nAfter being rejected, Mu Qing did not get angry. When he heard that she was going to City A, he smiled and said, “Let’s go to City A with you. Actually I thought that City S would not be safe. After all, City A is really the center of the country.”

n

nThe moment he thought about how he could rely on the Gu family to gain a foothold in City A, his heart burned with excitement. After the apocalypse arrived, it occurred to Mu Qing that this chaotic world was the world where he belonged. In times of chaos, unlikely heroes were born. Mu Qing felt that the era that belonged to him was finally coming.

nSu Shanshan glanced at his so-called plan and shook her head. “I don’t care where you’re going, but your plan won’t work. Tomorrow the zombies will be stronger than they are now. Without cars and weapons, you’ll be eaten as soon as you get downstairs. And… your route won’t work either. The highway must be jammed with cars by this time.”

n

n“Young lady, what are you saying? Why are you cursing us?” A middle-aged woman carrying a child said.

n

nSu Shanshan glanced at them and went back to her room without another word.

n

nIn the room, Gu Zhao was still unconscious. Su Shanshan and Fei Lan sat in a corner by themselves, preparing for the night.

n

nIn the middle of the night, the door to Su Shanshan’s room opened suddenly, and a black shadow sneaked in. A faint light came in through the crack of the open door. The person’s face became visible. It was the middle-aged woman who was carrying the child.

n

nHer eyes scanned the room, and when she saw the backpack by the bed, her eyes lit up. She tried to make her fat body less conspicuous as she crept in.

n

nShe was reaching for the backpack when a hand grabbed hers. She looked up and saw that the unconscious man had woken up and was staring at her coldly.

n

nIn the next second, the middle-aged woman screamed from the pain in her wrist. The noise alerted the people outside the room.

n

n“What happened?”

n

nA group of people banged open the door and saw what was happening in the room.

n

nThe middle-aged woman said pitifully, “Please save me. This man is going to kill me.”

n

nUpon hearing this, several young men stood up, wanting to make a move but were deterred by Gu Zhao’s gaze.

n

nSu Shanshan and Fei Lan stopped pretending to be asleep. They had not slept at all, but they did not expect Gu Zhao to be conscious. Su Shanshan stepped forward and kicked the woman away. The middle-aged woman fell to the ground and cried out in pain. She could not get up.

n

n“What are you doing? Are you trying to silence her in front of us?” An angry youth said.

n

nSu Shanshan crouched in front of the woman and grabbed her hand. The woman was holding a knife. If she had not kicked her in time, the knife would have been used on Gu Zhao.

n

n“Why are you in my room? Let me guess what you’re trying to do? Are you trying to steal something or kill us?” Su Shanshan asked coldly.

n

nEveryone reacted to her questions. “Yes, why did she appear in this room in the middle of the night?” they wondered.

n

nThe middle-aged woman was so nervous that she could not speak. The bottle in her hand was wet from her grip.

n

nSu Shanshan moved closer to her, but her eyes were looking in Bai Ran’s direction. “Or will you tell me who sent you?”

n

nThe middle-aged woman’s eyes lit up as she said, “It’s… it’s Bai…”

n

n“Wa, wa, wa, wa, wa…” The middle-aged woman’s child started crying suddenly. Bai Ran took a step forward and said, “The child is probably afraid of missing her mother. Let her coax the child first. Shanshan. After all, she’s the child’s mother. Even if she wants to steal something for the child to eat, don’t mind her.”

n

nThe middle-aged woman looked at Bai Ran gratefully. She got up and carried her child as she walked out. There was a faint red mark at the waist on the back of her clothes. Su Shanshan stopped Fei Lan who wanted an explanation. “She’s just being used by someone. There is no need to argue with her,” she thought.

n

n“Bai Ran… you are indeed a scheming person, just like in your past life.”
