Chapter 5 He Said Yes
"Xiayang City."
Wan Ci answered truthfully. The originally tight time seemed even more insufficient at this moment. The virus mutated too fast, and the impact of the flare had not been eliminated. It was absolutely impossible to go there on foot. She did not have a car and could not drive.
.
Both of his parents died, the laboratory exploded, and now he has no friends in Shenzhen, so he is struggling.
The road ahead is difficult, and thinking about Wanci makes me so sad that my wounds begin to hurt.
"Xiayang? Next door to Guangdong City?"
After hearing Wan Ci's words, Bai Yanchen showed an unexpected expression.
Wan Ci turned to look at him without saying a word, waiting for his next words.
"My parents were in the Guangdong Sea. Within an hour after the flare broke out, the people in the Guangdong Sea, including them, were picked up by the military. They said it was some sort of Guangdong Sea Shelter. But I didn't know that at that time.
There are such things as zombies, and I thought it was just to prevent earthquakes and flash floods, but now that it has happened, the top brass of country Z must have received the news. My parents are safe, and I want to go over and join them."
Although Guangdong City has a sea name, it is actually a completely inland city.
As Bai Yanchen spoke, his eyes looked at Wan Ci's legs that had just trembled twice. He turned the steering wheel in his hand and spoke somewhat coolly.
"Let's go to my house first."
Sports cars roared on the streets, there were fewer and fewer people on the road, and the lanes became wider and wider.
This is a wealthy area, and further inside are single-family villas. When returning to Bai Yanchen's house, you can occasionally see people moving around in a few villas, as if they are packing their luggage in a hurry.
Wan Ci didn't ask Bai Yanchen why he took her home at this time. She was thinking about another thing.
Going to Xiayang City is usually not that far, but now, the only way to go is by car. But after all, she can't drive. In the apocalypse, taking risks to seek help from strangers will put her in a passive position.
But, what about Bai Yanchen?
Wan Ci was a little nervous.
After all, this was the first time the two met. In this apocalyptic world, everyone wants to live, so why should they help a stranger with a tow bottle, not to mention how many dangers there may be on this journey.
Returning to Bai Yanchen's home with different thoughts, the sense of depression has been rising since entering the rich area. The security guard at the door has disappeared, and the housekeeper and nanny are also empty in the huge villa.
He didn't bother to park the car in the basement. As soon as he entered the gate, he opened the car door and got out of the car and entered the room.
In the scene just now, with people fleeing everywhere on the street, Bai Yanchen realized that the situation had gone beyond imagination.
Wan Ci held his backpack and limped in despite the severe pain in his legs. He saw Bai Yanchen running down the stairs holding a medical kit.
"Sit down, let me help you heal the injury on your leg first."
Holding the medical kit, Bai Yanchen walked to the sofa and motioned for Wan Ci to sit down.
I don’t know how troublesome it is to drag the wound on the road, and it will be miserable if it worsens.
She didn't show any pretense. She walked over and sat down in a few steps and rolled up her trouser legs. Her ankle was obviously twisted and swollen, and the bend of her knee was also bruised.
"Give it to me. Time is urgent. You go pack some luggage. We can't stay in Shenzhen City anymore."
Wan Ci took the initiative to take the medical kit from Bai Yanchen and tentatively spoke with "we", trying to tie himself to Bai Yanchen and see her reaction.
"That's okay. In fact, I had already packed some of it before I went out. I'm just waiting to receive Chen Mumu to take her away with her. But the current situation is unexpected. I'll see if there is anything I can bring with me."
Bai Yanchen responded, thinking about the zombies on the streets and the fact that Shenzhen City is close to the sea. Once a tsunami occurs, the entire city will be submerged.
He frowned and looked at the injury on Wan Ci's foot, and touched his nose guiltily. He didn't react at all to Wan Ci's temptation, which made Wan Ci feel relieved a lot.
He seemed to have no intention of abandoning himself.
The two of them were dealing with their own affairs. Bai Yanchen went upstairs, while Wan Ci used medicinal wine and gauze to treat the injury on his leg. The laboratory was blown up, and there were not many medicines that could be brought.
Looking at the dazzling array of emergency medicines in the medical kit, Wan Ci opened her backpack, visually checked the capacity of the backpack, and stuffed a lot inside in case of emergencies.
When Bai Yanchen dragged his suitcase down, Wan Ci had already treated the wound, tied his ankle with a clamp, and bandaged the injury on his hand that he didn't know when.
"Are you okay?"
Taking a look at the wound that Wan Ci had tied, Bai Yanchen felt relieved.
Nodding, Wan Ci stared at his two bulging suitcases with a dark expression on his face.
"You...what are these?"
Twitching the corner of his mouth, Wan Ci asked dryly.
"This box is full of food. There must be many unpredictable situations when driving and walking, so food is essential. This box is for a change of clothes and some daily necessities."
Bai Yanchen explained while holding a large suitcase on one side.
"Leave the food behind and just bring two changes of clothes to suit your needs. These things will only be a burden on the road."
I can't help but say that this suitcase is too troublesome. I don't know what I will encounter on the road, and I'm not going on vacation! It's best to travel light.
"..."
Bai Yanchen put his hands on his hips and stared at his box with tangled eyebrows. He was obviously unwilling to abandon his clothes. Unfortunately, before he could say anything, Wan Ci spoke again.
"Also, the red sports car at your door cannot be driven. A supercar is not suitable for long distances and cannot hold so many supplies. Do you have any other cars?"
Suddenly thinking of this question, Wan Ci spoke abruptly.
After all, Bai Yanchen is a second-generation rich man, so he won't just love one car, so he doesn't feel too worried about it.
"Of course, I have a gray armed off-road vehicle, suitable for running."
Bai Yanchen lived up to Wan Ci's expectations and proudly spread his hands.
Listening to Bai Yanchen's reply, Wan Ci nodded, knowing that he could not delay any longer, so he decisively proposed that he wanted to go with him.
"Mr. Bai, I think I need your help for something. I made an appointment with someone, a very important person, to pick me up at the Sunset Mountain Shelter in Xiayang City. But I don't have the conditions to drive. I hope you can give me a ride."
Procedure."
Wan Ci spoke solemnly, looking directly into Bai Yanchen's eyes without saying any words of thanks, because she knew that her thanks to Bai Yanchen were nothing, and she could only take a gamble on his kindness.
Waiting uneasily for his response.
Although Xiayang City and Guangdong City are next to each other, Xiayang City is closer to them in a straight line.
Guangdong City is in the northeast of Xiayang City. If Bai Yanchen's destination is Guangdong City, the route he wants to take does not have to go through Xiayang. He can choose a direct highway.
Bai Yanchen leaned on the railing of the stairs. He was a head taller than Wan Ci. Seeing the panic in her eyes and the fear suppressed by her pretending to be calm, he couldn't tell what he felt in his heart.
They had experienced the thrilling scene together just now, not to mention that she was crippled because of herself.
"Okay, but I have to go to Guangdong to meet my parents first, and then send you there."
With a sigh, Bai Yanchen didn't know why he agreed.
Maybe it was the determination in Wan Ci's eyes that was too dazzling, maybe it was the guilt of hurting her, or maybe he didn't intend to leave her.
Originally, he planned to take Chen Mumu with him, but now that Mumu is dead, the only person who has contact with Mumu is the somewhat stubborn woman in front of him.
She is still alive and may know a lot about Mu Mu. As for the news of Mu Mu's death, it is better to let her, the person involved, tell Xianshen personally.
"Thanks!"
With this thank you, Wan Ci finally showed a smile on his face and held Bai Yanchen's hand gratefully.
Chapter completed!
