A young man following Xue Jingjing shouted loudly, "You can't take so many cars, why not give us a few?"
Xue Jingjing had originally intended to take more. The space was her creation, and she knew how to accelerate its advancement. Its area was already quite large.
Fitting a dozen or twenty cars wouldn't be a problem.
But because of her companion's words, she no longer had a reason to take more.
However, if they couldn't do it openly, they could do it sneakily.
"Are you done?"
Two people appeared beside them, facing familiar acquaintances from the farmer's market last time.
They were also the people Xiao Chongyan most wanted to kill now.
"Miss Xiao, these people want our cars."
"What do you mean 'your' cars? These clearly belong to everyone."
A girl from Xue Jingjing's group immediately retorted loudly, "Don't you understand the rules? In the apocalypse, it's first come, first served!"
"Exactly! First come, first served, got it? We were here first, so they're ours."
Another man in Xue Jingjing's group said angrily, "Can you even take that many? Don't you understand mutual help? Are you going to give them or not? If not, we'll just take them by force!"
Zhou Shanshan angrily retorted, "Mutual help? With someone like you who curses from the start? And 'take by force'? If you've got the guts, come and try!"
Listening to their childish exchange, Zhu Guan grew impatient, "Are they washed? Let's go once they're clean."
The people on her side immediately became well-behaved, "Miss Xiao, we've cleaned them up. We can leave now."
Hearing that they were leaving, the people on the opposite side suddenly had hope.
If it was first come, first served, then after they left, they could still go and take them.
However, they watched helplessly as this group drove away. When they went in later to look for the cars, not a single one was to be found, except for a few unfinished model cars in the first-floor lobby.
Even the underground parking lot, which they had pinned their last hopes on, was a trap. As soon as they entered, they were swarmed by dozens of zombies.
Although their team had awakened abilities, and with Xue Jingjing, the female protagonist, there were no casualties, it still made them incredibly angry.
Guessing that they had taken the remaining cars, Xue Jingjing and her group considered chasing after them to snatch them back.
Unfortunately, by this time, Zhu Guan and her party had already hit the road.
Because of the embarrassment of getting lost while looking for a 4S shop earlier, they had collected many maps in the city and also gathered a lot of gasoline along the way.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, they officially embarked on National Highway G210.
Considering that others had departed before them and the road might be blocked, they chose to take the national highway, which was safer.
It was still autumn. The once lush green shrubs of the south, under the corrosion of the red rain, had become bare. There wasn't a hint of green in sight, giving an infinitely desolate feeling.
The group, who had gotten into the cars with high spirits, became dejected upon seeing the desolate scenery along the way.
"How did it all become like this? Will it ever get better?"
"I used to pass this place every time I went home. There used to be maple trees all over that slope, and this season was the most beautiful. Now, there's nothing."
The girl became even more melancholic, "It's all the fault of that red rain. It falls every few days. This place will never recover."
That red rain could even corrode cars, let alone other materials. Nothing could grow in the soil. The remaining things were all corroded and gone. How far was this world from becoming a desert?
The only two who knew the truth had no intention of telling them. After this autumn and winter, everything they longed for, all the green, would return, but in a completely unrecognizable form.
At that time, the world would be full of life, but it would be filled with deadly things everywhere.
Everything would unite with the purpose of killing all humans.
Telling them now would only increase their worries.
She suddenly spoke, "Awakening abilities requires stimulation. So, when we encounter zombies next, if it's not a dangerous situation, you'll deal with them yourselves."
