Chapter 19 Kidnapping

"No."

Su Ling refused directly, concisely and efficiently.

She looked at the pregnant woman with a bulging belly, "I'll clear out the zombies in this area."

The implication being:

Go do what you need to do and don't disturb me.

With that, Su Ling turned to leave.

The girlfriend in the couple spoke, "What's wrong with you? Someone needs your help, and you should help them, both morally and legally. Besides, we have a pregnant woman here."

Su Ling ignored her, walking away with her Tang dao, completely unfazed by the girl's moral manipulation.

Seeing that Su Ling wasn't paying them any mind, the couple and the pregnant woman gave up. The three exchanged glances, and the pregnant woman spoke first, "My home isn't far. I'll head back first. You two should go back quickly too."

"I don't know what's happening. How can good people suddenly change like this? Sigh..."

The pregnant woman sighed as she spoke, turning and walking towards home.

The boyfriend in the couple saw this and wanted to escort the pregnant woman. Just as he was about to act, the girlfriend grabbed him and shook her head at him.

Fortunately, not long after the pregnant woman left, her husband arrived, looking anxious. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw she was unharmed.

After watching the pregnant woman and her husband leave, the girlfriend looked at her boyfriend. "That girl was pretty arrogant. I didn't like her. Should we teach her a lesson?"

The boyfriend shook his head and called out to the girl, "Jiaojiao, forget it. We don't know what's going on right now. Let's go back quickly and check our phones to understand what's happening."

"I distinctly remember us going for a walk after dinner, but how did it get light when I woke up..."

"Is that hard to guess?" Jiaojiao looked at the boy, then linked her arm with his. "Brother Xu Yu, don't you usually watch zombie movies or read apocalypse novels? This situation screams apocalypse and people turning into zombies."

Xu Yu's expression tensed, and he said with a serious tone, "If that's the case, we need to hoard supplies."

"Hahaha." Jiaojiao covered her mouth and burst into laughter. When she had laughed enough, she leaned on Xu Yu, giggling uncontrollably. "Brother Xu Yu, you're so gullible. You believe anything I make up. Okay, I'm not teasing you anymore. We really should go back and check the news to see what's going on."

After parting ways with the three, Su Ling directly circled the villa area, clearing out all the wandering zombies before heading towards her home.

After a good workout, she felt hot, her clothes soaked through, and her hair dripping wet.

She took a popsicle from her space, tore off the wrapper, and held it in her mouth, walking leisurely down the road with her Tang dao and umbrella on her back.

She needed crystal cores, a large number of crystal cores, to build her exclusive mobile fortress for the people she wanted to protect.

Therefore, she had to leave the villa area where she was currently living.

Either she would go out during the day, to places with high foot traffic in apartment buildings in the residential area, to kill zombies and collect crystal cores.

And at night, she would return to the villa area and cultivate in her space.

In her previous life, she met Sister Na a week after the apocalypse.

She planned to leave the villa area when the time was near.

After thinking it through, Su Ling quickened her pace. She needed a bag as a cover, otherwise, suddenly having things appear in her hands would cause unnecessary trouble.

Su Ling returned to the villa. After confirming there was no danger around, she stood to the side and entered the gate code.

As the gate opened, she flashed into the yard, and the gate closed behind her.

She put on a motorcycle mask, wrapped her hands with layer upon layer of cloth for protection, and then rode her bicycle out.

Jiaojiao stood on the second floor of the villa and saw Su Ling riding away on her bicycle through the window. She turned to look at Xu Yu, who was searching for a signal in the living room, then walked over. "Brother Xu Yu, let's go out and take a look. Staying at home isn't going to solve anything."

Xu Yu fiddled with his devices for a long time without success. Hearing Jiaojiao's words, he hesitated, then nodded. "That's true. If we can't contact the outside, we should go out and see. Wait for me, I'll drive."

"Okay~"
