Chapter 195: External possessions
The number of women fleeing from Eden Garden was simply overwhelming, and the people at Sweetheart Base seemed to have noticed.
To enter the Underground City, the amount of food required had increased.
On the streets of the Underground City, patrols frequently questioned suspicious individuals.
One of their organization’s members who had gone back was captured and had died.
They mourned her silently, then continued their struggle.
They couldn’t let her die in vain.
They had to continue doing what she wanted to do.
The population of the Underground City was visibly decreasing.
There was no choice, the food required had almost doubled. The standard, already high, had increased even further, naturally reducing the number of people coming down.
Only at this time did Chen Yuan’s superior realize that he was short of a subordinate.
He had been living a life of debauchery, wanting to manage nothing, but when orders came from above, he could only force himself to sober up.
Honestly, it was annoying.
He just didn’t want to work and preferred to continue his carefree life. As for his subordinates, he didn’t care— if they died, they died.
People were always going to die, whether sooner or later—it all looked the same to him.
And Chen Yuan didn’t know that his superior had noticed his disappearance but had no intention of looking for him.
He had once had a chance to be saved.

Chen Yuan was now in a worse-than-death state, often thinking that he might as well be dead, but then he felt that living miserably was still better than dying.
He was now like a lump of mud, lying on the ground, unwilling to move even an inch.
Lin Murong didn’t visit often now, he had more important things to attend to.
Chen Yuan was no longer his priority.
His eyes now saw the vast universe.
For the time being, the women set aside other matters and focused solely on finding Zombies, killing them, and extracting Crystal Cores.
They could not kill many Zombies because among them, only half were Superpower Users, and these were all low-level users, so their speed of killing Zombies and collecting Crystal Cores was very slow.
Once Lin Murong learned of this, he immediately joined them to help kill Zombies and gather Crystal Cores.
They were deeply touched by his actions.
Under their compelling gazes, Lin Murong helped even more enthusiastically, truly becoming one of them.
He was now too busy to care about Chen Yuan.
With Lin Murong’s help, their speed of collecting Crystal Cores increased, and they bought more and more supplies from the supermarket.
But they still couldn’t get any spicy strips.
They bought bags and bags of rice and bags of noodles.
Their new home was decorated very crowdedly, but this crowding gave them a great sense of security.
Although every day was exhausting, as soon as they returned to their own home and saw the full supplies, the security and satisfaction they felt were indescribable.
This sense of fulfillment and security was incomparable to their former lives in Eden Garden.
Life in Eden Garden was empty; they did the same things every day, things they despised. They loathed such actions so much yet had to continue; they greeted with smiles, yet their hearts were filled with aversion.
The work they did now was also repetitive, the same old tasks daily, but it was filled with hope.
They would have expectations for the new day, thinking each night about how many Crystal Cores they could collect the next day and what those Cores could buy.
They visited the supermarket, considering where to wander next, whether to look at candies or fruits.
Lin Murong felt that after spending a lot of time with them, he had transformed from a salted fish to a very lively one.
He followed them running around, and his food consumption, already high, had increased even more.
Even the leftovers were gone.
Poor Chen Yuan, who already had very little food, now had even less.
Chen Yuan was barely clinging to life now.
Just when Chen Yuan thought he was going to die, Lin Murong suddenly let him go.
When Chen Yuan heard this, he thought he had misheard.
“What did you say?” Go? Really let him go? It can’t be a trick, can it?
Having been locked up for so long, Chen Yuan no longer believed what Lin Murong said before; he thought Lin Murong was just lying deliberately, dangling a carrot in front of him to fill him with hope and prevent him from seeking death; in reality, he would never let him go.
But what did he hear now?
Chen Yuan’s somewhat cloudy eyes looked at Lin Murong with suspicion.
While Lin Murong had kept Chen Yuan captive, other than starving him, she really hadn’t done much else, but Chen Yuan had been locked up for so many days that he was no longer human-like.
His normally straight back had become hunched, and now he was too lazy to even stand up, just lying on the ground.
“Yeah. Time’s up, goodbye,” Lin Murong nodded as she spoke.
Actually, a day was still left, but she was too lazy to come back tomorrow. The Zombies nearby were almost wiped out, and although not completely gone, searching for them now would take a long time, and the Crystal Cores obtained would be few.
They felt it wasn’t worth it.
So, they planned to go farther to find Zombies, kill them, and harvest Crystal Cores.
If they went a bit farther, they might have to stay overnight.
They were setting off this afternoon, and he was going too; before leaving, he thought about the person still held here and came specifically to release him.
After Lin Murong finished speaking, she left; it was almost time to depart, and she hurried back, although they would definitely wait for him, he felt embarrassed.
It would be awkward for him to have so many people waiting just for him.
The chains on Chen Yuan’s body were all unlocked; he felt much lighter instantly.
When he stood up again, he felt light as air, as if he were walking on clouds, his feet not touching solid ground.
When he started walking, his first step was tentative.
He took a few more steps and, after realizing he really could walk, he knelt down, covered his face, and started laughing loudly; as he laughed, he began to cry.
He could finally walk; his inhuman, ghostly existence had finally come to an end.
Chen Yuan hadn’t changed his clothes for many days, and his body reeked; he looked very scruffy.
Walking and running, he finally made it back to his home.
But when he got home, he found that his home was gone as well.
Having disappeared for so many days, those so-called friends or perhaps enemies had already raided his home.
Now, only the house itself was left.
Apart from some supplies he had hidden, everything else was gone.
If he hadn’t hidden those supplies, he would be back to square one.
In the past, Chen Yuan would certainly have been furious.
But now that he was back and saw this scene, he wasn’t very angry.
He was actually very happy because he had gotten out, had gotten out of that kitchen.
For many days, he had lived there, eating, drinking, and relieving himself all in that kitchen.
One can imagine how poor the conditions in that kitchen were.
Now he was free, and he cared about nothing else; what mattered most was that he was no longer locked up.
Everything else was immaterial.
