During this time, someone in Gu Pan's neighborhood had put together a team, led by a Taekwondo instructor and a police officer—both skilled in martial arts.
They gathered over twenty young men from the neighborhood to train and scavenge for supplies together; young men from two families on the third floor also joined.
Their initial intent seemed positive—the presence of an organized group meant outsiders were less likely to carelessly cause trouble in the neighborhood.
However, in the past two days, they started collecting food from residents, basically protection fees, which changed the nature of their operation. But in the apocalypse, Gu Pan refrained from judging anyone's way of life.
In her past life when the team was first established and claimed to be working for the good of all, Lu Ruisheng considered joining. But once they found out he was a veteran, they rejected him without much explanation.
