“Vroom…”
Amid the roar of the engine, Li Ming was controlling the speed of the heavy truck on the road, his eyes constantly observing the road conditions ahead.
After all, he didn’t have much experience driving large vehicles, so he proceeded very carefully on the journey, but luckily no one was supervising him, so he could drive as he pleased, making it relatively relaxing.
In the passenger seat, Zhang Yuan was strapping into her seatbelt that outlined a delightful view as it passed over her peaks. Her gaze flicked back and forth, looking ahead and around anxiously and fearfully.
She stretched her long legs out on the passenger side, imagining that soon she would leave the place she had lived for two years and move to a new place. This thought brought her indescribable feelings of freeing herself from danger.
Upon this thought, Zhang Yuan couldn’t help but glance at the man next to her, who was driving diligently. This sight made her feel more secure, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. She wanted to lean over to give him a kiss, but the thought of Chen Li’s mother and daughter sitting in the back held her back.
“Li Ming said that Linjiang Villa area has plenty of water, it would definitely be convenient for taking showers.”
Zhang Yuan thought to herself; she glanced at Li Ming, who was driving beside her, and her lips curled into another smile.
She decided that she would wash herself thoroughly tonight.
At the thought of this scene, Zhang Yuan couldn’t help but stretch out her long legs slightly, and a flush spread over her milky white earlobes.
As a woman, she knew too well how lethal her straight and rounded legs could be and Li Ming was the first man to take notice of this charm. She felt a mixture of joy and embarrassment.

Zhang Yuan wriggled her feet that were in her little white shoes, quickly dispelled the thought of reminiscing those images. She was thinking about what kind of body wash she should use for her bath tonight.
Although the journey to Linjiang Villa in the large truck wouldn’t be too slow, but it definitely wouldn’t be quick either.
As Zhang Yuan was lost in her thoughts, Chen Li, sitting behind Li Ming, felt a bit embarrassed. She had failed to realize when they had been packing up the truck that she had only considered her own family’s needs and had neglected to consider Zhang Yuan’s thoughts for Li Ming which were appreciative.
However, she couldn’t ignore her mother and daughter’s thoughts, so she reluctantly followed through. In her heart, she was already thinking about how to compensate Li Ming after they arrived at the villa area.
Her gaze shifted to Zhang Yuan, whose earlobes were blushing …
She realised that while she had attracted Li Ming with her figure, Zhang Yuan seemed to have something extra that he liked more.
‘Could it be Zhang Yuan’s husband is the reason?’
Chen Li speculated, then pursed her lips, and suddenly understood how she should repay Li Ming.
‘I just hope my throat won’t be sore tomorrow.’
Chen Li thought while she was holding her daughter, whose gaze kept alternating between the view outside the window and her own throat.
The two women in the truck had their different thoughts, but the atmosphere was very quiet. Chen Li’s daughter, Yinyin, was well-behaved, not causing any difficulty or making any noise, just quietly sitting in her mother’s arms watching the passing scenery.
Chen Li’s mother sat quietly behind Zhang Yuan, eyes closed and silent.
Li Ming had no interest in what was happening in the back, he was just focused on driving the truck, keeping them moving steadily towards Linjiang Villa area.
The villa area was far away, but at least the truck wasn’t slow. Despite his cautious driving, they were still covering ground at a reasonable pace.
After over forty minutes of driving, Linjiang Villa area came into view.
“I’ll go open the barrier gate, you all stay in the car.”
After stopping the truck at the entrance of the villa area, Li Ming turned and glanced at the two women in the back, their faces full of anxious uncertainty yet noticeably flushing. He glanced at Chen Li’s silent mother and gave this instruction.
He then got out of the truck to open the barrier in front of them, drove the truck into the area, and then went back to close the gate.
He thought the gate might serve some purpose in deterring zombies, so he didn’t mind the trouble.
“Honey, it’s so quiet in here, have you cleared all the zombies?”
Zhang Yuan sat in the passenger seat, peering out the window as frequently as Chen Li and her family of three, exploring the high-grade landscaping and villa designs that evoked a smile on her face. She eagerly questioned Li Ming as soon as he got back in the car.
The eyes of Chen Li’s family followed suit and rested on Li Ming.
‘Yes, there are sixteen villas in total. One of them has bulletproof glass installed and covers the largest area with the most complete facilities, and that’s where we’re staying,”
Li Ming responded with a smile, handing his small shoulder bag to Zhang Yuan. “The card and key marked ‘Left 6’ are for that villa. You’ll open the door when we get there.”
“Sure thing.”
Zhang Yuan casually responded, then she unzipped the shoulder bag, instantly encountering a multitude of villa keys. Unable to contain her cheerful grin, she rummaged through the bag, finding that every eight keys were bundled together, making up sixteen keys all marked with different labels.
“Honey, does ‘left’ and ‘right’ refer to the sides of the road, and are these two rows the only villas?”
Zhang Yuan untied the knot with the ‘left’ label and picked the ‘Left 6′ key ring at the top, her glimmering eyes questioning Li Ming.
“Yes, I’ve checked out both rows of villas, and we’re going to live in this one.”
Li Ming nodded with a smile. Zhang Yuan excitedly bobbed her legs as she curiously glanced around, then zipped up her bag, slung it over her shoulder, and eagerly awaited the car’s stop to visit her new home.
The gazes of Chen Li and her mother and daughter, who were sitting in the backseat, were constantly surveying the vast villa area on both sides.
A short while later, Li Ming parked the truck in front of villa No.’Left 6’. Zhang Yuan unbuckled her seatbelt and excitedly ran towards the villa to open the door.
Li Ming then laughed as he opened the truck’s rear door and began unloading the items. Chen Li, who had also got out of the car, rushed over to help. Her mother took care of her daughter to the side.
“Agh, there’s a zombie corpse!”
Zhang Yuan’s exclamation could be heard at the entrance of the villa.
Li Ming shook his head. He had only focused on killing the zombies in the villa and hadn’t taken the time to clean up the bodies, which he had almost forgotten about. He immediately asked Chen Li to continue unloading while he went to clean up the corpses.
When Li Ming left, Chen Li’s mother hesitated for a moment before also going to assist. Chen Li’s daughter remained beside the adults, watching them busy at work.
After Li Ming dragged the zombie bodies away from the villa, Zhang Yuan felt relieved. She grabbed a mop and a bucket of water, quickly scrubbed up the mess, then opened the doors and windows to air out the place. Without delaying to appreciate the grandeur of the villa, she rushed over to assist Li Ming and Chen Li’s family in moving the things.
Li Ming checked the time; it was already half-past six. He slightly increased his pace.
When they were almost done, he asked Zhang Yuan and Chen Li to tidy up the rooms so they could rest later. He dealt with the remaining items, started the generator in advance, attached the water pump, and restored the underground water supply in the villa.
“Vroom…”
Soon after, the sound of the water pump rang through the room. Zhang Yuan promptly turned on the tap and streams of water indeed gushed out. She jumped around gleefully.
Chen Li’s family also seemed inexplicably joyful. Gazing at the flowing water, they felt a sense of reassurance take root in their hearts. They promptly got to work, and seeing this, Zhang Yuan gave Li Ming a quick kiss and cheerfully ran up to the third floor to clean up the rooms.
A smile crept onto Li Ming’s face as he looked at the villa in front of him. He turned around and continued tidying up, well aware that their struggle for survival would become much easier.

Rooftop gathering at the cafeteria.
Beds with mats and bamboo mats were set up on the cafeteria floor. More than a meter apart, each bed was occupied with people sitting, standing, or lying down.
Crowded, disordered, and permeated with various odors, the air was thick in the room.
