Li Ran saw the two people approaching her car. She could not figure out who they were.
Neither of them moved. Li Ran had hidden a gun in the car and she was ready to defend herself.
The man walked in front of the car and greeted her through the windshield. His white teeth made his complexion look gray. Even so, he was a good-looking man.
Li Ran smiled and waved at him.
She had completely forgotten about the roadblock.
When the woman saw Li Ran, she let out a sigh of relief. Her worries completely disappeared.
If Li Ran had been a man, she and Gu Jin might not be able to handle any unforeseen events.
Gu Jin walked towards the door and knocked on the car's window. Li Ran rolled down about one-third of the window.
He said eagerly, "Is this your car? It's so cool! I'm really interested in cars but in our current situation, there was no way for me to buy one."
Upon hearing that, Li Ran smiled bitterly and said, "So you set up a roadblock in the middle of the road to rob other people's cars?"
"No, no, that's not what I meant. We are all human beings. How could we harm one of our own at a time like this? I had no choice. Quite a number of cars had passed by this place. We tried to stop them but to no avail."
The woman added angrily, "That's right. Those people are so cold-blooded. They just sped through and almost killed me!"
After saying that, she glared at Gu Jin.
Gu Jin scratched his head and said helplessly, "I underestimated how evil people can be. Luckily, I managed to pull you away. I saved your life, didn't I?"
He rubbed the woman's shoulder in an attempt to comfort her.
Li Ran understood that she had scared the woman. Otherwise, she would not have reacted so significantly. However, she needed to get going. She bluntly said, "I still have things to do. Later, you might..."
Obviously, they understood the meaning behind her words.
The woman looked at Li Ran with a troubled expression and begged bitterly, "Can't you take us with you? We've been stuck here for half a month. It's the middle of nowhere. Sooner or later, we'll starve to death!"
"I'm sorry..."
Ever since she met Cui Chong, Li Ran had become very skeptical towards other people. She was not willing to take any risks.
Her indifferent attitude made the atmosphere tense and awkward.
Gu Jin could barely keep up his cheery expression.
He tried to persuade Li Ran again, "Wouldn't it be good to have company? We can watch each other's back."
However, Li Ran was not convinced at all. She tried her best to maintain her indifferent attitude.
At the back of her mind, she was worried that she would cave in.
"This place is not too far from the city. It's within walking distance."
The woman replied with a distressed face, "We want to, but we are defenseless. If more than one zombie attacks us, it will be the end!"
"Madam, please take pity on us. She is Zhao Ying and I'm Gu Jin. Before the apocalypse, we were celebrities. We starred in a popular TV series. Do you recognize us?"
Gu Jin tried to wipe his face but his hands were dirty. He rushed into the house and took out half a bottle of mineral water. Then, he carefully poured out a little bit of water onto his hand and rubbed it against his face, revealing his fair skin.
Li Ran did indeed recognize him. No wonder he looked so familiar.
Seeing Li Ran's expression, Zhao Ying was thrilled. Gu Jin was still washing his face with the very little amount of water they had left. So, she quickly stopped him.
"This is for drinking! Stop wasting it!"
Gu Jin seemed very dissatisfied.
"I haven't washed my face for more than half a month. If she could help us, then it's worth it!"
