The rest stop wasn’t big, but there’s an open parking lot and another covered parking lot. There’s a gas station on the side while the rest stop is filled with two one-story buildings.

These buildings are naturally not high-class hotels and are basically selling specialties, fast foods, or snack stores.

Hao Jian and the others have experience buying food from the rest stop on the expressway. The taste isn’t as good, but the price is quite expensive.

However, no matter how much they dislike the food in the rest stop on weekdays, they all had to place a little hope on the food this time.

Hao Jian wasn’t worried about the food, after all, the biggest reason she chose to come here is to take advantage of the facilities in the rest stop to take out the food she bought in the system mall. The excuse she prepared was; ‘although the place was ransacked, there are still a few left’ and so on.

In addition, she also wanted to use the gas station in the rest stop to refuel her motorcycle.

The situation in the rest stop really isn’t the best. It’s full of garbage and the stench of feces is stuck on the ground. The group couldn’t help but involuntarily cover their noses, “Who would shit all over the place in this situation?”

Fortunately, there weren’t much feces, and were able to enter the parking lot of the rest stop smoothly. Shi Gong Dui and Hao Jian drove their vehicles to refuel while Peng Mao and Xin Ting teamed up to patrol the surrounding area. Lian Ru Ning carried the machete and headed to the rest stop’s sales shop for reconnaissance.

Originally, she was supposed to be the one refueling while Hao Jian went scouting, but Lian Ru Ning wanted to exercise her courage and ability so she rejected Hao Jian’s suggestion. In fact, although she doesn’t want to admit it, she actually just wants to go to the rest stop first because she wants to find something.

Although she was a little uncomfortable this morning, she thought it was caused by the sun being too hot and the warm weather, after all, counting the days, she should still have around two to three days before it arrives!

But after eating spicy food, that feeling became more obvious, so she couldn’t easily hold it in and felt that she needed to solve it as soon as possible because she didn’t know when it would break out.

It would usually come late and rarely comes early, so she was a bit caught off guard this time.

The specialty stores in the rest stop were basically emptied; the shelves were empty, the machines in the snack bar have accumulated dust, while hot dogs and fish balls have been crushed and deformed or fell on the ground.

She couldn’t help but sigh. It was really tough to find any food here.

However, she didn’t have much heart to focus on the food. When she saw a convenience store, she immediately rushed in. Usually, convenience stores sell daily necessities, and those who usually gather supplies are men so they wouldn’t target those intended for female use.

On a corner shelf, she saw a familiar package and was overjoyed, but when she was about to head over, she suddenly heard an imperceptible sound.

It sounded like the breathing of a dying person, desperately trying to draw air, accompanied by the familiar scent of decay.

When Lian Ru Ning reacted, the two zombies were already only about a meter away from her. She didn’t even have time to raise her machete out of panic.

“Bang bang bang–“

A rapid burst of gunshots rang out in her ears, and after many consecutive shots, she saw the head of the zombie in front of her explode while the other zombie shifted its attention and ran towards the source of the gunfire.

But before the zombie could approach, its neck was cut by the figure that quickly rushed in.

Once, twice, three times. . . . until the zombie’s head was separated from its body.

All this happened too suddenly that by the time Lian Ru Ning came to her senses, she didn’t even have the strength to stand up, but she held on the machete in her hand and positioned it in front of her but wasn’t able to deliver the final blow on the downed zombie.

Hao Jian came to her as she swiftly kept the pistol in a casual manner and took led the machete down to point it to the ground.

When Lian Ru Ning felt the warmth in her hands, she didn’t care about the eruption in her lower abdomen and simply hugged Hao Jian tightly as tears ran down her cheeks, “I didn’t know, I didn’t see them, I was too careless– “

She was regretful and terrified. Her shame and uneasiness were about to overwhelm her that she started to hyperventilate.

Noticing that the body in her arms was trembling, Hao Jian tightly wrapped her arms around Lain Ru Ning’s waist and said in a soft and reassuring voice, “It’s okay.”

Lian Ru Ning hugged Hao Jian’s arms tightly and buried her head deep in her neck. Her heart was in a mess and she regretted that after experiencing so many zombie killings, she was still scared to death. She stood stiff and forgot to fight back. She also reflected on her mistake of letting her guard down simply because she was eager to find some sanitary napkins but was thankful and lucky that Hao Jian came in time.

Hao Jian really came in just in time. After she was separated from Lian Ru Ning, she vaguely felt unsettled as soon as her bike arrived at the gas station.

She didn’t know where this inexplicable sixth sense came from but she didn’t swell on it for too long nor did she take it seriously. She simply followed the direction where Lian Ru Ning headed and looked for her.

When she found Lian Ru Ning, she saw the zombies approaching her and in a hurry, she could only draw her weapon – her gun. Although she couldn’t make a perfect headshot, she only had one thought in mind.

Lian Ru Ning can’t die!

She clearly realized that this thought wasn’t imposed on her by the system but a cry from deep within her heart. It can even be said that this thought wasn’t an attachment to the task but a bond through the soul.

She didn’t care how many bullets were left, she didn’t care whether her shots were careless, she didn’t even care that her hands were numb from the shootings.

Fortunately, she shot the zombie in the head when she was about to run out of bullets, otherwise, she would never touch a gun again in her life.

When they saw the broken glass, the fresh corpse of the zombies, and the two people hugging, they felt a strange feeling in their hearts, but they were more concerned about what happened.

Lian Ru Ning calmed down and wiped her tears dry. She was ready to say something but Hao Jian let go of her and turned her head towards the rest of the group and said, “You guys go around first to see if there are any zombies attracted by the gunfire. I’ll explain what happened here later.”

“Oh. . . .” The group held their comments back.

Before leaving, Xin Ting looked at Hao Jian and Lian Ru Ning and a trace of sadness crossed her eyes, but she still left in the end.

Lian Ru Ning bit her lower lip and didn’t know how to explain things to Hao Jian/ She actually made such a newbie mistake. Even if Hao Jian didn’t care, she still felt a little uneasy.

Hao Jian put the gun back and said, “Okay, no one’s interrupting anymore, let’s continue.”

“???” Lian Ru Ning raised her eyes and met Hao Jian’s eyes. The uneasiness in her heart finally calmed down.

Hao Jian looked at her for a moment before chuckling, pinched the tip of Lian Ru Ning’s nose, and said, “Thank goodness, it’s good that you’re okay.”

Lian Ru Ning, however, still leaned forward and quickly dropped a kiss on her cheek.

“. . .” Hao Jian stared at her, but she didn’t resist or was surprised.

Lian Ru Ning was a little nervous. Although she only kissed her cheek, who knew if Hao Jian hated it?

Hao Jian naturally didn’t hate it, she instead pointed at her lips, “I think it’s better to kiss here.”

Lian Ru Ning was shocked by her shamelessness. She didn’t even know what Hao Jian meant.

She vaguely felt that Hao Jian thought of her the same way she thought of Hao Jian, but if Hao Jian is ‘straightforward’, then it will be nothing but teasing up until this point. If she dares to say that she is still straight in the future, she’s afraid that she won’t be able to pay Hao Jian’s ‘heavy’ price in the future.

Hao Jian probably knew that she wouldn’t kiss her anymore, so she picked up the machete, grabbed another pack of sanitary napkins, and handed it to her, “Come on, I’ll go with you to the bathroom.”

Lian Ru Ning felt that her underwear seemed to be wet now, causing her face to flush, but she wasn’t as frightened as before thinking that she was wearing dark sweatpants.

“How did you know?” She quietly asked.

“This shelf is full of sanitary napkins, isn’t it obvious?”

Hao Jian didn’t berate her for being anxious in finding some sanitary napkins that she ignored the possible existence of zombies, on the contrary, she analyzed what happened with Lian Ru Ning, “Do you think there’s anything unusual about the two zombies just now?”

Lian Ru Ning let out an “Ah”, but failed to follow Hao Jian’s line of thinking for the first time.

Hao Jian knew that she was still in shock, so she continued, “I figured that they aren’t like the walkers we encountered previously who would let out a scream of excitement or inform their fellow zombies whenever they see a living person.”

Lian Ru Ning also recalled that even she wouldn’t be able to ignore the noise her group did when they first came over.

“Do you know why they don’t?” A very unpleasant thought arose in Lian Ru Ning’s mind, such as the zombies have evolved and learned to hide to sneak up on humans?

But Hao Jian responded seriously, ” I think – they might have been mute deaf when they were still alive.”

“. . .”

Are you serious? Why do I find this conclusion not reliable at all?

Because of Hao Jian’s jokes, Lian Ru Ning relaxed a lot.

When they arrived at the bathroom, they naturally conducted another search, but thankfully there were no hidden zombies here, so Lian Ru Ning safely entered the stall.

Hao Jian was guarding outside when Lian Ru Ning thought for a while before asking, “Do the others even know you have a gun? It should be for emergency use, you seem to have shot a lot, right?

“Your life was in danger, is that not an emergency?” Hao Jian removed the magazine and took a look, there were still about four rounds of ammunition.

Lian Ru Ning unknowingly smiled as she was silent for a while as she heard this. It would be a lie if she said that her heart wasn’t moved, but she felt that she would become unable to accept Hao Jian’s kindness without ulterior motives in mind.

Hao Jian suddenly knocked on the door and handed her a brand new pair of underwear, which was still in its packaging.

“. . .”

Lian Ru Ning didn’t ask her where she found it, after all, she needed it right now.

Hao Jiang sighed about the benefits of leveling up and the system couldn’t help but voice out smugly, “The system has already been telling the host, now the host has discovered that the system is good, right?!”

Hao Jian didn’t retort. She doesn’t have to worry about food, prescription medicine, daily necessities, cold weapons, and even basic survival supplies, but she still doesn’t have much authority to access things that will help them survive. For example; medical supplies and hot weapons.

It was as if all this was telling her that she could only get everything she needs once she upgrades.

She didn’t bother much with the system about upgrading, but instead asked, “Will the zombies evolve? Or is there a possibility that the zombies will possess intelligence?”

Hao Jian finally realized that the feelings she has towards Lian Ru Ning are genuine!!!

Yesss!!!
