Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 599: Someone Stole the Car

Gu Yan’s face turned pale as well.

The main point was, she had never seen such an ugly thing before!

No, she had.

Because Gu Yan herself was a major in Humanities, she had intensively studied the history of Ancient Earth; of course, she knew that the creature before her eyes resembled the type of zombies from the late period of Ancient Earth.

Abandoned city, zombies, that was the theme this time.

Gu Yan grabbed Vivian, who was about to turn tail and run, and then observed for a moment. She discovered the zombie’s movements were very slow, as if it was taking each step in slow motion.

For instance, the zombie was only three or four meters away from them, and it would take several minutes for it to reach them and bite, assuming they stood still and did nothing.

Junior zombies!

Junior zombies have the lowest perception of the living, are sluggish in their movements, especially during the daytime, when the sun is shining.

Vivian said eagerly, "Xiaoyan, we really need to run now!"

"No need, look, Vivian, this is a junior zombie. Their movements are very slow, and it’s daylight now. Here’s what we’ll do: I’ll draw it away, and you take the chance to get in the car to see if it starts and if there’s any fuel."

Although this kind of car had long been obsolete, as students of history, it was still very simple for them to operate such an old vehicle.

Turning to look, Vivian indeed saw the junior zombie moved exceptionally slowly, and although it looked fierce, the movement seemed to be in slow motion.

Vivian seemed not so scared anymore and decisively said, "Xiaoyan, I can run fast, let me draw its attention while you check if the car can be started."

"Alright."

Gu Yan didn’t argue with Vivian about this. When the zombie staggered away from the driver’s position, she ran over.

The car seat was very dirty, but that wasn’t a problem. Most importantly, Gu Yan discovered the fuel gauge was on empty.

She shouted to Vivian, "This car won’t work! Let’s switch to another one!"

"Okay!"

There were several cars stopped around, some were wrecked from collisions and beyond repair, some had zombies on them.

They finally found a drivable car on their fifth attempt, and after Gu Yan and her team used a distraction to draw the zombies away from the car, they successfully got in.

Gu Yan started the car, and the sound of the engine attracted other zombies over.

She shouted to Vivian, "Vivian, get in the car, quick!"

"Okay!"

Vivian ran towards the car quickly, but just as she was about to jump into the passenger seat, she suddenly stopped.

"Xiaoyan, watch out!"

A dagger was already pressed against Gu Yan’s neck, and the assailant, who was lying by the car window, said leisurely, "Oh, it’s Junior Sister Gu. There aren’t many working cars around here. Could you perhaps let us have this one?"

The male student was unfamiliar, but by his appearance, he didn’t seem to be from the Military Academy; in any case, Gu Yan didn’t recognize him.

Gu Yan replied calmly, "This car can fit several people. We’re headed to the abandoned city, and I’m sure your destination is the abandoned city too, right? We can share the car. Our mission surely doesn’t conflict with yours."

The College of Humanities was the weakest overall among all the academies, since they were more or less civil officials. So, Gu Yan guessed that the instructors wouldn’t be so cruel as to set missions for other academies that conflicted with those of the College of Humanities.

As for other academies, that was unclear.

Upon hearing this, the boy laughed, "But we have eight people, so there’s really no room in this car for you and your friend anymore."

Indeed, this car could actually hold 5-6 people, 8 was already a squeeze, and 10 was simply impossible.

The group burst into laughter, that male student didn’t really want to harm Gu Yan, he withdrew his dagger, and said with a smile, "You can forget about your classmate, but, Gu Yan, I can take you with me and have my companions lie on the roof."

The other seven male students roared with laughter, and one even said, "You could hold Gu Yan in your arms."

But there was another male student who didn’t join in the childish joking, and said instead, "Gu Yan, the tasks of your department are simple. Just give us the car, we’re really in a hurry."

Gu Yan turned her head and memorized the faces of the few, over there, Vivian was also being stopped, and she said anxiously, "How can you be like this!"

One of the boys said, "Sorry, we want the grades, we have to do it this way, besides, we didn’t hurt you!"

"Exactly, just give us the car already."

So humiliated!

However, Gu Yan also knew that she and Vivian were no match for these people, and if this stand-off continued, it might delay them even more.

But she remembered this grudge!

Just as Gu Yan was preparing to get out of the car and look for another with Vivian, suddenly, a scream came from outside!

"Ah! Which academy are you from? Why are you attacking all of a sudden?"

"No, they’re Insectoids!"

In the blink of an eye, Gu Yan watched, dumbfounded, as the several male students were beaten down and lay on the ground groaning.

Bai Li sauntered over, his expression filled with concern, "Xiaoyan, are you alright?"

"I’m fine!" Gu Yan’s spirits lifted, and she hurriedly opened the car door—if not for the crowd, she would have wanted to hug Brother Little Mushroom!

The boys who were stopping Vivian were also knocked down by Ji Mu, who elegantly said to the panicked Vivian, "Miss Rabbit, are you okay?"

Vivian nodded blankly.

The male student who initially threatened Gu Yan with the dagger said discontentedly, "You damned Insectoids!"

Ji Mu arrogantly replied, "We’re damned? Aren’t you, who bully girls, even more deserving of death? Hmph╭(╯^╰)╮, I really look down on you Beastmen!"

Gu Yan looked at the time and said, "Are you two together? Quick, get in the car and we’ll talk."

Bai Li nodded in agreement.

Then he led Gu Yan to sit in the backseat, and had Ji Mu drive.

Hearing this, Ji Mu tucked in his butterfly wings and took the driver’s seat. It was only after the car started moving that he gave a slight start.

Damn! Why did I listen to him?

Gu Yan said, "Our task is to survive 24 hours in the abandoned city, Bai Li, what about you?"

"Our task is a bit complicated; we need to investigate the real cause of an accident in the city center."

"I thought as much. Luckily, we’re both headed to the abandoned city, it’s on the way for the time being."

Bai Li’s gaze softened as it swept over Gu Yan, finding that she hadn’t been hurt, he was slightly reassured.

Meanwhile, Ji Mu was driving and chattering with Vivian who was sitting in the passenger seat.

"Miss Rabbit, you weren’t scared just now, were you? Oh right, those guys just now were from the Architectural Technology Academy."
