Xu Xiang put down the dry twigs and started to light the fire. She turned her back to them, looked left and right. After making sure that no one paid attention to what she was doing, she quickly took out a mini torch and lit the dry twigs. A few seconds later, she quickly put the mini torch back after lit up the dry twigs.
Sitting not far from her, Xiao Han praised her politely. "Miss Xu, you are so skillful. It only takes a few seconds for you to start a fire. Even my eldest brother needs a few minutes to make a bonfire."
"Hahaha… Is that so?" She laughed, but didn't dare to look at Xiao Han directly, since she was not too good at lying.
Seeing that she didn't dare to look at him, Xiao Han raised his eyebrows and didn't speak. He just sat there, quietly observing Xu Xiang.
After gutting the two birds, Xu Xiang skewers them on twigs. She stuck the twigs in the ground, secured it with a few rocks, and washed her hands with water without letting anyone see. After a while, the aroma of grilled meat spread around.
The hungry people around sniffed the air and stared greedily at the birds she was roasting. She ignored them, but broke the smaller roasted bird in half, and handed the other half to Xiao Han.
"Here, for you."
Xiao Han was surprised, and took the roast bird in a daze. Then she took another roasted bird and gave it to Xiao Jing. "Miss Xiao, please enjoy this with your parents."
Blinking her eyes, Xiao Jing looked at the roasted bird on her hand and swallowed. When she came back to her senses, she blushed and said quickly, "No, no, no. We can't accept this."
Turning to look at her younger brother, she said, "Er Lang, quickly return the grilled bird to Miss Xu."
Looking at their expressions, Xu Xiang knew that they were really hungry. Knowing that she couldn't win by talking, she directly put the grilled bird to Xiao Jing's hand, turned around and left.
Xu Xiang sat down under a dead tree not far from the Xiao family's place, and observed the Xiao family while eating her grilled birds. As she took her fourth bite, she watched as they finally divided the grilled bird among them.
'Looking at their speech and behavior, this world still has a high moral standard. I'm really not suitable to live in this kind of world.'
After dinner, she casually went to take the bamboo basket, and lay down not far from the Xiao family. Since there were no other lights except the small bonfire she lit, the people present closed their eyes and went to sleep early. They still have a full day of walking tomorrow and need to recover their energy as much as possible.
Unlike normal people, Xu Xiang doesn't need to eat or sleep too much. Since her regression, she's been working on her body to get ready for the upcoming apocalypse. Lying on the ground, looking up at the clear starry sky, her thoughts wandered.
With nothing to do, she slowly thought about what she would do in the future. Without the burden and responsibility from her family, and without the ambition to become the overlord in the apocalypse world, she suddenly felt that she had lost her purpose in life.
'In my world, it is really rare to see such a clear starry sky. Before the apocalypse, the light pollution was too bad. After the apocalypse, the world changed, and the sky was always covered with thick fog and dust. It's nice to see a night sky like this again.'
Looking at the sky, she felt calm for no reason. Looking back on her life in the apocalypse world, she found that she never had a single peaceful day. All she did was try to survive even only for one more day.
After her regression, she spent all her time exercising, learned all survival skills, accumulated wealth, and hoarded supplies. But in the end, she still died, and there was not even one peaceful day. Now, she has actually obtained the peaceful days she yearned for in her previous life.
'Since there is nothing to do here, maybe it is best to enjoy the peaceful days as much as possible. Perhaps, this is a gift from God to me after going through all kinds of hardships in my two lifetimes. That's right. Since God has given me a chance, let's enjoy it.'
After making her decision, she closed her eyes and slowly fell asleep. In the middle of the silent night, she heard faint footsteps approaching at fast speed. Listening to the footsteps, there are more than a dozen people coming.
Opening her eyes, she turned around and saw that there were only small embers left on the bonfire. Without any light source, it was too dark for her to move around. Realizing that no one was awake but herself, she took out one night vision glasses from her space.
Putting on the night vision glasses, she pressed the button and turned it on. Through the glasses, she could see her surroundings clearly. In front of her eyes, several icons and a small map appeared. With the advanced technology from her original world, these light-weight night vision glasses are more powerful than any supercomputer.
With the help of night vision glasses, she detected those people's location before hiding behind a dead tree and waited. She wanted to see who those people were and what they wanted. After waiting for a few minutes, more than a dozen men in black came over. They covered their faces with black cloths so that only their eyes could be seen. Just by looking at them, she knew they had bad intentions.
Xu Xiang saw that each of them was holding a longsword in their hands. Their purpose is clearly to kill. But who? Everyone here is an exile prisoner. Maybe some of them, even after being exiled, have enemies who won't let them go? Since fighting makes noise, she pulls out a tranquilizer gun.
