Now she had a choice, and thus should no longer live by her previous methods.
This apocalypse was a world of ability users, a world overrun by zombies.
But it was also a world for ordinary survivors.
It wasn't just a landscape of abilities users everywhere; there were also ordinary survivors. It was the combination of these different people that formed the vibrant tapestry of the apocalypse.
When there was no longer a choice, one could only eke out an existence.
Now that she had a choice, she would choose a way that satisfied her.
Not necessarily a way she loved, but at least one that was satisfactory, one that didn't require her to trade her looks or her body for a precarious survival in the apocalypse.
At this moment, Zhou Tingna suddenly felt that her suspicions and conjectures about Su Ling were ignorant and laughable.
Wen Shangsheng's figure gradually disappeared from view. Zhou Tingna did not hesitate; she stepped forward and walked in the direction Wen Shangsheng had gone.
She was a person with sound limbs, capable of supporting herself with her own hands, not her body.
Since Su Ling was willing to take them in, bring them back, and provide them with a shelter and protection in the apocalypse, she should not be picky. She should follow and see what her new apocalyptic home would be like.
Zhou Tingna had a clear mind, and she felt a sense of relief and lightness wash over her.
Looking up at the sky, the sun was setting, its dying rays painting the entire sky red. Even her cheeks were kissed by the afterglow, a beautiful sight.
Wen Shangsheng returned to his car, his hand resting on the window. He glanced at the rearview mirror and saw Zhou Tingna walking out of the prison area and heading towards the large truck that would take them back.
He only looked away and lit a cigarette after Zhou Tingna had completely disappeared from sight.
He hoped that people could be clear-headed and figure out what they truly wanted.
How long could one maintain affection by relying on one's beauty? When beauty fades, so does love.
Only by being independently strong and creating one's own space could one secure their greatest safety in the apocalypse.
A woman's independence broadens her horizons.
His third sister-in-law was the best proof of this statement.
Su Ling and Shang Qi, following Chu Jin and the others out of the city, the vehicles drove for a distance before stopping in the suburbs.
The suburban area was vast and open, an undeveloped region.
The sand quarry, brick factory, and cement factory that Chu Jin had mentioned were all located here. As far as the eye could see, all the raw materials needed for Su Ling and the others to establish their new base could be found.
Being in the suburbs, there were very few people except for the workers.
These workers had not been fortunate enough to escape the apocalypse, and had long since turned into zombies, wandering about.
Chu Jin got out of the car first, personally killing the wandering zombies and extracting their crystal cores.
Su Ling and Shang Qi also got out of the car after Chu Jin. The others were responsible for driving the vehicles forward, parking them in different areas, and confirming their safety.
Once they confirmed there was no danger, everyone split up and began transporting raw materials for building the base.
After clearing the zombies, Chu Jin walked towards Su Ling and Shang Qi, handing Su Ling a cleaned crystal core. "I saw you really liked these things."
"Thanks." Su Ling took the crystal core, and in an instant, it vanished without a trace.
Chu Jin knew that Su Ling had the ability to store things. He looked at her, "Is this enough? If not, we'll make more. Anyway, all the machinery and equipment are complete, and you have plenty of talent on your side."
The talent Chu Jin was referring to, of course, was Zhang Wenbin's subordinates.
They were officially trained all-around talents who, apart from not being able to have children, possessed all sorts of other skills.
