When Cheng Jinzhi and Lu Ci caught up, they saw the two of them squatting on the highway surrounded by zombie corpses, holding hands affectionately...
Not getting too close to Mo Shuwan and Wen Zuo, the two stood at least five meters away, bowed sincerely to them, and stood up for a full half minute before saying, "Thank you."
Mo Shuwan turned her head and looked at the two of them in surprise. She thought about how this person had chosen to tell them that there were special zombies following them when they were in a very dangerous situation, and she felt that their current actions were understandable.
Unexpectedly, there are still normal people in this already perverted world. To show respect, he stood up, shook his head, and said, "No need to thank us, we have our own purposes too."
Cheng Jinzhi hesitated for a moment, then, thinking about her and Lu Ci's current situation, she couldn't help but ask, "Are you from the nearby safe zone?"
"I guess so."
After that, neither side communicated further. Cheng Jinzhi and Lu Ci did not leave. Mo Shuwan and Wen Zuo could see the struggle and entanglement in their eyes, but they did not intend to bring it up.
Wen Zuo massaged her hands for a full ten minutes, and the trembling in Mo Shuwan's hands lessened slightly. She withdrew her hands and said, "Never mind, I'll just have to bear with it." She then bent down to pick up the watermelon knife on the ground, but Wen Zuo was faster and picked it up before her, holding it tightly in his hand without giving it to Mo Shuwan.
Mo Shuwan didn't insist on taking it herself. She quietly thanked Wen Zuo, and the two planned to return to the safe zone.
Seeing that they were about to leave, Cheng Jinzhi opened his mouth but couldn't bring himself to say the request he was about to make. He put his arm around Lu Ci, looked at Mo Shuwan and Wen Zuo, who were now some distance away, and asked Lu Ci in a low voice, "Should we follow them?"
Lu Ci instinctively wanted to touch her abdomen, but remembering that there were outsiders present, she quickly suppressed the thought and whispered, "Let's... let's follow them. We don't have anywhere else to go now. Just be careful not to let them find out."
Two people followed behind, but Mo Shuwan and Wen Zuo didn't pay them any attention. They were currently discussing the mission to rescue the survivors.
"So, Jiang Ling is no longer considered a survivor?"
—Never mind, we rescued her last night, so there were no additional survivor rescue missions.
"Why?" Mo Shuwan asked softly, asking Wen Zuo as well as herself.
Wen Zuo glanced back at the two people following him at a distance, and suddenly an idea popped into his mind. He immediately picked up a pen and started writing.
—Could it be because they've never eaten human flesh?
Mo Shuwan was taken aback, and subconsciously turned her head back, "It really is possible..."
Cheng Jinzhi and Lu Ci, who were following behind, thought they had offended them. They whispered a few words to each other, and Cheng Jinzhi carried Lu Ci on his back and jogged to catch up with Mo Shuwan and Wen Zuo. "Hello, my name is Cheng Jinzhi. Our safe zone is far from here. My wife is injured. Can we stay in your safe zone for a while?"
Mo Shuwan turned to look at Cheng Jinzhi and said bluntly, "Your wife has injured her leg. If she goes to the safe zone where we are, she will likely be used as food reserves. You should think it over carefully."
A fleeting look of disgust crossed Cheng Jinzhi and Lu Ci's eyes. Mo Shuwan, who noticed it, guessed that they were probably disgusted by the act of cannibalism, rather than by her and Wen Zuo.
"Let's go."
Mo Shuwan didn't say anything more, and the four of them quietly walked along the highway. During this time, Wen Zuo and Mo Shuwan kept observing their surroundings. They had made many marks on the trees because they were worried that they wouldn't be able to find their way back. Thanks to these marks, they finally made their way back to the big rock where they had hidden not long ago.
Xiangzi and Jiang Ling had disappeared without a trace, presumably they had returned to the safe zone after chasing after the special zombies.
Fortunately, the survivors of the safe zone had left many traces in the mountains and forests over the years. Even without Xiangzi and Jiang Ling to lead the way, although it took more time, we eventually found the safe zone by following these traces.
Wen Zuo and Mo Shuwan, who went mad chasing after the special zombies, returned safely, bringing back 'storage food', which shocked and excited the survivors who found them.
Zhu Jun, who happened to be nearby, concealed his surprise and quickly went to meet them. "You guys took care of that special zombie?"
Mo Shuwan knew immediately that Xiangzi or Jiang Ling had told her about their pursuit of the special zombie. Just as she was about to speak, she noticed Cheng Jinzhi and Lu Ci's tense bodies out of the corner of her eye, and changed the subject at the last minute, "They took them down. They were pretty good at fighting, so we brought them back."
Zhu Jun didn't doubt Mo Shuwan's words, and then looked at Cheng Jinzhi with a surprised expression. Coincidentally, Cheng Jinzhi was also looking at Mo Shuwan with a surprised expression, which made Zhu Jun feel a little suspicious. "Did they really kill them?"
"Why would I lie about something like this? Do you think I have too many spoils?"
Mo Shuwan's two rhetorical questions left Zhu Jun speechless.
After leaving a strong impression on Zhu Jun with Cheng Jinzhi and Lu Ci, Mo Shuwan and Wen Zuo returned to the low-level residential area under the watchful eyes of the survivors. However, just as they touched the haystack, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside.
Wen Zuo gestured to Mo Shuwan that he would go take a look, lifted the tattered cloth in front of the shed and crawled back inside. Before he could even stand up straight, someone suddenly pounced into his arms. His face darkened, and he immediately reached out and pulled away the arm that was clinging to his arm, suppressing his anger as he threw the person away.
Having succeeded in her attack, Jiang Ling did not push her luck any further. She stood obediently a few steps away, looking at Wen Zuo with concern, "I'm relieved to see you back safe and sound. I'm here to take you to the upscale residential area."
Luo Jingdong glanced at the eager Jiang Ling, suppressed the anger in his eyes, and said indifferently, "With your strength, you really don't need to stay here anymore. Pack your things and come with us now."
Wen Zuo did not refuse.
Having overheard the conversation outside, Mo Shuwan grabbed her weapon, crawled out of the shed, and prepared to leave.
She's definitely had enough of this place...
Ever since the news of her 'natural pregnancy' spread, she could hear ambiguous sounds coming from all sorts of corners, whether it was night or day. She could barely tolerate it if she was alone, but Wen Zuo was with her. It was too awkward for a man and a woman to be alone together listening to these sounds.
To Mo Shuwan's surprise, on her way to the upscale residential area, she saw three female passengers. Judging from the direction they came from, she could guess that they had been in either the upscale or mid-range residential area not long ago. Moreover, without even looking closely, Mo Shuwan noticed that the three female passengers looked much better and were no longer as dejected and desperate as before.
what happened?
