Guan Xin hurried to check.
She found Zhang Wenwen sitting by the wall, almost asleep.
She didn't find anything unusual about the meaty aroma.
After all, they used to eat and live together in the warehouse before, so it was normal to smell food.
Guan Xin looked next to Zhang Wenwen.
She saw Liu Xiaolin scooping out a large piece of meat with a spoon and putting it into her mouth.
Luncheon meat cans are extremely fragrant.
The aroma was overflowing just by opening the can.
Not to mention how she was eating it with relish.
Xu Xiaowei was probably starving too, holding a can in her hand.
Liu Xiaolin and Xu Xiaowei weren't stupid, they found a hidden corner and ate facing the wall.
Trying to avoid being discovered.
But such a strong smell was impossible to conceal!
Nearby survivors had already been attracted by the smell, but they hadn't found the source of the smell yet.
It was only a matter of time...
Guan Xin's head was pounding!
If it were normal times, the best solution would be to run.
Immediately leave these three troublesome girls.
But the current situation did not allow Guan Xin to do so.
She had gotten off the bus with these three girls.
To the survivors here, Guan Xin and the other three girls were together.
If one of the girls was found to have supplies, someone would naturally think that the other girls traveling with her also had supplies.
If Guan Xin ran away now, it would confirm the speculation of these people.
They would definitely think that the person who ran away had the most supplies.
And then... she would become a target.
The scene at the Japanese camp just now would happen again.
Guan Xin's stamina had not yet recovered, and she couldn't guarantee she could rush out.
The best way now was to stand firm with the three girls and advance and retreat together.
This way, at least three people would be on her side.
It was much better than being the target of public criticism!
In fact, these were all suboptimal plans. Guan Xin could only choose the least bad option and take it one step at a time!
Guan Xin slowly moved to Liu Xiaolin and Xu Xiaowei's side.
Then she suddenly acted, snatching the luncheon meat cans they were enjoying and instantly storing them in her ring.
What are you doing? Are you crazy!
Liu Xiaolin glared at Guan Xin and roared in a low voice.
I'm not crazy, you are!
Do you know how long it's been since these people here ate meat!
You dare to eat luncheon meat!
If you want to die, don't drag us down with you!
Guan Xin gave Liu Xiaolin a cold stare.
This was a matter of life and death.
There was no need for politeness.
If necessary, Guan Xin would not hesitate to use force to solve problems.
She had grown a lot in these days and was now at the early awakened stage 2, which was much stronger than Zhang Wenwen and the others who were at the early awakened stage 1.
But Guan Xin knew very well that her current strength was, at best, average among the survivors.
There were many people stronger than her!
She would not easily make a move unless absolutely necessary.
You...
Fearing that others would notice, Liu Xiaolin suppressed her anger and said in a low voice:
I was very low-key, and I was facing away from them, how could anyone know I was eating luncheon meat?
I think you're just jealous that we have supplies, and you're always against me. Are you trying to show me who's boss and become our leader?
I'm telling you, don't even think about it!
Guan Xin was amused by Liu Xiaolin's words.
What's so good about being the leader of the three of you?
You don't even have the most basic common sense for survival in the apocalypse. What good would it do me to be your leader other than to die sooner?
The aroma of luncheon meat cans has almost filled the entire camp, and you two don't know it!
You still think it's okay as long as others can't see it?
Yes, people in the camp are not as lucky as you, they don't have a warehouse full of supplies, nor do they have a safe shelter!
But they have survived in the zombie-infested apocalypse for more than twenty days, do you think they are fools?
If you take one wrong step, you could put us all in mortal danger, do you understand?!
Guan Xin grabbed Liu Xiaolin by the collar and reprimanded her in a low voice.
Liu Xiaolin felt a killing intent from Guan Xin's eyes.
She shivered with fear.
Only then did she obediently nod and stop talking.
Okay, Xiaolin knows her mistake, it's all my fault, I kept complaining that I was hungry and wanted to eat...
Xu Xiaowei also explained from the side.
Guan Xin didn't say anything, slowly released her grip on Liu Xiaolin.
She cautiously looked around.
Only a few survivors were looking this way, but they just smiled and turned their heads away.
Fights and disputes were common in the camp.
The survivors were used to such situations.
Fortunately... it was stopped in time!
Guan Xin wished time would pass faster.
The people from the Revival Camp should hurry up.
If this dragged on, she really didn't know when these three girls would do something foolish again.
At this moment, she suddenly understood Zhang Chen.
When she first saw Zhang Chen traveling alone, Guan Xin found it a bit strange.
In the apocalypse, wouldn't survival ability be higher with more reliable people to look out for each other?
Now, seeing these three girls, Guan Xin understood.
The three of them were indeed reliable, willing to help her, and even gave her food and water.
But sometimes, being a burden wasn't necessarily due to character or ability.
Lack of thought and experience could also be fatal!
Instead of taking these people along, it would be more reliable to arm herself and become stronger!
Miss... do you have any food...
Suddenly, a childish voice came from the side.
It was a little girl of seven or eight years old.
She was so thin from hunger that her cheeks were sunken, as if she hadn't eaten a full meal in a long time.
I... I don't...
Liu Xiaolin hesitated, glanced at Guan Xin beside her, and quickly denied it.
Miss, you're lying, there's still the smell of meat when you talk!
There are also meat residues on the corner of your mouth, I saw it all!
The little girl's words instantly made Liu Xiaolin blush.
Lying to a child and being exposed was so embarrassing.
Actually, miss, I'm not asking for food for myself. I can starve for a few more days, I can hold on!
But my brother can't. He's still young, and if he doesn't eat soon, he might not make it through today... sob sob sob...
As the little girl spoke, tears streamed down her face.
She was so pitiful!
This...
Liu Xiaolin's heart softened. She turned to look at Guan Xin.
The latter bit her lip and slowly shook her head.
Sister, don't worry, if you give me food, I definitely won't tell anyone else!
You saved my brother's life, how could I harm you?!
The little girl grabbed Liu Xiaolin's hand and pleaded pitifully.
Then...
Liu Xiaolin gritted her teeth, engaged in an intense internal struggle, and then said: Okay, but please don't tell anyone!
