"I didn't," her voice was muffled, as if she had suffered a blow.
Xu An wore a look of disgust, sighed, and came to a new conclusion.
"Women, after all, can only rely on themselves."
"That corpse poison agent you mentioned earlier, did you find any traces of it in this team?"
"You suspect that doctor?"
"It's not my suspicion, it's that he's the most likely. Have you forgotten what kind of research he's doing? Human gene engineering. Isn't this a case of the biggest convenience?"
"I didn't detect anything wrong with him anyway."
After thinking for a long time without any clues, she decided not to think about it anymore and just sleep. They would talk about anything tomorrow.
The night passed without incident.
Xu An got up in the morning, first made herself a packet of small wontons, and then reheated a basket of small steamed buns. kanδん
These wontons were still made by her mother, thin-skinned and with a large filling, bursting with oil when you took a bite.
"So fragrant~"
Listening to Xu An eating, Ze Yuan suddenly felt like tasting what that bowl of small wontons was like.
But it was just a tree now, and a tree couldn't eat.
After eating and drinking, it was naturally time to set off to find Lin Zhuoran and the others.
She threw away all the clothes from yesterday. Fortunately, before the apocalypse, she had the foresight to buy countless identical sets of clothes. She found a slightly old outfit from the wardrobe and put it on without any sense of incongruity.
Xu An smeared some of the dirt on the ground onto her face, creating a disheveled appearance.
Feeling that it was almost enough, she had Ze Yuan check the situation outside before coming out of the space.
This space was good in every way, except that she couldn't leave from a designated spot.
She had to come out from where she went in.
As soon as she came out, Xu An saw the group of zombies that had been chasing her yesterday still lingering nearby, wandering aimlessly.
Unlike ordinary zombies, they did not seem to actively attack humans. When they saw Xu An, their clear black and white pupils only swept over her blankly before continuing to circle in place.
Xu An naturally noticed the peculiarity of this group of zombies.
She could only wait to catch the mastermind to find out the truth of all this.
Xu An slipped into the dense fog and walked in the direction Ze Yuan pointed.
...
To drive safely in the foggy weather, Zhang Bo and the others turned on all the headlights, and even used extra high-powered flashlights to illuminate the sides of the road.
They traveled without incident and were getting closer to their destination.
Wang Zhao and Liu Fei's eyes were always on Lin Zhuoran, Yu Qin's curse still echoing in their ears.
Even though that woman was already dead in their hands, the lingering fear made them uneasy.
Wang Zhao hated being threatened his entire life.
Whether it was him or Liu Fei.
Whether it was eating people or missing the opportunity to push Lin Zhuoran's sister into a horde of zombies, it was enough to disrupt the peaceful lives of both of them.
They had already endured until today, and they wouldn't fall into the hands of that bitch Yu Qin.
So on the surface they agreed to cooperate with Yu Qin. When Yu Qin actually placed the item on Xu An, they hardened their hearts and killed Yu Qin.
At that time, they were hidden in the fog, thinking that as long as Lin Zhuoran didn't abandon Xu An and stayed with her, Lin Zhuoran would also die sooner or later.
They didn't expect this woman to abandon her friend so decisively.
Liu Fei sneered, "You think too highly of Lin Zhuoran. You always called her captain, and you really treated her as a captain. In a life-or-death situation, it's still every man for himself."
Wang Zhao remained noncommittal. Although he felt that the matter was not that simple, the fact was that Lin Zhuoran had abandoned Xu An and chose to survive.
"What's wrong with that?" Wang Zhao had a bloodthirsty smile. "This way, we can legitimately kill Lin Zhuoran, blame Yu Qin for her death when we get back, and seize the supplies they left behind."
The two of them were hatching a grand plan, even fantasizing about how they could kill Lin Zhuoran in a deserted place, and perhaps taste that wonderful flavor again.
Zhou Haimei closed her eyes. She had always been sensitive, and Wang Zhao and Liu Fei's gazes were too intense, making even her feel uncomfortable.
But Lin Zhuoran could still sleep. She didn't know if this person was brave or what.
She nudged Lin Zhuoran subtly with her elbow, taking advantage of the blind spot of everyone's vision. "I feel like your two teammates are looking at you like they want to eat you."
Lin Zhuoran narrowed her eyes. "Don't act rashly. Let's see what they want to do."
Zhou Haimei also understood Lin Zhuoran's thoughts. It seemed she wanted to bait them, so she went along with her.
But just as everyone was dozing off, trouble arose again. Faint cries for help came from the back of the carriage.
Each cry was weaker than the last, almost inaudible if not listened to carefully.
"Help, help!"
Zhou Haimei couldn't help but open her eyes. "Did you hear someone calling for help?"
The voice sounded familiar, but Zhou Haimei couldn't remember who it was.
Lin Zhuoran, who had been pretending to sleep with her eyes closed, immediately opened them tightly upon hearing these faint cries.
"This is... Yu Qin's cry for help!"
Her words, almost certain, made the expressions of the two men opposite her change drastically.
"Sisters, are you perhaps muddle-headed from sleeping? Where is anyone calling for help? Don't mishear."
As he spoke, his body involuntarily moved towards the carriage door, trying to block their view.
But due to the fog, the vehicle was already traveling slowly, and the rear seats were open. The behavior of covering their ears to deceive themselves not only served no purpose but also made people more suspicious of their actions.
Zhou Haimei was not polite at all, and with a cold face, she sternly shouted, "Move aside!"
Lin Zhuoran also looked at them with burning eyes, but the coldness in her eyes was chilling.
The two knew they couldn't avoid it. Although they were annoyed that Yu Qin, that bitch, wasn't dead.
But if they let her pass now and Yu Qin really got on, wouldn't their previous actions be exposed?
Thinking of this, the two exchanged glances and made up their minds.
"Sister Zhuoran, don't you want to know why those zombies are chasing your friend?"
"Yes, we're blocking you to help you. You don't want murderers to be rescued time and time again, do you?"
Although Lin Zhuoran had a premonition in her heart, hearing her former teammates personally admit that Xu An was being chased by zombies was Yu Qin's doing, her heart skipped a beat.
But she felt that the matter was not simple. Yu Qin, alive now, was more valuable than dead.
Lin Zhuoran said in a deep voice, her face frosty.
"I said, move aside!"
