Chapter 481: Ambush

Luo Ming gobbled down the meat without uttering a word. However, since he was an ordinary person, and his appetite was poor, he could not eat much. The barbecued meat was a far cry from what he usually ate. Naturally, Luo Ming knew how lucky he was to enjoy such an extravagant meal, and it was all due to Jiang Liushi.

At the same time, Wang Kui, Lu Shanshan, and the others were looking at them enviously. After a few bites, Luo Ming paused, and then asked Jiang Liushi with a smile, "Jiang Liushi, may I-"

"Let them eat some," Jiang Liushi answered directly.

"Thank you, Jiang Liushi. Oh sorry, Brother Jiang," Wang Kui said happily. He knew that Jiang Liushi did this for Luo Ming's sake. After all, they weren't familiar with Jiang Liushi back in university at all. Wang Kui called Jiang Liushi 'Brother' just for cottoning up.

Cheng Jing also gratefully thanked Jiang Liushi for letting them eat barbecued meat. Lu Shanshan hesitated. Originally, she wanted to refuse, but in the end, she could not resist the barbecued meat's temptation. After getting the meat, she couldn't wait to eat. The meat was really delicious. Did Jiang Liushi and Li Yuxin have such marvelous meals on a daily basis?

After Luo Ming distributed a portion of his meat with the other students, he clapped his hands and stopped eating. "Jiang Liushi, where did you come from?" Luo Ming asked curiously.

"Xiayuan," Jiang Liushi answered. Seeing that Luo Ming did not know where Xiayuan was, Jiang Liushi continued, "It is in Sanxiang Province."

"Wow! That is quite far." Luo Ming nodded.

Jiang Liushi just smiled slightly. He wondered what reaction Luo Ming would show if he knew that they had already driven to most of the southern areas.

"What does the paranormal you mentioned earlier know?" Jiang Liushi asked directly. Although Su Guangqi and Su Tong knew that there was a safety zone in Jiangning through the radio, it was just a piece of the information.

"Jiangning's current situation…he had said that the security zone is under strict control, and usually ordinary people can't enter. The surrounding area is also chaotic. Ordinary people and paranormals are coexisting together, and you can buy everything you want in the survivor area. If you need to sell anything, you'll definitely find a buyer. Even some powerful paranormals from Jiangbei go to trade there. But if one's strength is insufficient, they are likely to be swallowed," Luo Ming recounted the paranormal's words.

"Well…" Jiang Liushi didn't know how to answer. But the situation at Jiangning was indeed somewhat different from what he had heard. The military area sounded very strict.

"If you aren't in a hurry, I will ask that person to come over, so that you can ask him," Luo Ming suggested.

"Good idea." Jiang Liushi nodded.

Luo Ming nodded back and then he got up and run off to call that person. Jiang Liushi intended to tell to Lin Wei that they'd like to stay here for a little longer, but he was nowhere to be found; only his lackeys remained, staring at them.

"Xiyu, pay more attention to them," Jiang Liushi said in a low voice.

"Okay." Ran Xiyu nodded.

In an unfamiliar environment, Jiang Liushi will not feel restless, but he would not take it lightly either. It was the same for Wang Kui and the others, even though they were classmates in the past, Jiang Liushi would not trust them that easily. After all, a long time had passed. Not to mention now, even before doomsday, Jiang Liushi was never a gullible person. Amongst them, Jiang Liushi only knew Luo Ming well.

Lu Shanshan glanced at Jiang Liushi and then pulled Wang Kui and Chen Jing. "Let's go."

In the survival base, men and women lived in a large room respectively. Some strong ones could live in a larger room with several people. Only paranormals could live in a single room, which was practically a suite.

The man Luo Ming was looking for was in a large room. In fact, he was a lower supervisor, and usually, Luo Ming could not talk to him as their statuses were way different. What Luo Ming recounted earlier was just the content of the conversation between that supervisor and some others. Luo Ming needed to beg him to help Jiang Liushi.

The supervisor was a bald man, who was sitting in the room to eat with some others. They were eating stir-fried vegetables, in which the meat was much more than what Luo Ming and ordinary people would eat. When Luo Ming came in, the supervisor and the others in the room frowned, "What are you doing?" asked the supervisor.

Luo Ming smiled and carefully explained the intention of his visit. "As long as Brother Qing agrees, I will be at your disposal in the future," Luo Ming said.

"What?"Brother Qing snorted and said with a disdainful smile, "You'll be at my disposal? What can you do? Laundry or polish shoes?"

"Everything is fine with me!"Luo Ming kept smiling. He didn't know what Jiang Liushi wanted to do at Jiangning, but Luo Ming believed that if they had more information, their journey would be safe. Moreover, he felt gratitude toward Jiang Liushi as he had invited him to eat the delicious barbecued meat.

One meal was nothing, but Luo Ming was totally moved. In this post-apocalyptic world, only Jiang Liushi made him like they were brothers. At the same time, it was no different for him for whom he would run errands.

"Little boy, you are loyal to your friends." Brother Qing walked in front of Luo Ming, patted his cheek, and then slammed him viciously. Luo Ming was suffering, but he didn't dare to move at all.

"After all, we were classmates-"

Brother Qing interrupted him suddenly, "Sh*t up! Classmates? Sh*t! You should look at yourself first. You are not good enough to serve me! Why should I follow you back to give information about Jiangning? Get out!" The spit of Brother Qing was splashed on Luo Ming's face.

Lou Ming lowered his head. Actually, as a supervisor, Brother Qing would always curse at them and mistreat them. Countless times, Luo Ming would like to scream. However, in the end, he was forced to bow his head since the gap in status and strength between the two sides forced Luo Ming to accept the bitter reality. This time was just the same.

But unexpectedly, Lin Wei came in from the door and said, "Why don't you go? Go, and call Feng Yi. Feng Yi is your boss, so he knows a lot, right? I heard that he was a famous figure at Jiangning."

Brother Qing was stunned, but then he nodded. "No problem."

When Luo Ming saw Brother Qing grabbing clothes and going to find Feng Yi, he turned to look at Lin Wei. He had a bad feeling. Although Luo Ming was an optimistic person, that didn't mean he was stupid. Why would Lin Wei run specifically to say this? It was quite strange. Moreover, Lin Wei didn't know Jiang Liushi at all, so he had no reason to do that.

"Wait, Brother Lin, thank you, but you don't need to do this," Luo Ming quickly said.

"You should go and call your classmate here," Lin Wei answered.

Luo Ming's heart sank, and he suddenly understood everything.

"Excuse me, Brother Lin. If my classmate annoyed you, I would apologize to you. Don't be angry," Luo Ming quickly shouted. He didn't expect that he was not only of no help to Jiang Liushi, but he had also brought harm to him. Although Jiang Liushi was powerful, he just had one minibus as well as several members. How could he compete with them? Moreover, Lin Wei was quite good at ambushing others!

"Are you sure you don't want to go?" Lin Wei asked again.

"Brother Lin!" Luo Ming wanted to beg, but Lin Wei got closer and slapped him, sending him flying as Lin Wei was a paranormal. Luo Ming spat a mouthful of blood at once.

At that moment, Luo Ming saw Wang Kui, Chen Jing, and Lu Shanshan coming his way. In fact, Lu Shanshan had taken the initiative to call Wang Kui and Chen Jing to come together. She was under the impression that Jiang Liushi was not a stone-hearted man, so she wanted to help Luo Ming and then beg Jiang Liushi to take them away. In this base, they had no chance to lead a better life at all. However, as long as they could follow Jiang Liushi, things would be totally different. At least, they could live in that clean and luxurious minibus. But Lu Shanshan did not expect that they would witness such a scene as soon as they came. Wang Kui and Chen Jing were scared while Lu Shanshan was trembling from shock.

Seeing that Lin Wei was walking toward them, Lu Shanshan breathed quickly, but then she suddenly said, "I can do it! Yes, I can go to call Jiang Liushi here."

"You!" Luo Ming shouted in surprise. Wang Kui and Chen Jing were also thunderstruck. They all looked at Lu Shanshan. In their minds, Lu Shanshan was a kind girl, and none of them expected she could make such a decision.

"Can you? You are not familiar with him!"Lin Wei said.

"But I know his girlfriend. She is a doctor so I will ask her something about gynecological matters. I will invite her here to exam me, and I'm sure Jiang Liushi will follow her," Lu Shanshan explained.

Lin Wei stared at her in surprise and nodded after listening to Lu Shanshan's plan. "Good idea."

"Lu Shanshan, what do you want to do?" Luo Ming shouted.

Lin Wei was annoyed by Luo Ming's behavior, and he pulled a long knife.

"Brother Lin, since I'd like to help you, please don't kill Luo Ming. I once heard that paranormals are very sensitive to the smell of blood. If they find something amiss, things will get complicated," Lu Shanshan said immediately. Lin Wei nodded.

"Lu Shanshan, you implored us earlier to beg Luo Ming to convince Jiang Liushi to take us with him. Why do you want to help Lin Wei harm Jiang Liushi now?" After leaving the large room, Wang Kui and Chen Jing asked in a low voice.

"It can't be helped. We witnessed everything. If we didn't cooperate, they'd kill us all," Lu Shanshan said calmly, "Think it carefully! Jiang Liushi looked down on us. After all, we are not familiar with each other. If we followed him, he might abandon us on the way. Since it's like that, it would be better to stay here and get along with our boss. Brother Qing is just a supervisor, but he leads a better life than us." Of course, that was not her only goal.

"I can't do it…" Chen Jing shook her head quickly as she couldn't commit such an atrocity. Just thinking about it made her feel afraid of death.

"You are really useless." Lu Shanshan shook her head and glanced at Wang Kui. "Wang Kui, what about you?"

"I…" Wang Kui hesitated. He looked at Lu Shanshan and felt that this woman seemed to have turned into a completely different person, but maybe this was Lu Shanshan's true nature.

Wang Kui swallowed and finally nodded. "I will help you." He thought that even if he didn't follow Lu Shanshan, she would go by herself. Once her plan worked, it would be too late for regrets. They would have already offended her, so how could their days become better?

"Then, you should distract Jiang Liushi as I bring Li Yuxin with me," Lu Shanshan nodded and said.

As she was walking in the direction of the minibus, Lu Shanshan's heartbeat gradually calmed down. She knew that what she was about to do today could change her life. Although her mindset had changed, she believed it was God's intention…

'That's your fate, Jiang Liushi,' Lu Shanshan said to herself.

Presently, Brother Qing had gathered with Feng Yi, Lin Wei, and others and they were planning the ambush. They had five paranormals and 20 people in total. They had used a lot of manpower to ambush the people in the minibus! They all believed that as long as Jiang Liushi's team took the bait, everything would go their way as in their minds nobody had the power to withstand the might of their firepower.

After a while, Wang Kui and Lu Shanshan made their way to Jiang Liushi's minibus.

"Brother Jiang, Luo Ming went to find Brother Qing, but he didn't know where Brother Qing had gone. I'd like to ask if you could help me with something," Wang Kui said to Jiang Liushi.

At the same time, Lu Shanshan got closer to Li Yuxin, lowered her voice and said, "Yuxin, can I ask you to come with me and check me for a disease, that is…sorry, I feel a little uncomfortable when talking about it."

"Is the sanitary condition too bad? If it is because of this, it's quite common," Li Yuxin answered without thinking more. After all, girls were very vulnerable in this aspect. The sanitary conditions after doomsday were terrible.

However, Li Yuxin did not follow immediately. "Please wait, I have to report to Brother Jiang first."

A hint of gloominess flashed through Lu Shanshan's eyes when she heard that. She had not expected that Li Yuxin would have to report everything to Jiang Liushi. But, Lu Shanshan thought everything would be okay as her plan was flawless.

After listening to Li Yuxin's words, Jiang Liushi looked at Lu Shanshan and then walked over. "No problem, but I'd like to accompany you."

Hearing Jiang Liushi's answer, Lu Shanshan's heart jumped, and her facial expression changed. "I don't think that's appropriate."

"Rest assured, I am not interested in watching you, I just want to protect Yuxin," Jiang Liushi said directly.

Lu Shanshan looked at Jiang Liushi, but her uneasiness became more and more intense. She felt that Jiang Liushi didn't treat her as a woman but a clown.

Jiang Liushi asked leisurely, "Wang Kui, Lu Shanshan, do you feel that I'm a kind person just because we are classmates?"

Lu Shanshan's heart leaped wildly, and her face became extremely white. She forced herself to calm down and squeezed a smile. "How could that be? If you want to come with us, be our guest. "

"Then we can tour around your survival base," Jiang Zhuying also jumped out of the minibus and said. Su Guangqi and Su Tong remained in the minibus, while Ying, Zhang Hai, and Sun Kun were responsible for protecting them.

Jiang Liushi took Li Yuxin, Jiang Zhuying, Ling and Ran Xiyu with him and followed Lu Shanshan and Wang Kui. They were walking to the core area of the survival base. Lu Shanshan was very upset, but she looked extremely calm. Actually, she felt happy with the fact that Jiang Liushi wanted to follow her. Originally, she wanted to use Li Yuxin as bait to draw Jiang Liushi out, but it was needless now as the latter, as well as three other girls, followed them directly.

"Brother Jiang, my room is just in front of us. But I'd like for Yuxin to come inside as it's a delicate matter," Lu Shanshan said with a shy look on her face.

Jiang Liushi glanced at her with a smile, but he didn't say anything.

Currently, five paranormals and 20 people were waiting in ambush with lots of ammunition. They were waiting quietly for Lu Shanshan to bring Li Yuxin to this room. They had thrown Luo Ming to the corner and blocked his mouth so he could not warn them.He could do nothing more than stare at the door desperately. His eyes were filled with anger and anxiety. Several vultures were waiting for the door to open and grab Li Yuxin.
