It Was A Waste Of Time

Lilian Mo walked the streets, eliminating any mutants that came after her. She was quick to loot any store on the way and was able to move swiftly because she was alone.

Arriving at a gas station while carrying empty buckets to fill fuel, Lilian Mo was surprised to see that there were survivors here.

Her lips twitched in amusement when she saw a very familiar face.

Although there were no mutants around the vicinity since she had killed most of them in the way, she was still somewhat surprised to find many fearful yet surviving people.

She glanced across the room and counted about twenty-five people in total with a mix of men and women, young and old, all of them were huddled together, trembling like rabbits. It was no longer the cold season. The weather had returned to normal but the after breeze was still enough to make people feel cold with their clothes that were unsuitable for the weather.

After seeing that the youth that arrived was human and not a scary monster, the group was stunned but began to rejoice soon after.

One of the middle aged women stepped forward and looked at Lilian Mo, asking, "Hey, are you here to save us? Are you a soldier? What are these buckets for... oohh..."

The middle aged woman quickly stopped upon noticing that the newcomer was just a young girl but seeing the young woman's clean attire and healthy appearance that did not fit with the dirty and smelly mass, she was stunned.

Moreover, the young girl's beauty was almost blinding. How was this young girl able to maintain her flawless and healthy skin?

The middle aged woman herself was already struggling from the newly formed wrinkles on her face due to the arrival of those monsters. And yet this young girl in front of her was able to maintain her beauty.

Yang Cui's eyes flashed with jealousy and envy. The urge to disfigure the beauty aroused inside her but she maintained a smile.

"Young lady, are you accompanied by others? Are there soldiers nearby?" Yang Cui asked. She did not believe that the young girl in front of her was able to defeat and fight those ugly monsters. There must be a group of soldiers or group of powerful people that came with the young girl. Yes, that was it. There's no other explanation.

The moment Yang Cui spoke up, the rest chimed in as well as the survivors became noisy and full of disarray, a glimmer of hope appearing before them.

"My god, there are soldiers, right? That's great, we're saved! Finally!"

"The gods have eyes, we are going to live on and survive."

"Young girl, hurry and tell us where the soldiers are! What are you waiting for? Are you deaf?"

Amongst the cacophony of noises, only one person was quiet.

Lilian Mo took one look at the familiar figure of the lady that she met on the first day of the apocalypse and flashed an amused smile.

Feng Ran shivered. She never expected to see this girl again! She was a little surprised that the girl came alone and wondered where the two other youngsters were.

"Hey, it's the auntie from before." Lilian Mo said as she looked at Feng Ran.

Feng Ran turned red after being called an old woman. She was only twenty-five! How dare this girl call her auntie?!

Lilian Mo ignored the crowd and went to extract fuel from the station, filling the buckets in a patient manner.

Being ignored, the crowd looked at Lilian Mo unhappily.

"Hey, how can you be so arrogant? We're asking you a question here!" A young teenager with a hotheaded personality suddenly asked.

Yang Cui glanced in disdain at the teenager and pretended to be a kindhearted person. "Don't say that. This young lady heard you but she must be running an errand for those good soldiers which is why she is filling those buckets with fuel. She's part of our group of saviors."

The hotheaded teenager made a face and still acted as if he was right. "Hah! What saviors? They are soldiers of the country that have been living off from our money, so it's their duty to save us. You there, girl. Quickly, tell us where those soldiers are so we could be rescued from this hellhole. Why are you still standing there and saying nothing? "

A middle-aged woman with a mole on her cheek voiced more thoughts along that same line and was just as rude as the teenager. "Those soldiers are so slow! Why'd they need a girl to run an errand for them? They should quickly hurry to help us out."

Lilian Mo's eyes never stayed away from the buckets. She was not interested in arguing with these people.

There was no point.

It was a waste of time.
