According to Chen Ting, Qionghai City was more than 300 kilometers away from Wantou Town. They would need a few days to reach it with their current speed.
If the Shi Ying Squad was not traveling with the others, the MCV could have reached their destination within a day. But Jiang Liushi was not in that much of a hurry, and spending time with his companions was not boring in the least. Moreover, the MCV’s facilities were now more spacious and luxurious. The had even a small room with home cinema, which clearly excited Jiang Zhuyin the most.
She was sitting on the sofa, holding a bottle of Coca-Cola and potato chips, while her favorite film was playing on the screen. Upon seeing that scene, Peach and Wei Feifei couldn’t help but sigh in excitement. In their eyes, the tour bus’ interior was like a presidential suite. From the virus outbreak until now they had been shocked too many times, but the MCV’s surprises were the greatest.
Generally speaking, in this terrible post-apocalyptic world, it was quite difficult for ordinary survivors to find a place to sleep, let alone enjoy life. Chen Ting’s members were good examples. While Jiang Liushi’s teammates were eating a sumptuous meal, the others were eating solid and tasteless food. Chen Ting’s members needed to stop by the side of the road and use dirty water to wash their faces, but Jiang Liushi’s teammates could take a hot shower wherever they wanted. The contrast was too strong.
After a day of driving, Chen Ting and his members felt tired. They were dirty like beggars, but all of Jiang Liushi’s teammates were the same as they set off, if not cleaner. When they stopped to rest, Chen Ting noticed that the Shi Ying Squad’s members were quite vigorous, which made him feel depressed.
As the leader of the camp, Chen Ting’s living conditions were quite better than normal people. But the flagrant contrast hurt his ego. They were far inferior to Jiang Liushi’s team.
At that moment, Ling went down, followed by Jiang Zhuying, Li Yuxin, Ran Xiyu, Peach and Wei Feifei. Even Ying got off. She also needed to have a rest after a long journey.
“…”
Chen Ting and his subordinates were dumbfounded, opening their eyes widely. The sight of several beautiful girls coming down made them feel like they were attending a high-class banquet just like the ones before doomsday. However, how could something like this be possible in this hateful world?
Chen Ting had said that Qionghai City was a rich place with many beauties. If he could, he would have never uttered those words. The girls before them were unique and at least a league above the women in Qionghai City. Before doomsday, Chen Ting was the manager of a prestigious department store, so he had met many elite young girls. However, he had never met a girl like Ran Xiyu, who was a stunning beauty with the demeanor of a noble princess. Li Yuxin’s disposition was that of a refined lady as she was raised in the household of scholars. Jiang Zhuying was smart… In conclusion, each girl had their merits.
‘No wonder he didn’t even flinch when I mentioned Qionghai City’s attractions. He already had several beauties in his tour bus!’ Chen Ting was extremely embarrassed. They were leading the way, while Jiang Liushi enjoying life to the fullest with great beauties…
“Captain Jiang, let’s rest here for the night. Is it okay?” asked Chen.
Jiang Liushi looked around. A row of restaurants, a car-wash shop and a motel were in front of them. It was clearly an area for passing drivers to rest.
“This motel seems quite clean,” said Jiang Liushi lightly. Not only could zombies not be found in the vicinity, but also the motel’s interior was pretty clean. Apparently, that place was not a casual one.
Chen Ting replied calmly, “This is one of our footholds. We usually use it to rest when we go hunting or to make a deal at Qionghai City. There are only a few small villages here and there, and we’ve killed most of the zombies. This place is relatively safe and clean.” Chen Ting looked at Jiang Liushi, but he couldn’t detect any changes in his expression.
“Okay, we will spend the night here,” said Jiang Liushi.
“Wonderful. I’ll order my members to connect two king-size beds. It will be-”
Jiang Liushi waved his hands, and interrupted Chen Ting, “There’s no need. We will stay on our bus.”
Upon hearing that, Chen Ting’s mouth twitched. Never had he expected that the tour bus was actually an RV!
Chen Ting’s members were momentarily stunned. ‘Hateful, really hateful!’
…
At this moment, Xie Shasha excitedly ran in front of Jiang Liushi.
“Jiang Liushi!” She shouted. She hadn’t seen Jiang Liushi for a whole day and could only look at the tour bus far away. When Xie Shasha saw Jiang Liushi getting down, she felt extremely happy.
“Are you going to have a rest? Do you need any help? I can boil water for you…” Xie Shasha asked enthusiastically.
“Nope, ” Jiang Liushi answered directly.
Xie Shasha felt disappointed.
Jiang Liushi threw a glance at Jiang Zhuying, who was shaking her head disapprovingly while sighing.
“…”
Jiang Liushi didn’t know why, but he stared at Xie Shasha innocently. Xie Shasha was holding her clothes’ corner, looking at her toes, and held a small piece of dried meat in her hands. She was not a paranormal, so she could only get such little portion of dry meat. It was obvious that she was unwilling to part with it, so she just bit a small bite.
As Xie Shasha still stood in front of him, Jiang Liushi didn’t know what to say next. Suddenly, he saw Chen Ting sitting on a chair that one of his members brought out. Then, Jiang Liushi made a decision.
“Chen Ting, you should go and hunt a mutant beast and barbecue it,” said Jiang Liushi.
Chen Ting, who had just sat down, fumed in anger when he heard that. He could hardly suppress his towering anger, but since they were already halfway, he did his utmost best to bear with it.
“Captain Jiang, that’s a good idea. We are tired of eating the same thing every single day,” said Chen Ting. He wanted to save some of his face, even though he felt that had been slapped plenty of times already.
Then, he turned to look at one of his members and shouted, “Go and do it quickly.”
Soon, Chen Ting’s team members left, and an hour later they brought back the carcass of a beast. After that, Chen Ting ordered his members to cook a delicious meal.
“Boss Chen!” His members passed a piece of meat to Chen Ting first due to hierarchy.
Unexpectedly, Chen Ting did not touch it. Instead, he barked, “Give it to Captain Jiang!” Since his life was already in Jiang Liushi’s hand, he decided to turn Jiang Liushi’s trick to his own use.
A member took the piece of meat per Chen Ting’s order and brought it before Jiang Liushi respectfully. Xie Shasha was biting her dry meat beside him very slowly while staring at that piece of mutant meat. When she noticed that Jiang Liushi was looking at her, she looked somewhere else like a startled bird.
“Give it to her,” ordered Jiang Liushi.
Xie Shasha and the member holding the plate were stunned, but the latter had to do as Jiang Liushi ordered.
“Miss Xie, please.” Xie Shasha felt somewhat helpless.
When had she enjoyed such kind of treatment? She knew clearly that this piece of meat was the best one, which was reserved for the leader. Chen Ting could kill her at any time, so how could she accept it? But when she looked at Jiang Liushi in front of her, Xie Shasha felt at ease and took the plate.
“Thank you, Jiang Liushi, ” said Xie Shasha sweetly.
Then, she put the plate on her knees. She took a little piece and put it into her mouth. Suddenly, she became intoxicated with self-satisfaction. Her eyes changed into a pair of moon-shape ones, “Ah, delicious!”
Jiang Liushi couldn’t help but laugh. Xie Shasha was quite a cute girl. Originally, Jiang Liushi felt that she was a kind, but he found that she was also very cute.
However, Chen Ting was fuming in anger after seeing that scene. If Jiang Liushi was the one eating it, he would find it acceptable. Unexpectedly, Jiang Liushi offered that piece of meat to an ordinary girl of their team, which showed that he, Chen Ting, was inferior to Xie Shasha!
“You! Come here.” Chen Ting suddenly called a member next to him. Then, he whispered something.
The member nodded and glanced at the direction of Jiang Liushi’s tour bus. He pretended to go for a piss and walked at the back of the motel. Chen Ting knew that someone was monitoring him, but since it was lunchtime, and everyone was eating he believed that it would be easier for one of his members to sneak out. He estimated that Jiang Liushi couldn’t notice the difference.
Chen Ting’s eyes flashed as he thought, ‘You can be as arrogant as you want now, but once we reach our destination it’s game over for you!’
Chen Ting was a local tyrant, so how could he swallow the humiliation of Jiang Liushi turning him into a joke?
After some time, the member that had gone to piss returned, whistling. He gestured at Chen Ting that everything was set. /
Upon seeing that, Chen Ting felt excited. ‘Jiang Liushi. Ah, Jiang Liushi…I’ve prepared a pretty good gift for you. You will be surprised,’ thought Chen Ting while looking at Jiang Liushi’s back.
