When he had gone out, he was only followed by a puppet . But when he came back, several survivors had followed him .
These people are carrying large sacks of food, which was found in the cold storage area and other areas of the hotel . Coming from the previous shelter, which originally had thousands of survivors, this can be said to be a very small amount of food . Tang Yu knows that most of the food has been destroyed during the demon wave .
Of course, Tang Yu accepted the food . Originally, he thought some of the survivors would be jealous of him claiming this batch of food . After all, they were the first to discover this food in the cold storage area . But in fact, he was just overthinking it .
All of this food is ownerless, it was as if a person had gone out into the wilderness and picked some wild fruit . Although there is a saying of first come first serve . Without mentioning this, if Tang Yu hadn’t come along, all of these survivors would’ve already become cold corpses . Even if he were to really rob them, he’s afraid no one would dare say a word .
It’s no longer the time when the doomsday had initially broken out or when some people still thought they could restrain the strong with secular laws and morality . If these people were still as naive as back then, they wouldn’t have been able to survive up until now . What can restrain the strong is either someone stronger or a strong person with a moral bottom line .
Even so…
Tang Yu still gave the survivors some food as a reward for carrying the sacks of food back . When the survivors heard this, they were immediately filled with energy .
He couldn’t help but feel this was the advantage of being the one who hands out the orders .

No . 1 is strong, but it can’t play a large role in transportation . After all, the food isn’t packaged in boxes but scattered all over the place . No matter how strong No . 1 is, it can’t take the time to move the supplies over one at a time . On the contrary, if these survivors work together or use some tools, the gathering efficiency immediately goes up at once .
While walking and talking, Tang Yu soon got to know about these people .
As a matter of fact, the origin of these people is quite similar to his . They are all people who survived after their shelter was destroyed by a demon wave . Among them, the leader of the group is a middle-aged man named Chen Haiping, who is a first order awakened one . Tang Yu then asks for news regarding the demise of their shelter from the side .
As far as he is concerned, he only knows the shelter was destroyed by a demon wave . Tang Yu knows nothing about the whole process while Chen Haiping is an awakened one, he should definitely know something about it . Tang Yu thinks he needs to know more about this since this is for the sake of the future development of his territory .
Chen Haiping doesn’t give too much thought about his inquiry and begins explaining .
In his mind, Tang Yu and his friend are great masters from another area . They just happened saved them, so naturally, he should tell them everything he knows .
He just bitterly smiled and said: “There was once a shelter here, but it was breached by a demon wave two days ago . The survivors have almost all died out . I’m afraid there aren’t many survivors left, except for us . ”
“Demon wave? That’s really scary . But even if such a large shelter couldn’t resist the demon wave, isn’t withdrawal still fine?”

Chen Haiping’s face looked even bitterer as he said: “Withdrawal? Do you know how long the entire shelter’s defensive line held up against the demon wave?”
He held up three fingers and said: “Three minutes, only three minutes! Not to mention withdrawal, some survivors were killed by the sudden demonized beast wave without even knowing what was happening . ”
Tang Yu’s face was shocked .
His expression wasn’t false, he originally thought the shelter was destroyed after a bitter struggle . But now it seems this wasn’t the case after all!
“I used to be a leader of a small team in the shelter . Before the demon wave occurred, I was still resting in my residence . When I heard the alarm, I immediately rushed to the defensive line . But before I arrived, I saw the demonized beasts flooding in from all sides of the shelter . ”
As Chen Haiping recalled, he continued by saying: “The shelter’s line of defence strength wasn’t bad, even though it was only a small shelter . Our most powerful awakened one was also a triple awakening . Moreover, this man, fortunately, awakened a special ability . Such strength can be considered a master among the larger shelters, and even around the surrounding smaller shelters, he was famous . ”
“This fact, when combined with our machine guns, explosives and other weapons installed on our defensive line, had made it much stronger . Even with all our advantages on the defensive line, we still couldn’t withstand the demon wave . Our defensive line was immediately broken at once . ” Chen Haiping pauses to breath out a heavy sigh and showed a rare expression of anger on his face as he said: “The reason for this defeat is that the original director of the shelter, Wang Tai . Seeing the situation taking a turn for the worse, had escaped without warning from the shelter . ”
“Not only that, following Wang Tai’s escape, he had taken away many of his loyal men and also carried away many of the guns and ammunition left on the defensive line . These guns and ammunition were originally weapons and equipment installed by the Lindong military to support our small shelter . But they had suddenly been taken away by Wang Tai . As a result, when the demonized beasts attacked, the whole defensive line was full of holes when it was suddenly attacked . ”

“Even our strongest awakened one died under this sneak attack from the demonized beasts . I was lucky enough to avoid this disaster . Apart from Wang Tai’s entourage, I’m afraid there are only a handful of us left in the entire shelter that survived by luck . ”
Selfishness may be a large part of human nature, especially during the doomsday .
During the period before arriving at the shelter, Tang Yu was among the hundreds of survivors heading to this shelter . However, when their whole team finally arrived at the shelter . Of the several hundreds of survivors who started out on the journey, only fewer than 100 survivors had successfully made it to the shelter alive .
Many of the survivors died in the jaws of demonized beasts . But many more died either directly or indirectly at the hands of fellow humans .
He isn’t qualified to say anything . In the face of these injustices, he often sits on the sidelines, which is the main reason why he has survived to this day .
He also isn’t qualified to blame Wang Tai . Perhaps while Wang Tai was facing the destruction of the shelter, he cannot say his choice was wrong given the situation . But for those who were abandoned, resentment is an inevitability .
Tang Yu, as a member of the abandoned, was somewhat angry but not as angry as he expected .
Perhaps it is because he survived and successfully activated the system, or perhaps anger is only how the weak cope with their circumstances . So, instead of being angry, he’s more interested in taking control of his own destiny .
When Chen Haiping had said everything he had held in, he felt a weight had been lifted off his chest . He didn’t dwell too much on the past . How he should survive was the question he should now consider .
After moving the food once with Tang Yu . Together with the other survivors, they quickly took several more trips to move the rest of the food from the hotel to the villa area .
However, Chen Haiping felt something was amiss after several of these trips .
At first, he believed that Tang Yu and his friend were strongmen from a large shelter . He thought they were just passing by and might soon leave this area . But gradually, from chatting with him, he found they weren’t planning on leaving this area at all . This young man dressed in clean clothes was planning on setting up a shelter right here .
Building a Shelter?
At first, he thought the other party was only joking . However, after transporting all the food over, he also began hiring the survivors to carry over some loose stone and wood . Although Chen Haiping didn’t see what the point was or why they were doing this, he could see that these two masters seemed to be serious?!
Just before, he had explained how his shelter was destroyed by a demon wave, but…
He felt like everything he had just said was for naught!
