Chapter 138: Unexpected Situation
On the other side, Selene and Emily were witnessing almost the same thing Leon had seen. Only, there was a little difference.
A young boy of about sixteen or seventeen years old came before the two evolvers and smiled.
"Big Sisters! How about you play with me for a while? Hehe, I can assure you that my fingers are good at relieving any tension in your body! You’ll definitely love it!"
Selene frowned faintly, while Emily expressed surprise.
"You... what is wrong with you?"
The boy paused, and as if his mask had broken, an expression of sadness crossed his face.
"S-Sorry, big sister. But my younger sister hasn’t eaten anything since yesterday. I swear I’ll please the two of you. Just give me some food."
Selene’s frown deepened, and she looked at the malnourished boy again. His knees were wobbling, and it looked like he might collapse anytime.
So, she spoke, "Where is your sister?"
Unlike what she expected, the boy immediately became guarded against her.
"N-No! Please leave my sister out of this! She’s too young!"
Selene realized he had misunderstood her, so she turned to Emily for help. The blonde woman leaned forward and patted his head.
"We’re not doing anything to you or your sister. We just want to take you back with us and give you guys food. You shouldn’t do this kind of thing next time, okay?"
The boy was stunned, seemingly unable to believe what they were saying. Were there really such kind people in the world?
Although it had only been a little over a month since the Star Stream appeared, the world had already changed greatly, and kind people were like rare gems that could no longer be found—especially in this outer ring of the base.
Seeing Emily nod at him with a smile, he relaxed and decided to trust them.
Selene said to the blonde woman beside her, "Take him and his sister back to the house. I’ll join you later."
Although Emily was surprised, she nodded and complied, following the boy to where his sister was.
Meanwhile, Selene continued scouting alone. However, she soon realized a fatal mistake. Unlike the people here who were covered in dust and looked unhealthy, she was like a light shining in the darkness. Selene was well aware of her beauty, as she had started receiving marriage proposals even before she became a teenager.
So, it was only natural for her to attract attention from the hopeless individuals in this area. Some men shamelessly displayed their throbbing manhood before her, as if hoping to seduce her and get her to feed them, while others called her sweet names to get her attention.
However, all Selene felt for them was disgust and disdain. These people were all cowards who refused to fight for themselves. If they had gathered the courage and killed a few zombies, wouldn’t they be in a better condition than this?
Now, most of them who had probably been haughty men in the past had reduced themselves to being prostitutes.
’Sometimes, I feel like the Star Stream’s appearance wasn’t so bad, after all.’
She casually ignored everyone who was trying to get her attention, and naturally, that resulted in the displeasure and anger of those around her.
"That haughty bitch! A month ago, she must be a high school student or a college student! Damnit! I was a banker. How dare she treat me like air?"
"She’s really an arrogant brat. She’s probably being fed by some powerful evolver who’s using her body."
"Yeah, right? A mere sex toy daring to treat us like that!"
Eventually, one man’s restraint broke.
"Fucking bitch! Even if hunger later kills me, I’ll make sure I enjoy you right here on the road!"
Roaring like a wild animal, he pounced towards Selene, then stopped. No, he didn’t stop. He froze.
It wasn’t an intentional freezing either, as his entire body was encased in ice. Because he had already tilted his center of gravity, his frozen figure fell to the ground and shattered into different parts with pieces of his enraged face littering the ground.
Survivors screamed and scrambled away, leaving Selene alone in the area.
[You have slain a Level 0 Normal Human!]
[You cannot level up!]
[Progress has been stored!]
Selene glanced coldly at the shattered pieces of a frozen human on the ground, then sighed.
"Ah... I really didn’t want to cause trouble."
......
Meanwhile, in the northeastern part of the outer ring, Leon and Jones followed the burly woman into the house where she had taken the boy.
Surprisingly, when they entered, the scene they were expecting wasn’t what they saw.
The boy was seated at the edge of the bed, eating a bowl of plain rice quietly, while the woman stood before him with a complicated expression on her face.
"Carcel, didn’t I tell you not to go out again? Those bitches almost fucked you to death!"
The woman looked really vexed, but couldn’t actually vent on the young boy. Seeing this, Leon and Jones were confused.
It was only then that the woman noticed the two intruders and her expression turned sharp.
"Who are you two?!"
Although she wasn’t an evolver, she felt great danger emanating from these two guys that looked pretty harmless at a glance.
Leon tilted his head and asked in a flat voice, "Who are you to him?"
The woman’s brows furrowed, and she said cautiously, "I’m Anna, and I’m his aunt."
Jones sighed in relief. Meanwhile, Leon simply nodded.
"Oh, is that so..."
He turned around, preparing to leave. However, the woman stopped him.
"W-wait!"
"Hm?" He paused, looking at her with a flat expression. As long as the situation wasn’t as he thought initially, he didn’t need to interfere.
Why was this woman stopping him, then?
The burly woman hesitated slightly, then asked, "You... you’re evolvers, aren’t you?"
Leon nodded, earning a mild sigh from her. She was already expecting this.
"I... I don’t know what you guys are doing here, but can I join your team? I assure you that I can help carry supplies whenever you go hunting. Don’t worry, I won’t be a burden. If I end up dying, that’s just my bad luck."
"Oh?" Leon’s black eyes flashed with a look of interest as he reassessed the woman.
It seemed she wasn’t as simple as he thought. An idea suddenly came to him, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Actually, I have a different proposal."
Seeing that seemingly innocent smile, Jones shuddered. ’Not good!’
