After one night’s sleep, Su Wan wakes up to find she’s transmigrated into an apocalypse novel—as the vicious side character who starts off by stealing the female lead’s space, cruelly torturing the...
It turned out to be Li Xinhu’s gang.
Their team looked like they had just finished a fight; everyone was covered in dust and their clothes were almost torn into strips.
Li Xinhu stood in the middle of the road, waving at them and signaling them to stop.
"It's Lao Hu and the others. Should we intervene?" Xiao Han looked up and saw them.
Lu Shiyan closed his eyes in the back seat, said nothing, and leaned his head slightly on Su Wan's shoulder.
Su Wan glanced at Li Xinhu's team.
She first saw Sister Hong in the crowd and frowned slightly.
Then, she quickly searched for another thin figure in the crowd, but couldn't find him.
"Where's Xiaomei?"
Her heart skipped a beat and she felt a bad foreboding.
"Stop the car." Su Wan said lightly.
Without saying a word, A'mo nodded and parked the car steadily on the side of the road.
The car window was rolled down, and a smell of dust mixed with the breeze drifted in.
Li Xinhu ran over in two steps, the fatigue and dried blood on his face clearly visible.
Only Sister Hong and the tall man followed him, and there were obviously fewer people in the team.
"Why are you here?" Xiao Han stuck his head out and looked at the three people, "Where are the others?"
Li Xinhu's face instantly fell, and a trace of pain that could not be hidden flashed in his eyes: "On the way to the central base, we encountered a tide of zombies... We... didn't make it."
Su Wan couldn't help but asked directly: "Where's Xiaomei?"
Sister Hong stood behind Li Xinhu, her clothes covered with dark brown blood spots.
When Su Wan mentioned Xiaomei, Sister Hong's gaze obviously avoided in panic, and her lips were subconsciously pursed tightly.
Su Wan saw this subtle panic clearly.
"Xiaomei...I didn't protect her well..." Li Xinhu's voice was a little hoarse. He hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Are you also going to the central base? Can you...give us a ride?"
No one spoke in the car for a moment.
Su Wan glanced at Lu Shiyan's pale face, then glanced at Li Xinhu's expectant eyes, and felt inexplicably irritated.
In the past, she might have been soft-hearted and would have spoken up for him.
But now... things are different now.
"No." She refused first.
Li Xinhu was obviously confused for a moment: "Ms. Su, I know there was a misunderstanding before, but we really have no other choice..."
"Misunderstanding?" Su Wan snorted. "Li Xinhu, let's not talk about why I brought you with me since we just met by chance. Besides, you have a poisonous snake by your side that you can't tame. Isn't it enough that you killed Xiaomei and her husband? Are you going to harm us now?"
Her gaze was fixed on Sister Hong like nails.
Sister Hong raised her head abruptly, her eyes spitting fire: "Who do you call a poisonous snake? You bitch! Who the hell do you think you are? How dare you talk to me like that!"
"Shut up!" Li Xinhu roared, but it was too late.
Su Wan's face turned cold, he opened the car door and walked out.
She walked slowly to Sister Hong and looked at her with her eyes slightly lowered: "It seems that you didn't remember the lesson at all."
Sister Hong was shocked by her appearance and subconsciously took a half step back, but she still refused to give in: "You...what do you want to do? Don't think you are awesome just because you have a broken car and a few broken guns! Xiaomei is dead! Ah Hao is also dead! It's none of my business! Li Xinhu, open your dog eyes and look at this person you are fawning on, she doesn't even treat us as human beings!"
"It has nothing to do with you?" Su Wan asked lightly, but the corners of her mouth opened into a cold smile, "How dare you say that."
Sister Hong's neck stiffened. "In the end times, those who are capable live, and those who are incapable die! You cold-blooded bitch! Aren't you relying on your face to serve this group of men? Just because you have cars, guns, and food, you look down on us who are suffering, right? Li Xinhu, look at this! This is the person you want to curry favor with!"
Li Xinhu's face looked extremely ugly.
But before he could open his mouth, Su Wan had already made his move.
She grabbed Sister Hong's hair and pulled it down hard.
Sister Hong screamed and was forced to bend down.
Su Wan's knee hit her stomach unceremoniously.
"Ah!" Sister Hong groaned in pain, her legs went limp, and she fell to her knees on the ground.
"I told you to watch your mouth." Su Wan let go of her hair, his voice cold.
Sister Hong covered her stomach, her face pale, but she still raised her head unwillingly and glared at Su Wan fiercely: "You... you dare to hit me? Li Xinhu! You just watch me like that? Have you forgotten how my man died? You promised to take care of me!"
Li Xinhu stood there with a complicated expression. He opened his mouth but didn't utter a word.
"Take care of you?" Su Wan sneered, "Li Xinhu, you are really blind. He took advantage of your guilt and fanned the flames everywhere, killing so many people? Ah Hao died, Xiao Mei also died, and now there are only these two people left in your team, can't you see clearly?"
Li Xinhu looked at Sister Hong beside him. His brother Aqiang, who died to save him, was a hurdle in his heart that he could not get over.
This heavy sense of guilt made him agree to almost every request from Sister Hong.
"I..." He was about to speak when Sister Hong suddenly struggled to get up from the ground, her eyes looking almost crazy.
She quickly pulled out a hidden knife from her boots and stabbed it straight at Su Wan!
"Be careful!" Xiao Han shouted in the car.
Su Wan seemed to have eyes on the back of her head and dodged by turning her body to the side.
At the same time, she grabbed Sister Hong's wrist holding the knife and twisted it hard!
“Crack!”
There was a crisp sound of bones breaking, accompanied by Sister Hong's shrill scream.
The knife fell to the ground with a clang.
Her wrist was twisted at a weird angle.
"Do you really think I'm made of clay?" Su Wan shook off her hand and looked at her rolling on the ground in pain. "Li Xinhu, now, do you see clearly? This is the person you have been protecting."
Li Xinhu's face was ashen, and the last bit of hesitation in his eyes disappeared completely.
He walked up to Sister Hong and looked down at her: "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry... I can't go on like this."
Sister Hong raised her head, eyes full of disbelief: "You...you want to abandon me? You promised my man!"
"I promised to take care of you, but I didn't promise to let you go around hurting people in his name."
Li Xinhu's voice was low and deep, but it was filled with an unquestionable firmness. "Ah Hao, Xiao Mei, and the others in the team... I am responsible for their deaths, but you are also responsible!"
Sister Hong's face was distorted: "You are ungrateful! My man died for you!"
"Because he died for me, I can't let you continue to make mistakes." Li Xinhu took a deep breath, "From today on, we will each walk our own way and cross our own single-plank bridge."
Sister Hong was completely dumbfounded, and then burst into a sharp, piercing laugh: "Okay! Okay! Li Xinhu, you will regret this! Every one of you will fucking regret this!"
