Carl and the cassow only glanced at it indifferently, ignoring it, and continued to wash the two silly creatures.
They've seen this kind of scene many times, even if it's not the end of the world.
Countless people have died right under their noses, but they don't have the time to meddle in other people's business.
Li Xin'er subtly observed their behavior and was quite satisfied.
This may be one of the reasons why she was willing to keep them by her side.
Before Zhao Xiaogang could even reach them, the people chasing them had already caught up with the fallen boy.
Five men surrounded him and kicked him repeatedly in the back, causing blood to flow all over the ground.
After venting their anger, one of them pulled the man who had thrown the knife first back and tried to calm him down:
"Brother, the smell of blood will attract zombies."
Upon hearing the word "zombie," the leader's eyes clearly flashed with terror, and he reluctantly withdrew his foot.
He spat fiercely at the dying boy on the ground.
'Pooh'
"Running? Why aren't you running anymore? You were so capable just now!"
Compared to beating people up, the others seemed more concerned about the food the two had stolen. One of them reminded them again.
"Brother, the food is still on that kid in front."
The leader also realized what was happening, his eyes turning fierce. He pulled the knife from the boy's back and beckoned to the four of them.
"Walk!"
The five of them then chased after Zhao Xiaogang.
"Kid! Don't run!"
Even Li Xin'er, watching the spectacle, couldn't help but think to herself, "Chasing like that, only a fool wouldn't run away..."
Just as Zhao Xiaogang was getting closer and closer to Li Xin'er and the others, suddenly, the roar of a car engine came from the opposite direction, growing louder as it approached.
Then came a series of screeching brakes as four black bulletproof SUVs pulled up in front of Li Xin'er and her group.
Carl and the cassow stopped what they were doing, picked up their guns, and walked over to Li Xin'er.
A dozen or twenty tall men in black suits, carrying rifles or submachine guns, got out of the off-road vehicles.
Zhao Xiaogang was so frightened by the scene that he froze on the spot, his legs trembling.
When the five men behind him caught up, they were still brandishing knives and sticks, looking fierce and ready to fight to the death.
Upon seeing the row of men in black, they too froze in place, their arms still raised.
Fu Xihan stepped out of the car, dressed in an exquisite haute couture suit and handcrafted leather shoes, looking no different from before the apocalypse.
He tilted his head slightly, gave the five people a sharp look, and raised his hand slightly.
The sound of submachine gun fire erupted instantly, and five people were riddled with bullets and fell to the ground, the stench of blood spreading throughout the street in a flash.
Zhao Xiaogang, who was slightly ahead, was already slumped on the ground, pale-faced, looking utterly terrified, his eyes glazed over.
Fu Xihan acted as if nothing had happened, not even glancing over there again, and walked straight towards Li Xin'er with a gentle smile on his face.
"Miss Li, it's been a long time. How have you been?"
Li Xin'er looked him up and down and said sarcastically:
"You went to great lengths to find me. What? You've abandoned the Fu family?"
Upon hearing Li Xin'er mention the Fu family, Fu Xihan's eyes deepened, revealing both surprise and an even stronger determination to succeed.
He hadn't expected that Li Xin'er knew about the Fu family's internal affairs, but it was precisely because of Li Xin'er's unfathomable abilities that he became more convinced of his own ideas. He believed that as long as he could cooperate with Li Xin'er, there would be unexpected results.
He had plenty of patience when it came to Li Xin'er. Fu Xihan avoided the main point and nodded.
"It did take some effort, but hard work pays off."
Li Xin'er asked with some curiosity,
"Now that you've found me, what should you do next?"
Sensing the displeasure Li Xin'er was conveying in her words, Fu Xihan helplessly shrugged.
"Perhaps we can sit down and have a proper talk?"
He looked at Li Xin'er, his eyes sincere.
"There is no life-or-death struggle between us. We can stand together and achieve win-win cooperation."
"If it were before..."
In the past, she might have actually cooperated with Fu Xihan, but now it's absolutely impossible.
She hated the feeling of being presumed upon and secretly spied on.
But before Li Xin'er could finish speaking, Carl and the cassow's communicators rang at the same time.
After a buzzing sound of electricity, came the urgent cooing of pigeons.
"Boss."
Carl glanced at Li Xin'er, who nodded slightly. He then typed a reply.
"What's up?"
"Boss, the Dragon Flame men are here."
Carl's expression changed slightly. "Hold on, we're going back right away."
"good!"
The communication was interrupted, and Carl glanced at Li Xin'er with a hint of hesitation.
Although Li Xin'er didn't know which faction Long Yan belonged to, she could tell from Carl's expression that things were not simple.
She didn't waste any more time and said directly to Fu Xihan:
"Did you hear that? We have something to attend to, so we'll be going now."
Without waiting for Fu Xihan's response, he gestured for Carl and the others to get in the car.
Fu Xihan paid special attention to the large white tiger that was following Li Xin'er.
Aside from physical differences, they seem to be quite intelligent and can understand human speech.
Fu Xihan's gaze grew even deeper and more profound.
Li Xin'er thought that since Fu Xihan had finally found her, he would be rude and block her way. So she decided to just kill him and not care about being the male lead.
Unexpectedly, Fu Xihan even instructed his men to make way, which made Li Xin'er curious about what he was planning to do now.
In the car, Li Xin'er looked at Fu Xihan and the others in the rearview mirror and asked Carl,
"Tell me, what's going on with Long Yan?"
"An official special forces unit that is very secretive in China."
Upon hearing that they were officials, Li Xin'er immediately thought of the missile that had almost been intercepted, and a sudden realization dawned on her.
"They were recruited last night."
Carl nodded gravely.
"Unsurprisingly, the Kyoto authorities are still trying their best to control the situation. They want to maintain their power. The sudden bombing of the Ye family and the appearance of missiles are all things that worry them."
Li Xin'er suddenly smiled, her eyes crinkling with laughter, because she saw Fu Xihan's car following her at a distance.
"Contact Pigeon and get a unified story: we're working for the Fu family. Don't say anything else. Stick to that. We'll get back when we return."
Someone wanted to be a scapegoat; it wouldn't be right for her not to lend a hand.
Fu Xihan's ambitions were sky-high, so it was better to grant his wish.
Carl was taken aback by what he heard. He glanced at the rearview mirror and, combining it with Fu Xihan's words, understood Li Xin'er's thoughts.
"good."
It has to be said, Li Xin'er is ruthless.
Although he didn't know why Li Xin'er was so confident that Fu Xihan would stand by her side, he knew that if Fu Xihan dared to accept the offer, the entire Fu family would be doomed.
The cassow didn't understand and was a little confused, but he didn't ask any more questions. He just drove his car and followed instructions when it was done.
The pigeons in the seaside villa are still locked in a stalemate with Lu Jin'an.
Upon receiving Carl's message, he was equally puzzled as to why he was involved with the Fu family, but he still obeyed orders.
