Chapter Sixty-Four: Shirahoshi's Thoughts

After this little episode, Liu Rui continued with the main matter.

“There are also nine agricultural seeds appearing for the first time.”

As she spoke, another seed appeared in Liu Rui’s hand, about the size of a fist.

Fang Xia received it, and immediately relevant information flashed through his mind.

“Vegetable seed, planting cycle of one month, yield five hundred kilograms.”

This was a treasure.

Vegetables contain a wealth of nutrients essential to human health. If deprived of vegetables for too long, the most immediate effect is digestive trouble—constipation is inevitable.

After the apocalypse, ordinary vegetable farming became impossible. Only these special seeds would grow; just throw them into soil, and without needing any care, in a month you’ll have fresh vegetables.

But they couldn’t be used yet; they’d wait until the earthquake passed, then plant them in their own territory.

All things considered, the probability of good items in this supply drop was much higher than before, and today was only the beginning—there were six more days to come.

As time went by, and as humanity as a whole leveled up, future supply drops would offer better and better goods. There would be nothing you could imagine that the supply drop wouldn’t deliver.

After inspecting it, Fang Xia handed the seed back to Liu Rui.

Now, in Fang Xia’s spatial equipment, aside from the daily harvest of upgrade crystals, the rest was a jumble of miscellaneous items.

For example, all the hotpot seafood was stored in Fang Xia’s space.

There were instant rice meals, self-heating pots, and even a heap of luxury goods for women.

Just the stockings and high heels alone probably amounted to over a thousand kilograms in storage.

After all, these were things Liu Rui had gathered and tossed to him; these pre-apocalypse luxuries were surely reserved for their small group.

Besides these, cigarettes and alcohol took up considerable space.

There was also salt and a variety of seasonings.

Either precious items, or things for their small team’s use.

The spatial equipment had increased, but with so many people, it was never enough.

Most were rings, and when truly stacked up, it wasn’t as much as imagined.

With the inventory nearly finished, Fang Xia brought up the next plan.

“Starting tomorrow, we’ll only send one squad—a hundred people—to join the other groups in clearing zombies. The rest will all leave the city.”

Today, they’d caught a timing advantage; tomorrow wouldn’t yield such good results, so it was better to focus outside the city, preparing for the future exit.

Fang Xia didn’t hide his plans for leaving the city from these few, and even told them about the impending earthquake in advance.

Aside from Liu Rui, although the others found it hard to believe, they still chose to trust him.

Fang Xia had demonstrated his uncanny foresight in front of them more than once.

After working so hard for so long, the team settled into rest for the afternoon, though normal duty shifts continued.

With everyone fed and content, the second floor fell briefly silent.

In Fang Xia’s room.

Fang Xia was already asleep, but Bai Xing lay wide awake, staring at the ceiling.

After a while, Bai Xing quietly moved Fang Xia’s arm aside, crawled out of bed, and slipped out of the room.

To the left of Fang Xia’s room was Liu Rui’s, where she and the little girl lived.

Though Liu Rui was exhausted, she hadn’t slept yet, and was carefully calculating how to maximize the benefit from the upgrade crystals.

A soft knock sounded at the door, and Liu Rui instantly became alert.

But remembering the four Tier-2 bodyguard ladies downstairs, her anxiety faded.

She opened the door, and Bai Xing’s small head poked in.

Bai Xing put her finger to her lips, signaling Liu Rui to be quiet, then dragged her out.

“What’s this? If you don’t work harder now, those nine hundred chances might be snatched by the twin sisters,” Liu Rui teased as soon as they stepped out.

Unexpectedly, Bai Xing wasn’t annoyed, but seized the moment to speak.

“That’s right, the twin sisters—who wouldn’t be tempted? They’re always there, sooner or later he’ll give in.”

Liu Rui looked at her in surprise, pinched her cheek again, wondering what had gotten into her best friend—she seemed like a different person.

“Still pinching! My face will get big and he’ll like me even less,” Bai Xing grumbled like an annoyed kitten, shaking her head to escape Liu Rui’s mischievous hand.

“So why aren’t you sleeping? Here to vent your frustrations?”

This friend wasn’t usually like this—did having a man change her?

“I need your help,” Bai Xing went straight to the point.

Listening to Bai Xing, Liu Rui’s mouth slowly fell open, forming a small 'o'.

“You want me to join you?”

Impossible—this couldn’t be the real Bai Xing. How could she come up with such an idea?

“Those other sisters are two, beautiful, and I can’t handle them alone, so I have to ask you,” Bai Xing said matter-of-factly.

“Look, we’re best friends too, and there are two of us, so we’re not outnumbered.”

“As for quality, just look at my long legs, and your unparalleled charm, Rui Rui—we’re not at all inferior to them.”

“In terms of strength, those two are just pretty faces, nothing to fear.”

“Besides, Rui Rui, you’re the steward of our group—privately, everyone says you’re the captain’s chief wife. Who else could compare to your status?”

“So, as long as we join forces, we can deal with those little vixens in no time.”

Liu Rui was stunned—this girl was clearly plotting all along, otherwise how could her reasoning be so clear?

She even listed so many points.

Seeing Liu Rui silent, Bai Xing grew anxious. The plan depended on Liu Rui’s agreement; otherwise, it was all meaningless.

Bai Xing had been observing Liu Rui for a long time. She always obeyed Fang Xia without hesitation—while others needed time to digest his words, Liu Rui never doubted him.

Bai Xing concluded Liu Rui had no resistance to Fang Xia.

Now, Liu Rui’s power was growing. If she betrayed Fang Xia, she could easily sideline him or even take over as leader.

Whenever Bai Xing thought of this, she felt afraid—her best friend and her man, what if they turned against each other?

After much thought, she realized the solution: let her best friend become her man’s woman too, and everything would be resolved.

And it would kill two birds with one stone, securing her own position.

“But there’s no need to rush, is there?” Liu Rui replied.

She had once considered doing it herself, but as Fang Xia clearly became the protagonist, her ambition faded.

Moreover, she adapted to this apocalypse faster than any other woman. Polygamy? In a lawless society, wasn’t that normal?

Even in ordinary society, some women had said they’d rather be a rich man’s mistress than a poor man’s wife.
