Qin Yi agreed that Du Ruan was indeed a little straightforward and to put it bluntly, he was a little dumb, blur, and extremely stubborn.

This type of person wasn't suited to live in the apocalypse. Although it was said that the strong were respected, one had to be a little scheming too.

During the apocalypse, the scariest thing wasn't the zombies but the human heart.

The apocalypse was like a complete reshuffle of the world. There wasn't any order. It was a society with no morals and humans had lost their minds.

Qin Yi remembered that there was someone who claimed territories and kings.h.i.+p, wanting to make this world his dynasty. That person wanted to be an ancient emperor.

Hence, in an apocalypse like this, people schemed against one another. You wouldn't dare to trust anyone because even your closest kin could betray you.

So, Du Ruan's character wasn't suited for the apocalypse.

But the words that came out of Du Ruan's mouth after that changed Qin Yi's opinion of him.

“I'm not dumb. I will only listen to you guys. I won't believe anyone else's words.”

Qin Yi found him dumb yet intelligent at the same time. He had an intuition of a beast and knew how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

Indeed, in her previous life, the heart of Yun Huan's team was as solid as a rock and they really trusted each other wholeheartedly, becoming different scenery during the apocalypse. This was also the reason why Qin Yi chose them.

Chu Mohe pouted with his little lips and looked unhappily at Lin Qing. “You're not allowed to talk bad about Coconut. Don't make me, Third Brother, beat you up.”

Lin Qing's lips twitched. He was number four in the team and was indeed younger than Chu Mohe but it was merely a few months, alright?

However, when he thought about how terrifying Chu Mohe was when he beat people up… Lin Qing still shut his mouth in the end and didn't speak anymore.

When Chu Mohe was satisfied with Lin Qing's behavior, he touched Du Ruan's head and soothed, “Coconut, don't worry, I will never let anyone bully you. I will beat whoever that bullies you.”

Qin Yi's eyes were burning when she watched this Beauty and the Beast scene.

Du Ruan was a good baby who asked whenever he didn't understand. “Fox, how did you know that Yang Hao wouldn't come along with us?”

Lin Qing raised his brows delightfully and cleared his throat, getting ready to show off, but was interrupted by Qin Yi.

“The south side is prosperous but there are many zombies there too. Yang Hao's team doesn't have strong fighting skills at all and if they came along with us, they probably wouldn't gather any supplies because they knew that we would take most of it.”

This Yang Hao wasn't a simple man either. Although their side was a little bare, there were fewer zombies and people competing with them. They would be able to gather quite a lot of supplies.

“This Yang Hao is a little scheming indeed. When we get rid of the zombies at the south, they will be very safe when they return and they can do us a favor at the same time, killing three birds with one stone. What a good idea,” Lin Bai added.

Yun Huan smiled coldly. “It wouldn't change the situation much.”

They chatted and laughed during the journey and very quickly, they arrived at the south side. When they entered the south, Xiao Lan, from her Origin s.p.a.ce, reminded Qin Yi.

“Yiyi, there are many zombies here and about ten Rank One zombies. You guys must be careful. Oh, right, there is a crystal core in those few Rank One zombies.”

Qin Yi's eyes lit up at the mention of the crystal core. ‘Crystal core, this is good stuff.'

Qin Yi smirked. “I'll reward you with a drumstick.”

The round blue ball in her Origin s.p.a.ce rolled happily. ‘Hng hng, since this dumb woman is treating me quite well, I will undertake this difficult job of helping her, then.'

‘Seriously, without me, this great Ice Phoenix King, this dumb woman wouldn't be able to find any crystal core eh?'
