Everyone was terrified as they watched the women kill themselves one after another. Twenty minutes later, out of more than thirty women, only two remained.
Jiao Lizhi looked at them and asked, "What about you two?"
One of the women gritted her teeth and clenched her fists as she said hoarsely, "I refuse to die before I kill that pair of dog man and bitch! Even if I end up in hell, I will definitely take their lives with my own hands!"
Hearing this, Jiao Lizhi nodded and walked toward her. She squatted in front of her, reached out her hand, and said nothing.
The young woman stared at her in a daze for a moment before she reached out and took her hand.
As she grabbed her hand, Jiao Lizhi pulled her up and said, "Until you are strong enough, I will teach you how to kill. Whether it's zombies or humans, you have to become strong to protect yourself."
The young woman nodded, and determination flashed in her eyes.
Jiao Lizhi turned to the other woman and asked, "How about you?"
The woman pushed herself up and said with a weary smile, "Sister, I'm afraid of pain and even more afraid of death. Even if living is painful, I still want to keep living."
"Good."
Since the two of them had made their decisions, Jiao Lizhi brought them to a corner, filled an empty drum with her pond water, and gave them a bar of soap so they could clean themselves.
While they were washing up, she went to find something to cover their bodies.
Twenty minutes later, they finished washing. Jiao Lizhi handed them two pieces of fabric she had found and said, "Use this for now. When we join the team, we will find proper clothes for you."
Accepting the fabric, the two of them said, "Thank you, sister."
Jiao Lizhi gave them a bottle of water and some medicine for fever, inflammation, and wounds. "Take care of your injuries and drink the medicine."
After she finished tending to them, Jin Xuyan walked over and said, "Ah Zhi, I have cleaned up the bodies. We should go out and look for the animals first."
Jiao Lizhi hadn't forgotten their goal and replied, "Okay,"
Before leaving, she took out all the food she and Jin Xuyan had carried in their pockets and said, "Rest and recover your strength. When my team comes back, we will leave this place."
Hearing this, the elderly and the children looked at her, and one of them asked, "Comrade, can you take us with you too?"
Jiao Lizhi thought for a moment and said, "It's not impossible for me to take everyone with me, but you have to listen to my instructions and follow my rules. When we reach a survivor camp, we will part ways."
