"Sigh...."

Zhao Meng let out a long sigh, unwrapped the candy, and put it in his mouth, a bitter smile appeared on his face:

"This kind of thing, I've always found hard to accept. I've mentioned it to my brother a few times, but he curses me out every time."

"It's the apocalypse, after all, with our heads hanging by a thread, everyone is really scared and needs to vent.

Even if your brother wants to suppress it, over time, it might lead to a violent backlash."

Wang Hao shrugged, expressing his understanding of it all.

"Then why should us women have to bear it?"

Li Qian said with dissatisfaction.

"Because you're weaker! In this world, strength is king, and those without power just get beaten."

Wang Hao looked at Li Qian and said calmly:

"This world never had much fairness, even in a civilized society, it's the same.

And this unfairness starts at birth. Now, with everything reset, it seems a bit fairer."

Li Qian gritted her teeth.

Even though she was unwilling, she knew Wang Hao was speaking the truth.

In her time at the steel plant, she's seen too much.

The little princesses who were once so high up, even celebrities, aren't they still crawling on the ground licking toes?

Annoy someone and you're fed to the ghouls.

Tantrums and drama don't work anymore.

There's no internet now.

"That girl named Wang Han, such a pity, ending up with that pervert Yang Tian, sigh..."

Zhao Meng still had a good impression of Wang Han.

She was a college student like them, and her school was even much better than theirs.

Even in terms of looks, she wasn't much worse than Li Qian.

Such an excellent girl, ruined by an animal like Yang Tian, what a waste.

"That girl isn't as innocent as you think."

Wang Hao patted Zhao Meng, smiling as he said:

"Didn't you notice? From the start until now, she's been very cooperative.

She's been doing her utmost to minimize the harm we do to her. I guess she'll also serve Yang Tian with care."

"Huh? This..."

Zhao Meng looked baffled.

"Women may be weaker, but only in terms of strength.

Their scheming and plotting aren't weak at all, how many men are played by them like fools? Don't just worry about this and that for nothing.

Think for yourself!"

As soon as Wang Hao finished speaking, Li Qian's face turned white.

Wang Hao was clearly hinting at Zhao Meng!

But Zhao Meng didn't catch Wang Hao's meaning.

He just grinned foolishly and nodded: "Brother Hao is right, my roommate got fooled by a green tea too, going nearly mad.

That idiot got drunk at midnight and jumped into the river, and I was the one who fished him out."

Wang Hao couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Buddy! You're the biggest fool, aren't you?

"Sigh....., superpower users are really incredible, if only I could become one too."

Li Qian sighed, speaking wistfully.

While shifting the topic, she also voiced her heart's desire.

Wang Hao was right, in this world, strength is king.

Without power, one would only get bullied.

If she could obtain a strong superpower, then she'd have the strength to fight back.

Revenge would become much easier too.

"They are quite incredible, this time when we go to Purple Gold Mountain, we might come across those power fruits along the way.

By then, I'll pick one for you to eat."

Zhao Meng looked at Li Qian with affection, his manner that of a bootlicker.

"Mm! You're so good to me."

Li Qian's face showed a happy and blissful smile.

Her eyes were full of sweetness.

Zhao Meng scratched his head, silly-grinning: "As long as you're happy, I'm willing to do anything."

"Alright, alright, stop the public display of affection, I just ate, you know."

Wang Hao expressed some speechlessness.

"Brother Hao, do you think guns are still useful now?"

Zhao Meng looked at Wang Hao and asked softly.

"Hmm?"

Wang Hao was slightly taken aback but then understood what Zhao Meng meant.

He smiled as he drew the handgun from his waist and handed it to him:

"Never played with one?"

"Hehe! I've always wanted to find one, but my luck has been bad, never found any."

Zhao Meng scratched his head awkwardly.

Taking the gun from Wang Hao, he handled it as carefully as if it were a beloved new toy.

Boys, after all, none would dislike guns.

But in a civilized society, many people in the country might never touch one in their lifetime.

Since the apocalypse, Zhao Meng had always wanted one but never managed to get it.

"Guns are still useful, although superpower users are tough-skinned, a gun might not penetrate their skin, just like with Heart-Eating Ghosts.

But they can still cause some harm, and if you attack some weak points, like the eyes or nostrils, the damage is significant."

Wang Hao said calmly.

"This gun is so beautiful, and the feel, the metallic sheen, it's just perfect."

Zhao Meng handled Wang Hao's gun with fascination, reluctant to let go.

"Do you like it?"

Wang Hao asked with a smile.

"Like it, of course I do, what man doesn't like guns."

Zhao Meng nodded repeatedly.

Even Li Qian's eyes flickered, her gaze stopping on the gun multiple times.

This too is power!

In the absence of superpowers, a gun is the strongest force.

If she could get a gun, maybe she couldn't kill Zhao Hu, but taking care of Zhao Meng would be a piece of cake.

By then, she could use the gun to hold Zhao Meng hostage, maybe even force Zhao Hu to kill himself.

Though unlikely, Li Qian thought it was still worth a try.

"Once this adventure is over, I'll give it to you when we get back."

Wang Hao said with a smile.

"Really?"

Zhao Meng looked thrilled.

"Yeah, guns will eventually become quite common. After we get back, I'll teach you how to use it.

It's hard to deal with Heart-Eating Ghosts, but it's still possible to handle ghouls and zombies."

Wang Hao said with a smile.

He had many guns, Yueyue's storage space even had rocket launchers.

Giving Zhao Meng a few was actually no big deal.

But it might make others suspicious.

Also, Zhao Meng had never used a gun before; if a shot went off by accident, it could hurt someone, and the noise might attract creatures.

"Brother Hao, you're just too good to me. I've decided to acknowledge you as my brother."

Zhao Meng was so excited he was about to give Wang Hao a big hug.

Wang Hao patted Zhao Meng's shoulder.

Subconsciously, he glanced at Li Qian.

This sunny, handsome young man would probably be miserable in the future!

However, he had said what needed to be said, even what's better left unsaid.

There's nothing more he could do.

Li Qian's revenge wasn't wrong, either.

The things to come would be up to them to resolve.

He was just an outsider, after all.
