Chapter 5: Too Weak
While Xu Xiang was lamenting the hardships of the humans in this world, a group of men slowly approached her. Sensing their aura, Xu Xiang didn't move, and sat on the stone boulder calmly as before.
Those men saw her just sitting on the stone boulder quietly while looking at the sky. One of the men who looked like the leader of the group pointed at her and made a cutting motion on his neck. Their intention to kill and plunder is very obvious. After waiting for a few minutes, Xu Xiang still didn't see any movement from them.
'Should I make the first move? They are too slow.'
Before she lost her patience, those people finally came out from behind the tree. Looking at their dirty and thin faces and bodies, she was amused. With their physical condition, even without using any weapons, she can defeat hundreds of them with bare hands.
With how thin and weak these people are, they can't even be compared with those newborn low level zombies in her original world. There is no way she fears them.
Those people saw her still sitting on the boulder, and the leader licked his chapped lips while looking at her from head to toe. He had a disgusting grin on his face as he spoke.
"Young lady, you are sitting here alone, looking so lonely. Come, let this brother accompany you. I guarantee you will be very satisfied. He he he…"
The others also understood what their leader was up to. One of them said, "Brother, although she looks ordinary, she has a very attractive figure and beautiful eyes. After you finish having fun, leave her to us."
Hearing his words, the others also laughed. Too lazy to listen to their dirty conversations, she took out her dagger from her space. Without warning, she rushed towards the leader, lowered her body, and directly cut off the tendons in his legs.
"Ah!!"
Before the others could react, they saw that their leader had fallen to the ground with a scream like a pig getting slaughtered. They were surprised but didn't see any blood on his body. The person closest to him quickly helped him up, but he couldn't stand up anymore.
"My legs! It hurts!" The leader screamed in pain and fell to the ground again.
"Big Brother! What happened to you?"
"Ah!"
Before they realized what was wrong with their leader, there was another scream. As soon as Xu Xiang made a move, she didn't plan to let them go unscathed. She mercilessly cut off their legs' tendons.
The silent forest is now filled with those men's screams. In less than a minute, those people were already rolling on the ground in pain, but not even a drop of blood could be seen on their wounds. With how dangerous zombies are in the apocalypse world, she is already an expert in killing without spilling blood.
'These people are too weak. I wonder how they can survive in this world in the first place.'
Xu Xiang gave them a cold look, and put the knife back into her space. They glared at her and when they met her cold and indifferent eyes, they didn't dare to even make a noise. She gave them a look as if she were looking at a corpse.
Trembling with fright, those people dragged their bodies with their hands, and hid behind dried trees and stone boulders, trying to get as far away from her as possible. Rolling her eyes at them, she turned around and walked deep into the forest.
After walking for another twenty minutes, she saw a dilapidated hut not far from a dry stream. Her eyes lit up and she quickened her pace. Not long after, she gently pushed open the half broken wooden door.
Creak~ Bam!
The half broken wooden door was pushed by her, and it completely fell to the ground. The thick layer of dust on the floor flew into the air as the wooden door fell. She waved away the dust and walked into the hut.
She looked around, but could see everything at a glance, because there was only one room. The size of the hut is only around three square meters. There are some broken wooden furniture, and a few broken pots and bamboo baskets. After searching for a while, she couldn't find anything useful except a bamboo basket.
Holding the bamboo basket in her hands, she thought for a while. A few seconds later, she took out an earthen jar from the space and filled it with her lake water. After that, she put the earthen jar in the bamboo basket. Seeing that the bamboo basket was still half empty, she pondered for a while.
'What kind of food do they have in this world? Based on the steamed buns obtained by the Xiao family from the officials, then the world must at least have flour and coarse grains. I just don't know what kind of grains they have here. Hm…'
After thinking for a long time, her eyes suddenly lit up, and a smile appeared on her face.
Xu Xiang walked back to the resting place of the Xiao family with the bamboo basket on her back. Before coming out of the forest, she took two birds from her space. As someone who prepared for the apocalypse, her space is also filled with various animals.
She tied the birds with thin tree roots and placed them in her bamboo basket after breaking one of their wings. Looking at the weak birds, there was a smile on the corner of her lips. It is impossible for a healthy bird to live in current conditions, so she specially selected these two weaker birds.
She covered the bamboo basket with an old cloth she found from the hut, and continued walking. Not long after, she saw the Xiao family resting on the sideroad together. At this moment, their faces are not looking good. Hiding the curiosity in her eyes, Xu Xiang approached them calmly.
