buys osmanthus once, they can have it for two or three weeks without needing to replace it.

For the survivors who are currently only active on the front lines, Panax notoginseng powder is somewhat of a waste.

After all, it had become a habit for them to hide behind mercenaries and civilian groups with combat capabilities.

Even if Panax notoginseng powder has excellent therapeutic effects, it won't have much effect on them.

Therefore, many people say that the osmanthus and Panax notoginseng powder in Shi Yuebai's possession will gradually become less popular.

If she has enough supplies, and the survivors on the front lines have stockpiled a certain amount of osmanthus and Panax notoginseng powder, then...

Then no one will bring daily necessities to Shi Yuebai to exchange for osmanthus flowers and Panax notoginseng powder anymore.

As it turns out, the person who said those things didn't live to see that day.

Shi Yuebai began dumping large quantities of expired food.

She sold off as much of the expired food as she could, just like the osmanthus and Panax notoginseng powder.

Although the daily supply would be snapped up immediately, she could still produce expired food the next day.

They won't raise prices or cut back on portions.

The result was Shi Yuebai's calm and unhurried attitude.

This led to a frantic, desperate looting spree among the survivors on the front lines.

They can do without osmanthus flowers, and they can also do without Panax notoginseng powder.

However, if they could exchange their garbage-like living materials for food that could sustain them, they would be able to survive.

Furthermore, they don't have to go to dangerous areas or painstakingly rummage through garbage dumps to find rotten, smelly food.

For them, obtaining the expired food from Shi Yuebai was far too easy.

It's just that Shi Yuebai only releases so much expired food each day.

In their quest to buy the expired food she possessed, the survivors on the front lines went on a rampage, turning the ruins near the mercenary group upside down.

Nowadays, their living space is relatively narrow.

In fact, the so-called front line was just this open area near the mercenary group.

Melted snow has turned this open space into an isolated island.

This isolated island has only one road leading to the outside world, but that road leads to a dangerous area.

If you keep going along this road, you will enter a large danger zone.

After the apocalyptic catastrophe, this vast danger zone has turned into a desert.

Because of the presence of snowmelt, many mutated beasts have come to this desert.

No one would believe that there were no other survivors elsewhere on this planet.

On the contrary, the planet is enormous, a fact that many survivors firmly believe.

The snowmelt only submerged the land beneath their feet.

There must be somewhere on this planet that is a vast, extremely dry land where many survivors still live.

However, they did not have the courage to cross the desert in the danger zone. Even the mercenary groups that were often active in the danger zone were unable to break through this desert.

In comparison, the moon sometimes shines on the isolated island.

Many of the survivors, who were content with their lot, felt it was better to stay on the isolated island.

At least they can find supplies and exchange them for expired food.

Shi Yuebai was standing at the mercenary group's entrance, clearing away the expired food from the supply yard. She heard a trembling woman approach her and say...
"Aren't you going to leave some expired food for the mercenaries? Our lives are getting harder and harder!"

Shi Yuebai seemed to vaguely remember this woman; she was the one who had been squatting outside the mercenary group's gate begging.

When this woman first appeared here, she looked like she was on the verge of not surviving.

She felt a suffocating sense of hardship.

The mercenaries coming and going, carrying osmanthus blossoms, made the air near the mercenary camp much fresher.

Only on the edge of a mercenary camp could someone as physically weak as her manage to breathe.

There are many other survivors in the same situation as this beggar woman.

With their physical condition, they would likely be considered outcasts in other civilian organizations.

The wasteland is brutal, but it is also a touchstone for survivors.

The survival of the fittest is vividly demonstrated in the wasteland.

Anyone who is not suited to survive in the wasteland will slowly die.

Therefore, recently, more and more beggars have been gathering around the mercenary group.

The beggars, unable to stay still by the mercenary group's gate, sat in a circle along the edge of the camp.

Knowing that Shi Yuebai was collecting supplies, the beggars would also try their best, despite their frail bodies, to find any living supplies they could find nearby.

Shi Yuebai would specifically instruct Shi Yaoyao to save a small portion of the expired food each day and exchange it with the beggars.

Although the quantity was small, this small portion of the prepared food was distributed among each beggar.

It's still enough to allow these beggars to barely survive.

Over time, even the beggars around the mercenary camp knew about it.

The expired food in Shi Yaoyao's hands was left behind at Shi Yuebai's behest.

Without Shi Yuebai's instructions, the food rations released from the mercenary camps every day would be snatched away by those strong civilian groups.

It's not even their turn.

So, without Shi Yuebai's own knowledge, she had quietly amassed a large following of beggar fans.

Shi Yuebai folded the empty sack in his hand, turned to look at the dirty woman with a hunched back.

"I know what I'm doing, there's no need to worry."

Even after she said that, the female beggar still nodded, uneasy.

What I mean is, just keep your own ideas in mind.

The female beggar did not want to use her own experience to morally blackmail Shi Yuebai, so she secretly observed him for a long time.

They believe that Shi Yuebai is not the kind of person who can be easily manipulated.

However, it cannot be denied that she was able to survive entirely thanks to the small amount of expired food that Shi Yuebai gave to these beggars every day.

It's understandable that the female beggar had some worries.

The female beggar licked her dry lips and took out a blank picture frame the size of her palm from her pocket.

There were some simple lines on the blank picture frame.

“I noticed you collected quite a few colored crayons recently. Those colored crayons were used by the children at the camp.”

"Would you take this? I can make a lot more."

The female beggar's eyes were somewhat cautious.

While speaking, he observed Shi Yuebai's reaction.

Shi Yuebai keenly noticed the words the female beggar used in her speech.
"You got it done?"
