Ch. 32

"I just came from the Bai Ze Expressway. Isn't that your convoy parked over there?" Lou Ai asked, "I saw people I know on the truck. They all joined the army at the Qiang'an base after you left."

"Ah, you mean the army." Meng Langlang explained, "Indeed, it's not us. One of our trucks broke down on the road, so only the three trucks at the back are ours. The ones in the front are the ones your base uses to bring new recruits out for training. We're just traveling along the way."

"On the way? Where are you going?" Lou Ai asked casually. She felt relaxed after getting the crystal core.
　　

"To Province W." Meng Langlang said.
　　

"W Province?" Lou Ai frowned. "Where is W Province?"
　　

"In Datian County, there are many medical equipment companies and factories there. They are going there for medical supplies."
　　

Lou Ai nodded, medical equipment did need to be collected.
　　

But……
　　

"What's wrong with you? Why do you look so bad?" Meng Langlang said with concern, "Our team should have started cooking breakfast. Let's go and have some hot porridge together."
　　

Lou Ai said, "Okay."
　　

Meng Langlang took Lou Ai's arm and said with a smile, "The team leader is a nice guy, very straightforward and responsible. If you want to talk to your friend, just go to him directly. He will definitely agree. If you are embarrassed to ask, I will go and say hello for you."
　　

"Let's go, Linlin, Lin Ze, let's go eat." Meng Langlang pulled Lou Ai towards the highway, "Hurry up, you'll have the energy to quarrel only after you're full."
　　

"Got it." Meng Linlin's drawn-out voice came from behind.
　　

"Sit down. This is the Pikachu bowl I collected. It's all clean. You can use it to drink your porridge. Isn't this Pikachu cute? Its handle is a little tail curled up into a ball." Meng Langlang's eyes showed her love for these cute things. "The strawberry headband on your head is also very cute."

"Well, thank you." Lou Ai took the porridge handed over by Meng Langlang and couldn't help but touch the hairband.
　　

"How do you know my brother?" Meng Langlang asked with a smile.
　　

"I heard about Meng Yuanxi when I was at the base. An expert calculated that Meng Yuanxi would be in danger. I also heard that he had a superpower crystal core that could drive away zombies. I left the base specifically to find him. We met by chance on the way. At Tushan Prison, he locked himself up in a small warehouse. I was speechless." Lou Ai shook her head, "There is a fear that I am dominated by Meng Yuanxi."
　　

Meng Langlang couldn't help laughing: "That's right, my brother is that kind of person. Linlin didn't know about his plan at first. She overheard it outside my brother's tent and made a big fuss. He is only good at doing experiments. He is careless at other times."
　　

"Is that so?" Lou Ai instantly realized who started the change.
　　

Meng Yuanxi, did he see a glimpse of the future after his experience changed, or something else? 
　

"Yeah, you came here just for a crystal core. There's nothing special about that crystal core, right?"
　　

"Well, it's just for the crystal core." Lou Ai blurted out. She lowered her eyes to glance at Meng Langlang's arm which was close to hers, and looked at Meng Langlang quietly.
　　

Meng Langlang withdrew her arm awkwardly: "It's not that I doubt you, but you came here rashly just to trade a crystal core. It doesn't seem right. There are so many of us here. If something goes wrong, it will be unacceptable."

"I understand. I'm trading this crystal core because I have a research project that requires this crystal core." Lou Ai explained.
　　

"Yeah." Meng Langlang felt warmth spreading in her ears. She finished her porridge and stood up hurriedly. "I'll help you bring your friend over."
　　

It was so fast that Lou Ai couldn't even say the names of Xia Xing and the guy with the crewcut head.
　　

After a while, Lou Ai finished the porridge by poking at the rice grains, and then Meng Langlang came over with Xia Xing and the crewcut-haired guy.
　　

"Sister Lou Ai, why are you here? Are you here to see me?" The guy with the crewcut head still hadn't changed his impatient and irritable personality, and he shouted as soon as he saw her from afar.
　　

"You're dreaming." Xia Xing tilted his short hair and said with a smile, "Sister Lou Ai."
　　

"I came here to exchange some things with Meng Langlang and the others. How are you doing in the army? Are you adapting?" Lou Ai made room for Meng Langlang, and Meng Langlang sat on her right, while Xia Xing and the man with the crewcut head sat opposite her.
　　

"Adapt, of course I can." The guy with the crewcut head touched his head and smiled.
　　

"Don't listen to his bragging. He is the first one to give up during training." Xia Xing laughed.
　　

"Xia Xing and I are the same, about the same." The crewcut-haired guy couldn't help but reveal his shortcomings. "If you ask me, it's not that we two are not capable enough. The others who train with us are all adults. They are naturally stronger than us. When we grow up, we will definitely be stronger than them."
　　

Xia Xing didn't say anything, just nodded secretly.
　　

"Well, I believe you guys, eating is the best?" Lou Ai asked with a smile.

“Sister Lou Ai!” The crewcut-haired guy was angry. When they were at the supermarket, he was the one who ate the most out of the five people in the team. He was teased by Yang Yang and the others a lot. He couldn’t help laughing when he was angry. “When the zombies surrounded our truck, I also stood by the truck and killed them. Sister Lou Ai, I haven’t forgotten what you taught us.”
　　

Xia Xing also nodded to express his opinion.
　　

"Yeah, I know." Lou Ai nodded and asked, "I heard that you are going to Datian County in W Province this time? You shouldn't go to the farmland, right?"
　　

"I remember that the factory and the farmland were quite far apart." Xia Xing said.
　　

"That's good." Although Lou Ai said this, she did not hide the solemnity on her face.

　　

"Sister Lou Ai, have you figured something out?" The guy with the crewcut head looked excited.

Meng Langlang: “???” Huh?
　　

Sister Lou Ai gritted her teeth and admitted, "Yes, I do have a bad feeling."
　　

Lou Ai looked at Xia Xing and the crewcut-haired guy with serious eyes, and secretly gave them thumbs up in her heart. It must be said that the identity of the master was really useful.
　　

W Province is geographically close to the mountains and along the sea. It was very developed before the end of the world. However, this also led to W Province becoming a hotbed of demons after the second and third purple moons. Datian County, as a famous county-level city in W Province, was naturally also full of dangers.
　　

If it is the current time period, there are still twelve days until the second purple moon, so there is indeed no danger there.
　　

But when she heard the name of Datian County, she instinctively felt a sense of horror. It was not the sense of crisis when a city was surrounded by zombies, but the sense of horror when seeing something scary. She must have forgotten something.

What exactly did she forget?
　　

Lou Ai counted the locations of the famous zombies in her mind, and none of them stayed in Datian County.
　　

"Sister Lou Ai, please wait. I'll go find our team leader and ask him to come over." Xia Xing stood up and hurried away.
　　

"Xia Xing's words are very effective in the team because of his grandfather. He will definitely be able to call the team leader over." said the crewcut-haired guy.
　　

Lou Ai nodded.
　　

Including her previous life, she had never been to W County, and when she was fleeing, she tended to go to cities in the south. She couldn't even find the source of this sense of horror.
　　

"Why are you hesitating? If you want it, just say it. What do you want to do now?" Meng Langlang slowly poked a finger on Lou Ai's hand, "Look, you didn't refuse. If you don't want to say it, just open my hand."

　　

"I'm worried about Xia Xing and Sanshi. I'll tell the leader and ask them to join the army temporarily." Lou Ai said directly.
　　

"I don't agree." Xia Xing stood on the side of the highway with a confused look on his face. Next to him was a simple-looking soldier wearing a military green combat uniform.

Yin Chong cast a condemning look at Xia Xing. He was pulled over for no apparent reason. As soon as he came over, he heard the young girl's outrageous words. Could it be that he was pulled over specifically to get girls to join his recruit team? Isn't this a joke?
