After rebirth in the end of the world, I cut off all love and hoarded goods desperately

Chen Zhizhi was so startled that the pen in her hand fell onto the table and then rolled to the ground. A small hand reached out and picked up the pen from the ground.

Chen Zhizhi looked at the gun in front of her, immediately left her seat, squatted down, and hugged her son in her arms.

She said with panic on her face: "I am the boss here. I can give you anything you want, as long as you don't hurt me and my son."

Li Ke's eyes swept over them. The child had pale skin and one leg was obviously smaller than the other. He was curled up in Chen Zhizhi's arms, looking at her curiously with a pair of clear eyes.

The floor was covered with thick carpet. Li Ke locked the door behind him, found a place to sit in the reception area next to it, and pointed at Chen Zhizhi with his gun, motioning her to come over and sit with the child.

Chen Zhizhi looked in good condition. Apart from the loose facial lines, she was still a beautiful woman. Li Ke thought that she was only in her thirties and was actually aging quickly.

Chen Zhizhi took the child and sat down carefully at the farthest place away from Li Ke. She didn't dare to speak. She just looked up at Li Ke and immediately lowered her head.

"How much do you know about Dr. Cheng here?" Li Ke asked slowly.

Chen Zhizhi then realized that the person in front of her seemed to be a woman. She raised her eyes again and then said, "Dr. Cheng is the manager here. All transactions here are under his control. External material transactions and information contacts can only be done by him. Here, if you want to survive and have food, you have to listen to them."

Li Ke: "How did you get here? Weren't you in the shelter in City N before?"

Chen Zhizhi was startled when she heard that, and raised her head to look at Li Ke again, but after meeting Li Ke's sharp eyes, she immediately avoided his gaze as if she couldn't bear it anymore.

The child in her arms was a little impatient and wanted to go down to play by himself. Chen Zhizhi patted him gently, hugged him tighter, and said, "We were originally there, but then there was a flood, the food supply in the shelter was insufficient, and the leadership was a little confused. When the shelter was torn apart, our family also left. Later, we met Dr. Cheng's men, followed them on a boat out to sea, and came here to make a living."

"What is Dr. Cheng doing collecting those dead bodies recently? Who are they trading with regarding the material transactions you mentioned? Can the people here leave freely?" Li Ke asked again.

Chen Zhizhi shook her head: "I don't know what they want to do with those bodies. Every two to three months, a few cargo ships come here, and they are all received by the guards on this island. After a long time, we guessed that they were foreign material ships. There are two oil mines on this island, and I think they use this for trading.

After becoming a resident of the island, you can bring people in, but you can no longer leave. You can go out to sea to fish, but there are control ranges and times. There are also defense missiles on the island, and no one dares to disobey.

However, after obtaining residency here, few people want to leave because they cannot find another place to live if they leave.

Every time we go out on the ship, there is an inspection. The fuel and daily necessities on board are only enough for the people on board to survive for three days at most. In three days, they can’t even cover one-sixth of this sea area.”

Li Ke looked at Chen Zhizhi and said, "It looks like you're having a good life."

Chen Zhizhi was stunned for a moment, and then she relaxed a little: "Do you know me?"

She looked at the slender woman in front of her wearing a leather mask for a while, and seemed to have a vague sense of familiarity. Memories flew through her mind, trying to find someone who matched her.

Li Ke didn't care what Chen Zhizhi thought, and just continued to ask her: "Is there any news recently? For example, what happened to those corpses? Is there any change at sea?"

Chen Zhizhi shook her head honestly: "Everyone on the island lives a life isolated from the outside world. They really don't know what is happening outside. The only people who can leave here freely and have contact with the outside world are Dr. Cheng's people."

Li Ke asked Chen Zhizhi for the address of Dr. Cheng's base camp. From her description, this place was easy to find. It was the most unique building here, a semicircular building.

Li Ke had tried to send a message here before, but she couldn't find any signal, so the message failed. She also tried to locate the location here, but failed.

I asked Chen Zhizhi, but she didn't know either and told me to get everything from Dr. Cheng.

Dr. Cheng controls the energy and food here, as well as all external contacts and transactions. Everyone on the island depends on him for their survival.

He also opened two food processing factories on the island. Through special processing methods, they can minimize the toxicity of those fish and produce them into edible canned food.

The only crop research base on the island was also built by them. The output is average, but it can still be supplied to some privileged classes.

Chen Zhizhi looked at the woman opposite her who was silent and seemed to be thinking about something. She boldly called out, "Li Ke?"

Li Ke looked up at her without saying anything, but Chen Zhizhi's eyes seemed to flash with surprise. She said happily, "Is it really you? You have changed so much. I just thought about everyone I know, but I still think you are the only one who has become so amazing."

Li Ke looked at Chen Zhizhi's performance and said with a half-smile: "What are you so happy about? We don't have a good relationship."

Chen Zhizhi was speechless for a moment. So much time had passed that she had almost forgotten many things from the past.

The person in front of her had obviously acknowledged her identity. Chen Zhizhi looked at the pistol that was loosely hooked by her fingers. She couldn't play the emotional card, so she could only deal with it more carefully.

Chen Zhizhi said with an apologetic look on her face: "I was wrong before. I was too immature and had a bad temper. Now when I think about it, I didn't know I could be so bad before.

Li Ke, I don't ask for your forgiveness, I just want you to give me a way out. It's not easy for me to make a living as a woman with a child. After becoming a mother, I realized my previous mistakes.

I don't know how you got here. Although I don't know much, no matter what you want to do, as long as you ask, I will cooperate.

My child has some problems with his legs and feet, and he can't speak yet. He can't live without me as his mother."

Chen Zhizhi's words sounded pitiful, but Li Ke didn't completely believe her. Her child did have problems, but how could it be easy for a woman like her to open her own bar on an island ruled by a dictator?

Moreover, all kinds of things are available in just one office space, and touch protection measures are taken for children in all corners. Li Ke doesn't believe that Chen Zhizhi is as naive as she says.

Li Ke sat up straight and picked up a copper cup with a narrow neck on the table. With a squeeze of her hand, the cup changed shape in her hand, and then was slowly covered by her entire palm. When it was thrown out, it had turned into a small copper ball.

The child in Chen Zhizhi's arms was very interested in this scene. When the copper ball fell on the carpet, he struggled hard to grab the copper ball.

Chen Zhizhi was shocked by Li Ke's move and loosened her grip for a moment. The child slipped out of her arms and crawled to the ground. The child, who was seven or eight years old, looked as thin as a four or five-year-old.

Seeing this, Li Ke asked uncertainly: "Is this child the one from the Zuo family? Or is this your new child?"

Chen Zhizhi felt her throat was a little dry. When she heard Li Ke's question, she came back to her senses and said, "It's Zuo Hui's son. His name is Zuo Rui. I only have this one child. He is a little weak, so he grows up slowly."

It seems that the protection of the Zuo family didn't play a big role at the beginning, Li Ke thought to herself, and retracted her thoughts. She spoke again in a cold voice: "I don't believe that you only know this? I want to use the communication equipment here, and I also want to know the recent major events outside. I think you should have a way. I have no feelings for you. If you are of no use, I will send you and the child on the road together, and I will not let you separate."
