RTIWTLITEOTW Chapter 18

Jiang Xianchuan and Shi Yi also joined the battle, but this time they were more cautious, not only dodging the zombies’ attacks, but also being careful not to get any of the sticky liquid on them.

“This isn’t a long-term solution! Dealing with these zombies is endless!”

At this moment, Jiang Xianchuan felt the pressure mounting; each swing of his knife required a great deal of strength. Just then, a piercing car horn sounded, drawing his attention.

“What are you looking at! Get in the car!” a hurried voice shouted.

Hearing this, Jiang Xianchuan, Shi Yi, and Li Lingyu immediately exchanged glances. They tacitly decided to abandon the fight with the zombies and turn to rush towards the car.

In the process of running, they waved their weapons again, eliminating several zombies that were hot on their heels.

Finally, the three successfully boarded the car. The driver quickly started the engine and drove away, leaving the group of big-headed zombies far behind.

As the car drove further and further away, the three of them finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“Thank you, Uncle,” Jiang Xianchuan said, looking at the man in the driver’s seat who was smoking a cigarette. “It’s nothing, just a small effort. Did you guys just escape?”

Jiang Xianchuan nodded upon hearing this. The Uncle took a puff of his cigarette and continued, “Sigh, I just came from City C. I was originally going to the safety zone there, but it turns out that safety zone has fallen.”

Hearing this news, Jiang Xianchuan thought of the woman who brought supplies to thank him. If she was also in the safety zone, she was probably in grave danger.

“Young man, where are you three headed?”

“We can get off nearby.”

The Uncle didn’t ask any more questions, focusing his eyes on the road ahead. He then chose a road where no zombies were present and slowly parked the car on the side of the road.

He turned his head and smiled at the three of them, saying, “Alright, this place is relatively safe. You can get out here.”

Shi Yi was moved to tears and hurriedly said, “Thank you, Uncle, really, thank you so much! If it weren’t for you, we might have already met with disaster!” Her voice was full of sincerity and emotion, and her eyes sparkled with tears.

The Uncle lightly waved his hand, comforting her, “It’s nothing, just a small effort. You must be careful, I’ll be going now.” After saying that, he started the car again and continued forward.

The three of them watched the Uncle’s receding figure, and a warm current surged in their hearts. In this cruel world, there were still such kind people who gave them hope and warmth.

Afterwards, the three walked towards the Vegetable Market. As before, they tried to avoid fighting as much as possible. In this way, the three safely returned to their safe house.

As soon as Jiang Xianchuan entered the door, he collapsed on the sofa like a puddle of mud. He felt like even breathing was difficult, as if all the strength in his body had been drained.

This trip out was simply thrilling, but fortunately, they eventually managed to cope with all the crises.

“Rest well, I’ll go cook,” Shi Yi said, putting down the things in her hands and walking towards the kitchen.

Suddenly, Jiang Xianchuan seemed to remember something important and hurriedly rummaged through his space for iodine and bandages.

He beckoned Li Lingyu to sit next to him, and then carefully picked up the iodine and gently wiped his wounds, each movement appearing particularly cautious.

“Tell me if it hurts,” Jiang Xianchuan said, while continuing to focus on treating Li Lingyu’s wounds.

After wiping the iodine on them, Jiang Xianchuan bandaged him up and tied a pretty bow. “You must, must, must not get it wet these next few days, understand?” Jiang Xianchuan looked at Li Lingyu and earnestly instructed him, his eyes full of concern and worry.

Seeing Li Lingyu nod, Jiang Xianchuan felt a little relieved. He knew that Li Lingyu always listened to him, but he still couldn’t help but give him a few more instructions: “The wound hasn’t healed yet. If it gets wet, it may become infected and worsen, so you must be careful.” After saying these words, Jiang Xianchuan’s brows relaxed slightly.

Li Lingyu felt Jiang Xianchuan’s concern, and his heart felt warm. He earnestly promised Jiang Xianchuan: “Okay.”

Hearing Li Lingyu say this, Jiang Xianchuan smiled and gently touched Li Lingyu’s head.
