Chapter 383: 216 Bait (Second Update)_2

In the apocalypse, resources were scarce, and many people went hungry. Those traveling were especially on edge, as there was no way to rest in the outskirts. The bait the girl tossed out was a temptation too hard to resist for many survivors.

She was clearly much smarter than the other girl, with just a few simple words, she made a reasonable argument that was hard to refuse.

However, the people from the two squads became even more wary. These individuals had first set up roadblocks and now sent these two young girls to invite them, so they clearly had no good intentions!

Bai Ye frowned awkwardly, "You’re really too kind; we don’t deserve such courtesy. Let’s forget about lunch, if you don’t know how to draw a map, just tell us the way, please."

From his tone, he seemed unwilling to go, and the younger girl quickly became anxious, unable to believe Bai Ye had actually refused. Just as she was about to say something, the older girl immediately grabbed her wrist to stop her from speaking and said understandingly, "Our village has its own land and we’ve stocked up quite a bit of food. Plus, we don’t have many people, so food isn’t a problem. As for the route, I can tell you now. As you’ve seen, the road here is broken, so you’ll have to turn back..."

She began to detail the route, speaking accurately yet, accordingly, the directions were complicated with many twists and turns, leaving those listening feeling dizzy.

Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye displayed looks of difficulty and confusion, acting as if they couldn’t understand.

The girl silently took in this scene, then continued, "The road network here is complex, and many newcomers are unfamiliar with it. It’s easy to take the wrong turn, unless you have a map for navigation or frequently ask someone for directions. But as you know, with the increased presence of zombies, it’s too chaotic, so all the living stick together and usually don’t go out. We wouldn’t be here if we weren’t out gathering wild vegetables. Apart from us, you won’t find anyone else around."

Upon hearing this, Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye sneered inwardly. What blatant lies; could they not sense the surveillance around them?

Yet, their faces showed difficulty. Hesitating, Bai Ye said to Fang Yuxin, "How about... we go check out the place they live?"

Fang Yuxin deliberately rubbed her stomach, looking skeptically at the two girls, and said hesitantly, "How do you know they are good people? What if they aren’t?"

Her voice was just loud enough for the two younger girls to hear. The less mature girl immediately got angry, casting an unhappy glance at Fang Yuxin. The older one looked at Bai Ye with an injured face, conveying her grievances with her eyes.

This tactic usually worked well on men, but Bai Ye seemed oblivious and remained silent.

Fang Yuxin had no choice but to remind Bai Ye by transmitting a message through "Spiritual Sense,""The timing is about right, you should agree now." She had deliberately staged this with Bai Ye to dispel the others’ suspicions and to make them let their guard down.

After all, in this apocalypse, everyone was on high alert. If they responded with enthusiasm without any suspicion, the others would be the ones to grow suspicious.

Bai Ye didn’t want to agree initially. He was no fool, how could he not see through the girls’ calculations? If he agreed, wouldn’t he be publicly slapping Fang Yuxin’s face, not giving her due respect?

He didn’t want to lose face for Fang Yuxin over two mysterious women, not even for a show. But with Fang Yuxin urging him, he said reluctantly, "Aren’t you hungry? We don’t have much food left. Let’s check out their place. If we can exchange some food, we won’t have to worry about it for the rest of our journey."

Fang Yuxin looked at Bai Ye humorously; his SUV was actually full of food, convenient for carrying and filling, bought from the safe store. She teased him privately, "What do you plan to do with the food in your car?"

Bai Ye’s expression stiffened, unsure how to respond to Fang Yuxin’s teasing words.

But Fang Yuxin had already started to play along, "Let’s go take a look then," her face full of reluctance.

The two girls glanced unconsciously at her stomach due to Fang Yuxin’s earlier gesture, combined with Bai Ye’s words, they subconsciously thought Fang Yuxin was starving.

The older girl spoke understandingly, "You must be starving, right? Don’t worry, there’s plenty of food where we live, hosting you for a meal is no problem. Shall we head out now? You’ll have to carry us back though."

As she said this, her eyes assessed the three SUVs, thinking about which one she would get into.

At this moment, Chen Qiao suddenly opened the car door, waving eagerly at them, "Ladies, please, take a seat here, our car conveniently has some space!"

Chen Qiao was also handsome, but not even close to Bai Ye’s level. After seeing Bai Ye’s looks, how could those girls be interested in him?

The older girl hesitated, seemingly unsure of which car to take, while the younger was less concerned, pulling her towards Bai Ye, enthusiastically saying, "We’ll go with you."

But Bai Ye flatly rejected, "We don’t have seats left in our car, you can take that one," and pointed towards Chen Qiao’s car. (To be continued.
