67: Chapter 65: Get So Good Rest 67: Chapter 65: Get So Good Rest Lu Chen was about to get angry, but her words froze him in place, a smile tinging his cold gaze.
The next second, Zhao Changsheng’s words turned his face dark again.
“Momo, n are no good,” Zhao Changsheng clutched her chest, shook her head with a sigh, “Soday you’ll understand my worth.”
Having said that, she turned and walked away with a sultry twist of her waist, her gorgeous face feigning a sad expression.
“Just how heartbroken must this person have been to end up like this?” Su Mo released her hug around Lu Chen, rubbing her arms vigorously, “That’s really scary.”
“Stay away from her in the future,” Lu Chen lowered his head and flicked her forehead.
“You flicked again!” Su Mo pouted, glaring at him.
“Could you two consider my feelings for a second?” Jianxiong, like a stone statue, had been a spectator for who knows how long, getting increasingly fed up.
Su Mo glanced at Jianxiong and almost laughed out loud at the sight of his face, but rembering the wound on her back, she held it in.
Her half-smiling expression was yet another blow to Jianxiong.
“I’m going back to sleep,” Jianxiong grunted through his nose, seemingly aware that he was unfit to be seen, and covered his head as he left.
Li Qian walked in just as he was leaving, his face and balding head making Li Qian’s naturally amiable smile turn rather mischievous.
He walked in and asked, “What happened to him?”
“Nothing, just had a fight with Zhao Changsheng,” Su Mo replied, still unable to suppress a smile at the mory of that ridiculous face.
Lu Chen asked him, “Is everything taken care of?”
“Yeah, I told them all to go back to sleep tonight,” Li Qian nodded.
Lu Chen then briefly discussed with him the arrangents that he and Mo Yan had just confird, as well as the plans for the remaining ordinary prison population and the surviving superpower users.
“Tomorrow, you execute it.”
“So, you’re planning to be a hands-off boss now?”
“No, perhaps he’s just too lazy to talk,” Su Mo shook her head interjecting.
“Alright,” Li Qian touched his nose and nodded in polite agreent; after all, he had been acting as a ssenger with Old Shen Du around.
Before he left, Lu Chen called out to him, offering an olive branch, “How about joining our team?”
“Hm?” This was unexpected for Li Qian, who expressed his surprise, “You want to join?”
“That’s great,” Su Mo was all for it, Li Qian had a weakness, and he was incredibly cunning—a perfect fit for their team.
What he received was Lu Chen’s affirmative response.
“With , there’s no hierarchy, only friends.”
After pondering for a mont, Li Qian’s face beca affable with a smile, “With the War God inviting , how can I refuse to join?”
“Pleasure doing business,” Lu Chen extended his hand toward him.
Li Qian gripped it, both applying a bit of force, signifying their consensus.
Su Mo clapped her hands cheerfully, “Let’s go, this is settled too, I still need to get the people out of the car.”
The pregnant woman had been curled up in the trunk all night; who knew what state she was in now.
“I’ll head down to the cafeteria,” Li Qian had been keeping his back straight since this evening, he greeted the two and then went his separate way.
Su Mo, not missing a beat, rushed back with Lu Chen to their parked car.
Opening the trunk, Zhuang i was still curled up motionless inside.
As fresh air poured into the car, she slowly opened her eyes.
Su Mo helped her out, “Co on, let’s find you a place.”
“Thank you,” Zhuang i expressed her gratitude repeatedly.
Supporting Zhuang i and walking alongside Lu Chen back to their dormitory, she asked the man, “What should we do next?
Just stay here?”
“Once there’s news from the Jiang Residence, we’ll go,” Lu Chen replied, his belief unwavering that the Jiang Family must still be alive.
“Mm-hmm,” Su Mo nodded.
She had no relatives or family to speak of, so following him and taking things one step at a ti was just fine.
Back at the dormitory building, soone was tied up at the entrance.
“Did Li Qian treat him like a dog?” Su Mo approached Hao Hu, whose neck had been collared with a chain attached and tied to a tree.
The man was unconscious, his hand twisted at an unnatural angle and turning a shade of deep purple.
Zhuang i, seeing the horrifying state he was in, kept silent, too scared to speak.
“This guy, he’s got to pay the price for his words,” Su Mo said without an ounce of sympathy, as she supported Zhuang i into the dorm.
Su Mo settled her in a vacant room at the end of the first floor, and as they parted, the pregnant woman kept bowing and thanking her.
Zhao Xiweng, due to her leg injury, sat in her room waiting for news, while Mo Yan had already sent soone to inform her about starting work.
She was incredulous, just like Chu ngyao, how could she, a high and mighty superpower user, one day need to serve everyone by gathering water?
But with Lu Chen’s character, he was definitely one to follow through with his word given the current situation in prison.
If she hadn’t fallen out with Su Mo…
Would her fate be different now?
She heard noises coming from the next room and suddenly looked towards the door.
The two returned to their own room.
Su Mo took off her leg wrap, quickly washed up, then climbed to the upper bunk to lie down.
There were still so bruises on her back that hadn’t faded.
“This gun’s magazine is too small,” she muttered.
“Next ti, I’ll get you a bigger one,” Lu Chen reloaded the handgun, then placed a box of ammunition by her bedside.
“Heh heh,” Su Mo chuckled and took them, storing both the gun and the ammunition in her System Bag.
“Rest well these next two days.” Despite his height, allowing him to reach Su Mo easily even from below, he stretched out his hand and gently massaged her back through the fabric of her clothing.
“Mm,” she felt so prickling pain on her back, but Lu Chen had quite the technique, making her involuntarily ask, “Did you get injured often before?”
The man’s big hand never ceased as he replied, “Mm.”
If she had seen his body before the apocalypse, it would have scared her for sure.
Su Mo fell silent.
The burdens borne by the man before her were perhaps far beyond her imagination.
As she mused, swept up by the comfort of Lu Chen’s massage, she drifted off to heavy sleep.
The man gazed at her sleeping face, his eyes softening as his hand movents beca even gentler.
Li Qian hurried to the cafeteria.
Su Niang had stayed in the compartnt all this while, following his words, and burst into tears of joy upon seeing him.
“Li Qian, you’re still alive, that’s wonderful.”
“I’ve co to get you,” Li Qian patted her shoulder, a rare sincere smile on his face.
“Oh, my good child.”
Su Niang wiped her tears and let him help her up to leave.
Su Mo stayed prone on the bed all night, and when she awoke in the morning, she felt miserable.
In the bathroom, she grimaced and said, “You’ve really suffered.”
Lu Chen saw her co out with a sad look on her face.
“Still hurting?”
“No, it’s better now,” Su Mo quickly shook her head, “Let’s go.”
They hadn’t brought back supplies yesterday, and today Mo Yan led a group out early in the morning.
Chu ngyao had gone to stay in Zhao Xiweng’s room since dawn.
And then Li Qian ca to ask for assistance.
