"Okay, come to the second floor and I'll teach you."
Carol brought Qingxue to the second floor and patiently taught her how to make a simple life-saving rope with clothes.
A few hours later, Qingxue, who had used up all the clothes and sheets in the closet to successfully make a life-saving rope, wiped the sweat from her forehead with satisfaction.
“You’ve learned very well.”
Carol on the side encouraged Qingxue gently.
"Hey, I think so too."
Qingxue smiled.
"Let's go eat, although there's not much to eat."
Carol went downstairs with Qingxue.
"Maggie, let's eat."
Hearing the call, Maggie took out a small package of opened cookies from her bag, then took out six cookies and gave two to Carol and two to Qingxue respectively.
"There's not much food. If you're included, our food will last until tomorrow. We'll be hungry starting the day after tomorrow... Well, in fact, we might be in a state of mild but not fatal hunger tomorrow. So you have to quickly learn the rules of survival in the apocalypse and go out with us to search for supplies tomorrow. We can't support someone who can only eat and doesn't know how to do anything else... Carol and I will need to use these skills if you leave us by accident in the future."
Maggie began to speak.
"That's all... you have this small packet of cookies..."
Qingxue asked in astonishment.
"There's also a can of dog food and a can of peas, but that one is easier to store so it's our emergency food."
Maggie answered.
After hearing what Maggie said, Qingxue was convinced that the two of them were really kind.
After all, they risked starving to death to help her, an outsider, so now she should give something back to them.
"Um... ahem, well, there's a very powerful person in my family who gave me a kind of ability. I can take out food and daily necessities from inside. I want to share these things with you. If possible, I hope you can keep me safe for the next period of time, here."
As Qingxue spoke, she reached into the space bag in her pocket and took out some chocolate sausages and other high-calorie foods and drinks and placed them on the table.
Although he could find an excuse that he already had some food, if Moyin couldn't find it within two days, then taking out more food would make Carol and Maggie feel a little bit uncomfortable. After all, it meant that he didn't trust the two people who were very good to him.
Since she had to cooperate with the two of them to get through these few days, she thought about it and decided to confront them directly.
The advantage of taking out the supplies is that you can live quietly in this mansion without having to go out and take risks with zombies.
Indirectly avoiding the situation where he would be forced to use this unstable teleportation bracelet again.
She doesn't want to lose face.
"??????"
Carol and Maggie were stunned when they saw that the food and drinks were far beyond the capacity of Qingxue's pocket. What kind of operation was this? A miracle?
"Anything else you can bring out besides food and drinks?"
Maggie asked.
"Well, there are weapons too, but I don't know how to use them myself. But they come with instructions for use."
As Qingxue spoke, she took out various guns and boxes of ammunition and placed them on the table.
"Carol, I now begin to believe that good people will be rewarded..."
Looking at the large amount of weapons and ammunition that Qingxue took out, Maggie said with emotion.
"...Good people don't do things for the sake of reward, but we are indeed very lucky."
Carol answered.
"I don't think good people are rewarded. When Mo Yin was chatting with me, he said that there is no equal relationship between being good and being rewarded. To win, you have to be cunning, cold-blooded, cruel and strong. You'd better not be fooled by this saying that good people are rewarded. In fact, he said that most of the time, good people don't get rewarded, but instead suffer bad luck."
Qingxue spoke up to remind her.
"Don't worry about that. I just want to say this. We have lived in the apocalypse for a long time, and we have encountered people who repay kindness with enmity."
Maggie comforted Qingxue and told her not to worry about it.
"Well, the guy in my family, the one called Mo Yin, will probably come to find me in a couple of days if he finds out that I haven't come home for dinner. He's very capable and should be able to help you then."
Qingxue said that on the one hand, this was to send a signal to Carol and Maggie that she would not delay them for too long, and on the other hand, it was to imply that there were powerful people behind her who were protecting her and could find her accurately, thus completely eliminating the possibility that the two of them would want to steal her space bag.
Although she felt that the two men would definitely not steal her things, her years of street life experience had made her very cautious and suspicious...it never hurt to have an extra layer of insurance.
"By the way, do you have any wine?"
Looking at Qingxue who kept taking out food, Carol asked.
"Drinking at this time? Yes, but isn't it a bit... inappropriate to drink in this world?"
Qingxue asked with a twitching mouth, "There are zombies wandering outside, why would Carol want to drink?" She originally thought that Carol would not do such an outrageous thing.
"No, I'm not planning to drink. I want to make some simple Molotov cocktails. Molotov cocktails are much better for dealing with zombies of this magnitude. Even Maggie and I would find it difficult to deal with a zombie swarm. These automatic rifles are easy to use, but if the number of zombies reaches a certain level, we can't guarantee that every shot will hit the head accurately and kill the zombies quickly."
Carol began to explain.
"Ahahaha, so you're making Molotov cocktails. How about whiskey?"
Qingxue smiled awkwardly, it turned out that her vision was too short-sighted. It turned out that what Carol really wanted to do was to stop the zombies from taking action.
“I’d prefer to use vodka if I can, but if vodka isn’t available, whiskey will work.”
Carol answered.
"Yes, there is vodka as well. Feel free to use it."
As Qingxue spoke, she started taking out bottles of vodka.
Maggie, standing by, opened a bag of marshmallows and started eating them.
"It's really... I haven't eaten something this delicious in a long time. I really want Glenn to try it too."
Maggie was eating when she suddenly shed two tears.
"Glenn is?"
Looking at Maggie who suddenly burst into tears, Qingxue asked.
"...It was my husband, who was beaten to death by a man named Negan... Although our team finally wiped out your lair, the team leader Rick did not kill him, so Carol and I parted ways with the team... I couldn't even avenge Glenn."
Maggie smiled self-deprecatingly.
"This, this is too, your leader is too stupid... Isn't it normal to kill someone and pay with his life? At least you have to avenge your subordinates. Is this a leader picked up from a garbage dump?"
Qingxue was immediately furious when she heard what Maggie said.
If she knew how to fight, she would have wanted to kill Rick that Maggie mentioned.
"...Rick is a good person, except that he is not ruthless enough. He has led the team out of many difficulties before, and he has never given up on anyone. When my daughter was separated from us because of the zombies, he and Daryl were the ones who helped me find her. The other people in the team said there was no hope and that it was a waste of effort."
Carol spoke as she skillfully made a Molotov cocktail.
"So you must have found it in the end, right?"
Qingxue asked hopefully, but unexpectedly this sentence triggered a long silence from Carol. Qingxue suddenly felt something was wrong.
"Found it... in my warehouse. The child had turned into a zombie. My father Hershel originally wanted to lock the zombies in the warehouse and wait for a day to find a way to cure them, but the man named Sean opened the warehouse and killed all his patients. In the end, it was Rick who sent Carol's daughter Sophia away..."
Maggie answered.
Qingxue opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a word. This was really... too despairing.
"Although I now know that my father's idea is wrong and that zombies cannot be cured... But, hey......"
Maggie sighed, then stopped talking and continued eating her marshmallows.
"Rick did nothing wrong. He just wanted to eliminate necessary risks."
Carol continued to make the Molotov cocktail in a calm tone, but her slightly trembling fingertips betrayed her inner sadness.
Looking at Carol who was trying hard to suppress her grief, Qingxue spoke subconsciously.
"Do you miss her?"
"Yes... How could I not, Sofia? My dear daughter is everything in my life. I don't understand why God treats me like this... What did I do wrong? I still don't know. The child is very well behaved. She doesn't scream or cry. She is really my most beloved baby."
Carol replied sadly.
Qingxue was silent again. She just couldn't control herself and asked the question casually.
She didn't know whether the child Moyin, who had been dead for so long, could be resurrected, so she didn't dare to guarantee it to Carol.
After all, so much time has passed now. Although Carol is still very sad, she has more or less accepted the fact that her daughter is dead.
If she said here shamelessly that Moyin could help her resurrect her daughter, and then Moyin failed at the critical moment, it would be tantamount to giving Carol another heavy blow. So after thinking it over, Qingxue bit her lip and did not speak, but tore off a piece of chocolate and handed it to Carol.
"Eat some sweets, it will make you feel a little better."
Qingxue tried to comfort Carol in a clumsy way. After all, she had never comforted anyone before when she lived on the streets, and her emotional intelligence was not enough to comfort a sad mother.
"Thank you..."
Carol smiled gently and then ate the chocolate that Qingxue handed to her.
"If Sofia had learned how to fight at that time, perhaps everything would have been different. So if you have time, Qingxue, I hope you can also learn how to protect yourself. I don't want to see a child like you encounter misfortune again."
Carol emphasized.
"Okay, okay, I'll try my best to learn."
Qingxue nodded. She could more or less feel that Carol actually somewhat overlapped her daughter's image with her own, which was why she cared so much about her. So in order to make Carol feel better, she also planned to try her best to follow Carol's wishes.
"Qingxue, you..."
Maggie was about to say something but suddenly she became quiet, made a gesture to keep quiet, put down the marshmallow in her hand, then moved quietly to the window, opened the shutters and peeked outside.
"?"
Qingxue came closer with some confusion, and at this moment she heard a slight humming sound that seemed to be made by a fusion of many people.
Through the blinds that Maggie had opened, Qingxue saw large groups of zombies wandering around unconsciously.
Qingxue instinctively wanted to make a sound of fear, but she covered her mouth tightly with her right hand and only made a barely audible cry.
"It's okay, it's okay, we just need to stay quiet and we'll be safe, don't worry, nothing will happen, don't watch if you're scared."
Maggie held Qingxue's head in her arms and let her listen to her heartbeat.
