A woman squatted there and lowered her head. Her messy hair covered her face.
In front of her was a white cloth and on it was a picture of herself and beside it were the words “a bag of bread for once”.
No one was stupid and naturally knew what she meant.
She was selling her body to live!
Things that were very common in his last life looked so eye piercing at the start of the apocalypse.
Ye Zhongming took just one look before moving his attention away. In his last life, after he went through a life and death battle, he would only find one of these stores to spend a very little price to vent the fear and desire in his heart for a decent girl.
But for the other girls who weren’t used to all of this, they didn’t understand. Sadness, pity, and even some rage towards this world. They also felt angry towards this woman for her actions.
Now that they saw her, they realised that such a situation was common in this market. Using their bodies to exchange for food was a common occurrence.
“They are doing so to survive. At least I think that this is much cleaner than those stealing food in the water tunnels.”
Ye Zhongming came to a store and saw a bunch of brand new bedsheets. He selected while asking for the price while saying towards his teammates who were still looking at that woman.
The bed sheets were really cheap. The weather wasn’t cold yet so these weren’t essentials. Food was something that everyone wanted. When Ye Zhongming said that he would use meat to trade, the owner was delighted. Just 500 grams could take all of these items.
Ye Zhongming didn’t bargain. He tossed a 500-gram piece of meat over to the store owner and asked the others to take the items. The owner took the meat and swallowed his saliva, carefully hiding it in his clothes. He wouldn’t eat this, he would use it to trade for other things. If this was really mutated animal meat then it would be enough to trade for a week’s worth of food for his family of three.
Park Xiuying bit her teeth and said softly to Ye Zhongming, “Can we help her? Give, give her some food.”
Ye Zhongming looked at the teacher coldly, causing her to lower her head.
“As an ally, this is the last time I will explain to you.”
Ye Zhongming pointed at her and also at the other women who were doing the same, “You give her food then you have to give the other women food. If you give them food then you have to give everyone in the market food. If you don’t give then they will start stealing!”
“They can’t beat you but you have to prove that you can beat them. You can’t just beat them up, you have to kill them so they don’t disturb you. Teacher Park, are you ready to kill? You not only have to kill one, you have to kill many. You give up food and you still have to kill to keep yourself safe. Are you sure you want to give her food?”
The people in the market were working hard to survive. They were hungry so that was why there was peace. If suddenly someone got rich and had much food to eat, others would rob him. If he tried to fight back, he would be killed.
Park Xiuying definitely wouldn’t get killed as she was evolved. As long as she wasn’t careless and get surrounded by normal people, she would be fine. But if she fight back, she had to kill someone if not she wouldn’t be able to protect the items and her life.
Ye Zhongming’s words might sound bad but it was the truth!
The few women weren’t stupid and they all understood. Their faces were ashen white and they didn’t speak for a long time.
Da Ming listened in from the side and he spoke up when everyone was silent, “Brother Ye’s words make sense. Having a lot of food might not be a good thing. Every day there are people getting killed in the new district. Most of them died because they had food. Food has become a reason for death. If you didn’t have food then you would die from hunger. If you had too much then you would get killed. You all are really fortunate to become evolved.”
He was really envious of Ye Zhongming and his group.
The few girls were silent and a thought rose up in their minds.
If not for Ye Zhongming, would they be hungry? Would they be forced to give up on their dignity and use their bodies to survive?
Mo Ye might not agree with that as she had strong skills. Even without Ye Zhongming she would become evolved but Liang Chuyin and Park Xiuying were certain that the chances of them becoming evolved without Ye Zhongming were low.
Thus, they felt much more grateful towards that guy.
Ye Zhongming wanted to select some canned meat and other canned food as they couldn’t only just eat meat. But before he reached the area, he turned his head and saw two guys walk into the market.
The people in the market were filled with fear when they saw those two people. They lowered their heads and many people even started to hide the goods that they were selling.
“Who?” Ye Zhongming asked softly.
Da Ming replied, “Yue Chao and Yang Shilong, they are both evolved.”
The two of them looked around and walked to the girl that Ye Zhongming and the group had seen. They looked at the photo and the muscular Yue Chao said, “Raise your head.”
This girl who was selling her body for food shook her head and repeated, “I don’t want to, I don’t want to.”
“Damn, didn’t I give you face?”
Yang Shilong kicked her aside. Although she didn’t use strength but the strength of an evolved was definitely not something that normal people could go up against. Her shoulder was hit and that revealed her face that was covered with her long hair. She was really beautiful but her face was currently filled with fear.
Yue Chao took out a bag of bread and tossed it to her face. He then dragged her out of the market, while dragging, he scolded her, “You come out to sell your body and say you won’t do it? What are you faking?”
Everyone looked at those scenes and heard her cries but no one bothered. They only watched as the two evolved and dragged her away.
Park Xiuying was a little furious, “How can these two people do that? Is there a point to force people?”
“That woman… Why isn’t she willing?” Liang Chuyin didn’t understand why she would oppose.
“Evolved and normal people. If the evolved don’t hold back, the normal person would be tortured to death. Those two probably did similar things which was why that woman was not willing to go with him.”
Da Ming heard what Ye Zhongming said and nodded, “Brother Ye you are correct. These two animals don’t treat normal people as humans. During these few days, they have killed a couple of girls already so their reputation is really bad. Evolved here are like that, they kill and steal without a care.”
The three girls were shocked and understood what was going on. Evolved guys just cared about themselves and not about the woman, that woman… They couldn’t imagine what was going to happen.
“Damn, if not for the three gachapons being controlled by them, how could they be so arrogant!”
Ye Zhongming was stunned and he grabbed Da Ming’s arm, “What did you say? How many gachapons are there?”
