Glancing at the women in the room, Shen Jinzhe continued, "The scent of blood is deadly in the apocalypse. If they are not protected in a base or survivor camp, how likely are they to survive out there?"
He paused for a moment before he added, "Aside from the environmental dangers, they still face cruelty from stronger groups. You have seen how many women have been humiliated and killed."
"Some might get lucky and be saved by others. But how many more never had that chance and died without even being able to fight back?"
"That's why I don't hold out hope for finding a girlfriend, let alone getting married. If I can just find my family and survive this apocalypse, that's enough."
When he finished, the room fell into a heavy silence.
Everyone knew he was right, but the truth still stung. Human race, once at the top of the food chain, had fallen to the bottom of the pyramid. In the face of desperation, many had abandoned their humanity and become beasts that killed their own race.
