Chapter 22 A Sword that Runs Rampant in the Apocalypse (22)

After a simple breakfast, Bai Tang and her three companions, along with their dog, prepared to leave. Coward was placed in a cage by Bai Tang and left to its fate.

As they left the house, they encountered the same man and woman they had seen before, who were now holding sticks and bread. These were the same items that Bai Tang had left outside the previous day.

Seeing that the old woman had woken up, the woman exclaimed in surprise, “What luck! The old lady didn’t turn into a zombie. But you, a woman, taking care of two old people and a cripple, are really stupid. And even the dog has been infected with the zombie virus!”

The man pulled the woman away and said, “Don’t get involved in other people’s business. Let’s hurry up and gather our things and leave.”

Bai Tang said, “If your parents or loved ones were still alive, would you abandon them?”

Before the man and woman could answer, Bai Tang continued, “People who choose to abandon others have no right to ridicule or criticize those who choose not to abandon their loved ones.”

Grandma raised her thumb and said, “My little Tang’er is right. Life is precious and no one’s life is worth less than anyone else’s.”

The woman wanted to say something else, but was dragged away by the man. In the apocalypse, danger lurks everywhere, it was best to argue less.

After getting in the car, Bai Tang was considering finding another person to drive another car to carry weapons.

Just as they came out, the solution was presented to them on a silver platter.

A young girl was using an iron rod to bash the head of a zombie, her eyes longing for the food in Bai Tang’s vehicle. She reached out to grab some, but it was as if she encountered an invisible barrier, unable to take another step forward.

Bai Tang pushed the wheelchair with one hand and held the cage with the other, calling out, “Hey, little sister, do you want to come with us? Do you want to join our team? I’m team leader Bai Tang.”

Tang Manli turned her head nervously, wondering if the vehicle she had just robbed was theirs. However, the composition of their small team was really strange— a high school girl who looked relatively young, a handsome man with a cold expression, a little puppy curled up in a cage, and two old grandparents holding hands and looking kind and benevolent.

It was very different from any team she had encountered before. Tang Manli pointed to the car and weakly said, “Sister, is this car yours?”

Without waiting for their response, Tang Manli continued, “Sister, can I really join you guys? Can I join your team?”

Tang Manli thought, with this kind of combination and a female leader, it shouldn’t be like the other teams she had encountered.

Bai Tang nodded, “Of course you can. Can you drive? Little sister.”

Tang Manli nodded vigorously, her neck making a cracking sound. It hurts!!!

Grandma asked worriedly, “Did you twist your neck, little girl? Come here, let this old woman massage it for you.”

Tang Manli sheepishly smiled, “It’s fine, Grandma. It’s already better.”

Bai Tang handed her some water and food, “Get in the car first and we can talk later. Oh, and you haven’t answered my question yet— can you drive?”

Tang Manli gratefully accepted the food and swallowed a mouthful of water, “I can drive, sister. My name is Tang Manli, you can call me whatever you like, sister.”

Tang Manli only felt that Bai Tang was radiating light and was so beautiful and gentle. What a good and kind girl!

Shi Minzhi coldly looked on from the side, not appearing to be easy to approach or talk to.

Stupid woman, with such a kind heart, just wait and see what happens later.

This car had exactly five seats, which were now all filled. Tang Manli volunteered to hold onto Coward’s cage.

“Sister, Grandpa, Grandma, big… big brother.” Tang Manli looked at Shi Minzhi and hesitated for a moment and said, “I’ve met several teams before, but I didn’t go with them.”

The old man asked, “Why didn’t you go with them, little girl? It’s better to have more people and someone to take care of you.”
