Chapter 40: The Beautiful and Heroic Police Beauty
Xiao Yi could have completely ignored everything and gone with the second option. Slaughtering everyone in this settlement. He wouldn't even have to do it himself.
He only needed to release two C-level zombies, and they could easily wipe out this settlement.
But in the end, Xiao Yi did not do that.
He wanted to establish another settlement outside the City of Sin.
In this apocalypse, he wanted to build his own kingdom.
Therefore, he wanted to enter this settlement to see if its people were worth sparing.
Watching the arrogant Scarred Man slowly approach, with the other men behind him eyeing him like predators, Xiao Yi suddenly found it all rather boring.
He curled his lip. Just as Xiao Yi was about to end this little game, the woman who had brought him up suddenly stepped in front of him.
"Scar! What do you think you're doing? He's with me. If you want to touch him, you'll have to go through me first!"
The woman took off her helmet, revealing a heroic, yet delicate and beautiful face.
She was a beautiful woman with short hair, dressed in a very androgynous style.
If it weren't for her pair of exceptionally prominent and impressive feminine features, Xiao Yi might have even mistaken her for a stunningly handsome man.
She had an oval face, phoenix-like eyes, a high and straight nose, tightly pressed red lips, and a pair of heroic sword-like eyebrows, all of which gave her a very resolute and courageous air.
It was the first time Xiao Yi had ever seen such a heroic and dashing beauty, and he couldn't help but feel a flicker of interest in her.
The several team members behind the woman also raised their weapons and unhesitatingly stood behind her.
The scar on Scar's face wriggled like a centipede. He gave an awkward smile and said, "Officer Si, I was just joking. There's no need to take it so seriously, is there?"
It was clear that Scar was quite intimidated by this woman.
"Officer Si, you're mistaken. What's this about 'your person' and 'my person'? We're all on the same side! In this apocalypse, only by uniting under a single leadership can we have a better chance of survival!" Zhou Zhengyu said with a smile, raising the crossbow in his hand as he tried to smooth things over.
Xiao Yi was a little surprised. So this heroic woman was actually a beautiful police officer.
"How interesting."
A wicked smile crept into Xiao Yi's heart as he thought about the policewoman uniform he had just picked up from the Victoria's Secret store.
The woman snorted coldly, then turned and pulled Xiao Yi along, saying, "Little brother, you stick with me from now on. Don't mind them! Come on, I'll take you to get your supplies."
"Okay!"
Being pulled along by the beautiful police officer and watching her dashing and heroic posture, Xiao Yi suddenly felt a flicker of admiration for this woman.
It was obvious that Zhou Zhengyu and Scar from before were not good people, and that group was all in cahoots, a bunch of despicable bullies who preyed on the weak.
Xiao Yi was certain that the reason this settlement could exist so peacefully, with the weak not being oppressed, was entirely due to the efforts of this beautiful police officer.
It was precisely because of her charisma that so many people had gathered under her command.
It had to be said, this Officer Si was quite the leader.
"My name is Si Ruoqing. I'm a criminal police officer from the Jiangcheng City Criminal Police Division. It's a pleasure to meet you." The beautiful police officer pulled Xiao Yi to the outside of a warehouse made of plastic sheeting and introduced herself.
Xiao Yi also extended his hand and shook Si Ruoqing's, his face expressionless as he said, "My name is Xiao Yi."
"Hey, kid, why do you act like nothing ever happened? Sister Si just helped you out, and you can't even say thank you?" A young girl following behind Si Ruoqing said indignantly.
Xiao Yi sneered inwardly, "It's you idiots who should be thanking Si Ruoqing."
If Si Ruoqing had been a moment later, everyone here would have already been reduced to corpses.
"Xiao Liu, don't talk nonsense!" Si Ruoqing rebuked the girl, then said to a short, middle-aged man who had come out of the warehouse, "Get this new young brother a tent and a sleeping bag. Also, give him three days' worth of food and water."
Hearing Si Ruoqing's instructions, the middle-aged man managing the warehouse looked conflicted, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, he still turned and went into the warehouse.
Curious, Xiao Yi glanced into the warehouse and discovered that this small warehouse was actually stocked with a large amount of food and mineral water.
Besides that, there were also many clothes and all kinds of daily necessities. Simply everything one could need, all in one place.
In addition, Xiao Yi also discovered that behind the warehouse, there was a tightly closed emergency exit door.
The door was propped shut with an iron cabinet and specially chained.
Although it was shut tight, it was constantly trembling, and a series of hissing roars could be heard from behind it.
Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes. This should be an emergency exit that leads directly downstairs.
"Oh! This is our supply depot! All of this was saved through everyone's hard work! The supplies here are enough for all of us to last for three months!" Si Ruoqing saw Xiao Yi looking at the warehouse and thoughtfully explained.
"But if things go on like this, we'll be in big trouble after three months!" The short man managing the warehouse complained as he pushed a shopping cart out of the warehouse. He reluctantly pushed it in front of Xiao Yi and said, "We're trapped here, and we're supporting so many idle people. When the food and water run out, we'll just have to wait here to die!"
As the warehouse manager said this, he gave Xiao Yi a disdainful look. The meaning behind his words, both spoken and unspoken, was that Xiao Yi was just another idle person wasting food and supplies.
