Chu Yunxiao glanced at the car following behind through the rearview mirror. His expression showed no joy, but rather a hint of regret.
"I like the three of us to be together now, and I don't like being disturbed by others. I'm even happier if they don't follow us."
He didn't want to see Liu Anran having to be so careful in everything she did; he preferred her to do whatever she wanted, as she pleased.
Chu Yunxiao frowned as he thought of this. He was not strong enough, which was why Liu Anran was afraid of having her spatial ability discovered and that she was a multi-elemental ability user.
Liu Anran was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then burst into laughter.
Seeing Liu Anran suddenly burst into laughter, Yunlong asked curiously, "Mom, what are you laughing at?"
"Mom is happy," Liu Anran said cheerfully.
Yunlong blinked in confusion, still not understanding why Liu Anran was so happy.
Hearing Liu Anran's cheerful laughter, Chu Yunxiao's furrowed brows relaxed, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
Old Liu looked at the car in front and breathed a sigh of relief; he had finally caught up with Chu Yunxiao.
"Why are you in such a hurry to get going, boss? Can't you stay in the village for one night?" Luo Yuyu asked, frowning.
"It's none of your business what the boss does. If you're unhappy, you can leave the team. Nobody's forcing any of you to follow him," Old Liu said expressionlessly.
Luo Yuyu dared not leave alone, and quickly said, "Uncle Liu, I was just saying it casually."
“Yu Yu, the boss won’t want a subordinate who questions him, much less keep an incompetent person by his side,” Old Liu said bluntly.
Luo Yuyu knew that Lao Liu was reminding him, and said, "Uncle Liu, I know what to do from now on."
Old Liu smiled, hoping that Luo Yuyu understood.
Chen Biao and Liu Xiong exchanged a glance. They weren't stupid; they could tell that Chu Yunxiao was already dissatisfied with them and even intended to abandon them.
Bai Lu glanced at Yu Yu and her eyes flickered. Chu Yunxiao's attitude towards her was very cold, he didn't take her seriously at all, and he would never let her come with him. Luo Yu Yu had a spatial ability, if she could trick him into leaving with her...
Bai Lu said enviously, "Luo Yuyu, you are a space ability user, and you are popular wherever you go. I wish I were a space ability user."
"My space is limited, and my abilities are lacking, so don't try to make me happy," Luo Yuyu said.
Bai Lu said, "Luo Yuyu, after the apocalypse broke out, many people turned into zombies. Among those who didn't turn into zombies, how many were superhumans? You underestimate yourself too much."
An Qiao snorted coldly: "Luo Yuyu is self-aware enough to know that he is not capable enough, so he is looking for a backer to protect him. You've said so much because you're interested in his spatial ability and want to take him away with you!"
Bai Lu was not angry when An Qiao exposed her little scheme. Instead, she calmly said, "If Luo Yuyu wants to leave with me, I will definitely take him with me."
An Qiao said disdainfully, "If you go with him, you can't even protect yourself. Why should he take you with him? Just because you're pretty?"
A cold glint flashed in Bai Lu's dark eyes, but it disappeared in an instant before she returned to normal and said coldly, "An Qiao, don't underestimate a young man's potential. Just because I'm not doing well now doesn't mean I won't do well in the future."
An Qiao scoffed, "A femme fatale like you who uses others as shields, anyone willing to follow you is either a fool or someone who's attracted to your beauty and wants to sleep with you."
Bai Lu almost couldn't resist slapping An Qiao across the face. Her murderous intent towards An Qiao intensified, and she wished she could kill her right now to vent her resentment.
Luo Yuyu was very wary of Bai Lu, thinking that she had not only killed her companions, but also Gangzi and Xiao Wang.
“Bai Lu, the boss wants you to get off the bus when we reach the next town. Brother Liu has taken a liking to your beauty. If you’re willing to come with him, he might be able to plead with the boss to let you stay in our group,” Luo Yuyu said.
Liu Xiong glared at Luo Yuyu with displeasure. "Luo Yuyu, shut your stinking mouth. If you like Bai Lu and want to keep her, go ask the boss yourself. Don't use me as an excuse."
Chu Yunxiao was already unhappy that he had left Bai Lu behind. If he were to suggest that Bai Lu continue to stay in the team, it would definitely anger Chu Yunxiao. Wasn't Luo Yuyu trying to harm him?
Seeing that Liu Xiong was angry, Luo Yuyu awkwardly shut his mouth and wisely dared not say another word.
Bai Lu's face was a mixture of pale and ashen; she had been rejected.
Thinking about how she used to be admired and now being openly disliked, the anger in her heart erupted like a volcano, and she couldn't stop it. Her clenched fists trembled slightly.
Bai Lu tried her best to suppress her anger, lowering her eyes to conceal the rage and ruthlessness surging within them.
An Qiao looked at the cold aura emanating from Bai Lu and sneered. It seemed she hated them.
"Don't look so sad. We haven't done anything to wrong you. We feed you and take you in. You can't be ungrateful. Even a dog knows to be grateful. Don't be worse than an animal."
Bai Lu tried her best to keep her voice steady as she said, "I am extremely grateful that you took me in."
“Are you also trying to say that we watched women being humiliated and did nothing?” An Qiao said, pointing to her face. “Look at my face, it could scare little kids to tears if I went out like this, so who can I blame?”
"Bai Lu, thankfully Liu Anran is alright, otherwise you wouldn't be sitting in our car right now."
After An Qiao finished speaking, she closed her eyes. As a woman, she felt sorry for her plight, but at the same time, she hated her. If it weren't for her, she wouldn't have ended up being disfigured.
“Bai Lu, I know you hate us and are worried that I will tell everyone about the rape you were raped,” Old Liu said.
Bai Lu paused slightly, not expecting Lao Liu to guess her concerns.
"Don't worry, we definitely won't talk about what happened that day. After all, it wasn't something to be proud of," Old Liu continued.
Old Liu knew that a woman's hatred and taboos could lead her to do many crazy things, which is why he said those words.
Chen Biao said, "We're not that despicable as to poke at a woman's sore spot."
Luo Yuyu scratched his head. It seemed like none of them had mentioned Bai Lu being raped!
Seeing that the road ahead was blocked by cars and zombies were wandering back and forth in the traffic, Chu Yunxiao had no choice but to stop the car.
Liu Anran looked at the densely packed cars, there must be dozens of them! And at a glance, there were also dozens of zombies.
"Yunxiao, there are so many cars. How long will it take us to move them one by one? And some of them aren't even zombies."
“This is a highway, and there are a lot of cars going back and forth. If there’s a traffic jam, there will definitely be a lot of cars stuck. But we can take this opportunity to collect gasoline,” Chu Yunxiao said.
Liu Anran looked down at the cliff beside the road. Below was a bottomless abyss; if she fell, she would surely be smashed to pieces.
