“It can be considered…”

“Do you have anything to eat here?” Zhao Yu asked.

With Zhao Yu’s weak appearance and the injuries he sustained from the recent fight with the creature, she deliberated for a moment before speaking, “We don’t have much food left either, otherwise, my husband wouldn’t have gone out…”

“But considering you helped us kill that creature at the door, I’m willing to offer you some food.”

Soon, the young girl disinfected and bandaged Zhao Yu’s shoulder wound skillfully.

From her adeptness, Zhao Yu speculated that her father was probably a man who often ventured out and got injured.

“Thank you.” Seeing that his wound was taken care of. Without any qualms, Zhao Yu sat directly on the ground.

The n.o.blewoman then directed her daughter, “Go get some food and bring up a pot of water.”

In no time, the girl came up with several pieces of dried meat, two cooked potatoes, and a pot of water.

The presence of dried meat indicated that, as he had suspected, the man of this shelter often went hunting.

Zhao Yu took the food and began to eat ravenously.

He ate cleanly, not only finis.h.i.+ng all the water but also not bothering to peel the potatoes, consuming them entirely.

After the meal, they chatted a bit more.

“Where are you planning to go?”

“I’m thinking of heading to the main town.” Zhao Yu replied casually.

A look of uncertainty crossed the n.o.blewoman’s face. Their food supplies were running low, and with her husband gone for a week and likely not returning.

it meant that without male protection, the survival prospects for her and her daughter were grim.

Given her skills, even with a gun, hunting was challenging. Besides, bullets were more for protection against humans than for hunting.

“Have you ever considered staying here?”

“Eh?” Zhao Yu was looking at her puzzled.

The n.o.blewoman blushed, glancing at her daughter and hastily said, “1 mean, you could stay in this town. There are many vacant houses, and we could watch out for each other…”

“No thanks.”

Zhao Yu declined directly, “I’m set off on reaching the main town.”

This rejection made the n.o.blewoman a bit dejected. She had hoped her personal invitation would be enough to persuade him to stay.

Looking at her innocent and unaware daughter, she felt a pang in her heart and said through gritted teeth.

“Are you worried about the danger of staying in town? If you don’t mind, we have an extra room in our shelter, you could stay there…”

Upon hearing this, her daughter’s eyes widened in disbelief, seemingly shocked by her mother’s proposal.

“Mom, have you ever thought about the consequences if dad returns and finds another man living in our house?” She challenged her mother without hesitation.

The n.o.blewoman looked pained and shook her head, “Your dad won’t be coming back.”

“Nonsense…”

Zhao Yu quickly interjected, feeling a headache brewing, “No need, I won’t stay here. I have things to do in the town and can’t stay here for long.”

The n.o.blewoman’s attention was immediately diverted. Without arguing further with her daughter, she asked, “Is there a place in the town where we can survive?”

Whether he could even reach the town was still uncertain, and the chemical plant was on the other side of the county.

The n.o.blewoman asked, “Can you… take both of us with you?”

The young girl widened her eyes in disbelief upon hearing this, “Are you planning to abandon dad and run off with a stranger?”

“I’m not leaving. I want to wait here for dad to return.” the young girl protested.

Feeling emotionally drained, the n.o.blewoman was about to respond when Zhao Yu spoke up.

“Following me is pointless. My journey is fraught with danger. The main town is infested with mutated creatures; it’s not a safe place either.”

He explained, then added, “If you don’t want to stay in the shelter, you could go to Blackwater Town.”

“Black Water Town?”

The n.o.blewoman looked puzzled, “Didn’t they drive you out?”

“My situation is unique. Getting kicked out was due to my own issues. The leader is a woman. She’s very strong, having reached the third tier. If you go there, with her protection, you might survive.”

A woman?

Third tier?

The n.o.blewoman was shocked. In this post-apocalyptic world, there’s still a woman in power?

Zhao Yu briefly explained the situation. Of course, he himself wasn’t exactly sure how powerful a third-tier individual was. He just mentioned that Meng Xian’s strength was far beyond his own.

The n.o.blewoman was increasingly intrigued.

“Is this Meng Xian easy to get along with?”

Zhao Yu shrugged, “She should be fine with women.”

The n.o.blewoman was even more tempted, while her daughter adamantly refused, insisting on waiting for her father.

Zhao Yu stood up and said, “Thank you for the food. 1 should get going.”

“All?”

They are not expecting Zhao Yu to leave so soon.

Without him, the two wouldn’t dare to stay above ground.

“I suggest to travel during the day. At night, there are wild creatures roaming, and your vision probably isn’t as good as theirs.” Zhao Yu advised..
