Two days later, because the journey back to the headquarters was about the same as their team’s original route, Gu Chi followed the original promise and was going to drop Chi Ying to a C-level safety zone while passing by.

There were less than forty people in the C-level security area, most of them were adult men. There were only about ten women, and two of them had children.

Seeing Gu Chi and his party, most of them didn’t react, just lowered their heads and went about their own business. Only a few muscular men looked their way from time to time.

They planned to stay there for one night. After leaving the laboratory, they hardly had a good rest in the previous two days. So once in the safe zone, of course they needed some rest.

Lu Yunfei was still a little reluctant to part with Chi Ying, and thought about it for a long time in the safe zone.

“Hey, only if you were an ability holder, could you still be with us…”

Even if her ability was not strong, if she could protect herself, she would be good enough to stay with them.

Holding some water and food they gave her in her hands, Chi Ying forced a smile.

She was a little absent-minded…

In the farthest corner of the safe area, sat women like her. But those people were as skinny as she had never seen before.

There were two people in slightly better condition, but their clothes were already tattered, and their bodies were also covered with bruises.

There was almost no communication between them, they just hugged their bodies silently. There was still a little brilliance in the eyes of the two children, and they caressed the baby in swaddling with their skinny hands.

“Hey!” As they were talking, a hoarse and unpleasant male voice suddenly interrupted them, “You guys, where are you from?”

Lu Yunfei raised his eyebrows and stared at him rather frivolously.

“Busy? Hehe, you all who came from outside should have supplies, right? Hand them over!”

“Oh? Why?”

“Why? Or face your grandfather’s (my) fist!”

The man made a gesture and came over, and a woman with a child behind reminded Lu Yunfei,  “Be careful, he has a knife!”

When one of the men cast a cold glance at the woman who spoke, and silently threatened her, the woman shut her mouth.

“Oh, he has a knife…” Lu Yunfei said leisurely.

“Hehe, how about it, hand over the supplies, and we might make your life more comfortable.”

As he said that, the man suddenly noticed Chi Ying who was holding the supplies next to Lu Yunfei, and his eyes stopped at her.

A woman… Such a beautiful woman!

That appearance, even before the apocalypse, was definitely the best that people could only look at from a distance.

Seeing that he didn’t move for a long time, the accomplices behind couldn’t help urging, “Zhigang, what’s wrong?!”

The man came back to his senses and realized that he hadn’t finished his business yet.

He snorted, thinking that it would be better to deal with those people first. Afterward, that woman should also belong to one of them… When all those people become dead, wouldn’t she automatically belong to him?

Thinking of it, he got a little uncomfortable.

Those few of his accomplices would definitely demand a share. Usually it was fine, but with such a top-notch woman, it was really a pity for him to share her with a few people.

“Hey!” Sensing his lustful gaze, Lu Yunfei stopped him with a cold face.

“Hmph, you really wish to die!”

The man swung a punch, full of momentum.

Lu Yunfei avoided in an unhurried manner, using only one hand to pinch the fist that was hitting him with all his strength. He turned his wrist, and forcefully pulled the man’s arm behind his back.

“Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!”

After one arm was dislocated, the man resisted the pain from his shoulder and took out a knife from his waist with the other hand.

Lu Yunfei squinted his eyes, let out a light snort, and raised his foot to kick his chest.

The man was kicked so strongly that he couldn’t get up, and lay on the ground for a long time without making a sound.

“That’s all you can do?”

To deal with the kind of empty talk, there was no need for him to use his ability.

He glanced at those accomplices, and said coldly, “You want to fight?”

One of them couldn’t bear it, and made a gesture to get up to fight him, but was stopped.

The man who stopped him lowered his voice, “He is skilled, and he has so many accomplices, we have no chance of winning.”

“…”

Seeing that they had changed their minds, Lu Yunfei sat back slowly.

But thinking that Chi Ying would stay in that kind of place in the future, he frowned.

“Brother Gu…”

“Um?”

“It’s nothing,” he swallowed the words silently.

Living in the apocalypse, no one could live in peace and security. He knew the pressure on Gu Chi better than anyone else, and there was really no way to take risks for Chi Ying. One more person was one more burden on him.

What was more, instead of living with them in a life where life and death couldn’t be guaranteed, living in the safe zone, at least she would be safe.

Gu Chi responded lightly, he was actually distracted. It was not because of those troublesome men, but because of Chi Ying.

Ever since entering the safe zone, Chi Ying’s gaze had almost always been on those thin women.

That kind of situation was the norm in the apocalypse days, but the way she looked at those people somehow made him a little concerned.

How to say that expression…  

It was as if she was seeing the cruelty of the apocalypse times for the first time, and the blankness in her eyes almost made Gu Chi feel uncomfortable.

Chi Ying got up suddenly and walked toward the women who were gathered together, but almost no one paid attention to her.

“Are you hungry?”

The woman holding the child raised her head and nodded slowly.

Chi Ying placed the food in her arms on the ground, “It’s all for you all…”

The women looked at her one after another, and then moved their eyes to Chi Ying. But no one reached for the food.
