The teenager lost all his bravery and looked at Lilian Mo with obvious fear in his eyes, instantly regretting his decision to let his anger get the better of him. The people behind him were also frightened by what had transpired and no longer dared to speak.
"Tch. Someone wants to be metal rod no. 2." At her crisp and clear voice that sounded like an enchanting spell, the teenager paled and scrambled to get up.
"I'm sorry! I'm s... sorry! I was wrong!" With tears in his face, the teenager ran away, too fearful to stay any longer.
Feng Ran who had originally want to curry favor with Lilian Mo shut up. She did not dare speak when it was clear that the girl was a walking time bomb who was not afraid to explode. Feng Ran endured. She most certainly did not want to stay where the mutants were and did not trust the military that the rest of the survivors were so determined to wait for.
It was already a miracle that she managed to get this far and this was after tagging along with another group who had a car. Unfortunately for Feng Ran, those people had gotten sick of her and did not like a burden so they abandoned her.
Feng Ran had no choice but to join the group of survivors when she saw them. Even if they were weak, she at least felt calm and safe with so many meat shields in front of her.
Since it was impossible for her to leave alone, and since Lilian Mo appeared out of the blue and even agreeing to bring her away, Feng Ran would not let this chance go.
"Auntie, don't dally and just come with me."
Feng Ran nearly spat blood. This girl kept calling her Auntie! She was simply too rude! But Feng Ran did not risk being angry. Until Feng Ran was certain that she was brought to a safe place, she would continue to remain patient with this girl.
Hah! She could just dump her after she finds herself a powerful man.
The others no longer dared to argue and only able to clench their teeth as the two women walked away. They understood that they were no match for Lilian Mo so they could only grit and endure the hatred inside their hearts.
Lilian Mo's pupils constricted as her lips loosened slightly, sensing that Feng Ran was obediently following her like a kitten trailing behind its owner.
She tried to calm the erratic beating of her heart. Lilian Mo tried to count to ten as she walked forward silently.
They passed through roads and buildings without encountering mutants. Occasionally, Lilian Mo would pause and look around as if searching for something. Feng Ran did not ask and followed her from behind.
Feng Ran was indeed lucky. Not only did she managed to get to tag along with this girl but they also haven't encountered any of those monsters yet. Moreover, Feng Ran observed Lilian Mo who was moving with a purpose.
The girl looked as if she was certain with her destination and would stop from time to time to listen. And only when she heard something would the girl start to walk. Feng Ran assumed that Lilian Mo was leading them to safety and avoiding the mutants.
Otherwise, how would it be explained that they were able to traverse the city safely? They didn't even have to fight and Feng Ran herself was repulsed at the idea of fighting those ugly mutants. They were dangerous and really, really ugly.
How was she, a delicate woman, going to fight those things?
Looking at Lilian Mo's confident gait as she leads the way, Feng Ran was ecstatic inside her heart. Who knew that it would be this easy to hug a golden thigh?
Pretty soon, they would meet other people and she might even be lucky enough to snag herself some powerful man with an ability.
Unlike Feng Ran's delusional thoughts of leading them to a safe place, Lilian Mo was actually listening to her surroundings and looking for mutants.
