Oliver suddenly gets inspired. He's thinking about the banknotes that people have tossed away in this apocalyptic world, and the countless gold and diamonds in the cities. As long as he can take some back to his own world, it'll be super easy to become a billionaire. And looking at the situation now, even if he can't get the gold and diamonds in the cities, he can still get loads of them through food.

But these thoughts just flash by, and right away Oliver feels down. He only has a one cubic meter space storage. How many bags of instant noodles can he bring here? There are a lot of banknotes here, but the printing dates are after 2070. They're still mostly green, but he doesn't even know which version they are. They can't be used in his own world at all. There's a lot of gold and diamonds in every city, but in the European area, which city doesn't have millions of people? Those are millions of zombies. If he wants to die, he can think about going to get them.

The ways to get rich he's thinking of are all blocked, Oliver can't help but sigh heavily. His dream of becoming a billionaire seems to be just a waste of time.

Victoria sees that Oliver takes the ring and the small bracelet. Her face goes back to normal. She's sitting in front of the campfire, casually putting down her gun, and throwing a few pieces of firewood into the fire. Only then does Oliver notice that Victoria is holding an automatic rifle. He doesn't know what model the rifle is. After all, after decades, many things aren't what he used to be familiar with. He's thinking that in this apocalypse, the strong always have the power. Since he doesn't even have a gun, he's probably one of the weak.

Oliver smiles awkwardly and sits opposite Victoria. He turns his head and sees that the three old people and three young people have already gone into the tent. He asks, puzzled, "Victoria, it seems your team isn't very good." Victoria's face looks a bit sad. She's in a low mood and says, "Should we just leave them behind? Anyway, they're all living people. As long as someone has a conscience, they won't leave them. In this disaster, all of us should come together. Only then do we have a little chance to rebuild our homes." She smiles bitterly and sighs, "But how many people really understand this? In the face of disaster, everyone shows their true and ugly sides. As long as they can stay alive, anyone can be their stepping - stone."

She becomes a pitiful woman in a flash, Oliver can't help but feel sorry for her. He says, "Where are you going? The small town ahead isn't easy to get through."

Victoria looks sad and says, "Half a month ago, the base we've been guarding for three years runs out of food, and everyone's running away. Just then, the base is being broken by zombies.Less than one - third of the people managed to escape alive.Along the way, a lot of people are starving to death because there's no food. To reach the Dellai Base, many teams abandoned the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled.Because they need food and water, yet they can't contribute to the protection of the team."

Oliver looks at Victoria strangely and says, "So you can't bear it and are willing to stay and lead them to form a new team?" Victoria nods and shows a determined look. She says, "In this apocalypse, women have the lowest status. They often just become tools for men to do bad things. But I'm going to prove to everyone that women can also kill zombies and lead the old and weak to the new base."

Oliver shakes his head and says, "To be honest, it seems really hard to make your wish come true now." Victoria says painfully, "Yes. When we left the base, there were more than thirty people in the team. But in half a month, only nine people are left. Without enough food, and there are still hundreds of kilometers from here to the Dellai Base We can't make it there."

If this were a normal world, a few hundred kilometers would just be a three - or four - hour drive. But in this apocalypse, there are zombies everywhere, and some roads are broken. It'll take at least half a month to walk hundreds of kilometers. There are no safe places to get food along the way. If they want to eat, they have to take it from the zombies. And they're also being suddenly attacked by zombies from time to time. It's really lucky that their team can get here.

Victoria looks at Oliver and asks, "What about you?" Of course, Oliver won't tell her where he's from. He shrugs and says, "I have no place to go now. I can only wander around. Maybe I'll be eaten by zombies tomorrow. I'm alone and have no weapons. Do you think I can cross hundreds of kilometers to reach the new base?"

Victoria hesitates for a while, stands up, and runs to the strong man who's on watch. The two are talking in a low voice. After arguing for a few words, they come back to the campfire and stare at Oliver. She says, "Although I'm the team leader, James is the main fighter in the whole team. I get him to agree to let you join the team. Do you want to?"

Oliver looks at this rather poor - looking team. He's thinking that Victoria wants him to join probably because he can still fight. Oliver's also thinking that in this apocalypse, he's alone and has no weapons. Sooner or later, he'll become food for zombies. Now, although this team is in bad shape, it's still much better than being alone. Thinking like this, Oliver nods and says, "Sure, I do."

Victoria smiles, showing her white teeth, and says, "Great. Now I'm your team leader." She pulls out a pistol from her leg and throws it to Oliver. She says, "There are only two automatic rifles in the team. You can use this pistol first."

Oliver takes the pistol. He's a bit excited.Oliver puts the pistol into a pocket that's easy to reach. The matrix gave Oliver powerful shooting abilities and he thinks he can use the pistol to shoot down a branch a hundred meters away.

Seeing that Oliver puts the gun away, Victoria takes out a map from her pocket, spreads it on the ground. She says, "This is our way to go tomorrow. We'll pass through three small towns and seventeen villages. You came from the front. Can we try to go around?"

Oliver nods and says, "Yes, there's a small town a few kilometers ahead." Victoria says, "Can you tell me about it?" Oliver ran out of the small town ahead. He didn't see many places clearly. But he still tells her everything he saw one by one. After listening, Victoria is a bit disappointed and says, "It seems that many people has already searched this small town. Otherwise, these zombies wouldn't be so close together in one place. I wonder if there's still any food left in the town."

Oliver thinks of the small supermarket he saw. There might still be a small amount of food there.Victoria hesitates for a while, then suddenly slaps the map and says through gritted teeth, "We must go into the town tomorrow. The team has been hungry for three days. We must find food before we starve to death..."

Oliver is really shocked. He knows that there are more than thirty thousand zombies in this small town. With only two automatic rifles and one pistol in the team? This is almost like going to die. Victoria seems so eager to get food that her actions become too impulsive.
