Chapter 725: The Right Time
An Ran and Zhan Lian walked forward and came to the back of the Baihua Hotel, where they came to an inconspicuous two-story house. There was a small yard outside the house, which was full of green plants and red flowers. The roof was also covered with green plants, and there was a plant similar to a serpentine hanging down from the roof. The spikes on the serpentine emitted a sharp light in the sun.
When they reached the yard, An Ran finished talking about what happened in the hospital. The reason why she felt bad about that memory was because that period in the hospital was the most difficult memory in her life.
All the inner struggles and all the subversion of cognition happened in less than a month. Too much information was flooded in that month. One wrong step would lead to lifelong regret.
"It's all my fault."
Zhan Lian stood in front of the yard, looking down with a look of annoyance on his face. He held the baby in one hand and An Ran's hand in the other.
"I'm sorry, I feel so guilty, I owe you too much, and I showed up too late."
"No, you showed up at just the right time."
An Ran smiled. If Zhan Lian had appeared too early, she might not be as strong as she is today. If he appeared too late, she might no longer need him and might even become more radical in her thoughts. If Zhan Lian continued to pester her, she would definitely use force to deal with him.
So, she said that Zhan Lian appeared at neither early nor late, just right, at this moment, An Ran felt pretty good.
"I was just a little melancholy. The end of the world had just arrived. If I didn't have the baby, I don't think I would have been able to adapt to the end of the world so quickly. At that time, I had no other thoughts. I just wanted to survive and live with my child. So Sister Zhen and He Wen were beyond my ability. I couldn't afford them."
Of course, she hoped that Hu Zhen and He Wen could survive. After all, Hu Zhen and He Wen had accompanied her for a long time during those long nights filled with zombies. But An Ran did not feel that she should bear any guilt for not looking for Hu Zhen and He Wen.
After all, Hu Zhen and He Wen were not her responsibility.
As soon as she finished speaking, a loud bell rang from the tallest watchtower in Baihua City. Both she and Zhan Lian's expressions froze, as there was an attack from the south.
Baihua City has only been built for two or three months. During this period, all attacks from mutant animals from the east, south, west, north, or underground will be dealt with by Rouhua. If wood-type zombies appear in Baihua City, they will also be easily dealt with.
Because there are no ordinary plants in Baihua City. All there are are the roots of fleshy flowers and the fat thorn balls that have been replanted on Anran’s roof.
Therefore, when wood zombies appear in the city, most of them are isolated and helpless and can be easily dealt with.
So the big bell in the watchtower was never rung.
An Ran took the baby from Zhan Lian's arms, and Zhan Lian quickly turned around and went to the city wall. The older children in the city were holding a gong in their hands, walking through the streets and alleys, beating the gong and shouting,
"Power users, assemble! Power users, assemble! Support is needed in the south! Support is needed in the south! Be alert, be alert."
The big kid holding the gong is often followed by a bunch of smaller kids. Everyone treats the attack from the south as if it were the New Year. Every child’s face is filled not with fear but excitement!
