Chapter 31: Get her for me
They ate in silence. The warmth of the meal gave them a little comfort. The world outside was falling apart. But for now, inside the dim warehouse, it almost felt normal.
But peace never lasted long in the apocalypse.
A loud bang came from the front of the warehouse. A series of sharp footsteps followed.
Liora and Zhou Yinuo froze. Their hearts beat fast and hard.
Then they heard low whistles. Mocking laughter followed.
"Well well. What do we have here?" A rough voice spoke in a raspy tone.
Zhou Yinuo stiffened. She held her cup of noodles tightly. She looked at Liora with a wary gaze.
"Two little rabbits hiding all cozy," another voice sneered. "And look at all these supplies. You girls did not think about sharing with your big brothers, huh?"
Liora held her chopsticks tightly. But in a few seconds, her face became calm. She kept eating her noodles.
"Should we pretend we are not here?" Zhou Yinuo whispered. Her voice was tense.
Liora answered in a calm tone. "Too late for that."
