But now, Karen had a more important problem to solve.
"Big brother, esteemed big brothers and big sister... could you spare some water? This little brother is really parched."
Karen looked at the couple chatting to themselves, a bitter expression on his face, and cursed them silently a thousand times.
"Oh, oh, sorry."
Wan Lei quickly handed the water pouch to Karen.
"Thank you, thank you."
Karen thanked him repeatedly, tore off his face covering, and, without regard for hygiene, grabbed the water pouch and began gulping down the water.
"How did you get so thirsty?"
Wan Lei took back the water pouch, noticing that a good half of the water was gone, and couldn't help but feel curious.
"Don't even mention it."
Speaking of this, Karen looked dejected.
"Last night, I managed to escape after eating my fill, but I didn't forget to grab a couple of flatbreads.
This morning, I was hungry, so I ate one of the flatbreads, but I was incredibly thirsty.
I remembered there was a small river outside the city, so I went to the river to drink some water.
Just as I took a couple of sips, guess what?
Some damn bastard was upstream taking a dump!!!
I've never seen anyone with so little public decency, it made me want to vomit up my gall bladder.
I didn't drink any more water, and I came here to lie down and observe the situation.
If I ever catch that son-of-a-bitch, that inconsiderate bastard, I'll peel his skin off and feed him two pounds of his own shit."
Hearing this, Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu looked at each other in shock, then gave each other a guilty smile.
Fortunately, they had their face masks on, so Karen couldn't see their expressions, otherwise he would have guessed it was them and fought them to the death.
"You won't be able to get revenge, with such a big shockwave, how many survivors could there be? That person is probably already in pieces."
Lei Shao comforted the aggrieved victim he had unknowingly defiled, pretending to be nonchalant, but he still felt a little guilty.
"It's okay, I understand. It's lucky I met you guys, otherwise I would have either been bombed to death or buried alive.
The two of you, we've gotten to know each other, and we all know that none of us are bad people.
You two are strong fighters, and I'm familiar with the local area. I don't want to sound boastful, but I'm also pretty smart, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to escape from the chaotic city on my own.
Let's cooperate, form a team, be partners to each other, support each other, and survive together in this apocalypse. What do you think?"
"Sure, no problem, Brother Ka."
"...Just call me Karen, let's go."
As he spoke, Karen looked around, confirmed his position, and headed west-northwest.
"Hey, where are you going?"
Wan Lei asked loudly, pulling Fang Xiaoyu along, and picked up the little yellow dog to follow.
"Do you guys have a good place to go?"
Karen didn't turn around, continuing to walk with his head down.
"We're new here, we don't know anything."
"Then follow me. I know of an underground shelter, where there's food, water, and some weapons, enough for us to survive, provided it hasn't been destroyed by the earthquake."
"A shelter? There's such a good place? Where did it come from?"
Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu's spirits lifted, and they quickly followed.
"My family built it a long time ago, about twenty or thirty years ago. As you know, my family is a large clan with many political enemies.
At that time, my grandfather was still the head of the family. He was worried that if the family ever fell on hard times, the clansmen would have a temporary place to take refuge, so he arranged for people to secretly build the shelter.
The exact location of the shelter is only known to direct descendants of the family. As it happens, I am now the only direct descendant of the Munster family left; the others didn't have time to escape."
"It's been twenty or thirty years, the food in there must have rotted by now, right?"
"No, food can be stored for three to five years without problems, and the family sends a direct descendant every year to replace the food, pulling out the old food and throwing it away, then putting in new food.
The water source is underground spring water, so it's clean.
This fall, just a month ago, I was the one who took people to replace the food, so I know what's there."
"That's still not very safe, the people who went with you to replace the food, they also know the exact location, they'll probably bring people there too."
As Wan Lei said this, he suddenly saw Karen smile contemptuously.
"What are you smiling at?"
"Hmph, do you think my clansmen are that stupid? Since you asked, I'll tell you the process in detail.
When I went there with people, I brought a guard team. The guard team was fully armed, and the food was transported by convicted criminals and slaves.
I had people dig a big pit a hundred miles away, telling them it was for burying the old food, and had the guard team guard it. Then, I went to the shelter alone with the slaves, and after replacing the food, I had them take the old food back to that big pit..."
"That big pit was actually used to bury those criminals, right?"
Fang Xiaoyu looked at Karen.
Karen looked at Fang Xiaoyu appreciatively.
"That's right, I had the guards kill all the slaves, bury them, and then have the guards take the grain and sell it at a low price in other city markets. The money went straight into my pocket."
"So now, everyone who knew is dead, and only you know the location of the shelter."
Although Wan Lei felt that killing those innocent criminals was a violation of heavenly harmony, he didn't say anything. Da Feng Novel Network.
After all, the order and rules of this universe are like this, there is no difference between convicted criminals and slaves, society is like this, everyone is used to it, so there is nothing wrong with it.
Therefore, when Wan Lei heard that the criminals were resisting the good people and slaughtering the city, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. There is resistance where there is oppression, which is normal.
"In the apocalypse, a heart of a saint is suicide. If we encounter people who are malicious to us, don't be soft-hearted, no matter if the other party is old, weak, women or children, kill them all."
Karen chatted as he walked.
"The apocalypse trilogy is just the beginning, the era of disaster has arrived."
"Apocalypse trilogy? What do you mean?"
"Don't you guys read novels?"
"Novels, I know, I'm the protagonist of a novel."
Lei Shao patted his chest and said.
"You? Stop kidding me, look at your poor appearance, still a protagonist? The protagonists in novels are all talented and can summon wind and rain. You, you have to walk with me to find food, you don't look like a protagonist at all."
Looking at Karen laughing, Wan Lei really wanted to tell him,
I used to fly around and beat everyone, but now I'm down on my luck.
Really, a tiger falls into the plains and is bullied by dogs.
"By the way, what is the apocalypse trilogy you mentioned earlier? What is the era of disaster?"
Wan Lei was more eager to understand the environment they were currently in.
