After the Cannon Fodder Awakened, She Married the Female Lead! [Quick Transmigration] 84p1

Chapter 84 p1

The next day, Wen Runan didn’t open her eyes until the sun was high in the sky. Her body was both comfortable and sore, a mix of pain and pleasure.

Li Mo, who was sleeping beside her, was not much better off. Although her ability was a cheat, she couldn’t stand Wen Runan’s increased endurance. On the way, she had even acted spoiled and asked for the initiative.

Li Mo was bewitched by the gentle embrace. Without hearing what Wen Runan had said, she had agreed first.

As everyone knows, Li Mo had always attached great importance to the promises she had made to Wen Runan. It was impossible for her to go back on her word on the spot, so there were some things she had to accept.

“Should we get up?” Wen Runan said lazily. “Li Mo, my back is sore, my legs are sore, and my arms are also sore. Quick, help me massage them—”

“Then I’m also sore. Can you help me massage them too?” Li Mo turned over, reached out, and pushed the side-lying Wen Runan flat, using her ability to massage her with multiple hands.

“Phew—” Wen Runan let out a long sigh of relief. This ability was still quite useful. No matter from which aspect, it was not bad.

The two of them dawdled in bed and did not get up. It was only in the afternoon that they barely climbed up and appeared in front of the other team members with sleepy eyes.

“Captain Wen, Captain Li! Good news! The base has issued an announcement! It says that Captain Li’s actions were entirely in self-defense, and it publicly criticized the research institute’s actions!” Guard No. 1 was very happy. “Many people have followed suit and pointed out the research institute, saying that they had tricked ordinary people into experiments, and in the end, none of them were released. It seems that something has happened to all of them.”

“Now, the public’s complaints against the research institute are very heavy, forcing the research institute to also issue an announcement, explaining that the ordinary people who participated in the experiments were all terminally ill and had voluntarily participated in the research. They were also given additional compensation afterwards.”

Li Mo raised an eyebrow. This punishment was still neither light nor heavy for the research institute. If they had investigated seriously, they would definitely have found that the research institute had already made a move on many ability users.

“By the way, the people from the base also came this morning. It seems that they wanted to ask Captain Li to go over,” Sister Liu added from the side. “And then they left this when they were leaving.”

Wen Runan took the business card from Sister Liu’s hand. Seeing the name of the logistics headquarters printed on it, she soon guessed the other party’s intention.

The promised clarification had arrived. This was to exploit Li Mo’s labor.

“Go tomorrow?” Wen Runan casually stuffed the business card into Li Mo’s hand. “I still want to rest today. I want you to accompany me.”

“Mm, let’s go tomorrow. It won’t be long,” Li Mo glanced at the business card and found that the name printed on it was also Gu, called Gu Cheng.

**

Gu Cheng was actually looking for Li Mo alone, but he had long heard that the two captains of the Zero Casualty Team had a very good relationship and basically ate and lived together, so he was not surprised at all when he saw Wen Runan appear.

“Good morning, both of you,” Gu Cheng smiled and extended his hand to Wen Runan.

“Good morning,” Li Mo extended her hand and gave Gu Cheng a light shake first. “Is there anything you need from me, Minister Gu?”

Gu Cheng did not waste any words. “We received a distress message via radio at midnight yesterday. About three hundred kilometers away from us, there is a small base that was spontaneously formed by civilians. The base is short of supplies, and they hope we can bring some over.”

“How many supplies do we need to transport?” Li Mo asked.

“After a meeting and discussion, we currently plan to transport about ten tons of supplies. Most of them are food, and there are also a small number of daily necessities and medicine,” Gu Cheng said, hesitating for a moment. “Instead of saying that we are sending them supplies, it is better to say that we are sending them some reserve food for the road, so that they can move to the No. 3 base.”

“The area of that base is not large, but there are many people in it. There are about six hundred people in total,” Gu Cheng said. “Our current plan is for you to take a batch of supplies over first, Captain Li. Then, our rescue team will set off with about thirty jeeps and bring the people back.”

“Alright. Where are the supplies? We’ll set off in a bit,” Li Mo replied.

Gu Cheng hesitated for a moment. “Are you going to send the supplies with Captain Li, Captain Wen?”

Wen Runan nodded. “Yes. Is there a problem?”

“It’s like this. The rescue team that is planned to be sent out this time has more than a hundred people, and about half of them are ability users,” Gu Cheng said, a dark glint flashing in his eyes. “Looking around, only you have the experience and strength to lead this team in the base, Captain Wen. I wonder if you are willing to become the commander-in-chief of the rescue team, Captain Wen?”

Wen Runan’s brows rose slightly. “Is this the general’s intention?”

Gu Cheng did not answer this question directly. “This is also the result of our discussion. We want to save as many people as possible, which can be considered to set a good example.”

At present, besides the five official large bases, there are also thousands of private small bases. If they want to end the apocalypse, cleaning up the zombies is one thing, and the second is to gather all these bases together to facilitate the establishment of a new order.

Wen Runan looked at Li Mo with some hesitation. If she wasn’t with her, the other party would have to set off alone.

“I can do it alone. The supplies are bound to my ability,” Li Mo said. Ten tons of supplies was a layer of protection for her. If something happened to her, the supplies would be as good as gone.

She believed that the people with brains in the base would not choose to make a move on her at this time.

“Alright. You go first. I’ll lead the team and follow you later,” Wen Runan’s thoughts were similar. The base had just strongly supported Li Mo. There was no reason for them to turn against her so quickly.

Just like that, Li Mo took away ten tons of supplies in front of Gu Cheng, refused the two assistants that the other party had arranged for her, and drove away alone.

The difference between acting alone and acting in a group was still very large. Li Mo, who was alone, did not have to worry about zombies, nor did she need to look for supplies on the road. There was only one thing she needed to do, and that was to maintain a high speed of travel, so her speed was particularly fast.

Just as Li Mo’s speed was about to soar to eighty miles per hour, a broken bridge appeared on the necessary path, blocking Li Mo’s forward steps.

Screech— The wheels braked urgently. Li Mo almost slammed on the brakes. The wheels and the ground produced a huge friction, and with a smell of burning, a new car mark appeared on the road.

“033, what’s with the broken bridge? Isn’t this the optimal route you calculated?” Li Mo got out of the car, walked to the edge of the broken bridge, and observed the cross-section.

“Master, this data was formed when you set off this morning. At that time, according to the satellite map, this bridge should still be intact,” 033 quickly gave an answer.

Li Mo touched the cross-section, and then visually measured the distance between the two sides of the broken bridge. It looked to be only five or six meters. If she put away her car, she should be able to jump over it very easily.

“If we want to go around this place, how much will the total journey be increased by?” Li Mo asked.

“If we take a detour, the total journey will be increased by eighty kilometers. We will need to take about thirty kilometers of mountain roads, and the overall speed will be much lower.”

An extra eighty kilometers? Was this a coincidence? Or was someone targeting her?

No, she had only set off for four hours, and she had been driving very fast all the way. Even if someone wanted to deal with her, it was impossible for them to be faster than her and destroy the bridge in advance.

In the end, Li Mo still used her space to put away the car, and then with a leap, she easily jumped over the broken bridge, took out the car again, and began to hurry on her way.

By the time the sun had set, Li Mo was about thirty kilometers away from her destination. After a simple meal of two packs of cooked food, Li Mo set off again. At about seven-thirty at night, she stopped at the so-called small base.

This was a base that had been transformed from a villa area. The original iron fence had been sealed with red bricks and raised to a three-meter-high wall, which was enough to block ordinary zombies outside the door.

Just as Li Mo had stopped her car, two people ran over, shouting excitedly as they ran, “Are you from the No. 3 base? Are you here to save us?”

“I’m from the No. 3 base. You two calm down,” seeing the two big men rush towards her like hungry tigers pouncing on their prey, Li Mo subconsciously dodged to the side.

The two of them tried their best to look back. Seeing no light at all, a look of worry appeared on their faces. “Are you the Captain Li that Minister Gu mentioned? Did you come alone?”

“Hmm? Didn’t Gu Cheng tell you?” Li Mo raised an eyebrow. “I’m a space ability user.”

“So that’s how it is! Captain Li, please come in!” The two of them suddenly realized, and the worry on their faces was swept away. They surrounded Li Mo very enthusiastically from the left and right.

“You’ve come so quickly and so timely, Captain Li. We only have enough supplies to last for three days. If you hadn’t come, our base would have been in chaos,” the person on the left said, even starting to wipe his tears in a rather exaggerated manner.

Li Mo tugged at the corner of her mouth, a little unaccustomed to the two’s proximity. “Where is your warehouse? Quick, take me there.”

“Alright, alright. This way, Captain Li. Our warehouse is just inside!” The person on the right’s emotions were relatively stable, but he couldn’t help but have red eyes. “I’m the temporary person in charge of the base. you can just call me Old Wang.”

To appease the people, Li Mo was forced to give up driving. Under the watchful eyes of a large group of people, she walked for a full twenty minutes before she reached the warehouse.

It was unclear whether it was to build up momentum or because the residents here were too enthusiastic. Not only did Li Mo receive everyone’s expectant and eager gazes along the way, but there were also many cars following beside her, spontaneously turning on their headlights to illuminate the road ahead.

To be honest, Li Mo did not quite understand this kind of behavior. Since there were cars following, why didn’t they just let her drive the car over? This would have been much faster.

“Is it convenient to close the door first? I don’t really want to take out the supplies in public,” being stared at by several hundred people, Li Mo always felt a little uncomfortable, as if she were a clown performing.

“I understand, I understand. Old Liu, quick, close the warehouse door!” Old Wang shouted loudly and moved to drive a few curious children out of the warehouse.

Phew. It was finally a little quieter. Li Mo took a rough look at the size of the warehouse, directly waved her hand, and boxes of packed supplies appeared in the warehouse.

“Most of the people here are food. This small pile is daily necessities. The red box is some medicine,” Li Mo briefly explained the categories of the supplies.

“You should have also received the news, right? The rescue team should be here tomorrow or the day after. You can have them sort out the things they need to bring first. If they can be packed in a large box, I can help to transport them.”

Old Wang’s eyes lit up when he heard this. “I understand what you mean, Captain Li. I’ll go and tell them this good news right away!”

“Captain Li, if you don’t mind, you can stay at my house for a while,” Old Liu immediately came over. “Do you want to eat, Captain Li? If not, do you want to have a meal together?”

“No need. I’ve already eaten on the road,” Li Mo politely refused.

“You should eat a little more, Captain Li. You’ve worked so hard to send us supplies. We should at least prepare a table of hot food for you!” Old Wang chimed in. “I happen to have a bottle of good wine. I must have a few drinks with you tonight, Captain Li!”

Old Wang and Old Liu were too enthusiastic. Li Mo refused several times to no avail and could only temporarily agree, starting an unnecessary social activity.
