After leaving the shopping mall, more than a dozen people plus one fox squeezed into three vehicles and returned to the Cheng family home.
After getting out of the car, Cheng Jiang once again picked up Lin Xiao Mi and carried her into the house, completely ignoring his proper fiancée without even giving her a second glance.
Mu Cheng didn’t care about this anymore. The Mu family had already become useless to the Cheng family. This time, she hadn’t exposed her spatial ability either, so it was normal for Cheng Jiang to turn his face on her.
But this was strange…
Mu Cheng glanced at Cheng Hongwei’s couple from the corner of her eye. These two were still acting, still pretending to be kind to her. Why?
After entering the house, everyone sat on the sofa and took out the food from their backpacks to distribute. Mu Cheng and Tang Nuo stood quietly to the side without saying anything.
Cheng Hongwei surprisingly spoke up for her.
“Xiao Cheng didn’t participate in gathering supplies this time, but since we’ll all be traveling together in the future and contributing along the way, she should also get a share.”
Of course, some people were dissatisfied with this, but no one said anything.
Lin Xiao Mi looked at Mu Cheng mockingly.
“Xiao Cheng, since we’re sharing everything equally, shouldn’t you and Mr. Tang also take out your supplies too?”
Everyone’s attention fell on Mu Cheng and Tang Nuo. Wang Xintong immediately said, “That’s not fair. Those are Xiao Cheng’s own supplies.”
But no one listened to her.
Yang Fan said, “That’s right. Since we’re all traveling together from now on, for fairness, you should also contribute your supplies.”
“I only just arrived at the supermarket after you had already finished looting it. What exactly do you expect me to contribute?” Mu Cheng said coldly. Then she walked to the side and leaned against the door.
“As you said, I didn’t contribute anything, so I shouldn’t take your supplies either. You don’t need to worry about me and my second brother. Just divide everything among yourselves.”
Seeing her say this, no one argued further. They continued distributing according to their original plan.
Dry food was given to each person equally, while all fresh ingredients were handed to a girl named Chen Yue. This girl was likely, just like in her previous life, a space ability user.
After everything was divided, Cheng Hongwei called Mu Cheng and Tang Nuo over to discuss their route.
From their conversation, it became clear that they had learned from the radio that the government had established a base called Yang City Base, about 500 kilometers away, and they planned to head there.
Yang City Base—later known as Jiangcheng Base.
In her previous life, this group had followed this same route, enduring great hardships to reach the base. Later, Cheng Jiang had relied on Mu Cheng’s spatial spring water to heal people bitten or scratched by zombies. Step by step, he climbed his way into the city lord’s inner circle, replaced the key figures around the lord with his own people, and eventually seized control of the base, renaming it Jiangcheng Base.
Cheng Jiang… this time, let’s see how you climb so smoothly to power. Let’s see how you rise from an insignificant nobody to the top.
Mu Cheng looked at Cheng Jiang and Lin Mi’er mockingly. The two of them didn’t even bother hiding it in front of her, sitting closely together, even holding hands.
She was very curious—when it came to profit and survival, would they still love each other the same way?
After the discussion, Wang Xintong took another girl to the kitchen to cook.
The rest of them busied themselves sorting their backpacks and continuing to discuss details.
When the meal was ready, everyone gathered to eat together. At the table, Lin Mi’er continued clinging to Cheng Jiang, and Cheng Jiang kept serving her food.
Lin Mi’er looked at Mu Cheng smugly, but Mu Cheng didn’t even care. She quietly ate her meal, holding her bowl in silence.
