Fu Shinan glanced at the skinny man, recalling that Fu Gui’s owner had mentioned someone chasing after Fu Gui to eat him. It was likely this tall, thin man. She reached out and patted Fu Gui’s head. “Good boy, let’s go inside and eat. Don’t care about him anymore.”
The group watched as Ji Zan and the others acted so arrogantly, which filled them with anger, yet they dared not voice their displeasure. To put it plainly, these people were opportunistic, or else they wouldn’t have followed Wang Tianba. If Ji Zan hadn’t displayed his skills, they wouldn’t have maintained their composure.
Fu Shinan paid no heed to their reactions. Her mind was consumed by the cans of food and rice in front of her.
Seeing the food, Nana couldn’t hold back any longer. She rushed to the table, grabbed a handful of rice, and crouched in a corner, devouring it hungrily.
Fu Gui, on the other hand, sat obediently to the side, keeping an eye on Fu Shinan, waiting for her response.
Fu Shinan opened a can of food, mixed it with some rice, and placed it in front of Fu Gui. “Eat up.”
Fu Gui immediately opened his big mouth and began to eat.
Ji Zan opened two more cans of food and handed them to Fu Shinan and Xiao Chang’an.
Fu Shinan didn’t hesitate, she took the food and began eating. At the moment the food entered her mouth, she felt like crying. It was the first time in her life that she found ordinary canned ham so delicious, and the rice was incredibly fragrant and tasty.
No one spoke as they ate eagerly. Finally, their stomachs were full, and they looked visibly revived. Even Fu Gui’s drooping tail perked up high, swaying energetically, and he regained his vitality.
Fu Shinan watched as everyone’s spirits lifted and felt her own mood improve. In a world shrouded in darkness during these apocalyptic times, the glimmer of hope in people’s eyes was a sign of life. She glanced outside at the group of men who clearly held resentment, then whispered, “What about those people?”
Ji Zan took a sip of water, his voice returning to its magnetic tone. “This place belongs to them. I said we’d stay for a few days, and when we leave, the place will still be theirs. We won’t stir up trouble.”
Fu Shinan felt that these people were probably suppressed by Ji Zan, but they probably feel some resentment. However, there was nothing they could do about it. After a moment of thought, she asked, “But how are we going to leave? Have you found any transportation? We also need gasoline, and we’ve searched most of the city, but those things are mostly destroyed…”
“I’ll go ask those people. They’ve been here longer than us, so they might
Imow, ” Ji Zan replied, getting up and heading to the corridor outside.
The group of people in the corridor were murmuring something when they saw Ji Zan coming out. They immediately fell silent and greeted him with cautious smiles.
“You don’t need to be so afraid of me. I killed Wang Tianba because we had old grievances. I think you should have noticed that I knew him from before,” Ji Zan said calmly.
Hearing Ji Zan’s words, the expressions of the several people visibly relaxed, but their true thoughts remained unknown.
One of the men gathered the courage to ask, “May we know why you’ve come out?”
Ji Zan gave the man an approving look, appreciating his tactfulness. Such people were likely to live longer than others. “I need a car with fuel. If you can find a vehicle, I’ll leave immediately. I’ll keep my word and won’t take any more of your food.”
The skinny, tall man who had been bitten by the dog earlier, and who had been limping, spoke up. “I know a place with quite a few cars, and there should be some fuel. However, there are many zombies inside, so it might not be easy to enter.”
Ji Zan glanced at him. “You don’t need to worry about that. Just show us the way.”
The skinny man, feeling intimidated by Ji Zan’s decisiveness and the fact that he was being asked to lead the way, hesitated. “The zombies there will attack people during the day too. If not for that, we would have had a car by now… So, I can only take you nearby. I dare not go inside. Even if you kill me, I won’t
dare… ”
“Behave yourself. I have no reason to kill you. Just lead the way. I’ll have someone patch you up first, and then you can guide us,” Ji Zan said, walking away to find Fu Shinan. He couldn’t leave them here; after all, he couldn’t trust the people in this place.
Once Ji Zan was inside, the most tactful man pushed the skinny, tall man and whispered, “How dare you lead them there?”
The skinny, tall man’s expression turned resolute as he glanced at his dog-bitten wound. He lowered his voice and replied, “What’s it got to do with me? He’s the one looking for a car, and there are indeed cars there! Whether they can get them or not depends on their luck..”
