BC Chapter 94

Jiang Juncheng’s driving skills were definitely top-notch. Even though she had two people in the back, her driving route and rhythm were still as elegant and agile as a swimming dragon. However, Zhou Yuanyuan and He Linglong in the back were not as relaxed. The swaying of the car body and the inertia forced them to grab onto the person in front, their hearts in their throats, afraid that they would be thrown off the car if they relaxed even a little.

After escaping the encirclement of the zombies, the car finally reached full speed. Although the wind rushing head-on carried the heat of summer, it also had a taste of freedom and madness.

The three girls drove left and right, finally shaking off those faster zombies, but by this time the car had already driven far away from the edge of the city.

It was completely the opposite direction from Zhou Yuanyuan’s original destination.

In the end, Jiang Juncheng found an above-ground parking lot before driving the car in. Then, she parked the car in the innermost corner and let He Linglong and Zhou Yuanyuan get out.

“This place has a relatively open view, and it’s also the least crowded area near the city center on weekdays. If stray zombies accidentally wander in, you can use the car as an obstacle to try to shake them off and eliminate them. If you are discovered by a group of zombies, you can also jump over the wall and escape from here,” Jiang Juncheng explained to the two while parking the car.

The cautious He Linglong did not immediately talk to Jiang Juncheng and Zhou Yuanyuan after getting out of the car. Instead, she took light, quick steps to carefully observe all directions before turning to Jiang Juncheng and Zhou Yuanyuan and saying, “There are no zombies chasing us for now, but there are two cars with trapped zombies at the eight o’clock and five o’clock positions from my current location.”

As He Linglong spoke, she fiddled with the weapons she took out, checking the ammunition. Then, before the crisp sounds of clicking had completely dissipated, she threw away the rifle she had been carrying diagonally across her back, which she had snatched from Chen Su – the ammunition in that gun had been completely used up by He Linglong in the previous chaotic battle, and its function was no different from an ordinary fire stick at this time. For He Linglong, it had lost its value as a weapon, so she naturally disuseed it without regret.

On the other hand, Jiang Juncheng and Zhou Yuanyuan’s emotions were clearly still stuck in the near-death experience they had just had, and they hadn’t recovered yet. It was Jiang Juncheng who first made some guesses before excitedly approaching He Linglong and asking, “This… sister! Uh… seeing how skilled you are with gun·Machinery, could it be that you are a rescuer sent by the gov·ernment?”

In Jiang Juncheng’s view, it was unlikely that ordinary people could make such skilled gun·Machinery movements unless they were military personnel from the gov·ernment, or members of other organizations related to the gov·ernment. Either of these two situations would be great news for the survivors in Clear Water City. After losing access to external news (the paralysis of the Internet and mobile communications) and being out of contact with places outside Clear Water City for so long, they had finally received news of rescue from the gov·ernment. Wouldn’t that prove that the “doomsday crisis” that everyone had been struggling with day and night had finally ushered in the dawn of victory?

Although for Jiang Juncheng, it wouldn’t be a problem to endure another ten days and a half months or a month. But the days of being on tenterhooks every day were not easy.

Is barely surviving the same as living freely?

So Jiang Juncheng, who thought that dawn was not far away, was naturally excited.

“Sorry to disappoint you. I am now just an ordinary citizen who is tired of running for my life, just like you. I don’t have any official connections with the gov·ernment you mentioned, and I’m not a rescuer,” He Linglong replied, not looking at Jiang Juncheng, but inserting the pistol she had just filled with ammunition into the holster inside her coat, and then taking off her backpack and rummaging through it for the remaining ammunition.

“…….” Jiang Juncheng’s beautiful assumptions and guesses were like many colorful bubbles floating in the air, shattered one by one by He Linglong’s rational, serious, and well-organized answers, and she froze in place.

“…She’s lying! If she’s not lying, she definitely hasn’t told us everything!” Unexpectedly, combining what had just happened, Zhou Yuanyuan, who seemed to have guessed something, grabbed Jiang Juncheng’s wrist and pulled her. Then, she leaned her mouth close to her ear and whispered, “She must be.”

After hearing Zhou Yuanyuan’s words, Jiang Juncheng finally seemed to have an epiphany, and the worry in her eyes disappeared. Zhou Yuanyuan was right, since the other party denied her guess, it proved that there must be other reasons. But she didn’t explain, which meant that her reasons were inconvenient to mention to outsiders.

But Jiang Juncheng was very curious. The less He Linglong said, the more Jiang Juncheng wanted to know. But she understood that if she asked He Linglong directly, He Linglong would be even more tight-lipped, so she could only adopt a roundabout strategy. She stopped talking and just stared silently at He Linglong in front of her.

In the process of rummaging, He Linglong finally slowly realized the silence and embarrassment in the air, so she pretended to inadvertently raise her head. As a result, she found that Jiang Juncheng was still standing in that position, just staring at her without saying a word. Although there were no special emotions revealed in that look, it still made He Linglong feel a little hairy inside.
