After finishing the instant noodles, Li Ran felt very satisfied. She also felt sleepy again since she barely had any rest.
Li Ran yawned and looked at Wang Gang with an apologetic look on her face.
"Can you continue driving? I want to sleep for a while. I'll take over once I've woken up."
Wang Gang readily agreed, "Sure, but the car is out of gas. There's a gas station about two miles away. I'll just walk there and bring back some gas. You guys can rest while waiting for my return."
"Out of gas?"
Li Ran almost forgot about that. She was really sleepy!
"Yeah, but it's not a big problem. I'll be as quick as I can. It's getting dark. You need to find somewhere safe to rest. This place isn't good enough."
After saying that, Wang Gang was ready to leave. He had checked the GPS earlier and memorized the route, so there should not be any issues.
Li Ran glanced at the rest of the group. She wanted to follow Wang Gang. However, Gu Zhao's power was still unstable. If they come across people with bad intentions, they would not be able to handle them.
Not only did they have to guard themselves against zombies, but also humans and plants.
...
Li Ran quickly stopped Wang Gang. She took out her pistol and handed it to him.
"This pistol is filled with bullets. There are ten in total. Take it. Be careful on the road. We'll be waiting for you."
Wang Gang looked at the pistol in astonishment. He was quite flattered. Who knew that Li Ran trusted him so much. Even Yang Shao, who had followed him for so long, might not trust him to this degree.
He smiled and refused the offer.
"I appreciate your kindness, but you can keep the pistol. You should use it to protect those weaklings. I don't need it. Just wait for me. There won't be any problem."
Wang Gang was about to set off but he was forcefully stopped by Li Ran. She shoved the pistol into his hand.
"You don't have any special abilities. You'll need the pistol. Don't worry about us. We're in a much safer position than you."
After saying that, Li Ran turned around and left. She would not take "no" as an answer. Wang Gang held onto the pistol tightly and let out a long breath. There was a sincere look in his eyes.
Meanwhile, Yang Shao was sitting in the car with the couple. They saw everything that had happened.
"How naive can this woman be? We've only been together for a short while but she willingly gave her gun away? Luckily, it was Wang Gang. If it was anyone else, they would have taken advantage of her. Tsk, this can be really worrying."
However, Zhao Ying disagreed. She chuckled and said, "Sometimes, we can tell if a person is trustworthy or not. It has nothing to do with the length of time spent together."
"You think so?" Yang Shao replied indifferently.
Humans were unpredictable and complicated. It would be better to not trust someone so easily.
Nonetheless, everyone had their own opinions.
Li Ran returned to the car and closed the door. She turned on the GPS and dialed Lin Nan's number again.
A beeping sound could be heard.
...
There was still no answer.
Li Ran gave up and decided to leave another voice message.
She told Lin Nan their current location and the route that they were going to take to the safety base. She even informed him of her companions and that they had some supplies.
Finally, she added, "Hubby, I hope that we can meet up soon. I have a surprise for you."
Yang Shao was stunned when he heard what Li Ran said. He could not suppress his curiosity and asked, "Li Ran, you're already married?"
Li Ran had just hung up the phone. She quickly answered with a smile, "Yes, I've been married for some time now."
"That's great. I couldn't tell at all. You look so young. You're really a natural beauty."
