In a frigid apocalypse, she fed her boyfriend until he became a zombie king.

"Oh, right!" Wenren Lei shouted towards the kitchen, "That Corpse King, it might not be in Xinchen anymore. I'm afraid it's eyeing your crystal core, so we need to be careful."

Fu Yan said, "Okay."

A1-V reports: "Master, someone has been detected approaching the RV."

Wenren Lei pulled out a tissue to wipe her mouth: "Who is it?"

The A1-V displays the external surveillance footage and projects it into the air.

The picture shows a child, whose gender is indistinguishable because he is dressed in thick clothes.

"Brother Yan, I'll go down and take a look."

"Okay, be careful."

Wenren Lei clutched a gun in her hand, pushed open the door, and got out of the car.

If the other party has malicious intentions, he will shoot.

Even children are not allowed.

In the apocalypse, there are countless instances of using children as bait to lower people's guard.

Ten meters away, he pointed his gun and warned, "If you have something to say, stand there and say it. Don't come any closer."

The small figure paused for a moment, then exclaimed with delight, "Brother Wenren!"

Wenren Lei recognized the voice but couldn't immediately place it: "Who are you?"

"I am Peach!" the child said in a childish voice.

Wenren Lei remembered; it was the child she had rescued at the kindergarten in the southern suburbs of Weicheng.

He slowly lowered his gun: "What are you doing here?"

"I saw smoke coming out of here and thought someone was calling for help, so I came over."

"So you came alone?" Wenren Leixin said, thinking that this child had a really poor sense of safety.

Peach shook her head: "My mom, several older sisters, and I came out to look for supplies."

Wenren asked tearfully, "Where are they?"

Peach lowered her head shyly: "I ran too fast and got separated from them."

Wenren Lei: ...

Just then, a voice came from afar: "Peach—! Peach—!"

Wenren Lei looked over and saw several women running towards him. He tilted his chin back and said, "Your mother is here to see you."

Peach turned around and waved, "Mom, I ran into Brother Wenren!"

Bai Yao was the first to rush to Taozi's side, squatting down to check her: "Are you hurt?"

Peach shook her head: "No."

Bai Yao stood up, pulled down her goggles, and looked at Wenren Lei: "Young Master, we meet again. Thank you for taking care of Taozi."

"I just chatted with her for a while."

Bai Yao smiled and looked him over: "You haven't lost weight. Looks like you're taking good care of yourself."

Wenren Lei looked down at herself and realized that she hadn't lost weight; in fact, she had gained three pounds when she weighed herself that morning.

He asked, "And you? How are you doing?"

Bai Yao looked back and saw several women standing far away, looking very reserved.

She turned back to Wenren Lei and said, "I've settled down here and built a small base. I'm keeping company with a group of sisters, and we can barely make ends meet."

"It's fine," Wenren Lei asked. "How long have you been here?"

"It's been over two months since I left Weicheng and came straight here, thinking that if I might run into you again, I could help you out. I never expected to actually see you again." Bai Yao paused, then asked, "Have you found President Wenren?"

"I couldn't find it." Wenren Lei looked behind her and said, "Sister Yaoyao, why don't you stay and have a meal with your friends?"

Bai Yao waved her hands repeatedly: "Supplies are scarce right now, so please don't spend money."

"It's not just about catching up. You've been in Qinggang for a long time, so you can tell me about what's going on here." He squatted down and patted Taozi's little head. "The child needs to eat some good food to nourish herself."

Wenren Leixin said: Actually, I was planning to have you help me with the work.

Bai Yao looked down at the peaches, then turned to look at her companions. She and her sisters had been struggling to survive in the apocalypse, and it had indeed been a long time since they had eaten anything decent.

After a moment's thought, she looked at Wenren Lei and said, "Then I'll have to bother you."

Fu Yan heard the conversation outside clearly and had already put on his black contact lenses while cooking.

As soon as the group stepped into the carriage, Fu Yan had already set out a hot pot table, along with several dishes that Wenren Lei had specifically requested.

The car was very hot, so Bai Yao and her group took off their heavy coats and scarves.

Wenren Lei finally saw what they looked like. Everyone had a sallow and haggard complexion, chapped skin, and dry, peeling lips.

It was indeed a very difficult time.

The peaches, on the other hand, were plump and didn't taste bitter at all.

Everyone was very reserved, and Wenrenlei didn't know how to entertain guests.

Fortunately, Fu Yan was considerate and eased the awkwardness with a few words, and the atmosphere soon became lively again.

Seeing that he didn't need to worry about the guests, Wenren Lei took a freshly baked bread and handed it to Taozi: "Try it, Brother Fu makes very delicious desserts."

"Thank you, Brother Wenren!"

The bread was bigger than Peach's face. She tore off a large portion and gave it to Bai Yao, then took a big bite of the rest, puffing out her cheeks and praising, "It's so delicious! Brother Fu is amazing!"

"I'll bring you some when I go back."

Peach thanked him again, then stopped talking; she hadn't had hot bread in a long time.

Wenren Lei pinched her little face and chatted with Bai Yao.

"Sister Yao Yao, you've been in Qinggang for so long, have you heard any news about my brother?"

While eating, Bai Yao said, "When I'm collecting supplies, I always ask around, and all the survivors I meet say they've never seen Wenren Zong before."

Wenren Lei frowned and didn't reply.

Bai Yao continued, "But you can go check out Area 11."

"Area 11? Suzaku Base?"

"That's right, it's the closest large base to Qinggang City, about 400 kilometers away."

"Do you think my brother will go?"

"Very likely."

Wenren Lei pondered for a moment: "I think my brother will be looking for me everywhere."

"Both possibilities are possible," Bai Yao suggested. "Why don't you stay here for a few more days? Most of the sisters in my base are locals and can help you investigate carefully."

"Sure," Wenren Lei readily offered a collaboration. "How's your combat strength? Can you protect yourselves? If so, could you also help me mine some more crystal cores? I can provide the supplies."

Bai Yao didn't stand on ceremony at all: "We have the fighting power, just make sure you're well-fed."

She knew in her heart that Wenren Lei was not short of supplies. She had visited every warehouse in the Wenren family and found that even cosmetics and other items were empty. However, Wenren Lei was not in a hurry, which meant that he knew where the supplies were.

Wenren Lei smiled and said, "We can cooperate long-term. As long as you work well for me, I will provide you with plenty of food, clothing, medicine, and hygiene products."

Bai Yao said, "To be honest, we're a small base with over a hundred people, so we have plenty of manpower. Plus, our base is entirely staffed by women, who are very meticulous in their work."

"All women?" Wenren Lei was somewhat surprised.

Bai Yao nodded: "My base only needs women. I believe you've already seen it; women are the easiest to abandon in the apocalypse, so I've gathered them together." Her gaze swept over her sisters who were eating with their heads down. "We are each other's greatest support."

The other women's eyes reddened when they heard this, but they continued to stuff food into their mouths.

Only when you are well-fed can you have the strength to survive.
