Meeting Hei Zi caused Gu Cheng's mood to sink. Although he didn't speak much within the team, everyone still regarded him as the spiritual pillar of the team. Thus, it was hard to avoid being influenced by his mood on the journey the next day. The group of people drove all the way to Ji Nan's territory in silence, and the Liu Clan suddenly stopped the bus.

Gu Cheng had originally thought that he had once again run into a car blocking the road, but upon stepping forward, he discovered that it was a landslide. With a single glance, he saw that nearly fifty meters of road surface had been covered by mud and rocks.

After discussing it for a while, they decided to go down the highway. After that, they would take a detour back to the highway. In this way, Gu Cheng didn't have much time to think about the past. Lin Xin felt that being blocked on the highway had instead turned out to be a good thing from a certain point of view.

Only then did everyone start laughing again. He had been on the highway for several days. Although fighting zombies was great, and accepting supplies was also great, the scenery outside the window every day was enough. Not to mention children, even a few adults were getting tired of it. After getting off the highway, the exit was blocked as well. However, as they got closer, it was not completely blocked. Other than Gu Cheng's caravan being a little difficult to get through, the other two cars could easily get through.

Lin Xin immediately guessed that it was Blackie's group who had opened up a path. Thinking about it, they were pretty strong, even these 30 odd people managed to move these cars out of the way.

Gu Cheng was too lazy to start cleaning the car. He let the people on the bus get off, then went to the entrance to find a relatively clean car. The dozen or so people squeezed into separate cars, filling them up to the brim with three cars before driving out.

It turned out that it was also because of his bus's swagger that he was followed along the way. This time, they simply didn't drive the bus anymore. In any case, there were tents in Gu Cheng's space, and the weather was neither too hot nor too cold for him to handle. At most, he could take out his car at night when no one was looking.

Bighead Yang looked at the map. If they wanted to continue heading north, they would have to pass through Jinan City (Please don't take it seriously when it's written that they're blind). This meant that they had to pass through a dense group of zombies. No one had much confidence in this method of escape. Up until now, they could kill ten or twenty zombies on their own, but a group of zombies … It was the feeling of sending a sheep into a tiger's den.

Gu Cheng considered for a moment before deciding to take the risk. Previously in H City, he had also managed to escape from the group of zombies like this. As long as nothing unexpected happened, with their team's strength, it shouldn't be a problem.

Lin Xin did not object to this. Although the other three families were still a little worried, they had already made their decision and agreed. The farther into the city they drove, the more crowded the roads became, and they were forced to travel twenty or thirty yards at a time. Gu Cheng used his spiritual energy to scout the traffic and the number of zombies in front of him. When he came across cars blocking the road, he kept them all in space. Once he found an empty space, he would throw them all out. Hearing the engine of the car, the other zombies also came out from the various corners, most of them still being taken care of by Gu Cheng. Lin Xin and the others who had been slowly cleared up weren't worried, Grandpa Liu's fireball blade was rather reliable.

Even so, they had spent almost two or three hours in the city and had only covered half the distance. If there was no traffic jam before the apocalypse, it would take less than an hour. Half a day later, Grandpa Liu and the others had already used up most of their superpower. Although Gu Cheng was still able to persevere, taking into account the battle prowess of the entire convoy, Lin Xin still called out to them to stop midway. Everyone found an office building to use as a resting area. By the time the drivers of the three cars had parked their cars, the other people had already finished killing the zombies wandering around the hall. Today was the most tiring day since they had left for the North. Gu Cheng reminded everyone to consume the crystal cores in time to replenish their energy, while he urged his spiritual force to check out the activity within the building. To his surprise, there were still people living in the building.

Ji Nan was already very close to the northern base. Why didn't these people go to the base to seek shelter, instead, did they hide inside an office building like this? The thought only passed through his mind for a moment. They would be gone soon anyway, and those people had nothing to do with him. At this moment, Lin Xin took a wet towel and passed it to him to wipe his face, Gu Cheng's attention immediately returning to her.

The sofas in the hall were covered with all sorts of suspicious dark stains. Seeing that no one had anywhere to sit, Gu Cheng pulled out a few chairs from the interiors of the room. Everyone swallowed their crystal cores, closing their eyes and resting their eyes. Lin Xin quietly held his hand, and Gu Cheng turned towards her. The two of them looked at each other in silence for a while, then smiled warmly.

Gu Cheng pulled her into his embrace, then closed his eyes and rested while hugging her. In fact, the level 2 crystal cores that he was able to acquire right now were not of much use to him either. Gu Cheng had still been constantly using his superpowers during his advancement, using them near the critical limits every time to increase the capacity of his superpowers. Half an hour later, when everyone was almost done resting, Gu Cheng took out the gas furnace from his space. In order to save time, everyone had already eaten instant noodles at noon. It was a luxurious version of instant noodles, with more than a dozen fried eggs and frozen prawns, as well as a handful of vegetables. Not long later, the entire hall was filled with the tempting fragrance of instant noodles. Elder Lin Xin had long since brought out a bowl of noodles and was waiting to eat it.

Gu Cheng simply couldn't do anything about her. Afraid that she would be scalded, he hurriedly smiled wryly as he brought the bowl over to fish for his noodles. Those who didn't know what he was doing to her.

Grandma Liu and the others all knew about the couple's noodles lawsuit, and they couldn't help but tease them for a bit. The great hall was filled with the fragrance of noodles as well as laughter.

"Come out!" he shouted coldly.

"Don't, I'm a human, I'm not a zombie." A person came walking out from behind the door, trembling. His clothes were dirty to the point that it was impossible to see his original color. His face was covered by greasy hair, making it hard to see his face, but from the sound of his voice, one could tell that he was a woman.

Her gaze first fell on the two pots of porridge, swallowing her saliva before looking at the crowd. As she spoke, tears suddenly streamed down her face.

"Hello, my name is Yuan Zishan, do you want to head north? "Can you bring me along? I can do anything, and I also have food. I can pay the fare. Please, take me along with you …"

Everyone looked at Gu Cheng without saying anything. They all knew that he always hated picking up people on the streets. He was the one who had the final say in the carriage of war, even though this girl looked pitiful, especially the older generation like Grandma Liu and the others. Although Yuan Zishan was still a bit dirty, her eyes were still quite lively. She definitely wouldn't be so ugly if she was washed clean.

"The convoy does not include outsiders." You can leave now, I'm sorry to disturb our lunch. "

Only now did Lin Xin notice that this Yuan Zishan had quite the eye. After she had finished speaking, she immediately deduced from everyone's reaction that Gu Cheng was the leader of this convoy. Those pair of big watery eyes had not looked at anyone else since then, and had been staring at Gu Cheng the entire time. For some unknown reason, she felt a little concerned in her heart. Feeling uneasy, she held Gu Cheng's hand, subconsciously announcing to the others that this man was mine!

Yuan Zishan didn't expect the iceberg man to remain unmoved. She had been using this move since S City and hadn't failed all the way. It didn't matter if there was no water to wash their bodies. The men were used to women being dirty in this apocalyptic world – water was so precious, who would be willing to use it to clean their bodies now? At most, they would just take a tissue and wipe themselves with water. Every time she looked at these men with tears in her eyes, without exception, they were all subdued by her tears. They willingly brought her along, and even voluntarily took care of her food and shelter.

She had noticed when their car was parked downstairs that they had killed the horrible monsters downstairs. Then, on the second floor, she smelled the fragrance of their instant noodles and fried eggs and couldn't sit still any longer.

She actually didn't have much to eat anymore. Aside from the second floor of this office building, there were zombies everywhere. The last man who took her to the north didn't have anything to eat, and the car ran out of gas. The two of them were lucky enough to enter the office building, but they didn't expect there to be so many zombies, so the two of them finally ran to the second floor to hide. In the beginning, he could still find a packet or two of biscuits and other snacks — probably left behind from his previous work here. Three days after the loss of food, the man was so hungry that he wanted to kill her for food. Luckily, Yuan Zishan had prepared for this and had strangled him with a belt. She still didn't dare to eat meat. She had been clever enough to hide half a packet of biscuits while she was searching for it, so she had been able to survive by eating only two a day until now. Gu Cheng's group was her only hope, so Yuan Zishan bravely ran down from the second floor. Thankfully, there were no zombies on the stairs!

The first thing she saw was instant noodles. She tried her best not to drool as she spoke, and Yuan Zishan followed her experience to the end. She thought that one of the many men in the team would take her there. In that heart-wrenching silence, she immediately noticed the focus of everyone's gaze — — Gu Cheng. He looked at her without emotion, his eyes utterly cold, as if he had seen through all her tricks. When she saw the most beautiful and eye-catching person in the group, Lin Xin, who was holding the man's hand with a wary look on her face, Yuan Zishan could only bitterly smile in her heart.

She had to thank this beauty for thinking so highly of her, right? It seemed like she had miscalculated today. This group of people's clothes were neat and tidy, unlike her pathetic and defeated appearance. The men all had their own masters … With sorrow in her heart, two streams of tears really fell down, causing Grandma Liu and the others to feel a pang in their hearts.

"Little Gu, how about we take her with us? Let her drive a car to catch up with us, we can handle the food. If there's anything wrong with the road, we won't take her, what do you think?" The soft-hearted Grandma Liu could not help but plead.

The two elders of the Sun family also echoed his sentiments. Gu Cheng looked at Lin Xin, although she was a little worried, seeing that he was indeed pitiful, and seeing that the elders of both families were so pleading, she nodded her head in agreement.

Yuan Zishan looked at Lin Xin with a bit of jealousy, they were all women, how could she have such a good life. In just a few rounds, she could clearly see that the three families were softhearted and scheming. That man, on the other hand, was extremely obedient to that woman and looked at her with a soft gaze.

Seeing Lin Xin who had never suffered before and had been well protected by a man, her heart felt as if it had been soaked in vinegar, extremely sour.

Yuan Zishan's acting was very good. No one present could see that she was hostile towards Lin Xin. Previously, they had agreed that the Liu Clan was the one to take over this mess of hers. Gu Cheng was the one who didn't interfere in any matters concerning her after this.

Grandma Liu and the others were especially enthusiastic. They got some Sun family members to get some hot water for Yuan Zishan to bathe in, and then got Bighead Yang to help them get a car so that they could follow them on the road. There was plenty of gas in Granny Liu's space. Some of the gas from the gas stations near the highway was collected by the bases, some escaped the net, and some of the gas from the cars along the way was stored in dozens of large tanks.

Lin Xin saw that the Liu Family didn't even try to cover up their abilities in front of Yuan Zishan and was a bit worried. She always had a bad feeling about Yuan Zishan, but maybe it was because she was too nervous. Fortunately, Grandma Liu and the others remembered that they could not casually tell anyone about the crystal core. They could only say that it was the meteor shower in the apocalypse that awakened a superpower.

Yuan Zishan's face was still pretty, but she was too thin and her complexion wasn't good. Miss Ma's clothes were too small for her to wear. Later on, it was the He Meiwei of the Sun family who found her a piece of clothes. She lowered her head in embarrassment, taking the chance to glance at Gu Cheng out of the corner of her eyes when no one else was paying attention to her. She was disappointed to find that the other party had not even glanced at her, concentrating on sharpening an apple with a small knife, digging out a small piece while feeding it to the person in his embrace.

Don't be discouraged, she told herself. When I recover some of my strength, I won't be any worse than she is. When the time came, he would immediately kneel under her skirt. Men, she had seen many of them. Wasn't that the case too? She proudly glanced at the Liu family member. Before she cleaned up, he didn't even look at her. Once she was washed and became beautiful, wouldn't he come over himself?

She had already retracted her gaze and was happily talking to Bighead Yang, who was standing to the side. What do you mean by 'thank you big brother Yang for helping me find the car'? Without you, I really don't know what I would have done.

Because it took them over an hour to get out, Yuan Zishan sighed as she opened the door and said that she had been starving for too long, so much so that she didn't even have the strength for her legs anymore. The zealous Liu family then assigned another driver to her car. Gu Cheng looked on coldly. The Liu family had taken in such a beautiful female snake. He wondered if they would regret it one day. Not everyone would be grateful for the kindness he had shown her in the apocalypse. They weren't going to lose out this time. Next time, they would still act in such a rash manner. As smart as ever, Lin Xin was smart. The mistresses of the three families quickly became friends with Yuan Zishan, but from start to finish, Lin Xin never got close to her.

In truth, Gu Cheng's thoughts were wrong. Lin Xin was completely unable to see through Yuan Zishan's intentions. She was merely a woman acting on her sixth sense and had faintly sensed that her opponent was not a good person. Furthermore, she had some intentions towards Gu Cheng. Towards her love rival, she wasn't that worried about running over to be her friend. It was already good enough that she didn't beat him up. In any case, with the Liu Family members keeping watch over her, Lin Xin only had to watch as she did not allow her to get too close to Gu Cheng.

Yuan Zishan was indeed a character. After they left Jinan City and went on the provincial road, she became the most popular person in the entire convoy within the time it took for dinner. Because Gu Cheng had already clearly indicated that he didn't welcome Yuan Zishan, the issue of food for the convoy had been resolved separately from that day onwards. In the past, everyone in the base had been able to make do with the porridge, noodles and steamed buns every day. After leaving the base with Gu Cheng and the rest, they all had their meals together with Gu Cheng and the rest. Although Gu Cheng's expression was unsightly, he was truly not stingy. Whatever they ate, everyone else would eat as well. He had gotten used to fresh fruits, vegetables, chickens, fish and meat every day. Now, he had returned to a simple rice noodle diet. It was truly easy to be frugal, but difficult to be frugal!

Yuan Zishan had clearly seen them eating fresh eggs before, as well as the apples in Gu Cheng's hands … She had always thought that there were these things in the Liu family's space. Weren't there always such scenarios in novels where space could maintain the state when food was put in. Several times she tried to find out about their food reserves, and several times Granny Liu listened carefully. Although there were still some frozen meat and corn from the cold storage in the service area, there weren't many of them, so she didn't take them out to cook. Everyday, all he did was make some canned soup, ham and sausages to cook soy eggs and other food.

The men didn't care much about the food. What they cared about was the freshness of the wildflowers. It was true that the man at home was helping each other pass the apocalyptic days with his arms around each other's shoulders. It was inevitable that he would get tired of looking at his old face now that the days were so broad. Yuan Zishan was young and beautiful, and her words were always flattering. After spending a few days together with her, it was also good to have a chat with her and build up a man's confidence.

When the women saw their husband become more and more attentive to Yuan Zishan, they finally became aware of the crisis. The Liu and Sun Families had elders. After being told by the old man to help others, they had to pay attention to the influence of others. After that, they kept a distance from Yuan Zishan. The couple was the only couple in Boss Yang's house, and they had a quarrel. Other than sleeping in the same bed, they did not speak another word during the day.

Yuan Zishan's position in the team became awkward. The women still managed to maintain their peace with her. After all, they hadn't done anything out of line. Who else could they blame but themselves? The men were either evading or embarrassed, no longer responding to her as they had before. Of course, this subtle change couldn't escape Yuan Zishan's eyes. She knew that it would be too late if she didn't make a move now. Unfortunately, the flesh on her face had yet to grow back. She looked at the Yang family's tent, it wasn't time to sleep yet, Bighead Yang's wife was chatting with him in the tent, she wouldn't be back until 9 pm, Bighead Yang has to watch the night, she should still be asleep at this time … She hadn't tried to decide if she was willing or not, but after thinking that Yang Bighead wouldn't be able to escape in any case, she turned her attention back to the tent set up some distance away from the three families, and mustered up her courage to walk over.

Gu Cheng and Lin Xin were currently completing a puzzle game that they had interrupted a while ago — the puzzle had been broken. Gu Cheng and Lin Xin were currently completing a puzzle game that they had interrupted a while ago — A mental barrier had been set up outside the tent. Yuan Zishan had tried a few times, but to no avail. She could only call out Gu Cheng's name nonstop. It seemed like she wouldn't leave until he left.

Lin Xin, who was hiding in the tent, was completely speechless. Wasn't it obvious that she was going to steal a man from her? This was too much of a bully. She angrily tossed the jigsaw puzzle in her hands and jumped up, rolling up her sleeves in an attempt to go out and meet this shameless fellow to let her know why the flowers were so red.

"What, you're feeling the same pain as Bighead Yang?" Although they didn't eat together and had watched Yuan Zishan's actions from afar, Lin Xin, who had experienced the baptism of many green teas in the company, wasn't fooled by this lone flower of the apocalypse. Although she knew that Gu Cheng had not even taken that woman seriously and had estimated that she was a prostitute, being provoked to the doorstep like this caused her to be unable to keep her mouth shut for a moment out of anger.

She hurriedly apologized to Gu Cheng. No matter how good their relationship was, it had to be carefully maintained. People's hearts were all grown up. If she injured Gu Cheng for such a woman, it really wouldn't be worth it.

"Don't worry, I'm just happy to see you get jealous." He touched her face soothingly, and his eyes went cold. "I'll deal with the one outside myself."

Lin Xin nodded, "Then you can go. I'll wait here for you."

She sat back down to put together the puzzle. She had waited two minutes for Gu Cheng to return, but he still hadn't come back. Lin Xin thought that Gu Cheng wouldn't be too angry and would start beating him up, so she hurriedly stood up and walked outside.

As soon as he opened the tent door, the two who had been attracted by her movements turned around at the same time. A look of surprise flashed across Gu Cheng's face, and the moment he turned around, he revealed Yuan Zishan who he had previously blocked.

Following Lin Xin's line of sight, Gu Cheng turned around and discovered Yuan Zishan's actions. She had been shamelessly threatening him just now. If it weren't for the fact that they were on the road looking after her, she would have already revealed the secret of the company. He almost sneered when he heard this. Just how did this woman come all the way to Jinan with this kind of intelligence? It was hard for him to endure listening to all of her nonsense.

It was obvious that the man's head was bleeding as he thought about it. Thus, he could not care less about the head on his neck. Gu Cheng had always been very curious. He really wanted to see how far those three clans would be disturbed by this woman before understanding that kindness was something that could not be freely given in the apocalypse. He didn't think that this kind of stupid woman who he didn't care about would successfully trick him in front of Lin Xin.

Just as he was thinking of how to explain this to Lin Xin, she smiled and glanced at him, shaking her head. She told him not to say anything and in the next second, her hand had already reached his palm.

Yuan Zishan had spent a lot of effort to hide the pride in her eyes. She had been waiting for Lin Xin to come out.

She knew that Gu Cheng was a bone that would be difficult to bite off. She also had no intention of luring him down so easily. He was so powerful that Yuan Zishan instinctively felt that she might die miserably if she took the initiative to throw herself into his arms. She wasn't willing to let them go just like that. How could she, Lin Xin, capture such an outstanding man? Why would Gu Cheng look at him like he was a bug?

If she can't get it, no one else can. Thus, she took advantage of the moment when Lin Xin had come out to Gu Cheng to be distracted, taking off her skirt. Of course, she intentionally wore nothing underneath it, using it as a compensation for the broken relationship between Gu Cheng and Lin Xin.

Unfortunately, she had anticipated the beginning, but not the end of the story. Lin Xin looked at her ironically, then glanced up and down her body, clicking her tongue, "I didn't expect you to have the habit of taking off your clothes while chatting with someone, but it's a pity that your figure is too weak, you don't have anything that you shouldn't have."

She stared at the dried lines on Yuan Zishan's abdomen with a venomous glint in her eyes. Those were the lines caused by the sudden loss of weight and the inability to retract her skin. Before the apocalypse, Yuan Zishan was a plentiful beauty, but she had a very bad heart. She couldn't bear to see someone else doing better than her. She looked at her breasts again, and Yuan Zishan, finally embarrassed by her gaze, lifted her skirt and got ready to put it on.

"Miss Yuan, it's better if you eat more and return to your meat. How pitiful, your breasts are already drooping from hunger."

Gu Cheng, who had been facing away from them all this time, couldn't help but laugh. This time, Yuan Zishan no longer had the face to appear in front of them.

Lin Xin let out a sigh, "She ran off just like that. I haven't even told her that you don't like reed sticks, but you like larger ones."

Gu Cheng grabbed her by the waist, a naughty smile appearing on his face, "Are you sure it's not you who likes a little bigger?"

Lin Xin suddenly lost her momentum. Her previously fierce and forceful attitude was immediately dispelled. She was stuck close to his body with a face flushed down to her neck. She fiercely pinched his arm, spat at him, and said, "You scoundrel!" He ran back into the tent.

Gu Cheng rubbed his nose. Since he had already been scolded as a hoodlum, he might as well go back and do what a hoodlum should do.
