Yang Jinxia could never have imagined that what would greet her was a gunshot.
Her mind went blank, she tripped and fell to the ground in a very awkward manner.
After a few seconds, she realized that she was not shot. She was furious. She was almost shot. The man looked a little scared and asked her, "Are you okay? I thought you were a monster, so I shot you. I'm sorry, I didn't scare you." Then he stretched out his hand to her.
She suppressed her anger, but her planned appearance had been shattered by the bullet, so the conversation could not continue.
As she was thinking, she stood up and, while brushing off the dirt on her skirt, she began to think, "Where is this place?"
"have no idea."
She asked again, "Who are you?"
"What about you?" the other party asked instead of answering.
She was startled. From this sentence, she clearly felt a sense of dissatisfaction and a slight sense of confrontation.
Yang Jinxia, have you been living a comfortable life for so long that you have forgotten how to face a crisis?
She immediately calmed down and said, "My name is Xia Jinse."
She subconsciously gave a pseudonym, even though she never accepted interviews and was usually very low-key, and her name was not known to the public. However, in such an environment, she still chose to conceal her identity.
Next, she finally knew the man's name, which was as ordinary as his appearance: Chen Xu.
She pretended to be meeting him for the first time and chatted for a while to lower his guard.
Then, Chen Xu proposed the idea of forming a team, but she did not agree immediately and said she needed to think about it.
After calming down, she analyzed the current situation. In this ruin, she had to rely on the other party to survive. The other party had guns and supplies, which meant that he had absolute initiative.
It can be said that she was at an absolute disadvantage. This was absolutely not what she wanted, and she had to regain some initiative.
The only thing she could take advantage of was the innate advantages of being a beautiful woman.
…………
When it was time to eat, Yang Jinxia asked for some privacy while eating some hard compressed biscuits. This was also a test of his attitude towards her.
As a result, Chen Xu's words made her realize that she had met an anti-feminist straight man, which she found quite tricky.
Next, she was even more surprised to learn that Chen Xu had hidden an important piece of information.
Is he really a policeman?
Suddenly, she began to doubt her own judgment.
How could a normal young man be so wary of a pretty, harmless-looking person of the opposite sex? It would be even more impossible if the other person was a police officer.
Considering the other party's familiarity with guns, she felt a huge sense of crisis.
On the way to the settlement, she said nothing, thinking back on Chen Xu's words and actions to analyze his character.
This man is either not interested in women.
Or, he is a straight man with strong self-control.
Intuitively, she was more inclined to the latter, because the way he looked at her was the same as any other normal man, just more restrained.
In such an apocalyptic environment, he could still maintain such restraint. Either he had a very high moral standard, or he was a pervert. In any case, he was not a normal person.
After walking for more than ten minutes, she felt a little tired and her soles were a little sore.
She said nothing and persisted with gritted teeth.
She knew in her heart that he was indifferent to her beauty, which meant that she was completely dispensable to him. This was already very dangerous.
Fortunately, Chen Xu took the initiative to take a break several times, which allowed her to persevere.
Even so, both of her feet were worn out, and every step she took was a burning pain. Most of the sweat on her forehead was due to the pain.
Finally, they arrived at the settlement, only to find that it had been occupied by monsters.
"What should I do?" she asked.
Finally, Chen Xu made up his mind, "Go in and kill them."
At this point, she realized this was a great opportunity and demanded, "Give me a gun."
A gun is a symbol of force. With a gun in hand, the weight of a person is completely different.
"Have you ever fired a gun?" Chen Xu asked.
However, she didn't, and could only say, "I don't want to watch myself being eaten by a monster."
Chen Xu rejected her and said, "I won't let you die in front of me."
Still failed.
She felt annoyed. This man was simply unyielding.
Seeing Chen Xu walking towards the settlement, she had no choice but to follow him, holding a stick as a weapon, which was better than nothing.
Bang, bang, bang, bang! When they were about 20 meters away, Chen Xu opened fire. Five green-skinned monsters that looked like gorillas at the door were shot and fell to the ground one after another.
Yang Jinxia saw it clearly from behind. All five monsters were shot in the head. She was shocked by the domineering shooting skills.
Reality is not a movie. In actual combat, it is impossible to have a perfect shooting skill.
Who is this Chen Xu? She suppressed her doubts and followed him closely. Now was not the time to dwell on this. Besides, the more accurate his shooting was, the more secure she would be. She should be thankful.
After entering the settlement, Chen Xu used a robotic arm to push the heavy door and closed it with a click.
"Chen Xu, here is a diagram of the overall layout."
Yang Jinxia was not idle. She ran to the window of the guard room next to her and looked inside. Soon, she found something valuable and shouted.
Upon hearing this, Chen Xu hurried over and saw the layout diagram on the wall. He praised, "Well done."
She asked, "Where shall we go first?"
Chen Xu wrote down the picture and said, "Control Center."
The overall layout of the settlement is not complicated. The control center is in the middle. You can get there by walking along the straight road at the entrance.
The two of them set off immediately, with Chen Xu in front and Yang Jinxia behind.
"Actually, you didn't have to come in." Chen Xu suddenly spoke.
Yang Jinxia said, "We are teammates, aren't we?"
Suddenly, she felt a sense of alarm in her heart. She looked up and saw a black shadow swooping down, targeting Chen Xu in front of her.
"Be careful." She shouted and pushed Chen Xu away. Then, a gust of wind blew over her head, and her arm was hooked by something before she could retract it. Then a huge force pulled her and lifted her off the ground.
Bang! A gunshot rang out.
A stream of warm liquid splashed on her face, and she lost her balance and fell to the ground.
