Chapter 40 Enemies from a Previous Life
A tall woman stepped out of the crowd, her cherry-like lips painted with peach-colored lip gloss, her makeup so exquisite it seemed as if she were still living before the apocalypse.
"Hey Ma Zi, what are you doing here? The squad needs to assemble. We've been looking for you for ages. Come back with me now."
The woman sounded impatient and reached out to pull away Lu An's hand that was gripping the man.
"Ouch, be gentle, be gentle." Lu An tightened his grip, almost crushing the skinny man's wrist. "Sister Wen, this man grabbed me for no reason and tried to hit me. You have to stand up for me."
"An'an, be careful, she has superpowers."
The moment Yu Miaomiao saw the woman's face, many details came to mind.
In her previous life, Liu Xuewen, the woman in front of you, was the team's main damage dealer. Her special ability was fire-based, and as an offensive special ability, she held a core position in the team.
When Liu Xuewen pushed her off the cliff, a fleeting ruthlessness flashed across her usually delicate and charming face. At first, Yu Miaomiao couldn't understand why she wanted to harm her.
Aside from missions, Yu Miaomiao usually keeps to herself and doesn't interact closely with her teammates. She has absolutely no connection with Liu Xuewen, who is like a goddess in the team and always looks down on junior members like her.
She kept replaying Liu Xuewen's words in her mind before she died: "If you die, no one will be able to take him from me..."
Images of Liu Xuewen standing beside Chu Bai flashed through her mind, and when she pieced them together, she truly felt that her death was utterly innocent.
At this moment, neither Lu An nor Liu Xuewen was willing to back down. "Why are you preventing people from leaving?"
"I apologized to my sister and promised that I would never do such despicable and vile things again."
"Ouch, ouch... It hurts so much! I won't do it again, I'll never do it again."
Ma Zi's wrist, gripped by Lu An, felt like it was about to explode. His hand had turned completely purplish-blue from the pressure. He was filled with regret, realizing how incredibly audacious he had been.
"What are you apologizing for? Do you have any evidence? Let me tell you, the army is right here, and you're harming ordinary survivors without cause. Don't be so arrogant."
Liu Xuewen's arrogant gaze swept over the two of them, and she curled her lip in disdain.
She had just seen Chu Bai at the military base, reporting to his superior. She was worried about not having a chance to approach him when the opportunity presented itself.
"He already said he wouldn't dare, so what evidence do you need?"
Yu Miaomiao naturally couldn't let her sisters fight alone.
Sesame Sauce, who had been standing quietly at Lu An's feet, was starting to get restless. "How dare you bully my master! I'll bite you!" "Woof... Awooo!"
"Ugh...where did this dirty dog come from? It's full of germs, stay away from me."
Liu Xuewen's expression changed drastically; her delicate face contorted into a grimace, her eyes filled with disgust and loathing.
"Woof!!" You're the one with bacteria, your whole family is bacteria! I'm a sweet little dog, I've had my deworming and vaccinations done every single time, okay?
"This dog... is really fat."
Everyone's attention was drawn to the sesame sauce. Under the natural disaster, people were starving, but this dog was round and cute, looking very delicious. Yu Miaomiao caught a few greedy glances and responded with a fierce warning look.
"People are starving, and you're keeping a dog? Look at this kind of person."
Liu Xuewen seized the opportunity to incite public outrage.
"Let's stick to the facts. Why are you bringing dogs into this? Dogs eat dog food, do you eat it too? If I feed you dog food every day, I'll fatten you up too."
Lu An was furious. She had arrested the man because of his lewd behavior, but now he was trying to evade the issue. She was angry and tightened her grip. With a "crack," the man screamed in agony as Lu An broke his wrist.
"Make way, make way, let's go together." He Liang finally squeezed out of the crowd, a grilled sausage in his mouth and seven or eight bags in his hands.
"Did you go to buy some goods?"
"Hahaha, yes, there are so many good things here."
He Liang wandered around various street stalls and discovered many delicious foods, all of which he had carefully selected and exchanged for relief rice. For example, the mutated wild pheasant sausage was no worse than the pork sausage, which effectively improved his nutritional balance.
"What are you doing here? Let's go. Don't argue with fools."
He Liang pushed the two of them to leave. Although Lu An and Yu Miaomiao were unwilling, they did not want to waste any more time.
"Who gave you permission to leave? This isn't over yet, we've already broken that pockmarked man's hand."
Liu Xuewen wouldn't let it go, and directly launched a fireball at Yu Miaomiao's back...
Yu Miaomiao had been training for many years, so her reaction was naturally not slow. However, she did not have any special abilities. Just as she was about to hide in the space, Lu An released a ball of water, and warm water vapor instantly filled the air.
The dog leaped and flipped over, baring its fangs at Liu Xuewen and the others, ready to pounce and bite Liu Xuewen's neck off in the next second.
He Liang also spread out his shadow, preparing to pull Yu Miaomiao and Lu An into it. They couldn't fight, but they could hide.
"What are you doing? Don't you know that causing trouble is not allowed here? Everyone disperse, disperse, disperse!" The station manager arrived late and chased away the onlookers.
It seemed they were deliberately observing from a distance. If the situation wasn't serious, they didn't want to deal with Liu Xuewen. They'd heard she had some connection with a military officer at a base, and they didn't want to get into trouble.
"You can all leave now. If you have anything to say, why don't you come with me to the management office to clarify things?"
The manager appeared serious, but in reality, he was supporting Liu Xuewen and constantly comforting her, ignoring the others. Liu Xuewen was furious, but she couldn't disrespect the manager, so the others carried the man who had fainted from the pain and followed him away.
"An'an, let's go back too. We'll continue our journey this afternoon and won't stay here any longer."
Yu Miaomiao was plotting how to quietly get rid of Liu Xuewen; she didn't want anything to go wrong.
In her previous life, they had little interaction, and she didn't think much of Liu Xuewen, assuming that jealousy had blinded her and made her resort to any means necessary. But now, she saw that this woman was the epitome of a vicious woman, without any attempt to hide it.
However, it was not appropriate to make a move in front of so many people. She had a feeling that Liu Xuewen would not let her and Lu An off so easily and would make a move again after they left the post station. So she directly revealed her afternoon itinerary in front of Liu Xuewen, with the aim of luring her into a trap.
Once they left the post station, amidst the natural disaster, no one cared whether they lived or died.
There are countless ways a person can disappear without a trace during a natural disaster or apocalypse.
