Is the name important ?

"Have you left?" Mao Mei, wrapped in a stinky cloth, squeezed into the corner of the cardboard box and asked eagerly.

Tom looked down from the balcony and watched the Labrador dog wagging its tail before taking a deep breath. "Let's go, Zhang Meng has already driven here once, and the single kidney dog has come again. They must still suspect that we are here..." He heard Mao Mei panting comfortably behind him and couldn't help but look back. He happened to see Mao Mei taking off her cloth jacket and body, and quickly turned his head away.

"You... keep putting it on, they'll be ready at any time..."

"No!" Mao Mei vigorously refused, "Instead of continuing to stink like this, I might as well be caught back by them. I don't want to become a stinky beggar anymore."

It is a woman's nature to love beauty, and the same goes for hatred and bad breath. Even though Mao Mei's first impression of Tom was that she was tough, upon closer inspection, one would notice that this seemingly tough physique may have been the result of the apocalyptic survival of the past year. Before the Miniature Cataclysm, perhaps she was just a sexy Mao Mei model working in Morikawa City from Maoguo.

This is a residential building, four floors high. Tom and his sister Mao chose to hide here not because it was too hidden. It is because the first floor is a fruit shop, and many fruits that have rotted and dried again absorb moisture and continue to ferment in the humid weather, emitting a faint putrid smell that complements the rotten fruit flavor applied to their bodies.

The nose of the mutated Labrador dog has been strengthened, even when hiding on the rooftop, it can still smell their human scent, so Tom endured the smell and hid here.

Zhang Meng went through it again, and the single kidney dog followed his dog through it again. The mutated person's patience is very poor, and it is almost impossible to find it again for the third time.

Since Mao Mei couldn't bear it anymore, Tom also felt that he didn't need to continue suffering, but he didn't dare to look at Mao Mei.

Over the past year, as a junior brother, Tom has experienced several instances of female ambiguity, and his resistance to women has deteriorated. Spending time with a naked beauty with a devilish figure, he is afraid that if he looks at it again, he will have a wild temper.

So he jumped onto the curtains on the second floor, cut a small piece of cloth with a knife, closed his eyes, and took it to Mao Mei, saying, "Wear this."

Mao Mei looked disdainful and said, "It's not you who doesn't wear clothes. What shame are you afraid of? If you men don't wear clothes, then women won't do it. That thick piece of cloth, I'll have to heat it up to death when I wrap it around it."

Tom was right when he thought about it, so he picked up the cloth and turned his back to Mao Mei, then cut it a little smaller with a knife.

He plans to cut out a bikini, just wrap it around his chest and crotch, it will be too hot. Being busy living, I was caught off guard by Mao Mei patting her shoulder from behind, startling him and saying, "What are you doing?"

Mao Mei laughed heartily and said, "Haha, you're a ruthless person. I didn't expect you to be a junior brother. It's interesting, haha! Alright, I won't tease you anymore."

After Mao Mei let go, Tom finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, Mao Mei collaborated more and stayed obediently on the side without harassing Tom, which made Tom more efficient in making bikinis. It took her about ten minutes to finally get it done and put it on herself. Looking at the tightly wrapped upper body, he felt a bit ashamed and said, "I'm sorry... I cut this piece too small."

Mao Mei looked indifferent and said, "It's okay, wrap it tightly so you don't have to worry about chest pain when fighting."

Blush blushed: "Sorry... I..."

"It's okay, it's good to be alive. What's the point of being dirty and smelly? If I had to choose between becoming smaller and being a dung pit beggar, I would really rather be this dung pit beggar, especially here. Anyway, there's nothing to lose, just treat it like giving people injections every day."

"Getting an injection?" Tom thought for a moment and immediately understood Mao Mei's metaphor, his face turning red again.

"You're such a beginner... Forget it and stop teasing you. What's going to happen next?"

Mao Mei's attitude towards consulting him? Tom didn't realize it, but in the camp, Mao Mei was incredibly fierce. The first time they met was when Zhao Xifeng bought her two bottles of wine to harm himself. In his opinion, this hairy girl has quite a set of tricks. Why is she looking at a loss now?

He pondered for a moment and said, "Let's wait for a day or two. If the mutated people can't find us, they should give up and leave. We'll leave then."

"That's okay," Mao Mei said with an indifferent expression.

At this point, Tom remembered a detail and asked, "How do you know my name is Tom?"

"That little rascal said, 'That kid went around boasting about you, Tom, seducing his wife and ultimately killing her, so he wants to avenge his wife's murder on you.'"

"May I ask, what is your name?"

Mao Mei didn't want to answer directly, "Natasha, um, this is my stage name. Anyway, the people on your end are most familiar with our country of Mao, and the company has arranged this stage name for me."

"What was the original name?"

Mao Mei's deep blue eyes stared at him and said softly, "Is it important?"

Tom nodded and said, "It's not important, then I'll call you Natasha."

The two were brought to participate in the battle to attack the Steel Castle, but there was no food on the way. After the capture, these gladiators were sent to participate in the massacre. Tom refused to join Zhao Xifeng and used this excuse to take him away. As for Mao Mei, she didn't show up throughout the entire process and was directly seduced by Zhang Meng.

They haven't eaten anything all day and just had a fight and ran a short distance, so they naturally got hungry. I searched on the second floor of the fruit shop, but found nothing except for the rotten and smelly fruits in each room. In the end, I had to run up to the third floor.

Finally, I found some biscuits and instant noodles on the third floor, as well as two bottles of cola. It's natural to eat them to fill my stomach.

During this period, they exchanged information about each other, and what surprised Tom was that this Mao girl seemed carefree, but in fact, she was quite meticulous.

As he guessed, Natasha was indeed a model who came to Morikawa City to "run life". Having a tall and slender figure is completely different from the current situation. However, after the Miniature Cataclysm, in order to survive, she fought alongside other survivors, and it was only after a year that her figure underwent the same changes as before.

After all, Mao Zi already has a strong physical fitness gene, and she already enjoys exercising. In order to become a model, she controlled her diet to make her figure slimmer. Nowadays, in order to survive in the apocalypse, it is natural to discard beauty and pick up toughness, but unexpectedly, the differences in race are so great that they suddenly surpass the men in Morikawa City.

When Tom asked Natasha why she was so resistant to Zhang Meng, her answer undoubtedly highlighted Mao Zi's rough personality.

"If he can conquer me, what if I sleep for him? But that guy is not capable, his mind is filthy and he wants to die, and most importantly, his lewd appearance makes him nauseous. He still wants to conquer me? Then I might as well become a gladiator."

Being called sleazy by Mao Mei, Zhang Meng must have been furious to hear it firsthand. After all, this little man has a narrow mind and a strong sense of revenge. When he meets Mao Mei, who doesn't eat hard, he naturally sparks a spark.

And listening to Natasha's speculation, the black widow seemed unwilling to let go of Mao Mei's excellent physique, and forced Zhang Meng to put Natasha in the gladiator. Because only after experiencing a death struggle can one hone their mindset and become a champion, and then eat the crystal to have a better chance of retaining their intelligence and becoming a mutant.

This made Tom even more speculate whether there was another reason behind this gladiator rule, even behind the Black Widow.

After all, when it comes to combat mentality, after a year of shrinking disasters, most of the people who can struggle and fight outside have resilient minds, which can be said to be very strong. Is it easier to retain rationality by relying solely on the mental state honed by fighting among peers?

How did Yu Liangjun and Zhao Xifeng, two weak and unruly scholars, become mutants?

When it comes to whether to stay or not, Tom said he wants to rush back to the shelter as soon as possible because there are friends there who need help. This earned Natasha a burst of ridicule and gave him the title of "savior".

In Natasha's view, the end is approaching, and preserving oneself is the greatest goal, saving others? This is too unrealistic.

"Your friend in the distance needs to be rescued. Don't you plan to save those two legged sheep in the nearby camp? My savior, sir."

Natasha's words made Tom feel a bit conflicted, but he quickly cleared his mind and said, "I am just a humble ordinary person. All I can do is help my friends on the basis of my abilities, because those who can become my friends are worth helping. As for others, it depends on the situation. Natasha, I am not the savior, let alone a great saint. I just follow my true heart and let me have a clear conscience."

Natasha smiled disapprovingly and said, "What about me... my savior, can I be considered your friend worth helping?"

Looking at her captivating blue eyes, Tom nodded and said, "Count it!"

"Why? When I beat you half to death the first time I met?"

"Yes, because that's half dead, not completely dead. Thank you for being kind."

"Haha, that's because the gladiator killed someone in a private fight, but they will be eaten immediately. I don't want to be eaten so quickly for two bottles of wine."

Tom shook his head and said, "Because you are a person who respects others, I can see that. Not only in private fights, but also in the arena, you have never killed a single person. With your strength, it is not a problem to kill all the gladiators from my team in the New Year's chaos, but you did not do that, and you always lose points at critical moments to avoid reaching 100 points, because then you must engage in a fight to the death."

Tom estimated Mao Mei's strength to be around 20, although he didn't know if she also had crystal nuclei in her body, at least on the surface she appeared to be just an ordinary person.

Natasha's face changed, and a hint of pain appeared on her broad face, but she immediately regained her emotions: "Cut... I just don't want to become those smelly green skin."
