After a couple of hours of driving, the two cars stopped by a gas station.

Lin Feng and Lin Qiao stood on the clearing nearby and spread a map. Lin Feng pointed at one spot on the map and said to her, "We should be able to arrive at this town before dark. We'll stay there for the night, then leave tomorrow morning. Tomorrow noon, we should be arriving at Sea City."

Lin Qiao nodded and said, "Then, we'll find a place in this area to stay over the night."

On the other side, Li Zheng and the others found some stones and built a stove with them. After that, they found some dry wood, also chopping all the wooden tables and chairs in the gas station into long pieces.

Chen Yuting and his squad weren't familiar with Li Zheng and his people yet, so they didn't feel appropriate to interrupt them. Instead, they guarded aside awkwardly to prevent any possible sudden zombie attacks.

"Which one of you have fire power? Come here and help us build a fire," Li Zheng shouted at them.

"Xu, go help them," Chen Yuting instantly sent over one of his teammates.

Except for the injured two who were still in a coma, there were twenty-one people in his squad. The vehicle that Lin Qiao lent them wasn't large, but they could thankfully all squeeze into it. If not, a few of them would need to sit on the car roof.

Lin Qiao spent a while watching Li Zheng and the others build a fire to prepare the food, then turned to walk toward the hill behind the gas station. This place was rather remote. Apart from the gas station and a convenience store, the staff dormitory of the gas station should be nearby.

The area was surrounded by a series of hills, and on the hill behind the gas station was a small patch of woods.

Lin Qiao headed toward the woods, and after stepping in, she looked around and soon found a white figure standing on top of a tree. Seeing Lin Qiao walk over, Qiu Lili pouted and said to her unhappily, "I want to stay inside the space. There's so much dust out here!"

No tall buildings existed on their way, so Qiu Lili had been leaping through treetops. However, she had still breathed in quite some dust.

Lin Qiao walked to a rock and hopped onto it.

"Come over here then," she said.

Qiu Lili airily landed on the tock, then reached out her hands toward Lin Qiao. The latter held her hands and brought her into the space.

Seeing the two of them, Liu Jun asked with surprise, "Why are you in?"

Qiu Lili ran to her own couch and sat on it, then lazily lied down.

"Ah… it's too dusty on the road. She doesn't like it, so she asked me to bring her in," said Lin Qiao.

"Where are we now?" Liu Jun asked.

"We just entered Fuyang City. Right now, we're resting in a gas station. We'll stay here for two hours and continue driving in the afternoon. In the evening, we should be arriving at a small town in Yuhang District. We'll stay there for the night, and we'll enter Jiaxing City tomorrow morning," Lin Qiao said.

"I see," Liu Jun nodded and responded.



At that moment, Mengmeng was catching birds on the other side of the woods. Suddenly, she felt that Qiu Lili's vibe had disappeared. She paused briefly, then turned back to look at where Qiu Lili's vibe disappeared, but only managed to grasp a trace of her scent.

Then, she flashed toward Lin Qiao.

Lin Qiao was returning to the gas station. All of a sudden, she sensed a strong gust of wind blowing at her face. She calmly moved aside, then turned to look at Mengmeng with confusion, who was lying face down on the rock that she stood on before.

"What?"

"Roar!"

'Where's Lili? Where's Lili?'

Mengmeng lied on the rock and bared her teeth to roar at Lin Qiao. The latter looked at her and joked, "I ate Lili."

After spending a few days with Mengmeng, Lin Qiao felt that she was really like a naughty child. She was odd-tempered, willful at times, and she loved to play.

She always stayed around Qiu Lili. She feared the latter, but also seemed to like her very much.

If Tong Tong and Xiaolu were like her little toys, Qiu Lili could be described as her big toy. Also, Qiu Lili was like a friend that she had admitted.

Lin Qiao couldn't tell why Mengmeng suddenly lost her temper, but she still wanted to joke with her.

"Roar!"

'You lie!'

Mengmeng screamed, swiftly moving her limbs and pouncing on Lin Qiao.

"You knew I lie, so why're you nervous?" Lin Qiao leaped backward and flipped in the air before hopping onto a tree, then speaking lazily.

"Roar!"

'I don't care! Let Lili out!'

Mengmeng ignored her words and just kept roaring at her while charging at her again.

"I didn't kidnap her," said Lin Qiao helplessly, "She wanted to go in." While speaking, she leaped off the tree.

But before Lin Qiao landed, Mengmeng, who had leaped up, suddenly turned her body in the air and stepped on a tree nearby, lunging at the former.

Lin Qiao was playing with her, and not seriously dodging her attack. As a result, she was grasped by Mengmeng from the back.

Mengmeng jumped onto her back, her limbs wrapped tightly around her neck and waist, seeming to be desperate.

"Roarrrr!"

'I don't care! Let Lili out!'

Lin Qiao steadied herself, then speechlessly turned to look at Mengmeng while saying, "What are you doing? Lili doesn't like staying outside. It's all dusty on the way. She didn't want to stay outside. What can I do to her? Get down."

"Roar! Roar!"

'No! No!'

Mengmeng hung herself on Lin Qiao's back, then violently shook the latter's head.

Lin Qiao hurriedly raised her head to stop Mengmeng, "Stop! Stop this! Get down!"

However, Mengmeng shook her head more and more quickly. Lin Qiao tried to drag her down, but she refused, only holding Lin Qiao's head with her claws.

Lin Qiao found this both funny and annoying. She dragged Mengmegn's arms and tried harder to get her down.

"Scratching me won't help. Lili doesn't want to come out. What do I have to do with it?"

Still, Mengmeng refused to let her go. As they pulled and dragged each other, Lin Qiao's hat fell off, exposing her bald head.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

Mengmeng spread her fingers to slap Lin Qiao's bald head and express her discontentment.

As she refused to get down, Lin Qiao threatened her, "If you continue doing this, I'll ask Lili to banish you! Will you listen to me or not!"

Her threat immediately pissed Mengmeng off. She abruptly opened her mouth wide to bite Lin Qiao's bald head.

"Ah! Damn! You little devil! Your saliva is on my head!" Lin Qiao exploded, bursting in screams.

She didn't sense any pain from Mengmeng's bite, but the sticky feeling on her head was pretty clear!

She couldn't stay calm anymore. Instead, she put forth her strength through her arm, dragged Mengmeng off, and threw her away.

"Roar!" Mengmeng, who was violently dragged down by Lin Qiao, landed on the ground like a nimble cat. After that, she instantly bared her teeth toward the other.

Lin Qiao was speechless.

'Damn! I really can't pamper this naughty child!'
