Even without cheats, we must survive the apocalypse

"No problem, I feel really good now." Ruan Mengmeng patted her arms to show that she was very strong.

"We've already discussed it. Strengthening can't be a reason to take risks!" Chu Yan's face darkened, making Ruan Mengmeng immediately feel a little depressed.

"Besides, have you forgotten what happened before?" An Suxin added, "It is now obvious that excessive use of the virus to strengthen the body can easily lead to loss of control."

"Okay, I surrender." Ruan Mengmeng raised her hands to admit her mistake, "Sister Yan, I won't dare to do it again."

Fortunately, this time Ruan Mengmeng did not lose control like she did last time when she chopped down a floor of zombies. It seemed that after what happened last time, she had gradually adapted to this level of enhancement.

"Let Su Su check your body later, just in case."

Su Muhe nodded. Although there was a lack of key equipment, recording data such as body temperature and heart rate were still useful.

"Mengmeng, how is my brother?" Chu Yan asked the question that the girls were most concerned about at the moment.

Ruan Mengmeng naturally concealed her close contact with Chu Xiao, and followed Chu Xiao's instructions not to expose Yun Duo'er's existence: "Brother Xiao has already sneaked in safely, and I have delivered the things to Brother Xiao. But when I left, there seemed to be a big mess in the shelter..."

She told a few people about her encounter with Zhou Wanmeng. Except for An Suxin, the other two people were also very familiar with Zhou Wanmeng, and they couldn't help but sigh when they heard about her experience.

"I'm not surprised that something bad happened there, but... the water there seems to be deeper than I thought." An Suxin looked at the only source of light in the distance - the shelter with a backup power supply was particularly dazzling in the dark night, "... I'm beginning to regret agreeing to let him go."

"Sister Yan, Sister Su Xin, I think there is something else I need to report to you," Ruan Mengmeng's next words made the girls' already bad mood sink to the bottom, "On the way back, I seemed to see a big rat..."

Chapter 34 Plan

mouse.

For the girls who had experienced what happened at school on the first night of the disaster, this was a very traumatic event.

"Let me ask you something," Su Muhe lowered his voice, as if he was worried about alarming something terrible, "Is it the kind of 'rat' we have seen?"

"I'm not sure. It's very fast, and I can't see it clearly at night, but..." Ruan Mengmeng also knew that the thing was weird, and her face became more solemn. "It's very likely. After all, big blood-red rats are rare."

Su Muhe groaned with a pale face. She could never forget the scene of being stared at by that horrible monster and hundreds of scarlet eyes.

The place where the blood rat was found was not far from the shelter. The girls didn’t know whether the appearance of the ghost thing there was just a coincidence, or whether it was a scout-like existence.

The last time they encountered that ghost thing, the disaster had just broken out. In a sense, the ghost thing that controlled the blood rats had just been born after eating up a class of students. But even the newly born blood rat queen had almost wiped out Chu Xiao and the others.

It has been several days since then, and the girls don’t think that the thing will remain unchanged. God knows what it has grown into after all these days.

"But... why did it come here..." Su Muhe didn't want to experience that terrifying situation again, "This place is so far away from the school..."

Chu Yan was not that surprised. Although she was basically in a coma when she met the Blood Rat Queen, she had heard her companions describe the dangerous situation at that time, so she knew the strangeness of that thing: "If that thing likes to eat people, then it's not surprising that it came here."

——After all, this area is probably the largest gathering place of survivors in Yuntai City.

The girls were already a little worried about Chu Xiao's situation, and the news brought by Ruan Mengmeng made things even worse.

"Sisters, it seems that what we have to do can't wait. That thing appeared nearby, and even with that shelter as bait, we can't guarantee our safety here." An Suxin said softly. Although Chu Yan curled her lips when she heard the word "sisters", she did not object to the title after all.

"It's not a big problem. I have already planned the route while you are sleeping today." Chu Yan deliberately emphasized the word "sleep".

An Suxin smiled calmly and didn't take it to heart at all.

"Sister Yan, do you really want to go there? I can't guarantee that those things are still there." Ruan Mengmeng scratched the back of her head, a little embarrassed, "After all, the last time I went there was a few years ago."

Miss Ruan had such a reaction because the big move the girls were preparing was related to her. They were going to cross half of the city and go to a large villa of the Ruan family located in the wealthy area by the sea. It was a rather secret property of the Ruan family, and Ruan Mengmeng had lived there for a while when she was a child.

According to Ruan Mengmeng herself, it was more like hiding there than living there at that time - after all, the Ruan family had offended quite a few people in the past.

By the way, Ruan Mengmeng's mother died young, and before the disaster, her father happened to go overseas for business. She only had a half-brother in China with whom she had a poor relationship, and could even be considered a stranger. After the disaster, Ruan Mengmeng rarely mentioned her family in front of her companions, and even if she did, she would casually say that it was useless to worry.

"Whether it's still there or not, it's worth going there." Chu Yan said, "We also need to strengthen ourselves. Besides, it's by the sea, maybe there will be other things we are looking for there."

That villa was the Ruan family's secret safe house before they were cleansed. According to Ruan Mengmeng's memory of having stayed there for a period of time a few years ago, there was a small "arsenal" underground in the villa.

Chu Xiao could never have imagined that less than a day after he left, his girls had already come up with an even more daring adventure plan.

Just as the girls were discussing what to do next, a call from Chu Xiao came through the intercom in Chu Yan's hand.

Although the straight-line distance between the small supermarket and the shelter was not far, and the walkie-talkie that An Suxin found was quite powerful, there were still many buildings in between, which resulted in a poor signal and heavy noise.

"Brother!" Chu Yan shouted.

The girls found a way to send walkie-talkies and guns in together so that they could maintain contact in case the cell phones lost their function.

Through the noisy voice on the intercom, the girls learned about the ending of the shelter and what a horrible look the old annoying classmate had become. The girls also told Chu Xiao that Ruan Mengmeng saw blood rats near the shelter, which made Chu Xiao realize that the strange monsters he had encountered before might have come to this area.

However, Chu Yan did not tell her brother that the girls were already preparing to start a big operation.

The call didn't last long. After all, now was not the time to talk to each other, and the walkie-talkie had to save some power to prevent it from running out of power at a critical moment. They agreed on the next time to contact each other and ended the conversation.

"Okay, sisters," Chu Yan also used the same name that An Suxin had used before, "We don't have much time, does anyone mind staying up a little tonight?"

……

Hearing his sister's voice made Chu Xiao feel a little better, but a pleasant voice might not necessarily bring him good news.

That ghost thing actually came here too?

Chu Xiao hid on the rooftop with Yun Duoer and looked at the dark night. Thinking of the distorted and ferocious face, a chill rose in his heart. At this moment, he even had the urge to leave here immediately, get in the car with his girls, and get as far away from the monster as possible! Just as Chu Yan said, after so many days, God knows what the ghost thing looks like!

Compared to the Blood Rat Queen, Feng Junnian whom I just met can be considered cute!

"Are you in a bad mood?" Yun Duoer tilted her head.

"I'm not in a bad mood, I'm just sighing that when people are unlucky, they will get what they fear." Chu Xiao muttered a few words and rubbed Yun Duo'er's cute little head, "My cute little radar, do you feel anything?"

Yun Duo'er was a little unhappy. She wanted to move Chu Xiao's hand away from her head, but unfortunately she was too weak to move it at all. She could only pout and object: "I am not a radar."

"Okay, okay, then my lovely little goddess, do you feel anything?" Although he asked this, Chu Xiao didn't actually have much hope, so it was just a casual remark.

But Yun Duoer closed her eyes and really began to sense it seriously.

However, when the little girl opened her eyes again, there was clear confusion in her big, gem-like eyes.

When Yun Duoer was about to say something, Zhou Wanmeng appeared in front of Chu Xiao again. The shy Yun Duoer immediately shut her mouth, hid behind Chu Xiao, and hugged Chu Xiao's thighs tightly.

The poor girl had a serious expression on her face and said in a deep voice: "It's time for us to leave."

(ps: I am very tired today and my thoughts are not going smoothly... I am going to sleep first...)

Chapter 35 Ambition

At this moment, the shelter was plunged into a horrified silence.

After the policemen failed, the entire shelter no longer had the power to check and balance Sun Baishi's faction. Those black-clad men with guns were different from the thugs who were temporarily recruited. They were cold and sharp, and it was obvious that they had been baptized by actual combat. Even if the monsterized Feng Junnian had not intruded, those policemen would probably not be their opponents.

After the battle, these people quickly took over the management of the shelter, and all the survivors were gathered on the first floor, like a group of domesticated livestock.

After confirming that Chen Zhiyun had fallen from the building and had no chance of survival, Sun Baishi completely lost interest in what was happening next. With Wang Manyi respectfully watching him leave, he left the shelter area again and returned to the West District somewhat disheartened.

When Sun Baishi disappeared, Wang Manyi immediately dismissed the flattering and useless subordinates who surrounded her, until she was the only one left, and then she collapsed. The woman felt a layer of cold sweat all over her body, as if she had just been pulled out of the water.

This was the first time since she started following Sun Baishi that she realized that this man, whom she used as a stepping stone, was actually very scary. When Sun Baishi casually pointed out her little thoughts before, Wang Manyi really thought that she would die... like an ant being crushed to death, dying easily.

She breathed heavily and staggered to her feet. Although her mind was confused, she was still trying to think instinctively.

The closed shelter suddenly made the woman feel very scared and depressed. She walked slowly to the open-air garden on the fifth floor alone. In the cool night breeze, her anxious mood was finally relieved. Originally, for safety reasons, Wang Manyi would not let herself be alone, but now that the police in the shelter have been cleared out, she no longer has to worry about being suddenly held hostage again.

...After all, I've had that experience before.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

The woman curled up her body, clenched her fists and kept hitting the ground. She gritted her teeth and tore her hair frantically. Her pretty face was filled with fear, tears, and uncontrollable urge to laugh. Her whole face was distorted into an ugly appearance.

What she was experiencing now was undoubtedly the humiliation of failure, and the one who gave her this humiliation was the damn upstart whom she had always looked down upon and treated as a tool!

"I serve you so wholeheartedly, yet you still hide so many things from me!" Wang Manyi gritted her teeth, her hair disheveled, as if she had gone crazy.

However, what was even more difficult for her to accept was that the damn upstart did not care at all after clearly discovering her ambition, and even continued to let her manage the current shelter.

Pity? Love? Sympathy?

Wang Manyi certainly knew it wouldn’t be these tender things! The answer is she doesn’t care!

——The man clearly had more ambitious ideas and goals, and possessed power that she could not imagine. Therefore, he did not care about her ambitions at all, just like an elephant would not care about the ambitions of an ant.

After realizing this, the arrogant woman was not filled with joy for having been spared, but hatred and anger for being insulted. But at the same time, she had to accept the frustration in her heart. In this battle, she was not even qualified to be considered an opponent.

"Shelter...let me continue to manage the 'Shelter'?" The woman smiled silently, and suddenly trampled on the flowers in the flowerbed like a madman, "Damn 'Shelter'!"

Wang Manyi had always believed that Sun Baishi gathered the survivors in order to obtain enough population to develop his own power based on the shelter. But now she realized that the people Sun Baishi had taken so much trouble to gather in the shelter were just consumables for a certain experiment!

No, this damn place can no longer be called a "shelter". After clearing the obstacles, Wang Manyi finally learned from Sun Baishi the new name of this place, which was also what it should have been called.

——“Farm”.

This word made Wang Manyi feel a chill, as if she was no longer a human being, but was being treated as livestock. She suddenly felt a sense of emptiness. The power that women crave is to rule over people and to establish an order that belongs to her. Is ruling a group of livestock considered power?

But she was not the kind of woman who would give up easily. It was not an exaggeration to describe her as a vicious woman. After experiencing a period of setbacks, her ambition not only did not die, but burned even more vigorously.

"I will make you regret it...I will make you regret letting me go!"

At this moment, she wanted to know Sun Baishi's secret, because she was sure that if she could master what Sun Baishi was hiding, she would get something far more valuable than the false "power" now! Before, she had a plan to enter the West District. As Sun Baishi said, it was not an accident that Wang Manyi was "hostage" to enter the West District. In other words, it was indeed an accident at the beginning, but she took advantage of the process afterwards.

On the night when the city lost power, the policewoman surnamed Gu suddenly rushed up in the dark. She must have seen the situation as critical and wanted to take advantage of the darkness to decapitate Sun Baishi. Since there was no cooperation from others, that action was undoubtedly Gu Ke's arbitrary decision.

So, Wang Manyi took advantage of Gu Ke's reckless behavior and pretended to be held hostage by Gu Ke, and then under Gu Ke's coercion, she "had to" take her to the West District. Unfortunately, the guards in the West District were much stricter than Wang Manyi knew. That area had used a completely independent power supply from the beginning, so the power outage in the city did not affect the operation of the West District at all, so that they were discovered by the guards as soon as they entered the gate of the West District. The female police officer surnamed Gu therefore abandoned Wang Manyi, injured the guards and fled to the depths of this area, but Wang Manyi was stopped by the guards and did not see Sun Baishi's secret.

As for what happened to the pretty policewoman named Gu, Wang Manyi didn't care at all - judging from the fact that Sun Baishi was able to show up safely afterwards, the annoying policewoman was probably dead.

Wang Manyi's mind was spinning wildly. As time went by, her fear gradually subsided, but the woman's eyes became more and more fiery. It was as if fear was fueling her ambition.

After all, if she was not such a woman, how could she have struggled in the bottomless world of fame and fortune in the entertainment industry for so many years?

Finally, the woman calmed down. She took a deep breath, straightened her messy hair, and prepared to put on that calm smile again and return to the shelter... no, the farm.

However, at this moment, a hand suddenly stretched out from behind the woman, covered her mouth, and then dragged her to the corner at an extremely fast speed.

Wang Manyi, who was suddenly controlled by someone, was not frightened, but another thought emerged in her mind: How could I encounter such a thing again?

(ps: This chapter is about a bad woman, don't worry, this is not a harem...)

Chapter 36 Hostage

Let's go back in time a little bit.

Thanks to the information provided by Zhou Wanmeng, Chu Xiao avoided being driven to the first floor of the shelter like livestock. He and Yun Duoer followed Zhou Wanmeng and successfully avoided the group of black-clad men with guns, and then went up to the fourth floor of the shelter.

Zhou Wanmeng tried her best to look less nervous. Even though she had a strong will to support her revenge plan, she was essentially just an ordinary high school girl. The girl was not as special as the girls around Chu Xiao. If it weren't for this disaster that swept the world, she would have had an extremely ordinary life.

Fortunately, Feng Junnian's current status seems to be quite high, and those patrolling guards recognize Zhou Wanmeng's identity. After seeing the two unfamiliar faces of Chu Xiao and Yun Duoer, they stopped the two and briefly questioned them.

"They are the people that Manager Wang wants to see." The girl tried hard to make herself look impressive, but it seemed more like she was bluffing.

Because the police in the shelter had been dealt with, the vigilance of these people was also lowered a lot. In addition, Chu Xiao was accompanied by a child, which was really deceptive, so they asked a few simple questions and let him go. However, their eyes were always fixed on the delicate Yun Duoer, and the obvious dirty desires revealed by them made Chu Xiao almost unable to resist killing her.

In the end, Chu Xiao and his team successfully passed the inspection, but the young man noticed that the eyes of these people looking at Zhou Wanmeng were full of mockery and very little pity.

He heard the people's whispered but undisguised ridicule and insults, such as "the beast's toy" and even more obscene words that were more unbearable to the ears.

Chu Xiao believed that Zhou Wanmeng also heard it, but the girl just bit her lip and pretended not to hear it.

Most of the managers in the shelter were former street thugs. After all, they had not received much professional training and lacked organization and discipline. What really worried Chu Xiao were the black-clad men with guns who were driving the survivors downstairs. Chu Xiao was sure that if it was those guys, even with Zhou Wanmeng leading the way, it would definitely not be that easy for him to get in.

The battlefield on the fourth floor had been cleared, but there were still a lot of traces left, which actually made Chu Xiao's actions much easier, because a considerable number of surveillance cameras were damaged in the previous gunfight, resulting in a considerable number of surveillance blind spots. He noticed that there were still large pools of blood on the ground, and from time to time people would carry away corpses, but he didn't know where these corpses would be sent.

There were not many people actually patrolling and on guard, as most of them had died in previous conflicts.

Led by Zhou Wanmeng, Chu Xiao and Yun Duoer came to the fifth floor from a staircase with damaged surveillance - Wang Manyi usually stayed on this floor.

"I don't know where the entrance to the west area is. Wang Manyi may be the only one in the shelter who knows it. She is Sun Baishi's most valued mistress." Zhou Wanmeng felt a little guilty. Apart from helping Chu Xiao avoid those annoying guards, she couldn't really help much. "But what is certain is that the entrance should be on the fifth floor, because Feng Junnian always leaves from the fifth floor."

In Chu Xiao's opinion, Zhou Wanmeng has helped him a lot, whether it is helping him avoid those armed men in black or hiding from the patrolling guards, which has helped Chu Xiao avoid a lot of trouble. In addition, she also helped Chu Xiao lock the key to breaking the deadlock.

The entrance to the West District was hidden, and most of the visible passages were actually just disguises and were sealed tightly. Zhou Wanmeng only knew that the West District and the shelter shared an underground garage. If the supermarket under the shelter had not been occupied by zombies, it would actually be possible to get to the West District from the underground floor.

"You've helped me enough." Chu Xiao said, "Next, it's my turn. Go find a place to hide first. Don't worry, I will definitely help you with your revenge."
