Chapter 117: Our Exit Is Completely Blocked

With a sharp ""pop,"" Shi Yuebai, carrying a large burlap sack, vanished right in front of Pang Zhenggong.

She had a floor plan in her hand, so her teleportation had some sense of direction this time.

That way, she wouldn't randomly teleport onto the security line like last time.

However, this body of Shi Yuebai's had been using teleportation spells frequently lately.

Although it wasn't enough to cause any major errors, her control over precise locations was still worlds apart from her previous life.

She teleported to the side of the tent where Xiao Lingye's team stored their food.

It looked like Xiao Lingye wasn't with his team at the moment. The sky was still early, gloomy but with excellent visibility.

Shi Yuebai, who was usually as steady as an old dog, felt a rare pang of anxiety.

But she noticed there was no one by the food storage tent.

Shi Yuebai let out a sigh of relief.

Not far away, on the ruins, an R-rated scene was unfolding.

The men Xiao Lingye had assigned to guard the food tent were surrounding a woman, doing unspeakable things.

The woman's helpless cries rang out, but Shi Yuebai's face remained expressionless.

Sitting in her wheelchair, she raised her hand and flung a fireball at a nearby tent.

Then, Shi Yuebai turned and teleported herself into the food storage tent.

On the ruins not far away, the men tormenting the woman heard someone shout ""Fire!""

They hurriedly pulled up their pants and ran to put out the fire.

It wasn't out of kindness or a willingness to help others.

It was because the tent on fire was too close to the food storage tent.

If anything happened to the food tent, Xiao Lingye would want to tear them limb from limb.

The woman's helpless sobs gradually faded. Shi Yuebai sat in the tent packed with food.

She shook open her burlap sack and began stuffing it with food.

To be honest, all the food Xiao Lingye's team had found was expired.

Expired chips, expired bread, expired canned goods, expired noodles, expired bottled water, expired biscuits...

Not a single fresh crop—no one in the wasteland could grow anything.

Shi Yuebai opened the sack wide, stopped looking at expiration dates, and blindly stuffed food in.

After all, she wasn't the one eating this expired food.

It was for Captain Qiao to distribute to the old, weak, sick, and pregnant.

Expired or not, Shi Yuebai couldn't care less.

She risked the danger of her whole body’s energy boiling over from teleportation to collect this food for those people.

They couldn't, and didn't have the right to, be picky.

Shi Yuebai quickly filled the sack.

But this one sack of food was just a drop in the bucket compared to the whole tent's supply.

No wonder Xiao Lingye's team was the strongest outside the big city.

The food he hoarded was countless times more than Captain Qiao's.

No, before meeting Shi Yuebai, Captain Qiao couldn't hoard any food at all.

Even when they managed to save up a little, it was all spent on buying water in the end.

Thinking of this, Shi Yuebai teleported the sack back to the Shi family.

She grabbed a dozen or so expired cans of fish and placed them on her lap.

Shi Yuebai teleported out of Xiao Lingye's food tent.

The first time she used this spell in her current, large, heavy body, it was extremely dangerous.

But the more she used it, the more muscle memory her body developed.

The risk of her energy exploding decreased each time.

On the nearby ruins, the woman who had just been assaulted was curled up in a small hollow, hugging her knees.

She seemed trapped in a state of traumatic fear.

She didn't even notice when Shi Yuebai appeared in front of her.

Shi Yuebai shook her leg, and a can from her lap rolled onto the ground in front of the woman.

The woman, her face dirty, looked up. ""You? You are...""

Then she saw the can of fish in front of her, and surprise flashed across her face.

Shi Yuebai said nothing, giving her no chance to ask questions.

She watched as the woman hurriedly pulled the tab on the can.

Shi Yuebai teleported away again.

The woman dug into the can with her hands, eating the fish as she tried to thank Shi Yuebai.

But Shi Yuebai was already gone.

Shi Yuebai teleported to another spot ahead.

On an open patch of ground sat several disheveled, naked women.

Their expressions were numb, and they were all pitifully thin.

Their bodies were covered in wounds, and they huddled together under the sun for comfort.

Shi Yuebai had noticed them earlier when she tossed the can to the other woman.

There were no guards from Xiao Lingye's team here, either.

Shi Yuebai looked around and shook her head.

The members of Xiao Lingye's team were all far too careless.

Maybe they thought, as the strongest team, with so many people, no one would dare sneak in and cause trouble in broad daylight.

Shi Yuebai tossed the cans of fish from her lap to the women sitting in the sun.

At first, the women didn't react.

When they realized what had landed in their arms, Shi Yuebai was already gone.

""This...""

The women on the ground were stunned at first.

Their first reaction was that some man was playing a cruel trick on them again.

But then, they pulled the tabs on the cans and began to wolf down the food.

It didn't matter if the cans were poisonous, expired, or if someone was toying with them.

They were starving and desperately needed something to fill their stomachs.

After distributing her loot, Shi Yuebai teleported herself and her wheelchair back to the Shi family.

She was intimately familiar with every flower, every blade of grass, every brick and tile of the Shi family home.

So when she teleported back earlier with the sack of expired food, she had tossed it right at the entrance of Captain Qiao's pit.

The placement was perfect.

At that moment, Captain Qiao was discussing with Xu Xuejiao about taking people out to scavenge tomorrow.

""Even though we can't eat our fill like before, at least we don't have to worry about water anymore.""

""We don't have to use all the food we scavenge to buy water in the city.""

That was a small blessing amid misfortune.

They used to have to empty out the whole team's supplies just to buy water.

Even though Shi Yuebai's vegetables had been burned, she still had the ability to gather water.

No one cared what kind of power Shi Yuebai actually had.

But everyone was starting to believe that Shi Yuebai could do anything.

Everyone entrusted their lives to her, completely.

""Wife, this time... hey, what's this pile of stuff?""

Captain Qiao stared in surprise at the huge burlap sack blocking the entrance.

""Our exit is completely blocked!""

Today, there was actually a fire downstairs in our building.

I was just at home, lazing around, when I smelled something burning and checked the residents' group chat."
