Chapter 241: Saving Mother and Daughter

As Bai Ze and Shangguan Bingxue walked through the streets on the west side of the camp, they saw more and more, and they also had a certain understanding of what people looked like in the face of hunger.

Some women who put on some makeup and were poorly dressed tried to attract some customers. Prices range from a piece of stale bread to a pack of instant noodles, depending on how clean and beautiful the girl is.

As for the others...... Their fate can only be starvation or death. Without work, they have no way to make a living.

After turning a corner, Bai Ze and Shangguan Bingxue were about to continue walking forward when a faint but anxious voice stopped them.

"Sir, please wait a minute!"

Looking over the side of the dirt road, both saw a woman in her thirties to early forties sitting on the ground. It was difficult to estimate her age, as her face was covered in mud and her body was already very thin under loose clothing.

Next to the woman was a young girl about ten years old. Her dark hair reached her shoulders, but her face was covered in mud and dust. The clothes consisted mainly of tattered trousers and large sheets wrapped around the body, as well as a pair of shoes of different colors.

Bai Ze was about to ignore this woman, but seeing the little girl's innocent and pure but pitiful eyes, his stone heart couldn't help but move and stopped.

On the way, they saw no less than a dozen hungry children. However, at this time, Bai Ze was powerless. Although he is strong, he is not capable of handling everything and solving all problems. The only thing he can do is hope that these children can endure more.

When he takes over the entire base and starts applying his own rules, the miserable situation of those who don't have enough time to grow because of life will improve. At the very least, they don't have to worry about not being able to eat.

Seeing them stop, the woman's eyes lit up and she hurriedly said, "Please buy our mother and daughter!" With just two packets of instant noodles, we'll serve you for one night! ”

When Bai Ze heard the woman's words, his face sank completely.

Even Shangguan Bingxue, who has always been indifferent, has a significant change in his secret expression.

"You...... What did you say? Bai Ze gritted his teeth and said with difficulty. He looked at the little girl and saw that although she was afraid, she did not contradict her mother.

“…… You...... You sell your daughter? Shangguan Bingxue couldn't believe her ears, and asked repeatedly, for fear that she had heard it wrong.

As if sensing the anger of the person in front of her, the woman hesitated what to say next. A heart-rending pain flashed in her eyes, tears slipped down her face, and she choked up, "I...... Me and my daughter...... It's been two weeks since we ...... Didn't eat much. ”

Only those who have experienced hunger can understand how terrible that feeling can be. As the body begins to devour your life, your flesh slowly begins to be consumed by blood in search of the nutrients it needs to survive. The pain of an empty stomach is unbearable for anyone, and even the bravest soldier will bow to this feeling over time.

It's just that Bai Ze and Shangguan Bingxue have never experienced the feeling of hunger. As people who risked their lives to fight from the very beginning, in return for their efforts, they gained enough strength to at least be able to feed themselves. So, none of them can really understand this woman's behavior.

In fact, Bai Ze and Shangguan Bingxue didn't know that this was the first time a woman had done such a thing. She had no choice, if she only sold herself, with her current figure and appearance, she would not be able to attract any customers at all. However, there are many perverts in the world, and the desire of mother and daughter to share a bed is enough to tempt a beast.

"If I don't...... My daughter will starve to death......" The woman cried sadly.

When the little girl saw her mother crying, she crawled over and hugged her with her little hands, as if to show support. However, the girl's actions will only make the pain in her mother's heart worse.

Bai Ze, who was about to slap the woman in front of him, finally calmed down a little when he heard the woman's words.

Shangguan Bingxue also realized that neither she nor anyone else who had not experienced something similar could understand the feelings of the woman in front of her. Most of the previous anger turned to sadness, as if he had made up his mind.

What right do I have to do this? Bai Ze scolded himself and took a deep breath to calm himself down.

He looked at the mother and daughter, and said lightly: "One night is not good, in the future, you and your daughter will follow me, and I will raise you two." If you want to, you can make a deal, if you don't want to, forget it, just because we haven't seen it today. ”

After speaking, Bai Ze opened his backpack and revealed the contents inside.

Looking at the various foods inside, the woman's eyes flashed with greed, and the little girl swallowed heavily. Except for the relief food distributed by the base government once a day, the mother and daughter did not eat anything else; So, this is the first time they've seen so much food in a long time.

The girl's mother didn't know what to say for a while. If a person can eat so much food, it must be a high-ranking official or a strong warrior in the base...... So why would such a person take away two weak women? In the final analysis, women know that in addition to this body, they are a burden.

Only Shangguan Bingxue understood that this was Bai Ze's way of helping the mother and daughter. The blue eyes trembled slightly, and the eyes looking at him changed slightly. Although she already knew that Bai Ze was not a tyrant, this was the first time she had seen him show kindness. Even if his words and deeds were indifferent, she could see that Bai Ze really cared about the two people in front of him; At least I care about this little girl.

As for why Bai Ze took his mother away, Shangguan Bingxue vaguely knew that it was to prevent the little girl from being separated from her mother.

In order to let his mother understand Bai Ze's intentions, and to alleviate the worries in the heart of this woman who had had enough of suffering, Shangguan Bingxue showed her face. Although she usually doesn't care too much, she knows that she is a beauty, and in this case, her beauty is not an obstacle for the first time, but a support.

Looking at the fairy-like appearance of the girl in front of her, her mother was stunned for a while. But soon, her eyes lit up, and she no longer hesitated: "I do!" My daughter and I would like to follow you, sir! As long as you feed both of us, we are willing to do whatever you want us to do! ”

There is such a beautiful and moving woman by his side, and the young man in front of him has no reason to target such a mother and daughter. Besides, this young man doesn't look like a pervert, and he has a lot of supplies on him. The girl's mother knew that this might be the only chance she and her daughter would have to live, so she decided to seize this opportunity with all her heart.

Seeing that the woman accepted, Shangguan Bingxue breathed a sigh of relief and covered her face again. She knew that although Bai Ze might be willing to give in this time, if the woman rejected his offer, he would definitely turn around and leave without giving a second chance.

Bai Ze nodded when he heard the woman accept the proposal. Indeed, Shangguan Bingxue's idea was right, if this woman rejected the proposal, he would not hesitate to turn around and leave.

"What's your name?" He asked calmly.

"My name is Ni Fang, and my daughter's name is Xiang Feng." Mother Ni Fang hurriedly responded. She tried to stand up, but her body almost lost her balance.

Just when she was about to fall, Bai Ze grabbed her arm and stabilized her. Despite the foul smell emanating from the woman, his expression did not change and he took something out of his bag.

"Let's eat this first, and when we're done with something, you can eat something better." As he spoke, he handed the mother and daughter two loaves of bread and two cartons of milk.

Looking at the bread and carton of milk, Ni Fang and Xiang Feng's eyes flashed with longing. When was the last time they saw anything other than relief food? Almost exactly a month ago! As for the milk...... It was a luxury they could only dream of but could not reach.

Ni Fang took the food handed to her and began to eat it carefully, looking at the two people in front of her, not wanting to offend her. She knew that her life would be better if she followed these two people, but if she them off, she would be miserable.

As for ten-year-old Xiao Xiangfeng, she is still just a child, and she doesn't have too many complicated ideas in her simple and immature mind. She took a light bite of the bread in her hand, looking like she wanted to eat it for a long time, and looked at the young man curiously with two big eyes.

"Let's go." Bai Ze glanced at the girl, hesitated for a moment, and commanded in a deep voice.

Under the envious gaze of the other survivors, Ni Fang and Xiang Feng followed in the footsteps of Bai Ze and Shangguan Bingxue. Although the corner was almost empty, there were three or four survivors in addition to the mother and daughter.

Seeing Ni Fang and Xiang Feng eating bread and drinking milk, they were all envious. However, no one dared to try to snatch food. First of all, if they were brave people in the first place, this would not have happened, and they would have either become evolutionaries or die in the mouths of some zombie or mutated beast.
