Chapter 488: 269 Call for Help (First Update)

The crisp "snap" instantly brought those almost unruly big shots back to their senses. They quickly glanced at Bai Ye, whose face was ashen, and the White Jade Wine Glass in his hand, and were frightened by his appearance. They hurriedly averted their gaze, daring not to look again.

Cold sweat slid down Guan Rong’s forehead as he hastily said, "Someone! Bring a wine glass over!"

Yet Bai Ye suddenly stood up. "No need, my companion is drunk. Thank you, Squad Leader Guan, for your hospitality. We shall take our leave."

After he spoke, he slightly bent down to grasp Fang Yuxin’s hand and whispered in her ear, "You’re drunk. Let’s leave this place now."

Fang Yuxin had obviously not drunk too much; even before the apocalypse, her drinking capacity, though not great, was not to the extent of getting drunk from one glass. Afterward, as she became a Pure Wood Spirit Body and embarked on the path of cultivation, it became even harder for her to get drunk.

She glanced at Bai Ye and saw what seemed like a terrifying black storm brewing in his eyes. Although they hadn’t known each other for a long time, she understood at this moment that he was angry, very angry indeed.

Fang Yuxin slightly furrowed her brows. She actually felt a bit hungry, and the dishes here were quite good, a pity not to eat them. However, Bai Ye was obviously irritated. She hesitated but decided to go along with Bai Ye’s will and nodded.

Li Qingyun hadn’t had time to eat yet, only had a glass of drink. She had been busy all day, only had some food in the morning and at noon to fill her stomach, and now she was terribly hungry, but she said nothing. Seeing that Bai Ye and Fang Yuxin were about to leave, she stood up without hesitation.

Seeing the situation turning bad, Guan Rong could tell that Bai Ye was clearly jealous. He didn’t dare to keep them any longer and said, "Wait a moment! You haven’t had the chance to eat yet. How about I have someone prepare some food for you to take on the road?"

This time Bai Ye did not refuse. Guan Rong clearly intended to please him and was testing his reaction. If Bai Ye rejected the offer, it might lead these people to overthink. It was better to simply agree; it wasn’t like he would lose anything.

In the apocalypse, unlike during peacetime, food was extremely precious. Not to mention that he wouldn’t be polite to Guan Rong, even the other big shots present would definitely not be shy if they could take something with them! There was absolutely no question of losing face.

Playing the fool to give the impression of being well off was idiotic!

Seeing Bai Ye nod, Guan Rong immediately felt relieved, as did the other big shots. Guan Rong quickly gave the order, and soon, someone came out carrying a large food box.

The food box was quite large with a rather classic design, probably from a specialty restaurant. Bai Ye took it with one hand, nodded to Guan Rong and the other big shots, and then left with Fang Yuxin. Li Qingyun followed them expressionlessly. After they left the villa, she finally let out a long sigh.

The three got into the car, left the neighborhood, and found a secluded roadside to stop. They set up the food box on a table and chairs and started to eat with clean chopsticks.

All three being superpower users, and since they were still in the Safe Zone, they finished their meal quickly. Before long, they had cleaned out all the dishes in the food box.

Fang Yuxin thought the food box was quite pretty and couldn’t bear to throw it away, so she put it in the back seat of the car. She checked the time and saw that it was already past ten at night, which made her frown.

Li Qingyun sighed and said, "It’s already so late. Xinxin, the gate to the Safe Zone won’t be open at this hour. Let’s find a place to rest for the night and leave tomorrow morning."

This was contrary to Fang Yuxin’s initial expectation. She had thought that if Li Qingyun refused to leave after they found her, she would simply bid farewell with Bai Ye. If Li Qingyun wanted to leave, she would take her away. Unfortunately, she hadn’t expected to encounter that fool Guan Ren and get into a conflict with the Glory Mercenary Corps. Although the matter was later resolved and both sides shook hands in peace, it had wasted their time.

Bai Ye gently patted her shoulder to comfort her. "Let’s do that. It’s very late now, and even if we go out, there would be many zombies outside."

Zombies were more active at night and would approach the Safe Zone. If they tried to leave now, even if they managed to have the gate opened, they would face a vast group of zombies, which really wouldn’t be worth it.

Hearing this, Fang Yuxin also knew that now was not a good time to leave. She sighed resignedly and said to Li Qingyun, "In that case, please take us to a hotel here."
