"I don't care. Anyway, you have to be responsible for the car issue. I think the car you are riding in now is pretty good. Why don't you give this one to us in exchange? And as for the supplies above, you must give us half of them as compensation for our mental suffering." The woman insisted.
Xie Fei was the youngest member of the team, just in his early twenties. He had never seen such an unreasonable person in his life. He was so angry that his face turned red. "You, you are dreaming!"
The woman's words were so rude that even the most irritable member of the team couldn't stand it. But thinking that they were still on the street, it wouldn't be good to continue arguing like this, so he had to step in and act as a peacemaker, saying, "Xie Fei, you should also stop talking. Let's leave here first, and don't attract zombies again."
Xie Fei snorted, feeling very angry. "They were the ones who started the trouble. We are so kind, but they are being treated as ungrateful. If we hadn't saved them, they would have been fed to the zombies in the gas station."
"I'm sorry, don't worry, we will find the car ourselves. We have already troubled you enough today." The man standing next to the couple couldn't help but said with a guilty look on his face.
"Yeah, I'm so sorry."
No one expected that a good thing would turn out like this. Not everyone in this world likes to take advantage of others. The other people present knew that this group of people had done their best to treat a group of strangers like this.
People helped them out of kindness, but now that something like this has happened, they no longer have the face to ask these people to take them in, so they all went to the safe zone together.
However, Liu Rou glanced at her young daughter in her arms. She was not like the other two grown men who could protect themselves if they acted alone, not to mention that she was carrying a child.
A mother must be strong. After thinking about it, she could only look at Xue Chen and his group with a thick face and pleaded, saying: "Little brother, can you take me and my child with you for a while? My daughter is still young, and I can't bear to see her die with me in the hands of these monsters. Don't worry, we will never bother you again once we reach the safe zone."
"Oh, and this..." The woman took off the necklace from her neck with her other hand that was not holding the child. "This is the necklace my husband and I bought when we got married. It should be worth some money. Just consider it as travel expenses from me and the baby to you."
The child in the woman's arms was just awakened by the quarreling around him. He didn't know what was happening around him. His young face was confused. It was not until he saw his mother crying that he became anxious, "Mom, don't cry... Huahua will call you back."
Liu Rou wiped away her tears, "Hua Hua, it's okay, Mommy didn't cry, she just accidentally let sand get into her eyes."
Ruan Ning and the members of Xue Chen's team were not heartless people. They couldn't bear to refuse a young child and a mother begging them like this.
"We won't take your necklace. We are going to the safe zone anyway, you and the child can stay with us."
There happened to be an empty seat on the bus, right next to Ruan Ning's seat. She had always sat alone at the back when there were fewer people. But the child was still young and didn't take up much space, so it shouldn't be a problem for two people to squeeze into this seat.
Hearing that they were still willing to take her and the child with them, Liu Rou expressed her sincere gratitude: "Thank you! Thank you!"
Seeing that she had been holding the child for a long time, Ruan Ning quickly took her and the child into the car.
As for that couple, they were still making trouble, but no one wanted to bother with them anymore.
Xie Fei was too lazy to say anything more. As soon as he showed his machete, which was still covered with zombie blood and flesh, the couple was so scared that they dared not even say a word, let alone make any excessive demands. To put it bluntly, this kind of people are bullies who only fear the strong and will not listen to reason. They will not stop until they take action.
The other two men at the gas station were not familiar with the couple, and it was because of these two people's unreasonable behavior that they lost an opportunity to travel with a strong team. It was already good enough that they didn't teach them a lesson. How could they possibly be with such people again?
So in the end, the six people who came out of the gas station divided into three groups and walked together.
****
Without someone holding them back, the team's journey went much more smoothly.
Ruan Ning took out a few packets of biscuits and a bottle of Yakult from her bag and said, "Sister Liu Rou, you and the child must be hungry since you didn't have breakfast. Eat something."
The other five people in the team were all men, and it was not easy for them to communicate. As the only woman in the team, Ruan Ning had to take care of the mother and daughter.
"Ms. Ruan, that's okay. We got some food from the gas station." Liu Rou was a tactful person. She knew that this group of people had no obligation to take her and the child to the safe zone, so she didn't dare to bother them too much.
Huahua glanced at the Yakult in her beautiful sister's hand, tugged at Liurou's clothes, and said with desire, "Mom..."
Ruan Ning smiled and gave the Yangleduo directly to the child, "This is not a good thing. Now we are together, so Sister Liu Rou, you don't have to be so polite."
Liu Rou looked at her daughter's eyes and finally did not refuse, "Huahua, come here and thank this sister."
Huahua said obediently, "Thank you, sister."
Ruan Ning actually liked this mother and daughter. When she was at the gas station, she found that the little girl named Huahua was very sensible and would not cry when her mother told her not to. Moreover, Liu Rou protected the child very well. Every time the zombies came, she would reach out to cover the child's eyes to prevent her from seeing those things.
Especially in contrast to that unreasonable couple, Ruan Ning liked them even more. Moreover, it was not easy for a woman to raise a child in the end times, and there were people who abandoned their children in order to survive.
Before the end of the world, there were cars everywhere on the road, and not all roads were smooth. Sometimes they had to take a detour or get off the car to clear obstacles before they could pass.
Along the way, they also encountered many people who came to the front of the car to ask for help, but they did not agree. Not to mention that there was no room in the car, if they encountered a few more people like the couple, they would not be able to handle it and would cause themselves a lot of trouble.
After many thrilling and dangerous journeys, they finally arrived at the safe zone on the afternoon of the fifth day after setting out from the community.
