97 Variant
The middle-aged man wanted to ask more questions, but Tang Susu had already left with her family in disappointment.
Only those with a guilty conscience would stay and let them interrogate them and try to explain what happened convincingly.
People who were confident and in the right were not afraid of their suspicion at all. Naturally, they would leave when they said so.
It had to be said that their departure had indeed made the middle-aged man doubtful.
“Don’t tell me it has nothing to do with them?”
“Regardless of whether they’re connected to this or not, we have to be careful of them. I have a feeling that we’ll meet them again.”
“Yes, Ms. Xiang!”
The family went to their car. Seeing that they didn’t chase after them, they knew that they got out of it without much problem.
It wasn’t that they were afraid of those people, but they rather avoided trouble instead of starting them.
“Let’s go. It’s getting late. Let’s try to get back before dark.”
There were no more street lights. If they went back too late, the whole world would fall into darkness and the road would become too perilous and hard to navigate.
Tang Susu was about to start the car when her eldest brother pushed her. “Go and eat something. Don’t get hungry.”
“I want some too, I want some too!” Tang Mingchu turned around and leaned against the seat, wanting to have two snacks.
After successfully completing the mission, everyone felt relaxed and hungry. If they had some good food at this time, it would be so satisfying!
All kinds of snacks flashed through Tang Susu’s mind, such as the Guokui flatbreads, bean cakes, fried meats, grilled cold noodles, Sanxian bean-curd skins, Vietnamese spring rolls, red bean chestnut braised fish …
When they bought the food, they intentionally included a lot of local specialties. After all, it would be hard to find them after the apocalypse.
There were enough varieties for her to choose from now and there had stocked up a lot for each type. Enough for her to get sick of them, eventually.
However, just as she was about to take out all the food to share with her family, the system didn’t respond for a long time.
The smile on Tang Susu’s face froze.
“I’m going to blow it up …” Tang Mingchu had just thought about what he wanted to eat when his sister glared at him.
“What’s wrong?”
Tang Susu made a gesture of zipping her mouth.
He understood.
Tang Susu smiled and looked at the man beside her.
Fortunately, it didn’t happen when she was collecting the drinking water. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to use the system and she didn’t know if she would lose control and strangle him to death.
Tang Mingchu’s plans of eating the delicious food had all gone up in flames and he said angrily, “Hey! Stop pretending if you’re already awake! What did you want to do to my sister before this?!”
“He’s awake?” Tang Mingzhou was shocked and immediately wanted to stop the car.
Tang Susu glanced at the man’s chest, which didn’t heave, and a thought suddenly formed in her mind. “He’s fine. He’s probably still asleep.”
“Asleep?” The two men were so angry that they laughed. “How carefree could he get? He kidnapped you and he still dares to sleep in our car?”
Tang Susu revealed an evil smile. “How about throwing him out?”
She wanted to test him, but the man didn’t even move his eyebrows, let alone wake up.
This person didn’t look like someone who would force himself to pretend to be asleep, but Tang Susu still leaned over.
“Susu!” The two brothers were alert.
Tang Susu was also a little nervous. She had wanted to get close to this man to find out what was going on last time. Wasn’t this a good opportunity?
Suddenly, she placed her palm on his chest.
His firm and powerful chest muscles almost burned her through the thin layer of shirt fabric.
Tang Susu felt a little uncomfortable, but she still pressed down with a little more force.
Breathing… Weak, but not non-existent.
Heartbeat… Calm, and nothing was wrong.
Even his body temperature, which had been bone-piercingly cold not long ago, had returned to a slightly warmer degree.
Seeing him like this, Tang Mingchu made a guess. “Is this person sick? Narcolepsy?”
“There’s another possibility,” Tang Susu said softly.
“What?”
A Variant.
It was a pity that she didn’t finish the game, so she didn’t know who would appear later. She didn’t know if they had good or bad intentions.
Tang Susu sized up the man. The system wanted her to trust this person?
Was that even possible?
