Apocalyptic Disasters: Carrying a bun and hoarding supplies

Chapter 811: Making Women Stand Up

Xie Jinyue did not believe that such women could be taught anything. It would be better to leave them alone and let them decide what they wanted to do. What was the point of pointing the path to a blind person anyway?

"You...you are too much!" Meng Suisui did not believe such a thing. On the contrary, she believed that these women were pitiful and could be taught clearly as long as they tried hard enough. She pursed her lips and said in a soft yet firm voice, "If we teach them how to kill those mutated bugs and zombies, they will definitely get stronger. Anyway, everyone starts at some point. You cannot just call them cowards just because they did not fight back the first time."

It seemed like Meng Suisui was hit quite hard after Meng Anzhi’s depraved actions and thinking. She had started to think about how to help women rise from the bottom of the pyramid. In her mind, as long as a person was willing to fight back against these monsters, he or she would have the chance to survive in this era. After all, was she not just as scared when she first dealt with these zombies? But look at her now. She even awakened her ability.

Bai Meiyue looked at the woman in front of her; she did not know what to say to her. Though what she said was indeed correct, there was something that she was missing. The end of the times had brought considerable changes in human nature. No matter whether women had the courage or not, they were still affected by their surroundings. Especially those who did not awaken any supernatural abilities. In their mind, they were still finding it hard to accept the changes happening around them. Coupled with the fact that there were men who treated them like they were the lowest of the low scum.

After being suppressed for so many years, it was not a surprise that they had slowly started to accept the fact as truth. Because of this, many women were willing to jump into the fire pit like Meng Anzhi on their own, while some were willing to fight. The only problem was that for those who wanted to fight–their faction was too low.

With women who had been brainwashed into thinking that they were just men’s toys and the men who had awakened their ability, these women, even if they wanted to fight, how were they supposed to fight?

Even the surroundings of a person affected them.

But this was something that Meng Suisui did not consider at the moment; in her eyes, as long as she could do it, the others could do it too. So why can’t other women? Why should men suppress women to such an extent? Why does everyone think that a woman does not deserve to be anything more than just a man’s bed warmer? She did not believe so. She believed that every woman had the courage to stand up on her feet and fight alongside men.

She wanted to change the mindset of these people, and if she wanted to change it, then she would have to start from the Bai safe base. Only then would she be able to slowly bring this revolution to greater heights.

"..."

"..."

Bai Meiyue did not know what to say.

Though she admitted that what Meng Suisui said was indeed correct, it only sounded good in theory. The chances of it happening in the real world were really, really low. After all, no woman would be willing to take her chances. Though it was true that Meng Suisui was just as scared, she also had the willpower to fight. But these women—honestly, Bai Meiyue believed Xie Jinyue more when it came to those women who returned to the safe base today.

On the other side, Xie Jinyue raised her hands and clapped twice; it seemed like she was applauding Meng Suisui’s spirit, but at the same time her lazy demeanour was too casual. She raised her hand and punched the air before saying in a languid voice, "Go ahead and try your best, Suisui. If even an ant decides to move a mountain, it will be able to do it. You are a human after all; I believe that you can certainly do it as long as you are willing to work hard. I am with you. Wohoo! Let’s do it."

"Jinyue, please be quiet."

Bai Meiyue was helpless when she saw that Xie Jinyue was teasing Meng Suisui; she knew that Xie Jinyue thought that what Meng Suisui was doing was simply useless. After all, these women who had developed the mindset of someone coming to save them – could they even raise their hands and fight back? Bai Meiyue did not think so.

However, she did not want to pour cold water on the fighting spirit of her comrade. So, she suppressed her thoughts even though she felt that what Meng Suisui was doing was stupid; she kept it in her heart. As for why Xie Jinyue was teasing her? She just wanted to wake Meng Suisui up. Just like her, she had once fought for a place in society, and yet she had never succeeded. In these times, it was better to survive than to do anything that was a waste of energy and teaching fools to fight was especially considered stupid in her eyes.

Xie Jinyue rolled her eyes. She did not say anything and simply turned on her heels before walking away. Her stance was clear. She did not want to talk to fools.

Bai Meiyue turned to look at the person next to her; like Xie Jinyue, she wanted to tell Meng Suisui that what she was doing was foolish, but at that very moment, Meng Suisui was filled with fighting spirit. Her heart was filled with raging fire, and she was determined to teach the women how to fight for themselves. Seeing the look in her eyes, Bai Meiyue knew that it was a losing bet to convince the woman.
