At night, Su Jin took advantage of the ink-dark sky and the crowded streets to reach the city wall, where she quickly grew a man-eating flower in a corner. Seeing that the man-eating flower began to devour zombies rapidly, Su Jin lowered her head and walked away.
The Zombie Tide in City D continued on, Yao Rui suggested finding the base’s food storage and got the base’s cafeteria up and running again, offering free dinners to those Special Ability Users whose strength and abilities had been exhausted.
This act greatly moved the survivors who had been without food for a long time, and unwittingly, Yao Rui’s popularity rose.
What infuriated Yao Rui and the others even more was that many of the food items in the storage had already molded, and lots of meat from mutant animals hunted by Captain Xing had rotted away in several broken refrigerators…
Looking at the moldy food, many people’s eyes reddened with emotion. Those people actually preferred to let the food spoil rather than sell it to those who were starving.

If this food had been processed earlier, so many lives could have been saved!
“Don’t be sad everyone, there’s still some food here we can eat. After the Zombie Tide is over, we can get more food from Xiaohong, and somehow we’ll make it through this winter. Come spring, we’ll be self-reliant, hunt mutant animals, and work on developing our base. Moreover, Xiaohong said they will come to sell supplies from time to time; we just need to focus on killing zombies and saving up Crystal Cores,” Yao Rui said to everyone, taking advantage of the recovery period from their drained abilities to chat with Zhang Xiaohong and her group, who turned out to be a group of roaming food suppliers, collecting surplus food from various places to resell to survivors in different bases, which made her quite envious.
But she also understood that these people, though they seemed free and with ample supplies, must be a very strong team, which was not something just anyone could achieve.
“Really? Xiaohong and her group will come again?”
“That’s great, their supplies are sold at fair prices!”
“Yes, we’re saved!”
Seeing that everyone was no longer upset about the food storage issue, Yao Rui smiled too.
The Zombie Tide in City D did not last too long. It was completely resolved by the afternoon of the next day, and Su Jin reclaimed the man-eating flower early in the morning while it was still dark.
Xiao Cui, after feasting on zombies all night, expressed great satisfaction. Although there was only one man-eating flower at its command, it managed to swallow thousands of zombies in the cover of night.
And then someone discovered that Yuan Hongying, who had been tied to the city wall, had somehow escaped…
The loyal followers of the Zhang Family and Yuan Family were still there, but Yuan Hongying’s spot was now empty, leaving only a pile of severed ropes behind.
“He escaped?”
Kong Shangjie, after hearing the news, paced back and forth furiously. Yao Rui had said that after the Zombie Tide subsided, they would execute him to vent public anger. How had he managed to escape?
“No matter, he has no Special Abilities or weapons, and there’s no longer a place for him in the base. It’s very likely someone helped him escape,” Yao Rui analyzed. The so-called Colonel Yuan was actually just a paper tiger. What was laughable was that no one had ever bothered to expose him.
“Still, we can’t just let him get away like that. I haven’t even had the chance to beat him up,” Da Yu said angrily, unable to calm herself when she thought of the spoiled food.
“Whether he is alive or dead, he can’t cause any trouble anymore. Let’s look forward,” Yao Rui patted Da Yu, signaling that the most pressing issue wasn’t Yuan Hongying, but the reconstruction of the City D base after the Zombie Tide.
Besides the spoiled food and meat, there was still some edible food left in the base’s warehouse.
But these were far from enough for the people at the base to get through the winter. Fortunately, they found a large number of crystal cores at the residence of Zhang Anguo and Yuan Hongying, and even the homes of their close confidants were stocked with a large quantity of crystal cores.
All those crystal cores together amounted to as many as five hundred thousand. Coupled with the crystal cores gained from the aftermath of the zombie tide, they now had about six hundred thousand crystal cores!
“Xiaohong’s place probably doesn’t have as many supplies, right?”
Zhao Le said as he looked at the crystal cores.
“We need more than just food. We also need warm clothing and blankets”
Facing the increasingly gloomy weather, Yao Rui couldn’t help but worry about this winter. The temperature was getting colder and colder. Although it used to be chilly around this time in the past, it hadn’t reached the point of water freezing upon contact. But now…
At the northernmost courtyard of the base, Su Jin and her group started to busily sell supplies again.
There were still many people coming to buy supplies. Even though many were hungry, Li Xiuying and Lin Yunguo could feel that the previous despair and bleakness that loomed over the base no longer existed.
In its place, there was a lively atmosphere of casual chats among people and hopes for the future of the base.
Through an election, the base had selected its next base leader. Unsurprisingly, the name Yao Rui was written on the slips of paper and submitted by an overwhelming majority of people.
By now, everyone understood that in the apocalypse, no matter what someone did before, as long as they worked wholeheartedly for the people of the base, they qualified to be elected as the base leader. Moreover, Yao Rui’s special ability was not weak, and after this zombie tide, she had become one of the top level five fire element ability users at the base.
If she didn’t get elected, who else would qualify?
After dealing with the base’s warehouse affairs, Yao Rui’s first task was to visit Zhang Xiaohong and her group at the northern courtyard.
Zhang Xiaohong and her companions were not from the D City base, and they would be leaving D City in a few days.
Remembering the contribution of these people during the zombie tide, without any airs, Yao Rui, merely as a customer wanting to buy supplies, presented them with the list of supplies they had discussed.
Su Jin took the list filled with the names of supplies, smiled, and said, “Sure, I have all these things in my space. Once we set the prices, I will give you a price list.”
“Really? Xiaohong, you have it all?!”
Kong Shangjie jumped up, excited. That list contained a whole hundred types of supplies!
“I’ve been all around, and my family was in business before the apocalypse. My space element ability awakened early, so naturally, I had the advantages of the right timing, location, and people,” Su Jin explained, shrugging her shoulders as if it was nothing out of the ordinary.
Yao Rui nodded in understanding and said, “Our family was also in the wholesale business before the apocalypse. I took advantage of that to stockpile a large amount of supplies. It’s just a pity…”
Speaking of her dark past, Yao Rui’s gentle face hardened again.
That man with the surname Tang better not let her see him again!
“Supplies are important, but it also depends on how they’re used. Some people, even if they luck into some supplies, surviving in the apocalypse long-term isn’t such an easy task,” Su Jin said genially, in a good mood. This list of supplies, how could it not be worth two hundred thousand crystal cores at least?
