Chapter 44 - Why did his words sound so ambiguous? (1)

Bei Nuan had finished most of the task, but she didn't dare to show the slightest sign of happiness in her expression. Even an idiot could see how unhappy Lu Xingchi's expression was. It wasn't an ordinary unhappiness. Boss Lu was probably embarrassed that his entire team had rebelled together.

"Let's eat first. We can talk later." At a deadlock, Lu Xingchi took a step back and shelved the unsolvable problem.

The chicken and rice that Du Ruo cooked were of extremely high standards.

Du Ruo wasn't satisfied though. "Too bad there isn't lemon grass to add more flavor and color."

Bei Nuan thought this meal was already pretty good. The chicken skin was bright yellow and was smooth, soft, springy, and chewy. The chicken meat was so tender that it practically slipped into her mouth. It was served with three small dishes of dipping sauce - chili sauce, ginger and garlic sauce, and sweet dark soy sauce. The dish's flavor was definitely authentic.

The rice smelled really good. Even if there was no chicken, Bei Nuan could eat two big bowls of the rice that was flavored with chicken fat, garlic, and chicken stock.

"After we finish eating, we'll go out to check if there's a supermarket nearby to help her collect supplies, " Lu Xingchi said. He hadn't changed his mind on insisting on leaving Bei Nuan behind.

"Okay," Du Ruo cheerfully replied, "There's three of us. We should save more."

Lu Xingchi: "..."

After the meal was over, Jiang Fei resolutely refused to stay in the house alone and insisted on going with them.

“Lu Xingchi will have to fight off zombies. He might not pay much attention to you," Jiang Fei whispered to Bei Nuan, "I'm worried he won't take care of you. It's better if I come along."

He kept his voice low, but Lu Xingchi still heard him. Lu Xingchi turned and looked at him with narrowed eyes. Jiang Fei responded with a harmless smile.

So in the end, they all got onto the jeep together.

In the jeep, Bei Nuan quietly asked Jiang Fei, "How did you end up in jail?"

The novel only said he had killed someone, but didn't give the reason.

Jiang Fei answered in a tender tone, "I fought against injustice."

"Fought against injustice? So you were unjustly sentenced?" Bei Nuan asked.

"No." Jiang Fei faintly smiled. "I forfeited my life when I committed murder."

Alright, his values were quite antiquated.

After driving into the city for a while and easily clearing scattered zombies on the road, Lu Xingchi saw a supermarket.

Bei Nuan saw the supermarket and thought; this was the same one written in the book, right?

In the novel, Lu Xingchi and the others had gone into the supermarket's warehouse to collect supplies. Although there were a lot of things in the warehouse, the stuff they could carry was limited. Moreover, on their way out, they had the bad luck to encounter bad people.

It was a bunch of local gangsters that had committed all kinds of atrocities. All of a sudden, these thugs had brandished guns at them and robbed them of their supplies and vehicles. The leader of these cannon fodder was called Zhou Cang. He immediately caught sight of Bei Nuan and wanted to take her too.

In the end, that was just Zhou Cang's pipe dream.

Lu Xingchi had snatched his gun from him. Not only did he get their supplies back, he also threw that b*stard Zhou Cang into a pile of zombies.

It was mentioned later in the novel that the first base in the infected zone was established in Jiangcheng. The base was located in a hidden underground tunnel that was far below the surface area and extended in all directions. Many survivors went there to seek shelter.

However, this had nothing to do with Lu Xingchi's team. The team left Jiangcheng with the materials they collected from the supermarket after the episode with the gangsters.
