Quick Transmigration: The Female Supporting Character's Counterattack, A Guide to Cunning Strat

Chapter 138 The Dodder of the Apocalyptic Powerhouse 24

The boy led Ye Shuwan to a dilapidated tent.

It's called a tent, but it's really just a few pieces of cloth sewn together and propped up by tree branches. It would probably collapse with the slightest breeze, barely serving as any shelter.

The curtain was drawn back, and before anyone could be seen, a stench of decay wafted out.

The emaciated woman lay on a crumpled cloth, wrapped in a blanket, her exposed skin covered with bluish-purple marks.

Unexpectedly, perhaps sensing the curtain being pulled open, she opened her eyes with difficulty and looked outside. Seeing that the boy was unharmed, she breathed a sigh of relief, then looked warily at Ye Shuwan and Jiang Yufeng: "Qiaoqiao, come here. Who are they?"

"Mom, you're awake." The boy ran into the tent and gently helped her up, as if she were a fragile doll, to lean against his thin shoulder. "I was afraid you would never wake up again like Grandma, so I went out to find someone to help me. This older sister is willing to help me."

The woman's tone softened considerably, but her eyes were still full of wariness: "Thank you for coming, but I'm fine and don't need any help."

"Mom, but..."

The boy tried to argue, but the woman interrupted him sharply: "No buts. Have you forgotten the lesson you learned before? Cough cough cough, cough cough cough."

The boy hurriedly fed her a sip of water: "I was wrong, I'm sorry Mom, I won't do it again next time."

"Aren't you leaving yet?" the woman said to Ye Shuwan in a hoarse voice.

Ye Shuwan lowered her eyes, concealing the emotions within them: "I'll be leaving now, sorry to have bothered you."

She walked back with a gloomy expression when her hand was suddenly grabbed.

"Don't worry, I left some medicine and some candy," Jiang Yufeng whispered in her ear. "Everyone else is watching, so it's better if we don't go in."

"Thank you, Brother Yu."

Ye Shuwan was somewhat surprised. She hadn't expected Jiang Yufeng to make a move. The fever reducer she bought in the system's store had already been put in the boy's pocket and should be discovered soon.

She didn't put anything else in, worried that she wouldn't be able to keep it.

Jiang Yufeng was so thoughtful; these things should be enough to keep them going for a while longer.

Yes, it was them.

The boy was actually a girl in disguise. In such a chaotic world, it's safer to pretend to be a boy than a girl.

Fortunately, she was young and could keep it a secret.

She also knew why the woman was so wary.

The level 3 Qiqi has an additional function: she can see the life stories of people unrelated to the plot, but she can only see one person per day.

After the apocalypse, the woman's husband brought her, her mother, and her daughter to the Jiangchuan base.

Unfortunately, the Jiangchuan base had already set up additional entry requirements at that time. The four people had to hand over a total of 80 kilograms of food, so they had no choice but to stay outside the base.

Unexpectedly, her husband was scratched while out and about and developed a high fever. She tied him up and waited for a slim chance of a miracle.

After waiting for two days, the remaining food was used up, and she had no choice but to ask her seemingly kind "neighbor" for help.

Unexpectedly, this request turned out to be like inviting a wolf into the house.

They discovered that the husband had been scratched by zombies, and without saying a word, they killed him, stole their tent and other supplies, and drove them out.

The woman was heartbroken and considered ending it all, but she gritted her teeth and took on the responsibilities of her former husband. The tent they were living in was all found by her, bit by bit.

Unfortunately, she was defenseless. The rags and branches that were everywhere were fine, but once she found food, it would be stolen by others.

After four days of hunger, looking at her elderly mother and young daughter, and with nowhere else to turn, she turned and went into someone else's tent.

The woman had no special talents; all she could offer in exchange was her passable beauty.

Not long after, my mother also passed away.

Feeling sorry for the woman, and thinking that having one less burden would make things easier for her, she quietly stopped eating...

The fever reducer that Ye Shuwan sent had a certain chance of awakening supernatural abilities. Hopefully, this woman was lucky enough to live to see the end of the apocalypse with her daughter.

That's all she can do. There are too many people struggling to survive in the apocalypse, and she can't help everyone. She just happened to run into them, so she can at least find some peace of mind.

"Don't worry, we'll set off tomorrow and continue towards City C. Finding Dr. Chai might just lead us to a way to end the apocalypse," Jiang Yufeng comforted him.

The apocalypse was created by Dr. Chai, so how could we expect him to end it? But Ye Shuwan couldn't tell Jiang Yufeng any of this; she couldn't explain how she knew all this.

Fortunately, Jiang Yufeng and the others have all reached level three in their abilities, and with her level four mental ability, they should not be completely wiped out in City C.

As for ending the apocalypse, the original plan was for He Yan and other superhumans from various bases to organize and spend four years wiping out all the low-level zombies.

Meanwhile, researchers also developed a solution to restore water and soil quality, finally ending the decade-long apocalypse and ushering in a new era for humanity.

Even so, human casualties were still devastating, with the population of billions ultimately reduced to less than ten million.

If only there were a way to develop an antibody against the zombie virus.

The thought flashed through her mind, but Ye Shuwan composed herself and replied, "Okay!"

……

After leaving their aliases and handing over the supplies, the five people entered the base.

All housing and water/electricity usage within the Jiangchuan base can only be obtained through food barter.

A four-bedroom, one-living-room house with water and electricity can be lived in for a day with just 10 loaves of bread after the apocalypse. This is not much for Jiang Yufeng and his group, but it is an astronomical price for most people in the post-apocalyptic world.

Ye Shuwan withdrew her gaze from the trading board and followed the others to their accommodation for the night.

As soon as she entered her private room, Qiqi took out the necklace and urged her repeatedly:

[Wait, wait, wait! Hurry up and acknowledge this space as your master!]

(it is good.)

Ye Shuwan used a fruit knife to make a cut on her fingertip. The blood dripped onto the necklace and was quickly absorbed. Immediately afterwards, a connection with the space appeared in her mind. With a thought, the scene before her changed.

Mountains of grains and fruits, neatly categorized medical supplies, and various clothing, shoes, and bags...

Wow, Wanwan, the female lead has collected so many supplies! Hahaha, she's made a fortune!

A thought flashed through Ye Shuwan's mind, and she returned to her room.

Since it's a space that can be freely entered and exited, the chances of successfully escaping from City C have increased somewhat.

(By the way, can I take the space with me after I leave this little world?)

Qi Qi said seriously, "No, this spatial necklace is a product of this world. Once this body of yours perishes, it will be recycled by the smaller world."

"However, the space sold in our system shop can be carried with you at all times, and it can also be upgraded. It's much more advanced than this space." Qi Qi eagerly opened the page for selling spaces and showed the product to Ye Shuwan.

It is indeed high-end; even the lowest-end model requires 80,000 points.

Ye Shuwan glanced at it quickly and dismissed the idea.
