Li Ran screamed, but no one paid any attention to her.

Everyone’s eyes were on the man. They followed him as he rushed to Li Ran’s car, hoping to get some food.

In the end, only the little boy who Li Ran gave some food to earlier was by her side.

His eyes were filled with fear as he clutched his food and water even tighter. In fact, he clutched the water bottle so tightly that he unconsciously crushed it.

Li Ran was pregnant with a child. She could not afford to be involved in any conflict.

She was afraid that her body might get hurt.

There was nothing she could do about what was happening in front of her.

She could only watch helplessly.

“Mom, you’re finally back. Sob.”

When the little boy saw that the beautiful girl from earlier had returned, tears poured out of his eyes. He hastily handed the leftover food and water to her as if they were precious treasures. He then wiped his tears away.

Li Ran looked at the girl and was a little surprised.

The girl handed her a cell phone and said with a smile, “Here, although the battery is low, you should be able to make a call. The owner said that you can only call for a total of 30 seconds and no more than that. I’ve begged him for a long time to borrow it.”

Li Ran looked at the girl gratefully and thanked her repeatedly.

Then, she dialed the number that her mother had left for her. She no longer cared about the situation involving her car.

‘Let them be.’

The phone began producing a beeping sound.

Li Ran glanced over and shouted, “Take all the food. Just give me the keys after you’re done. I still have other places to go.”

Just as she finished speaking, a key was thrown in her direction.

The corner of Li Ran’s mouth twitched.

Just as she was about to walk over and pick the keys up, the little boy did it instead. He handed them to her and shyly said, “Here.”

“Thank you.”

“Big sister, don’t listen to their nonsense. You’re a good person!” the little boy said softly.

Li Ran smiled at the little boy. She felt really warm in her heart.

Then, a voice could be heard coming from the phone.

“Hello? Are you Ran Ran?”

The voice from the other side was full of anticipation.

Li Ran immediately said, “Mom, it’s me!”

“Thank heavens! Ran Ran, you almost worried us to death! Why did you leave your home?!”

She had not finished speaking but the phone was snatched away by someone else.

Immediately, Li Ran could hear her father’s voice. He sounded impatient.

“Why are you not happy that your daughter is fine? You even scolded her. Seriously!”

“Geez! Dad, mom, this is someone else’s phone. I only have 30 seconds. Are the both of you together with Lin Nan?”

“That’s right. Lin Nan is just next to us.”

Li Ran’s father glanced at Lin Nan, who was looking very eager and anxious.

The phone was still in her father’s hand. Just as he was about to continue speaking…

“Dad, give the phone to Lin Nan!”

“Ah… Okay.”

“Lin Nan, I’m at the south of the city, about 1.2 miles from Duyue Supermarket. Where are you? Let’s find a way to meet up.”

“Where did you get the phone from?”

“That’s not important. Answer me quickly. I only have 30 seconds.”

“Alright, be careful. I’ll meet you at the Duyue Supermarket. If you encounter any zombies, park your car and hide nearby. I’ll find you.”

“Okay.”

“Not only do you have to be on guard against zombies, but you also have to be careful around humans, understand?”

“I know. Don’t worry.”

Li Ran was speaking as fast as she could. There was not much time left.

“Wait for me. I’m heading there right now.”

“Okay.”

Li Ran answered obediently as she held onto her keys tightly.

Suddenly, no sound could be heard.

She looked at the phone and saw that the screen had turned black.

The phone had run out of power.

The beautiful girl scratched her head helplessly. “The battery is dead. Previously, they spoke to the rescue team for a long time. They were afraid that the rescue team may not find our location.”

“Thank you. You’ve helped me a lot.”

Li Ran bowed to the girl. She knew that it was not easy for her to get the phone.

Otherwise, she would not have been gone for so long.

There was no one around her car anymore. Everyone was busy eating the biscuits. Some of them even looked at Li Ran as if she was a deity. She brought them food after all!

Li Ran did not know whether to laugh or cry as she looked at the condition of her car. It was turned upside down. She had no choice but to tidy it up herself.

Then, she got into the car and prepared to leave.
