(1) Actually, I've Always Believed You Are the True Future of Humanity (1)

It was unknown how long.

The woman slowly opened her eyes. The unfamiliar environment made her expression change. She suddenly sat up, her body stiff and straight.

Was this a tent?

A very cramped space, everything visible without needing to observe.

"Where is this?"

She only remembered encountering a zombie, the kind whose speed and strength had no flaws. She fought desperately and was finally pounced on and bitten. The position where she was bitten was her abdomen.

Gradually, she lost feeling, didn't know what happened, or why she was here.

She lifted the clothes at her waist.

There were bite marks on her waist, but the flesh and blood were intact.

She knew what had happened was real.

It was just that she really didn't know what exactly had happened when she lost her memory.

Rustle!

A slight sound came.

Quy Thu Nguyet's expression was very calm. An unfamiliar environment, a strange sound – anyone would be vigilant. But she knew that if the other party wanted to do something unfavorable to her while she had lost her memory, why wait until she was awake?

Very quickly, a small, sturdy head appeared, with a chicken-coop hairstyle and a dirty face. Only those eyes were extremely bright.

Instantly.

Quy Thu Nguyet and the little boy looked at each other.

The little boy said nervously: "Hello, auntie."

"Big sister."

"Big sister, hello."

The little boy held a dry, hard piece of bread in his hand. It was unknown how long it had been exposed to the sun. Whether it was edible was a question, but this was the only food he had found outside so far.

"What's your name?"

"Big sister, my name is Kim Thu."

"Where is this place?"

"I don't know where this is either, but it's very safe here. Many people are staying here. There are many zombies outside; it's very dangerous."

Quy Thu Nguyet looked at Kim Thu's face, then at the clothes he was wearing. In a short moment, she had roughly figured out some things. The little friend before her, named Kim Thu, had probably not had it any better.

Survivor base.

"Where are your adults?"

Kim Thu said: "They are all dead. Only I am left."

Quy Thu Nguyet sighed inwardly. This damned apocalypse had caused so many families to be broken. What was even more pitiful were these children. It was clearly a time for them to be carefree, yet they had to take care of themselves, surviving at the bottom of the food chain in this wretched apocalypse.

She stood up, preparing to go outside and take a look.

"Big sister, you can't go out. You'll be in danger if you go out."

"What danger?"

"They will do unfavorable things to you. I've seen many big sisters get caught by them. If you hide here, you'll be very safe. Here, this is the bread I just found outside. You eat some."

Kim Thu looked at the bread, licked his lips, but still handed the bread in his hand to the big sister.

Quy Thu Nguyet didn't take the bread but looked at Kim Thu's somewhat helpless, very blank, and tender face. If one were to say who could maintain the purest heart and humanity in the apocalypse, it would probably be these children.

She knew what Kim Thu meant.

Without the constraints of law, human nature erupted, and women became prey for some men.

Quy Thu Nguyet lifted a corner of the tent and looked at the situation outside. Yellow sand enveloped everything, making the surroundings appear very desolate. Thinking of the place she remembered appearing, and then thinking of which nearby environment resembled this.

In an instant, she thought of an area.

It was just that... under unconscious circumstances, how did she end up here, more than 100 kilometers away?

Puzzled and blank.

"Big sister isn't hungry, you eat it." Quy Thu Nguyet gently patted Kim Thu's head. Who would have thought that all she patted was dust, which scattered in the tent.

Kim Thu lowered his head shyly, "Big sister, I haven't washed my hair in a long time. Water is very precious here."

Then he thought of something.

He hurriedly fumbled on the ground.

Quy Thu Nguyet saw Kim Thu take out a mineral water bottle filled with water from the ground. Her expression changed slightly. A child living here needed to bury water in the mud. Was this because he was afraid of it being snatched by others?

"Big sister, if you're thirsty, drink some water."

Kim Thu appeared very generous. When Quy Thu Nguyet was unconscious, he had even calculated the amount of water by the cup. But now that big sister was awake, he acted as if it wouldn't matter even if big sister drank it all.

"Big sister won't drink. You're here, don't they share food with you?"

"No, everyone relies on themselves to find food outside. If you can't find anything, you can only go hungry."

Hearing him say these things.

Quy Thu Nguyet had many emotions in her heart.

"Have you thought about leaving this place?"

She asked.

If Kim Thu continued to stay here, there were only two outcomes. One was to be extremely lucky and survive until the end. After becoming an adult, influenced by the surrounding environment, he would become a new villain in the apocalypse.

The other was not being able to hold on until the end and dying tragically in the apocalypse.

The second possibility was the greatest.

Kim Thu said: "Mhm, I want to leave. I want to go to the Duong Quang shelter in Hoang City. There's an uncle there. I saw the things he wrote. He welcomes everyone to go there."

"How do you know about the Duong Quang shelter in Hoang City?" Quy Thu Nguyet was very shocked.

Kim Thu fumbled around in the tent again and soon found a booklet, "Big sister, look, it's this. I picked up two copies when I was scavenging outside. At first, I thought it was a comic book, but later I found out it wasn't. My previous copy was discovered by them and confiscated, but they don't know I still have another one."

Quy Thu Nguyet took the Zombie Picture Book and glanced at it. The zombie species were recorded in great detail.

"Yes, this is indeed a very good place. You really want to go, right?" Quy Thu Nguyet thought of taking this child away, to that Duong Quang shelter.

Although the journey was long, as long as they could arrive, it would be fine.

"Mhm, I want to go." Kim Thu nodded.

"Okay, big sister will take you."

Quy Thu Nguyet's expression was extremely firm.

Just then.

There was movement outside.

Quy Thu Nguyet looked outside through a gap. Even Kim Thu curiously grabbed a gap and looked outside.

"It's him..."

"Do you know who he is?" Quy Thu Nguyet saw Kim Thu's expression was very grave and sensed that the other party might be a very important figure in Kim Thu's heart.

"Mhm, his name is Chu Bang. He was the previous boss here. Half a month ago, he took people out to collect supplies. After that, those people never came back. Everyone thought he was dead. I didn't expect him to actually come back."

Kim Thu was extremely surprised.

Quy Thu Nguyet frowned. She smelled a very peculiar scent from the other person. Ordinary people couldn't smell this kind of scent, but ever since she injected the lucky cells, she had gained a kind of acquired ability.

At this moment.

The group of survivors waiting in the base, seeing Chu Bang return, all had very shocked expressions, extremely astonished, their eyes revealing disbelief, as if they had seen a ghost.

Chu Bang's face was a bit pale. Looking at those who had once followed him, he smiled and said: "What's wrong? Seeing me back, you all look very shocked. Are you welcoming me, or not welcoming me?"

The group looked at each other, finally turning their gazes to that burly man, the same burly man who had gone out to collect supplies earlier. In the current shelter, he was the one who truly had a say.

It seemed that no one here was designated as the boss.

But everyone knew in their hearts, it was just a tacit understanding.

The burly man's eyes changed slightly. He knew he should do something. After Chu Bang was presumed dead, he had gradually established a firm foothold here.

Now that Chu Bang had returned, it was a challenge to his position.
