Chapter 5 Chapter 5 Relationship

From the scream just now, it was clear without asking that Jiang Xi had encountered something horrible.

However, if the zombie corpse that was shot in the head and then hit by bullets continuously was not still lying on the ground, perhaps the suspicious risk factors would not be just the crisis that can be seen at a glance in this world.

"Let's go."

In the end, it was because he didn't check carefully that Jiang Xi was scared and almost got into trouble. Xiao Liang couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

However, he would only keep this guilt in his heart and try to find a way to make it up to Jiang Xi later. He was not good at expressing himself.

Unfortunately, someone wanted to interfere and demanded immediate payment.

"Why don't you protect her?"

Behind them, a deliberately shouting voice, full of mockery and ridicule as if afraid they couldn't hear, showed its intention to stir up trouble.

Lu Suye turned the personal pistol and put it back on his waist. The muscles of his crossed arms tightened the cuffs. His slightly wheat-colored skin and bulging veins were full of symbols of masculine power.

Seeing the two of them turned around again because of his words, Lu Suye's sharp and hostile gaze slowly turned to the stunned Jiang Xi.

When he looked at Jiang Xi, he was looking at her with naked, aggressive possessiveness and passion.

Such a familiar gaze, rekindled as if focused on Jiang Qian, made her heart skip a beat.

This was the gaze from a man that she once hated the most, but in the past two days, after being stared at by Xiao Liang countless times in such cold, ruthless and heartless ways, this sticky and longing gaze actually brought her a long-lost sense of morbid peace of mind.

Maybe I am sick?

As if she was afraid that her thoughts would be discovered, Jiang Qian didn't dare to look into Lu Suye's eyes. She just stayed quietly beside Xiao Liang, who was her strongest support in this doomsday.

"If I hadn't been here today, you might—?"

Although Jiang Xi avoided his gaze, Lu Suye did not intend to let her go easily and continued to speak aggressively.

"What do you want?"

Before Lu Suye could finish speaking, Xiao Liang simply interrupted him.

After all, he had lived in the apocalypse for such a long time, so he knew as soon as he heard the man in front of him, who was dressed like an ordinary mercenary, was a profit-seeking speculator.

He is usually the type of person who will never suffer any loss, not to mention that he did Jiang Xi a huge favor and saved her life.

Therefore, this person will not give up unless he gets something from them. He is quite difficult to deal with.

What does he want?

Money? Ammunition? Crystals? Or something else that can be exchanged for money?

Lu Suye's eyes never left Jiang Xi's face. Her ears were getting redder and redder as he stared at her, and her face also started to feel hot.

She was really worried that she would hear some impolite requests from this man.

However, all the fantasies disappeared after Lu Suye's request was put forward.

Lu Suye changed his previous impolite attitude and became gentle and friendly, with a big smile on his face.

"Would you please let me accompany you for a while?"

"There's really nothing I can do," he said, looking at the jeep next to him and spreading his hands helplessly, "My car is broken down."

My car broke down at a highway service area, and the area within a few dozen kilometers was a deserted wasteland.

It is really like crying out to heaven and earth but no one helps.

Lu Suye further stated that they only needed to take him to the next station where there were living people.

If he were left here alone, he would probably just wait to die.

They never expected that the other party would actually offer to go with them. Most importantly, the reason was reasonable. If they refused, it would seem too inhumane.

But isn’t this just another form of entanglement in disguise?

"The car is not mine." Xiao Liang said coldly, implying that he had no say in the matter.

The car belongs to Jiang Xi.

"Is it okay?" So, Lu Suye lowered his voice and posture and made a request to Jiang Qian.

At that time, Jiang Qian was still as if facing a great enemy, and was extremely wary of the man in front of her. But when she heard that he just wanted to hitchhike and did not have any dirty thoughts in her mind, while she breathed a sigh of relief, the feeling of annoyance quickly came back, making her sink deeper into the abyss of self-doubt.

Oh my god, what was she thinking about just now? Could she be suffering from some kind of paranoia...

Or, are you too eager to prove the usefulness of your charm in this world and try to use it to exchange for some benefits that you can control?

Stop it! This is unrealistic.

"Okay." After coming back to her senses, Jiang Qian answered Lu Suye seriously.

Even if the other person is just an ordinary person who needs help in desperate situation, she will lend a helping hand.

What's more, the other party is his savior!

The moment Jiang Qian agreed to Lu Suye's joining, the light in Lu Suye's eyes flashed strangely.

Like some wild beast moving in the darkness, it caught a glimpse of its desired prey falling into a trap.

Xiao Liang immediately turned around and "questioned" Jiang Xi with a hint of surprise.

Are you sure?! You want to bring this person along?

To be honest, he never expected Jiang Xi to agree.

But Jiang Ying blinked innocently, confirming her decision.

In the end times, more people means more protection.

If another large group of zombies attacks, this person can help him share some of the firepower.

Xiao Liang walked towards the car without looking back, and walked so fast that he left the two people behind him far behind.

Jiang Qian, who couldn't keep up with Xiao Liang, could only walk side by side with Lu Suye. She was only a little below his shoulders and looked very petite and charming.

He expressed his sincere gratitude to her, "Thank you, little cake."

Small cake?

This was the nickname Lu Suye gave himself because he didn't know her name yet, and her dress was as sweet and delicious as cake.

In fact, he wanted to call her sweetheart, but once these three words came out, the meaning became distorted.

Jiang Xi didn't like him calling her that, so after they exchanged names, they immediately arrived at the gas station where they parked.

Jiang Xi seemed to suddenly remember something and gave him a shot of prevention.

Her car has a very small back seat.

Lu Suye, however, looked like he was used to hard work and didn't care at all.

Until I sat in it——

he:"……"

It cannot be said that he was sitting, it would be more appropriate to say that he was curled up. What is it like for a big man of nearly 1.9 meters to be stuffed in a small wooden box?

In addition, there were a lot of supplies piled up on both sides of the back row, pressing towards him like a tidal wave.

Just like that, he was pinned down and couldn't move at all.

At least I got into Jiang Xi's car, which is a great success.

The next second, a pair of big round eyes suddenly appeared in front of him, staring at him straight, and the pink little nose twitched and sniffed from time to time.

"Cat?" Lu Suye was shocked.

What era is this? People can’t even survive, so why are they still keeping cats?

Not to mention it's well-maintained, its fur is shiny and smooth.

“Hiss—hiss—!!”

Just after he finished praising him, Jiang Yongzhuang suddenly bared his teeth at him, and all the hair on his body stood up straight.

Lu Suye: "..."

Today he has lost all his dignity, lives on the mercy of others, and has to live at the mercy of a cat.

Fortunately, a pair of white and transparent hands soon picked up the cat that had bitten him, preserving his only remaining dignity.

"Be good."

Jiang Xi put the cat back on her lap, stroked its head, and continued to comfort it. Soon, Jiang Yongzhuang calmed down and squinted his eyes comfortably.

"Sorry, my cat might be sensitive to the smell of smoke. I didn't mean to yell at you."

Jiang Xi turned around and explained to Lu Suye.

Lu Suye paused for a moment, then reacted quickly, cutting ties immediately. "Oh, well... I don't smoke usually."

I smoked it today because my car broke down and I was in a bad mood.

He is so modest.

I don't know how much Jiang Xi believed.

"Okay," she nodded. Then, perceptively noticing Lu Suye's awkward sitting position, she asked sympathetically, "Do you want me to switch seats with you?"

Her figure is just right for sitting in the back seat.

"No, it's fine with me." Lu Suye was very perceptive. After all, he was a guest, so how could he take over the show?

Besides, what's the point of letting him sit in the passenger seat? The first thing he sees when he looks up is the stinky face of the man in black, and he doesn't like men.

But if you sit in the back row, you can always see Jiang Wei! It's very pleasing to the eye.

Both sides seemed to be considering each other. What a harmonious picture, but in an instant it was torn apart by the sudden potential energy.

Caught off guard and unable to defend himself, Xiao Liang started driving and stepped on the accelerator to the bottom.

The car was knocked away.

Jiang Xi, who was wearing a seat belt in the front seat, was fine. At most, she felt a little dizzy. But Lu Suye in the back seat was in big trouble. He almost kowtowed towards the front windshield and vomited all the food he had eaten the previous night.

On the highway, he finally recovered and couldn't let go of his humiliation until he had avenged himself.

"Your man's driving skills don't seem to be very good?" He said sarcastically to the co-pilot. After all, he could drive too and be her driver.

As for this guy, if you can't drive, don't drive. Let someone else take over.

"ah?"

But Jiang Xi's attention was completely attracted by Lu Suye's three words "your man".

The so-called "her man" here refers to Xiao Liang.

Unexpectedly, Lu Suye actually mistook her and Xiao Liang for a couple!

But in fact, Xiao Liang is not, and he has no special relationship with him.

"He..." Jiang Qian glanced at Xiao Liang hesitantly. Xiao Liang's stern face, who was driving, became even colder.

He seems very unhappy.

In this case, she would not dare to accept this ambiguous relationship that did not belong to her.

Jiang Wei confessed frankly, "He is my friend."

"real?!"

Surprise, helplessness, ecstasy, excitement, a variety of emotions instantly danced on Lu Suye's face into a cheerful symphony.

So we're just friends!?

The excitement could not be concealed, the happiness was too much, so obvious that anyone with eyes could see it.

In sharp contrast to this was the calm look that Xiao Liang suddenly gave Jiang Qian.

"Yeah?"

He repeated it very seriously, hoping to get an answer from Jiang Ting.

"We, are friends?"
