Even without cheats, we must survive the apocalypse

After doing all this, Chu Xiao had no intention of continuing to ask questions. He was not curious about why she appeared here alone and what she had experienced before, nor did he plan to recruit her as a companion.

After all, she was just a passerby whom he met and saved. After he left, whether she would die in the mouth of zombies or be found and saved by others was no longer his business. Next, the most he could do was to give her some food and water. In this world, doing this was already the most he could do.

"Sister Ke, what do you think of this arrangement?" Chu Xiao asked Gu Ke.

Gu Ke was slightly stunned by the title "Sister Ke", and a barely noticeable blush rose on her cheeks: "Well, this is enough."

However, at this moment, the woman suddenly knelt down and begged, "Please, help me!"

Chu Xiao frowned slightly, but he was not surprised by this development, so he decisively refused: "We can't take you away, just stay here and wait for rescue. Don't worry, we will leave some food and water for you."

The woman just shook her head desperately: "I don't need these, and I don't expect you to take me with you."

She looked anxious, as if she had finally grasped a life-saving straw: "Excuse me, do you have any medicine? Antibiotics will do! My child is sick."

Chapter 8 Mother and Daughter

The woman's plea made Chu Xiao stop in his tracks. He thought for a moment and whispered to Gu Ke, "Sister Ke, please ask someone to bring Su Su over here."

Gu Ke left as he was told.

Soon, the charming Su Muhe ran into the store in the heavy rain, and saw the woman kneeling on the ground with a look of anxiety and despair. She didn't know what happened yet, and didn't say much. She walked straight to Chu Xiao and asked coquettishly, "Brother Xiao, what's wrong?"

Chu Xiao pointed at the woman in front of him: "She said her child is sick and needs antibiotics. You know more about this, so I asked you to come and listen."

"We did collect a lot of antibiotics when we were collecting supplies before." Su Muhe said softly.

Hearing these words, the woman's eyes suddenly lit up.

However, Chu Xiao said coldly: "Don't be too anxious to be happy. Tell me the whole story clearly, and then I will make a decision. After all, you have to know that medicines in this world are very expensive. You think that you can just say a few words and let us give you the materials we have collected with great difficulty just for a pitiful price? Don't forget that you still owe me a life."

"As long as you give me the medicine so I can save my daughter, you, no, you can ask me to do anything!" the woman said anxiously, tearing open the curtains wrapped around her body, revealing her white body.

The meaning is self-evident.

Chu Xiao frowned and waved his hands: "Wrap it up again for me. I've already told you that I'm not interested in you."

As if to prove this point, Chu Xiao waved to Su Muhe, and the girl obediently sat on Chu Xiao's thigh, pressing her beautiful body tightly against the man's body, and the pair of plump fruits pressed against his chest, changing shape. At the same time, Chu Xiao reached out his hand and embraced Gu Ke's slender waist beside him, pretending to be arrogant with both arms around her.

Gu Ke rolled her eyes at Chu Xiao and said nothing more. She often dealt with so-called villains, and Chu Xiao's current look really made Gu Ke want to complain: His acting is really bad.

Su Su giggled and nestled in Chu Xiao's arms, appearing very submissive.

Until this moment, Chu Xiao had not let down his guard. He deliberately acted fiercely in order to prevent these outsiders from thinking that he was weak and to prevent these people from demanding kindness without any bottom line.

In this kind of world, it is more appropriate to show a villainous face to the outside world.

……

The woman said her name was Zhu Zhilin, and she was a member of a small survivor community in the area. She was an ordinary white-collar worker before the disaster, and after her divorce, she worked alone with her daughter. Her daughter, who had just started kindergarten, had been in poor health since she was a child. On the day of the disaster, she took leave to stay at home to take care of her unwell daughter, just in time to avoid the initial outbreak of the disaster.

At first, the family still had some food in stock, which was enough to sustain them, but as time went on, the family had less and less food, and they could no longer sustain themselves. Later, by chance, she took her daughter and a group of survivors to hide in an entertainment club. The manager of the club became the leader of the group. At the beginning, the group of people got along well, but as the hope of being rescued became slimmer and slimmer, the food stored in the warehouse became less and less, and the atmosphere among the survivors in the club became more and more depressing. Everyone seemed to become sensitive and irritable, and several people even lost control and went crazy under this pressure, causing quite a mess.

This kind of depression reached its climax on the day when the water and electricity were cut off and the city's functions completely collapsed. The manager who once looked gentle and friendly rushed into the private room where she was with red eyes and tore off Zhu Zhilin's clothes in front of her daughter...

Zhu Zhilin could no longer remember how long the torture lasted, she just felt that everything had become muddled and painful.

When everything was over, she stumbled out of the box and found that similar things were happening in almost every box with survivors.

The place where a group of people were supposed to rely on each other and support each other turned into a decadent and absurd hell on earth overnight. They vented their negative emotions crazily and fell into the bottomless dark abyss.

Without the restraints of order and civilization, they quickly degenerated into beasts. Zhu Zhilin was treated as a plaything, and if it weren't for her daughter, she might have chosen to commit suicide.

Many women in the club suffered the same fate as Zhu Zhilin. A few of them could not bear it and chose to jump from the building and die, but more chose to surrender, or in other words, chose to fall into the abyss together, letting their reason melt in the crazy pleasure and forgetting this desperate world.

In the days that followed, the woman sold her body and fawned on the manager and others, and finally earned a place for herself and her daughter to live in this hell. However, her daughter's health has not been good. She started to have a high fever three days ago.

Zhu Zhilin was anxious, but she had no medicine, and there was no other way except physical cooling. She also tried to ask other people in the club for help, but how could these people in the base care about the life and death of an insignificant girl? By the third night, her daughter had a high fever and was unconscious. The woman had no other choice but to go out and fight for her daughter.

She entrusted her daughter to a female college student with whom she had a good relationship, and rushed out in the heavy rain to find medicine for her daughter. The people in the club did not restrict their personal freedom. After all, everyone knew that there were zombies everywhere outside, and running out would mean death.

The heavy rain gave Zhu Zhilin the opportunity to leave the club alive. She looked for a pharmacy in the storm. However, it was difficult to walk on this stormy night with extremely low visibility. She finally found a small pharmacy, but it was emptied by the survivors who arrived earlier. She was exhausted in the rain and didn't know how long she had been walking.

“…Then I met you guys.”

Zhu Zhilin finished speaking. She looked at the two stunning women in front of her and had to admit that she was jealous. It was not because of their beauty, but because they had such eye-catching looks. In this miserable world where the strong prey on the weak, their eyes still shone with hope. The mysterious man in front of her must be very powerful, otherwise how could he keep such a beauty in such a world?

...It's so unfair. Even though the world has been destroyed, it's still like this...

Chu Xiao listened to the woman's narration in silence, expressionless. This kind of thing was not rare in this world. He could imagine how human nature would degenerate after losing restraint, not to mention the mysterious virus adding fuel to the flames. He had seen even more miserable experiences in the shelter.

Miss Su Su was soft-hearted, and she felt choked up when she heard these things. She didn't want Zhu Zhilin to see her expression, so she buried her face in Chu Xiao's arms. She was suddenly a little glad that she had met Chu Xiao, and that she had good friends and friendly and reliable companions around her. Even if she was adventuring in the doomsday world, she could still nestle in the arms of her beloved man like this, and be cared for like a treasure.

Gu Ke just listened. She stood beside Chu Xiao and put all the decision-making power in Chu Xiao's hands.

"Of course I can give you the medicine." Chu Xiao tried to distinguish the truth from the falsehood in Zhu Zhilin's words, but soon found that distinguishing the truth from the falsehood was meaningless to him now. After experiencing the adventure in the shelter and fighting against various monsters, he was able to look at the possible threats from ordinary humans from a more calm perspective.

The rain outside had begun to subside, and judging by the situation, the heavy rain would stop soon. Without the protection of the heavy rain, it would be a pipe dream for this ordinary woman to walk back to the club alone.

Chu Xiao looked outside the house and felt Gu Ke's hand tightening unconsciously, so he raised his hand to appease the girl with a strong sense of justice, and said in a cold voice: "I still say the same thing, what can you bring to us. In other words, what price can you pay for it?"

Chapter 9 Price

——Price?

What price could she have?

Zhu Zhilin's face was full of bitterness. The only thing she could give was this body, but the man in front of her looked down on her. He obviously had no shortage of supplies, and was surrounded by beauties. What could she give? However, she had to get the medicine and go back to save her daughter no matter what, and she was willing to give everything for this.

"No matter what you want, I will get it, please! Please give me medicine! My daughter can't hold on any longer!" The woman knelt on the ground, her voice full of despair and misery, she had been pushed to the edge of the cliff.

Chu Xiao felt that the test was enough. If he continued to test, he would soon lose his conscience. Judging from the woman's behavior, what she said must be true. The despair and anxiety in her eyes must be true.

When Zhu Zhilin was in despair, she suddenly heard the man ask: "Have you taken a shower recently?"

"Washed..." This nonsensical question made Zhu Zhilin a little dazed.

"You've really showered?" Chu Xiao asked tentatively, because the girls had just complained to him that they hadn't showered for a long time and their bodies were almost smelly. Unexpectedly, he got a positive answer. "Now that the water supply has been cut off, do you still have the conditions to shower?"

The woman nodded: "There is a large water tank installed upstairs in the club. If we save some water, there will still be enough conditions for taking a shower."

Chu Xiao felt that Gu Ke's grip on his hand suddenly tightened a lot. Even Su Muhe immediately turned around and stared at the pitiful Zhu Zhilin, his eyes shining.

Chu Xiao found that he seemed to have underestimated the appeal of the word "bath" to girls. Chu Xiao's original intention was just to find an excuse to help this poor woman, and if that didn't work, he would try something simpler, but now it seems that this excuse is indeed an attractive enough price.

"Very good, this is the price," Chu Xiao said, "We will give you medicine and send you back, but the price is that our girls need a suitable place to take a bath."

Zhu Zhilin obviously didn't expect such a price, and said with tears streaming down her face: "Okay, thank you...thank you..."

……

"So, what do you think?"

He left Zhu Zhilin in the store temporarily and took the two girls back to the car to discuss things with other people.

When they heard that it was a place where they could take a bath, all the girls' eyes lit up. Even An Suxin, who was always calm and rational, couldn't help but quietly lower her head and smell the scent on her body.

"Go, of course I have to go." Ruan Mengmeng raised the knife in her hand and said nonchalantly, "Even if there is any risk, just cut it off with a knife. Why think so much?"

Chu Yan and An Suxin also nodded in agreement: "Then let's go and take a look. If it's really as that woman said, just think of it as cleaning up the garbage. If it's really a lie or a trap, there's nothing to be afraid of."

The car full of guns and bullets alone was enough to give the girls enough confidence, not to mention that they had already faced many monsters that were much more terrifying than humans along the way.

Since everyone agreed, Chu Xiao thought about it and decided to add another insurance - before going to war in ancient times, people would predict the good or bad luck first.

So, Chu Xiao woke up the sleeping Yun Duoer, so that the youngest member of the team could have some sense of participation.

"What are you doing?" The little girl yawned, rubbed her cute eyes, and was very irritable after getting up. "I'm very sleepy."

"We have encountered an emergency and would like to ask for Yun Duo'er's opinion." Chu Xiao rubbed Yun Duo'er's cute little head, explained the situation, and pointed in the direction of the destination, "Girl, do you think this trip is risky?"

The little girl tilted her head and thought for a while: "I don't feel anything special right now, and it doesn't seem dangerous to go over there. I'll feel it again when we get close to our destination."

Hearing this, Chu Xiao felt relieved. He suddenly laughed at himself, thinking that he had become so cautious. When the disaster first happened, he rushed out of the zombie swarm with An Suxin. At that time, he was terrified, but also felt the pleasure of being freed from all restraints, like a wild animal returning to the jungle. But now, with important family members and companions gathered around him, he became worried again, and felt shackled.

However, this time, he wore the shackles willingly.

"I really can't be a wild animal..." He smiled. It was already early morning and the rain had gradually stopped.

Gu Ke drove the riot vehicle to the door of the shop, and then Su Muhe got out of the car with a set of clothes of similar size. Not long after, he walked out of the shop with Zhu Zhilin.

Zhu Zhilin was shocked when she saw a ferocious and domineering steel monster parked in front of the door. When she got in the car, she saw a car full of beautiful women, and she felt as if she had fallen into a cluster of beautiful flowers. She was surprised that the two women she had seen were already rare beauties that she could not compare to, and now there were two more beautiful women in the car.

Then, she saw the boxes of guns and bullets in the car. Her face turned pale and her hands and feet began to tremble.

... Could these people be mercenaries from somewhere?... But why is there a little girl here?

She was a little scared, but then she thought, if these people really wanted to do something to her, she would have no ability to resist. She had no other options anyway, so she might as well trust them.

Chu Yan even took a couple more glances at Zhu Zhilin's face, and determined that this woman's looks were just above average and posed no threat at all, so she stopped paying attention to her.

"These are the antibiotics you need." Su Muhe took out a box of medicine from the reserve supplies and handed it to Zhu Zhilin.

The woman held the box of medicine tightly to her chest: "Thank you, thank you very much!"

"Now you just show us the way," Chu Xiao said, "We will take you back and collect the agreed fee."

At this point, he suddenly smiled, but this smile was clearly a bit cruel: "Of course, before collecting the payment, I'm afraid I have to clean up over there."

Ruan Mengmeng smiled sharply when she heard this. She slowly pulled out her samurai sword, with faint traces of blood on the blade. She placed the long sword on her knees and slowly wiped the blade with a wet tissue. The sharp blade reflected a cold light in the darkness. She knew very well what Chu Xiao meant by this sentence. It meant that this simple trip was not to kill zombie monsters, but to kill people.

The posture of this group of strangers made Zhu Zhilin a little scared. She felt that she might have really encountered a group of "bandits" and taking them back to the base would be like "letting a wolf enter the house."

...But what if I "let the wolf into the house"? Zhu Zhilin was furious, thinking of the torture she had suffered in the club and her daughter was still in danger. These people were her last hope. As long as they could save her daughter, she would accept it even if it was really like courting death!

The black riot vehicle started again and, under the guidance of Zhu Zhilin, sped towards the club.

Chapter 10 Club

Under Zhu Zhilin's guidance, the group soon arrived near the club. In the dark night, the signboard that once had bright lights had long been extinguished and half collapsed, just blocking the main entrance of the club.

Yun Duoer looked up at the building in the dark, and after a careful perception, she nodded: "I have confirmed it, there is no risk."

Along the way, Chu Xiao had learned the basic situation of the club from Zhu Zhilin. There were more than 30 people in the building, and the leader was Qian Hao, who was the manager of the club before. He had more than a dozen men under him, and he firmly controlled the entire club. Anyone who dared to raise objections was brutally purged. As for the weapons in their hands, Zhu Zhilin did not see any powerful weapons in their hands. At most, they had knives, iron rods, and a fire axe.

The car stopped at the corner of a dark alley, not far from the back door of the club. Zhu Zhilin had walked out of this door before.

Chu Xiao looked at the building, and for a moment he felt a little emotional. Not long ago, he had just escaped from a large shelter that was heavily guarded and full of monsters and conspiracies. Compared with that, the small shelter here was so shabby that it was unimaginable. He even felt that he could just walk in with a swagger.

This was indeed the case. Judging from the information Zhu Zhilin revealed, with Chu Xiao's current ability, it would not be difficult for him to go in and play solo. However, he still reminded himself to be cautious. After all, he was not sure whether the information Zhu Zhilin provided was correct. Who knew if there would be any unexpected problems.

Chu Xiao felt that he really couldn't believe his bad luck. Moreover, although his self-healing ability was very strong, he was still injured and had not fully recovered.

"Mengmeng, Sister Ke, let's take our stuff and follow Miss Zhu upstairs. The rest of you stay in the car and wait for our news."

The girls had no objection to this arrangement. Su Muhe and Yun Duo'er had no fighting power, so they naturally had to stay in the car. Chu Yan was in a state of uncertainty, so she should try not to take action. Among the remaining people, An Suxin was the only one who could drive. She switched to the driving seat, ready to respond to any emergency and ensure a safe retreat.

Chu Xiao brought his shotgun, Gu Ke took a pistol loaded with bullets, and Ruan Mengmeng sheathed her knife in a very cool manner.

Zhu Zhilin watched the group of people prepare, and she really felt that they were making a fuss over nothing, using a butcher knife to kill a chicken. But she didn't say anything, she just wanted to see her daughter as soon as possible.

The back door of the club in the alley was closed. Zhu Zhilin was thinking about how to open the door when she saw the beautiful Ms. Gu walk to the door, point the silenced pistol at the door lock, and pull the trigger.

As soon as the door was opened, a strong and strange smell hit the nose, causing everyone in front of the door to frown. It was a mixture of alcohol and vomit, plus various hormones, and it seemed to have fermented and smelled bad. This showed how the person hiding here was in a state of decadence.

"It seems that this damn place really needs to be cleaned up."

Zhu Zhilin led the three people into the dark corridor. It was obvious that the decoration was extremely luxurious in the past. It must have been a high-end entertainment venue. Chu Xiao and others passed by a private room and saw that the door was open. Two young women were sleeping on the sofa inside. They were naked, with painful and distorted expressions. There were traces of dirt all over their bodies, and even serious marks of strangulation and cigarette burns. The ground was covered with spilled wine, vomit, and scattered clothes.

"This is the kind of life we ​​live." Zhu Zhilin's mouth twitched, as if she saw how dirty and miserable she used to be. "It's like becoming animals that can only mate, and can only numb themselves with alcohol. The two of them are already lucky. There are a few girls who want to be human beings, not animals, and are locked up in other places. Their experiences are much more miserable than this..."

Zhu Zhilin shuddered, obviously thinking of some cruel scenes: "Qian Hao used this method to demonstrate to the disobedient people, forcing them to become animals and playthings. The obedient ones can be less abused, and the disobedient ones can't even be human. There was a man who spoke up for those girls before, and he was thrown into the zombie group by Qian Hao's people... Officer Gu, have you ever seen people eat each other?"

The woman pointed to her chest expressionlessly and said, "They bit and ate a girl's chest. Now it's a bloody hole."

Even though they were mentally prepared, the expressions of several people turned ugly.

"At the beginning, there were still people who resisted, but soon, as the situation worsened, many people gave up on themselves, preferring to indulge in the pleasure of decadence rather than face this hopeless reality... If I didn't have a daughter, I'm afraid I would have already sunk into it, and I don't know what I would have become."

Admittedly, this place is very different from Sun Baishi’s previous shelter, but the despair in this extreme environment and the evil of human nature after losing the shackles are still exactly the same.
