Jian Ruoxi's gaze then fixed on the fruit platter on the table; the fresh fruits seemed exceptionally luxurious in the apocalypse.
She couldn't help but swallow, secretly wondering, 'Are these people living in the same world as me?'
Da Bai Tu caught Jian Ruoxi's gaze and said with a smile, "If you don't mind, try some first. These are all prepared for you."
The woman's appearance clearly showed the effects of prolonged starvation and malnutrition.
Facing this sudden kindness, a warmth welled up in Jian Ruoxi's heart, but it was also mixed with an indescribable complex emotion.
She slowly extended her hand, her fingertips gently touching the vibrant, succulent fruits, and finally couldn't resist devouring them ravenously, not even sparing the peels, tears streaming down her face as if savoring long-lost nectar.
Zuo Feng and the three women quietly waited, allowing the woman to enjoy her meal to her heart's content.
Tears fell, and Jian Ruoxi's heart was filled with mixed emotions; the cruelty of the apocalypse contrasted sharply with the warmth before her.
She picked up the teacup, drank the tea in one gulp, licked her fingers still sticky with fruit juice, took a deep breath, and tried to calm her inner turmoil.
Looking up at Zuo Feng and the three women, she asked, "What do you want to know?"
As a socialite before the apocalypse, Jian Ruoxi, having experienced its baptism, knew that there was no such thing as unprovoked kindness in this world. These people were so good to her, they must have an ulterior motive.
And she also knew that there was nothing about her that was worth their scheming, except for information about the Xingyao Alliance.
Da Bai Tu, without shying away from Jian Ruoxi's presence as an outsider, sat in Zuo Feng's arms and said with a smile, "Don't be nervous, we just want to understand some things about the Xingyao Alliance. Don't worry, we won't harm you."
Jian Ruoxi nodded slightly, just as she had guessed; they wanted to get information from her. As for the Xingyao Alliance, Jian Ruoxi, who had been struggling at the bottom of the alliance, had no sense of belonging, so she immediately said, "What do you want to know about the Xingyao Alliance? I'll tell you everything I know."
At this moment, Da Bai Tu took out ten bags of instant noodles and placed them on the table, then pushed one bag towards Jian Ruoxi, saying with a smile, "All of it!"
A hint of shock flashed in Jian Ruoxi's eyes. In the apocalypse, food was incredibly precious; ten bags of instant noodles could buy her two months' worth of rations. Who exactly were these people?
They were too wealthy. Although the one named Yun Qianqian only handed her one bag, as a socialite, how could she not know that the first bag of instant noodles was their sincerity, and how many of the remaining nine bags she could get depended on how much valuable information she could provide.
A glint of fervor flashed in Jian Ruoxi's eyes. She licked her lips; these ten bags of instant noodles, she was determined to get them!
She took a deep breath and slowly began, "The internal structure of the Xingyao Alliance is very simple. It was formed by three Mutants. Before the apocalypse, one was a property manager, one was a wealthy businessman, and another was a security guard.
The total membership is about 150 people, of whom over 120 are mistresses like me, kept here by others.
The remaining thirty or so are wealthy businessmen, high-ranking officials, and other powerful and influential people from before the apocalypse who also keep mistresses here.
The core resources of the alliance are controlled by those three Mutants, who maintain their rule by controlling food and supplies.
They keep us mistresses confined to entertain them.
The 30-plus people help them manage supplies and maintain order, and of course, the so-called supplies also include us mistresses."
Zuo Feng was dumbfounded upon hearing this. Three men keeping over 120 women? Could they even handle it?
Even kidneys made of iron couldn't withstand that!
However, Zuo Feng felt no sympathy for these women. They were either mistresses or 'the other woman.' They had chosen this lifestyle before the apocalypse, and now they were simply continuing it.
But he didn't dislike them either; one could only say that everyone had their own aspirations.
"Tell us, how strong are the three leaders?"
Da Bai Tu smiled and pushed over two more bags of instant noodles.
Jian Ruoxi took the instant noodles and continued, "The three leaders are all very strong.
The strongest is the security guard, Yuan Bingmo. His eyes can shoot lasers, instantly piercing thick walls.
Next is the wealthy businessman, Lian Fengtian, who can manipulate earth for attack and defense.
The property manager, Ban Jiye, can condense bone spikes from thin air and shoot them as hidden weapons.
They are all very powerful. The zombies in this villa area were cleared by them leading the team."
Da Mi Tao, hearing this, showed a faint hint of disdain in her eyes. The one whose eyes shot lasers seemed a bit powerful, but the other two didn't seem like much. However, Da Mi Tao would never underestimate any opponent.
Da Mi Tao interjected, "How many-bar zombies can they kill?"
At this point, Da Bai Tu smiled and pushed another bag of instant noodles over.
Jian Ruoxi took the instant noodles and replied, "The strongest zombie in this community originally had four bars. The three of them teamed up and spent half a day to kill it. Now, that zombie's corpse is still hanging on the flagpole outside the alliance headquarters."
Hearing this, a hint of a smile flashed in the eyes of Zuo Feng and the three women. Three people teaming up still took half a day to kill a four-bar zombie.
And they even hung it up as a display of their power. This strength, in front of Firefly, was a bit underwhelming!
"What about weapons? What kind of weapons does the Xingyao Alliance have?"
Da Mi Tao smiled and handed over another bag of instant noodles. As for Da Yuanyuan, she sat quietly beside Zuo Feng, listening patiently and learning diligently. She knew that in the future, she would also have to handle situations like this, after all, her codename had a 'Da' in it...
Jian Ruoxi took the instant noodles, carefully arranging the five bags neatly. Her heart couldn't help but stir with excitement; she already had five bags of instant noodles so quickly, these people were truly generous!
Jian Ruoxi cleared her throat and continued, "The Xingyao Alliance's weapons are mainly cold weapons like machetes and electric batons. Oh, right, there's also a compound bow, but the arrows are all handmade, with limited range and not much lethality."
After listening, Zuo Feng and the three women exchanged glances, and they had a good understanding—this alliance, in front of Firefly, was completely outmatched.
However, Zuo Feng and the others currently had no intention of dismantling this alliance.
After all, it wasn't easy to survive in this apocalypse, but the prerequisite was that the Xingyao Alliance should not provoke them first.
As for the Xingyao Alliance asking them to register, it was reasonable. This was someone else's territory, and they naturally had to abide by its rules when they moved in.
"Is there anything else you think is worth noting?" Zuo Feng asked.
Jian Ruoxi pondered for a moment and added, "You are all too good-looking. I suggest that if you're not confident, it's best to leave immediately to avoid unnecessary trouble. The three leaders are all sex-crazed fiends..."
A smile tugged at the corner of Da Mi Tao's lips. She gave Zuo Feng a meaningful look, as if saying, "Da Hundan, you're also a sex-crazed fiend."
Seeing Da Mi Tao's look, Zuo Feng couldn't help but clear his throat, trying to hide his embarrassment.
He would never admit he was lustful. He and Da Bai Tu hadn't even reached the final step yet! How was he a sex-crazed fiend? He was clearly a righteous gentleman.
