Just as Liu Liu thought no one would pay attention to her again, a hoarse and unpleasant male voice came from a dark corner: "Which direction did those zombies go?"
The words were clearly asking her, and Liu Liu did not hide anything, as it was something that could be known by simply pulling aside the curtain.
"They went towards the east. I'm a biochemistry student. East must mean someone used a bomb. I can recognize that sound, and the enemy's bomb control was very precise. This amount should be for blowing up a building."
The man asked in confusion, "Blowing up a building?"
Liu Liu nodded, "Yes, and it should be to blow up a certain part of the building, perhaps the door, or stairs, or load-bearing pillars."
"This amount is impossible to blow up an entire building. If it were to blow up zombies, it's even more impossible. This is clearly concentrated damage, which is not applicable to such a large area of zombies."
Liu Liu said earnestly.
The man's curiosity shifted from the explosion sound to the girl in front of him.
"You seem to know a lot about this?"
Liu Liu nodded, not hiding anything. "I graduated from a military academy and majored in weapons and demolition. Later, I moved into biochemistry, which is also related to weapons."
The man nodded in understanding, thinking to himself, "No wonder."
He instantly felt a sense of pity for talent.
If the timing were right, the man would have wanted to kidnap the girl and bring her back to his gang.
His gang was filled with rough, illiterate men. No matter how brave they were, they only knew how to fight with guns and knives.
But this girl in front of him was different. Such a high-achiever, if she understood so much, she could probably create something easily.
The skinny monkey-like man kept thinking in his mind how to lure this girl back to his gang.
However, Liu Liu sensed the covetous intent in the man's gaze and was startled, not knowing what she had said wrong.
It actually made this man interested in her.
With that, Liu Liu dared not delay any longer and quickly said, "Everyone, we met by chance, and that's fate. But I still have family members scattered around. Since there's an opportunity now, I definitely have to go find my family. If anyone wants to go out, now is the best time, but I must leave."
The man glanced at Liu Liu and did not stop her. With zombies everywhere, even if he had the intention, he was genuinely too busy.
Liu Liu turned to leave after speaking. Seeing that no one stopped her, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Taking advantage of Liu Liu's departure, a few other people also followed behind her and left together.
Watching people leave one after another.
Yue Yue, clinging to Xu Yan, whispered, "Aunt Xu, aren't we leaving?"
Xu Yan seemed not to hear, ignoring Yue Yue's question, and just stared blankly in the direction of the explosion.
Seeing that Xu Yan's state was not right, Yue Yue tugged hard at Xu Yan's collar.
"Aunt Xu, what's wrong?" Her voice carried the unique panic of a child, cautious and fearful.
Feeling the warmth on her fingertips, Xu Yan finally lowered her head and looked at Yue Yue in her arms.
"Auntie, what's wrong?"
Yue Yue noticed that Xu Yan's expression seemed a bit off. It was as if ever since the older sister said someone nearby used a bomb, Auntie's expression had become a bit dazed.
Yue Yue was only eight years old.
But due to the long period of living in the apocalypse, she had shed her childishness too early.
At such a young age, she had long learned to observe people's expressions.
Xu Yan had something on her mind. She thought.
After hearing Liu Liu's words, Xu Yan inexplicably felt a subtle sense of excitement.
She had a secret expectation, and she seemed to have a premonition that someone would come to save her.
That person must be her daughter.
But Xu Yan also knew in her heart that if the situation was really that serious, and Xu An had to personally rescue her, then the situation would also develop in a very extreme direction.
So she also conflictedly did not wish for Xu An to save her.
When Liu Liu said she was going to the border, she had thought about stopping her.
Let alone how the authorities planned to deal with everyone in Zone B, even if they managed to reach the border on their own.
Even if they weren't bitten, could they really get out?
All of this would probably have to be asked by her elder brother.
But the moment she was about to speak, Xu Yan suddenly wondered what reason she could use to persuade this girl to give up the idea of leaving.
If, by any chance, this girl truly believed her words, and everyone here knew that she might never be able to get out of Zone B, then what kind of hell would this place turn into?
Currently, everyone could sit together peacefully and share resources because, deep down, no one had given up hope. They still held onto the belief that the authorities would come to save them.
So everyone tried their best to suppress their true natures to avoid trouble afterwards.
But once these people knew they were abandoned, wouldn't they just give up all pretense and start releasing malice without any limits?
Xu Yan dared not gamble.
Human nature was never something that could be weighed on a scale.
In the end, Xu Yan could only watch helplessly as the girl in front of her disappeared from her sight.
And all she could do was wish the girl a safe journey.
After most of the people who wanted to leave had left.
The convenience store fell into an eerie silence again.
Of course, those willing to venture out to gamble for a way to survive were still a minority, so there were still 14 people in the convenience store.
Including the girl who led the departure, three more people had followed her out intermittently.
However, what surprised everyone was that the girl with long hair and a skirt who had always followed the short-haired girl had not left with her.
Instead, she chose to stay in the convenience store.
Of course, this curiosity merely turned into scrutinizing gazes that surveyed the girl up and down.
Finally, when the girl started to feel awkward, everyone else withdrew their gazes.
Many people were also whispering, saying that it was definitely suspicious that the girl in the white dress didn't leave with them, and that it was correct for themselves to stay.
Another group who were still restless immediately gave up their intentions and quietly stayed there, waiting for rescue.
