Xu An cursed under her breath, "Damn it!" Was it that she hadn't checked the almanac before leaving home today, or were these people all eager to have a team-building event?
Normally, she wouldn't encounter a living soul. [PS: Those she encountered turned into dead people.]
Today, one group after another, endless.
The group that had just left was the one holding Lin Zhuoran hostage, and at the exit behind, a new wave of people had arrived, directly blocking Xu An's path.
Caught between a rock and a hard place.
She thought about it and decided to head towards the direction of the call for help. At least the people there sounded like they were on their last breath.
Relatively, the threat was minimal.
Having made up her mind, Xu An pulled Gou Dan, signaled it to be quiet, crouched down, and quickly darted into a fire escape, heading towards the innermost part.
No sooner had Xu An left than a man and a woman started chasing after her.
These two were Fang Chang and Ji Rou Rou, who had been following Xu An in the large G-wagon.
The car, of course, wasn't theirs, but was found in the garage of the house they had broken into.
They didn't know what stroke of luck they had, but there was still gas in the car.
They had been following Xu An's car, watching her Wuling Hongguang being surrounded by zombies.
When Fang Chang saw this scene, while feeling scared, he also felt lucky. Perhaps this bitch would die right here.
He hadn't expected this woman to be so lucky, still alive even in this situation, and actually driving into the underground parking lot of the shopping center.
They hadn't considered knocking on Xu An's door directly, but remembering that she hadn't opened the door last time, they gave up on that idea.
Fang Chang thought that since the door wouldn't open, he would find a way to open it from the outside.
As long as they captured Xu An, he didn't believe that the woman remaining inside wouldn't open the door.
"Damn it! She's gone again. Is this woman a rat? Disappearing at the drop of a hat."
Ji Rou Rou, following behind, panting, held her chest with her left hand, her right hand holding the cleaver trembling violently.
This was her first time facing zombies directly. When she chopped off the opponent's head, the foul-smelling yellowish-brown blood splattered on her face.
She wildly swung the cleaver in her hand at lightning speed, even killing quite a few zombies.
However, the look of terror on her face had not yet subsided.
"Brother Chang, since we're already at the shopping center, why don't we find some supplies first? This place is so big, we won't find her anytime soon."
Fang Chang's eyes were cold, and he spat fiercely on the ground, cursing, "Damn it! Bitch! Don't fall into my hands!"
Missing Xu An time and time again made him feel like he was being toyed with.
Ridiculously, he hadn't even met Xu An face-to-face.
Xu An had just stealthily entered the fire escape, and by the dim blue light, she heard a low groan.
The next second, a wavering figure reached out to grab her, but she dodged it by turning around, avoiding the person's touch.
Without any hesitation, Xu An drew the dagger from her waist and stabbed at the person opposite, demanding in a low voice, "Who are you?"
Those strong, powerful arms had already bulged with veins, forming a barrier between them.
Xu An was greatly alarmed; this man had actually blocked the stab with his forearm.
She knew that this dagger was specially customized by her mother, and with this stab, even if the man's arm didn't break, it would be deeply cut to the bone.
But the man in front of her didn't even falter in his breathing, his breath still steady.
"The one who called for help just now wasn't him! There's more than one person here!"
With this thought, Xu An was stunned for less than a second. Her eyes grew colder, and the tip of the knife moved a little further into the man's forearm.
"Miss, I have no ill intentions. It's just that if you keep using force, my arm will break."
Xu An thought, "I don't care if your arm breaks or not, and you're the one calling me miss. Your whole family is miss."
Seeing that Xu An's knife force was not only not lessening but increasing, the man's dormant killing intent gradually awakened! But he concealed it well.
"If you insist on having this arm, then your dog will have to pay me with its life."
Xu An, fearing a trick, quietly called out, "Gou Dan!"
But Gou Dan, who had been following behind, wasn't nuzzling her leg as usual.
She turned to look behind her, and her heart sank. Gou Dan, who had been following, was nowhere to be seen, and she hadn't even noticed!
She turned back to the man, her hand slackening its force, but the blade did not leave his arm. She pursed her lips and said, "Where is my dog!"
In the fire escape, there was only the eerie green light of the emergency exit signs. She couldn't see the man's face, but his well-defined features made Xu An certain that he shouldn't be ugly.
It didn't matter if he was handsome!
A faint red glow appeared in Xu An's eyes, and a killing intent circulated between them.
She hated being threatened more than anything in her life.
If you dare to threaten her, you'd better be prepared to pay with your life!
"Put down the knife, and I'll give you back your dog."
The man tried his best to appear sincere, attempting to prove to Xu An that he had no malicious intent.
But his aura was cold, which, in Xu An's eyes, was not very convincing.
The two were too close, and the man's deep voice echoed in Xu An's ears like a 3D surround sound speaker.
A faint scent of tobacco wafted into Xu An's nostrils as the man spoke.
She turned her head away in disgust. She hated men who smoked.
In the apocalypse, this man could still afford to smoke, which meant he was no simple character.
"I don't believe you. I want to see my dog!"
The man made no move. His other, uninjured hand made a strange gesture in the darkness.
Then, a person walked out of the darkness and appeared behind Xu An. In the man's hand, Gou Dan was being led.
If Xu An could still maintain a calm demeanor when facing the man in front of her, her breathing clearly became erratic when she discovered the man behind her.
A wave of fear washed over her. Who were these people? How many more people were hidden in this small fire escape?
She prided herself on her intelligence and thought she had chosen the path of least threat, but unexpectedly, this was the most dangerous place.
Seeing the woman in front of him and her dog, the man did not relax but became more nervous.
He knew the other party must have misunderstood.
Upon closer inspection, Xu An's hand, which had been hanging down, was slowly moving. The man's heart leaped, fearing that she might have other lethal weapons.
He had no doubt that she would kill him without hesitation.
"Calm down! We're not bad people!"
After speaking, he looked at the man holding Gou Dan behind Xu An, "Zhou Zhe, give her back the dog!"
