Chapter 320 - 320 The Desert Town

320 The Desert Town

“You guys…

“Who are you guys talking about? Why are you being so mysterious…?”

Lin Shuang was at a loss.

The two of them were talking in undertones, and the person they were talking about seemed to be very powerful.

“Do you still remember the last time Uncle Zhang went to the southwest region to carry out a mission, and he was hunted down by a certain organization?

“Wang Ran is the one who saved him.

“Wang Ran is a good comrade.

“He’s strong and has a good character.

“You two seem to be around the same age. You can interact more in the future and learn from him,” Lin Liye said with a smile.

“Around my age?

“How powerful can he be…?”

Lin Shuang shook her head dubiously.

At this age, no matter how powerful he was, how could he be more powerful than her father, the God of War?

Zhao Qi’s eyes suddenly turned cold.

A man who was about the same age as Lin Shuang?

Zhao Qi felt that this Wang Ran might be a threat to him.

He had to think of a way to cause some trouble…

“Let’s go. Don’t stay here any longer. Those sand rats are afraid of light, but mutant lizards aren’t.

“Let’s find a place to rest first,” Lin Liye said.

The four of them found an off-road vehicle parked nearby and drove toward a small desert town nearby.

Along the way, yellow sand filled the air.

Dried zombie corpses could be seen occasionally in the desert.

The sun was very strong here, and most of the zombies couldn’t stand the sun and became shriveled-up mummies.

Due to the environment, many humans were lucky enough to survive in the desert.

They were all gathered in the desert town.

It was impossible for them to return to the cities.

The living environment in the city was good, but it was the same for zombies.

With buildings to shelter them from the wind and rain, the city became the best gathering place for zombies.

After a ten-minute drive, Lin Liye and his group arrived at the small town.

At the entrance of the town, a few children in ragged clothes were playing with stones. When they saw the car, they immediately surrounded it.

“Sweets!”

The children surrounded the car and began to ask for things.

“Don’t give it to them!”

Lin Shuang was about to reach into her bag when Zhao Qi stopped her.

“If you give them an inch, they’ll take a mile. When that happens, the entire town will come after you.

“Don’t get yourself into trouble.”

Zhao Qi tried to persuade her.

“It’s just a few packets of biscuits. It can’t be that serious, right…?”

Lin Shuang frowned.

These children all looked quite thin, probably because they had been hungry for a long time.

“I’ve been to many poor and remote places in the past. Believe me, people are all like this.”

Zhao Qi insisted.

“But… If I don’t give it to them, they won’t leave.”

Lin Shuang pointed at the children who had surrounded the car.

“This bunch of little b*stards, they won’t know how powerful I am if I don’t teach them a lesson.”

Zhao Qi rolled up his sleeves and prepared to find a child to kill as an example to others.

For him, this was a good opportunity to show off in front of Lin Liye and Lin Shuang.

However, both Lin Liye and Lin Shuang frowned at the same time.

They didn’t really agree with Zhao Qi’s approach.

Just as Zhao Qi was about to get out of the car and make his move, the sound of an engine came from outside the town.

Three Jeeps drove through the sandstorm and stopped behind Lin Liye and the others’ cars.

The children saw that the car in front was not willing to give them anything, so they surrounded the new cars behind.

“Bang!”

A gunshot!

The child instantly scattered and fled without a trace.

A bald man got out of the Jeep.

“Annoying urchins…”

The bald man kicked the body of a child to the side.

Lin Shuang was furious.

‘He was just a child!

‘Just because they surrounded the car, they were killed?

‘This was too much!’

Lin Shuang was about to rush down to argue with him, but Lin Liye grabbed her hand.

“Don’t be rash…

“I can’t stand to see this happen, but…

“Don’t forget the heavy responsibility we bear!

“Besides, Zhang is still injured. Let’s not cause any more trouble.”

Although Lin Liye was furious, he quickly calmed down.

Lin Liye drove into the depths of the town and arrived in front of a house.

“Hello, can we take a rest at your house?

“I can pay you in gold.” Lin Liye asked a local old man who was leaning on the window and looking around.

“Gold? No, I want food!” the old man squinted his eyes and said.

“Alright,” he said.

Lin liye took out a pack of biscuits and threw it over.

The old man took the biscuit, tore open the package, and smelled it. He immediately showed a delighted expression.

Very quickly, the old man came over and opened the door.

From the looks of it, the biscuits would be a good stepping stone.

Lin Liye and Zhao Qi helped Zhang Guozhu into the house.

The house was rather poorly-illuminated, and there was not much valuable furniture. It was obvious that the condition was not very good.

However, it was not easy to survive these days.

Zhang Guozhu was helped over to lie down on a bed.

“Captain Lin, I think I can recover my strength in another hour or two,” Zhang Guozhu said with a smile.

Awakened Ones were tenacious and regenerated rather quickly.

“In an hour or two, Comrade Wang Ran should arrive.

“Let’s just stay here for a while.”

Lin Liye sat on the ground and heaved a sigh of relief.

Only now did he completely relax.

At that moment, the old man came out from the inner room holding a girl’s hand.

From her age and appearance, she seemed to be his daughter.

The girl munched on a biscuit while sizing up the outsiders.

“My daughter, please enjoy,” the old man said with his head lowered.

Lin Liye and the others were all stunned.

Enjoy?

This old man… He was overthinking it!

“I’m sorry, we just want to take a rest.

“We don’t want…”

Lin Liye immediately waved his hand and turned him down.

He would not do such a thing.

Even if his daughter wasn’t here, he wouldn’t do it.

“Ah…

“I thought you were the same as the other outsiders…”

The old man sighed.

It seemed that his daughter had suffered a lot.

In the post-apocalyptic world, ordinary families like this did not have many choices.

Lin Shuang pitied the girl. She took out a bar of chocolate from her bag and handed it to the girl.

The girl’s eyes lit up when she saw the chocolate. She even stole a glance at Lin Shuang’s backpack.

There should be a lot of food inside.

“Take it, it’s for you,” Lin Shuang said with a smile.

The girl immediately took the chocolate and ran back into the room.

It looked like she was going to enjoy it leisurely.

“You guys rest. I’ll go to the back and remain there.”

The old man also left.

“Captain Lin, what are your plans after this?

“There are way too many of them in there. We have to think of a way,” Zhang Guozhu said.
