She indeed had ulterior motives. Pretending to be too tired to run and falling behind was on purpose. Delaying the search for so long just now was also intentional, and even that shout downstairs at the beginning was to deliberately alert that person.
Bai Xiaoyun hated Zhou Mang, Qian Mao, and everyone associated with them.
She was glad that Bao Hui was dead. Since that person could kill Zhou Mang's younger brother, it showed they were capable. She had a feud with Zhou Mang now and of course didn't want them to succeed. Moreover, if that person could kill Zhou Mang during the fight, that would be the best outcome.
At this moment, Lin Qingqing was leaning against a car, gasping for breath.
Her body was still too weak. After running for just a short while, her legs and feet had gone weak.
Choosing to enter the basement floor from here earlier was a deliberate decision. The deep and winding paths outside could serve as excellent distractions.
Moreover, the parking lots in the community were interconnected. From here, she could reach any residential building, which was the most ideal hiding place she could think of at the moment.
Also, considering that she might need transportation to leave, she had always carried the car keys with her. As long as she wanted to, she could drive out of the community at any time.
This was her last resort.
"What a pity about those supplies!"
Lin Qingqing frowned regretfully. For the convenience of running away, she had only brought three days' worth of food. She had originally planned to hide for a while and then go back, but now it seemed there was no chance. Zhou Mang and those people would definitely not let it go, and she didn't dare to show her face casually.
After taking a short rest, Lin Qingqing was about to get up and look for her car first. But as soon as she peeked out, she saw the figures of Zhou Mang and the others appear in the doorway of the stairwell.
Why are there so many of them? Lin Qingqing was startled and quickly shrank back, lowering her breathing.
This is impossible! How did they find this place so quickly?
And according to normal logic, they should have been separated. They shouldn't all be gathering in the parking lot.Unless... these people knew she was here!
Lin Qingqing's heart sank. She had a hunch that she might really be right, but how did they so quickly determine that she was in the parking lot?
She couldn't figure it out, but her intuition told her this was very important.
However, this wasn't the time to think about this problem. Compared to the ground, the parking lot was much easier to search. Maybe she would be found in no time.
Using the cover of the car, Lin Qingqing quickly took a look at Zhou Mang and his group.
Among the eleven men, there was also a weak - looking woman being carried?
Why is there a woman? Could she have been captured?
Lin Qingqing couldn't help but take a few more glances at her through the car window. Unexpectedly, the next moment, the woman suddenly turned her head and looked over.
Lin Qingqing quickly shifted her gaze, thinking: This woman is really perceptive!
"Forget it. I can't even save myself. Why bother about the woman!" Lin Qingqing gave up the idea of rescuing her after just a moment of thought.
At this time, Zhou Mang and the others had come out of the stairwell and were looking around. While they hadn't dispersed yet, Lin Qingqing was ready to leave quickly.
She rolled her eyes, then stretched out her right hand, and an ice lump appeared in her palm.Carefully, she circled to the other end of the car, avoiding the sight of Zhou Mang and the others. Lin Qingqing then hurled the fist - sized ice lump in her hand towards the depths of the parking lot with all her might.
The hard ice lump traced an arc and finally "banged" as it smashed into a car.
Subsequently, the "wail - wail" of the car alarm suddenly went off, instantly drawing the attention of Zhou Mang and the others. Besides, even a few scattered zombies were attracted over.
The ear - piercing warning sound in the空旷的 parking lot echoed throughout the space, easily masking the slight noise of Lin Qingqing's escape.
After creating the distraction, Lin Qingqing immediately moved backwards. She was very cautious in her movements, and with a large number of cars for cover, Zhou Mang and the others didn't notice her right away.Unfortunately, Zhou Mang was not easily deceived. Even in a fit of rage, he didn't completely lose his rationality. After pausing for just a moment at the beginning, he reacted immediately the next second.
Pointing at four of his men behind him, he told them to split up and search in the opposite direction of the sound. Zhou Mang himself led the remaining people towards the direction where the alarm sound came from.
Lin Qingqing didn't know that she had been lucky to act decisively just now, thus not giving Bai Xiaoyun the chance to use her superpower.
Seeing Zhou Mang's arrangements, she couldn't help but curse in a low voice, "Crafty old fox."
Fearing being discovered by these four people, Lin Qingqing had to choose to stay put after moving a certain distance.
The four lackeys who were sent out searched separately, and one of them happened to walk towards the place where she was hiding.
Lin Qingqing knew she couldn't wait any longer. Although there were a few zombies on Zhou Mang's side, they wouldn't hold them up for too long. She had to leave immediately.
Thinking of this, Lin Qingqing used the same trick again. With a raise of her hand, two small ice balls shot out simultaneously in two different directions.
Sure enough, two people in the distance exchanged a glance and headed towards the direction of the sound.
Although this action was cautious, it still caught the attention of the person who had been closest to her before. He walked over suspiciously.
Lin Qingqing crouched on the ground, tossed the ice lump in her hand, which was half the size of a basketball, then turned around, bent down, and used the car as cover to sneak up behind the man. She swung her arm with all her might.
With a dull "bang", the man fell to the ground before he could make a sound.
"Xiao Zhang?"
The sound of the body hitting the ground caught the attention of the remaining person. He turned his head and immediately saw a pair of legs sticking out from behind the wheel.
This time, he immediately realized what was going on and turned around, shouting towards the depths of the parking lot:
"Over here! The person is here!"Lin Qingqing knew she couldn't hide any longer. She cursed under her breath, then dropped the blood - stained ice lump, grabbed her backpack, and took off running.
The man who had discovered her earlier, after shouting for his companions, immediately turned around and gave chase.
The distance between them was only about twenty - odd meters. Lin Qingqing knew she definitely couldn't outrun the other person.
Fortunately, however, she was not far from her own car.
Lin Qingqing fumbled for the keys as she ran. In the distance, the car lights flashed. She quickly quickened her pace, rushed forward, opened the car door, and got in.
Inserting the key and stepping on the gas pedal was a seamless motion.
Ever since her superpower awakened, she had never let herself down at critical moments. No matter what the situation, her mind was clear - headed and her fingers steady.
By the time the car started and moved out of the parking space, the man behind had caught up.
He tried to reach out and stop the car, but Lin Qingqing wouldn't give him the chance.
Biting her lips hard, not daring to hesitate any longer, Lin Qingqing stomped on the gas pedal and the car charged straight at the man blocking her.
No matter how brave a person was, when faced with an oncoming car, they would instinctively dodge.
In the split - second when he dodged, the white sedan narrowly brushed past the man's body.
"Damn it, this c6razy woman!"The man, who had been scared into a cold sweat, angrily shook his fist at the car's retreating figure.
Unfortunately, he was only a water - type superpower user, and the only one who could catch up with others quickly, Xiao Zhang, was precisely the unlucky one who had been knocked out.
From the moment they learned Lin Qingqing's location until she got into the car, it was just a matter of a few short seconds. Even though Zhou Mang and the others had rushed over at the fastest speed to intercept her, they still failed.
"Argh!"
Zhou Mang roared. His face was ferocious as he watched Lin Qingqing drive past his eyes. With a "bang", she crashed through the guardrail at the entrance without hesitation and drove out of the community.
So close! It was so close...
"You damned slut, I'll kill you one day, @##…"
At this moment, no amount of vicious words could vent the hatred in Zhou Mang's heart. He clenched his fists so tightly that his eyes were terrifyingly red. Wisps of flames unconsciously emerged from his body and scattered everywhere.
Seeing Zhou Mang in such a frenzied state, the others subconsciously backed away, being extremely cautious, for fear of being affected.
The most stunned one was Bai Xiaoyun. She never expected that Lin Qingqing would actually dare to drive out of the community alone.
"There are so many zombies outside. How could she... "
When she realized this, Bai Xiaoyun knew she was doomed. With Zhou Mang's overbearing and rabid - dog - like temper, he would surely take his anger out on her.
Moreover, it wasn't just her. Qian Mao, Xiao Zhang, Xiao Wang - as long as Zhou Mang thought they had hindered him from chasing the murderer, he wouldn't spare any of them.
Bai Xiaoyun instinctively looked at Qian Mao beside her. As expected, Qian Mao had also realized this, and his face at this moment was no better than Bai Xiaoyun's.
