"Alright, everyone, don't start a conflict." Chen Ran finally spoke, "The captain is right. Tonight may not be peaceful. It's late, let's eat something quickly and take turns resting. If danger comes again, it'll be troublesome."
"Okay."
Xue Fang closed his mouth reluctantly.
Xiao Jinfeng, calm as always, said nothing. He turned on his flashlight and swept it around.
"We'll stay here tonight. Let's spend the night in the mall."
The beam lit the ground, littered with zombie corpses, the air thick with stench and decay.
Before the apocalypse, even catching a whiff of this would've made people vomit. Now, survivors hardly blinked. Some could even sit in the middle of it and eat.
A few men cleared a small space. Chen Ran pulled bread and crackers from his space, handing them out.
"Professor Ling, time to eat."
He passed a bag to Ling Zhuang, then glanced politely at Jiang Jiamian.
"Would you like to join? We're companions now, after all."
