Dog food!!!

That's right, what the boy was holding in his hand was a bag of dog food. And it wasn't a full bag; it probably only had twenty or thirty pieces in it. But even so, the boy was afraid that Li Chenzhou would snatch his dog food, so he poured all the dog food in the bag into his mouth and chewed vigorously…

Looking at the sallow and emaciated boy, and then looking at the other children behind the window, Li Chenzhou felt a mixture of emotions.

In fact, he had seen this kind of situation a lot in his previous life. In the apocalypse, the people who fared the worst were the elderly and children. Ordinary, strong adult men had strength, and as long as they were willing to work hard and join the resource team, they wouldn't starve to death no matter what.

As for women… whether they were beautiful or not, as long as they were young, they could always use their bodies to survive. After all, in this oppressive apocalypse, every man needed to vent.

Even if the price wasn't high, maybe the cost of a night was just a small piece of bread, but at least it could ensure they wouldn't starve to death!

But what about the elderly and children? If they had family, and were relatively strong family members, that would be good. Under the protection of their family, they could barely survive. But if they didn't, they could only accept a miserable fate.

They had no ability to go out to collect supplies, nor did they have the ability to kill zombies. They could only eke out a meager existence in the survivor base, struggling to survive. And food was their biggest enemy.

No one would be willing to share food with them, because in the apocalypse, every bite of food was extremely precious. Maybe in the early stages, some people would feel soft-hearted and provide some relief, but later on, those soft-hearted people themselves might have already died. Who would care about them?

In his previous life, Li Chenzhou had seen many elderly and children starve to death in many bases. Moreover, after they died, their corpses would become food for other elderly and children. Driven by hunger, there was nothing that humans couldn't eat!!!

And now, what he was seeing was a group of children eating dog food. Actually, strictly speaking, having dog food to eat was not bad, at least they had something to eat and wouldn't starve to death. Compared to the children he had seen in his previous life, these children were already considered relatively lucky.

But the problem was that the apocalypse had only just begun a little over a month ago, and this base was still controlled by the governor of a city. This kind of situation shouldn't be happening yet…

Li Chenzhou sighed inwardly and was about to jump down when he suddenly noticed that a girl of about seventeen or eighteen years old had suddenly entered the room, her bright eyes fixed on Li Chenzhou.

"Are you… taking care of these children?"

Looking at the girl, Li Chenzhou asked.

"Yes!"

The girl nodded, then looked down and back at Li Chenzhou:

"Who… are you people?"

"Survivors, just like you!"

Li Chenzhou replied, while sizing up the girl. The girl was very beautiful, with a calm expression and a composure that shouldn't be present at her age.

"What they're eating…"

Li Chenzhou pointed at the dog food bag in the boy's hand and asked the girl:

"Did you give it to them?"

"Yes!"

The girl nodded, looked at the dog food bag, and her face remained calm:

"This is already the best I can get in exchange for my body!"

"Your body?"

Li Chenzhou was stunned, and the girl looked at Li Chenzhou and began to speak softly.

Whether it was because she saw hope in Li Chenzhou, or because there was simply no one to confide in about what she had been doing, the girl's story was very detailed.

The girl's name was Zhang Li, a very ordinary name. She had also been rescued from the city by Liu Jinshan and his men, and sent here.

Originally, because Liu Jinshan was around, the order within the survivor team was still very good. Everyone had food to eat, and everyone had a place to live.

In addition to the villa area, the manor also had two large hotels, as well as dormitory buildings specifically prepared for employees, so there was definitely no shortage of places to live.

This was also the reason why Liu Jinshan was optimistic about this place. There were places to live, places to grow crops, and it was close to Qianyuan Lake. The environment could be described as uniquely advantageous.

Zhang Li had also gotten a room at the time. She and her younger brother were together. When the apocalypse descended, her parents had mutated. Fortunately, Zhang Li reacted quickly and closed the door directly, and she and her younger brother hid in the room, holding out until Liu Jinshan and his men arrived.

Originally, Zhang Li thought that she would be able to settle down this time, but what she didn't expect was that on the night they were rescued, the base changed hands.

Liu Jinshan was imprisoned, his military power was seized, and the soldiers under his command, except for those who had joined Wu Zhiqun, were all imprisoned!

And Zhang Li and the other survivors were all driven out and thrown into the commercial street!

In fact, the manor had enough space. Even if these survivors were driven out, their previous rooms would still be empty.

However, Wu Zhiqun felt that these old, weak, sick, and disabled people were of no use and couldn't let them live too well, as it would consume the grain stored in the manor!

Moreover, concentrating everyone in the commercial street would also make it easier for them to manage, since they were all outside, right under their noses.

Otherwise, if they lived in the dormitory, who knew if these guys would form gangs?

Zhang Li actually wouldn't have been sent here originally, because she was a girl, and a very beautiful one at that. Normally, she should have been sent to Wu Zhiqun and his men!

But the small leader who drove Zhang Li and the others out at the time had his own ideas after seeing Zhang Li. He knew that a beautiful girl like this would definitely not be his turn if she was sent up.

So, he discussed it with Zhang Li, saying that he was willing to protect her and not send her up, but in exchange, Zhang Li would need to give him her body!

Either be humiliated by one person, or be humiliated by many people, Zhang Li had no choice at all, so she agreed, but added a condition, which was that the man had to protect her and her younger brother!

Although that person was only a small leader, it was still no problem for him to protect a few neglected survivors. So, this deal was reached, and after arriving at the commercial street, Zhang Li gave her body to that small leader!

A young and beautiful girl like Zhang Li definitely couldn't be satisfied in one go. That small leader came here again that night, and using his power, he directly took Zhang Li to the second floor, and even brought her food and water!

This thing was quite precious to Zhang Li, especially since she also had a younger brother, so she began to try to please that small leader, making him satisfied. Then, the next morning, Zhang Li made a request…
