Bai Hongwei pretended not to see Zuo Ling's inner turmoil and urged, "Sister, you have to come back alive. Don't lose your life out there."

Feeling a little touched by the concern shown to her, Zuo Ling thought to herself, "Whatever the reason, Bai Hongwei didn't ask me to sell myself like Yang Bailao by signing my fingerprint. Why not take it?"

"Thank you so much. I'll treat you to dinner when I get back."

Seeing that she accepted it, Bai Hongwei secretly breathed a sigh of relief and casually said, "Let's eat at your house. I'll wait for you to come back. You can't go back on your word."

"OK."

You should express your gratitude properly after receiving such a generous gift.

In the extreme cold and darkness, one would absolutely not dare to cross thousands of mountains and rivers to travel far without a bit of courage.

Pei Nansheng and Zuo Ling had no choice but to go.

After Pei Nansheng gave a brief account of how they came to be there, Zuo Ling wanted to back out.

Xiao Hao is the son of her cheapskate father, what does that have to do with her? She really doesn't need to go back in the freezing cold and dark night.

He swallowed hard, trying to find an excuse: "There will definitely be dangers on the road, so maybe..."

Or perhaps we should wait until the polar night has passed before discussing this further.

Pei Nansheng consciously filled in the second half of Zuo Ling's sentence.

He didn't blame Zuo Ling. Zuo Ling had never met Xiao Hao and was hostile towards the Ding family. For someone unrelated to them, nine and a half out of ten people would have the same thought.

"It's not entirely for Xiao Hao. The Ding family is powerful, while we are weak and isolated. Although it's inconvenient during the polar night, it's also a good time to do things."

When it came to how to take revenge on the Ding family, Zuo Ling became interested, her eyes lighting up: "What do you want to do?"

"We'll talk about it on the way."

In short, Zuo Ling had no choice but to follow.

All the supplies in Pei Nansheng's house were moved into the Zuo Ling Space. The original items in the house were kept, and those that shouldn't have been there were cleared out.

Once everything was ready, the two drove Zuo Ling's newly purchased all-terrain vehicle towards Shuzhou.

I had only traveled about twenty miles from Kyoto when, without checking, I fell into a huge pit.

Saying it fell into a big pit is inaccurate; it's more accurate to say that the front of the car was stuck in the pit, while the rear of the car was resting on the edge of the pit.

Pei Nansheng was driving, and Zuo Ling was sitting in the passenger seat. The shock made both of them feel completely disoriented.

The two were hunched over, restrained by the seatbelts, and were in a semi-suspended position.

They looked at each other, knowing there was danger, but it came so quickly that it was still quite speechless.

Turn off the lights, shut off the engine, put on your bulletproof helmet, and wait quietly.

After a few breaths, Pei Nansheng said softly:

"Six men, one at 3 o'clock and two at 5 o'clock. I'll count to three, then fire."

Pei Nansheng didn't say where the other three people were, so naturally he would handle that.

Zuo Ling thought to herself, "It's pitch black, you really think highly of me," but she didn't object.

"One, two, fire!"

Pei Nansheng rolled down the car window as he said he was going to fire.

With two guns in hand, Zuo Ling fired one shot each at the 3 o'clock and 5 o'clock positions. Then, he aimed both guns at the 5 o'clock position and fired continuously. He heard muffled groans and cries of pain, but he didn't know if he had killed anyone.

After firing his gun, Pei Nansheng quickly got out of the car, climbed up the ditch, and pounced on Zuo Ling's side like a cat.

Zuo Ling didn't get out of the car, knowing full well that she was right, and waited quietly.

A few minutes later, Pei Nansheng returned. "Come out, everything's alright."

After climbing out of the pit, Zuo Ling casually tossed the car into her spatial storage.

"Did you kill him?"

Unlike Pei Nansheng, she hadn't received special training. Firing in the polar night, without being able to see the enemy, was essentially blind firing.

"One dead and two injured, not bad."

Given Pei Nansheng's understanding of Zuo Ling, achieving this result is already quite remarkable.

Zuo Ling was very pleased with herself, as she had hit all the targets.

She didn't ask how the other three were doing; given Pei Nansheng's skills, the possibility of him making a mistake was almost zero.

The two continued on their way, the car moving at a snail's pace.

Before the apocalypse, from Kyoto to Shuzhou, if you took the highway and drove fast, it would only take 20 hours.

After the apocalypse, the highways were shut down. At their current speed, it would be good if they could get there in a week, and they couldn't afford any mistakes along the way.

After staring at the dark car window for a while, feeling sleepy, Zuo Ling yawned and said, "I'm going to sleep for a bit. I'm tired. Let me drive."

Pei Nansheng glanced at her and said, "Put your helmet on before you sleep."

As soon as the danger was over, Zuo Ling took off her bulletproof helmet.

Wearing that thing was too stuffy, so Zuo Ling didn't want to wear it. She adjusted the chair to a semi-reclined position, lay down, and fell asleep.

What can Pei Nansheng do when he has a sister who won't listen to reason? He just has to shut up.

Before Zuo Ling could even fall asleep, the car jolted and slid half a circle.

Pei Nansheng cursed, "Bastard."

Trying to regain control of the car by jerking the steering wheel is too late.

The car spun around like a top hitting an obstacle, turning almost half a circle before crashing heavily into a ditch on one side.

The ditch was full of snow, and the car swerved sideways into the snow, with Pei Nansheng's driver's seat trapped underneath.

Zuo Ling's head slammed heavily against the car wall with a thud, causing her to grimace in pain and burst into anger.

Hearing a loud howl outside, a group of people ran towards them in a chaotic manner.

"Haha, we crashed, but we caught a big fish."

"Awooo, awooo, awooo..."

"All-terrain vehicles must have a lot of good stuff."

"..."

"Damn it, you're asking for it!"

Taking out a shotgun, Zuo Ling opened the side window and fired wildly.

Pei Nansheng narrowed his eyes. He knew that Bai Hongwei had given Zuo Ling two pistols and 200 rounds of ammunition, but he didn't know that Zuo Ling also had a shotgun.

It seems his younger sister has quite a lot of luck in this life.

Da da da... Da da da... Da da da...

"Ah...ah...guns, guns, they have guns..."

The excited howls turned into terrifying screams.

The enemy returned fire, but only a few shots were fired, clearly indicating a severe shortage of firearms and ammunition.
