Apocalypse: Living with a Cute Baby

Panda Novel

Cui Chong heard what they said loud and clear. However, he pretended to be confused and asked with a smile, "What are you guys talking about? Why do you look so serious? What happened in the canteen was just a trivial matter."

As he said that, he reached out his hand to Li Hui.

Li Hui quickly avoided it.

"You'll know in a little bit. Follow me."

Cui Chong nodded with a smile.

"The soldier had scolded me for a long time. I'll be more careful in the future! It won't happen again!"

The two of them did not respond. They just made way for Cui Chong to leave.

They finally met up with Lin Nan.

Cui Chong was quite calm. He acted as if he did not do anything wrong.

Lin Nan was in Fang Lin's office. They were talking before the big guy and Li Hui arrived. When they looked up, they saw Cui Chong.

Fang Lin immediately stood up and raised his pistol. He grinned and said, "Is it against the law to kill someone?"

"It's not, but there's no need."

Lin Nan was not as excited as Fang Lin. He stood up and walked to Cui Chong, clearly knowing that Cui Chong had once harmed Li Ran. Lin Nan smiled and said, "Why did you run away when we were looking for my wife? Did you find her?"

Cui Chong smiled back at Lin Nan. He had a sharp intuition. Naturally, he caught wind of Lin Nan's hostility.

"I found her but we ran into a hoard of zombies. So, we split up and escaped. Everything happened so suddenly and I felt guilty. I did not have the courage to face you guys. It really is fate that we get to meet up again like this."

Cui Chong had a dejected expression on his face while blaming herself.

Hearing that, Lin Nan pursed her lips and asked, "What happened after that? Did you see her again?"

"No. She just told me to run the other way as quickly as possible so we would not burden each other."

Cui Chong did not know that Lin Nan already saw everything, that he had pushed Li Ran.

"Are you sure that she was able to get away?"

"Fang Lin saw that Li Ran was surrounded by zombies!"

"Yes, she was very confident. We even had an agreement. She said that she would leave trails to her location so that we can find her later."

Cui Chong thought of a suitable excuse. After all, Li Ran was indeed still alive.

Lin Nan looked at him silently.

Cui Chong had met all kinds of people during the apocalypse, so he knew how to act accordingly. Not everyone could see through him.

Lin Nan had a kind heart and gave him the benefit of the doubt.

However, Fang Lin was different. He was very sharp. His gentle eyes hid his critical personality.

"Well, where are the trails? I'll go with you to look for it," said Lin Nan in a calm voice as he looked at Cui Chong.

"Lin Nan! Are you actually believing everything that he had said? Don't you know better?"

Fang Lin looked at Lin Nan in disbelief. He was so shocked. His expression was as if he had just seen a ghost.

"Know what?"

"You..."

Fang Lin was speechless.

Cui Chong smiled at Fang Lin and said, "If you have any doubts, just ask me and I will clear everything up. In fact, I think that it was very likely that Li Ran survived."

Fang Lin gritted his teeth.

"I don't believe you!"

"Take care of the mess in the canteen."

Lin Nan glanced at Fang Lin and left the room.

Fang Lin was not in the mood to tend to the canteen matter!

He quickly chased after Lin Nan!

Before Fang Lin left, he tasked Li Hui to handle the canteen incident instead.

Li Hui glanced at Cui Chong and said expressionlessly, "Don't worry about the canteen. I will take care of it."

Cui Chong looked at her with a smile.

"I didn't do anything too overboard, did I?"

"Do you think he went overboard?" Li Hui turned to look at the big guy.

The big guy's eyes were blank. "I don't know. Do you think it's overboard?"

Cui Chong was speechless.

He looked at their doubtful eyes and could tell that they do not trust him. It would just be a waste of time to try to dig up any information from them.

"Alright. I'll report the incident to the higher-ups later."

What Cui Chong was trying to imply was that he could communicate directly with the higher-ups. He was trying to one-up the two.

However, he still had something more important to do.

...

Lin Nan had not walked too far from the office when Fang Lin caught up to him.

Fang Lin was very unhappy and dissatisfied.

"You're letting him go? If he runs away, what are you going to do?"

"If I don't, I'll never find Li Ran."

"We have to teach him a lesson! We saw what he did with our own eyes!"

Fang Lin was gritting his teeth!
