Chapter 7: The Female Lead Appears

The group gathered in the living room and looked at Gu Zijing. She closed her eyes slightly, then opened them a moment later and said with a slight smile, "Two men and two women, I didn't sense any danger."

Hearing Gu Zijing say that, Chen Le asked Pei Yi, "Brother Pei, shall we open the door?"

"Open it."

Since the end times, there have been very few humans to encounter, and information about them is scarce. It would be good to meet humans and exchange some information.

Chen Le went over and opened the door. Just as Gu Zijing had said, there were two men and two women outside. They all looked quite young, and their eyes revealed a kind of innocent naiveté.

They knew the characteristics of zombies, so they kept their voices very low, whether knocking or walking.

Seeing Chen Le open the door, his eyes lit up with surprise: "I saw two SUVs outside and guessed there must be someone here. I didn't expect there really was!"

After closing the door, Chen Le stepped back to stand next to Pei Yi, his expression scrutinizing: "Who are you? What do you want?"

Hello.

The tallest boy at the front stepped forward and introduced himself: "We are students from a nearby university of science and technology. After the apocalypse, we struggled to survive at the school and waited for rescue. We only managed to escape from the school recently. During that time, we also encountered some flying ability users and learned about the current situation of the apocalypse."

“Yes, yes, yes.” Another boy with a rather handsome appearance immediately nodded in agreement: “Along the way, apart from encountering a few flying ability users, we haven’t met a single other human. If it weren’t for these ability users, we would have doubted whether we were the only ones left in this world.”

Pei Yi raised an eyebrow: "You're from the University of Science and Technology? Do you know Pei Xiu?"

“I know Pei Xiu!” the handsome boy exclaimed excitedly. “He’s a big name in our school, but he probably doesn’t know me.”

After chatting for a while, I learned that the tall boy's name was Zhuo Xu (pronounced xu, first tone), a junior, and the handsome boy's name was Yang Ziheng, a sophomore. The other two girls were Xia Qianqian and Meng Rui, both sophomores and roommates.

Upon hearing their names, Ling Ran looked towards the ABB name.

Xia Qianqian, Meng Rui, and Zhuo Xu—aren't these the female lead, male supporting character, and female supporting character that Qiao Yunshu mentioned?

She never expected to run into him.

Ling Ran subconsciously glanced at Shen Nian Shen, who would later develop feelings for Xia Qianqian. Shen Nian Shen, however, was very perceptive and noticed her gaze, turning to meet her eyes. Ling Ran wasn't embarrassed at all; instead, she looked at him even more openly.

However, not seeing anything, I looked away with slight regret.

After learning that Ling Ran and the others were going to the G City base, Zhuo Xu and his group asked if they could take them along.

Seeing Pei Yi frown slightly, seemingly reluctant to take them along, Zhuo Xu explained their value: "I am a dual-type ability user of wood and speed, Qianqian is a spatial ability user, and Yang Ziheng is a strength ability user. We have some supplies and won't take up any of yours. We just hope to reach G City together and help each other out to the best of our ability."

When Zhuo Xu said these words, Meng Rui's expression changed slightly, and her eyes dimmed.

Only Ling Ran, who knew a little about the plot, noticed her emotional change.

She is a very important character in the early part of the story. As the best friend of the female lead Xia Qianqian, she lost her superpowers due to the apocalypse. In addition, the man she liked, Zhuo Xu, also liked Xia Qianqian, which made her extremely unbalanced and jealous of Xia Qianqian. Later, she drugged Zhuo Xu and played the role of a scheming woman. In the end, after the truth was revealed, she became Xia Qianqian's enemy.

Meng Rui is a very important character in Xia Qianqian's growth.
