Title: A Fake Holy Mother in the Zombie Apocalypse

Chapter 87 - He was going to jump (1)
Bei Nuan discovered that they were thinking about the same thing. The owner of the small restaurant had mentioned a zombie virus inhibitor. If it was Huo Ren and his group that had murdered the restaurant staff, then he definitely had a connection the zombie virus inhibitor.
Bei Nuan turned her head to look at the sleeping Du Ruo. If a virus inhibitor existed, they might have a glimmer of hope. But, they had no idea where Huo Ren went after leaving Refuge #9.
Further west of here was Shuicheng. According to the plot in the novel, they would go to Shuicheng next to help Jiang Fei find someone. But under the circumstances, do they really want to go Shuicheng as originally planned?
Lu Xingchi was thinking the same question. After pondering over it for a while, he suddenly noticed the jeep was silent. He looked at Bei Nuan.
She wasn't asleep. She was leaning back on the seat and staring at the road ahead with a frown. She looked extremely worried.
Lu Xingchi didn't know what came over him. He reached out and held her hand.
Startled, Bei Nuan looked at him.
"Don't worry too much. It's useless to worry." Lu Xingchi said.
She let him hold her hand. After a long silence, she replied, "If only I didn't pull those two people up."
Lu Xingchi glanced at her. "You're overthinking things. If you didn't go pull them up, someone else would have. They wouldn't have been left hanging there. Du Ruo is a good person. If he sees someone about to fall like that man, he'll reach out to help them. He could have still ended up being scratched."
Lu Xingchi blamed himself. "It's my fault. I should have thought of that possibility at the time and immediately have someone check those two over for injuries."
They both felt it was their fault and fell silent.
Lu Xingchi glanced at Bei Nuan again and saw there were tears in her eyes. Persuading her didn't work. It would be better to tease her.
"Are those genuine tears?" Lu Xingchi asked, "You faked tears so many times. I've never seen you cry for real before."
Lu Xingchi was still holding her hand. He leaned towards her and said, "They're both asleep. Driving is too boring. How about you cry for me to see?"
Bei Nuan twitched her lips and tried to pull her hand out of his, but he held her hand tightly and didn't let go until there was a curve in the road.
After being annoyed by him, Bei Nuan didn't feel as upset.
The road split into three paths. If they continued west, they would reach Shuicheng. If they didn't go to Shuicheng, they could take the road north or south.
"Where should we go?" Bei Nuan heard Lu Xingchi whispering.
Bei Nuan couldn't decide either.
She had no idea where Huo Ren went. Even if she knew, they still might not be able to find them. And even if they found him, the zombie virus inhibitor might not exist.
Jiang Fei, who had been sleeping in the back seat, suddenly firmly said, "Go to Shuicheng."
Bei Nuan turned to look at him.
He smiled at Bei Nuan. "I just had a good dream. I dreamed that Du Ruo was perfectly fine and was eating a fried pork dish with red fermented bean curd that I cooked in Shuicheng. My dreams have always been very accurate. Trust me."
After saying that, he closed his eyes to sleep.
Lu Xingchi stepped on the accelerator and drove down the road to Shuicheng. Anyways, they had no clues. Any path was the same.
The yan du xian was finally ready to eat. Bei Nuan softly called out Du Ruo's name.
Du Ruo had nerves of steel. Truly, he had what it took to become a king of the zombies. He slept deeply even now, and she couldn't wake him up. She could only put the pot into the part of the pocket space where time was frozen. She yawned and fell asleep at some point.
When she woke up, she was covered by Lu Xingchi's coat, and the sun was rising over the horizon.
Lu Xingchi was still driving. He was probably worried that Du Ruo would suddenly turn into a zombie and hadn't slept all night.
Du Ruo was soundly asleep in the back seat. There didn't seem to be any changes.
The first thing he asked when he woke up was, "Is the yan du xian ready to eat?"
Lu Xingchi looked at his friend in the rearview mirror and remarked to Bei Nuan, "With food hanging over him, even if he becomes a zombie, it'll be after he finishes eating."
Bei Nuan agreed with that thought very much.
