Apocalypse: Transmigrated General's Daughter Uses Space to Survive Chapter 497: The Origin of the Protective Gang in the South

"Follow . I know the right spot for the water tanks." The leader urged with a smile on his thin face.

Humans are strange creatures. Before the apocalypse, water, although a necessity of life, didn’t hold much importance because it was everywhere and one could get it as long as they wanted.

Now the situation was different. Getting water was equivalent to digging gold and one would be happy with just a sip of water offered to them.

This could also explain the huge smile on the leader’s face.

"Once the water tanks are set up, you leaders can organize the people here and also get soldiers to guard the tanks.

Everyone should have a limited amount of water given to them every day.

I am not sure how long this will last, but it should be fine as long as it goes past the battle with the zombies." Commander Shen instructed as they walked.

The crowd that had gathered due to Chu Miao’s stunt was following behind them.

There were mostly n because even in the base, won and children were in danger of getting kidnapped or sold.

Human nature had beco savage due to the difficulty they experienced in their lives and people have stopped respecting the sanctity of life.

Killing was as normal as drinking water now and it didn’t matter what so people did.

Unfortunately, without the security system to protect the citizens like before, things had beco as primitive as they were in the stone age.

Chu Miao rembered hearing so rumors the day they were in the South of the base helping the residents.

It was said that before the gang that had been robbing and at the sa ti protecting the people there erged, that place was like a den of cri and the leaders didn’t care.

Young girls were captured and raped everyday. In serious cases, bandits who lacked morality would even rape won in front of their children or rape the little girls in front of their fathers.

The leader of the cure gang had been the sa as everyone else. Hiding in his makeshift house with his family and hoping that those criminals wouldn’t touch them.

However, his prayers weren’t answered as expected.

One night as they had just gone to sleep, the door to their house was pried open and several n walked into the small shack.

His house had been one of the decent ones because it was made of plywood.

There were walls and a door. However, this couldn’t stop the bandits.

They forced their way in, took all the saved supplies they had and raped his wife and niece right in front of him.

To make matters worse, they forced him to watch everything they did to his family.

The criminals were so arrogant that they never bothered to hide their identities.

Before leaving, as if to provoke him so more, they stabbed his wife in the chest and left her there bleeding.

His niece was only sixteen and had been ruined. She was so distraught that she lost her mind and had to be taken care of like a small child.

His wife on the other hand wasn’t any better and didn’t want to live saying she was too dirty to live.

The leader was so confused and hurt that he didn’t know what to do. He could only watch his wife bleed to death and his beautiful niece turn into a fool.

He had to personally burn his wife’s body to prevent her from becoming a zombie, sothing she hated.

He blad himself for being cowardly and not fighting back hard enough to stop the tragedy.

However, this incident also buried a seed in his heart. He wanted to beco strong and get revenge for his family.

So, he stopped being timid and started going out to hunt zombies.

His training paid off because he could kill a lot of zombies alone in a short ti.

He also began his revenge mission.

He would hide in the dark and observe the criminals who had hurt his family. Then one by one, he picked them out and killed them.

Moreover, he made sure they suffered a fate worse than death before he finished them off.

Just like that, the criminals who had been terrorizing people before were eliminated.

This made the people in the South have a sigh of relief. But the leader also knew that if there was no protection, another gang of criminals would pop up and begin another round of terror.

So, this made the gang leader decide to recruit people to join him and serve as security for the people in the South of the base.

However, to make sure that the people didn’t take advantage of his crew, he introduced a protection fee and also robbed those who didn’t pay.

However, what he made sure of was that no one was ever hurt or killed because of them.

He had wanted to protect the weak who could not protect themselves, not hurt them the way his family had been hurt.

There were other places in the world where people were facing the sa situation the gang leader’s family had faced.

However, they didn’t have a brave person to stand up and protect the weak.

The biggest problem was that even fathers were sacrificing their children for supplies and husbands would sell their wives.

So safe bases had even established a red district where prostitution had beco a way of survival and young girls as young as fourteen or fifteen could be found on the streets offering sexual services to patrons for a can of beef or a bottle of water.

As these thoughts ran through her mind, Chu Miao was pulled back by the voice of the leader.

"This spot should be perfect for one water tank. How many are you planning to set up?"

Chu Miao looked around and found that they were standing in an open yard where many lofty buildings had been constructed to house soldiers.
