Ultimately, they couldn't find a suitable reason to arrest the four of them, and the police station was also very busy lately, dealing with the chaos in public places such as supermarkets and shopping malls.

There is already a shortage of police resources.

So, after saying a few words and telling them to go home quickly and not cause trouble outside, they left.

After they left, Jiang Ruan looked up at the sky. Although it was almost noon, the sky was still dark and unclear.

You can even feel a cool breeze on your face, as if a light drizzle is falling.

"Huh, is it raining?" An Xia touched her face and turned to look at An Chun, only to find that she had already fallen asleep.

"You're so carefree!" Anxia sighed, but still gently tightened her coat to prevent her from catching a cold from the wind.

Jiang Ruan shifted her gaze from An Xia to Li Ming, who was clutching his leg and grinning.

"Let's go to the hospital."

Li Ming, clutching his leg, reached out, trying to help himself up from the car, refusing to go to the hospital but asking for money instead.

However, Jiang Ruan didn't discuss it with him. She gave Zhang Yang a look and shoved him into the back seat.

Li Ming was being watched by An Xia from behind, making it difficult for him to move his legs, for fear that she would discover that the bloodstains on his legs were fake.

Even if there is an injury on my leg, it is not their fault. It is obviously not a good idea to use my original injury to frame them.

So he hesitated and struggled the whole way until the car stopped at a side gate near the main entrance of the hospital.

"Well, I think I'd better not. My leg injury is fine, so I won't trouble you. There are so many people here, I don't want to cause any more trouble."

Li Ming tentatively spoke up, looking at the huge crowd outside, and thought of using this as an excuse.

Anxia had been staring at him ever since he got in the car. Seeing that he had been silent the whole way, she blurted out this, complaining incessantly, "That won't do. If you don't ask us for compensation now, what if you turn around and say we hit and ran away? That would be the end of us."

“Ruan Ruan, don’t listen to him. Let’s take him in for a check-up. If he’s injured, we’ll treat him; if he’s sick, we’ll treat him. If he’s healthy or has an old ailment, then we…” An Xia smiled at Li Ming.

Li Ming instantly felt goosebumps rise on his skin. He looked at An Xia cautiously, and the words "femme fatale" suddenly popped into his mind.

"What are you going to do? Let me tell you, this is a society governed by law. You can't just treat me like this. I know the law." In a panic, Li Ming pushed the car door to get out.

Anxia grabbed him and leaned closer with a smile.

An Xia only got up and left when Li Ming looked at Jiang Ruan with pleading eyes.

"Alright, let's go down..." Jiang Ruan's words trailed off as her attention was drawn to the heavy object that suddenly slammed into the windshield.

The crowd that had been crowding outside to get in suddenly scattered. Some got into cars, while others fled. Everyone was caught off guard by the unexpected turn of events.

"They've arrived so quickly?" Jiang Ruan remembered that a week after the zombies appeared, meteorites of varying sizes and shapes suddenly and mysteriously fell from the sky, causing heavy casualties among humans.

But it's only the second day now.

"Are you crazy? What's wrong with this world?" Although Anxia was in the back, the sudden and violent impact of the falling gravel shook the car, leaving her looking puzzled.

"What happened? Was it an earthquake?" An Chun woke up with a start and sat up, looking around.

"It's not an earthquake, it's falling rocks, it's a disaster." Zhang Yang sat in the driver's seat watching the rocks fall on the windshield, and then more rocks fell.

None of his worries came true; the glass was as solid as bulletproof glass, reminding him of Rupert's Tears.

He turned to look at Jiang Ruan. Unlike the panic and shock of the others, she looked extremely calm, as if she knew it would happen.

“What do we do? Getting hit by something outside is no joke. Besides, the hospital is too busy to treat him.”

"How about we..." Zhang Yang looked behind him, raised his head, and gestured to take Li Ming back to the mall.

Jiang Ruan thought for a moment and decided that going back now was fine. The gravel would probably be falling for a while; she remembered that it had lasted for an hour in her previous life.

More than half of the building was destroyed, and more than 100 people were injured or killed. The government and the police stepped in to protect the buildings, but they still couldn't save much.

Torn between saving her and not saving her, Jiang Ruan didn't think for long. The calmness that reached her eyes was a disguise she had learned in her previous life. "Let's go back."

"Okay," Zhang Yang shouted as he drove away, leaving behind a group of puzzled eyes hiding downstairs and under the car.

Li Ming tried to speak, but was stopped by An Xia's nervous and probing gaze. Above a bridge, the wind howled through the car, and even with the windows closed, one could still feel the chill.

Startled, Li Ming finally spoke, "Um, I, well, I think you don't need to worry about me anymore. Just leave me there, I need to go back."

He asked to get off the bus again, and this time, he even waived the money he had originally asked for.

Jiang Ruan looked up and saw Li Ming's conflicted and uneasy expression in the rearview mirror, and understood that he was worried about his parents' safety.

“Going out now is too risky, you’ll die.” Jiang Ruan said calmly, and casually took out her phone to make a video call to Li Ming’s parents.

A familiar voice came from ahead, and Li Ming stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

"Dad, Mom, I..." Li Ming struggled to lean forward, grabbing the tablet from Jiang Ruan's hands. An Xia was pushed back by him, but she lifted him up with one hand.

"Ah!" Li Ming screamed, clutching his leg and looking at An Xia with pitiful eyes.

"Mingming? Is it Mingming?" Hearing a scream in the video, he quickly asked with concern.

Hearing Li Ming cry out in pain, Jiang Ruan handed him the tablet so they could communicate more closely.

During the conversation, Li Ming learned that they had already secretly transferred money to the hospital when he falsely accused them of wanting money. His parents were well taken care of, and even their daily life, clothing, and personal hygiene were taken care of by dedicated staff.

The flying rocks had little impact.

After hanging up the phone, Li Ming took several minutes to process what he had just heard. He handed the tablet to Jiang Ruan before saying, "How did you know? You knew everything. I'm sorry, I feel really guilty for receiving your concern despite all this."

Jiang Ruan smiled but didn't speak. An Xia couldn't help but say, "Knowing about your situation is just a matter of a word. This is nothing. If it weren't for these rocks blocking our way, we might have met your parents today and brought them back."

"But don't worry, someone will bring them over in a couple of days. The hospital is well-equipped, so staying an extra day won't hurt."

Anxia's hearty laughter, like the drums of a gathering, struck Li Ming's heart again and again, carrying a warm and captivating power that pulled him into a clear spring.
