"Go to Shajiang City?"
Li Huang wasn't sure why Bai Yin wanted to go there.
He simply added another piece of firewood to the brick kiln, and asked curiously:
"That place... is supposed to be very backward, not to mention that now it's full of zombies everywhere."
Shajiang City, even in peacetime, was just an underdeveloped small city.
Nestled against the countryside, even the most basic express delivery stations were scarce.
Bai Yin simply said:
"Before I met you guys, I had a friend, but something came up midway, and he and I separated.
But according to our original plan, we agreed to meet in Shajiang.
I wonder if he made it there.
So, since you can drive, I thought I'd ask you to give me a ride."
"Well...Since we're all in this together now, I have no problem with it.
We're willing to follow you wherever you go, it's just a pity about all this food."
Li Huang looked back at the wall full of food, enough for four people to last almost half a year.
If they were to take it with them, the off-road vehicle could only carry half at most.
As he looked back at the pile of food, his gaze passed by Wang Lei's side.
She was leisurely applying makeup in front of the mirror.
In contrast, his sister, Li Xin, was washing clothes not far away.
Li Huang couldn't help but frown, then muttered under his breath:
"If possible, I really wish we could leave that troublemaker behind."
"Troublemaker?"
"It's Wang Lei!"
"If you're willing, of course you can!"
"Hmm..."
Li Huang was somewhat surprised:
"You agree? I thought you would defend her..."
Bai Yin smiled lightly:
"What illusion made you think I would care so much about a burden, both physically and mentally?
Such a person who only disrupts internal unity, it's understandable if you want to get rid of her."
To be honest, Bai Yin wasn't interested in getting involved in such matters.
After all, Li Huang was the one driving, so he could do as he pleased.
But since the other party had this idea.
Bai Yin didn't mind providing him with some reasonable excuses,
---
"Well, when we leave, let's not take her with us, let her fend for herself!"
Li Huang made up his mind, a sense of relief in his eyes.
---
At lunch, Bai Yin mentioned his plan to go to Shajiang City at the dining table.
Li Huang and Li Xin didn't react much, only Wang Lei looked at the food in the corner.
"But there's so much food, it would be a shame to leave it behind.
Why don't we stay a few more days? What do you say, handsome?"
With that, she cast a flirtatious glance at Bai Yin.
Bai Yin just chuckled, jokingly said:
"It's not a bad idea, if someone is willing to stay, we can fit more food in the car!"
"Then let Mr.Li stay, anyway, you're just a foodie, we can't waste so much food."
Wang Lei giggled, Li Huang gave her a disdainful look and said:
"Why don't you stay? It's just enough for you to retire here."
"I want to follow Handsome wherever he goes. Wherever he goes, I go."
---
In the afternoon, everyone started packing.
After filling the car, there was still about half of the food left in the warehouse.
Bai Yin sat in the front passenger seat, Li Xin and Wang Lei were in the back seat.
Li Huang was about to find a reason to get rid of Wang Lei.
But before he could speak, Wang Lei suddenly screamed:
"Oh no! I left my makeup case in the house!"
Then she said:
"Don't start yet, don't start yet, I need to go get it!"
With that, she opened the car door, got out directly, and ran into the building.
After Wang Lei left, Li Huang said to Li Xin:
"Sis, close the door, just in case."
"Okay!"
Li Xin closed the door without much thought.
While she was closing the door.
"Swoosh!"
Li Huang stepped on the gas pedal, and the green off-road vehicle rushed towards Shajiang City.
Li Xin was puzzled:
"Brother, Sister Lei hasn't come up yet!"
Li Huang's expression was cold:
"Dragging such a burden, sooner or later she'll get us killed, let her fend for herself."
"How could you say that, we've known each other for so long, we're old friends."
Li Xin was getting anxious, but Li Huang remained unmoved.
Finally, Li Xin could only look to Bai Yin for help:
"Bai Yin, can you help me..."
However, she only said half of the sentence.
Then she saw Bai Yin's pale and weak face in the rearview mirror.
He looked like a seriously ill patient at death's door.
"B-Bai Yin... Are you okay?"
"Cough, I'm fine..."
Bai Yin smiled bitterly, waved his hand weakly, his voice weak:
"Sorry, I'm a little carsick..."
Silently taking out a sleeping pill from his pocket, he swallowed it dry, and then said:
"There's at least half of the food left in the warehouse, enough for her to eat for a year...
So, it's fine... If you're really worried, you can come back within a year..."
"Only a fool would come back!"
Li Huang's words were full of resentment.
Seeing Bai Yin saying so, Li Xin knew it was impossible to go back now.
In the end, she could only sigh helplessly and accept the situation.
---
On the other side, Wang Lei heard the sound of the off-road vehicle driving away as soon as she reached the top of the stairs.
She was stunned, then immediately panicked.
She hurried downstairs and ran outside.
But in the end, all she saw was the gradually disappearing figure of the off-road vehicle.
"Oh!! I haven't gotten on the car yet!!"
Wang Lei shouted loudly, but the car was getting farther away.
No matter how foolish she was, she eventually realized a reality.
That is:
She had been abandoned!
Realizing this, Wang Lei's heart was filled with countless anger, unable to help but curse loudly:
"Damn it, come back to me!! FXXK you, come back!!"
But it was all in vain.
After venting her anger, she felt aggrieved:
"Come back, please come back... Come back..."
Tears flowed uncontrollably, and she collapsed weakly to the ground.
But before she could indulge in her grief for too long.
"Ah!"
The nearby zombies, hearing the commotion, began to rush over.
"Oh no!!"
Wang Lei screamed in fear.
Then she quickly rushed into the building.
The next moment, with a bang, she locked the door from the inside.
She first returned to the warehouse and cried on her bed for a long time.
When she cried herself to sleep, she woke up again in the middle of the night.
"Hoo..."
The wind outside the window was howling, like monsters whispering.
Wang Lei was very scared, curled up in bed like a baby in the womb.
She covered her whole body, including her head, with the blanket.
Trying to make herself less afraid in this way.
Wang Lei was afraid of the dark, she had been since she was a child.
She was afraid of being alone, but she was used to being sharp-tongued with the people around her.
Except for those men who pursued her, there were few people she got along with.
It seemed that all the men of the same age were pampering her, holding her in their hands, which made her even more arrogant and rude.
Unfortunately, this time she happened to meet Li Huang.
And the two anomalies, Bai Yin, who had a fear of women.
---
Wang Lei only felt very aggrieved.
However, no matter what mood she was in at the moment.
For a long time to come, she would inevitably live alone.
As for what to do after all the food was gone?
Who knows?
