Chapter 133: The seductive sister will not be cannon fodder (5)
Little Pudding was shivering in the corner.
"You asked me to tamper with the male protagonist's memory and make him think that tomorrow is your birthday. If I am found out, I will be finished."
"It's okay. If you don't tell me and I don't tell you, no one will care about the date of a cannon fodder's birthday."
Jiang Lai sat in the cab as he wished. In addition to the driver, the heavy truck can seat four people. Except for Jiang Chao and the three people with powers who have always been sitting in the cab, if Jiang Lai takes another seat, then Gu Hanyan could only sit in the car at the back.
Duan Xu, a water superpower, was dissatisfied with Jiang Lai's behavior, but he was usually silent and said little. When Jiang Lai got in the car, he stared at her coldly and then sat down by the window.
Jiang Lai nonchalantly exchanged his points for a pack of spicy strips. After tearing open the package, he started eating by himself.
The oily aroma of spicy strips soon filled the entire car. Yan Zhouxing, a speedster who was driving, couldn't help but swallow his saliva. He still looked ahead, but his eyes unconsciously glanced to the side.
Jiang Chao was also curious.
“Where did this thing come from?”
Jiang Lai handed over the bag of spicy strips.
"I just found it in the house next to the gas station. It's still edible just a few months after the expiration date. Try it."
Yang Jun asked immediately after hearing this.
“Just one pack of spicy strips?”
Jiang Lai knew that he suspected that he was hiding something and wanted to eat alone, so he glared at him.
"Otherwise? Look at where I can hide something."
Yang Jun turned his head angrily and continued to swallow silently while smelling the aroma of spicy strips. This was the first year of the virus outbreak, and food to ensure survival was in short supply, let alone such snacks that could satisfy cravings.
Even a grown man like him wants to taste it when he smells it.
Especially Yan Zhouxing, he was usually greedy, but now he was so attracted by the scent that he couldn't concentrate.
Suddenly, the fragrance became richer, and Yan Zhouxing saw the spicy sticks that had been handed to his mouth with one side of his eye. Jiang Lai leaned forward to urge him.
"Try it, it's delicious."
As a man, Yan Zhouxing just wanted to endure it and said he wouldn't eat it, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the spicy stick was stuffed into his mouth, and he couldn't help but chew it with his teeth.
Spicy and delicious, this was the smell that would wake him up from his dreams countless times.
One gulp brought tears to his eyes.
"Is it delicious?"
The corners of Jiang Lai's mouth were red and he stretched his head to ask him.
Yan Zhouxing nodded repeatedly.
“Delicious.”
"Then take another one."
Jiang Lai generously handed another one over. Yan Zhouxing was greatly moved and after eating, he gave Jiang Lai a small water balloon.
"This is sweet, try it."
Jiang Lai stuffed the small water ball into his mouth, and the cold liquid burst out in his mouth. The sweet and cool liquid was just right to relieve the spicy taste.
In this way, the two of them ate the whole package of spicy sticks one by one. Jiang Chao followed and took a few bites, and he is still silently savoring the taste.
After finishing a pack of spicy strips, Yan Zhouxing's attitude towards Jiang Lai completely changed. He didn't like this delicate young lady before, but now he suddenly found that she wasn't that annoying either. Willing to share it.
Because of this, when Jiang Lai saw the lonely figure on the roadside and asked Yan Zhouxing to stop the car, the man stopped the car readily.
Jiang Lai opened the door and got out of the car. Seeing this, Jiang Chao followed.
The little girl continued walking forward, as if she had no interest in the heavy truck parked next to her, until Jiang Lai walked in front of her.
"Children, alone?"
The girl raised her head and glanced at her. Her expression was cold and her eyes were dull, and her voice had no fluctuations and seemed like a robot.
"What's the matter with you?"
"This road is not safe. Where are you going?"
The girl looked at Jiang Lai quietly and shook her head silently.
Jiang Chao frowned slightly when he saw this. Seeing that it was getting dark and he was still on the highway, he had to hurry up and find a place to stay.
He couldn't let Jiang Lai ignore the lonely little girl in front of him, but he couldn't continue to waste time now.
"Hurry up and we have to hurry."
Seeing the confused and fearless look on the little girl's face, Jiang Lai knelt down and took out a lollipop from his arms and handed it to her.
"Do you want it?"
"Yes."
"Well, can you come with me after you get the candy?"
"Okay."
Just like that, Jiang Lai used a lollipop to trick her into getting into the car. The driver's seat was not very spacious. The little girl sat on Jiang Lai's lap and ate the lollipop in her hand. She was very focused and was not distracted at all. any outside influence.
The girl didn't take up any space, but her presence made the atmosphere in the car a little tense.
Yang Jun first threw the package in his hand very hard, then opened the car window and shot a zombie passing by outside.
The sound of gunfire echoed in the carriage, expressing the man's dissatisfaction.
Jiang Chao knew why he was dissatisfied and said it bluntly.
"Put this child down when you get there."
The girl understood, blinked her eyes and continued eating candy as if she didn't care at all.
Jiang Lai hugged her.
"Where can she leave a little girl without dying? From now on, I will give her half of my food."
"Your food?"
Yang Jun sneered, and Duan Xu also sneered at the side.
"Where did your food come from? Didn't we risk our lives to find it? Jiang Chao, I won't say anything when you pampered her before, but now she wants to bring a bottle of oil, what do you think we should do? It’s all about survival, not running a welfare home! It’s tiring enough to take care of one waste, and now we have to add another waste!”
In the first year of the end of the world, many people’s sympathy has already been exhausted.
The initial guide for all actions is profit and survival.
There are already many old, weak, sick and disabled people in the team, and now we have to add a seven or eight-year-old girl. Who will take care of her? Who is responsible for dragging everyone down while escaping?
Of course Jiang Chao understood. He frowned and looked at Jiang Lai and gave the order without any doubt.
"The next stop is the human activity area. Leave her there then. It will be safer there."
Jiang Lai said nothing and silently checked his points.
The skill exchange consumed ten points, the snacks just consumed two points, and now there are four points left.
It was indeed a bit short. She thought that just a piece of cream cake would cost three points, so she had to seize the opportunity to get more.
When they arrived at the human activity area, Jiang Lai took the lead and got out of the car with the child. Jiang Chao told her to solve the problem as soon as possible and come back to gather.
Jiang Lai nodded and walked into the crowd with the child. When Gu Hanyan got out of the car, she only saw the back of the child, and she frowned in confusion.
Why is there an extra child in the team?
But now was not the time to dwell on this, she had to seize the opportunity to change something. (End of chapter)
