Previously, the Qu Family had endless capital for Qu Yimin to waste.
But as the number of survivors from E City increased, the flow of supplies in Xiang City became more and more difficult.
In fact, the abundance of supplies in E City wasn’t as rich as Qu Yimin had imagined.
If the supply of materials at Xiang City Base were to be cut off,
it would have a comprehensive impact, not only affecting the survival of the survivors in Xiang City but also affecting the remote E City Base.
So although Qu Shiheng still had people left inside Xiang City Base, these people must no longer allow Qu Yimin to waste resources like before.
He quickly made a decision for Qu Yimin,
"Now, those who stand with you outside of Xiang City Base have already been exposed, so be it, have them take you immediately, exit from Xiang City Base West, and detour through Xiang City Base North."
"I have arranged people there; they will bring you close to Gong Yi."
Having said that, Qu Shiheng then fiercely threatened his sister,
"You must obey. If you don’t, I will not take care of you anymore."
"You have also seen what happens to those helpless women inside E City Base."
"I don’t think you want to end up like those women, so just obediently follow my arrangement."
There is a phenomenon that is invisible in Xiang City Base.
But in E City Base, or other cities, this phenomenon is very common.
That is, women in tattered clothes can be seen everywhere on the street.
They sell their bodies just for a morsel to survive.
After all, being a fragile woman in such times is very difficult.
There are no jobs that require frail women with weak strength.
For the same amount of food, the Qu Family would rather hire strong men who can do more work; what use are women with no strength?
So the women who cannot survive, who can neither make the long journey to Xiang City Base nor find a regular job to properly survive,
can only sell their bodies.
And when too many women sell their bodies, the value of a woman’s body depreciates, creating a characteristic of E City.
Mostly, they are exploited by men without compensation.
But even if they are exploited without compensation, what can they do?
Can women in this time find any justice for themselves?
Do their bases have arbitration institutions to stand up for their rights?
So they can only swallow their grievances, hoping that after being exploited by men for a day, they might encounter a kind-hearted person who will give them something to eat.
This is now the common fate of women in all bases.
Qu Yimin knew this too; she had once mocked those women’s degradation without ever empathetically thinking about them.
Although they engaged in degrading acts, what choice did they have to avoid degradation?
If there were any chance to survive, they wouldn’t want to engage in such acts to trade for sustenance.
Moreover, now that it had come to this, sometimes they sold themselves not just to survive.
Most of these women were still responsible for their children.
If they didn’t want to live, did that mean their children shouldn’t live either?
Hearing the harsh words released by Qu Shiheng, Qu Yimin was so angry she wanted to smash her phone.
What could she do? She could only follow her brother’s arrangement, leave through the iron gate of Xiang City Base, escorted by her brother’s bodyguards, to head north of the base.
However, after trekking through a convoluted wire path, Qu Yimin soon arrived at Xiang City Base West.
She looked at a zombie staggering towards her from several meters away, screamed, turned her head, and directly fell down on the ground.
She cried and shook her head,
"I don’t want to, I don’t want to go from Xiang City Base West to Xiang City Base North."
"This is too terrifying; I don’t want to see these; I want to go home, I want to go back to E City, you all quickly call my brother, let my brother think of a way... I want to walk through the inside of Xiang City Base, go to the north."
So now either find a way for her to walk through the interior of Xiang City Base to meet Gong Yi,
or take her back to E City.
No matter what the choice, Qu Yimin simply does not want to detour through Xiang City Base West.
This is too exaggerated, too terrifying, why are these zombies so disgusting?
