Chapter 99 "Liang Nan?"
As she spoke, the woman took two steps forward in surprise, just stepping into the flashlight's range and seeing his appearance clearly. Lin Mian also widened his eyes in surprise, with a hint of uncertainty, "Liang Nan?"
Jiang Jie didn't say anything, and there was no surprise on his face, as if he already knew who was coming.
"It's me!" Liang Nan immediately said in great surprise, "I didn't expect to meet you here!"
Lin Mian hadn't expected this. He had thought that in such a chaotic world, it would be difficult for them to meet again. He looked at the other person and said hesitantly, "Your face..."
But I felt a little regretful the moment I asked. Shouldn't I ask a girl such a sad thing?
Liang Nan, however, seemed completely unconcerned about the hideous scar that ran from his left forehead to the lower right cheek. He casually replied, "I accidentally got scratched while fighting an Altered Thing. It happened a long time ago, and it's completely healed. So cool, isn't it?"
Her hair is now short, her skin is a little rough, and with that scar, she is indeed a bit more fierce than the last time they met, but her personality is still very optimistic.
Lin Mian smiled and nodded, "Yeah, very cool."
Liang Nan touched the raised scar on his face with satisfaction. Suddenly, he remembered something and gestured to the two people behind him. "Oh, right, these two are my brothers, Zhou Tai and Li Yuan."
After that, she turned around and introduced the two people, "These two, Mr. Jiang Jiejiang and Mr. Lin Mianlin, please show some respect to me. You saved my life."
The two exchanged glances, looking at them with some caution, obviously not trusting strangers. However, out of obedience to the boss, they did not show anything too much and nodded to them politely as a greeting.
Lin Mian also smiled at them.
Jiang Jie was more aloof and just gave him a look.
Liang Nan had long been accustomed to his behavior and didn't care at all. Her subordinate named Zhou Tai was a little dissatisfied, but he didn't say anything. Li Yuan raised his hand and patted his shoulder to comfort him.
"You are here to look for supplies as well, right? How is it? Did you find anything?" Liang Nan saw that they were coming from the inside and guessed that they had already searched once.
Lin Mian glanced at Jiang Yan and shook his head at her, "No, we went to the warehouse and took a look, and it has been cleaned out."
Liang Nan sighed upon hearing this, "I guessed it. We just went upstairs to check, and it's almost completely looted. I guess several groups of people have been here before, so it's normal that there are no supplies."
Hearing him say this, Lin Mian felt a little guilty. It's not that he didn't have any supplies, but they were all in his own space.
The crew-haired man named Li Yuan looked at them suspiciously and asked tentatively, "Is there anyone with spatial abilities among you two?"
It is impossible for them to come here without any gain, but they came empty-handed, which inevitably led to such speculation.
Jiang Jie looked over when he heard this and said with a half-smile, "You ask, are you?"
Li Yuan was shocked by his gaze and was also choked by his question. He was speechless for a while.
Seeing this, Zhou Tai wanted to say something for his companion, but Liang Nan raised his hand to stop him.
She turned around and glared at the two of them, secretly cursing them for their impatience. She had already told them to be more respectful.
But she also knew that the people under her command were just a little wary of strangers, and they had no bad intentions, otherwise she would not trust them, so she still had to say a few words on their behalf. It would be bad if they annoyed her, as she had seen Jiang Yan's methods before.
Retracting her gaze, she quickly smiled and said, "Brother Jiang, don't mind. It's just my subordinates who speak without thinking. I definitely don't mean to cause trouble."
After saying that, he said coldly: "Yuanzi, why don't you apologize!"
Lin Mian looked at her curiously. He had only thought that she was optimistic, cheerful and lively before, but he didn't expect that she had such a majestic side.
Li Yuan lowered his head cooperatively and said, "Sorry."
In addition to obeying Liang Nan, the man's gaze on him also made his back chilled and he felt the pressure doubled, so he was very aware of the situation.
Seeing that he really had no objection, Jiang Yan withdrew his gaze from him, and the other party was obviously relieved.
The boss was really angry, and Zhou Tai didn't say anything else. No matter what he thought in his heart, at least he corrected his attitude on the surface.
The atmosphere was thus eased, and Liang Nan, acting as the middleman between the two parties, took the opportunity to speak up: "Since there are no supplies here, why don't we go somewhere else? Brother Jiang, Lin Mian, how about we go together?"
Then he thought of something and said, "Let me tell you, my brother and I have set up a safe zone. It's in City L, about half a day's drive from here. How about you guys come with me to take a look?"
They came here specifically to look for supplies. They had been out for a few days and were now on their way back. They had chosen another route to search the cities here as well.
Unexpectedly, this detour brought her an unexpected surprise.
Lin Mian was quite interested in the safe zone she established, but he did not agree directly. Instead, he turned to look at Jiang Jie and waited for his decision.
"Okay." Jiang Jie raised his eyebrows and agreed.
Liang Nan was very happy about this. They were the first friends he met after the apocalypse, and they were of course very happy to go back with him. It would be even better if they were willing to stay in their own safe zone at that time.
Since there were no more supplies here, they simply stopped wasting time and went upstairs directly, ready to look for them in other places in the city.
When they reached the door, the light from outside shone in. Liang Nan turned off the flashlight and said, "Oh, there's another one of our companions staying outside. His name is..."
"Sister Nan, you guys are back just in time. I just found an RV over there!"
Before Liang Nan could finish his words, the people waiting by the car noticed them and trotted over. When they saw the two strangers, they paused and asked, "Who are they?"
From the moment he appeared, Jiang Jie's gaze was always on his face, as deep as ink. When he met his gaze this time, he suddenly smiled.
Lin Mian noticed this and blinked when he saw his expression. Every time a man showed such a smile, it meant that he would not have a good ending.
He turned his head to look at the young man who had just approached. He looked ordinary and nothing special, and there was no obvious malice in his eyes. So why did Jiang Jie dislike him the moment they met?
He vaguely remembered that the last person who had this "honor" was a man named Wang Hao in City N. Later, not even ashes were left of him.
Over there, Liang Nan was still introducing his men, "Mr. Jiang Jie and Mr. Lin Mian, my friends."
The man smiled upon hearing this, revealing his white teeth. He looked very pleasant. He waved at the two of them and said, "Hello, my name is Liu Yang."
Lin Mian just nodded and smiled as before
But Jiang Jie, who had been so aloof just now, broke his usual habit this time. He not only smiled at him but also responded, "Hello."
Zhou Tai on the side curled his lips in dissatisfaction when he saw this. Why? They were not like this when I saw them just now!
This kid Liu Yang is really good at pleasing people. He usually follows Liang Nan around and calls her "sister" but it seems that he can't talk to Li Yuan. He is just like his smiling tiger captain, so annoying. Humph!
They knew each other before, and Liu Yang continued what he had just said, "Sister Nan, I was just bored and wandering around, and I found a modified RV over there. Oh, and it even has solar panels!"
Hearing him say this, Liang Nan immediately said: "Oh, that's Brother Jiang's car."
"Oh, so that's it," Liu Yang touched the back of his head a little embarrassedly, "I thought we were lucky today and had an unexpected gain. I'm sorry, Mr. Jiang."
Jiang Jie smiled again with good temper, "It's okay, I understand."
Seeing him like this, Lin Mian felt uneasy.
Liang Nan felt the difference in his attitude and thought that Liu Yang was usually quite likable, but she didn't expect that even the aloof Brother Jiang would be so gentle towards him.
But her brother, who had a good temper, had never been close to him and always told her to be on guard, saying that sometimes the more harmless someone looked, the more cunning they might be.
She remembered that she had retorted at that time, saying that Lin Mian was very cute and consistent in his appearance and character, and then she received a big eye roll from her brother.
Liang Nan raised his hand to touch his nose, and stopped thinking about these things. He said, "It's quite cold. Let's get in the car first and search the city. We will go back as soon as possible, and it would be best if we could reach the safe zone before dark."
Naturally, the people under her had no objection to what she said, so she mainly looked at Jiang Jie and the others when she spoke.
In response, Jiang Jie nodded in agreement and raised his chin slightly to indicate that their car should go ahead.
The four people were traveling in an off-road vehicle with relatively large tires. This type of vehicle is more stable and relatively less slip-resistant.
But no matter how big this kind of car is, there is only so much space. It would take almost as long to fill it up and search an entire city. However, Liang Nan said that they had been out for several days.
Therefore, Jiang Jie's previous guess was correct. There must be someone with spatial abilities among them, and it was most likely Li Yuan who had spoken to test them.
However, Liang Nan did not seem to have any intention of concealing it. Space-powered people are rare nowadays, but not as rare as they were at the beginning. There is a high probability that there are such people in many safe zones now, the only difference is the size of the space.
Jiang Jie was not interested in this. He was interested in the young man named Liu Yang.
This person, like Wang Hao, was a traitor under his command. He didn't expect that since he didn't form a safe zone this time, the other party actually followed Liang Nan. It was really an interesting fate.
Lin Mian turned around and saw a smile on his face, but it didn't reach his eyes at all. His gaze was fixed on Liu Yang's back. He couldn't help but move closer to him and asked in a low voice, "Brother Jian, do you know Liu Yang? Who is he?"
Jiang Yan withdrew his gaze and turned to look at the curious little rabbit beside him. He raised his hand and rubbed his cheek with his knuckles, and replied in a gentle tone: "A dying man."
