The car stopped in the narrow alley, and Shi Lan, like a nimble cat, quietly darted onto the wall.

Inside the car, Tao Jinrao took off her seatbelt and was about to get out when Zhang Xiaomei grabbed her arm.

Where are you going?

Tao Jinrao said, "It's too dangerous for Ms. Shi to go alone. I'll go and help her."

Zhang Xiaomei vaguely understood Shi Lan's thoughts, and upon hearing this, she tightened her grip even more, saying, "Don't go and cause trouble for Sister Shi. Just do whatever she tells you to do, and wait when she tells you to wait."

Tao Jinrao said, "As a gentleman, how can you let the lady rush ahead while you hide in the back?"

Zhang Xiaomei rolled her eyes and said, "Alright, do you really think we came here to get supplies?"

She said, "I took the things from my space with Sister Shi. Do you think Sister Shi wouldn't know?"

Tao Jinrao scratched his head. He was a latecomer and didn't know how much they had accumulated along the way.

Although Zhou Bin's family's small shop was small, his parents liked to hoard goods. Zhang Xiaomei's shop alone took more than two months' worth of stock from the small supermarket. Combined with the things Zhou Ren and his group had previously looted, Zhang Xiaomei could be considered a small mobile warehouse.

Tao Jinrao knew that Zhang Xiaomei had spatial abilities, but he didn't know how big that space was. Now that the topic had come up, he asked curiously, "So how much stuff do we have now?"

Zhang Xiaomei glared at him and said, "Don't worry, you definitely won't go hungry."

"Really, little sister, you understand me best," Tao Jinrao chuckled twice, feeling not embarrassed at having her thoughts exposed, but rather delighted to have found a kindred spirit.

Zhang Xiaomei was helpless against his shamelessness, so she could only look out of the car window, hoping that Shi Lan would come back soon so that she could be free from this predicament.

A deafening scream suddenly rang out from afar. Zhang Xiaomei jumped in fright and quickly asked, "What happened?"

Tao Jinrao's body tensed, his fingers gripping the handlebars tightly. After a moment, he relaxed his back. "It's not Ms. Shi's voice."

Zhang Xiaomei breathed a sigh of relief. Two minutes later, Shi Lan ran over along the city wall.

Opening the door, Shi Lan quickly climbed into the car and whispered, "Let's go."

Tao Jinrao started the car and sped off at top speed. Behind him, the hoarse howls of zombies rose and fell. Zhang Xiaomei and Zhou Bin, who were lying on the back window, saw that the zombies could not catch up and turned to the other side.

Zhou Bin patted his chest with lingering fear, "Luckily I ran fast."

Zhang Xiaomei nodded and said, "That's right, these zombies are too cunning, they actually hide in the dark."

Zhou Bin snuggled into Zhang Xiaomei's arms, acting all innocent, "Don't be afraid, sister, I'm here when the zombies come."

Zhang Xiaomei approvingly touched his soft hair, then tilted her head to look at Shi Lan, "Sister Shi, what happened just now?"

Shi Lan curled the corners of her mouth and said, "It's nothing. I just saw a lightbox above their heads swaying back and forth. I was worried that they would get hurt, so I knocked the sign down. Who knew that Liu Hui was too timid and couldn't handle anything. When I saw the zombies coming, I was worried about you, so I came back."

Of course, she didn't mention that the signboard was about a meter wide and more than two meters long, nor did she mention that she also knocked down the light boxes at several nearby intersections, just to attract more zombies.

Shi Xiaomei's lips twitched. This method of dealing with a love rival was truly...

But it really felt good. Those three were no good people, so their deaths are no big deal.

The car turned a corner and finally came to a stop, its hood gleaming. Tao Jinrao slapped the steering wheel and said, "Ms. Shi, it seems we need to get another car."

Shi Lan nodded and said, "I'll go find a car. You guys go over there and rest for a while. Little sister, prepare some food. We might have to stay here overnight."

Zhang Xiaomei obeyed Shi Lan's every word. She immediately got out of the car with Zhou Bin. Tao Jinrao was worried about them and quickly ran to her side.

Shi Lan opened the car door and looked around. When she turned her head, she saw Tao Jin with ice crystals in his hands, nervously following Zhang Xiaomei. Zhang Xiaomei looked disgusted, thinking he was blocking the way, and reached out to move him aside. Zhou Bin looked up arrogantly and gave her a cold and arrogant look.

Shi Lan couldn't help but burst out laughing, thinking that with these two adults and one child together, their future days would definitely be filled with joy.

There were rows of small shops lining the roadside. Shi Lan picked one that sold children's clothing, smashed open the door, and found it empty.

The group quickly went inside. Zhang Xiaomei, ever the thief, grabbed all the clothes as she went. Zhou Bin, quick as a flash, grabbed a military green cotton-padded jacket with medals on it and wouldn't let go.

Zhang Xiaomei picked it up, measured it, and thought it was the right size, so she said, "You can keep this for now, and wear it after you take a shower tonight."

Zhou Bin happily hugged his cotton-padded coat and sat on a soft stool next to him, swinging his short legs.

Shi Lan walked around the house for a while, and waited for Tao Jinrao, who had gone up to the attic, to confirm that it was safe before saying, "Alright, I'll be back in a bit."

Zhang Xiaomei looked at her with some reluctance, "Sister Shi, you'll come back, right?"

Shi Lan was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Of course, where else could I go if I didn't come back?"

Zhang Xiaomei nodded in relief, "Then I'll wait for you."

Shi Lan nodded and quickly left the store.

After crossing the road, Shi Lan frowned and looked around for a while, but could only sigh.

Zhang Xiaomei's sensitivity and attachment to her surprised Shi Lan. But what could she do? She had things to do and was destined not to stay here for long. She could only hope that Zhang Xiaomei wouldn't be too heartbroken.

Various kinds of cars were parked on the street. Shi Lan picked out an SUV that was about 80% new and decided to go back and take a look to confirm the result.

A few minutes later, Shi Lan parked the car in the alley, climbed the high wall again, and followed the previous path, searching for the zombie's remains.

At the end of the path, Shen Chen sat half-sitting, half-leaning against the cold wall, while Liu Hui, pale-faced and trembling, knelt before him.

“Come here,” Shen Chen moved his finger and beckoned to her.

Liu Hui flinched, trying to get up.

Shen Chen curled the corners of his lips, his tone as gentle as Shi Lan had heard before, yet his words carried an icy chill: "Who told you to get up?"

Liu Hui's body stiffened.

Shen Chen lowered his head slightly and chuckled twice.

"If you're not coming, that's fine," he said, bracing himself on his arms as if to get up.

Seeing him like this, Liu Hui quickly crawled over on all fours, trying to hug his thighs with both hands, but her hands trembled and she dared not touch him.

Shen Chen was just putting on an act; when he saw her coming over, he leaned against the wall again.

"Do I need to teach you how to do it?"

Liu Hui looked around hesitantly, "Brother Chen, it's too cold here, and it's not really a good place."

Shen Chen snorted dismissively, "This place is much cleaner than your bed. Stop talking nonsense. If you don't want to, I won't force you."

Liu Hui now only had him to rely on, so how could she dare to disobey? (To be continued.)
