Not only Zuo Ran, but also Xu Lingyan from before.
The ones who had teamed up with Mo Chen and gotten lost were also there.
Only one of the boys was constantly rubbing the back of his neck, appearing somewhat dazed.
His face was pale.
Seeing Mo Chen, Zuo Ran was momentarily stunned with surprise.
Turning to see Luo Xiao Le, her expression showed displeasure.
"Luo Xiao Le, why is it you again?" Xu Lingyan next to her, her annoyance clearly written on her face, rolled her eyes.
Several people behind them heard this and were surprised.
They stepped forward one after another.
Luo Xiao Le was shocked to see that the people who had gotten separated, including the boys who liked Zuo Ran, had all reunited here.
Good heavens, all familiar faces.
"What, you know each other?" the guy with the slicked-back hair asked, surprised.
"Let's not stand around at the entrance," Nie Yuan behind them, carrying supplies from the supermarket, was sweating profusely. "Let's go in and take stock of the supplies first."
"Zuo Ran, you guys go in first," the guy with the slicked-back hair invited warmly.
Once everyone was inside, they formed a circle and sat down.
Rubbing their hands with delight, they began to take stock of their day's spoils.
"We got so much today!" Yang Lin, Nie Yuan's teammate, had a look of pure joy on his face.
"I thought it was going to be a tough fight, but it turned out the supermarket had already been cleared by someone. Except for a few zombies around the corner leading to the second floor, we didn't see any other standing zombies!" Nie Yuan was also very excited.
"Who do you think did it? We can't even deal with them, and they were quietly taken care of?"
"I'm thinking..." the boy who usually stuck close to the guy with the slicked-back hair lowered his voice.
"It must have been the big shot on the third floor!" he said, clenching his fists with conviction.
"Think about it, who else would have so many weapons to clear out all the supermarket zombies at once? How could anyone else do it!"
"And," another person beside him added, "I wondered why there was movement on the third floor this morning! I figured after that big shot cleared the zombies and took his supplies, he was targeted by someone, which led to a conflict, and then the big shot dealt with them!"
The two spoke with such vivid detail, it was as if they were present at the scene.
Upon hearing their account, the others suddenly understood and nodded in agreement!
After all, everyone here had personally experienced how ferocious the zombies in that supermarket were, at the cost of their companions' lives...
"That young master on the third floor is really something, isn't he? He didn't even take all the supplies, leaving a lot behind, which is why we were able to get so much food back today!"
They nodded in admiration, almost won over by Qin Mingyang's character.
Only Nie Yuan, and his two companions who had been saved by Luo Xiao Le's group, quietly looked at Luo Xiao Le, who was sitting to the side quietly eating biscuits, and the injured Mo Chen.
Then they exchanged glances and began to discuss in hushed tones.
"Do you think it was Mo Chen and them? Their combat skills are so good, and most importantly, they also went out last night, right? Coming back injured this morning, could it be too much of a coincidence?" Yang Lin's eyes were filled with curiosity.
"That's what I thought at first..." Nie Yuan's expression became somber as he recalled the scene earlier that day.
"But don't forget, the zombie corpses in front of the supermarket were almost piled up to the sky! And it looked like they all died at the same time, killed in one blow." Nie Yuan felt goosebumps rise on his skin as he remembered the scene of the supermarket filled with black blood.
"Even though Mo Chen is skilled, he definitely couldn't achieve that level." Nie Yuan sighed.
"That's true..." they sighed in unison.
Zhu Hui, hearing about Qin Mingyang's situation, excitedly joined the conversation!
Unfortunately, she couldn't get any specific information about the third floor.
"By the way, Xu Lingyan, how did you end up with them?" Zhu Hui asked curiously.
She had chatted with Xu Lingyan before due to her abilities, and they had become somewhat familiar.
"Don't even mention it. After we got separated that day, we panicked and ran in through another entrance, hiding for two days." Xu Lingyan and the others looked disheveled and somewhat embarrassed.
Of course, except for Zuo Ran, who still looked exceptionally radiant.
"Today, we heard from another survivor that there was a large supermarket here, so we decided to try our luck and happened to meet that guy with the slicked-back hair." She paused and continued in a very gossipy tone.
"That guy with the slicked-back hair seems to have taken a liking to Zuo Ran and offered to protect her, so he brought us all back."
Zhu Hui was surprised to hear this. She glanced at the guy with the slicked-back hair and saw him indeed looking at Zuo Ran, his face flushing slightly.
She immediately pouted, lamenting that being beautiful was good, attracting attention and receiving preferential treatment.
Meanwhile, Zhou Xiao Jun was holding Luo Shu's hand, using his ability to eavesdrop on their conversation.
"What's going on?" Luo Shu said with a look of indignation after hearing Zhou Xiao Jun's relayed conversation.
"Don't we have plenty of handsome men and beautiful women here too?" Zhou Xiao Jun also said indignantly!
"Exactly! Mo Chen is already top-tier, right? Although he's only a little bit more handsome than me," Luo Shu said boastfully, then turned to look at Luo Xiao Le.
"Our little captain is also a beauty, isn't she!"
Zhou Xiao Jun hadn't looked closely before, but now, upon closer inspection, he realized that Luo Xiao Le was indeed a beauty with excellent bone structure!
It's just that perhaps due to lack of nutrition, her face was sallow and she was skeletal thin...
Zhou Xiao Jun and Luo Shu exchanged glances, inwardly cursing the others for being so blind!
Luo Xiao Le, completely unaware that she had been discussed by others,
seeing Mo Chen still sleeping soundly beside her, she covered him again with a blanket.
Then she moved next to Zhou Xiao Jun.
"Zhou Xiao Jun, can you do me a favor?" she asked sneakily.
"Xiao Le, why are you being so polite to me!" Zhou Xiao Jun had seen Mo Chen make exceptions for Luo Xiao Le countless times and already considered Luo Xiao Le one of their own.
"Can you use your ability to help me listen for news from the third floor?" she blinked her big eyes.
She had no way of knowing Qin Mingyang's movements and couldn't go to the third floor at any time to inquire about Qin Mingyang's intel; it would be too sudden.
"Are you interested in that young master?" Zhou Xiao Jun said with a sly look.
"Of course," Luo Xiao Le replied instinctively.
Upon hearing this, Luo Shu suddenly froze. Could their little captain be smitten?
He then propped himself up, perked his ears, and crept closer to them, looking like he was desperately trying to catch some gossip.
"It's not that kind of interest!" Luo Xiao Le glanced at Luo Shu's gossipy demeanor and felt utterly disappointed!
Why is this guy so nosy!
"In short, can you help me?" It's a long story, and she couldn't explain it now.
"Of course, Xiao Le, you've asked, how could I not help? Wait a moment."
Before long, he conveyed what he had heard to Luo Xiao Le.
"What are they saying? The rescue plane was supposed to arrive, but it's late. Something must have happened?" Zhou Xiao Jun couldn't quite understand what they were talking about.
Luo Xiao Le understood instantly. No wonder Qin Mingyang kept checking the time at the bell tower, and then the entire group suddenly disappeared and rushed to the airport.
So, there was a rendezvous... a helicopter or something?
She pursed her lips.
Not only did the other party have special forces protecting him, but under such disaster, they could still deploy helicopters...
Qin Mingyang's family's influence seemed more complicated than she had imagined.
However, it seemed this plane had a problem and would never arrive.
"Is there anything else? They said they're going to the nearest military base to see if they can mobilize other air resources," Zhou Xiao Jun's eyes were full of shock.
They had also wanted to go to this military base at the time, because the uncle of Li Song, who sacrificed himself in the supermarket alley, was the commander of that base.
Their current objective was still this military base.
After all, in such chaotic times, even if order was in disarray, people instinctively hoped for the protection of well-equipped soldiers.
But that Qin Mingyang could directly go to the military base and attempt to mobilize air resources...
His family was truly influential!
Zhou Xiao Jun's envious expression was very evident.
"And also..." Zhou Xiao Jun said, listening, with a confused expression.
"What else?" Luo Xiao Le's eyes widened, incredibly curious.
"They're talking about... trying to activate... some kind of ring..."
Luo Xiao Le's pupils suddenly contracted!
