nLi Ran saw the two people approaching her car. She could not figure out who they were.

nNeither of them moved. Li Ran had hidden a gun in the car and she was ready to defend herself.

n

n

nThe man walked in front of the car and greeted her through the windshield. His white teeth made his complexion look gray. Even so, he was a good-looking man.

nLi Ran smiled and waved at him.

nShe had completely forgotten about the roadblock.

nWhen the woman saw Li Ran, she let out a sigh of relief. Her worries completely disappeared.

n

n

nIf Li Ran had been a man, she and Gu Jin might not be able to handle any unforeseen events.

nGu Jin walked towards the door and knocked on the car’s window. Li Ran rolled down about one-third of the window.

nHe said eagerly, “Is this your car? It’s so cool! I’m really interested in cars but in our current situation, there was no way for me to buy one.”

nUpon hearing that, Li Ran smiled bitterly and said, “So you set up a roadblock in the middle of the road to rob other people’s cars?”

n

n

n“No, no, that’s not what I meant. We are all human beings. How could we harm one of our own at a time like this? I had no choice. Quite a number of cars had passed by this place. We tried to stop them but to no avail.”

nThe woman added angrily, “That’s right. Those people are so cold-blooded. They just sped through and almost killed me!”

nAfter saying that, she glared at Gu Jin.

nGu Jin scratched his head and said helplessly, “I underestimated how evil people can be. Luckily, I managed to pull you away. I saved your life, didn’t I?”

nHe rubbed the woman’s shoulder in an attempt to comfort her.

nLi Ran understood that she had scared the woman. Otherwise, she would not have reacted so significantly. However, she needed to get going. She bluntly said, “I still have things to do. Later, you might…”

n

n

nObviously, they understood the meaning behind her words.

nThe woman looked at Li Ran with a troubled expression and begged bitterly, “Can’t you take us with you? We’ve been stuck here for half a month. It’s the middle of nowhere. Sooner or later, we’ll starve to death!”

n“I’m sorry…”

nEver since she met Cui Chong, Li Ran had become very skeptical towards other people. She was not willing to take any risks.

nHer indifferent attitude made the atmosphere tense and awkward.

nGu Jin could barely keep up his cheery expression.

nHe tried to persuade Li Ran again, “Wouldn’t it be good to have company? We can watch each other’s back.”

nHowever, Li Ran was not convinced at all. She tried her best to maintain her indifferent attitude.

n

n

nAt the back of her mind, she was worried that she would cave in.

n“This place is not too far from the city. It’s within walking distance.”

nThe woman replied with a distressed face, “We want to, but we are defenseless. If more than one zombie attacks us, it will be the end!”

n“Madam, please take pity on us. She is Zhao Ying and I’m Gu Jin. Before the apocalypse, we were celebrities. We starred in a popular TV series. Do you recognize us?”

nGu Jin tried to wipe his face but his hands were dirty. He rushed into the house and took out half a bottle of mineral water. Then, he carefully poured out a little bit of water onto his hand and rubbed it against his face, revealing his fair skin.

nLi Ran did indeed recognize him. No wonder he looked so familiar.

nSeeing Li Ran’s expression, Zhao Ying was thrilled. Gu Jin was still washing his face with the very little amount of water they had left. So, she quickly stopped him.

n“This is for drinking! Stop wasting it!”

nGu Jin seemed very dissatisfied.

n“I haven’t washed my face for more than half a month. If she could help us, then it’s worth it!”
