Zhao Junru never got a reply from the person on the other side. He stood there, feeling very nervous and looking a little at a loss.
Gu Yicheng pretended not to see anything and had no intention of paying any attention. On the contrary, Ruan Ning, who was standing next to him, felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by a girl like this. She covered her mouth and coughed lightly, reminding the people around her not to ignore each other too much.
Even if you don't want to pay attention to them, at least tell them to leave as soon as possible and stop wasting their time.
In fact, this was not the first time they had encountered a small group seeking shelter. It was just that the process did not give them a very pleasant feeling. Even Ruan Ning began to be indifferent to such things.
Sometimes you help others out of kindness and don't ask for anything in return, but not everyone will be grateful.
Although the team hadn't added even one person in the past few days, they had saved a lot of people, including hundreds or even thousands of survivors.
Due to various reasons, many of these people had evil intentions after being rescued. However, the configuration and strength of their team made 90% of people afraid to try.
The other 10% who took action were either weak and ignorant enough to think that the Dawn Squad was not that powerful, and robbed them as fat sheep. Or they thought that their own team was very powerful and could easily swallow them up, and after defeating them, they would also take their supplies.
Of course, the outcome for these people will be the same - they will lose miserably and suffer the consequences in the end.
However, this bad experience still made Ruan Ning and everyone else feel a little annoyed. So after that, they could save people, but they would not bring any team with them on the road.
The Dawn Squad was not short of supplies. They had passed through at least a dozen cities, both large and small, along the way. They had collected a lot of supplies in these places. It was no exaggeration to say that all the supplies they had now were enough to supply a small base for several years.
So for them, there was no need to bring a team they didn't know at all just for supplies. Even when these people had been sneaking behind them, they didn't take the initiative to drive them away. But nodding in agreement and pretending not to see are two different attitudes. Responsibilities are also different. They didn't do anything that was thankless.
Seeing Ruan Ning looking at the other party curiously, Gu Yicheng raised his eyelids as if he had just seen this woman, and said coldly: "Go tell your captain that I am not interested in what you said. We do not provide shelter for any team."
His voice was a little cold, not the gentle tone he used when talking to the girl next to him. Zhao Junru clearly remembered that when he looked at the girl just now, his eyes were very gentle, and even though he knew that the look was not directed at her, it made her heart beat fast.
But now, Zhao Junru was so frightened by his cold and powerful aura that she stood there for a long time. The envy she had just felt for Ruan Ning also disappeared in an instant.
Such a person's gentleness will never belong to her.
"I, I'm leaving now. Sorry to bother you." Zhao Junru felt that his secret love was over before it even began. He didn't dare to stay here any longer and hurriedly trotted out of the sight of the Dawn Team.
Seeing this friendly-looking girl leave as if a beast was chasing her, Ruan Ning wondered if she should have persuaded this person to leave, maybe she could have said it more tactfully.
Look how scared she is now.
Gu Yicheng looked at the girl who still had time to care about others, and raised his thin lips, bringing back the topic that the two had not finished before the outsiders came: "Ningning, now that everyone has left, can you finish all the food?"
Seeing that he still remembered this incident, Ruan Ning looked like crying: "But I really can't eat anymore qaq."
Yes, that's right... Ruan Ning just reminded Gu Yicheng that someone was coming, trying to divert his attention, but in fact it was more to change the subject.
The man beside her had been trying various ways to get her to eat more these days, and he also insisted on nutritional balance, not even letting her be picky about food. Ruan Ning could clearly feel that she had gained several pounds recently.
Oh, if she continues like this, what will she do if she gets too fat to run? ! How can she outrun the zombies!!
Although she thought so, under his smiling gaze, Ruan Ning still ate all the food that Gu Yicheng handed over to her.
It wasn't that Ruan Ning was too nervous, it was because every time the people around her looked at her like this, their eyes seemed too gentle. It always made her feel particularly strange, so much so that a certain guess that had flashed through her mind before came to her mind again, and she could only use the action of eating to cover up the fluctuations in her heart.
No.
She must have been thinking wrong.
They are brother and sister.
That's right, they must be brother and sister. It can't be what she thought!!
the other side.
"Xiao Zhao, how is it? Did these people agree to our request?" Seeing Zhao Junru coming back from the negotiation, someone in the team of more than 30 people hurried over to ask.
Zhao Junru shook his head, looking a little depressed, and repeated what the man had just said to the captain, "Captain, the team over there is not interested in what we said, and they don't want to provide shelter to anyone."
The captain of this team from City A is a middle-aged man in his forties with stubble. He was exhausted after half a month of traveling. His dark skin was a little tired. He sighed when he heard her words, "Alas! If that's the case, it seems we can only think of another way."
Even so, where is the other choice now?
When they passed through a city on the way, they encountered a large group of zombies. They suffered heavy losses, nearly half of the people died, and there were few superpowers left. Although there are still more than 30 people in the team, in fact, the number of superpowers is less than one-third. Among them, there are also superpowers like Zhao Junru's water power, which has weak attack power. In addition, the rest are ordinary people without superpowers. These people are completely useless when killing zombies.
In order to get to the Yancheng base, they had to pass through the city. Zombies were evolving faster and faster, and becoming more and more powerful. A few days ago, they almost ran into a third-level zombie in the suburbs, but fortunately they ran fast and escaped.
Now when they pass through the city, you can imagine how many zombies their team will encounter. They can't just run away.
If they can't find a strong team to protect them and go on the road together, it will be too difficult for them to reach Yancheng Base in their current situation. It's not far from Yancheng Base now, just like the 81 levels of the journey to the West, they have gone through the first 80 levels with untold hardships, and now they are only one level away. The middle-aged man was unwilling to give up a large base with more stable development and go to a small base where he could not survive at any time.
He also wondered if the group thought the supplies were too little. In order to show their sincerity in seeking shelter, he had already taken out the most supplies the team could afford. If he gave them more, they would really have to eat tree bark on the roadside.
"Captain, we can't just give up like this. I think maybe Xiao Zhao didn't express himself clearly when he went there, or maybe he said or did something that made the people in this team unhappy, so they don't even want the supplies and turn us away." A woman with a gorgeous face said meaningfully from the side.
Zhou Yu is also a superpower. In fact, she originally wanted to take the initiative to apply for the negotiation with the team.
That team was able to fight their way out of a group of zombies, so they must be very strong. Zhou Yu had had many boyfriends before the end of the world, and she had seen countless people. Even though she was far away and couldn't see their faces clearly, she knew that most of them had good figures. Even if there was no benefit in being friends with such people, she was willing to have a one-night stand with them.
Zhou Yusi did not hide her thoughts. In the end times, seeking protection from a powerful superpower is also a means of survival.
Her former lover was the most powerful fire-type mutant in the A-city base. Unfortunately, he was unlucky and failed to escape from the base in time. He eventually died among the zombies. If he were still alive, he would have broken through to the third level by now, and her life wouldn't have to be so miserable.
Zhou Yu's little plan just failed to come true because the middle-aged man felt that Zhao Junru's appearance could make people relax more, so it would be more appropriate to send her to negotiate.
Zhou Yu didn't care. How could a little girl like Zhao Junru understand a man's mind? If she had gone, she would definitely not have been driven back in disgrace in just a few minutes.
After hearing what Zhou Yu said, Zhao Junru widened his eyes and explained anxiously: "I didn't! I just said what the captain told me before. I didn't say a word more."
Zhou Yu shrugged, indicating that she was just expressing her guess and had no other intention.
The middle-aged man considered Zhou Yu's suggestion with a frown on his face. Finally, he thought about the future of the team and decided to try again.
He patted her shoulder and said, "Zhou Yu, you should go again. Remember to be nicer this time. Whether our team can go to Yancheng Base depends on you."
Zhou Yu smiled happily, "Captain, don't worry. I will definitely bring you good news."
When Zhou Yu walked over, he took off his coat, leaving only the innermost piece of clothing. After thinking for a while, he unbuttoned another button.
Zhao Junru saw her series of actions from the side, with a look of surprise on her face, her eyes wide open.
