Chapter 18: Starting Again
Maybe everyone was too scared, or maybe Yu Yao was too reassuring.
In short, although everyone had complaints about the "injured" Luo Mei, they couldn't help but follow Yu Yao into the sales office.
After all, between one zombie and countless zombies outside, they still know how to choose!
......
Yu Yao didn't care at all about what happened next.
He helped Luo Mei into the sales office and, with a knife in one hand, killed the few zombies that rushed over at the smell of living people.
Then he went straight to the VIP room on the second floor and closed the door very rudely, refusing anyone else to enter.
Zhao Han looked at the tightly closed door and stamped his feet angrily, "Yu Yao is such a jerk, she doesn't even give us any face!"
Fang Lianjiao comforted her, "Maybe she's afraid that her friends will hurt us. Don't be angry. This place is so big, are you afraid that there's no place to rest?"
Tan He also said: "That's right, her friend is a ticking time bomb now, so we should avoid her if we can. Let's go and see if there is a better lounge."
Having said that, he pulled Zhao Han and went to look for a room.
Zhao Han subconsciously glanced at Ji Yan and wanted to pull his hand out, but when he tried to pull it out without any movement, he simply gave up.
Now, in the whole team, the person who treats her best is Tan He. What will she do if she annoys him and no one takes care of her?
......
lounge.
Yu Yao helped Luo Mei to the sofa in the lounge and sighed, "Why scare them? Aren't you afraid that they will assassinate you?"
Luo Mei raised her chin with a look of contempt, "Humph, let them try!"
Yu Yao glanced at her but did not respond.
Luo Mei smiled, her eyes full of light.
"Isn't it because we don't want them to get involved? That little Bai Lian doesn't look good at first glance. How can we survive with her around? And the bunch of people at the back, which one of them isn't here to be a free bodyguard? They all look ugly but think they are beautiful! Don't even think about it when I'm here!"
"Just ignore them."
How could Yu Yao not know what those people were thinking?
But she would never risk her life for some unrelated people, nor would she accept moral blackmail.
It's not easy for her to manage herself.
......
The two chatted and ate something comfortably in the lounge, then leaned back on the sofa and closed their eyes to rest.
Especially Luo Mei, her mental strength was damaged and she must rest well to recover.
Fortunately, she had a good recovery ability and was basically fine by the next morning.
But in order to scare others, she pretended to be seriously injured and barely breathing.
Yu Yao even sponsored a box of powder out of mischief, so that Luo Mei could look more like one.
As soon as Luo Mei showed up, the hearts of those who were quietly watching chilled.
There were some brave ones, like a man and a woman, the same two people who had previously lived in B-3.
When the woman saw Yu Yao, she hurriedly pulled the elegant uncle who was holding two loaves of bread to chase after her.
She said to Yu Yao, "Hello, sister. My name is Lian Qiao. I heard from your classmates that your last name is Yu. Can I call you Sister Yu?"
Luo Mei's eyes were slightly cold, and she stared straight at Lian Qiao, which made Lian Qiao's heart skip a beat.
"Hey, sister, don't look at me like that. We just want to make friends with you. I have awakened a special ability that can condense golden cones to kill those...those monsters."
As she spoke later, her tone became noticeably more confident, as if she was certain that Yu Yao would look at her with admiration next.
Unexpectedly, what I got in return was Luo Mei's laughter.
"Sister, you are awesome. You must work hard to kill zombies and protect your handsome uncle~"
Yesterday, when Luo Mei was bored, she heard some gossip outside and found out that this handsome uncle was a high-ranking government official before the end of the world.
And this woman named Lian Qiao is his mistress.
Originally a gentle, considerate and considerate girl, she switched identities with a man after the end of the world.
She became a person with special powers, while her former sponsor is still an ordinary person.
Therefore, the way the two get along with each other has changed invisibly.
Hearing the deep meaning in Luo Mei's words, the elegant middle-aged man next to Lian Qiao was stunned for a moment, and a complex look flashed in his eyes.
Then he quickly recovered as usual and handed the bread in his hand to Yu Yao and Luo Mei, saying, "Thank you, this is a small gift from Qiao Qiao and me, I hope you don't mind it."
Lian Qiao also said: "I don't know if you have had breakfast, we only have these two breads left, please don't despise them."
Yu Yao refused directly, "Since these are the last two, just keep them for yourself."
Lian Qiao smiled gently and waved his hand, saying, "It's okay, eat. At worst we can go out and find some supplies."
This was said beautifully, but Luo Mei was so angry that she laughed.
"You're a nice person. When others were trying to get something for nothing, you still thought of giving us two a taste of the bread."
Lian Qiao's expression changed drastically, and he said hurriedly: "No, no, no, you misunderstood, I just said it casually, I didn't mean anything else."
"Okay, I appreciate your kindness, but you can keep the bread for yourselves. It's too precious a thought. We can't afford it." Luo Mei replied indifferently, and it was unclear what she was thinking.
Finally, she looked at Yu Yao, "Ayao? Let's go?"
"Um."
Neither of them took the two loaves of bread. Instead, they turned around, went downstairs and left the sales office in a swagger under the gaze of more than a dozen pairs of eyes.
......
The car she drove yesterday had been corroded by acid rain and was extremely damaged, so Yu Yao had to change it.
Sitting in the driver's seat was Luo Mei, who had been racing in various situations for many years and whose driving skills were much better than Yu Yao's.
Just then, Ji Yan knocked on the car window. After Yu Yao lowered the window, he leaned his arm on the window frame and handed her an intercom.
"I heard on the radio that a safe zone has been established in Lincheng, but the signal is not very good and we were unable to hear the specific location. We are likely to encounter search and rescue soldiers when we go out. If we encounter them, I hope we can alert the other party."
Upon hearing this, Yu Yao lowered her head and played with the intercom in her hand, then asked, "What is the maximum communication distance?"
"The best within ten kilometers, already debugged."
Ye Ziang's father loves to collect these, and they are all the best.
Ye Ziang often laughed at his collecting hobby, but he didn't expect that this time he saved their lives.
Yu Yao nodded, "Got it, we're going to Xinxin Shopping Mall."
Ji Yan took a few steps back, raised the corners of his lips, and responded in a gentle voice: "Okay, we won't disturb you."
"Um."
As soon as Yu Yao finished speaking, Luo Mei stepped on the accelerator and disappeared.
This made those who wanted to catch up from behind dumbfounded, and they could only grit their teeth and chase after him.
But Luo Mei was too fast and reckless enough.
If they encountered a zombie that dared to block the road, they would just knock it away, and they would not slow down even if the car was covered with blood, rotten flesh, and brain matter.
Despite such an impactful scene, Luo Mei did not feel uncomfortable at all. Instead, she felt slightly excited.
The two of them rushed along like this for half an hour and finally saw the Xinxin Shopping Mall building.
Xinxin Shopping Mall covers a large area, with six floors above and below ground, and many basement shops in the outer circle.
Logically speaking, such a place should have been occupied by zombies long ago.
But the good thing is that most of the buildings nearby are newly delivered high-rise buildings, which are still in the renovation stage, so there is not much traffic.
Luo Mei chose a spot to stop at the entrance of the shopping mall, and the two of them got out of the car directly.
There aren't many zombies around, but there are some.
Because they smelled the flesh and blood of living people, a few zombies would rush over with roars from time to time, but they were all easily dealt with by Yu Yao and Luo Mei.
Luo Mei was just as Yu Yao had expected, with great skills and ruthless attacks.
The exquisite scimitar in her hand was like a ghost, killing a small zombie with each blow.
......
Before entering the mall, Yu Yao checked the situation inside the mall. There were zombies inside, but there were also a few survivors.
Luo Mei also noticed it. While keeping an eye on the surroundings, she also leaned over and whispered in Yu Yao's ear: "There are quite a few zombies inside, and there are living people."
"Well, let's avoid them and go to the underground supermarket to get some supplies and leave."
"Okay~"
Luo Mei responded, walked forward carefully, and pushed open the glass door of the supermarket.
