The dark age of mankind is coming

Xuanyuan Zunqi's face was stern, and even though his arm was injured, he did not show it at all. He just frowned slightly, and did not even make a groan.

His eyes were firm, his hands tightly gripped the steering wheel, and he continued to drive the vehicle forward.

An Ning looked at Xuanyuan Zunqi worriedly, but due to the urgency of the situation, she did not dare to disturb him easily.

"We're almost there!" Tian Lu stared at the road ahead, and suddenly pointed excitedly into the distance.

Sure enough, a wide and flat road appeared not far away.

Xuanyuan Zunqi stepped on the accelerator to the bottom without hesitation and quickly accelerated towards the main road.

As the vehicle drove off the narrow and rugged road, speed continued to increase, and they finally succeeded in getting rid of the flock of crows.

The black figures gradually disappeared from sight and returned to the dense woods, as if they had never appeared.

Tian Lu and Liu Xiaofang, who had been so nervous that they dared not even breathe, finally felt relieved and breathed a deep sigh of relief. Their bodies also relaxed and they leaned weakly on their seats.

"Stop the car, I'll drive and you take care of your wound." An Ning spoke immediately after escaping from the pursuit of the mutant crows.

"Yeah." Xuanyuan Zunqi did not refuse, but obediently stopped the car by the roadside.

Xuanyuan Zunqi pulled the handbrake, opened the door and got out of the car. An Ning also quickly unbuckled her seat belt and came to Xuanyuan Zunqi's side.

"How serious is the injury?" An Ning asked with concern on her face.

"It's just a minor injury, nothing serious." Xuanyuan Zunqi answered in a relaxed tone, but the beads of sweat that kept appearing on his forehead betrayed that he was enduring great pain at the moment.

An Ning took a look at Xuanyuan Zunqi's exposed arm and saw a long and deep claw mark on his upper arm. It was obviously not just a minor injury as he said.

Fortunately, the level of the mutant crow is not too high, and the virus contained in its claws does not cause much harm to the body of Xuanyuan Zunqi, whose supernatural power level is not low.

Although the wound was not fatal, An Ning still took out some spiritual spring water from the space and carefully cleaned the wound for Xuanyuan Zunqi. Then he took out the first aid kit and skillfully bandaged the wound for Xuanyuan Zunqi.

Xuanyuan Zunqi lowered his head and looked at An Ning. Seeing her focused and serious expression, he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. He said softly, "Thank you..."

An Ning raised her head and met Xuanyuan Zunqi's somewhat seductive gaze. Her expression suddenly became a little unnatural.

She tilted her head, avoiding his sight, pretending not to notice the deepening affection in his eyes, and said in a calm tone: "You got this wound because of everyone. It's my duty to treat you. There's no need to thank me." After that, she lowered her head again and continued with the bandaging work in her hands.

After the bandage was completed, An Ning stood up, reached out to take Xuanyuan Zunqi's seat, and sat in the driver's seat. She adjusted the seat and rearview mirror, then turned to look at Xuanyuan Zunqi, "Let's continue." After she said this, she stepped on the accelerator without hesitation.

The vehicle rushed forward as fast as an arrow, the wheels rubbing against the ground made a harsh sound and raised a cloud of dust.

As the car continued to move forward, under the dim lights on both sides of the road, one could clearly see the scenery rapidly receding.

Trees, telephone poles and other scenery were left behind in an instant, forming a blurred landscape.

The light shines into the car through the windows, bringing a soft warm color to the entire space.

An Ning was driving with full concentration, his hands tightly gripping the steering wheel and his eyes focused.

Xuanyuan Zunqi sat in the passenger seat, quietly looking at An Ning's profile, his heart full of joy.

He looked forward to spending the days ahead with her.

For a moment, neither of them spoke, only the sound of the car running echoed in the air.

The silence was not awkward, but made the atmosphere between them more harmonious and warm.

"Gurgle... Gurgle" a strange noise suddenly came from the back seat, breaking the original silence in the car.

An Ning glanced back through the rearview mirror and saw the Tian couple looking at her and Xuanyuan Zunqi in the passenger seat with embarrassment and a hint of apology on their faces.

"I have some food here. You can eat some first to fill your stomach." An Ning said as she took out two bags of bread and two boxes of milk from her bag and handed them to the Tian couple behind her.

She did overlook their condition when she first saw them, which was obviously malnutrition, commonly known as being starved.

The Tian couple looked at An Ning with gratitude and reached out to take the food, but they did not open all of it at once. Instead, they only opened a bag of bread and took out half of it. The remaining milk and one and a half bags of bread were left aside.

The two of them cut the half loaf of bread in half again and began to eat it in small bites.

Seeing this, An Ning guessed that they wanted to leave the food for the others, so she said, "You guys eat first. I have more food here. I'll give it to them when they wake up."

Hearing An Ning's words, the Tian couple looked at each other, a hint of hesitation flashed in their eyes, but they finally followed An Ning's advice and started eating.

"Why are you hiding in the cellar?" Seeing that An Ning did not keep silent, Xuanyuan Zunqi also spoke.

Tian Lu's face showed a painful expression. He said in a trembling voice: "Zombies... The sudden fog and rain a while ago turned most of the people in the village into zombies. Everyone died... We hid in the cellar and escaped. But... the food was gone, and we thought we couldn't hold on... Fortunately you came!"

Liu Xiaofang was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes. She said in a trembling voice: "Thank you, Living Bodhisattva. Not only did you cure Ling'er, but you also saved the lives of our entire family. Thank you so much!"

"You're welcome. You have helped me before. By the way, no need to call me Bodhisattva, just call me An Ning." An Ning smiled and shook her head. However, seeing the confused expressions of the couple, she did not mention the merit that their family had gained.

"The village is no longer safe. What are your follow-up plans after we leave?" An Ning asked with concern. Although she hoped to recruit this family into her team, she did not want to force others, so she decided to understand their thoughts first.

Tian Lu and Liu Xiaofang looked at each other, worry appeared on their faces and a hint of confusion in their eyes. "We don't know where to go... There are scary zombies everywhere outside..." Their voices were full of helplessness and fear, as if expressing despair about the future.

"If you have nowhere to go, you can come back with us. Although our place is not perfect, it is at least much safer than outside." An Ning looked at them and said softly. There was a hint of firmness in her voice, giving people a sense of security.

Tian Lu and Liu Xiaofang looked at each other, and a glimmer of hope flashed in their eyes.

They knew this might be their only chance of survival.

But at the same time, they were also worried that it would cause trouble for An Ning.

"Of course, you can think about it and then reply to me." An Ning saw their concerns and said with a smile.

She wants them to be able to make their own decisions, rather than being forced into it.

"Thank you, living Bodhisattva. No, Miss An. We are willing to go with you! As long as our family can survive, we can do anything!" Liu Xiaofang and Tian Lu did not hesitate at all. After An Ning finished speaking, they immediately nodded vigorously and answered excitedly.

Their eyes were full of gratitude, as if they saw new hope.

"Okay." An Ning smiled.
