Under the dual psychological influence of self-blame and unwillingness to just be a vase, Li Xia became stronger than expected. She secretly carried Wu Ming on her back and traveled to and from the occupied area through the secret passage to speed up the absorption of vitality. Three
In a matter of days, she had absorbed more than four units of vitality, and was only two units away from awakening.
In this way, it only takes two days at most for her to wake up.
Naturally, she also encountered some troubles during this process. For example, several times, she encountered a lone insect man. But when a woman attacks, the consequences are extremely terrifying. Li Xia relied on the second form of insect in her body to survive.
Jia He secretly exchanged some food for bullets from the soldiers, and combined with Wu Ming's words and deeds over the past ten days, he actually killed several insect-men alone. If Wu Ming knew about it, he would definitely be shocked.
To be honest, although Wu Ming also noticed that Li Xia had disappeared these days, he didn't pay too much attention to it. Now Wu Ming was thinking about how to make the best use of the resources at hand.
While lying in bed these days, Wu Ming compiled some basic card making methods that he knew in his memory in a small book, as well as the sources of some cards. These may be Wu Ming's greatest wealth.
Among them, Wu Ming sorted out all the information related to the 'Giant', but discovered a very embarrassing thing. First of all, Wu Ming can't make those high-level cards, and the cards he can make are all low-level.
card, so even if you have advanced materials like Giant Broken Arm, it will not be able to play its full role in a short period of time.
This made Wu Ming very angry. If he had known that he would have learned more advanced card making methods in his previous life, he would not be guarding the treasure mountain like this but unable to use it now.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Li Xia had not come back yet. It was still the same after six o'clock. You must know that Li Xia usually came back at five o'clock.
It was only at this time that Wu Ming felt something was wrong. His injuries were almost healed now. Although he was still unable to fight with all his strength, there was still no problem walking normally. When he asked the landlord, Mr. Zhao, he found that Li Xia had been there since the morning.
They went out, obviously Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhao didn't know either.
"Hey, the world is so chaotic now. What should a girl do if she encounters danger outside?" Aunt Zhao has been getting along very well with Li Xia in the past few days, and she also looks worried at the moment.
"Let me go look for it!" Although Wu Ming was also worried, he knew Li Xia better.
This girl is not very courageous, but she has a strong character and a sense of justice. But don't think she is stupid. If Wu Ming hadn't been reborn, he could be 100% sure that Li Xia would have done better than him in this environment.
Because the safety zone is overcrowded, there are people sleeping in bunks in the corridors of every residential building. Although it is a corridor, it is better than being exposed to the wind and rain outside the door.
Moreover, the military now distributes a bowl of porridge based on head count every day. If you lie still to reduce consumption, it can alleviate hunger. So when Wu Ming opened the door and went out, he saw that the corridor was crowded with people, and there were even a few people in the corridor.
There is no place to put your feet.
But Wu Ming has become accustomed to it.
At this time, seeing someone coming out, a girl about twenty years old seemed to have mustered up the courage, walked towards Wu Ming, and said in an almost pleading tone: "I... I will stay with you for one night, you... you
Can you give me something to eat?"
The girl is young, although she is a little thin, but she is quite beautiful, with fair skin and a good figure. Before the disaster, she would definitely be a goddess-level figure in the eyes of some sexy otakus, and they can only hold her photos to lust for her. But.
Now, she even sells her body in order to fill her stomach.
The small bowl of porridge given out every day at the food distribution point is not enough to eat. It is okay if you don't eat, but you will be hungrier after eating. Your stomach is empty, and there is only the burning hunger of stomach acid. You can never understand that feeling without experiencing it yourself.
In the years of great calamity before liberation, there were even tragedies in which people were so hungry that they ate foreign seeds. This shows that people are really willing to do anything to fill their stomachs.
Looking at this young girl who was obviously the first time and mustered up the courage to say those words, Wu Ming was stunned for a moment, then shook his head. Before he could speak, a young woman rushed over from the side and grabbed her.
Wu Ming.
"Brother, this girl is just a baby. If you want someone to accompany you, you might as well come to me. Sister, I have rich experience. Don't worry, I only need two pieces of bread."
In this special period, it is extremely common for women to exchange their bodies for food. In the eyes of these homeless, cold and hungry refugees, anyone who has a house to live in is worthy of their favor.
"I...I just...just need one piece, okay?" The young girl from before was obviously a little anxious, and Wu Ming could even see tears in her eyes.
Wu Ming sighed. In his last life, he had seen too many similar things. Now the safe zone is still safe for the time being. People are only facing hunger. When the safe zone falls, it will be called hell on earth.
He was not a savior, nor was he a good man. He could not save everyone. However, Wu Ming still took out a piece of delicious bread from his arms, broke it open, and gave it to the two women.
Naturally, Wu Ming didn't plan to do something special, this was just a simple gift. Besides, Li Xia hadn't come back yet, so Wu Ming couldn't have time to think about anything else.
By fighting away the two women, Wu Ming got rid of the entanglement of more people, then went downstairs and walked outside.
Wu Ming didn't know where Li Xia had gone, but he had some guesses in his heart. He secretly thought that this girl, who is usually very clever, was stupid at this time. With her potential, she didn't need to go to the enemy-occupied area, she only needed to stay in the safe area.
It will take another seven or eight days to wake up.
After leaving the community, the outside was still crowded. This safe zone was only three or four kilometers away, but it was packed with 800,000 people. You can imagine how crowded it was.
There are still long queues at the recruitment point, and the queue at the food collection point is even longer, stretching out for several kilometers in a circle. Here, as long as there is food and shelter, you are the boss, and you can get it without even thinking about it before.
Even an ugly beggar will be embraced by a beautiful woman as long as he is willing to provide him with a full meal.
Morality and ethics are not as good as a piece of sour steamed buns in the face of hunger.
Just when Wu Ming was about to take a detour to the secret passage leading to the occupied area, he saw a large group of people not far away. There were trash cans stuffed with wood-lit braziers around them. Firstly, they could keep warm. Secondly,
With the lighting available, you can see from a distance that there are crowds of people, and there are faint sounds of quarreling.
Wu Ming is different from others. He doesn't like to watch the excitement. No matter what it is, fighting or even killing is not a rare thing in the safe zone, and there is no need to watch it. And just when Wu Ming was about to leave
As he passed by, a voice from the crowd made Wu Ming stop immediately.
It turned out to be Li Xia's voice. There was an anger in her voice at the moment, as if she was arguing with someone.
Wu Ming squeezed over and took a look, and found that it was really Li Xia. At this moment, she was protecting someone, and around her, there were six or seven men with fierce expressions on their faces. They all had weapons in their hands, and some of them had fruit knives.
, some were iron bars, and there was a person lying on the ground. His right arm showed an unnatural twist. It was obviously broken, and he was groaning in pain.
Although Li Xia was surrounded by people at the moment, she was not particularly panicked. This was normal. In the past ten days, she had been in the occupied area with Wu Ming every day. She would fight with bugs almost every day, and fight with dozens of people.
Compared to the individual bugs surrounding them, these few people are not worth mentioning at all.
"You bitch, do you really plan to be an enemy of our Yujiang Gang? Don't think that just because you are strong, this is our gang's private matter. I advise you to be sensible and get out of here and stop meddling in other people's business, otherwise we will wait for you in large numbers
Brother, come here, you can't even run away!" A man holding an iron rod shouted with a ferocious expression, but this guy looked like a vegetable, and he obviously hadn't eaten enough for several days.
The same goes for several other people. Although they surrounded the woman, they did not dare to step forward rashly.
Wu Ming has not fully understood the current situation, but the person lying on the ground should have been injured by Li Xia, and at this moment, Li Xia exuded a very special temperament.
This temperament was completely different from her previous one. Only then did Wu Ming discover that Li Xia was vaguely holding a card in one hand. Combined with the special aura on her body, Wu Ming suddenly came up with an idea.
