Chapter 28 – I Do Not Need It

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“A place like this will not support unproductive people. It’s wishful thinking if you do not want to take risks. Either you go out to look for food, or someone else is willing to do it for you.”

Cui Chong’s voice sounded arrogant.

Li Ran scoffed at him and said, “That’s why I’m leaving. I can fend for myself.”

She was about to leave.

Cui Chong stared at her.

“I have a working cell phone. You need it, right?”

“I don’t.”

Cui Chong acted as if he did not hear her. He looked at her back and said in a loud voice, “Just sleep with me for one night and I’ll lend it to you.”

As soon as he said that, the people around them instantly raised their heads and looked in Li Ran’s direction.

Some of them even whistled and started cheering.

“Not everyone is lucky enough to get such good treatment. If you follow Brother Cui, you’ll definitely live a good life.”

“I know right? Why wouldn’t you sleep with him to guarantee your survival? It’s just one night.”

“That woman is so ungrateful. I guess the zombies hadn’t taught her a lesson yet.”

“…”

‘How ridiculous.’

She did not want to stay here any longer. She walked hastily towards her car.

The two bags that had been removed earlier had been put back in their places.

Without hesitation, Li Ran got into her car.

The woman with a gun looked at her. She pursed her lips and said nothing.

Her gaze followed Li Ran until she drove away.

She respected her for having the courage to leave, but that was about all.

…

Lin Nan drove back to his base. He personally attended to Li Ran’s parents and had found a room for them to stay in.

Then, he looked at Li Hui and asked, “Your room is next to theirs, okay?”

“Okay.”

Lin Nan nodded and handed her the key.

He was about to leave when Li Hui suddenly asked, “Where can I take a bath?”

“At the river.”

At first, Lin Nan did not even know about the existence of the river. He saw a few half-naked men walking towards somewhere and followed them. Only then did he discover the river.

Li Hui arrived at the river and saw the muddy water. She did not know if bathing in that river would make her cleaner or dirtier.

However, she only hesitated for two seconds before she scooped up some water with her hands

Then, she splashed it on her face.

After she was done washing her face, Li Hui looked at her appearance that was reflected in the river. She looked less pale.

Li Hui stood up, feeling satisfied.

Her upper body was soaked, but she did not intend to continue bathing.

Since the area was open-air, other people might see her.

She could not imagine that someone would willingly take off their clothes!

…

Li Hui rinsed her clothes and was about to return to her room.

Before she could, the big guy whom she had met earlier from the car rushed over to her.

He looked at Li Hui from head to toe and asked, “Did you wash your face here?”

“Yes. Is there a problem?”

The big guy smiled and said, “Some people had peed inside this river.”

“…”

Li Hui returned with a gloomy face.

Her entire day was ruined.

However, when she saw Lin Nan, she could not say a word.

She just kept consoling herself in her heart.

‘He still could not find his wife. That’s much worse than me washing my face with pee. It’s not like I drank it. I should not be so narrow-minded!’

…

“Hey, it’s our turn to collect supplies. Brother Nan said that you need to be trained. Otherwise, you would not even be able to protect yourself.”

It was the big guy. He smiled at Li Hui, hoping that she had already forgotten about what happened.

But it was useless.

Li Hui still looked like she was in despair. She did not respond to him at all.

The big guy looked at her helplessly. He tried to cheer her up.

“You did not believe what I said, did you? I was just joking.”

“What do you mean?”

“The water in the river is still quite clean. There was only one person who peed in it. That uncivilized person was already kicked out.”

“… Oh.”

The big guy put his hand on her shoulder and said gleefully, “Alright, then. Let’s go!”

“While we are on our scavenging mission, we can also look out for Brother Nan’s wife. This is what she looks like.”

The big guy gave Li Hui a photo of a girl.

‘What delicate features. She looks elegant too.’
