Apocalypse: Living with a Cute Baby

Chapter 69: Black Peaches

“If you did not wash your face as long as I did, you would not be able to stand it either.”

Zhao Ying was exasperated. She continued scolding Gu Jin.

“Madam…”

Li Ran quickly interrupted, “I recognize you, Gu Jin.”

She managed to stop their argument.

Their eyes lit up.

However, she did not agree to anything yet.

“Madam, I have a special ability. It’s not much, but it’s better than nothing.”

Gu Jin’s expression instantly changed after he heard that. He looked at Zhao Ying and said nervously, “Aren’t you afraid that people might take advantage of you?”

“You saw it yourself. The other person did not even stop his car and just rammed through the roadblocks. We need to do and offer whatever we can.”

Zhao Ying was getting more and more excited. She had finally met another woman. It would definitely be easier to bond with her.

She refused to give up!

As expected, when Li Ran heard about her special ability, she appeared to have some interest.

Despite that, Li Ran did not press further and changed the topic.

“What other supplies do you have? Put them in the car. I’ll take the both of you out of here.”

Zhao Ying was elated when she heard that. She smiled and said, “We don’t have anything else. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be so eager to leave. Let’s just get in the car and leave.”

“Before that, I’d like to see the house that you guys were living in.”

Li Ran opened the car door and was about to get out.

Zhao Ying began to panic. She looked at Gu Jin worriedly.

‘Was she serious?’

However, it did not bother Gu Jin at all.

“Okay, just don’t get scared.”

Li Ran raised her eyebrows.

“Is it dangerous?”

Gu Jin waved his hand.

“It’s not dangerous. Don’t worry. Nothing will happen.”

Zhao Ying nodded, “Yes.”

Li Ran touched her bag that was tightly wrapped around her waist. She had put the gun in there. If anything happened, she had a form of protection. The thought calmed her down.

She put the car keys into her pocket and closed the door. Then, she made a motion, indicating for the two of them to lead the way.

Everyone was deep in their own thoughts. Li Ran was puzzled while the two of them were worried. They were also afraid that Li Ran might change her mind and refused to help them.

There were a number of bungalows in this area.

Gu Jin pushed the door open and they arrived at a courtyard.

There was a peach tree that already bore fruits. The peaches were so heavy that they caused the branches to droop.

However, the peaches were abnormal. Instead of the usual white-ish pink color, they were black.

Li Ran looked at peaches curiously, which prompted Zhao Ying to explain, “When we first arrived here, the peaches were normal and tasted delicious. However, in the past month, they had mutated. We had no idea what happened.”

Gu Jin added, “I think it might have something to do with the zombie that got in the other day. It must have contaminated the peach tree!”

“Oh, right. This is a special setting used for filming. No one lives here. I don’t know where the zombie came from. It was very strange. Anyway, we had already killed it.”

Upon remembering the scene, Zhao Ying could not help but feel a chill down her spine. It was unbearable. The more she thought about it, the more disgusted she became.

Li Ran was confused.

“Were you filming here?”

“Yes.”

“What happened to your crew? It can’t be just the two of you, right?”

While looking at the surroundings, Li Ran also kept her eyes on the two of them. Her right hand was always placed on her waist bag, just in case.

At the mention of this, Gu Jin sighed.

“We were divided into four groups. There was not enough food, so each group had to go out and scavenge for supplies periodically. Once the group returned, the haul would be shared with everyone.”

“But the group who set out never came back.”

“…”
