When Bai Ran saw Qi Cheng, she started crying and throwing herself into his arms. Qi Cheng hurriedly asked her what happened.
She glanced at Su Shanshan discreetly and showed him the wound on her neck. The purplish-red finger marks on her neck stood out against her fair skin.
Instantly Qi Cheng rushed angrily to Su Shanshan's side and roared, "I know you're jealous because I'm close to Bai Ran, right? Su Shanshan, I'm telling you, I won't ever like you. Give up. If I see you hurting Bai Ran again, don't blame me for falling out with you!"
After he said this, the room became silent for a moment.
Fei Lan's eyes widened. "This man is really bold to speak to Sister Shanshan like that," he thought.
"Did I not make myself clear the last time or are you stupid? If you come near me again, believe it or not, I'll beat you up too," Su Shanshan said coldly.
Qi Cheng was stunned. Then he raised his hand to hit her, but Bai Ran grabbed his arm and pulled him away. Of course, her intention was not to help Su Shanshan. She had a more vicious plan.
Su Shanshan ignored them and stared straight at the moon in the sky. In her past life, in the fifth year of the apocalypse, an expert had inadvertently discovered a rock and deduced that it was an extraterrestrial meteorite that had fallen from the sky during the first solar eclipse. These meteorites could suppress damage caused by mutated plants.
The people in the room also realized that something was wrong with the moon and a flurry of discussions ensued.
Starlight flashed in the sky, and a shooting star streaked across the sky. The entire night sky seemed to have been split in half by a streak of fire. Everyone cried out in surprise, "It's a shooting star! Quickly make a wish!"
Wishing on a falling meteor could grant wishes. This was a fairy tale they had heard since they were young. However, in times like this, they could only place their hopes in these fairy tales to alleviate their fears of the apocalypse. The apocalypse was already upon them—perhaps it was true that meteors could grant wishes.
A smile appeared on Su Shanshan's face. Fei Lan glanced at her and said in surprise, "I didn't expect you to believe this too, Sister Shanshan!"
Su Shanshan looked at him and did not explain. She was happy that the extraterrestrial meteorite incident really happened. Now it seemed that the biggest crisis for humans was the zombies. In the future, they would discover that the omnipresent mutated plants were the most troublesome. Back then, Gu Jincheng almost crippled his superpower trying to eliminate mutated plants.
Also, she knew the location where the meteorite fell. It was in City M where the scientist picked up the meteorite. Although it was only part of the meteorite, the palm-sized meteorite ended the troubles caused by the mutated zombies.
This time she must get her hands on this meteorite first. It would make things easier for Gu Jincheng in the future.
Thinking of Gu Jincheng, a sweet smile appeared on Su Shanshan's face. This smile stunned Fei Lan again. He looked straight at Su Shanshan and suddenly realized that she was still a girl under her tough exterior. He put one hand over his heart—it was beating unusually fast.
"What are you doing?" Su Shanshan asked, moving closer to him suddenly.
Fei Lan suddenly took a big step back, not daring to look her in the eye. "Nothing."
Su Shanshan looked at him strangely but did not take it to heart. After firming up her thoughts, her mood lifted. She walked towards her room but was stopped by Mu Qing.
"Miss Su, we're going to the nearest City S base tomorrow. Would you like to go with us?"
Su Shanshan shook her head. "Nah, we're going to City M."
"City M is further away and it might not be safe. Why don't you come with us? I've come up with a detailed plan. We'll definitely be able to reach there safely," Mu Qing said.
Su Shanshan shook her head again. "Our destination is City A."
