Riding on His Coattails and Surviving the Apocalypse - Chapter 36

Chapter 36 Those Forgotten People and Things (2)
“Haha, I’ll go first. Look at all of you being so rude and frightening. Come eat something and drink some water first.” Lou Xiaoluo looked at the food handed over by a gentle man. Although she wanted to escape now, she could not resist the temptation of food. Those who had never been hungry would never know how terrifying hunger was. Although he didn’t have enough to eat, he had eased up a little.

After eating, Lou Xiaoluo looked at the person walking towards her, The horror in her eyes could not be concealed. Lou Xiaoluo’s appearance made the three people laugh loudly. At this moment, Lou Xiaoluo burst out with strength and a water column rushed towards her. While those people were in a daze, Lou Xiaoluo quickly retreated to the corner of the wall. Her entire body trembled and she stared blankly at her hands.

“I didn’t expect to awaken a water attribute ability.” They were very short of water. It seemed like the plan was going to change. Otherwise, it would be a loss if someone was killed by them. In any case, women were everywhere. There was no need to lose a water type Adept for this.

“Looks like she is still very useful to us. Lou Xiaoluo, how about this, we won’t touch you, but we’ll leave our water to you in the future.” Lou Xiaoluo kept nodding. At this time, she was finally not so desperate. She would work very hard, but she didn’t know how long this water attribute ability would protect her. “Damn it, get us some water.” “I don’t know how to use it.” Lou Xiaoluo had just awakened her ability and didn’t know what to do.

“Forget it, there’s still some water there. Chong Chong, hurry up.” Lou Xiaoluo covered her ears. She did not dare to look, nor did she dare to help her. She did not want to know what had happened. However, Lou Xiaoluo understood that the woman had died, and she had just died. This was the first time Lou Xiaoluo realized that not only were there zombies in the apocalypse, there were also some people who were not even as good as zombies.

In the following week, The five men rescued two more women, It was the two sisters. During this period, Lou Xiaoluo also learned to let go of water. Although the amount was not large, it was barely enough to drink. Lou Xiaoluo was so tired that she could only exchange half of the water for a little food every day, but the two sisters could get more than her. At that time, Lou Xiaoluo was envious, but she could not betray herself until her group was accepted by a larger team.

That day, they entered a larger team. The captain was a man in his forties. Because the apocalypse awakened his abilities, he looked like he was in his thirties. Before the apocalypse, he was a professor at a university. The third brother and the others were his students.

“Teacher, the five of us have awakened two abilities. The other three have also killed zombies. As for these two women, they can amuse everyone. The one with the head lowered is called Lou Xiaoluo. It’s a water ability. We haven’t touched her.” When Lou Xiaoluo heard Third Brother mention her, her body trembled, but the captain’s eyes flashed.

“Alright, my name is Wan Wei. Everyone can call me Brother Wan. Take a day off today and start assigning tasks tomorrow.” After saying that, Lou Xiaoluo was led by a woman to the residence of a water type Adept in the team. There were also four water type Adepts in the team, three women and one man. Lou Xiaoluo found an empty place and said, “Are you a new water type Adept?”

“Yes, my name is Lou Xiaoluo.”

‘”Hello, I’m the leader of the Water Elemental Ability Group. My name is Ada. Let me tell you about the rules of our Hunting Group. Because we are Water Elemental Abilities, we don’t need to participate in all battles. However, we also need to do missions twice a week. Normally, we just need to store all the water we have to get. We need to hand over the three levels of the crystal cores we get.” Lou Xiaoluo’s eyes widened slightly, “The water element also wants to fight?”

“Haha, no, “As long as you can get the crystal cores or turn in the food, the amount of crystal cores that our water element usually accumulates is not enough. Furthermore, even if we hand over the food, we can only survive. Thus, we can only go out hunting. Of course, the number of times we hunt can be reduced accordingly. If you are a high-level water element Adept and can release a lot of water, then there is no need for you to do so.” Lou Xiaoluo’s heart turned cold. She had never hunted zombies before. She calculated that, with her ability, there was still a gap of three Tier 1 cores per month between each person in the regiment. Breakfast was provided free every morning at 8:00 a.m. in the base. Adepts could also receive a free dinner at 5:00 p.m. but the amount was very small. It was not enough to satisfy the consumption, so Lou Xiaoluo was still lacking a lot of cores.

“Take a rest today. I’ll take you to work tomorrow morning.” After Ada finished speaking, she went back to cultivate. Lou Xiaoluo looked at the three female Adepts. She did not look like Ada. Although she was somewhat thin, she did not look like a person who was working at full capacity. The next morning, After breakfast, Lou Xiaoluo and Ada went to drain the water, Lou Xiaoluo could not bear the excessive consumption of her ability. His head was dizzy, Her stomach was even more hungry. She could only get half full at night with great difficulty. If she continued for a long time, Lou Xiaoluo estimated that she would starve to death. Before the apocalypse, she had seen many refugees. At that time, she felt only regret in her heart. But when she thought of how she would be like that in the future, her heart trembled and fear unconsciously tightened her throat.

When Lou Xiaoluo returned to her residence, she heard sounds coming from inside. Lou Xiaoluo was no stranger to such sounds. Looking at Ada who was cultivating outside, Lou Xiaoluo’s face turned red. “Haha, it’s actually not difficult for women with abilities to live here. Of course, you have to pay for it.” Ada looked at Lou Xiaoluo and remembered that he despised those women when he first found out what they relied on for a living. However, the apocalyptic life was too terrifying. Ada had no choice but to accept it. He even used some food to exchange for women. He didn’t know how long this woman in front of him would last.

It wasn’t until very late that the man inside came out. “Oh, I heard that a newcomer came. Is this it? It looks so tender. If little sister wants to change her life, she’ll find big brother.” Lou Xiaoluo hid in the room with a pale face. Looking at the women cleaning herself up with water, Lou Xiaoluo’s face turned red. “What’s wrong? You look down on us. Haha, with your talent, you’ll probably become one of us soon.” Lou Xiaoluo silently hid in a corner, no one knew what she was thinking.

Another two days passed. Ada took Lou Xiaoluo out on her first mission. The three women sat at the side and cultivated. Lou Xiaoluo looked at them with envy. She had never killed a zombie since the end of her life. Lou Xiaoluo’s face was pale as she followed A Da to the assembly area. “You’re lucky this time. You want to be safe with the Guild Leader.” Lou Xiaoluo looked at the Guild Leader and slightly tugged at the corners of her stiff lips. An inexplicable light flashed in the Guild Leader’s eyes.

Killing zombies was indeed terrifying. Lou Xiaoluo’s water ball could only stop the zombies from advancing. It could not kill the zombies at all. Although Ada was also a water ball, the compression of the water ball was so small that it could smash the zombies’ heads into pieces. When Lou Xiaoluo was pounced on by a zombie, she was desperate. She didn’t want to die, really. Lou Xiaoluo waited for a long time but did not feel any pain. She suddenly found herself in the arms of the Guild Leader, and the zombie was already dead.

Lou Xiaoluo’s legs went weak and she did not find herself snuggling up to the Guild Leader in an ambiguous position. The people beside her were not surprised, “It’s okay, you’re safe.” The Guild Leader touched Lou Xiaoluo’s face and was satisfied with her delicate touch. Lou Xiaoluo was dumbfounded at this moment, and only reacted after knowing that she had been brought into the Guild Leader’s residence at the end of the mission.

“I, that, thank you, Guild Leader.” Lou Xiaoluo was at a loss. She could vaguely feel the captain’s intentions, which made her both hateful and happy. ‘”You’re a smart girl. I think you know that. How can a cute girl like you kill those stinky zombies? You should know what I mean by being so smart. Come, eat something first.” Wan Wei looked at the skinny Lou Xiaoluo and smiled with satisfaction. Although her complexion wasn’t very good, she was still young, delicate, and clean. She was much better than those women who looked unappetizing.

Lou Xiaoluo ate bread and drank instant milk tea, her eyelids drooping. If Lou Xiaoluo could eat such food yesterday, she would be grateful to the heavens, but today it was like chewing wax. She knew what she needed to pay to get these things. After Lou Xiaoluo finished her meal, she looked up at Wan Wei, who was obviously angry. Her face was a little red, “I, I want to take a bath.”

“Alright, just go over there.” Lou Xiaoluo carefully cleaned herself up. Since she couldn’t escape this fate, she would try to tie Wan Wei up and sell him to a person instead of many people. But at that time, Lou Xiaoluo did not understand that there were some things that could not be turned back once they started.

“This is my, this is my first time. Please have some pity on me.” After saying that, he raised his head and lightly kissed Wan Wei on the mouth. Wan Wei really felt that he had obtained a demon spirit. It was obviously extremely green, but it was very attractive. Lou Xiaoluo closed her eyes and tried to relax, Lou Xiaoluo let herself get involved in this transaction. By the time she woke up, it was already the morning of the second day. It was already a blessing to drag on the recovery of the Adept. Lou Xiaoluo smiled self-deprecatingly. Women like herself were everywhere in the apocalypse. A powerful man like Wan Wei didn’t take her seriously at all. She actually expected him to pity her.

After Lou Xiaoluo finished eating, she went to the place where she put the water. Looking at everyone’s usual gaze, looking at the malicious man around her, she told herself that she must hold onto Wan Wei tightly so that he wouldn’t be willing to throw her away.
