Chapter 176
The people of this world don't know, but Ruan Qing, who has read the entire novel, knows very well.
The biggest villain after the apocalypse, or rather the zombie king, came from Beijing, and the first place his zombie army attacked was Beijing.
The Beijing base, originally the center of national power, possessed top-tier resources and talent. Even if humanity were to rebuild its home in the future, it should be led by the Beijing base.
However, it was because of the zombie king that the Beijing base was destroyed, which gave the base led by the protagonist Xiao Mingxu a chance later on.
Most of the talents who escaped from the Beijing base also went to Xiao Mingxu's base on their own initiative.
In addition, Ruan Qing strongly opposed everyone going to Beijing for another reason: the male protagonist Xiao Mingxu's team obtained their opportunities in Suzhou and gradually took control of the entire base.
If they went to Beijing, they probably wouldn't have had the chance to reach the center of power.
She also wanted to rise to a higher position, not like the male protagonist who became a base chief or leader, but at least someone who could have a say in the base. Therefore, they were determined not to go to Beijing, but to go to Suzhou.
"I feel like there are more and more zombies outside. It would be too dangerous for us to go to Beijing. Why don't we go to Suzhou next door? There are plenty of supplies there, and our chances of survival are much higher!"
Ruan Qing expressed her thoughts with a sincere suggestion, but as soon as she finished speaking, Wang Tao was the first to object.
"When it comes to resources, Beijing is definitely the richest! After all, it's the core of the country. Believe me, at the very beginning of the apocalypse, most of the manpower and resources across the country were being transferred to Beijing."
"Beijing's military strength is definitely the strongest! Its future science and technology will also inevitably be leading!"
"I think Beijing is still the best, with the highest safety level. As for the dangers on the road? In the early stages of the apocalypse, it's still possible to try to get to Beijing. With a few of us ability users, the probability of something going wrong is very low. But in the later stages, it will be almost impossible to get to Beijing!"
Wang Tao's words were unanimously agreed upon by Qi Xiu and Qu Chao.
If Ruan Qing hadn't read the novel, she would have agreed too, but who could have imagined that the Zombie King would suddenly appear and lead an army of zombies to besiege Beijing?
"I advise you to think it over again. Beijing is a good city, but it's very difficult for us to get ahead. It's better to be a big fish in a small pond than a small fish in a big pond. Why not try your luck in another city?"
Ruan Qing anxiously tried to persuade her, but Rong Rong just smiled and remained silent.
She knew that Beijing would be destroyed in the future, but she still had to go. Was she going to come just to report back to the transmigrated girl? That would be so boring. It would be more meaningful if she could do something else.
Beijing has a large population and possesses the country's most advanced science and technology. It's such a pity that it was destroyed by zombies.
Although the protagonist led humanity to rebuild their home in the end, the story never mentioned how many years humanity's technological level had regressed.
In contrast, human living standards returned directly to the agricultural era.
With insufficient productivity, humanity was divided into superhumans and ordinary people, creating a hierarchy. Slavery reappeared, and people seemed to have defeated the zombies and survived.
But in reality, the suffering of most ordinary people has not ended.
Therefore, Rong Rong thought that if she could help Beijing avoid the crisis and preserve a large population and talent pool, wouldn't the lives of ordinary people be less miserable in the future?
With Rong Rong's insistence and Xiao Mingxu's agreement, no matter what Ruan Qing said, it couldn't change the fact that they were going to Beijing.
Watching Xiao Mingxu and the others busily loading supplies onto the vehicle, and then watching Rong Rong leisurely drinking her beverage while sitting to the side waiting.
Ruan Qing felt a mix of emotions, along with a deep sense of powerlessness.
She felt she had tried her best to avoid conflict with the female lead, but no matter what she did, the female lead could easily ruin it.
Ironically, the female protagonist doesn't need to put in any effort at all; she only needs to say a few words, and everything will go according to the other party's wishes.
How terrifying is a female lead like this?
It's so terrifying that even when she's facing the other person, she's inexplicably bewitched. How unfair is God? He already let her transmigrate, so he should let her be the female lead.
Why is there still an original female lead? Why is she constantly constrained and encounters setbacks?
Ruan Qing screamed inwardly in frustration, but in the end, she obediently followed everyone and got into the car.
She knew there were opportunities in Suzhou, but she certainly couldn't go alone. There was no other way; she couldn't do without the male and female leads.
Ruan Qing gritted her teeth in resentment as she sat in the back seat of the car.
Qi Xiu, the driver of the car, and Qu Chao, the passenger, were also gritting their teeth.
In front of the sedan is a motorhome with an understated exterior but a luxurious and comfortable interior, complete with all the necessary amenities.
The RV can only seat four people, which was Xiao Mingxu's requirement, just so that Rong Rong could sit more comfortably.
Actually, it's possible for everyone to sit on it, but it would be very crowded.
Of the four seats, Rong Rong, Xiao Mingxu, and Yin Wang each occupied one, while Wang Tao squeezed into the remaining seat by claiming to have superb culinary skills and an eager request to prepare afternoon tea for Rong Rong.
This was what Qi Xiu hated most. He had a premonition that if he didn't have some outstanding skills, he would probably never be able to compete with Wang Tao and Rong Rong to ride in the same car.
The car moved slowly throughout the afternoon, stopping frequently to clear away zombies blocking the way or to clear away vehicles involved in chain collisions.
But none of this affected Rong Rong, who was taking a nap on the small bed in the RV.
She still had earplugs in her ears, which Xiao Mingxu had specially found, just in case she was disturbed by the roars of the zombies.
When I woke up, there were snacks and afternoon tea that Wang Tao had carefully prepared.
After enjoying her meal, Rong Rong sat by the window and admired the scenery along the way...
Sorry, there's no glamour, just the rotting faces of zombies!
Rong Rong swiftly pulled open the curtains, but quickly closed them again in a second. Her startled expression made Wang Tao chuckle to himself.
Xiao Mingxu was driving in front, and could only see Rong Rong through the mirror and the window.
Only in secluded corners would he dare to boldly cast his gaze upon Rong Rong.
Only then do they dare to fully express their emotions.
His eyes held a long-suppressed infatuation, longing, and a desire that would grow wildly after their reunion.
Suddenly, in the rearview mirror, Rong Rong's stunningly beautiful face was replaced by a pair of cold, murderous eyes.
Xiao Mingxu's gaze sharpened, neither flinching nor avoiding, engaging in a fierce eye battle with his opponent.
It was a silent war, with murderous intent quietly spreading inside the car.
Only when Wang Tao's cheerful voice rang out did the two of them turn their gazes away and stare coldly at Wang Tao.
"Rongrong, what do you want to eat tonight? Sauerkraut and pork intestines? Sweet and sour fish? Grilled potatoes? Crab roe and vermicelli casserole?"
Wang Tao, holding the menu, watched with satisfaction as Rong Rong gazed at him intently, her eyes and heart filled with him! (It was just an illusion!)
They could do everything Wang Tao said. Not only did they have all the ingredients and seasonings, but they also had a fairly large freezer in the car, which was already packed full.
For the nth time, Rong Rong was glad she had chosen to go with the male lead's team, and then she ordered food without hesitation.
For most people, this would mean saving every penny, even splitting a single portion of food into ten. But Wang Tao and Xiao Mingxu never considered that.
Everything should be done to make Rong Rong more comfortable. As for what to do if there isn't enough food?
Of course we'll try our best to collect it! Surely we don't want to make Rong Rong suffer?
