Chapter 69 - Black Peaches (2/2)

“Is it dangerous?”

Gu Jin waved his hand.

“It’s not dangerous. Don’t worry. Nothing will happen.”

Zhao Ying nodded, “Yes.”

Li Ran touched her bag that was tightly wrapped around her waist. She had put the gun in there. If anything happened, she had a form of protection. The thought calmed her down.

She put the car keys into her pocket and closed the door. Then, she made a motion, indicating for the two of them to lead the way.

Everyone was deep in their own thoughts. Li Ran was puzzled while the two of them were worried. They were also afraid that Li Ran might change her mind and refused to help them.

Li Ran was confused.

“Were you filming here?”

“Yes.”

“What happened to your crew? It can’t be just the two of you, right?”

While looking at the surroundings, Li Ran also kept her eyes on the two of them. Her right hand was always placed on her waist bag, just in case.

At the mention of this, Gu Jin sighed.

“We were divided into four groups. There was not enough food, so each group had to go out and scavenge for supplies periodically. Once the group returned, the haul would be shared with everyone.”

“But the group who set out never came back.”
