Chapter 319 Dodder in the Apocalypse 28
On the other hand, it wasn't so easy for Yao Xi to break away from Du Xiao's team.
Du Xiao is very ambitious. He has always wanted to expand his team so that he can establish himself as a king in this chaotic apocalypse and become a regional overlord.
He favored Xu Yang, not only because Xu Yang was very strong in combat, but also because Xu Yang had once asserted that he would definitely succeed.
This led him to regard Xu Yang as a confidant, and Xu Yang quickly replaced Yao Xi as the second-in-command of the team.
However, this does not mean that he has given up on Yao Xi's small group.
Du Xiao blocked Yao Xi and the others' path and said earnestly, "Yao Xi, have you thought this through? It's good to have a big tree to lean on. Why are you turning down such a large group like ours and insisting on joining a small one? What are you thinking?"
"Even if you don't care about your own future, shouldn't you think about your men? Or do you simply not care about their lives and only care about your own pleasure?"
A skinny boy behind Yao Xi sneered, "Du Xiao, don't try to sow discord here. My life was saved by Sister Yao. Wherever she goes, I'll go!"
The others chimed in, "I believe in Sister Yao!"
"I've wanted to leave this lousy team for a long time."
"Captain Du, let me give you a piece of advice: if you keep letting Xu Yang give orders in the team, your team will be doomed sooner or later."
"Xu Yang wears a mask all day long and doesn't even dare to show her face. Who knows if she's a spy sent by other forces? Only Captain Du is stupid enough to listen to everything she says."
It's just sowing discord! Anyone can do that.
Du Xiao's expression darkened, and he said coldly, "It seems you're determined to leave! Yao Xi, do you really think you can make a name for yourself by following a small group of two or three people?"
Now that things have come to a head, Yao hope didn't hold back either, "There's no need for Captain Du to worry about that. It's better than us staying in your team and not knowing when we'll die out of nowhere!"
"Let's part on good terms. Captain Du, please give us our share of supplies."
If they're leaving, they'll definitely take their share of the resources, since they put in so much effort and risked their lives. Why shouldn't they take it?
And they can't just be supported by a new team as soon as they join, right?
Within the team, all supplies are stored centrally with the spatial ability users.
Neither Yao Xi nor her underlings had awakened spatial abilities.
This is also why Yao Xi didn't just leave with her subordinates earlier.
Because in the apocalypse, you have to travel around everywhere, have no fixed abode, and are chased by zombies. Without spatial abilities, it's really inconvenient.
Some roads are impassable for vehicles, and sometimes when encountering zombies, all you can do is try to escape.
Are we just going to throw away all the supplies we've collected?
This is another reason why Yao Xi chose Yun Qing's team.
Because their team clearly has spatial ability users.
According to the villagers, the village's supplies had already been collected by Yun Qing and her team. However, she observed that their team only had one car parked at the village entrance, which was clearly not enough to hold all the supplies.
If there were no spatial ability users, they wouldn't need to loot so many supplies, since they couldn't take them away anyway.
Du Xiao may look like a gentleman, but he's not really one at all.
He sneered, "I haven't taken action against those who betrayed the team, which is already showing consideration for our past relationship."
"You want to distribute supplies? Yao Xi, do you think I'm doing charity work?"
A small team of young people is bound to be petty and may not be willing to take in a group of people who are penniless and have no resources.
Even if someone has the courage to accept it, a sense of estrangement will inevitably arise in their heart.
Yao Xi felt that she was being treated differently in his team and was resentful, thinking that she had found a better place.
How naive!
There's no such thing as fairness in this world. When she gets looked down upon in her new team, she'll realize how foolish her decision was.
Since Du Xiao refused to provide supplies, Yao Xi was naturally unwilling to give up.
Xu Yang, who originally didn't intend to get involved, was annoyed by the noise. He walked out of the house, didn't say a word, and coldly threw a bunch of supplies in front of Yao Xi.
Du Xiao's expression was not good, and he frowned as he said, "Xu Yang!"
He does value Xu Yang, but that doesn't mean she can challenge his authority as captain.
He already said he wouldn't give Yao Xi and the others any supplies, so what does she mean now?
Xu Yang simply said, "Noisy!"
Du Xiao's expression darkened further. Was she referring to Yao Xi and the others, or was she including him as well?
Yao Xicai didn't care whether Xu Yang's attitude was like charity or not; they deserved it.
She rolled her eyes and immediately told her underlings to move their things and leave.
Du Xiao, his face grim, tried to stop him, but Xu Yang spoke up, "Captain Du, business is important. Why haggle over such a small amount of supplies?"
She was happy for Yao Xi to leave, so as to avoid them causing trouble for the whole group and making them think that she was deliberately targeting them.
Little did they know, she didn't take them seriously at all, so why would she need to target them deliberately!
Du Xiao remembered what Xu Yang had said about the dog that had awakened psychic abilities, and lost interest in getting entangled with Yao Xi and the others any longer.
They'll regret it sooner or later anyway.
He really didn't lack those supplies.
He watched Yao Xi and the others leave happily, then looked at Xu Yang and asked with some doubt, "Are you sure there really is such a powerful dog?"
Xu Yang said confidently, "If we follow this national highway and search all the surrounding villages, we'll definitely find it."
She only remembered about this dog after joining Du Xiao's team.
Because this dog was related to Du Xiao in his previous life.
Her sister told her this as a joke.
At that time, Du Xiao was already the leader of one of the major survivor bases. He had some conflicts with Feng Yan, so when he was in trouble, his sister was overjoyed.
It is said that a zombie king appeared at that time, and Du Xiao wanted to kill the zombie king before Feng Yan and obtain the zombie king's crystal core.
Feng Yan was preoccupied with other matters and couldn't attend to this, so Du Xiao led his team and, with great effort, successfully killed the zombie king.
This should have been a joyous occasion to be proud of.
Who knew that on their way back they would encounter a dog that had awakened psychic abilities.
Du Xiao wanted to recruit it, but the dog stayed in the village, waiting for its master to come home, and refused to go with him.
Du Xiao lost his temper and tried to forcibly take the dog away.
But they didn't expect that the dog's psychic abilities were so powerful that they almost wiped out their entire team.
In the end, only Du Xiao and two other superhumans managed to escape, and the zombie king crystal core they had worked so hard to obtain was stolen by that dog.
Du Xiao was really unlucky. This happened, and he just happened to be caught in the crossfire by the people from Feng Yan's base. He couldn't cover it up no matter what, and it became a big joke.
Xu Yang wants to tame that dog right now.
In her opinion, Du Xiao's previous life was ruined because he used the wrong methods.
She was confident that as long as she used the right methods, she could definitely use the dog to her advantage.
