"Chu Ran, are you asleep?" It was Wang Siyuan, who had changed into a sexy nightgown and was standing at the door holding a blanket.
"Is there something you need? I'm already asleep!" Li Churan pretended to be sleepy.
"Chu Ran, I'm a little scared to be alone! Can I come with you?" It was true that she was a little scared, but the most important thing was that she wanted to sleep in the same room as Li Chu Ran.
She had been waiting for nightfall for a long time. Ever since Li Churan tacitly agreed that day, her heart had been pounding. Unfortunately, she hadn't found a suitable opportunity until tonight, when she felt that the opportunity had finally arrived.
“It’s safe here, there’s nothing to be afraid of. If you’re really scared, you can have the guards watch over you outside. I’m a little tired, so I’m going to sleep now! We can talk about it tomorrow morning!” Li Churan directly shut down Wang Siyuan’s words.
"But! Chu Ran, didn't we agree to live under the same roof?" Wang Siyuan asked unwillingly. She had already done so much for Li Chu Ran, didn't Li Chu Ran feel any of it?
“Aren’t we under the same roof now?” Li Churan retorted.
“Yes! But what I mean is…” Wang Siyuan quickly explained that she didn’t mean that.
"Since you agree, then it means there's no problem. Okay, I'm tired! I need to rest now! Goodnight!"
"Chu Ran, Chu Ran..." Wang Siyuan continued to knock on the door, but there was no response from inside.
Wang Siyuan truly regretted speaking so tactfully back then, but there was nothing she could do now. It was probably impossible today, so she could only look for another opportunity to pounce on Li Churan.
She returned to her place with the blanket, feeling utterly defeated. All that sexy pajamas she wore tonight was for nothing!
Wang Siyuan fell asleep in a depressed mood, only to be woken up the next morning by the servants she had brought with her.
"Miss! Time to get up! We're leaving soon!"
"Are we leaving so early? What time is it?" Wang Siyuan is used to sleeping late and waking up late, and she hasn't adjusted to the time difference yet.
"It's already eight o'clock! Mr. Li has been up for ages!" Aunt Liu said anxiously.
"What?! It's already eight o'clock! I'm getting up right now!"
After being urged repeatedly by Li Churan, Wang Siyuan finally finished her full makeup and arrived late.
If Chu Ran were to see her without makeup, she might as well just commit suicide on the spot!
"Now that everyone's here, let's set off!" Li Churan glanced coldly at her watch; more than an hour had passed!
The helicopter continued its journey towards City A.
Being only an hour late caused Canglan a lot of trouble.
At this point, the food supply in the rescue center had almost completely dried up, and the negative emotions of the survivors inside were growing stronger.
Thanks to Canglan's mediation, the hostility between them was barely suppressed.
When Li Churan and the others failed to arrive on time, the conflict finally erupted completely.
"Weren't they supposed to arrive by 11 o'clock? Why haven't they come yet?"
"When will the rescue arrive? Could something have happened?"
"Could this be a lie? Are they trying to make us cannon fodder?!"
"That's so unfair! Why are our rooms on the outer edge of the corridor?"
"What should we do if there is no rescue?"
A sense of despair permeated the entire third floor.
"Don't worry, everyone! They will definitely come! They're just a little delayed by something!" In truth, Canglan wasn't entirely sure either, but he could only convince himself that the rescue would definitely arrive.
If even he gets flustered, then all of them will fall apart.
"Didn't you say they would definitely be here by 11 o'clock? But where are they now? You didn't just make this up to fool us, did you?"
Upon hearing this, the others echoed his sentiments.
"Please believe me, the rescue will definitely come!"
Once they lose their will to fight, they will have no way to deal with zombies and will soon become their meal.
Canglan kept calling Li Churan, but no one answered.
"Is there really no hope?" Canglan felt so tired for the first time.
While they hesitated, the zombies attacked again. Because the survivors' morale had collapsed, they did not try to stop the zombies. The zombies headed for Canglan's room at the very back.
"Freeze!" Canglan heard a series of drum-like banging sounds coming from outside the door—the sound of zombies frantically pounding on the door. Left with no other choice, he had to use his special ability again.
A bone-chilling cold gushed out of the room like a surging wave, and the temperature outside the door plummeted instantly.
Under the onslaught of the cold, the zombies seemed to be frozen in place, and their attack speed began to slow down.
Inside the room, Canglan struggled to hold on. He had only recently withdrawn his powers when the zombies attacked, and now he was simply overdrawing his physical strength.
"Could it be that they really lied to me?" Despair gradually crept into Canglan's eyes.
The helicopter sped through the sky, and Li Churan glanced impatiently at her wrist. "How much longer until we reach our destination?"
"About 15 more minutes!" the driver replied, wiping the sweat from his brow.
"Speed up! Get to the designated coordinates as soon as possible!" Li Churan had a feeling that something might be wrong.
"Okay! Mr. Li!" The helicopter sped off towards the rescue center.
They should be able to reach the agreed location in about ten minutes.
And Li Churan is finally about to gain his first wave of subordinates in City A.
At that moment, Canglan, who was fighting zombies below, finally heard the roar of the helicopter.
"They're here! They're here! The rescue team has finally arrived!"
He used the last of his strength to freeze the zombie outside the door.
"Only a few minutes left! I absolutely cannot fall in these last few minutes!" Canglan already tasted blood in his mouth.
