Chapter 18 : C18
[The value of the Virgin Mary is increased by one, and the points are increased by one hundred.]
Her eyes lit up.
It worked!
Chi Ying’s eyes lit up.
It worked!
She watched as the curly-haired woman ate a third of a whole bread and fed the remaining half to the child. The remaining bit was pressed flat and stuffed under the mattress.
The mattress was dirty, but no one cared in those days.
After hiding the last bit of bread, the woman carefully raised her head to look at Chi Ying, and seeing her staring at her with bright eyes, her heart warmed.
She hurriedly lowered her head, covering her wet eyes with tears.
Seeing that she had finished eating, Chi Ying also got up, and quietly left from the corner. In the dark night, almost no one noticed her movements, so Chi Ying easily moved to the side of another very thin young girl.
The girl recognized her and thought it was Chi Ying who was not used to sleeping in the corner and wanted to change her position. After all, from her point of view, Chi Ying was like the kind of young lady who had never suffered in the apocalypse, and it was normal that she was not used to sleeping in such a dirty place.
She herself was not the kind of person who did not know how to be grateful. If she didn’t get to eat that day, she might have really starved to death. The woman gave her a mouthful of food, and she probably would not refuse her request.
With a stiff face, she was waiting for Chi Ying to make a request.
“Well……”
She was caught off guard as a large piece of soft stuff was stuffed into her mouth.
That was a bit sudden, she was startled, and almost subconsciously wanted to spit it out, but her mouth and nose quickly realized what was in her mouth.
Food! Moreover, it was fresh bread that she hadn’t seen for a long time!
“Shh…” Chi Ying stretched out her finger to her lips.
She didn’t linger, nor did she look at the girl’s expression, and quickly found the next person to give the food.
[The value of the Virgin Mary is increased by one, and the points are increased by 100.]
[The value of the Virgin Mary +1, +1…]
After delivering all the supplies to the thirteen women in the safe zone, Chi Ying’s points also increased by more than a thousand points.
That safe area was a large semicircle, and there were no fixed rooms inside. There was a distance of more than ten meters between men and women, on the east and west sides, and there were only a few crude boards blocking them when they rested at night.
As for Gu Chi and the others, they were on the side of the north wall, far away from other people in the safe zone.
Chi Ying hesitated, but still didn’t go to the other area where the men were.
Although not all of them were the bad guys like the woman said, their situation was much better. At least the food they got wouldn’t let them starve to death.
So she circled the safety zone for a small half, and went back the same way, returning to the curly-haired woman again.
“Are you…”
The woman who probably guessed what she was going to do opened her mouth, but then she thought of something and didn’t ask.
Chi Ying silently sat beside her, moved to the edge of the mattress, and lay down. She raised her head and heard a small rustling sound next to her, knowing that it was the sound of food being swallowed.
She had good hearing, so the little sound could also be heard clearly.
“Hey, why do I smell a fragrance… It seems to be bread?”
On the other side, a man’s voice suddenly came.
“It is, did it come from the west?”
The west side was the side where Chi Ying and the others were.
“Hey! Women over there, did you secretly hide the supplies from us?!”
Chi Ying was very familiar with the speaker, he was the “Leopard” who was taught by Lu Yunfei during the day.
Her heart skipped a beat, she frowned slightly, and wondered whether to knock them out.
She had the ability to control water. Although it was not easy to condense ice, with her strength, it was not a problem to form a few pieces.
But after thinking about it, Chi Ying stopped. It would be bad if she didn’t control her strength well and beat them to death.
“Hmph, I still smell that it’s from your side! It’s one of you who secretly took the alliance’s supplies and ate in the middle of the night, right?” It was a woman who spoke.
Chi Ying looked at the source of the voice in surprise, but the voice was far away, and she couldn’t see who it was.
“Why, isn’t it enough to snatch our supplies? Now it’s late at night, and you suspect us when we are sleeping?” This time it was a young girl’s voice.
She continued crying, “Do you need to keep an eye on us all night to be reconciled?”
Chi Ying’s eyes widened. Others couldn’t hear clearly, but she could. She could clearly hear that the girl had been eating very vigorously before she spoke. How could she have such an aggrieved and resentful look now?
[With her acting skills… If it was before the apocalypse, she would definitely be able to win awards. ] The system couldn’t help but complain.
“Before you speak, shouldn’t you check the one who stole the supplies two days ago? It’s not okay for a thief to call out to catch a thief, don’t treat everyone as a fool.”
Chi Ying asked in a low voice, “Who is the thief?”
“The one who just spoke, the ‘Leopard’ who was fighting with the guy in your team during the day. He secretly took three compressed biscuits and cereal liquid in the middle of the night two days ago, and was discovered while eating it.”
The curly-haired woman spat softly, “Those things were enough for several people to last a day.”
“You liar! I…” Leopard blushed and wanted to refute.
“Leopard, come on. How could there be bread these days? It must be that they are hungry and confused, and are talking in their sleep, hahahaha!”
That gave him a step down.
The curly-haired woman breathed a sigh of relief.
It was messed up.
She patted the baby in the swaddling sadly, and the child inside had already fallen asleep.
If they could pass the day, what about the future? As long as Leopard and the others hold the supplies, they would never have a way out…
She looked at Chi Ying with worry in her eyes.
