Before Shen Chengyin could finish his threat, Su Han, as if possessed by a starving ghost, opened the bottle without hesitation and swallowed two pills.

Shen Chengyin paused, while Su Han smacked her lips, her brows furrowing at the bitterness.

"Is that enough? If not, I'll have two more."

Shen Chengyin: "...No need."

Su Han returned the remaining medicine to Shen Chengyin and sat down obediently.

"You didn't even ask what this medicine was for," Shen Chengyin sneered. "It's a poison that kills instantly, and you're going to take it?"

Su Han lowered her eyes. "I don't know, but if you want to kill me, there's no need to beat around the bush."

Besides... if you don't eat it, you'll die even faster.

Shen Chengyin froze, his eyes filled with complex emotions as he looked at Su Han.

Su Han didn't dare to look up, so she naturally didn't notice Shen Chengyin's unusual behavior.

After a while, the man finally got up and flipped his wrist to put the medicine bottle back into his spatial storage.

"He asks me for the antidote every week; he'll die if he doesn't take it."

Su Han breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out to be a slow-acting poison controlling him... He thought he was going to die right there. With the protagonist's wary nature, only someone very close to him could betray him.

Never mind, as long as you're alive, there's hope.

Su Han stood up, clutching the wound on his neck, when Shen Chengyin suddenly grabbed his wrist. A few seconds later, the wounds on his neck and fingers had healed completely, leaving no trace except for the bloodstains.

It's a life-saving ability. Shen Chengyin actually took the initiative to heal his injuries.

"...Thank you?" Su Han was a little surprised.

Although it didn't hurt to begin with.

He found Shen Chengyin a set of clothes that fit him and cleaned the water out of the bathtub. Without this water, he had no drinking water at all, and he would have to find a way to get some back in the afternoon.

After doing all this, Su Han and Shen Chengyin sat calmly on a bed.

Of course, he wasn't entirely calm. Su Han was still a little scared. Shen Chengyin sat at the head of the bed, while he sat at the foot, far away from the man, with half of his buttocks sticking out.

"A few hours ago, when I left the city, I happened to see the city guards throwing away food. Two whole truckloads of spoiled food, they would rather throw it away than give it to the survivors. It must have been ordered by the leader."

Su Han was filled with righteous indignation, and while speaking, she observed Shen Chengyin's expression.

"So? What do you want to do?"

"I feel something is wrong. I want to expose the chief's behavior. If the chief is really a bad person, then we should remove him from his position."

After Su Han finished speaking, she heard Shen Chengyin let out a sarcastic laugh.

Shen Chengyin seemed not to believe him at all.

"Why are you telling me all this?"

"What I mean is, before that, could you spare my life?" Su Han said solemnly, "I'm someone who has a big business to attend to."

He hinted to the male lead that he was on the same side, but it's unclear whether this will earn him any trust. Considering he's also going to deal with Wang Jiafu, Shen Chengyin probably won't kill him.

"what ever."

Anyway, I hope the base was something that should never have existed in the first place.

Su Han doesn't care what she wants to do; in the end, everyone will die.

Shen Chengyin leaned against the headboard, suppressing the bloodthirsty hatred in his eyes.

*

Su Han now not only has to support herself, but also has a grown man to support.

Shen Chengyin's face was so distinctive that he couldn't possibly show his face. The task of searching for supplies fell to Su Han.

He goes out during the day to kill zombies and collect crystal cores, and at night he goes to the exchange to trade the crystal cores for supplies. Most of these crystal cores are bought by the superhumans in the base; everyone knows that absorbing crystal cores can enhance superhuman abilities.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Su Han used crystal core trading to make friends with many superhumans in the base.

Taking advantage of the crowded trading hall every night, Su Han deliberately raised her voice and said that she had found a cellar in a village a few kilometers south of the Hope Base, which contained several tons of coal and all kinds of pickled vegetables.

Unfortunately, he didn't have a vehicle at the time and couldn't transport it back.

The cellar and supplies were obviously fabricated; the purpose was to lure people to the pit in the south where Wang Jiafu buried spoiled food.

After releasing the news, he ignored everyone's reactions, shouting that he would definitely rent a car tomorrow to bring those things back, and then he left.

The best connections and resources in the base are all in the hands of those with superpowers. The pickled vegetables in the cellar may not be very attractive to them, but they definitely want those tons of coal.

The number of generators is far from sufficient, and the base is not yet fully electrified. Fuel is of paramount importance.

Sure enough, that very night Su Han heard that someone had tried to leave the city in the middle of the night but was stopped by the guards.

And it's not just one team.

One team of five superhumans was particularly arrogant. They directly attacked people, knocking down the guards on duty that night before leaving triumphantly.

Su Han stayed quietly in her villa, eating bread, and told Shen Chengyin everything she had found out.

"Even if they leave the city in the middle of the night, they definitely won't reach the cellar I made up. The car engine is so loud; it should have alerted the low-level zombies I attracted near the main road a few days ago."

Even if there were five superhumans, with their current power levels, they would only be able to run away.

He never intended for these people to find the village in the first place.

If even one of these five people escapes back, the truth about Wang Jiafu secretly burying spoiled food will be exposed.

Shen Chengyin raised his eyes and looked into Su Han's eyes.

Clean and beautiful eyes, but devoid of emotion.

The next day, Su Han went to the mission hall as usual to inquire about information.

Surprisingly, there were only a few people in the mission lobby.

He traded a zombie crystal core for a glass of water at the front desk and handed it to a skinny man in the corner of the lobby, whom everyone called the know-it-all.

The other person beamed after taking the water and immediately began to chatter on and on.

"Something big happened last night. Zhang Qiang and his team of five superhumans overthrew the guards on duty and broke out of the gate, saying they wanted to go out of the city to find supplies."

When Deputy Leader Wang found out, he immediately sent men to chase after them. Half of the base's guards were sent to pursue them, causing quite a commotion.

The guards and Zhang Qiang's group clashed halfway through the journey. The commotion attracted many low-level zombies, resulting in heavy casualties on both sides. Zhang Qiang's side lost two ability users, and the guards also suffered significant losses.

After finishing his speech, the know-it-all rubbed his hands together in front of Su Han, his face full of flattery.

"Actually, there's one more thing..."

Su Han understood and took half a loaf of bread from her pocket and stuffed it into the other person's hand.

The all-knowing man immediately put it away carefully and swallowed to moisten his throat.

"I heard that last night, two teams discovered something was wrong on the road. There were at least several tons of spoiled food buried there, not far from the Hope Base."

The superhumans receive care from Hope Base, and although the amount is small, they can still receive some supplies every month.

Needless to say, the guards rely entirely on the base for food, clothing, and supplies.

I wonder what these two groups will think when they discover that Wang Jiafu would rather let the food spoil and throw it away than distribute it to them.

Su Han sneered inwardly.

It's likely that what made these two teams turn back wasn't the low-level zombies, but rather their shock and anger at Wang Jiafu.
