Chapter 104 Enraged Gu Jincheng

The man behind did not reply. Su Shanshan started the car. The car had just started when it vibrated. Gu Jincheng, who was sitting in the back seat, bumped into the seat in front. His face was dark as he roared, “Su Shanshan!”

Su Shanshan did not have to look to guess his expression. She smiled, but her voice was innocent. “I just reminded you to sit tight. Since you didn’t say anything, I thought you knew there was a big pothole ahead.”

Gu Jincheng gritted his teeth as he sucked it up. “You’re very good!”

“Hehe, I think so too.” Su Shanshan was amused by his insincere words.

The two of them could be considered to be coexisting peacefully. In any case, they did not fight along the way. Only angry roars and insincere apologies could be heard from time to time in the car.

Gu Jincheng, who was sitting in the back seat, had an angry expression, but his eyes betrayed his indulgent love for her. He looked at the woman who was laughing secretly in front of him and shook his head helplessly.

They changed directions several times before driving out of the bottom of the cliff. However, they got lost because they took a detour.

They could see a small village up ahead. From afar, they could see white cooking smoke rising from the village. There was something strange about this. There was no base or people around. A small village like this had suddenly appeared out of the blue.

It was getting late. Su Shanshan parked the car not far from the village entrance. They had to find someone to ask for directions before continuing their way.

As soon as the car stopped, a middle-aged man walked out of the village with a few young men. They were all holding metal rods as weapons.

“What are you doing here?” the middle-aged man asked first.

A few young people encircled the car with weapons in their hands. They had vigilant expressions on their faces. Su Shanshan was not surprised by their attitude. After all, a year in the apocalypse was enough to wear down all friendliness and kindness.

“Uncle, we’re just passing by. We’d like to ask for directions.” Su Shanshan rolled down the car window and smiled.

The strange thing was that the middle-aged man, who had a fierce look on his face, suddenly changed his expression and said very kindly, “I see. It’s getting late and there’s a monster up ahead. It’s better if you don’t go there tonight. Why don’t you stay the night in the village?”

Su Shanshan raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Gu Jincheng, who was in the backseat. Gu Jincheng frowned and nodded inadvertently.

Su Shanshan turned around and said, “Alright, thank you, Uncle.”

The middle-aged man waved at the young people around him to disperse.

Su Shanshan continued to drive the car into the village. The entire village was fortified with mud walls. A few dark figures could be seen patrolling with guns in their hands. They looked quite regular.

When they entered the village, they saw a group of women sitting in front of their houses, chatting. It was very peaceful. It was only then that Su Shanshan remembered why she felt that something was not right about this village. It was because there were no zombies, mutant plants, or mutant animals near this village. It was very safe. The people in the village were talking and laughing, as if there was no end of the world.

The expressions of the people in the village changed when they saw an unfamiliar car entering. They all surrounded it and looked at the people in the car warily.

Su Shanshan was forced to stop. The middle-aged man walked over from behind. He stood outside the car and gestured at the people blocking the car. Then the people blocking the car immediately dispersed.

All these strange things made Su Shanshan even more curious. There must be some shocking secret in this village. Gu Jincheng, who had been silent all along, suddenly said, “Be careful later.”

“Can you tell if anything is amiss?” Su Shanshan asked.

Gu Jincheng had suddenly wanted to enter this village. Su Shanshan did not think that it was because he was curious. After all, it was unlikely for Gu Jincheng to be curious.
