A luxury SUV was speeding along the national highway leading to Harbin. Chen Wei nervously imagined what Yuan Chuyi would think when he first saw her.
She didn't know what kind of feelings Yuan Chuyi had for her, but she knew that she had become a different person since she had been intimate with him.
She used to feel excited and happy whenever she was with her female friends. But ever since she had a relationship with Yuan Chuyi, she feels a faint sense of disgust whenever her female friends contact her.
Especially after he left, every time she was with her female companion, she couldn't stop thinking about that man. Gradually, she realized that she might have truly fallen in love with him.
Just yesterday, after that message popped into her head, she couldn't help but want to see that man immediately, so she decided to go to Harbin to follow in his footsteps.
While lost in thought, Chen Wei suddenly seemed to hear a roar. She gradually slowed down and began to observe her surroundings.
Looking at the small village in front of her, Chen Wei wondered why this village felt strange, so she decided to drive through it quickly.
Just as the vehicle passed the village entrance, she first heard a series of thumping footsteps approaching her from afar, and then her pupils dilated rapidly.
Suddenly, a zombie bull, bigger than an adult elephant, was charging towards him from the side of the vehicle. Realizing what was happening, Chen Wei slammed on the gas pedal.
However, in her anxiety, Chen Wei made a basic mistake: she forgot it was winter in the north. When she floored the accelerator, the tires did spin faster, but the vehicle's speed didn't increase.
With a sharp crack, the zombie bull's horn snapped a large tree, as thick as an adult's waist, that was blocking the roadside. Chen Wei quickly assessed the difference in strength between himself and the zombie bull.
She made the right decision in a fraction of a second. She grabbed the travel bag from the passenger seat, opened the door, and shoved it hard. After landing and rolling, there was a loud "bang!" as the nearly ten-ton SUV was rammed into the ditch by the zombie bull.
Ignoring the heartache over the SUV that Yuan Chuyi had given her, Chen Wei slung her backpack over her shoulder and ran toward the village behind her, while the zombie bull frantically rammed its horns against the SUV.
Having already run far away, Chen Wei stood on a rooftop looking at the still-raging zombie bull, cursing inwardly, "That damn stinky man, it's all your fault for giving me this piece of junk. No wonder this bull was rushing at me like that, it turns out it was all because of the red and black car body."
After glancing once more at the wrecked SUV, Chen Wei slung her backpack over her shoulder, turned, jumped off the roof, and disappeared into the distance.
"Car! Car! We need to find the car!" Chen Wei kept shouting in her heart. She observed the situation of the entire village, and in the whole morning, she didn't see a single person or car.
Furious, Chen Wei subconsciously looked up into the distance. "Huh, what's that?"
Chen Wei looked at a mountain villa halfway up the mountain and remembered that this was a resort villa before the apocalypse. Two years ago, a friend of hers had held his wedding here.
She took a deep breath and headed straight for the villa. After walking for half an hour, she finally saw the parking lot in the distance, and sure enough, there were cars there!
Looking at the tightly locked iron gate and the numerous vehicles parked in the parking lot, she thought: With so many cars, I'll just drive one away. I hope the people here won't bother me.
She leaped over the more than 2-meter-high wall, and as soon as she took a step, she heard the jingling of bells. Knowing she had been discovered, Chen Wei simply walked confidently toward the group rushing out of the villa.
An old man holding a pipe spoke first: "Young lady, did you come in without a sound to steal something?"
Chen Wei looked at the old man who was clearly the leader and said, "Old man, my car was overturned by a zombie cow on the national highway below. I searched the whole village but couldn't find a single car, so I came here."
The old man took a puff of his pipe and said, "So you're here to find a car."
Chen Wei looked at the old man and said, "I can trade my things for a car." As she spoke, she pointed to her hiking backpack.
Before the old man could speak, a young man walked out of the manor. The young man said to the old man, "Father, I'm tired of those girls from last time. How about you trick this girl into coming to me?"
The old man said in a serious tone, "The food is ready, so please eat first. Can't you see I'm talking to someone?"
Looking at the old man's expression, Chen Wei thought, "If it weren't for the fact that one of my special abilities is hearing, I might have actually been fooled by you, you old codger. Your acting skills are really something else."
After scolding the young man, the old man turned around and smiled at Chen Wei, saying, "Young lady, why don't you come in and have a bite to eat first? I'll have someone fill up your gas tank."
Chen Wei hesitated and said, "Isn't that a bad idea? Food and gasoline are so precious right now."
The old man gave a dismissive look and said, "Look at what you're saying. This is the end of the world, and people need to help each other so that we can survive."
After saying that, the old man went inside first.
If this were an ordinary young girl who hadn't eaten for days, she probably would have fallen for it already.
While they were all turned away, Chen Wei drank a bottle of antidote. As soon as Chen Wei arrived in the lobby, she faintly heard a woman crying upstairs.
The old man gave one of the women a look and said, "We have guests. Go and get the pheasant we caught yesterday to stew."
Chen Wei followed the old man to the reception room and asked, "Sir, do you all live here now?"
The old man took a puff of his cigarette and said, "We are all from Lijia Village down below. After the apocalypse came, in order to unite the strength of the whole village to fight against the zombies, I gathered all the villagers together and brought them to this unmanaged mountain village."
Chen Wei asked casually, "Is this resort now entirely staffed by people from your Li Family Village? Are there no former staff members?"
The old man said helplessly, "There are only a few people here in the summer. Who comes here in the winter? The same goes for the manor. It closed down before the apocalypse."
Listening to the old man's serious nonsense, Chen Wei thought to herself, "This manor is clearly open year-round, and many people come here specifically to hunt in the winter. It seems that the original staff here must have been murdered long ago."
Just as the two were talking, a woman came over with a kettle of boiling water and said, "Village chief, this is freshly boiled water. I've put it here for you."
After the woman placed the kettle on the table beside her, the old man said, "Tell Widow Li not to skimp on the salt when stewing the chicken this time. Last time it had no flavor at all."
The woman nodded and said, "I understand, village chief. I'll go tell Widow Li right away."
After saying that, she swayed her plump buttocks and left, while Chen Wei happened to catch a fleeting lewd glint in the old man's eyes as he looked at the woman.
