Chapter 576: Chapter 575: Meeting Beia 2
"And since they were always collecting a lot of those that were supposed to be ours, we nearly didn’t survive when the long winter came, so we left after that and found this place.
At least in this place, even though there weren’t a lot of strong people and we couldn’t venture into more dangerous places because of the lack of people who could deal with a lot of trouble, we were still able to live a bit better.
So we didn’t leave and continued staying here. We already planned to stay here for a long time because we don’t think we could ever go east to where my family is," Beia said and then sighed again with obvious dejection.
"When I saw Nathan a while ago, I was very surprised because I didn’t even think that I could meet you guys again because of the distance. I was already thinking that I might be dead today because of those rats that suddenly came here," Beia added afterwards.
"Oh, you’ve become very pessimistic. At least you’ve met us today, which is certainly your fortune," Nathan said with a chuckle.
"You’ve indeed suffered much, but don’t dwell on it too much; we still have to live for a long time.
We’re still going South, but if you want, you can come with us. If we go east again, then we can take you with us to your family.
As one of the largest suppliers of grains in the east, as long as your family didn’t become zombies in the beginning, they’re probably still alive.
We could also leave you guys in a larger base, which is certainly more secure than smaller bases, if you don’t want to go east any longer.
But of course, once you join us—even if it’s just a temporary arrangement—you guys won’t be allowed to just be idle," Treyton said.
"Wow, you’re still as generous as ever. Thanks! I would like to go east if possible, even if it takes longer," Beia said happily and then promised, "Don’t worry, we will work hard and won’t cause any trouble."
"Don’t worry, as long as you guys properly train and do your own tasks, there won’t be any problems. The team is still very generous in supporting its members, and you won’t even have to worry about being hungry in the team," Treyton said.
"Yep, you don’t have to worry about your shares not being distributed if you guys indeed worked for it," Nathan added.
"I know. You guys have always been like that even before, so the treatment of your team certainly won’t be bad.
And you guys are obviously very capable, as you guys could still travel around and you guys even killed thousands of rats in just a few hours.
Me and my cousin are certainly the ones who were taking advantage of you guys. So, we would certainly do our best not to be burdensome."
"Yeah, just do your best and you don’t need to do it in a hurry. Anyway, since you decided to join for the time being, then it would be best to introduce you to the others, but it would be best to do it with your cousin so that it won’t be a hassle. For now, I’ll just introduce you to my lover," Treyton said, and then hung one of his arms around Luciel’s shoulder and said, "This is Luciel, my lover and the vice leader of the team."
Then he said to Luciel, "This is Beia; she’s a friend we knew from our circle before. We don’t meet much, but we often run into each other at parties, so we’ve known each other for a long time already."
Luciel just greeted Beia briefly, and Beia also greeted him before saying that she had to go back to where she was living to look for her cousin as well as pack their things, because she knew that they would also leave early in the morning.
When Beia left, Treyton and Nathan talked more about her and explained more things.
"Where did you see her?" Treyton asked.
"I saw her when she was lining up to get her share of the things that we were distributing. I really didn’t expect to see her here and lining up for some supplies.
Her demeanor is also very different from before, so I didn’t recognize her immediately.
When I noticed that she looked like Beia, I had to look at her carefully, and when she mentioned my name after seeing me, I was finally sure that it was indeed her."
"Yeah, her always confident style and smile were gone, so even though she only became thinner, it’s a bit hard to recognize her. If you didn’t bring her with you, I might not have recognized her even if I saw her outside."
"This chaos is really bad for people. She, who always had a lot of people surrounding her, was suddenly left behind, and she even had to work very hard for some things—which she certainly hadn’t done before.
And those people who left her behind and went to find support from elsewhere were also very ungrateful.
They had gotten a lot of things from her because she had always been generous to those people around her, but no one even remained or even helped a bit when they found other people that could protect them; instead, they’re causing her more trouble," Nathan said and then sighed a bit.
"That’s just how it is. She’s just unlucky to be with those people who were only using her.
But if she had brought her bodyguards with her, then she probably wouldn’t be in such a sorry state.
With how she had been before, she probably ditched her bodyguards when she went to play with her girlfriends."
"Yeah, that’s probably what happened; that’s why she didn’t mention other people aside from her girlfriends and cousin," Nathan said.
"You guys kept mentioning her girlfriends—why not just say friends?" Luciel asked curiously.
