Reborn In The Apocalypse: It Had Always Been You

Later on, they did not encounter any more danger along the way. They only encountered some scattered zombies. They did not need to do anything and could just drive over them.

The truck was heading towards the suburbs of City K. That was the official location of City K's granary. As the center of a large grain province, City K's granary was the largest in the country. It was tempting to imagine how much food there was.

Ling Jing stood at the front of the truck and looked out. His eyes were deep and did not show any signs of danger. He carefully approached Gu Jincheng and said, "I didn't find anyone this time, Boss."

The purpose of them coming here was to find information and the granary. In fact, their most important goal was to find Academician Cao. Academician Cao was much more precious than information. If they could not find him now, he might have already been killed.

Therefore, Ling Jing was in a bad mood. Without Academician Cao, their trip would have been in vain.

"It's fine. Just take the information. Let's get someone else to continue researching," Gu Jincheng said with his eyes closed.

Ling Jing could only nod helplessly. If he really could not find him, this was the only way. However, Academician Cao was publicly recognized as the number one researcher in this field. No one could compare to him.

After entering the suburbs, the road became wider. There were white poplar trees by the side of the road. As there were few people in the suburbs, there were very few zombies and blood on the road. From the looks of it, it was somewhat similar to before the apocalypse. Everyone who had not seen such a peaceful and bloodless scene for a long time had a trace of nostalgia in their eyes. They could not help but look out of the window.

Su Shanshan turned around as well. A breeze blew past her face, causing her hair to fall on Gu Jincheng, who was beside her.

For some reason, Gu Jincheng held a strand of her hair in his hand. As Su Shanshan turned around, the strand of hair slipped away from his hand. This made him feel uneasy. He had a feeling that Su Shanshan would escape from him like this strand of hair. This made his expression darken. He did not know why, but he felt that this woman would leave him. This woman did not love him.

"What's wrong?" Su Shanshan looked at Gu Jincheng, whose face suddenly darkened, and asked curiously.

Gu Jincheng did not speak. He clenched his fists and turned around. He was afraid that if he continued to watch, he would not be able to resist the urge to tie her up and lock her in the room. That way, she would never be able to leave him.

He could not let her know about this dark thought. Otherwise, she would definitely escape in fear. If that happened, he would go crazy.

Su Shanshan was even more confused. She reached out to touch his forehead. "You don't have a fever. Why are you so strange? Are you feeling unwell?" She looked at his legs. Could there be something wrong with his legs again?

With this thought in mind, she reached out to touch his leg.

Gu Jincheng grabbed her wrist and opened his eyes slightly. He lowered his eyes and said, "What do you want to do?"

Su Shanshan suddenly felt a little awkward under his gaze. It was as if she was teasing him.

"I'm just worried about your... leg..." Su Shanshan stammered. Under his gaze, she slowly lowered her head, not daring to look at him again. She felt that his gaze was a little strange now, making her feel a little uneasy, as if she was being stared at by a wild beast.

Gu Jincheng retracted the emotions in his eyes and returned to normal. "I'm fine."

Su Shanshan was relieved to hear his words. She reminded him again, "If you're feeling unwell, you must tell me. I won't tell anyone." She whispered this into Gu Jincheng's ear, afraid that it would hurt his pride as a man.

Gu Jincheng saw that she had misunderstood and did not say anything. He controlled the dark thoughts in his heart. It was good enough now as long as she did not leave...

The truck stopped and a huge octagonal building appeared in front of them. The building took up half of the suburban land. Just from the outside, one could imagine how shocking the amount of food stored inside was.

Su Shanshan was the first to jump out of the truck. Then, it was Gu Jincheng and the people from the Lingjing Southwestern Base who followed closely behind him. Then it was the people from the Leaping Mercenary Group. After they got out of the truck, the others slowly got out. The people who had just been warned were now extremely obedient. No one dared to say anything sarcastic.
