After the confrontation, Long Da became a street cleaner, while his four henchmen lay stiffly to one side, their chests noticeably sunken.
He pushed the cars on both sides of the road aside with his hands to clear the way. The woman who had just been so proud and arrogant was now standing close to Long Da, helping him push the cars, but her face was pale and her body was trembling.
That's terrifying!
Liu Mei couldn't help but glance at the man sitting in the distance. Just seeing his cloaked back made her legs tremble even more violently.
"What are you looking at? Put some effort into it! You're just a hindrance!" Long Da roared at Liu Mei in a low voice. Damn it, if this unlucky woman hadn't provoked this man, they wouldn't have had to pay such a high price!
Long Da's expression was filled with resentment and hatred, but Liu Mei couldn't tell from his bruised and swollen face. She shrank back, swallowed hard, and whispered, "Baby, don't you think something's a little strange?"
Long Da said impatiently, "What's so strange!"
"Zombies? When we came here, the streets were full of zombies. We barely managed to hide in the mall to avoid them. Why can't we see a single one now?"
Long Da looked around after hearing this and realized that Liu Mei was right. He had been so focused on how to kill the man that he hadn't noticed anything.
Long Da's big, green bean-sized eyes darted around, and he leaned down to Liu Mei and said, "Zombies are very sensitive to human sounds. Try pretending to be injured and screaming later."
Liu Mei nodded. If they could really attract zombies, they might be able to escape in the chaos.
Chen Ke was studying a map of the city, which was a shortcut to the safe base. The south was the entrance for refugees, and the north was the temporary base for government troops. Chen Ke marked both locations.
Just as he lifted the pen, he heard a woman's cry of pain behind him. He turned around and looked.
The woman was seen clutching her foot and struggling painfully on the ground, as if she had smashed it.
Liu Mei looked at Long Da in disbelief, her tear-filled eyes filled with angry questioning.
While keeping an eye on Chen Ke's reaction, Long Da pretended to help Liu Mei up and comforted her, "Honey, what if we take it too seriously and that person finds out? You don't want us both to die here, do you?"
Liu Mei bit her lip and swallowed her groan. A piercing pain shot through her feet. Looking down, she saw that bright red blood had soaked through her shoes. Without even looking, she could imagine the gruesome sight of flesh and blood inside.
She sat on the ground, panting, leaning against the car, when Yu Guangzhong, the man in the cloak, walked over.
Long Da concealed a wicked smile, looked up at Chen Ke with a pained and panicked expression, and said, "Brother, no, big brother, look, my woman accidentally hurt her foot—"
"It hit his right foot." Long Da was interrupted by Chen Ke before he could finish speaking.
He chuckled awkwardly, "Yes, I smashed my right foot. Look at all this blood—"
"Can you still drive?" Chen Ke interrupted Long Da again.
Liu Mei's face turned even paler, and she was drenched in cold sweat as if she had just been pulled out of the water. Her lips trembled for a long time, but she couldn't utter a single word.
Upon seeing this, Long Da immediately exclaimed excitedly, "I—"
"I can!" Liu Mei finally answered before Long Da could.
Long Da's eyes darkened. "Baby, your foot is injured, why are you trying to be brave? I'll do it, you just rest."
But Liu Mei seemed not to hear her and gritted her teeth to repeat to Chen Ke, "I can drive."
Chen Ke nodded and left.
As soon as Chen Ke left, "Slap!" Long Da immediately slapped Liu Mei across the face. "Damn it! You bitch, can't you hear what I'm saying? You're trying to kill us! With a foot like that, can you even step on the brake or the gas pedal? Huh!?"
Liu Mei's head lolled to the side from the slap, her ears rang, and she tasted rust on her tongue.
"When that person comes back, you tell him you can't drive it, understand? If you don't tell him, hmph..." The threat at the end was self-evident.
But Liu Mei kept her head down and didn't say a word.
However, Long Daliao didn't dare disobey; he could crush her with one finger!
If it weren't for him since the apocalypse, this woman would have died countless times under other men.
Long Da grinned and kissed Liu Mei on the cheek, thinking to himself what a pity, such a beautiful face and figure were going to be eaten by zombies.
Long Da's plan was good. Anyway, the road has been cleared. As soon as he gets in the car, he will step on the gas and speed away. Let that strange man and that stupid woman wait to die here!
He was sure that Liu Mei's loud screams, combined with the pungent smell of fresh blood, would attract zombies.
The sound of a car engine rang out, and Chen Ke drove up in a Hummer around the street corner.
Long Da was overjoyed; this car was fantastic!
After stopping next to the two, Chen Ke got out of the driver's seat and gestured for the woman to get in.
While fawning over Liu Mei, Long Da gripped her hand tightly as she was about to get up. "Brother, she can't drive. Really, look at her feet. When the zombies are chasing her, she won't even be able to step on the gas. She'll just be waiting to be eaten by the zombies."
"I can, I can drive," Liu Mei said urgently.
Long Da was furious that Liu Mei dared to disobey him. He raised his hand to slap her again, but Chen Ke blocked him with one hand. Then, Chen Ke tightened his grip and made Long Da cry out in pain and beg for mercy.
"Get in the car," Chen Ke said to Liu Mei, who was on the ground.
Upon seeing this, Liu Mei quickly limped onto the Hummer.
She has to be useful. No matter how much Long Da retaliates later, it doesn't matter. If she's not the one driving now, she definitely won't live to see tomorrow.
Liu Mei thought Chen Ke wanted her to drive them out of the city, but she didn't expect him to take out an iron chain and tie Long Da to the back of the car.
While struggling violently, Long Da shouted in terror, "What are you doing? I, I won't drive anymore, I won't drive, I'll sit quietly in the seat, brother, brother, please, I was wrong, I was wrong."
Chen Ke ignored him, and after tying Long Da up, he hung his four henchmen neatly on both sides of the car like pork.
This familiar scene made Long Da even more terrified and desperate.
He... he's using him as human bait to lure zombies!
"No, big brother, what we said before was all a joke. I never did anything like that. Please, let me down. I really know I was wrong. We shouldn't have spoken so rudely to you. I'll kowtow to you, I'll serve you like a slave, I'll do whatever you say..."
Long Da was still screaming and begging for mercy, when Chen Ke walked to the driver's seat and said to Liu Mei, "Make sure you close the windows properly later. If you get eaten by a zombie because of a mistake, there's no going back. Okay, wait here for a while. When the zombies come, head over there and drive into the dead-end alley."
"Dead, dead end?" Liu Mei asked in a trembling voice.
"What? Don't you want to drive?"
"No, no, I opened it, then, does that mean I... can't get out either?" Liu Mei's face was already covered in tears, but she was still trying her best to control her emotions and not break down.
"Just lock the windows and stay inside."
