"By the way, why is there still a bullet in your gun?" Jiang Yuan asked curiously.
"This?" Ning Yanlan blinked, teasingly asking, "Want to know?"
"Don't tell me that bullet was saved for yourself?" Jiang Yuan suddenly remembered a TV series he often watched, where the assassin would save the last bullet for himself.
"Smart!" Ning Yanlan punched Jiang Yuan in the chest, and said dejectedly, "I didn't tell you the truth, but my situation was actually very passive! Sometimes choosing death is a relief, like last night!"
"So, that bullet really was meant for me!"
Jiang Yuan listened to Ning Yanlan's words and waited for her to finish before asking, "Then why did you give the last bullet to that old lecher?"
"I just suddenly don't want to die anymore!" Ning Yanlan simply shrugged, then laughed and said, "Suicide is pretty much the same as being killed. If you run into an opponent like you, you'll be disgusted even after you die!"
"Me?" Jiang Yuan asked, puzzled.
"Yeah! I don't want to die and have people dancing on my grave!" Ning Yanlan suddenly started doing cool dance moves, but stopped awkwardly after a few steps when she felt unwell. "And you, what's your goal in living?"
"A goal?" Jiang Yuan frowned and thought for a moment. "Does living well count?"
"That doesn't count, what kind of goal is that!" Ning Yanlan said with a laugh.
"So, does finding a girlfriend and living a good life count as a goal?" Jiang Yuan simply added a little.
Ning Yanlan: "..."
“Really, I think this is my goal!” Jiang Yuan said earnestly.
"You have photos? Let me see if you two look like a couple! Let's see if you can get together!" Ning Yanlan nodded to Jiang Yuan.
"Uh, it seems like they're all saved on my phone!" Jiang Yuan said speechlessly.
"Then you're in trouble. If you don't see her for three or five years, you'll forget what your girlfriend looks like!" Ning Yanlan joked.
Although some modern technology has been preserved in this world, very little of it has survived; only a few remain within the safe zone.
Moreover, the communication system was the most affected. The disappearance of the sun and moon, the appearance of the Golden Gate and the Crystal Monument caused a dramatic change in the Earth's magnetic field, rendering all communication systems ineffective and even directly damaging the Earth itself under unknown forces. This is one of the important reasons for the return to the era of warlords.
"Then I'll find the prettiest one!" Jiang Yuan joked.
"Haha, are you talking about me being the most beautiful?" Ning Yanlan smiled smugly.
The two were in a lighthearted mood, not at all like people struggling to survive in the apocalypse.
"So many monsters!"
The two stopped about 200 meters away from Xujia Village. They also valued their lives, and as they had said before, they would only help the people of Xujia Village to the best of their ability.
“Living in a place surrounded by monsters like this, we might survive today, but we won’t survive tomorrow!” Jiang Yuan said coldly.
Ning Yanlan nodded in agreement, "In the face of a true cataclysmic disaster, only by banding together can the bloodline of the race be preserved. They are only concerned with immediate safety and have no future at all!"
"There seem to be only about thirty people!" Jiang Yuan pointed down, then suddenly caught sight of something in another direction. "Look over there!"
Ning Yanlan followed the gaze, her eyes darkening. "These people want to escape?"
It's one thing for the two of them to run away, since they were just strangers. But it's a bit much that people from the same village and on the same front can't work together.
"I wonder how many monsters are hiding here!" Jiang Yuan focused his attention on the battle, which was evident from the Tang sword he gripped tightly.
Seemingly in response to Jiang Yuan, the five bull-like monsters began to attack the outermost houses of Xujia Village.
"The distance is too far, the Heavenly Eye cannot detect the opponent's strength!" Jiang Yuan received this information after using the Heavenly Eye for a short while.
"It looks like birds are coming from over there!" Ning Yanlan pointed to the roadside.
Sure enough, Jiang Yuan looked and saw dozens of Blood-bellied Eagles flying towards Xu Family Village.
The river that encircles Xujia Village is teeming with sharp-toothed fish, and ordinary monsters dare not come near it. Only birds can descend from the sky to Xujia Village.
As for those bovine monsters, they must have been created from the domestic cattle raised in Xujia Village. The once docile domestic cattle have become mad cattle, and this is only a part of the monsters. The created monsters are everywhere, from small rats to fierce tigers. These are all creatures that can be created.
"Call those people over! Otherwise, Xu Family Village won't be able to hold them off, and they'll be picked off one by one!" Jiang Yuan pointed to another group of people slowly moving towards the mountainside.
Human perception is far inferior to that of monsters; such a large movement of people would only make them easy targets for the monster horde.
The two ran up to the group, and Jiang Yuan shouted from a distance of about twenty meters, "Are you just going to abandon your companions and run away like this?"
"It's you two?" One of them looked at the two with a mixture of surprise and fear.
