Chapter 1749 A Man and a Woman Seeking Help

Li Luo's heart sank slightly, but she wasn't surprised.

She knows Lu Jingcheng too well.

He is a member of the Blazing Fire Team. Whether before the apocalypse or now, he is an elite soldier specially assigned by the country to deal with foreign forces. The soldier's duty has long been engraved in his bones and integrated into his blood.

Even if the world collapses and order is destroyed, the obsession with "protecting the people" never fades away.

In his eyes, every ordinary person struggling to survive deserves to be rescued, and he would never stand by and watch someone die, even if it meant taking on unknown risks.

"Let's see how things go." Li Luo suppressed her complicated emotions, said to Lu Jingcheng, and steadily got out of the car.

She knew that since Lu Jingcheng had already stopped the car, there was no reason for him to turn around and leave. Instead of agonizing over whether to help, she should first find out the situation and try to avoid risks as much as possible.

Shi Xinxin and Chu Yuanqing immediately followed.

Shi Xinxin had a faint halo of ice and fire elemental power condensed on her fingertips. She stood casually beside Li Luo, but in reality, she leaned forward slightly, ready to launch an attack at the first sign of any movement.

Chu Yuanqing then calmly spread his spiritual power, like an invisible net, quietly probing every corner of the surrounding ruins, including the shadows behind the broken walls and the gaps in the collapsed floors, to prevent any ambushes.

In the apocalypse, such vigilance is never enough.

Sun Qi and Shao Guang, who were in the other car, also got out quickly. They were surrounded by a faint aura of supernatural power, and their guarded posture was natural.

Shao Guang closed his eyes and then suddenly opened them again. His pupils contracted slightly, and his eye-enhancing ability was activated instantly, magnifying his vision several times over. He could clearly see even the rolling rubble in the gaps of the ruins a hundred meters away and the tattered cloth fluttering behind the broken wall.

His gaze was like a precise scanner, sweeping over every shadowy corner. No slightest movement could escape his detection. These eyes, enhanced by his supernatural abilities, were more reliable than the most sophisticated instruments.

Sun Qi stood to the side of the car, surrounded by a faint aura. His fire-type ability was already in operation, ready to launch an attack or issue a warning at any time.

His gaze was sharp as an eagle's, vigilantly scanning every corner of the ruins.

Li Luo stood by the car, his gaze calm yet undeniably steady, slowly sweeping over the young couple.

Her gaze swept over their tattered clothes and bloodstained backpacks, down to the girl's subconsciously tense arms, and then to the mud and grass clippings on their feet. She took in every detail, analyzing and deduce it all in her mind.

The boy's windbreaker had several tears, with small wood chips and stone fragments hanging from the edges, obviously caused by being scraped by broken wood and rubble in the ruins during his escape.

The scratches on his arm were haphazardly spaced and of varying depths, lacking the neat marks characteristic of zombie claws. They looked more like scratches from falling steel bars or bushes when he was desperately trying to get away. The edges of the wounds only had dried blood and dust, with no signs of redness, swelling, or ulceration due to viral infection. They looked like ordinary external injuries.

The girl had bruises and abrasions on her forehead and cheeks, her hair was tangled with pebbles and withered grass, and her knuckles were white from excessive force.

That was an instinctive reaction under extreme tension. The posture of the superpower was defensive, not offensive. It was clearly a preparation for self-defense, not an intention to harm others.

Her backpack was covered in dust and dark red bloodstains, which were from ordinary external injuries, without any trace of the dark green color characteristic of the zombie virus.
