"No need. I'm used to being alone. Having someone with me just gets in the way.
Besides, I'm just going to check out the situation this time. If I need anything, I'll come to you," Paige said, rejecting the offer.
"Alright. If you need anything and want the team to help, just come to me.
From now on, I'm your direct superior anyway." Paige already came straight to him whenever something came up, so naturally she was now under his command.
Because of this, Commander Ye almost got into a fight.
Paige's skills were obvious to everyone.
Having more capable people under you means fewer problems.
She had just joined and was already about to help solve a major problem.
After leaving Commander Ye, Paige noticed that the sun was already high in the sky.
She thought it had been a while since she'd gone out for a meal, so she went to a restaurant and had a big meal.
It wasn't the same place she had gone to before.
The food really wasn't as good.
Paige finished everything on the table, sticking to her clean plate routine.
Then, with a hint of dislike, she walked out of the restaurant.
She decided not to come back there again. The food at home made by the cook was better.
After eating and drinking, Paige strolled out of the city gates slowly.
She wandered here and there like a second-rate zombie from her past life.
Sometimes, when she spotted some wild vegetables or herbs, she would send them straight into her space.
As long as her spiritual energy could cover something, she could teleport it into her space without digging it up.
Inside the space, her little grassland was already taking shape. Now she just needed some cows and sheep to move in.
At the same time, Paige also spotted PN Soldiers hiding by the roadside.
They were professional, hiding in the snow despite the cold.
A notice had been put out in the city. Too many people had gone missing recently, so most city residents weren't coming out.
Except for people like her.
To her, those PN Soldiers were too obvious.
Snatching everyone who came out? Anyone could tell something was off.
The PN Official said he had no choice.
Those people were just visiting relatives. But once those relatives went missing, the visitors would spread the news around when they returned to the city.
They were capturing people to hide the brutal truth.
Since she had seen the PN Soldiers, Paige didn't need to look for the road herself anymore.
She pretended to pause and turn around to go home, and the PN Soldiers jumped out of the snow pile and surrounded her.
They screamed and circled her, ready to take her to their temporary base.
It had been a strange day. They'd been lying in wait the whole time, and not a single person had come by.
Finally, someone had shown up, and it was a Female Decoy, so they weren't letting her go.
They agreed to end the day early. None of them wanted to freeze out there any longer.
Paige pretended to be scared and shrank her neck, reluctantly following the PN Soldiers.
As the town around her grew more and more deserted, Paige fell silent.
These PN Soldiers were messed up.
Most people took over towns to enjoy the liveliness and prosperity inside.
But the PN captured everyone and sat in an empty town playing a twisted game of tag.
Not everyone in the town had been taken.
Altogether, just a few hundred people lived in the clustered houses. Judging by the blood on the ground and the walls, most of them had already been killed.
Paige kept walking, observing everything.
In her heart, she was already thinking about how to tear those PN Soldiers apart to vent her anger.
In the post-apocalyptic world, women and children, vulnerable groups, were always given special protection.
But seeing that there were almost none of those two types of people in the prison, their fates were easy to guess.
Especially since the remaining women didn't end up very well.
No one could say for sure whether it was good or bad that they were still alive.
For Paige, staying alive was definitely better than anything else.
But for women in that time period, surviving after going through such terrible things really took an incredible amount of courage.
The PN Soldiers were nearly drooling with excitement when they saw Paige.
These past few days, there hadn't been any women showing up, so they had no fresh supply.
When they saw Paige, they hadn't even returned to their temporary base yet and already started pushing and shoving.
Everyone wanted to go first, and nobody wanted to back down.
After some rest, Paige looked a lot fairer now.
She wasn't ugly to begin with. After taking care of her skin, she looked like a delicate beauty.
To the PN Soldiers, who saw even a pig as beautiful, Paige was obviously top quality.
They chatted noisily the whole way.
In the end, they decided not to bring her back, afraid the officer would see her and take her away.
Then they wouldn't even get a taste of the leftovers.
They directly pushed Paige into an empty room and hurriedly started unbuckling their belts.
Paige's eyes flashed coldly. It was time to hunt.
Because she had always acted timid and afraid, not even daring to scream, no one had bothered to tie her up.
Except for the few taking off their pants, the others were just watching from the side.
A flash of light appeared in Paige's hands, and two long blades showed up in her palms.
In her past life, she had used long blades to chop off countless zombie heads.
Paige swung her arm, and before the man in front of her could react, she dashed forward. One after another, everyone in the room fell to the ground with a thud.
It was only then that they realized their third legs had been cut off.
Looking at the three fallen "parts" beside them, the PN Soldiers screamed in agony.
They stared at Paige in terror, and at the clean long blades in her hands, then desperately tried to crawl out of the room.
They didn't even bother to pick up their legs.
Who knew if someone came to collect the bodies later if they could even tell whose leg belonged to who?
Because Paige was a war fanatic, her weapons wore out very quickly.
So her storage space had a whole row of spare weapons.
These long blades were strong enough to cut through high-level zombie skulls.
When forged, rare materials were added to make the blades both sharper and more flexible.
Now, using them on PN Soldiers was as easy as slicing melons.
Watching the ten or so PN Soldiers crawl with both hands, leaving a long trail of blood behind them, awakened Paige's battle instincts completely.
What's so great about using psychic powers? Nothing beats real blades and real fighting.
The feeling of cutting flesh with these blades was just amazing.
Paige, holding her long blades, followed behind the crawling PN Soldiers like a madwoman.
Each man looked like a lump of meat crawling forward, leaving a thick blood trail behind.
If one of them slowed down due to exhaustion, Paige would slash them a few times from behind.
Pain helped push them to crawl faster.
Isn't it like how people whip horses to make them run faster?
Paige had never ridden a horse, but the idea seemed the same.
The horrible screams of the ten or so PN Soldiers eventually attracted the attention of their comrades.
Soon, another group of ten or so soldiers arrived, all carrying guns.
They were all so shocked by what they saw that they couldn't even speak.
