A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 620 A truly unique female

Yuna rolled her eyes, her words laced with sarcasm, "Look at how eager you are, anyone would think some important person has come! She doesn't even have any superpowers, and she's filthy, like she crawled out of an abandoned junkyard. I can practically smell the stench on her, you better not get tainted by it!"

As she spoke, she pinched her nose and dodged to the side with a look of disgust, as if afraid of getting hurt.

The tall, thin man next to him also chimed in with disdain, "I bet this female was thrown out. She must be ugly and unattractive, otherwise how could she have been abandoned by her tribe?"

No matter where you are, fertile females are precious. Even if they don't have superpowers, they shouldn't be left to fend for themselves in the wasteland.

The only possibility is that she's too ugly and no male is willing to keep her.

A useless entity that cannot obtain resources and only consumes food will naturally be thrown out.

Listening to their sarcastic remarks, Bai Lei couldn't help but pull Shen Tang behind her and angrily retorted, "What are you two saying? Is it fun to talk about other people? What she does is none of your business!"

Yuna was speechless, her face darkening further. She snorted coldly, called him a "pushover," and turned to leave.

Cole glanced at them with disdain, then left.

Bai Lei turned around, her tone immediately softening as she comforted Shen Tang, "Don't listen to their nonsense. Those two are just sharp-tongued. We've suffered similar losses before, so we're wary of outsiders. But I don't think you're that kind of person! Besides, the captain has already agreed to let you come along, so don't overthink it. Just stay with us!"

"Thank you." Shen Tang took the wet wipe, seemingly unconcerned, and carefully wiped her face.

Bai Lei struck up a conversation with her warmly, "By the way, what's your name? What kind of beastman are you? How come you're here all alone? It's too dangerous."

Shen Tang paused, pursed her lips and thought for a moment, then a faint smile appeared on her lips. "My name is... Xun Fu, and I am a cat-like beastman."

Bai Lei clasped her hands together in front of her chest, her eyes shining. "Xunfu~ Xunfu~ That sounds so nice! I'll call you Xiaofu from now on! You're from the cat clan? Hehe, our captain is from the lion clan, so you two are practically from the same clan!"

"..." Shen Tang couldn't help but laugh. The difference was too great!

Bai Lei was about to say something when she suddenly exclaimed, her eyes widening, "Oh my god, Xiao Fu! You...you're so beautiful!"

Her shout was so prominent that the other members of the team subconsciously looked over, even Qin Han, who was leading the team to survey the terrain, glanced back.

Immediately, a look of surprise flashed across his handsome face.

When the baby-faced, handsome young man Zhai Chen saw Shen Tang's face clearly, he was so surprised that his almond-shaped eyes, like those of a bird, widened in shock, and he was instantly dumbfounded.

Even the usually taciturn Duen couldn't help but blush, his dark face turning red, and his breathing became rapid, as if he had never seen such a beautiful female in his life.

The female before me had long, jet-black hair. Her face, which had been ashen, was now as white as snow after being wiped clean. Her features were exquisitely beautiful, especially her pair of watery cat-like eyes, which seemed to bewitch one's soul, making it impossible not to fall into them at first glance. Her nose was straight and upturned, and her lips were full and red, like budding flower petals, tempting one to get closer.

Heaven knows where these rough men who fight and kill all day long have ever seen such a beautiful and delicate female, even more beautiful than the most beautiful female in the shelter!

Moreover, her skin was so white and delicate, it was like that of a pampered upper-class female, not something that could be produced in such a harsh environment.

Zhai Chen rubbed his face and said blankly, "So, so beautiful..."

They had always thought Yuna in the team was pretty enough, and she was quite popular both in the team and the shelter. But compared to the woman in front of them, there was no comparison at all. This woman was so beautiful that she looked like she had stepped out of a painting.

Cole's face was burning with pain, and he was completely stunned.

Yuna stared at Shen Tang in astonishment, her heart churning with turmoil. She unconsciously bit her lower lip, her face turning pale.

How could this abandoned, useless female be so beautiful??
She subconsciously turned her head to look at Qin Han, only to find that the man's gaze was also on Shen Tang's face, with a hint of dazedness flashing in his eyes.

Yuna's alarm bells went off immediately. She was both angry and anxious. She rushed forward and grabbed Qin Han's arm, complaining in a coquettish voice, "Brother Qin Han! There's definitely something wrong with this female! Could she be a spy sent by another team? We can't take her away!"

Qin Han snapped out of his daze, frowned as he glanced at her, then looked at Shen Tang with a scrutinizing gaze.

Clearly, he had his doubts.

Shen Tang met the man's slightly oppressive gaze, pursed her lips, lowered her head and explained softly, "I'm not a spy."

Seeing the beautiful woman's timid expression, Zhai Chen quickly raised his hand in support, "I also believe in this... Xun Fu, Xiao Fu, right! She could never be an undercover agent! What team would send a female as an undercover agent?"

Not to mention such a beautiful female, anyone would want to hide her away and protect her, right? Who would bear to leave her in such a dangerous place, where she almost lost her life?

Bai Lei glanced at him speechlessly. This kid is a complete looks-obsessed person!

However, she also agreed with Zhai Chen's words.

Although she also felt that Xunfu's appearance was a bit strange, no one would use such a precious and beautiful female as bait. Anyone who could send out a female of this caliber would look down on their ordinary hunting team.

Qin Han withdrew his gaze and said nothing more, only in a low voice, "The nearest shelter is still 58 kilometers away. Let's keep going."

Since the captain had spoken, the others naturally had no objections.

Yuna was truly furious this time. Qin Han was always so meticulous; why was he making exceptions for this unidentified female time and time again? Could it be that he, too, was captivated by her beauty?

The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she became. She could only glare at Shen Tang fiercely before quickly following Qin Han.

Shen Tang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She knows nothing right now, and if you really press her for an explanation, she doesn't even know how to make one up.

Fortunately, she only used them as a temporary stepping stone and would leave once she had figured out the situation.

So Shen Tang continued forward with the team.

Zhai Chen was very enthusiastic and always tried to strike up a conversation with her, but Bai Lei eventually sent him away.

The sky darkened again.

The temperature difference between day and night is extreme here, and it can get as cold as minus 20 degrees Celsius at night. The environment is so harsh that it is not a place where people can stay for long.

Suddenly, a coat was draped over his head, carrying a faint, chilly aura.

Shen Tang looked up in surprise and saw Qin Han, who had appeared out of nowhere.

The man coughed lightly and said casually, "You don't have any superpowers, so just put these on."

Shen Tang didn't have a protective shield formed by her supernatural abilities. Although she was wearing an energy protective suit produced by the system that could resist radiation and pollution, the cold wind still howled against her.

Qin Han's gaze fell on her face again.

The female's fair and delicate face was red from the cold, her long eyelashes trembled like butterfly wings, and she looked at him with her big, watery eyes, which made him feel a little uncomfortable and turn his face away.

Shen Tang noticed that his earlobes were slightly red. Hmm, was it too cold?

She pulled her coat tighter, gave him a sweet smile, and said, "Thank you."

Despite the cold night, Qin Han felt inexplicably restless. He pursed his lips and replied calmly, "You're welcome."

The female in front of him gave him a strange feeling; she was out of place with everything around her. Although they were all beastmen, she seemed to be different from them in some way.

Despite being in such a harsh and dangerous place, she was like an innocent and naive little animal, knowing nothing, making people want to take extra care of her.

"Gulu~"

Shen Tang's stomach suddenly growled.

She touched her stomach a little awkwardly. "Um, aren't you guys hungry? Would you like to eat something and rest for a bit?"

She had been traveling with them for over a day without rest, water, or food, and was exhausted and hungry, on the verge of collapse. But they seemed used to it and showed no reaction whatsoever.

Yuna glared fiercely at Shen Tang's coat, already seething with anger. Hearing this, she immediately seized the opportunity to provoke her, coldly snorting, "You're not really a pampered young lady, are you? You can't even endure this little bit of hardship?"

Bai Lei was speechless. "Would it kill you to say less?" She could easily see that Yuna was just jealous and was deliberately picking a fight because the captain was taking care of Xiao Fu. But didn't the captain usually take care of her and others too? What was there to be jealous of?
Besides, the captain isn't her beastly husband. Does she really think Qin Han is her possession?
Yuna wanted to argue, but her stomach betrayed her and growled.

She immediately looked embarrassed, and swallowed back the words she was about to say.

Qin Han glanced at the exhausted team members and nodded, saying, "It's getting late, and we've been traveling for a long time. Let's rest and have something to eat."

"Yes, Captain!"

Zhai Chen and the others were overjoyed. Luckily, Xiao Fu suggested taking a break, otherwise, given the captain's stubbornness, they probably wouldn't have been allowed to rest until they reached the shelter.

They found a relatively safe spot nearby, a place with high ground and few obstructions, so they could spot any mutated beast attacks immediately.

The seemingly unremarkable Zhai Chen is actually a rare spatial ability user, specializing in defense and stealth. His ability covers the small camp, making it appear as an open space from the outside, even concealing his presence; one cannot detect him unless they get close.

Zhai Chen's spatial barrier can only last for a maximum of three hours.

During these three hours, they can take a quick bite to eat and rest.

All the precious food items were stored in the team leader's spatial storage.

Qin Han took out food and distributed it to everyone; it was basically just mineral water, hard canned food, and compressed biscuits.

It's more accurate to call it life-sustaining supplies than food.

Moreover, orcs generally have large appetites, but each person is only given a small jar of food and a few biscuits. This meal will probably last for two or three days.

Shen Tang, who was a pampered emperor, looked at the food and silently shed tears.

Seeing her squatting to the side, staring longingly at the food in their hands, with a dejected and sad look on her face, Qin Han paused for a moment, then handed her half of his share.

Yuna couldn't hold back any longer. "Brother Qin Han! You're being way too biased towards this female! This is your ration, we're almost out of our own food, and you're giving it to a strange female! She's a useless person with no special abilities! You're a key member of the team, if you don't get enough to eat and don't have the strength, the whole team will be in danger!"

Shen Tang looked at her, "Is the food here... very precious?"

Yuna was so angry she almost laughed. "Are you really stupid or just pretending? This wretched place is teeming with mutated beasts, there's almost no prey to eat, and resources are extremely scarce. Food is the most scarce resource! We have to risk our lives hunting mutated beasts to accumulate points so we can exchange them for food at the shelter! Don't even think about getting something for free!"

She glanced at the others and said unhappily, "There wasn't much food left from the last exchange, just enough for the few of us to barely fill our stomachs and maintain our strength. Now this female is not only a useless piece of trash, but she also wants to take our food? Don't be so protective of her!"

Upon hearing this, Zhai Chen and the others, who had originally intended to share food with Shen Tang, fell silent.

Yuna has a fiery temper, but she's right; they really don't have any extra food to share with outsiders.

Qin Han's expression darkened slightly, somewhat embarrassed, but he still insisted on handing the food to Shen Tang, "We don't need yours. We'll be at the shelter tomorrow, and we can exchange for food again."

They hunted a lot of high-level mutated beasts this time, which they could exchange for plenty of food.

Shen Tang looked at him gratefully, but didn't accept it. "Thank you for your kindness, but I don't need it."

As an outsider, she is indeed not suitable to accept so many gifts.

Even if the other team members don't say it, they must be feeling uncomfortable inside.

Besides...

These canned goods and compressed biscuits are really hard to eat!
Her palate had been spoiled by Lu Xiao and the others; even if it were given to her for free, she wouldn't be able to swallow it!
Moreover, Shen Tang has no shortage of food. Her space is filled with mountains of delicious food. Xue Yinzhou and Xiao Jin often go hunting when they have nothing to do. Lu Xiao and Jia Lan make her enough dried meat and preserved fruit to last her for ten years.

Shen Tang pulled out a large pile of dried meat from her spatial storage and enthusiastically invited, "I have some to eat, and a lot more. Would you like to try some? It tastes really good!"

Bai Lei originally wanted to give her her share, but when she saw her casually take out so much food, she was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth and her voice trembled, "Xiao Fu... this... this is all your food?"

Shen Tang nodded, "Yes, I have plenty more. Just let me know if you want any, and I'll make sure you're full."

The orcs present all paled, their hearts filled with turmoil. They could even smell the rich aroma of meat, and for a moment wondered if they were hallucinating.

Even Zhai Chen, who always had an innocent smile, stopped smiling, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.

Qin Han sensed something was wrong and immediately stood up to block Shen Tang. He then turned to his teammates and said, "Rest where you are after you finish eating. Don't meddle in other people's business."

Zhai Chen and the others snapped out of their daze and suppressed their dark thoughts.

To be honest, seeing so much precious food laid out in front of a weak female without any special abilities, it's hard for them not to have the urge to snatch it.

However, since the boss has spoken, they don't want to be the bad guys.

Zhai Chen patted his face, squatted down in front of Shen Tang, and asked mysteriously, "You wouldn't happen to be a Tun Tun rat, would you~?"

Shen Tang solemnly declared, "I am a member of the cat tribe!"

Zhai Chen chuckled, sniffed the beef jerky in her hand, and licked his lips. "It smells so good. Can I have a piece to try?"

Shen Tang generously gave him the whole bag.

She also gave everyone on the team a bag of jerky, and even Cole and Yuna each received a large bag.

They were all flattered and surprised.

Food is the most precious thing to them; they've never seen such generous people in their lives.

Yuna was also stunned, looking at Shen Tang suspiciously, and muttered softly, "...So kind? Could it be poisoned?"

Bai Lei rolled her eyes. "If you're not going to eat it, give it to me."

Yuna took a deep breath of the tempting aroma of meat, and couldn't bear to part with it. Seeing that others had eaten it without any problems, she took out a piece to try—and then her eyes lit up.

too delicious!

This is the shared sentiment of all the beastmen present.

They had never eaten such delicious food in their entire lives!

After wandering in the wasteland for more than half a month, this was the first time I had eaten something so comforting and satisfying. I was incredibly happy.

Remembering how they had just haggled with Xunfu over a few compressed biscuits, they felt embarrassed and tacitly stopped mentioning it.

Qin Han also tried a piece of jerky and was instantly captivated by its unfamiliar yet delicious flavor. His gaze towards Shen Tang became increasingly complex.

With such an outstanding appearance, and the ability to casually produce so many precious foods, what is her background?
and……

This little female is so unsuspecting.

"A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime." A female with no special abilities carrying so much food could easily be killed and her valuable resources stolen.

Qin Han told her, "Don't show these things in front of others in the future."

Shen Tang smiled at him and nodded obediently, "I know, but I think you are good people!"

When she smiled, her eyes curved like crescent moons in the night sky, both innocent and alluring. Qin Han's breath hitched slightly, and he felt his body begin to heat up.

It’s weird.

Shen Tang didn't notice the man's expression. Her idea was simple: to test whether these beastmen were trustworthy.

So far, it seems that this team is of decent character, so she can feel at ease following them for a while.

Two parts combined, 4,000 words~

good night!
