Chapter 626: Weeds
In everyone's shock, the wooden boat slowly descended and shrank in size.
Wang Xiaolei stepped off the bow and rushed towards Lu Ling.
"Sister Lu Ling——!"
Lu Ling also smiled happily, opened her arms and held Wang Xiaolei in her arms.
Lu Ling was the first acquaintance Wang Xiaolei met after returning.
When she left, the Paradise base had already been established.
But now, it was enlarged many times, so she couldn't recognize it for a while.
"Sister Lu Ling, are you... all okay?"
Wang Xiaolei felt the familiar aura on Lu Ling's body, as if she had been away for a lifetime. She felt like she had been away for a few months, as if she had been away for decades.
"We're...all fine."
Lu Ling thought of Jiangshan again, but did not mention it to Wang Xiaolei.
"The boss will be very happy to know that you are back."
"Isn't the boss here?"
Wang Xiaolei raised her head and asked disappointedly: "Where did he go?"
"The boss once learned that there are two herds of beasts in Mengzhou, and he personally rushed to conquer them a few days ago. He has been there for a few days!"
Lu Ling showed a doting smile, raised her hand and gently stroked Wang Xiaolei's hair: "I will inform the boss right away, and he will rush back immediately."
"No! Sister Lu Ling!"
Wang Xiaolei shook his head: "The boss's business is more important, so I'd better go see him!"
"Are you going to Mengzhou?"
"I want to give the boss a surprise!"
Wang Xiaolei smiled mischievously, then turned around and stepped onto the space boat.
Lu Ling frowned, feeling very worried.
Although Wang Xiaolei is strong now, she is too young after all.
After a slight hesitation, Lu Ling said decisively: "I'll go with you."
"Sister Lu Ling, Paradise Base...!"
"It doesn't matter. Now the sea of corpses in Zhongzhou has been cleared by the boss, and it is also protected by the Great Wall!"
"The three major forces have joined forces for common defense. It won't be a problem if I'm not here." Lu Ling smiled.
Wang Xiaolei's eyes lit up and she was very happy.
For several months, Grandma Emma had left her alone and thrown into the Black Armored Army without anyone to show her.
If Lu Ling was willing to accompany her, she would feel less lonely on the road.
The two of them immediately set off on the road, stepped into the space ship, and headed north...
…
Liaozhou Military Region.
As night fell, in the wind and snow, a group of survivors in ragged clothes returned to the inner city from the safe zone established outside the city.
Jiang Xin'er was carrying a tattered woven bag, and through the holes in the woven bag, finely chopped roots of various plants could be seen.
A large amount of wet mud covered the woven bag and her clothes.
She had long black hair, covering half of her face.
The cold wind blew up, lifting her bangs, revealing her snow-white face, which was full of collagen and covered with horrific scars.
Her eyes were cold and numb, making the survivors around her reluctant to get close.
No one knows where this ugly girl comes from or why she appears in this base... and no one cares about this.
Because for most people, this ugly girl is dispensable.
There is no value in her.
Because at the beginning of the end of the world, when the survivor base is gradually formed, most of the strong men will be captured by the evolvers.
Responsible for building the base and setting up traps in nearby safe areas...
In the apocalypse, the lives of ordinary survivors are like a piece of grass.
So much so that most people died either from zombies, fighting for supplies, or various accidents...
Every time zombies attack the city, young and strong male survivors must defend together with the evolvers...
Nowadays, the ratio of men to women among ordinary survivors has changed from the beginning, where there were more men than women due to women's weakness, to almost two-thirds being women.
Any woman is more beautiful than Jiang Xin'er today.
With food shortages, the elderly and children are gradually decreasing, and most of the remaining survivors are young people...
Therefore, as young as Jiang Xin'er, there are many women who are better-looking than her.
She's at this base.
No one cares about life or death...!
No one knows why that ugly girl is different from so many others.
She is already so ugly, but she loves to be neat.
After digging out plant roots every day, most of the tired survivors would choose to rest.
And she always washed her clothes as soon as possible and tidied up the stone house that was leaking from all sides...
When everyone wakes up every morning, they will see that ugly girl, always holding a wooden comb, combing her clean hair neatly...
In this outer city where everyone's hair looks like a chicken coop, ugly girls are very different.
It's like... it's like she is trying hard to tell someone that she is living a good life now.
…
In the wind and snow, Jiang Xin'er trudged forward, and a male survivor quietly stared at her back, greedily looking at the plant roots in the woven bag.
Click!
Jiang Xin'er clenched the butterfly knife in her hand and slashed it across. In front of a stone house next to her, a meteorite was cut into two halves.
The cut is neat, like a mirror.
The man stared at the stone still spinning in the snow due to its inertia. His face instantly turned pale and he stopped.
He looked at Jiang Xin'er who said nothing, gradually walked away with a woven bag on her back, and disappeared into the growing night.
Jiang Xin'er came to the outer city. Near the edge of the northern city wall.
This is the dirtiest and most dilapidated residential area in the entire Liaozhou Military Region.
It is an area deliberately designated for the most worthless ordinary survivors.
The stone house where Jiang Xin'er lives was built with meteorites before winter.
At that time, no consideration was given to how to keep out the cold, and even the gaps in the stone walls were not filled with soil.
Half of the roof had already collapsed.
This stone house with air leakage from all sides is Jiang Xin'er's current home. She has tried her best to repair the roof with dead trees and rags, and fill the cracks in the walls with unchewable plant roots mixed with soil.
Even the tattered wooden door was repaired by an old carpenter from the outer city at the cost of ten pounds of fine grass roots.
Jiang Xin'er came outside the stone house and looked at the 'home' where she had devoted all her efforts. The vigilance in her eyes finally relaxed a little.
Just as she opened the door and was about to step in, she suddenly paused.
Looking back at the stone house next door, I could vaguely see through the leaky wall cracks that a bonfire was lit inside. The firewood seemed a little damp, the smoke was rising, and a man was choking and coughing...
She remembered that no one had ever lived in this stone house.
Now with the severe cold, no wandering survivors have entered the base.
Most of the ordinary wandering survivors froze to death and starved to death in the snowy fields.
As for the wandering evolvers, even if they enter the base, they will only live in the 'luxury' inner city!
"Cough cough cough...!"
The man seemed to be coughing harder and was out of breath.
Jiang Xin'er only took one more look before opening the door and returning home.
In the outer city, people died every day due to the cold, and she estimated that this person would not live long.
She secretly warned herself to be careful.
After this person dies, before he turns into a zombie, he must... chop his head off.
Otherwise, you will be in danger.
