The beautiful woman in the quick transmigration novel has been targeted by the male lead again.

After this incident, they even found the hooded windbreaker in their luggage. The weather was getting colder and colder, and the temperature would drop further north, so wearing this wasn't out of place.

They searched the mountain again to see if they could find the black animal, but apart from the man-made roads, the rest of the mountain was covered by dense forests that were difficult to see through.

Ultimately, they decided to continue on their way. Zhao Chenyang said, "Next, we'll try our best to reach the Northwest and not waste too much time on the road."

Cheng Zhenkai asked, "What? Don't you feel you need to do more now?"

"That's not it."

Zhao Chenyang said, "Right now we don't have the equipment, so even if we discover an unusual creature, there's really nothing we can do."

The changes occurring inside cells cannot be observed with the naked eye, and it is impossible to conduct control experiments.

Most importantly, they currently lack any decent weapons, and their only fighting force is Cheng Zhenkai. If something like today were to happen again, and the situation were to become even more serious, all four of them would likely be doomed.

He had been too idealistic. The mutated zombies were visibly much stronger. Without thorough preparation, acting on mere enthusiasm was tantamount to prolonging one's life.

Cheng Zhenkai said, "How do you know that there will definitely be equipment in the Northwest? And how can you guarantee that you will be able to get to the Northwest?"

"Instead of dwelling on the uncertainty of the future, it's better to do your best in the present."

Zhao Chenyang fell silent.

In the evening, they found a roadside hotel in a suburban area surrounded by single-story houses, which made the five-story hotel seem exceptionally grand.

Several cars were parked in front of the hotel. After entering, Chang Ning found four or five people in the lobby, all of them strong adult men, presumably searching for supplies in the hotel. Chang Ning glanced around and didn't see a single woman.

The apocalypse had been going on for some time, and the survivors didn't look too well. Every car parked outside was covered in dust and grime, including Cheng Zhenkai's car, some of which even had dark red bloodstains on them.

Upon seeing them enter, the group of people all looked wary. Although their eyes were tired and their clothes were tattered, their gazes were filled with a chilling ferocity, as if they could suddenly burst into murder at any moment.

Chang Ning hid behind Cheng Zhenkai. She was wearing Cheng Zhenkai's windbreaker, a mask, and a baseball cap. The hood of her windbreaker was also pulled up, and she was completely covered up. However, judging from her figure, it was still easy to recognize that she was a woman.

"Don't be afraid."

Cheng Zhenkai patted her arm, then turned to the group of people and asked, "Are there any rooms upstairs?"

The group of people looked like a gang. They sized up the four of them and replied, "We've taken the second floor. You can go upstairs."

Cheng Zhenkai nodded and led them up to the third floor.

There was no electricity, and it was already dark. Only a few faint rays of light occasionally shone into the dim corridor. There was a lot of messy dirt on the walls on both sides, and it was hard to tell if it was bloodstains. Occasionally, strange noises came from some of the rooms. Chang Ning felt a chill run down her spine and thought that this really looked like a scene from a horror movie.

They found two rooms, checked the locks, and moved in, finally feeling relieved.

The longer one stays in this environment, the more tense one's mind becomes. Changning had no appetite that night, ate a piece of bread, and went to bed.

At first, they used their own blankets to sleep, but now they don't care about such things anymore.

When Cheng Zhenkai returned, he saw her lying on the bed with her eyes closed, seemingly asleep. He frowned, went over, and touched her face. "Are you feeling unwell?"

Chang Ning didn't open her eyes, but rubbed her face against his hand: "Where did you go?"

Cheng Zhenkai's heart softened. He lowered his head and kissed her a few times, saying, "I went downstairs and exchanged some supplies with that group of people."

What supplies should we exchange?

Cheng Zhenkai said, "I gave them two bags of milk powder and a bag of cereal in exchange for two apples, and I also gave them the remaining chocolates."

Chang Ning laughed and said, "It doesn't seem like a good deal."

"There's nothing I can do." Cheng Zhenkai nuzzled her nose with his. "They have a pregnant woman with her and a child who looks about six or seven years old."

"Cheng Zhenkai".

Chang Ning opened her eyes and called to him.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Chang Ning reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck: "Let's do it."

She was clearly using a breathy tone, but it exploded in Cheng Zhenkai's ears, and his voice became stuttering: "W-why so suddenly?"

Although I had thought about it countless times in my mind and dreams, I still felt unprepared when I suddenly heard this!

"Didn't you say to live for the moment?" Chang Ning asked, seeing his helpless expression, "Or do you just not know how?"

"Changning!"

Cheng Zhenkai immediately flew into a rage: "I'll show you right now whether I can do it or not!"

After saying that, he started to take off his clothes, but his hands trembled as if he had Parkinson's disease. Hearing Chang Ning's laughter, he didn't care about his clothes anymore. He reached out and lifted the quilt and threw it aside, then immediately covered himself with it.

Despite having kissed so many times, he seemed to have completely forgotten what happened before, only knowing how to charge around recklessly, and Chang Ning's lips were even bitten until they bled.

After a heartfelt exchange, Chang Ning was already drowsy, her face and body covered in sweat, so much so that she couldn't tell whose sweat it was. All she could hear was Cheng Zhenkai's heavy breathing.

After an unknown amount of time, Cheng Zhenkai finally got up reluctantly, wet a towel and came over to wipe her body. As he wiped her, he noticed something was wrong; her body temperature seemed a little high.

He quickly reached out to touch her forehead and called out, "Changning! Baby! Wake up!"

Chang Ning groggily opened her eyes: "What's wrong?"

"Baby, is anything bothering you?"

"No, I want to sleep."

After saying that, she was about to close her eyes again when Cheng Zhenkai pinched her chin and shook it: "Baby, don't sleep!"

He touched her forehead with his own, and with his other hand, he groped around behind her ear and on her neck. Chang Ning felt like a fly was buzzing around her. She said weakly, "Cheng Zhenkai, what are you trying to do!"

"You have a fever!"

Chang Ning was stunned for a moment, unable to react for a moment, and then she heard a "slap" sound as Cheng Zhenkai slapped himself hard. Chang Ning's eyes widened: "What are you doing?"

"it's all my fault!"

He could tell something was wrong with her, and he should have refused when she made the suggestion, but he hated himself for letting the temptation cloud his judgment. "Baby, don't sleep yet, I'll go find some fever reducer!"

Finally, Zhao Chenyang and Li Tianxu, who had fallen asleep, were woken up. Chang Ning was wrapped in a blanket and held in Cheng Zhenkai's arms. The four of them picked up their luggage and prepared to leave the hotel.

There was another man downstairs, probably one of the group keeping watch. Ask them what was wrong.

Cheng Zhenkai said his wife had a fever and he needed to go into the city to find fever reducers.

Seeing his anxious expression, the man didn't try to dissuade him, but only told them that some zombies would hide at night and to be careful.
