Chapter 335 Convoy

Jiang Liyue was awakened by the sound of voices.

Please, please take us with you!

"Kind-hearted people, since you've already started saving this person, why not go all the way? We're all from the neighboring city of S, it's very close."

First came two sobbing sounds.

Then came Han Wei's incredibly loud voice: "If you're going to help someone, help them to the Western Paradise! What kind of Buddhas are you? I can't help you, but I can send you all to the Western Paradise!"

It was this loud voice that startled Jiang Liyue awake, and she sat up abruptly.

Chu Li sat in the chair next to him. He seemed to have been awake for a long time and did not feel sleepy at all. He was holding a computer and was studying something.

He seemed to notice that she was awake, and turned his head to look at her.

Jiang Liyue greeted him with a smile: "Good morning, Dr. Chu."

Chu Li nodded slightly: "Good morning."

The voices outside continued, and Jiang Liyue's curiosity was piqued. She pointed outside and asked, "What's going on?"

Chu Li shook his head: "I don't know."

"You just woke up too?" Jiang Liyue's eyes widened.

Chu Li continued to shake his head: "Not interested."

Because he wasn't interested, nothing that happened outside mattered to him.

Jiang Liyue: ...

She immediately lowered the partition between the front and rear seats: "Old Yang, what's going on outside?"

When driver Lao Yang heard a clear female voice coming from the back seat, he was almost startled.

What happened? Dr. Chu has turned into a woman?

Then I remembered that Miss Jiang also slept in the back yesterday, so it's alright...

Old Yang was also a gossip. He had already opened the car window to observe the situation outside, and when he remembered Jiang Liyue's question, he quickly shared it with her.

"We've been on the road for a little over an hour when we encountered a group of people being chased by zombies. Surprisingly, instead of being grateful after being rescued, they wanted us to take them home," Old Yang quickly summarized the whole story.

"Look, Han Wei is negotiating with them right now."

It was supposed to be a negotiation, but Jiang Liyue remembered the angry roar that had woken her up.

It's more like a threat, isn't it?

But Jiang Liyue was more concerned about another issue. She tilted her head and looked at Chu Li next to her: "We've been on the road for more than an hour now?"

Chu Li stated accurately: "One hour, twelve minutes, and thirty-four seconds."

His expression was still a little unhappy, because the first thing Jiang Liyue did after waking up was to chat with other people.

Jiang Liyue: "...That's not the point. The point is, why didn't you wake me up?"

Fortunately, when she got on the bus last night, she had taken advantage of the fact that no one was around and put her pink pet into her spatial storage, otherwise she would have left without saying goodbye.

“You slept very soundly.” Chu Li thought for a moment and then added, “You slept very well. There was a fight outside just now.”

Jiang Liyue felt that Chu Li probably meant to say that she had been sleeping like a pig.

So the fighting with zombies outside didn't wake her up.

Jiang Liyue, though lacking conviction, retorted, "But I'm hungry."

Old Yang said cheerfully, "Miss Jiang, there is food stored in the back of the car. You can go and get it yourself."

After he finished speaking, Lao Yang suddenly felt a ghostly gaze coming from the back of his head, as if it wanted to kill him.

He looked up and met Dr. Chu's indifferent gaze in the rearview mirror.

Chu Li was also holding a bag of red bean bread in his hand.

What's going on? Is Dr. Chu so stingy? He won't even give that young girl a bag of bread?

Although many people outside are now struggling to find food, their convoy has no shortage of supplies.

A girl like Jiang Liyue could be easily raised.

So why is Dr. Chu so stingy?

Old Yang was thinking, why don't he take out his own food rations and give them to Miss Jiang?

Before Lao Yang could speak, Zhang Pei, who had been silent in the passenger seat, suddenly asked, "Lao Yang, do you want to go out and help Han Wei check on things?"

"Huh?" Old Yang quickly opened the car door, putting the matter from his mind. "Then I'll go take a look."

Zhang Pei then quietly followed, saying, "I'll go too."

Having known Dr. Chu for over three years and worked under him for a full year, Zhang Pei clearly understood Chu Li better.

Suddenly, only Jiang Liyue and Chu Li were left in the car.

Chu Li then handed the red bean bread to Jiang Liyue: "Eat it."

After Jiang Liyue took it, he took out a bottle of milk, inserted a straw, and held it to Jiang Liyue's lips: "Drink."

Jiang Liyue took a sip, and it was still warm. She wondered how he had gotten it.

The red bean filling inside the red bean bread is sweet and soft, and paired with fragrant warm milk, Jiang Liyue ate it quickly.

Before this, Dr. Chu, who only knew how to conduct experiments, did not understand why his actions were so natural when he was taking care of Jiang Liyue.

After finishing her meal, Jiang Liyue rolled down her car window, rested her hands on the edge of the window, and chin on her arm, curiously looking outside.

The people outside were divided into two camps, one of which was a group of tall men on Han Wei's side.

The other side looked much worse. Although there were young men there, how could ordinary men compare to Han Wei and his group, who had received professional training and were specially selected?

With Han Wei holding a gun, the momentum was overwhelmingly one-sided.

It looked like a group of strong men were bullying ordinary people who were powerless.

But Jiang Liyue knew that Han Wei and the others were good people, otherwise they wouldn't have taken the initiative to save her last night.

Moreover, it was Han Wei who suggested that she find a car to follow their convoy before she even offered to join them.

Therefore, Han Wei and his group did not actually refuse to allow others to follow behind their convoy for protection.

The reason we're able to have a confrontation with this group now is probably because they've gone too far.

They not only wanted the protection of following behind the convoy, but also wanted the convoy to escort them.

This was simply wishful thinking, since Han Wei and his group were escorting someone else entirely.

All of these people combined are not as important as Dr. Chu.

This kind of moral blackmail will only increase in the apocalypse.

Jiang Liyue was watching the show from the car when she was surprised to find that these people could be even more shameless, because they all knelt down in front of Han Wei and his group!

Jiang Liyue: ...

"A bunch of idiots," Chu Li said sarcastically from behind Jiang Liyue.

It was at this moment that Jiang Liyue realized that Chu Li had somehow moved closer to her, his chest pressed tightly against her back, and his cheek against hers.

His gaze seemed simple; he just wanted to watch the gossip outside with her.

Jiang Liyue: Hehe.
