Chapter 85.3: Cannon Fodder In The Post-Apocalyptic World (14)

The climate has become highly abnormal in the post-apocalyptic world, causing the region where this country was located to experience scorching heat for most of the year, with occasional heavy rainfall. The temperatures were generally sweltering and oppressive, making it difficult to endure.

The asphalt road was scorching hot under the sun, and the air just a meter above the ground shimmered and distorted due to the intense heat. The road conditions were extremely unfavourable for travel. Although the group had already treated the tires with special measures, travelling in the bus under such weather still posed a risk of tire blowouts.

The hot climate accelerated the decay rate of zombies, limiting their activity to some extent. This means that the chances of encountering danger were relatively smaller during the scorching hot days. However, in this world, it’s rare to have the best of both worlds. While there may be fewer dangers, one must endure the almost dehydrating temperatures.

On the journey to the western survivor base, not only were there various small and large survivor bases, but also urban areas that need to be traversed. Attempting to pass through cities was undoubtedly a dangerous act, as it not only involves gathering supplies, but also avoiding getting trapped in zombie hordes.

While moving through the city, Bai JunFei and Liu RuiCheng took turns driving the bus and ensuring the safe navigation of the team. Jing Yao, on the other hand, primarily focuses on maintaining the barrier to conceal the bus and ensure the safety of the teammates. The barrier acted as a protective shield, making the bus less noticeable to potential threats and allowing the team to move covertly through the city. This coordinated effort between the drivers and the barrier helped mitigate risks greatly and enhanced the overall safety of the team during their journey.

The special abilities of Gu Mingyue’s space and her unique physicality, too, played an immensely crucial role in the city. Collaborating with Su ShaoYuan, who possesses wind-based powers, they effortlessly moved obstacles on the road. In fact, Gu MingYue had long since became an indispensable mobile storage unit for collecting a large amount of supplies. Her presence and abilities greatly reduced the reliance on the powers of her teammates, making the daunting task of traversing the post-apocalyptic city safer and more manageable. Her mere existence transformed the seemingly unimaginable and chaotic act of navigating through the city into a safe and feasible endeavour.

Navigating through a large city during the limited daylight hours was undoubtedly more nerve-wracking than engaging in combat, which was why Gu MingYue’s abilities and the immense impact she could have had gradually made the men view her in a different light.

As night fell, the bus is drove to a less populated area, as usual, to rest and regroup. The more thrilling and exciting the activities of the survivor team during the day, the more intense and indulgent their private behaviours become during the night.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the men of the survivor team had prevented the three women from discovering the fact that Gu

/MingYue’s body was different from others. Her “eating” time was completely unsynchronized with the mealtime of the others, ensuring that they remain unaware of her unique needs.

The fact that women derive energy from semen was something they don’t want others to discover, as it was considered shocking and taboo. They fear that if this information were to become known, it could lead to uncontrollable complications in the future.

After travelling intermittently for over three months, the survivor team has finally arrived near the Western Survivor Base.

During their journey, they faced numerous challenges and engaged in several battles with other human survivors. Gu MingYue’s beauty served as a catalyst in intensifying the madness in some situations. Whenever the survivor group entered areas with human activities, Gu MingYue, along with the three other attractive women in the group, would inevitably attract the attention of men, which sometimes resulted in unnecessary trouble.

Fortunately, Gu MingYue possessed formidable combat skills, especially when her energy levels were high, allowing her to protect herself. The members of the survivor group were also highly skilled and experienced in combat, resulting in any troublemakers who approached them being swiftly dealt with through force.

If we say that the men in the post-apocalyptic world simply provoked the survivor group because they were enticed by their beauty, it would be too far-fetched. The primary reason for their actions was usually due to their desire for the valuable resources that the group possessed. Thanks to Gu MingYue’s spatial abilities, even with the addition of three more women to the team, they were able to ensure an abundant supply of food and water for everyone, which in turn, caused each of them to possess a healthy and nourished appearance, creating a stark contrast with other survivors who struggled to meet their basic needs. Additionally, their modified bus attracted attention and envy from others, which inevitably led to conflicts.

Killing, looting, and seizing women as possessions were not the most expedient or effective course of action anywhere. Merely possessing resources and women without the ability to protect themselves can only be attributed to one’s own inadequacy. In the post-apocalyptic world, relying solely on violence as the ultimate truth was not a sustainable or ethical approach. It was also important to emphasize cooperation, empathy, and finding peaceful solutions, as they contribute to building a safer and more equitable society for all.

Using ‘women’ as an excuse for justification was simply an attempt to give a nicer façade to one’s barbaric behaviour. In a world where women are scarce, it may seem more acceptable and humane to claim that the intention is to address the issue of human reproduction in the community. However, it was important to recognize that this justification was still based on selfish and primitive actions. It was far more important to prioritize ethical considerations, such as consent and respect, rather than exploiting the scarcity of women for personal gain. Building a sustainable society involved addressing human reproduction issues through respectful and consensual means, rather than resorting to exploitative or violent actions.
