19 Their Helplessness

Deng Xiao was also a famous beauty and Qin Yu's best friend from the same dorm room. In this team, only Qin Yu, Deng Xiao, and a few other pretty girls had not yet submitted to Xiao Zhe and the others' lewd threats. Most of the girls had already submitted in order to survive.

This was the cruel reality. It was the end times, there were no laws or morals. The only law was survival of the fittest. Xiao Zhe and the others could easily find an excuse to kick out any girls who were a little disobedient from the team. Even forcibly humiliating or killing them would have no consequences.

Once kicked out of the team, they would only starve to death. Moreover, before starving, they would unlikely escape the fate of being humiliated by other boys. Compared to that, it was better to submit to Xiao Zhe and the others. At least they could survive for the time being, and not be humiliated by too many people.

Qin Yu bit her lip and looked up at Deng Xiao. "Are you willing to accept this?"

"Me? What can I do even if I'm unwilling? Xiao Zhe's patience with us is limited. Now that he's a mutant, his prestige is even higher. No one can stop him from doing whatever he wants."

When Qin Yu heard this, she fell silent.

Xiao Zhe had already sent someone to hint that because he respected her, he had not forcefully done anything to her so far. However, his patience was limited. If she still did not know what was good for her, once Xiao Zhe lost patience, she would not escape the fate of being humiliated.

Moreover, there were too many women now who took the initiative to throw themselves at Xiao Zhe. Xiao Zhe would not remain loyal to Qin Yu. His mentality was more about toying with her.

There was another key issue. Now it was the apocalypse, no one knew what would happen the next second. Without the constraints of laws and morals, the mentality of enjoying life before death had taken over. Everyone was starting to become unscrupulous, even the most honest nerdy boys before were now constantly seeking excitement.

Qin Yu suddenly thought of her good friend, Huang Wen.

Huang Wen, Qin Yu, and Deng Xiao were all classmates and dorm mates.

The only difference was that Huang Wen was average-looking and a top student, which made people jealous. Qin Yu and Deng Xiao were both great beauties, so this time, Xiao Zhe took the initiative to take them in but rejected Huang Wen.

In order to survive, Qin Yu and Deng Xiao could not care less about Huang Wen, and could only reluctantly stay in Xiao Zhe's team for now.

"Let's go talk to Huang Wen. I heard today they dug up a lot of taros, and a very fierce boy became their leader. Xiao Zhe and the others had a conflict with them today, and Hao Lei and the other two were killed."

"If we go to Huang Wen, will she take us in? We don't have any food."

Qin Yu and Deng Xiao's food was collected from the team every day. They could not take any food with them if they left.

"Let's not worry about that for now. Huang Wen is our good sister, she won't leave us out to dry. Let's go over first to understand the situation."

After discussing, the two found an excuse to ask for leave from the camp.

It was already evening when the two of them found Huang Wen and the others' new camp. Yang Xiao was already asleep, and Huang Wen was standing guard with more than ten girls. Seeing Qin Yu and Deng Xiao, the three were very excited and hugged each other.

The three briefly communicated about their recent situations. Qin Yu and Deng Xiao were happy about the latest progress for Huang Wen and the others. The day before, the two had still been worried that Huang Wen wouldn't make it past the day.

"I heard your women's team got a tall and mighty boy as your leader. Does he like you?"

Qin Yu teased.

"Go to hell, stop joking about me."

Huang Wen said with a laugh. However, when she thought about how Yang Xiao had taken the initiative to request to join their team yesterday, and the things he did today like digging taros, fetching water, roasting taros, and stewing eel soup, she still felt it was unbelievable, as if in a dream.

They had thought they were at the rope's end, but Yang Xiao had appeared out of nowhere and given them a new lease on life.

"Where's your boss? Why don't you introduce him to me? Are you afraid I'll snatch him away?"

Deng Xiao poked Huang Wen and teased.

"Sure, who doesn't know the charm of the great beauty Deng? It'd be great if you could snatch him away. Come over to our team and be our boss's wife., so we won't worry he will leave us someday."

Yang Xiao had agreed with Huang Wen and the others to cooperate for four days yesterday. She was really worried that after two days Yang Xiao would leave without saying goodbye. At that time, the 30 girls would fall into hunger and panic again.

Deng Xiao's words really struck Huang Wen's sore point. She glanced at the two beauties in front of her, and a thought flashed in her mind. If she could get Deng Xiao and Qin Yu to join her team, perhaps they could keep Yang Xiao.

These two were campus belles after all.

Huang Wen believed that none of the girls currently on the team could keep Yang Xiao. If Qin Yu and Deng Xiao came over, it would be hard to say.

People were selfish. Huang Wen, who was in dire straits, naturally had to think of ways to keep Yang Xiao, this life-saving straw.

"We have some food now. Although we can't compare to Xiao Zhe's team, at least we won't be bullied by those rotten men. I also know Xiao Zhe has his eyes on Qin Yu, and Xu Hua has always wanted to pursue Deng Xiao. If you stay there, sooner or later you'll fall into their clutches. Why don't you two come over to my side?"

Qin Yu and Deng Xiao looked at each other. After a moment of silence, they said helplessly, "Huang Wen, let us think carefully about this. We really don't want to stay in Xiao Zhe's team, but they do have food. For now, they haven't done anything to us. If we come over, Xiao Zhe, Xu Hua, and the others will definitely vent their anger on you. Do you know, both of them are mutants now? They're very powerful. I'm afraid Yang Xiao alone is not their match."

"Mutants?"

Huang Wen was stunned. She looked at the two of them. This was the first time she had heard of mutations happening.

Qin Yu nodded. "Xiao Zhe also said many people would slowly mutate. It's only a matter of time. He also said after the creatures of the earth mutate in a few days, they may attack us humans. At that time, whether we can even survive is uncertain."

At this point, the three girls couldn't help but shiver.

The three chatted a while longer before Qin Yu and the other two left.

Before leaving, Huang Wen wanted to give them two roasted taros, but they declined.

"You should keep them for yourselves. We still have a lot of food there. It's quite difficult for so many of you."

Huang Wen nodded and said seriously, "You two take care as well. If you are bullied by Xiao Zhe and the others, come over to me. We rely on each other. We have food to eat and soup to drink. If it comes down to it, we'll die together."

The three good friends embraced with tears in their eyes.

Yang Xiao's electric current sensation lasted over half an hour before gradually disappearing.

"This mutant eel probably has a lot of energy, so the electric feeling was intense. Sigh, what a pity. If only this pot of eel soup were for me alone."

Yang Xiao thought regretfully.

It had been three days since the electric current appeared in his body. Other than his strength constantly increasing and his senses becoming more acute, he really couldn't find any other changes to his body.

He decided not to think about this matter for now and to just let nature take its course. As long as he increased in strength every day, this was a very good thing.

Yang Xiao took out the black longsword Gu Bo had gifted him and looked at it for a while before falling asleep and hugged the black longsword.

With Huang Wen and the others on guard duty, he could now sleep at ease.

Being the boss was really awesome.

That night, Huang Wen, Chen Fei, Chen Lu, and two other girls also experienced a slight surge of electrical currents within their bodies. However, it only lasted for a few minutes before disappearing. These girls were initially panicked, thinking they might have been poisoned by the mutated eel, but when they saw that everything was fine, they felt relieved.
