Let Us Return First

Li Ran managed to enter the mysterious space just in a nick of time.

When she arrived inside, she felt exasperated!

It was no surprise. She was betrayed!

'How could Cui Chong do that?!'

It was regrettable. Just because you were kind to a person, it does not mean they would return the favor.

"Tsk!" Li Ran scoffed disdainfully.

She then laid on the bed and closed her eyes, feeling exhausted.

Li Ran does not want to think about anything else.

She was not in the mood to do any missions either.

...

After Lin Nan and Fang Lin had killed all the twenty zombies in front of them, their bodies were covered in blood.

Lin Nan's eyes were cold and sharp.

Fang Lin glanced at him. He then chuckled and teased, "Who knew your skills would be used to fight zombies!"

Lin Nan was not amused.

"There's no sight of her corpse," he said in a cold tone.

"Isn't that a good thing? Those zombies couldn't have eaten her entire body in such a short time, can they?"

What Fang Lin said was true.

Otherwise, they would have had to prepare a coffin for Li Ran.

"I didn't see her run out."

Fang Lin shrugged helplessly.

"Maybe you were too obsessed with killing zombies and missed her."

"..."

Lin Nan glared at him. He cleaned his knife and put it away. Then, he walked towards the front door.

"What? Are you going to kill Cui Chong?"

"..."

"He ran away a long time ago. Do you think he would dare face us after what he did? He saw us coming in, but he still pushed Li Ran."

Fang Lin also put away the knife that he was holding in his hand.

His heart was aching because the knife was worn out and had become unusable.

Without it, he felt a little uncomfortable.

Lin Nan walked around the place a few more times. 

When Cui Chong saw the zombies, he turned merciless.

Fang Lin then said helplessly, "I'm almost out of bullets. I can't share them with you anymore."

"Give them to me."

"No. Let's just go. There are people waiting for us in the car," Fang Lin said while clenching the last few bullets. 

He should have said that there were no more bullets!

*Gasp*

They suddenly remembered that there were no spare bullets in the car either.

The two of them were in a sorry state. 

When they returned to the car, the huge guy instantly got out.

He asked in a concerned voice, "Did you guys get injured?"

If they were infected, it would be terrible!

"No."

Lin Nan said and got into the car.

There was a heavy atmosphere in the car. No one spoke. 

Fang Lin glanced at Lin Nan. Then, he looked at Li Ran's parents who were crying in the back seat.

"Let's talk about facts. Li Ran's body was nowhere to be found. I think she is still alive. Why are all of you so sad?"

"..."

The weepings gradually lessen.

With a sobbing voice, Li Ran's mother asked, "What happened exactly? My daughter's car is here but she's nowhere to be found. Where could she have gone?"

"I don't know, but I'm sure she was not killed by the zombies."

To be honest, Lin Nan was not even sure if he had accidentally killed Li Ran when he was slashing through the zombies.

However, he did check the corpses and none of them looked similar to Li Ran.

He did not recognize any of them. 

Lin Nan scratched his head in frustration.

Li Hui looked out of the window and saw a familiar car.

She remembered that car. It was the car that drove past her when she was still with the fat man. 

Li Hui had managed to memorize the last two digits of the license plate number and that car had the same ending number. The car's design was also similar. 

"Don't worry. God will protect her."

Li Ran's father tried to comfort Li Ran's mother. She was their only daughter and they had not seen her in such a long time.

"Trust me. Li Ran is definitely not dead."

"But where can she go?"

"We haven't found Cui Chong either," Fang Lin said indifferently.

Lin Nan then started the car and said, "Let's go back first. We've made a lot of noise and zombies are on their way here."

More and more zombies began to show up.
