Global Collapse

Chapter 326 The World Is Going Downhill and People's Hearts Are No Longer What They Used to Be
Seeing the three unusually harmonious heads, Firefly scrambled to her feet.

The hearse lights were still on, which allowed the fireflies to see the scene before them.

She paused slightly, then looked down to touch her waist, where the blisters had indeed almost completely healed.

My mind became much clearer as a result.

She then excitedly looked up at the three heads inside the car window.

Seemingly unable to think of any words of gratitude, Liu Ying opened her mouth for a long time but couldn't utter a single word. Gu Mian and the others could only see her mouth moving slightly, as if she wanted to say something but was too excited to think of anything.

Several more seconds passed before Gu Mian heard Liu Ying's voice.

"Thanks……"

"thank you all……"

Her voice trembled slightly from excitement, but it remained exceptionally gentle, just like her usual speaking style.

Judging from the sound, Gu Mian felt that the girl who had finally woken up seemed like she might faint at any moment due to a stitch.

Immediately afterwards, he saw Liu Ying walk a few steps toward him, her hands fiddling nervously with her body, as if trying to find something.

It's easy to guess from her appearance that she wanted to find something valuable to give to Gu Mian.

Unfortunately, she was simply too poor.

Gu Mian watched for several seconds, but Liu Ying didn't pull out anything, so she quickly waved her hand and said, "Forget it, don't touch it anymore. I don't want it, I really don't want it."

Fireflies were clearly aware of their own poverty.

She silently lowered her hand, her eyes filled with unease: "The medicine that made me recover so quickly must have been expensive. You must have bought it to prevent yourselves from getting sick, but now you've given it to me. I'm so sorry..."

It has to be said that the human brain's ability to fill in the blanks is truly extraordinary.

Seemingly influenced by the fireflies, the fat man next to Gu Mian silently took a step back, standing behind her, looking thoughtful.

Noticing something was wrong, Gu Mian turned around and looked at the fat man, somewhat puzzled: "What's wrong with you?"

The fat man swallowed hard and whispered to Gu Mian, "Speaking of which, do these kinds of scenarios always end with the woman offering herself to the man?"

Gu Mian: "..."

In order to prevent the situation from escalating to such a serious point, Gu Mian reached out and pulled Xiao Hong, who had been hiding in the corner, to the window.

At this moment, Liu Ying was still frowning and thinking when she suddenly saw a head appear inside the car window.

She looked closely, but her gaze trembled slightly when it met that face.

Gu Mian and the others had long been used to Xiao Hong's appearance. She was truly ugly, and quite frightening at first glance. However, after seeing that face every day, even though it was quite frightening before, time had faded it by a third.

But if someone who has never seen this face before were to suddenly look at it in the middle of the night, they might be scared out of their wits.

Gu Mian had originally hoped that Xiao Hong's intervention would scare people away, or at least make them too scared to talk to them anymore.

But Liu Ying seemed to have exceptional mental fortitude. She only trembled slightly before calming down immediately. She didn't show any fear or disgust, but instead looked at Gu Mian with a puzzled expression, seemingly not understanding why he would suddenly pull a woman over.

Gu Mian: "..." Not only was she not scared away, but she also looked like she needed my help.

no solution anymore……

Since she won't run, I'll just have to run myself...

Under the puzzled gaze of the fireflies outside, Gu Mian quickly moved to the driver's seat and stepped on the gas.

While still confused, Liu Ying saw the white car in front of her suddenly roar, and then the wheels quickly started to rub against the ground, and the whole car began to move. In just a few seconds, the car sped away from the scene.

It was like a hit-and-run.

"Hey, wait a minute!" Realizing something was wrong, Liu Ying ran several steps in the direction the car had left, but only ended up eating the dust kicked up by the ground.

After she stopped and took a few deep breaths, she looked ahead again and there wasn't even any dust left.

The car had disappeared from sight, as if it had never been there at all.

If it weren't for the fact that the chickenpox blisters on her waist had already scabbed over, Liu Ying would almost think she was dreaming.

"What a good person..." Liu Ying murmured to herself, watching the car drive away, though she didn't know why the good person had run away.

"If I have the chance to meet them again, I must repay them," she said, then suddenly remembered something. "Oh right, I still need to buy medicine. It's so late, and my neighbors must be waiting for me!"

Thinking of this, Liuying quickly determined the direction and then jogged towards the supermarket.

It must be said that fate is indeed a very mysterious thing.

Just a few days later, in the early morning, Gu Mian and her companions encountered this woman again, the one whom "the plot would lead her to repay with her body."

It was a sunny and breezy midday.

Gu Mian and the others had already driven away from the town they had been in. Over the past few days, Chu Changge had been the one to explore the surrounding area, draw maps, and choose a relatively safe route for the hearse to pass through. While exploring the area, Chu Changge was also looking for the high-class ticket booth they were looking for.

Effort always pays off. Chu Changge did find the high-class ticket booth, but just as Gu Mian and the others followed Chu Changge to the booth, they unexpectedly encountered Liu Ying, who had also arrived there at the same time.

Perhaps because it's a high-end ticket booth, there are quite a few players coming and going, and a quick glance reveals that a large number of them have already been infected with the virus.

The coughing and sneezing never stopped.

Some slightly wealthier players bought barrier masks from the supermarket, but not many people wore them.

Firefly spotted the fat man amidst a chorus of coughs; it was all because the fat man was too big and an easy target.

And in broad daylight, he quickly ran over and grabbed Gu Mian's clothes—because Gu Mian's white coat was the easiest garment to tug on among the three of them.

Gu Mian didn't even have time to run away, and could only be grabbed by the hem of her clothes by a girl in full view of everyone, enduring the strange looks from the crowd.

Liu Ying seemed relieved: "I was afraid I wouldn't be able to run into you..."

Gu Mian was on the verge of tears: "Why could I run into you even after traveling so far?"

Ah, coo coo coo coo coo!
