On the road, the trio were completely stunned by Shi Sheng. Other than those explode-y purple balls, she also had an iron sword. That sword sliced through zombies like she was cutting through radishes.
In the end though, they got used to being shocked every so often.
They didnât understand what the deal was with that young man though. He didnât seem to do anything and when he ate, heâd always have an expression of disgust on, as if what he was eating wasnât precious food but something revolting.
Every time they saw that expression of his, the trio had the impulse to go and slap him.
âItâs the apocalypse! Food is very precious! Do you know how many people are dying or have died of hunger?! Do you know how many have lost their humanity and killed others just to get food?!â
But they discovered his IQ didnât seem very high so they suppressed that impulse. Fortunately, they wouldnât have to travel together for much longer. B City was getting closer. They travelled for about three days before finally seeing the gates to the B City safe-zone.
At that time, it was already Day 56 of the apocalypse, so the system of management in the safe-zone was already finalised.
âAre you guys leaving on your own, or following me?â Shi Sheng got White Tiger to keep some stuff in his space as she asked the three in the backseat.
She had been observing them for the past three days. Their character was quite good. Even after seeing that she had a lot of food, other than revealing some longing, they hadnât tried anything funny. Despite that, she left the choice of staying with her or not completely up to them.
âMs Gu means to say?â Qing Yuâs heart thumped wildly when he heard Shi Shengâs question.
âI need people to help me with stuff. If you guys are willing to stay, youâll be my people from now on. Perhaps in the futureâŠâ Shi Sheng paused and didnât continue her sentence. She looked at Qian Li.
Qian Li turned back to smile at Shi Sheng. âHungryâŠâ
Shi Sheng was speechless. âHungry your grandpa! What else can you do besides eat?!â
Qing Yu and the other two discussed it for some time before finally agreeing. In these few days of interaction, they had come to respect her from the bottom of their hearts. She was just a young lady yet was calmer than them when dealing with trouble. Besides, they had been saved by her, so even if it was for the sake of repaying this debt, they wouldnât refuse.
âBoss, since weâre on the same side now, can you tell me what that sword of yours is?â Lin Feng immediately changed his form of address and shamelessly asked Shi Sheng what he had always meant to ask. âIf you told me that sword could slice through iron like mud, I wouldnât doubt you at all!â
âThe Sword of Righteousness.â Shi Sheng had a âseriousâ expression as she spoke, âThe future of the world rests on this sword!â
Lin Feng was stumped. âI nearly believed you when you spoke like that. Is it really okay to be this chuuni?â
Shi Sheng laid down some ground rules for them. If they were her people, then they would need to play by her rules. And these rules were rather simple. It really just boiled down to two words: Obey her!
âGet off.â Shi Sheng hugged White Tiger as she got off the car first, followed closely by Qian Li. There were a lot of people in the queue, outside of the safe-zone, waiting for their turn to go in. Shi Sheng and gang were far behindâfar enough that they had to stretch out their necks to be able to even see the gates.
The people waiting outside were either cautiously guarded, greedily sizing people up or, as was evident from the state of the majority, had sunk into despair. This last type was the most commonly seen type after the apocalypse began. Even if they entered the safe-zone, they wouldnât be able to live long.
âHow long is this going to take?â Little Fatty had just checked out the front of the queue and run back to report. âThe queue looks very long. Some have been queueing for four to five days and they still havenât gotten in yet. â
âIsnât there a special entrance for ability users?â Shi Sheng furrowed her brows lightly. No matter which safe-zone it was, there would always be a special entrance to examine ability users.
âAh! I forgot to check. Lemme just go now.â Little Fatty ran towards the gates of the safe-zone again.
Shi Sheng ââŠâ âIâm beginning to wonder if taking these three in was a good idea!â
B City was a large safe-zone so naturally there was a special entrance for ability users. Her three new little bros were all ability users, so Shi Sheng saw no need to reveal that weird ability of hers. As a result, she and Qian Li simply had to prove they hadnât been bitten by stripping and allowing people to check their bodies. Once it had been verified that they had no wounds, they would be allowed into the city after a 24-hour quarantine.
It was at this point that the trio discovered their new Boss didnât have an ability at all⊠Due to the violence she had displayed before, as well as the fact that chopping zombies hadnât required the use of any ability, they had completely forgotten about this. As such, the trio were now even more resolute in their decision to follow Shi Sheng.
While Shi Sheng was stuck in quarantine, her three little bros went to find a place for them to stay and scouted out the safe-zone.
The safe-zone was currently accepting Nuclei in transactions. On the way, their group had chopped up quite a few zombies so they had plenty of Nuclei. Qing Yu managed to secure an apartment with three bedrooms and a living room for them.
Shi Sheng found that, excluding the gluttonous Little Fatty, Qing Yu and Lin Feng were quite useful.
âŠâŠ
âBoss, should we go and register as a mercenary band?â Lin Feng spoke enthusiastically, âMercenary bands can go for higher level missions than ordinary ability users. Boss, with your ability, I think weâll have no problems in taking on S-class missions!â
âHave you managed to get the information I told you to get?â Shi Sheng ignored Lin Feng and spoke to Qing Yu.
Qing Yu nodded. âYes. Qi Mingxue is a dual-ability user and the vice-captain of the Hurricane mercenary band. Her reputation in this city is quite good.â
âDual-ability?â Shi Sheng was surprised. âQi Mingxue was originally just an ice-type ability user thoughâŠâ
âEn. She was originally just an ice ability user but awakened a healing ability later on. This ability is more precious than a space abilityâif normal people are treated in time, they wonât turn into zombies even if they were scratched!â A hint of longing appeared on Qing Yuâs face as he finished speaking. âIf there were more healing ability users, then there wouldnât be so many people who turn into zombies because they got scratched.â
Seeing the expression displayed by Qing Yu, Shi Sheng sighed inwardly. âNeeds more brainwashing so he doesnât act soft while doing stuff for me.â
Shi Sheng knew what was up with Qi Mingxueâs âhealing abilityâ. The spirit spring in Qi Mingxueâs space had healing properties. âShe didnât reveal it in the storyline so whyâŠâ
âBoss, what did you want to investigate her for?â Lin Feng didnât understand. âSheâs a celebrity in the safe-zone right now. I heard her ability was already at the third stage!â
âOh, just planning something fun for her.â Shi Shengâs eyes narrowed as she smiled. The smile was terribly cold, causing the trio to shiver. âJust how did Qi Mingxue provoke the boss?â

âHungry.â At this moment, Qian Li sidled up to her and shoved her hand in his mouth. When the trio saw this for the first time, their minds were blown. âHeâs so good-looking! Yet⊠he turned out to be an idiot!â
Shi Sheng brought Qian Li back to her own room and nearly exhausted her ability to feed him, yet he was only half full. He hugged Shi Sheng and rubbed up against her face before releasing her and curling up in the corner by the window.
Shi Sheng sighed before grabbing him and tossing him on the bed. âThereâs no need to keep watch anymore.â
