Chapter 79: The Fleeting Beauty of a Fiery Bloom
The two people ran to the front of Shu and the others, and then bent over, panting heavily.
Clearly, the distance that they had just run had been very difficult for them.
Shu and the others exchanged glances. None of them immediately approached the two women. Shu's hand didn't leave the pistol on his waist.
Whether it was to be wary of these two women, or to be wary of the zombies that might have been attracted by the two voices, staying vigilant was the best option.
However, looking at the two women in front of him, Shu still turned his body slightly to the side, preventing the two from seeing the pistol on his waist.
"Hello, you are..." Mei said when the two had finally calmed down a bit.
"Hello, hello…" The more mature of the two women took a deep breath and spoke. "You must be from Brother Yun's people, right? I didn't expect to find you here…"
Brother Yun?
Who is that?
Shu frowned. Kiana was about to deny it subconsciously.
"We're not..."
"First, answer who you are," Shu walked forward. His gaze stayed on the mature woman for a moment before looking at the young girl with a cap behind her.
The young girl looked to be about the same age as Kiana and the others. She was a little taller than Bronya and a little more developed...
But the girl was always looking down. Shu couldn't see her face.
"Who are we?" The mature woman was clearly stunned for a moment, feeling that something was wrong.
That's not right. Would Brother Yun have people who didn't know them look for them? Or was that the procedure? Even if they had met their target, they still needed to strictly confirm their identity?
"I'm Liu Zhuohua, and this is Brother Yun's younger sister, Yun Mengxi." After thinking for a moment, the mature woman decided to give her identity.
This person seemed quite young. She probably wasn't some evil person.
Shu, who didn't know that he had once again received a good-person card, nodded. The wariness in his heart finally eased a little.
"Sorry, we don't know the Brother Yun you're talking about. We're probably not the people you're looking for," Shu still made sure to clarify their situation.
"What?!" Liu Zhuohua was shocked and couldn't help but take a step back. "You're not from Brother Yun? Then you…"
"We're other... survivors," Shu was going to say that they were survivors from another city, but in the apocalypse, crossing cities was really too unbelievable. It was better to keep it a secret.
Liu Zhuohua closed her mouth, and looked Shu and Kiana and the others up and down again.
They were very clean from head to toe, as if they were out for a stroll. Their mental states were also good, except for Shu's pale face.
To be able to maintain this state in this environment… That's incredible!
If Shu knew what had surprised Liu Zhuohua, he would definitely roll his eyes, then drag her to Otto and point at him.
Look! That's what elegance is!
"Yun Mengxi…"
The conversation between the two sides reached an impasse for a moment. Shu was considering whether to learn more about that "Brother Yun" from Liu Zhuohua, or to see what kind of person the other girl was, when Bronya broke the impasse with a hint of confusion.
"Is that Yun Mengxi, the 16-year-old idol who sang the theme song for Hoomu's Crown?" Bronya stared at the girl with the baseball cap, and said.
With her height, she could see most of the girl's face. Although it was a bit dirty, Bronya was increasingly feeling that she looked familiar.
"Ah! It's Hoomu's Crown! I really like that theme song!" Kiana also said in surprise, even humming a few lines.
Shu: "?"
What's Hoomu's Crown? What was that thing?
But Shu still maintained his expression and turned to look at Liu Zhuohua.
Liu Zhuohua didn't react.
"Hmm… It's me…" the girl with the baseball cap spoke. Her voice was soft but very pleasant. At the same time, the girl took off the baseball cap, revealing a… cute round face.
…A cute, if somewhat dirty, round face.
"Wow! It really is you!" Kiana said in delight.
Yun Mengxi nodded and then said with a soft voice. "Um, you were… singing two wrong notes just now."
Kiana: "..."
"Hehe, don't worry about those details…" Kiana said embarrassedly, scratching her head. "I don't usually sing that much… hehe…"
Looking at Yun Mengxi's face that had been revealed, Shu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
A celebrity? In fact, that kind of identity is quite safe, although it's possible that they're two-faced and something might collapse. But at most it's just that.
Moreover, this was just a little girl and a… someone who looked like her manager. There shouldn't be any threat…
Then, Shu "inadvertently" glanced at Kiana and Bronya, who were actively communicating with Yun Mengxi.
One could open his skull, and the other could shoot his head open with a single bullet. Oh, and Mei could possibly cut him up finely with a knife…
He should still stay vigilant.
"Grumble…" The sound of a stomach grumbling suddenly rang out. The communication came to an abrupt halt. Shu and the others all instinctively looked at Kiana.
"What!" Kiana's face turned red, and she covered her stomach with both hands. "It's not me this time! I'm not hungry yet!"
"It's me..." Yun Mengxi's face was even more flushed than Kiana's. She clasped her hands together in front of her, burying her head low.
"See!" Kiana immediately widened her eyes and glared back at Shu.
"Cough cough." Shu cleared his throat awkwardly, then looked at the cake shop behind him. "Why don't we go inside? There should be some food inside. It's not a good idea to keep standing outside."
Yun Mengxi was stunned for a moment, and then instinctively turned to look at Liu Zhuohua.
Liu Zhuohua sighed. "Then let's go inside."
"Okay. Then I'll go scout ahead with Mei. You guys wait here for a while," Shu nodded and, with his hand on his waist, opened the door and walked inside.
Watching Shu and Mei walk into the cake shop, Yun Mengxi's stomach grumbled again.
"Have you guys not eaten for a long time?" Kiana couldn't help but ask.
Yun Mengxi, her face red, nodded slightly.
"It's been almost two days," Liu Zhuohua said at the right time. "We were also forced to come out to find food..."
"Oh..." Kiana nodded, and couldn't help but feel a sense of sympathy in the way she looked at them.
She knew what it felt like to be hungry. To be hungry for almost two days… that must be really hard!
So she quietly moved closer to Bronya, and whispered in Bronya's ear, "Bronya, let's make a few more cakes for them later…"
Bronya was silent for a moment, "If there are enough ingredients, Bronya doesn't mind. But we still have to ask Mei and Shu."
"Okay, okay!" Kiana agreed.
At this moment, Shu opened the door and walked out, his hand now removed from his waist.
"Come in. There's no danger inside."
