Jiang Nian'an couldn't help but smile as she watched Shen Nanxing's unusually childlike behavior and reached out to hug his arm.

Shen Nanxing looked at Jiang Nian'an, who was nestled on his arm, turned his head and gently rubbed his head against her head, his expression softening unconsciously.

After the two bucket-wiping duo realized that the terrifying gaze that had been staring at them was gone, they quickened their pace.

All they wanted was to get rid of Shen Nanxing, this demon god who would draw his sword at the slightest provocation, as quickly as possible.

In less than five minutes, the two of them had cleaned the bucket spotless.

Jiang Nian'an was very satisfied. She put the bucket away and then gave each of them a small bag of compressed biscuits.

"You did a good job, here's your pay."

Then he pulled Shen Nan out of the lounge.

The people who were resting near the gas station have disappeared.

On the opposite side of the road, only a few bonfires, still smoldering, remained, used to scare away mutated plants and insects.

Jiang Nian'an didn't think much of it and quickly walked to the car. She saw that Xiao Yin and Da Wang had already returned from foraging for food.

"Brother Chen, let's keep going."

Now that her stiff body had fully warmed up, Jiang Nian'an no longer wanted to stay in this desolate place.

"good!"

Shen Nanxing had no objections whatsoever.

After refueling the car, we continued driving towards T city.

The car-washing duo remained huddled by the door.

After seeing Jiang Nian'an and Shen Nanxing leave, the two couldn't help but sigh deeply.

One has explosive combat power, and the other has spatial abilities—what a winning combination!

They really want to join!

"Gao Yuan, Zhao Qin, what did they just give you? Let me see it!"

Finally recovering, Zhang Lin propped himself up on the broken sofa and sat up. Looking at his right hand, which was being tightly gripped by Gao Yuan and the other man, a greedy glint flashed in his eyes.

Upon hearing this, Gao Yuan and Zhao Qin exchanged a glance, and then, with perfect understanding, rushed out of the lounge at the same time.

Zhang Lin always speaks sweet words, but whatever he wants to see, he ends up taking it for himself.

Hmph, these two cookies were earned through their own labor, they won't give them to Zhang Lin!

Most importantly, those three barrels of gasoline were something another, slightly stronger squad had specifically requested.

They said they would come to pick it up in the afternoon, and if the delivery went smoothly, they would leave a box of instant noodles as a reward.

However, if there is any loss, not only will there be no compensation, but the waste will also be used to refine oil to make up for the loss.

Now it's not just a loss, it's three whole barrels of gasoline gone.

So what are we waiting for? We have to run!

Seeing Gao Yuan and Zhao Qin suddenly run away, Zhang Lin was first stunned, then flew into a rage.

Just as I was about to unleash a torrent of curses, I suddenly remembered the transaction from that afternoon.

"Damn, I'm so confused from being beaten that I almost forgot about the deal this afternoon, ouch—"

In his excitement, Zhang Lin forgot about the wound on his back and slapped his thigh hard.

His body trembled from the movement, and then the wound on his back twitched, causing him to howl in pain for a long time.

After regaining his composure, Zhang Lin hurriedly told the others who were still lying on the ground groaning, "Stop groaning! Let's get going! The group that wants gasoline is coming soon!"

His reminder made the others realize what was happening, and they quickly scrambled to their feet.

Even the two injured men endured the intense pain and got up from the ground.

Their injuries weren't fatal, but staying there would be mortal danger.

The six people quickly helped each other up and ran away.

Half an hour later.

Shen Nanxing and Jiang Nian'an were blocked by a long line of cars and people.

The two couldn't help but frown, opened the door, and got out of the car to check the situation.

After walking for a while, we discovered that there was a lake in front of us.

It is high on all sides and low in the middle, with a distance of more than 200 meters from this side of the lake to the opposite shore.

The bridge that originally connected the two ends broke in the middle for some unknown reason, and the remaining part was also teetering on the brink of collapse.

In short, we can't leave.

As a result, all survivors who wanted to enter or pass through T City were stopped.

Jiang Nian'an looked at the broken bridge, then at the long queue that had been blocked in, and a look of confusion flashed in her eyes.

There's definitely more than one way to get to T City, so why waste time hesitating here?

However, despite the confusion...

Being cautious, and just in case, she pulled Shen Nanxing aside and asked the other survivors in line about the situation.

He also expressed his doubts.

After asking the question, Jiang Nian'an suddenly realized what was going on.

Besides this road, there are indeed other routes to enter T City.

But some survivors have already put it into practice with their lives.

Those roads were either steep, or mountain trails where you never knew what dangers might lurk.

Either the path has been overrun by mutated creatures and is impassable.

The danger level was far too high for the survivors.

That's why they chose to stay here, waiting for the people from the T City base to come up with a solution from across the lake.
