Chapter 267 - 267 266 Would She Have Unexpected It
?Chapter 267: Chapter 266: Would She Have Unexpected It? Chapter 267: Chapter 266: Would She Have Unexpected It? Luo Ning chuckled invitingly.
“I’ve got a few companions. If you don’t want to stay here, you could lead us to Central Square.”
“If we encounter the military on the way, you can go and join them.”
She had just found a few cell phones, but discovered there was no signal and the navigation was useless.
In that case, the most time-efficient way to find Central Square was to get a local to show the way.
The man wasn’t too guarded, since Luo Ning had saved him earlier.
After all, if Luo Ning had wanted him dead, she wouldn’t have saved him just now.
The man nodded in agreement, “Alright, I’m honestly a bit scared to hang around here.”
That was normal; after all, the man looked like the type who lacked combat power, a sitting duck—just another zombie encounter would probably mean a dead end for him.
Luo Ning said, “Then come with me and let’s look for a vehicle suitable for a long journey.”
The man said with a smile, “No need to look for one, we can take mine.”
He added, “My SUV has been modified before, it’s got strong performance and resistance.”
Luo Ning’s eyes lit up, “Great, but where’s your car? I wonder if it’s been taken by someone else.”
The man replied, “It’s in the underground parking lot, I just don’t know if there are any zombies there now.”
Luo Ning said nonchalantly, “No problem, just lead the way.”
Having seen her killing zombies, the man nodded, “Okay!”
Then Luo Ning sent a group message to her team and followed the man to the underground parking lot.
[So Luo Ning just went with a stranger like that, isn’t she afraid it’s a trap?]
[I’m so nervous, I don’t know if this guy is good or bad.]
[Is Luo Ning too trusting of people?]
[Luo Ning doesn’t fully trust the guy, didn’t you notice she’s a step behind and clutching her watermelon knife so tightly, she looks like she’s ready to defend herself.]
[Right, with that stance of hers, if the man has any ill intentions, she’ll be able to counterattack immediately.]
[I knew it! How could Luo Ning just blindly follow a stranger, turns out she’s prepared.]
[Of course, our Brother Ning isn’t a naive sweetie; all of the worries you guys are having, do you think she hasn’t thought of them?]
However, the netizens’ concerns didn’t come to pass.
They did encounter a few zombies on their way down, but Luo Ning dealt with them all.
Instead, it was the man who kept fearfully hiding behind Luo Ning.
[Why do I get the feeling this guy is acting all clingy and dependent on our Ningning?]
[My Brother Ning is more and more “Brother” by the second.]
The man led Luo Ning to a seven-seater SUV and unlocked the car with his keys.
Luo Ning got into the passenger seat, “Drive, pick up people at the entrance of the building outside.”
“Okay!” The man nodded and started the car to drive out.
Luo Ning had already sent a message to Bo Xuan and the others to wait.
When they saw such an impressive modified SUV pull up, everyone was taken aback.
Fan Ye’s eyes shone as he looked at the SUV and said with a laugh, “No wonder some people call Luo Ning ‘Brother Ning,’ I’m starting to want to call her ‘Brother’ myself.”
Previously in the parking lot, they had searched for a long time without finding a suitable one.
They were thinking of settling for a decent sedan, but when they finally found a few with keys, other teams had gotten to them first.
The game had just begun, and the main quest clues hadn’t been revealed yet, so the teams were rather restrained, not fighting each other to eliminate rivals.
They had no choice but to settle for the next best thing when they received Luo Ning’s text message.
Initially, they thought Luo Ning had found a decent SUV, but now it seemed not just decent, but fantastic.
Luo Ning rolled down the car window and waved at the group, “Get in.”
“Alright!” The four of them quickly opened the doors and got in.
When sending the message, Luo Ning had already told the group that she had saved a local, and the car belonged to him.
After the four got into the car, Luo Ning turned her head and said, “This is Su Wei. He knows the way to the Central Square, so he’s taking us there.”
They had already exchanged names earlier on the road.
Fan Ye gratefully said, “Su Wei, thanks for taking us.”
They had also looked for mobile phones that had fallen to the ground or belonged to the deceased, only to discover that the network was unavailable and the GPS couldn’t be used, continuously prompting “no network.”
So it was clear that the organizers had set this trap for them.
Now that they had a local taking them to the Central Square, they could save a lot of time and might even be the first to arrive.
Su Wei said with a smile, “Don’t mention it. It was Luo Ning who saved my life, after all.”
On the way, Luo Ning and Bo Xuan asked Su Wei many questions about the city.
[So, what goes around comes around. While other teams are still fretting about how to get to the Central Square, Luo Ning’s group is nearly there.]
[No wonder Luo Ning insisted on having Yue Xiao’s team adapt to a realistic background; she did the same, which is why she was able to find a live navigator.]
[Honestly, from the beginning until now, I just can’t perceive their world as fake—it all seems too real.]
[Same here, so when I saw those people pleading for help, my heart tightened with anxiety too.]
[Luo Ning and her group didn’t disappoint everyone. Wherever possible, they extended a helping hand to those asking for rescue.]
[Kindness exists everywhere, even in the apocalypse.]
Midway through the journey, Luo Ning said to Zhou Wei, “Please pull over.”
Though Zhou Wei didn’t know what Luo Ning wanted to do, he stopped the car anyway.
“Just wait for me a moment,” Luo Ning said, then she opened the door and got out.
She then ran to a newsstand not too far down the street and found a map of the city.
There were about a dozen maps, and she took them all.
By chance, she also spotted a city tourist guidebook in the corner, which she grabbed and stuffed into a shoulder bag she had found earlier.
After getting back into the car, the others asked her why she got out.
Luo Ning took out the maps and handed one to each person.
“The mobile network and GPS are out of service, so if we need to find a place later, we’ll rely on these.”
Bo Xuan took the map with a smile and said, “I was just wondering how I could get my hands on a city map like this. I didn’t expect you to surprise me so soon.”
Fan Ye unfolded the map and examined it. “This map is very detailed. Luo Ning, how did you know to find maps there?”
In the real world, they were accustomed to electronic maps, and being wealthy young masters, they had never set foot in a newsstand, nor even knew of its existence.
They had no idea that newsstands sold city maps, so they were confused about Luo Ning’s purpose in heading to one.
Luo Ning couldn’t help but laugh, “Newsstands generally sell maps; that’s common knowledge!”
“And you need to have eyes that can discover things. Many places might seem like useless decorations, but in fact, they can be put to good use,” she added.
The newsstand must have been something the organizers set up for them to find—otherwise, how could there be detailed maps of the city available?
Fan Ye and the others felt slightly rebuked again.
“It’s fine. We’re a team, and having you with eyes that can discover things is enough.”
They wished they had such vision, yet doubted their own ability to achieve it.
At that moment, they felt extremely grateful once more for inviting Luo Ning to team up.
