nLi Ran arrived at her parents’ house.

nIt was empty and there was nobody.

n

n

n

nThey were still at home when she contacted them last time.

n‘Where are they?’

nShe looked around.

nSuddenly, Li Ran found a note on the table. She knew that it was left for her.

n

n

n My dear daughter, we could not get in contact with you. Lin Nan had picked us up this morning. If you see this note, please try to reach out to us as soon as possible.

nShe heaved a sigh of relief.

nLi Ran turned around and was ready to leave. It seemed that Lin Nan was on the way to rescue her.

nShe had to quickly find a phone so she could contact her parents.

n

n

nAfter getting into her car, she sat on the driver’s seat and thought for a while.

nIt was very likely that she had just missed Lin Nan. Going back to her house to wait for him would not be a good idea. The most important thing was to get in touch.

n‘I need to find a cell phone and make a call!’

nThat was the only way she could get in touch with them.

nLi Ran took out five bottles of water and a few bags of biscuits from the space.

nShe put them under the passenger seat.

n

n

nThen, she drove off.

nShe may be able to find a few people on the road. They most likely would be at places where food and drinks could be found.

nFor example, shopping malls, supermarkets, and so on.

nAfter driving for a short while, Li Ran slowed down her car and started observing her surroundings.

nAlong the way, Li Ran had bumped into countless zombies. It could mean that there were people around the area.

nNot long after that…

nShe saw a group of people on the street.

nAt first, Li Ran was confused. She was not sure if they were humans or zombies. Upon a closer look, they were indeed humans so Li Ran stopped her car.

n

n

nWhen those people saw her, they got very excited.

nA girl went up to her and asked, “Are you from the rescue team?”

nLi Ran answered apologetically.

n“No.”

n“Ah, then where are you planning to go?”

n“I don’t have a destination…”

nLi Ran could not think of a suitable answer, so she made up a story.

nThe girl believed her. A faint smile appeared on her face. Although she looked a little haggard, she was very beautiful.

nHer beauty was completely different from Li Ran’s.

nLi Ran had very sharp and distinct features. She was more of a cool beauty.

n“Then, would you like to wait here with us? Someone from our side has contacted the rescue team. We will be saved soon.”

nWhen Li Ran heard this, her eyes lit up.

n‘That means they have a cell phone, right?’

n

n

n“Is there a communication tool?”

n“Yes, there is.”

nLi Ran looked at the others. It seemed that their mental state was still in a good condition. They were very friendly, smiling at Li Ran from afar.

nShe lowered her guard. If she wanted to borrow a phone, she would definitely need to interact with others.

nLi Ran got out of her car.

n“Hello everyone. May I borrow your phone to make a call?”

nThe girl immediately replied, “Wait a moment. I’ll go over and ask for you.”

nLi Ran thanked her as she walked towards the direction of a house.

n“Sister, where are you from?”

nSuddenly, Li Ran felt that someone was grabbing her pants. She looked down and saw a delicate-looking little boy.

nHe was asking her the question with a serious expression.

nLi Ran squatted down and said with a smile, “I came from my home.”

n“Is it because you ran out of food? Sister, don’t worry. When the rescue team arrives, we’ll all get something to eat!”

nThe little boy said happily. He was smiling with his eyes closed.

nLi Ran’s heart melted. She thought that the little boy was very cute.

nThinking that she would give birth to a child as adorable as him instantly put her in a good mood.

n*grumble*

nIt was coming from the little boy’s stomach.

nThe little boy scratched his head. He looked a little embarrassed and shyly said, “Don’t worry. I’m not that hungry”

nLi Ran could not bear it anymore.

nShe said in a low voice, “Wait a moment,”

nThen, she headed towards her car.

nShe took out a bag of biscuits and a bottle of water from under the passenger seat.

nAfter that, she handed the food and water to the little boy.

nThe little boy looked at Li Ran in surprise.

nAt first, he pushed the food away, saying that he did not want them.

n“Sister, you eat them. I can still endure the hunger.”

n“It’s okay. I’ve already eaten.”

nThe little boy’s eyes could not hide how hungry he actually was. He thanked Li Ran and eagerly opened the bag of biscuits. Then, he stuffed a handful of them into his mouth.

nHe ate very quickly and also gulped down half a bottle of water.
