Even without cheats, we must survive the apocalypse

Even though this situation seemed to have been resolved, she still couldn't help but worry. However, Chu Yan had to admit that there was a hint of joy in her heart, as if fate had tied them together tightly.

Chu Xiao didn't like this depressing atmosphere, so he took the initiative to joke with the girls: "I feel like I have become a Super Saiyan. Every time I get hurt, I seem to get a little stronger."

"This situation is more like capacity expansion." An Suxin speculated that while the huge force impacted his body, it also increased his body's tolerance to the force, just like a pool that is getting bigger and bigger. However, this method of increase is very risky. Once the body can't bear it, there is a risk of a dam collapse.

"I personally suggest that you get closer to your sister." This was not a joke, because Chu Yan could obviously ease and soothe the virus in Chu Xiao's body and reduce the risk of his internal balance being completely disrupted.

"By the way, speaking of things that get out of control, I have another discovery." Gu Ke sat cross-legged on the sofa and raised his hand to speak, "Now there are obviously fewer cases of losing control due to emotional triggers or other factors. It is completely different from when the disaster first broke out."

In this regard, the girls discussed and speculated that it might be because the initial outbreak of the virus has passed and the human body has gradually adapted to coexisting with the virus, so many reactions will no longer be as intense as at the beginning of the disaster.

An Suxin wrote down these conjectures in her notebook. They could only make guesses and speculations, and with the limited information they had, they could barely outline the vague contours of everything.

Finally, this discussion about disasters, viruses, and body changes ended with An Suxin closing her notebook.

After a while, there was a knock on the door of the lounge, and Zhu Zhilin walked in cautiously. She first nodded to the girls in the room, and then respectfully asked Chu Xiao: "Mr. Chu, are you looking for me?"

Although she was called here early in the morning, the woman had no complaints at all.

After spending these days together, everyone has become familiar with each other, and Chu Xiao is too lazy to pretend to be sour, but Zhu Zhilin still insists on treating Chu Xiao and others with the attitude of a benefactor and superior. Chu Xiao also tried to persuade them, but Zhu Zhilin didn't listen, so he stopped insisting.

"Well, I have something to tell you," Chu Xiao said with a smile, "We have been here for a while, and it is almost time to leave."

Zhu Zhilin shuddered, bit her lip, and swallowed the words of persuasion that were on the tip of her tongue. She had known that this day would come, and that this group of people could not stay here forever. It was her greatest luck to be able to meet them.

The woman took a deep breath and forced a smile: "May I ask when you plan to leave? I will ask them to make some preparations."

"No, no, we can just leave on our own later, there's no need to make a big announcement and prepare," Chu Xiao said, "We've already moved the things we need to take with us to the car these days, so we can just leave. You're the first person here that we've met, so before we leave, I thought I'd at least tell you."

"Can't you stay for a while longer?" Zhu Zhilin couldn't help herself after all and said words to keep her, completely ignoring Chu Yan's eyes that suddenly turned cold.

"Thank you for asking us to stay, but we don't like too big a team, so we won't stay," Chu Xiao handed Zhu Zhilin a wrapped paper box, "This is a parting gift. You can open it after we leave."

Zhu Zhilin took the box and found it a little heavy. But at the moment, she was not in the mood to pay attention to the things in the box, so she asked softly, "Are you leaving now?"

His voice trembled slightly, and he asked the same question as before, but his tone was completely different. After knowing that Chu Xiao was leaving, Zhu Zhilin noticed that the people in front of him had changed into clothes that were convenient for movement, and the luggage in the lounge had been packed up.

"After I finish talking to you, we'll set off. It's still early in the morning so as not to disturb those who are resting."

"Then... let me see you off," the woman said with a forced smile, "at least let me help you carry the luggage."

Because of Zhu Zhilin's strong insistence, Chu Xiao did not object.

The group left the lounge where they had stayed for several days, walked down the stairs quietly, and headed for the back door of the club. The back door was sealed with furniture, and a woman was standing guard in front of the door. When she saw Chu Xiao, she was about to say something, but Chu Xiao signaled her to keep quiet.

The alley outside the back door was quiet. In the dim morning light, there seemed to be a little moisture in the air.

Their riot control vehicle was parked in a corner not far from the door, covered by some sundries. Chu Xiao quickly moved the sundries away, and the monster-like black riot control vehicle once again revealed its huge presence.

The fuel has been fully replenished in the past two days, and a lot of supplies have been collected. Adding some of the things brought before, even with the huge size of the riot police vehicle, there is a sense of crowding.

The girls got on the car one after another. An Suxin sat in the passenger seat, looked out the window, and waited for Chu Xiao to come up.

The young man turned around and saw that Zhu Zhilin had brought out her daughter Ru Ru. The little girl had obviously just woken up and was still rubbing her eyes.

"Ruru, say goodbye to your uncle." Zhu Zhilin said to her daughter.

"Goodbye, uncle." Although the girl was young, she knew what parting meant.

The girl's crisp voice made Chu Xiao feel very happy. He rubbed the little girl's head, squatted down and said, "Grow up healthy."

"When Ru Ru grows up, she will go find her uncle!" the little girl said without restraint.

Chu Xiao laughed: "Then uncle will wait for Ru Ru to grow up and come to me."

He stood up and said to Zhu Zhilin, "Live well."

"you too."

Although simple, it is the most sincere blessing in such a terrible and dangerous world.

Chu Xiao waved to the mother and daughter, got in the car, sat in the driver's seat, and started the engine. The huge metal monster seemed to come alive again, letting out a low roar, then rushed out of the alley and soon disappeared.

Zhu Zhilin and her daughter watched the riot van leave, and they suddenly felt a little empty in their hearts. The loss of that sense of security made her feel a little scared of the world outside the club. However, the mother shook her head vigorously, forcing herself to raise her head to face the outside world.

She glanced at her still somewhat confused daughter and thought: From now on, I really can only rely on myself...

"Mom, what's in the box?"

If it wasn't for her daughter's reminder, Zhu Zhilin almost forgot the box Chu Xiao left for her. The woman unpacked the box, and the moment she opened the lid, her eyes widened.

Inside the box was a black pistol.

Chapter 28 Considerations

The black riot vehicle passed through the dim morning light. From time to time, zombies rushed out from the side and tried to chase and block it, but they were quickly thrown away or directly knocked away by the riot vehicle.

"I actually didn't expect that you would plan to leave a pistol for them." Chu Xiao, who was driving, said to An Suxin in the passenger seat.

It was not Chu Xiao who suggested leaving a pistol for the group of people in the club, but An Suxin. The pistol given to Zhu Zhilin was from the Ruan family's basement. Even if it was given away, it would not have much impact on their small team, but Chu Xiao still didn't think that his secretary was the kind of good person who would show mercy to strangers.

"Why," the secretary looked out the window with a playful smile. The car shook, probably because it ran over a dead body. "Do you think I am such a cold-blooded woman? Can't I have a little sympathy?"

Not only Chu Xiao, but also the girls in the back seat rolled their eyes, indicating that they did not believe it at all. After being together for such a long time, Chu Xiao knew very well that his secretary must have done this "good deed" out of some kind of interest.

"However, there are indeed some considerations." An Suxin said lightly, and everyone immediately showed an expression of understanding.

"It's not as complicated as you think. It's just a casual move at most." The secretary explained helplessly to his companions.

They did not intend to join a large group of survivors, that is, they were not prepared to integrate into a private force, but it was almost inevitable that groups would emerge one after another on this land. The survivors would spontaneously gather together, use the power of the group, and gradually rebuild a social structure.

Humans are social creatures after all. In the context of the apocalypse, the importance of the group becomes more prominent. Not everyone will choose to stay away from the group like Chu Xiao and his friends. But even for them, all they can do is stay away from the group instead of staying away from it.

"Unless we run to the mountains, cultivate a piece of land, and live a pastoral life isolated from the world," the secretary glanced at the members in the car. A bunch of pretty girls who are as beautiful as flowers don't look like they can work in the fields. These young ladies who grew up in the city can only grow plants at best, but they may not be able to keep them alive. "So, it is inevitable that we will have intersections with these groups."

An Su was thinking far ahead, and with her usual skill of unraveling the mystery, she presented the future of their small team before their eyes.

"Even if we find the boat smoothly and hide on the sea, the yacht needs fuel, and we also need food and fresh water. We can't avoid these forces on the ground to supply various materials." She stopped using the term "survivor group" and began to call it "force" directly. "Civilization will eventually be rebuilt, but it will inevitably be in a completely unfamiliar form to us."

"So, you left them a pistol..." Chu Xiao muttered, with a strange expression, "You hope that they can grow into a force that can support us...? Just relying on a gun? Just relying on those women who will only run away when they encounter danger?"

"First of all, it's not them," An Suxin corrected, "but her. The gun was left to her alone as a trump card to gain the right to speak in that team."

Chu Xiao initially started helping the group of people in the club out of good intentions, because this behavior would not harm the interests of the team, and they did need a place to rest, so An Suxin did not say much. But since Chu Xiao started helping the group of people in the club to get on the right track, An Suxin began to consider how to turn this "goodwill" into practical "connections."

Among the people in the club, Zhu Zhilin and Chu Xiao were the closest, and relying on Chu Xiao's prestige, she became the leader of the club. But this situation is likely to change after Chu Xiao and his friends leave. After the team gets through the initial chaos, those women with their own thoughts may not necessarily obey Zhu Zhilin's arrangements. The gun left for her is not used to deal with zombies, but to establish prestige. In other words, it is used to deal with disobedient people.

As long as Zhu Zhilin is not a fool, he should know where the gun should be used.

"Secondly, don't underestimate Zhu Zhilin." An Suxin said with a smile, "In that club, if there is anyone who can lead those women to survive to the end, it must be her."

"You are so optimistic about her?" Chu Xiao could never forget how helpless and pitiful Zhu Zhilin looked when he first met that woman.

"Because she's a mother..." The secretary said in a faint voice, revealing an inexplicable smile, "For the sake of her children, a mother will burst out with unimaginable strength and obsession... Most of them..."

…The last “vast majority” is a little heartbreaking.

"But no one can guarantee that they can grow into a force that can support us. There are too many uncontrollable factors." The person who spoke was Chu Yan. As another think tank in the team, the girl questioned, "And people will change. You can't guarantee that a temporary favor will be enough to make a force a helper. Ingratitude is also the norm for humans. Long-term cooperation must be based on interests after all."

"So, this time, I'm just investing in a possibility, the so-called 'venture capital'," An Suxin obviously had considered this, "As for the exchange of interests in long-term cooperation, it's not the time to consider this issue at this stage."

Chu Yan nodded, agreeing with An Suxin's point of view.

Chu Xiao slowly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that his brain was not enough. He had never expected that there were so many considerations behind An Suxin's sending of a gun.

He sighed, "So we might meet Zhu Zhilin and the others in the future? You should have said it earlier. When we separated, the atmosphere was as if we would never see each other again."

An Suxin smiled lightly, and there was a hint of tenderness in her eyes as she looked at Chu Xiao.

In fact, there was another reason, which she did not say.

Chu Xiao helped clean up the scum, and personally taught the women in the club how to survive in the apocalypse, which really took a lot of effort. Chu Xiao himself might just treat it as a casual thing and not pay much attention to it, but An Suxin saw it all.

If that small club base was destroyed so easily after they left, wouldn't all her man's hard work over the past few days be in vain?

An Suxin never cared about the life or death of those women. She already had something she really cared about and there was no room for anything else.

——Since you have been rescued by the man of my family, you must live well and spend your whole life repaying the kindness he has shown you!

While they were talking about future plans, the riot police vehicle had already driven out of the city and onto the seawall road. Under the early morning sunlight, the endless blue sea reflected sparkling waves.

Chapter 29: Seaside

This is a rare good weather. After a few days of scorching heat, the weather is gradually turning cooler.

Chu Xiao opened the car window, and the slightly fishy sea breeze rushed into the car, making everyone's spirits rise for a moment. Several seabirds flew around the car, so close that it seemed that they could be touched by hand. Su Muhe, who was romantic by nature, actually opened the car window and quietly reached out to the seabirds flying beside the car window.

The seabirds were frightened and flew away immediately, but they did not go far away and continued to hover around the car from a distance.

On the other side, Ruan Mengmeng couldn't help but stick her head out of the car window, making cute weird noises facing the sea breeze, which made Gu Ke keep reminding her to be careful.

Chu Xiao saw this scene in the rearview mirror and smiled knowingly. He held the steering wheel with one hand and supported the window sill with the other arm, feeling quite comfortable.

Driving, facing the sea breeze, and taking a group of young and beautiful girls with me in the sunny weather, for a moment I really felt like I was out on vacation.

The girls in the car were obviously a little excited. When they were in the city, there were zombies and debris everywhere, which made people feel physically uncomfortable. The blood-stained streets and burning ruins only made people feel depressed. At this moment, they were walking along the empty seawall road. The sea was calm and rippling not far away. It seemed that they had changed into a different world without realizing it. Everything made people feel open-minded. Except for Gu Ke and Yun Duoer, they had actually walked this road before, but Chu Xiao was trapped in the shelter at that time, and the girls had no intention of enjoying the sea view.

"That's great. Why don't we just find a place, park the car and play for a while," Chu Xiao suggested. "We're not in a hurry anyway, and I haven't been to the beach for a long time."

Chu Xiao's proposal was unanimously agreed by the girls. Ruan Mengmeng even pointed out that there was a small beach in the area, which was usually not crowded and the scenery was very nice.

So Chu Xiao immediately stepped on the accelerator and drove towards the beach. After the seemingly endless struggle for survival and escape, an unbridled entertainment would prevent them from being driven crazy by this oppressive world.

The beach is not far from the sea view villa area. A short walk away will lead you to the golden sand beach of Yuntai City's seaside park. A considerable number of tourists gather there every summer. Therefore, it is conceivable that at this moment, the beautiful golden sand beach may have turned into a picture of hell with blood and flesh flying everywhere.

This rather secluded little beach is very nice, hidden between the reefs on the shore. The only sounds you can hear are the wind and the sound of waves hitting the shore. The cool sea breeze exudes an immersive and intoxicating feeling.

The black riot vehicle stopped not far away. Chu Xiao got out of the vehicle alone, carrying a shotgun loaded with bullets. After a careful inspection, he waved to the girls who stayed in the vehicle.

However, when the door of the riot van opened and the girls rushed out, Chu Xiao's eyes widened. His girls had actually changed into swimsuits in such a short time... No, the more critical question was, when did they even stuff their swimsuits into their luggage?

"My eyes are about to pop out of my head." An Suxin walked gracefully in front of Chu Xiao and turned around in front of the young man leisurely, "Does it look good?"

The secretary was wearing a white bikini at the moment, which was extremely revealing. The pair of peaks on her upper body were wrapped in a small piece of cloth, revealing her seductive waist in front of Chu Xiao, which was so slender that it could be grasped in one hand. Her lower body was a small triangle swimming trunks the size of a palm, with bows tied on both sides, which made people want to untie the knot that looked unreliable. In addition, there was a long skirt made of translucent gauze. As she moved like a dance, the gauze fluttered, and her entire white and slender legs were vaguely hidden between the gauze skirt.

"It looks good..." Chu Xiao said blankly. He had seen her many times without clothes, but the luxurious and provocative bikini still made Chu Xiao's heart beat fast. He was almost stunned. "... When did you prepare the swimsuits?"

"I put them in the bag when I was collecting supplies a few times before," An Suxin said, enjoying the greedy look of the man in front of her. "After all, we were already prepared to take refuge at sea, so it's better to prepare some swimsuits in advance. They don't take up much space anyway."

She stepped in front of Chu Xiao and whispered in his ear, "Would you like me to apply some sunscreen?"

Before Chu Xiao could answer, he heard a deliberate cough coming from beside him. Chu Yan put one hand on her waist with a somewhat unfriendly look on her face.

Her swimsuit was black, and although it was a one-piece style, the sides and back of the swimsuit were hollowed out. The girl's entire beautiful back was exposed to the sun, so white that it was almost blinding, like a whole piece of white jade, carefully carved by a famous craftsman.

"Come on, brother, let's go to the sea." Chu Yan took her brother's hand and walked towards the sea. Her bare feet left a string of delicate footprints on the beach. "We haven't been to the beach for a long time."

"Watch your step, there might be broken glass or something like that." Chu Xiaosheng reminded, his eyes completely attracted by his sister's smooth back.

"Know it."

The younger sister pulled Chu Xiao to stand in the sea water. The cold sea water made Chu Xiao shudder. The girl stood on the edge of the waves. As the tide surged, her jade-like beautiful feet were submerged in the sea water. Her delicate and lovely toes couldn't help but tighten.

Chu Xiao didn’t have a swimsuit, so he could only simply roll up his pants to his knees and step into the sea with his sister.

"I still remember the first time I came to the beach as a child, I was afraid to go into the water. But my brother played a trick on me and jumped into the water while holding me. I drank several big gulps of sea water and felt so uncomfortable." The sister showed a look of reminiscence, bent down and stretched out her hand to brush the sea surface, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and then she suddenly exerted force and splashed a handful of water on Chu Xiao.

Facing his sister's sudden attack, Chu Xiao had no time to dodge, and his clothes were soaked. The young man immediately had the urge to play, and he scooped up the sea water and splashed it on his sister. He didn't care whether his clothes were wet or not, and splashed water on his sister indiscriminately, and soon gained the upper hand.

"Haha, Sister Yan! Let me help you!" Ruan Mengmeng shouted, and joined the battlefield in a bright red bikini. In addition to a pair of proud honey-colored long legs, the girl's beautiful buttocks also looked particularly round in the swimsuit.

"Okay, you two against one, right?" Chu Xiao pretended to be defeated and immediately called for help from a nearby area, "Su Su, come and help me!"

Hearing Chu Xiao's call, the girl who was watching the game was obviously stunned, and then immediately rushed into the cool sea water with a smile: "Brother Xiao, I'm here."

Compared to others, the old driver Su Muhe's swimsuit style is the most conservative. She wears a very ordinary low-cut swimsuit, but the arc created by the size is enough to make an ordinary swimsuit glow with a sexiness that surpasses a bikini.

The four of them were playing and laughing, just like they were free-spirited children again.

On the other side, the real children looked at the people playing and fighting in the sea as if they were idiots, pouting and sighing in a mature manner. Yun Duoer was wearing a cute children's swimsuit and a small sun hat, carrying a plastic bucket and a small shovel, and digging holes on the beach one after another.

Gu Ke also followed Yun Duoer, like a child who had not grown up. He completely forgot his dignity as an adult and excitedly put shells, crabs and other things he dug out of the sand into a plastic bucket.

Everyone thought that it would be great if such a relaxing and joyful moment could continue forever...

(ps: Swimsuit back, are you satisfied?)
