Chapter 333: Did you have a pleasant chat?

After the man spoke, Jiang Liyue hadn't said anything yet, but the others around her stared wide-eyed.

"Dr. Chu, you..."

“I have plenty of empty seats in my car.” Chu Li didn’t look at him, but looked straight at Jiang Liyue.

His usually indifferent eyes seemed to take on a strange meaning when he looked at her. "Or do you want to drive yourself?"

Jiang Liyue, of course, didn't want to drive herself if she could get a ride.

She wanted to lie down.

So Jiang Liyue nodded repeatedly, "I'm willing, I'm willing."

She smiled at the man inside the car window: "Thank you, you're such a kind person."

The dark-skinned man next to Jiang Liyue hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.

No, although they were there on a mission to protect Dr. Chu and get him safely into the safe zone, in reality, when they arrived at the laboratory...

They saw the other person's indifferent expression amidst the horde of zombies, and how a large number of zombies fell behind him whenever he walked by.

His white robe was spotless, without a single stain.

Even the medicine they used to fight the zombies was provided by Chu Li.

In other words, this man didn't need their protection at all; he had no emotions, and his expression was the same whether he was looking at people or zombies.

Could this terrifying being be the good person Jiang Liyue spoke of?

His invitation to Jiang Liyue to get in the car is intriguing enough. Could it be that he saw she could attract zombies and wanted to dissect her for research?

Thinking of this, the man's expression changed when he looked at Jiang Liyue.

But Chu Li was their target, and he didn't dare to remind Jiang Liyue in front of him.

I had no choice but to say tactfully, "Dr. Chu, don't you have a lot of research materials in your car? Is it inconvenient...?"

“Very convenient.” Chu Li glanced at the man indifferently; he sat in the car with a slightly condescending, warning air about him.

The man fell silent, and indeed dared not say anything more.

Jiang Liyue could see the undercurrents between them, but this was her boyfriend, and she had nothing to be afraid of.

So I pretended not to notice anything.

The car window rolled up again, obscuring Chu Li's face, but Jiang Liyue could still feel the burning gaze coming from inside the car.

The scoundrel pretended not to care.

Jiang Liyue ignored him and continued talking to the dark-skinned man.

By this time, a campfire had been lit in the open space in the middle of the convoy, providing some warmth in the cold night.

Everyone got out of the car and warmed themselves by the campfire, while others distributed food.

Lianjiang Liyue was given a loaf of bread and half a can of beef.

The driver and a researcher in the middle vehicle got out of the car, but Chu Li remained seated inside, without even showing his face.

Jiang Liyue and the others introduced themselves to each other, and she learned that the dark-skinned man who had spoken to her first was named Han Wei.

Han Wei said they were government-employed personnel specifically tasked with carrying out a mission, escorting Dr. Chu Li, who had just appeared, and some research materials.

He wasn't afraid of what Jiang Liyue would do if she knew this information. She was just a pretty but weak girl, and she couldn't even beat him by herself.

"Don't worry, just come with us to the safe zone, it'll only take two days," Han Wei said confidently, waving his hand at the end.

Jiang Liyue munched on her bread, her expression curious: "Safe zone? Is it that far? I saw online that there's a safe zone near S City, only about 200 kilometers from here. I was planning to go there."

“That’s a regular safe zone. It’s not very safe, either in terms of the number of people it can accommodate or its level of security. It can’t withstand any attack from a horde of zombies.” Han Wei paused, then said with some pride, “We’re going to the central safe zone, which is the only truly safe zone.”

"So that's how it is." Jiang Liyue suddenly realized.

Information online is indeed unreliable.

Jiang Liyue guessed that even if she successfully reached the safe zone in S City, the mission to enter the safe zone would not be considered complete.

However, you should get a clue to the real safe zone inside, and then follow the real clue to find it.

Compared to directly encountering Han Wei and his group now, this would be far more troublesome.

Jiang Liyue exclaimed, "I'm so lucky!"

Her eyes sparkled as she spoke, and her beautiful features seemed to glow in the warm yellow light of the campfire.

Actually, many people in the team were secretly watching her; there was no way to stop them from admiring her because she was just too beautiful.

For a group of men who constantly live on the edge, such a beautiful woman is incredibly attractive.

Fortunately, their eyes held only pure admiration; otherwise, they might not have survived the night.

"Miss Jiang, what are your plans after you get to the safe zone?" Han Wei was also a little eager; he was actually still missing a wife.

With such a beautiful wife, he'd be happy to live a life of luxury!

Jiang Liyue blinked: "Let's talk about it when we get there. I'm very capable."

Han Wei laughed, and the others obviously didn't take her words seriously. They only realized later, when they saw her strength, that what she said about being powerful was not as simple as it seemed.

Han Wei knew she didn't want to talk about these things right now. It was the early stages of the apocalypse, and they weren't that perverted, nor would they force a young girl.

So they brought up the scene of their first meeting with Jiang Liyue again.

"That's really impressive. We've never seen a zombie chase after someone like that before." Han Wei gave a thumbs up. "That's so cool."

Jiang Liyue was both amused and exasperated: "So, am I supposed to be happy? Do you want this good fortune as a gift?"

Han Wei scratched his head: "Hehe, I'm not worthy of it, I'm not worthy of it."

After dinner, it's time to rest.

Instead of setting up camp in the same spot, everyone simply got into the car and made do for the night.

Just leave three people to keep watch by the campfire.

Jiang Liyue glanced at her pink electric scooter and thought that the little pink scooter probably wouldn't be able to give her a good night's rest.

Just then, Chu Li opened the car door, and he looked at her with the same gaze: "Aren't you getting in?"

Jiang Liyue jumped into the car without hesitation.

The convoy consisted of five very tall and spacious SUVs, with Chu Li's being the most extravagant, likely modified, and boasting a large interior space.

The driver, Lao Yang, and another researcher, Zhang Pei, were sitting in the front passenger seat and the front passenger seat, respectively.

The partition between the front and rear rows rises up, creating a separate space in the back.

There were only two seats in the back row, leaving a large empty space. Several safes and some medicines that I didn't quite understand were neatly stacked on the floor behind.

Chu Li sat in the seat on the left, leaving the seat on the right empty. Jiang Liyue didn't stand on ceremony and climbed up, then closed the door behind her.

The carriage wasn't completely dark; some light shone in through the windows from the campfire outside.

Jiang Liyue used this dim light to see Chu Li sitting next to her, a hazy, dreamlike beauty.

When she looked over, Chu Li was also looking at her.

Their eyes met, and Jiang Liyue greeted him with a smile: "Good evening, Dr. Chu. Thank you for letting me come up."

Chu Li didn't respond to her question, but instead slightly raised the corners of his lips: "You were having a great time chatting with them just now?"

Jiang Liyue: ?
