Almost everyone thought that the woman they picked up would be a middle-aged worn out woman. Leaving aside her messy and putrid-smelling body, her initial voice was as hoarse as a crow when she first spoke. Also, her walking posture was rigid and unnatural at the very beginning, walking slowly as if she was an old woman. There was no indication that she was actually relatively young at all!
These days, ‘wild’ women were considered to be almost extinct as most of the young women of the right age to bear children were protected in the official survivor bases. Survivor groups like them, who wandered outside the official bases and were unwilling to join any forces, were not likely to meet a woman naturally, in fact, all of them had not seen a living woman in months!
When the end of the world suddenly came overnight without warning, the mysterious virus that spread through the air infected half of the human population in the world. The ones who survived the first wave of infection had their will to live destroyed, and so, these people were the first ones to be purged, together with the people who lacked physical strength. Most were eaten alive by the walking corpses quickly.
All humans who were injured by zombies would not survive more than 24 hours, and the mortality rate was 100% because the possibility of being cured was zero.
Women are generally weaker in physical fitness and strength as compared to men, so naturally, the first wave of infected people were women. In addition to this, the mainstream aesthetics of men in the patriarchal society still remained in their hearts, and though they appreciated independent and strong women, deep down, most of them still preferred soft and weak women that would rely on them, hence fulfilling their masculinity ego.
Even those who insisted on maintaining their physique and survived the initial infection were not able to do so as the apocalyptic days went on when pure physical force was required to survive in the new world.
This came as a cultural shock to most modern women, and they had since then cultivated the need to rely on men. But honestly speaking, the one who instilled the idea that women relying on men would survive better in the new world was a cruel man indeed. This was the kind of thinking, no matter in terms of physiology or psychology, that would not set women at the same height as men, and this denied all possibilities of women ever standing beside a man as equals.
Because, how could these women, who now fundamentally think that they are weaker than men, be able to survive on their own strengths in this chaotic world? Also, in addition to the threats from zombies, there were also threats to women of their own kind. That was to be expected because ever since the start of human history, hopelessness would always bring out the ugliest side of human nature.
Homicide would not be eliminated just because of the mere crisis of human beings’ survivability.
It had been a year since the apocalypse happened, and half a year ago, the surviving humans seemed to have obtained various supernatural abilities that wouldn’t have been explainable by existing scientific knowledge. However, those who had survived the first half of the year were all survivors of a bloody storm, and they more or less suffered from psychological problems. Under such a distorted state of mind and the pressure of basic survivability, the occasional burst of madness was more frequent than one would imagine.
This issue also directly led to another reduction in the female population. After all, venting their sexual desires was one of the best ways to relieve stress, especially for those survivors whose hearts had turned numb and regarded the lives of others as mere ants. All they wanted to do was to indulge in carnal desires and live comfortably in the present day, especially when they did not know if they would even survive the next day at all. It was common for the strong to rob the weak, what’s more, even if the female survivors were individually strong, they were incapable of resisting the male survivors who were overwhelmingly superior in numbers and strength, and this, unfortunately, caused a new wave of tragedy for the female population.
It was only until the official major bases were established and formed to a certain scale that the forces had time to pay attention to the problems of human reproduction. And to their horror, they finally realized that the few remaining surviving women should be protected intensively, otherwise the future of mankind would be nothing but bleak.
The sexual desires of young men were highly vigorous, as they had the energy to do it again and again throughout the whole night if they had enough endurance. And the men in the survivor group were all men in their prime ages with the same physical desires as everyone else. In the past, when the men were not able to have their sexual frustrations relieved, and were under the pressure and anxiety of basic survivability, they had resorted to killing zombies to vent in order to consume their energy entirely.
But now that there was a live and fragrant beauty in the team, the rationality and self-control that these men were so proud of, were instantly flushed down the drain as none could control the physiological reaction of their bodies that were naturally created to be attracted to the opposite sex.
At this moment, though Gu MingYue felt that she had experienced far too many battles in her life, her sense of shame and moral integrity hit a new low ever since she started on her missions, and she could not help but feel somewhat shy and embarrassed when she noticed the bulges in the men’s lower bodies.
Whew! That was a LOT of world-building OwO
Enjoy!!!
