Luo Ming gobbled down the meat without uttering a word . However, since he was an ordinary person, and his appet.i.te was poor, he could not eat much . The barbecued meat was a far cry from what he usually ate . Naturally, Luo Ming knew how lucky he was to enjoy such an extravagant meal, and it was all due to Jiang Lius.h.i.+ .
At the same time, w.a.n.g Kui, Lu Shanshan, and the others were looking at them enviously . After a few bites, Luo Ming paused, and then asked Jiang Lius.h.i.+ with a smile, "Jiang Lius.h.i.+, may I-"
"Let them eat some," Jiang Lius.h.i.+ answered directly .
"Thank you, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ . Oh sorry, Brother Jiang," w.a.n.g Kui said happily . He knew that Jiang Lius.h.i.+ did this for Luo Ming's sake . After all, they weren't familiar with Jiang Lius.h.i.+ back in university at all . w.a.n.g Kui called Jiang Lius.h.i.+ 'Brother' just for cottoning up .
Cheng Jing also gratefully thanked Jiang Lius.h.i.+ for letting them eat barbecued meat . Lu Shanshan hesitated . Originally, she wanted to refuse, but in the end, she could not resist the barbecued meat's temptation . After getting the meat, she couldn't wait to eat . The meat was really delicious . Did Jiang Lius.h.i.+ and Li Yuxin have such marvelous meals on a daily basis?
After Luo Ming distributed a portion of his meat with the other students, he clapped his hands and stopped eating . "Jiang Lius.h.i.+, where did you come from?" Luo Ming asked curiously .
"Xiayuan," Jiang Lius.h.i.+ answered . Seeing that Luo Ming did not know where Xiayuan was, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ continued, "It is in Sanxiang Province . "
"Wow! That is quite far . " Luo Ming nodded .
Jiang Lius.h.i.+ just smiled slightly . He wondered what reaction Luo Ming would show if he knew that they had already driven to most of the southern areas .
"What does the paranormal you mentioned earlier know?" Jiang Lius.h.i.+ asked directly . Although Su Guangqi and Su Tong knew that there was a safety zone in Jiangning through the radio, it was just a piece of the information .
"Jiangning's current situation . . . he had said that the security zone is under strict control, and usually ordinary people can't enter . The surrounding area is also chaotic . Ordinary people and paranormals are coexisting together, and you can buy everything you want in the survivor area . If you need to sell anything, you'll definitely find a buyer . Even some powerful paranormals from Jiangbei go to trade there . But if one's strength is insufficient, they are likely to be swallowed," Luo Ming recounted the paranormal's words . Â
"Well . . . " Jiang Lius.h.i.+ didn't know how to answer . But the situation at Jiangning was indeed somewhat different from what he had heard . The military area sounded very strict .
"If you aren't in a hurry, I will ask that person to come over, so that you can ask him," Luo Ming suggested .
"Good idea . " Jiang Lius.h.i.+ nodded .
Luo Ming nodded back and then he got up and run off to call that person . Jiang Lius.h.i.+ intended to tell to Lin Wei that they'd like to stay here for a little longer, but he was nowhere to be found; only his lackeys remained, staring at them .
"Xiyu, pay more attention to them," Jiang Lius.h.i.+ said in a low voice .
"Okay . " Ran Xiyu nodded .
In an unfamiliar environment, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ will not feel restless, but he would not take it lightly either . It was the same for w.a.n.g Kui and the others, even though they were cla.s.smates in the past, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ would not trust them that easily . After all, a long time had pa.s.sed . Not to mention now, even before doomsday, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ was never a gullible person . Amongst them, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ only knew Luo Ming well .
Lu Shanshan glanced at Jiang Lius.h.i.+ and then pulled w.a.n.g Kui and Chen Jing . "Let's go . "
In the survival base, men and women lived in a large room respectively . Some strong ones could live in a larger room with several people . Only paranormals could live in a single room, which was practically a suite .
The man Luo Ming was looking for was in a large room . In fact, he was a lower supervisor, and usually, Luo Ming could not talk to him as their statuses were way different . What Luo Ming recounted earlier was just the content of the conversation between that supervisor and some others . Luo Ming needed to beg him to help Jiang Lius.h.i.+ .
The supervisor was a bald man, who was sitting in the room to eat with some others . They were eating stir-fried vegetables, in which the meat was much more than what Luo Ming and ordinary people would eat . When Luo Ming came in, the supervisor and the others in the room frowned, "What are you doing?" asked the supervisor .
Luo Ming smiled and carefully explained the intention of his visit . "As long as Brother Qing agrees, I will be at your disposal in the future," Luo Ming said .
"What?"Brother Qing snorted and said with a disdainful smile, "You'll be at my disposal? What can you do? Laundry or polish shoes?"
"Everything is fine with me!"Luo Ming kept smiling . He didn't know what Jiang Lius.h.i.+ wanted to do at Jiangning, but Luo Ming believed that if they had more information, their journey would be safe . Moreover, he felt grat.i.tude toward Jiang Lius.h.i.+ as he had invited him to eat the delicious barbecued meat .
One meal was nothing, but Luo Ming was totally moved . In this post-apocalyptic world, only Jiang Lius.h.i.+ made him like they were brothers . At the same time, it was no different for him for whom he would run errands .
"Little boy, you are loyal to your friends . " Brother Qing walked in front of Luo Ming, patted his cheek, and then slammed him viciously . Luo Ming was suffering, but he didn't dare to move at all .
"After all, we were cla.s.smates-"
Brother Qing interrupted him suddenly, "Sh*t up! Cla.s.smates? Sh*t! You should look at yourself first . You are not good enough to serve me! Why should I follow you back to give information about Jiangning? Get out!" The spit of Brother Qing was splashed on Luo Ming's face .
Lou Ming lowered his head . Actually, as a supervisor, Brother Qing would always curse at them and mistreat them . Countless times, Luo Ming would like to scream . However, in the end, he was forced to bow his head since the gap in status and strength between the two sides forced Luo Ming to accept the bitter reality . This time was just the same .
But unexpectedly, Lin Wei came in from the door and said, "Why don't you go? Go, and call Feng Yi . Feng Yi is your boss, so he knows a lot, right? I heard that he was a famous figure at Jiangning . "
Brother Qing was stunned, but then he nodded . "No problem . "
When Luo Ming saw Brother Qing grabbing clothes and going to find Feng Yi, he turned to look at Lin Wei . He had a bad feeling . Although Luo Ming was an optimistic person, that didn't mean he was stupid . Why would Lin Wei run specifically to say this? It was quite strange . Moreover, Lin Wei didn't know Jiang Lius.h.i.+ at all, so he had no reason to do that .
"Wait, Brother Lin, thank you, but you don't need to do this," Luo Ming quickly said .
"You should go and call your cla.s.smate here," Lin Wei answered .
Luo Ming's heart sank, and he suddenly understood everything .
"Excuse me, Brother Lin . If my cla.s.smate annoyed you, I would apologize to you . Don't be angry," Luo Ming quickly shouted . He didn't expect that he was not only of no help to Jiang Lius.h.i.+, but he had also brought harm to him . Although Jiang Lius.h.i.+ was powerful, he just had one minibus as well as several members . How could he compete with them? Moreover, Lin Wei was quite good at ambus.h.i.+ng others!
"Are you sure you don't want to go?" Lin Wei asked again .
"Brother Lin!" Luo Ming wanted to beg, but Lin Wei got closer and slapped him, sending him flying as Lin Wei was a paranormal . Luo Ming spat a mouthful of blood at once .
At that moment, Luo Ming saw w.a.n.g Kui, Chen Jing, and Lu Shanshan coming his way . In fact, Lu Shanshan had taken the initiative to call w.a.n.g Kui and Chen Jing to come together . She was under the impression that Jiang Lius.h.i.+ was not a stone-hearted man, so she wanted to help Luo Ming and then beg Jiang Lius.h.i.+ to take them away . In this base, they had no chance to lead a better life at all . However, as long as they could follow Jiang Lius.h.i.+, things would be totally different . At least, they could live in that clean and luxurious minibus . But Lu Shanshan did not expect that they would witness such a scene as soon as they came . w.a.n.g Kui and Chen Jing were scared while Lu Shanshan was trembling from shock .
Seeing that Lin Wei was walking toward them, Lu Shanshan breathed quickly, but then she suddenly said, "I can do it! Yes, I can go to call Jiang Lius.h.i.+ here . "
"You!" Luo Ming shouted in surprise . w.a.n.g Kui and Chen Jing were also thunderstruck . They all looked at Lu Shanshan . In their minds, Lu Shanshan was a kind girl, and none of them expected she could make such a decision .
"Can you? You are not familiar with him!"Lin Wei said .
"But I know his girlfriend . She is a doctor so I will ask her something about gynecological matters . I will invite her here to exam me, and I'm sure Jiang Lius.h.i.+ will follow her," Lu Shanshan explained .
Lin Wei stared at her in surprise and nodded after listening to Lu Shanshan's plan . "Good idea . "
"Lu Shanshan, what do you want to do?" Luo Ming shouted .
Lin Wei was annoyed by Luo Ming's behavior, and he pulled a long knife .
"Brother Lin, since I'd like to help you, please don't kill Luo Ming . I once heard that paranormals are very sensitive to the smell of blood . If they find something amiss, things will get complicated," Lu Shanshan said immediately . Lin Wei nodded .
"Lu Shanshan, you implored us earlier to beg Luo Ming to convince Jiang Lius.h.i.+ to take us with him . Why do you want to help Lin Wei harm Jiang Lius.h.i.+ now?" After leaving the large room, w.a.n.g Kui and Chen Jing asked in a low voice .
"It can't be helped . We witnessed everything . If we didn't cooperate, they'd kill us all," Lu Shanshan said calmly, "Think it carefully! Jiang Lius.h.i.+ looked down on us . After all, we are not familiar with each other . If we followed him, he might abandon us on the way . Since it's like that, it would be better to stay here and get along with our boss . Brother Qing is just a supervisor, but he leads a better life than us . " Of course, that was not her only goal . Â
"I can't do it . . . " Chen Jing shook her head quickly as she couldn't commit such an atrocity . Just thinking about it made her feel afraid of death . Â
"You are really useless . " Lu Shanshan shook her head and glanced at w.a.n.g Kui . "w.a.n.g Kui, what about you?"
"I . . . " w.a.n.g Kui hesitated . He looked at Lu Shanshan and felt that this woman seemed to have turned into a completely different person, but maybe this was Lu Shanshan's true nature .
w.a.n.g Kui swallowed and finally nodded . "I will help you . " He thought that even if he didn't follow Lu Shanshan, she would go by herself . Once her plan worked, it would be too late for regrets . They would have already offended her, so how could their days become better?Â
"Then, you should distract Jiang Lius.h.i.+ as I bring Li Yuxin with me," Lu Shanshan nodded and said .
As she was walking in the direction of the minibus, Lu Shanshan's heartbeat gradually calmed down . She knew that what she was about to do today could change her life . Although her mindset had changed, she believed it was G.o.d's intention…
'That's your fate, Jiang Lius.h.i.+,' Lu Shanshan said to herself .
Presently, Brother Qing had gathered with Feng Yi, Lin Wei, and others and they were planning the ambush . They had five paranormals and 20 people in total . They had used a lot of manpower to ambush the people in the minibus! They all believed that as long as Jiang Lius.h.i.+'s team took the bait, everything would go their way as in their minds n.o.body had the power to withstand the might of their firepower .
After a while, w.a.n.g Kui and Lu Shanshan made their way to Jiang Lius.h.i.+'s minibus .
"Brother Jiang, Luo Ming went to find Brother Qing, but he didn't know where Brother Qing had gone . I'd like to
I'd like to ask if you could help me with something," w.a.n.g Kui said to Jiang Lius.h.i.+ .
At the same time, Lu Shanshan got closer to Li Yuxin, lowered her voice and said, "Yuxin, can I ask you to come with me and check me for a disease, that is…sorry, I feel a little uncomfortable when talking about it . "
"Is the sanitary condition too bad? If it is because of this, it's quite common," Li Yuxin answered without thinking more . After all, girls were very vulnerable in this aspect . Â The sanitary conditions after doomsday were terrible .
However, Li Yuxin did not follow immediately . "Please wait, I have to report to Brother Jiang first . "
A hint of gloominess flashed through Lu Shanshan's eyes when she heard that . She had not expected that Li Yuxin would have to report everything to Jiang Lius.h.i.+ . But, Lu Shanshan thought everything would be okay as her plan was flawless . Â
After listening to Li Yuxin's words, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ looked at Lu Shanshan and then walked over . "No problem, but I'd like to accompany you . "
Hearing Jiang Lius.h.i.+'s answer, Lu Shanshan's heart jumped, and her facial expression changed . "I don't think that's appropriate . "
"Rest a.s.sured, I am not interested in watching you, I just want to protect Yuxin," Jiang Lius.h.i.+ said directly .
Lu Shanshan looked at Jiang Lius.h.i.+, but her uneasiness became more and more intense . She felt that Jiang Lius.h.i.+ didn't treat her as a woman but a clown .
Jiang Lius.h.i.+ asked leisurely, "w.a.n.g Kui, Lu Shanshan, do you feel that I'm a kind person just because we are cla.s.smates?"
Lu Shanshan's heart leaped wildly, and her face became extremely white . She forced herself to calm down and squeezed a smile . "How could that be? If you want to come with us, be our guest . "
"Then we can tour around your survival base," Jiang Zhuying also jumped out of the minibus and said . Su Guangqi and Su Tong remained in the minibus, while Ying, Zhang Hai, and Sun Kun were responsible for protecting them .
Jiang Lius.h.i.+ took Li Yuxin, Jiang Zhuying, Ling and Ran Xiyu with him and followed Lu Shanshan and w.a.n.g Kui . They were walking to the core area of the survival base . Lu Shanshan was very upset, but she looked extremely calm . Actually, she felt happy with the fact that Jiang Lius.h.i.+ wanted to follow her . Originally, she wanted to use Li Yuxin as bait to draw Jiang Lius.h.i.+ out, but it was needless now as the latter, as well as three other girls, followed them directly .
"Brother Jiang, my room is just in front of us . But I'd like for Yuxin to come inside as it's a delicate matter," Lu Shanshan said with a shy look on her face .
Jiang Lius.h.i.+ glanced at her with a smile, but he didn't say anything .
Currently, five paranormals and 20 people were waiting in ambush with lots of ammunition . They were waiting quietly for Lu Shanshan to bring Li Yuxin to this room . They had thrown Luo Ming to the corner and blocked his mouth so he could not warn them . He could do nothing more than stare at the door desperately . His eyes were filled with anger and anxiety . Several vultures were waiting for the door to open and grab Li Yuxin .
