Chapter 587: An Unreachable Dream
In fact, Li Jian did this simply because he wanted to have more contact with Zhou Mei.
There are no other ideas.
He likes Zhou Mei.
But the more he likes it, the more factors he considers.
He felt that as an ordinary person, he was not worthy of a high-level supernatural being like Zhou Mei.
There is no way to bring happiness to Zhou Mei.
After all, he still relies on a big tree like Li Luo to live the good life he has today.
Before joining the robbing gang, he was just an ordinary person living in a shelter, doing the hardest and most tiring work and living at the bottom of society.
How can such a man give Zhou Mei a stable future?
Therefore, Zhou Mei is an unattainable dream for him.
Li Jian doesn’t know what the future will be like.
He only knew that he didn't dare to ask for so much now. As long as he could stay with Zhou Mei silently, he would be satisfied.
As for Zhou Mei.
Over the past few days, Wei Kexin always mentioned Li Jian to her intentionally or unintentionally.
In addition, Li Jian himself always got close to Zhou Mei for no reason.
As a result, Zhou Mei, a "love veteran" who had once been on a mission, finally noticed some "clues".
She guessed Li Jian's feelings for her.
However, the sentence is still the same.
She had never been in a relationship before the apocalypse, and it was even more impossible after the apocalypse!
So, after guessing Li Jian's thoughts, Zhou Mei's attitude towards him became cold and distant.
She wanted to use this method to make Li Jian give up and give up his thoughts on her.
However, what Zhou Mei didn't expect was.
Although Li Jian was always hanging around in front of her, he had never actively interacted with her.
Even when we talk, we always treat it as a business matter.
This made Zhou Mei wonder several times whether she was being too sentimental and had misunderstood that the other person was interested in her.
Until this time, the two of them "happened" to team up as a patrol group and had time to spend together alone.
Zhou Mei was still thinking about taking this opportunity to see if she had made a wrong judgment.
If I really think too much, then I should get along well with others in the future.
No more giving people the cold shoulder all day long.
This will avoid affecting the relationship between the relatives and friends of both parties!
As a result, after the two officially started working together, Li Jian was still polite to her, and except for necessary communication during work, he never took the initiative to talk to her.
This resulted in the two of them patrolling in such silence that Zhou Mei felt a little uncomfortable.
It's not like she hasn't formed such temporary groups with other members of the Dig Pocket Group.
After a patrol, they would chat with each other more or less.
It will also make you a little more familiar with it.
Who would have thought that when she got to Li Jian, he didn't interact with her at all.
The main theme is: silence is golden.
At this point, Zhou Mei was also sure.
Li Jian has no thoughts about her at all.
She was just being sentimental before!
But soon after, a turning point appeared.
The two patrolled to a fork in the road.
There are two passages on both sides of this intersection.
However, these two passages will merge into one road again at the next intersection.
Therefore, in order to improve the efficiency of patrolling, Zhou Mei and Li Jian agreed to separate temporarily.
See you at the next intersection.
The accident happened after the two separated.
Logically speaking, when being attacked by a horde of cockroaches, a powerful person with superpowers like Zhou Mei would be able to react faster than an ordinary person like Li Jian.
However, the truth is quite the opposite.
Somehow Zhou Mei was attacked by a horde of cockroaches.
Li Jian, however, managed to escape unexpectedly thanks to his keen insight and enough luck.
After Li Jian escaped from his own passage, the first thing he thought of was to find Zhou Mei.
He was only a few dozen meters away from the next intersection, so he did not retreat but moved forward directly.
When they arrived at the agreed place and didn't see Zhou Mei, Li Jian suddenly panicked.
Regardless of anything, he turned around and rushed into the passage where Zhou Mei was, which was already crowded with a horde of cockroaches.
It was also a distance of dozens of meters, but Li Jian walked it with great difficulty.
The ground under his feet was filled with cockroaches.
Those cockroaches are big and small.
But what is the same is that their shells are very smooth.
With one step, you can kill a large number of "exploding" cockroaches.
During this time, cockroaches that had not been stepped on to death kept crawling along his feet and onto his body, attacking and disturbing him frantically.
This made the already difficult ground even more difficult to walk on.
When Li Jian finally found Zhou Mei, his body was already covered with bites from the cockroaches.
The first part of Zhou Mei's body that was attacked was her feet, causing her to fall heavily.
The fall knocked her so hard that she was completely dazed and didn't even have time to release her supernatural powers.
It was this fall that gave the army of cockroaches the opportunity to approach Zhou Mei.
However, he is, after all, a high-level powerful person with supernatural powers.
Even though the situation had become so bad, Zhou Mei was able to quickly turn herself around and was about to be swallowed up by the army of cockroaches.
After she fell to the ground, within a few seconds, she released an ice field that covered an area of 5 meters in radius centered on herself.
Hundreds and thousands of cockroaches that approached Zhou Mei were instantly frozen in place and turned into lumps of ice.
But the good times didn't last long, as there were too many cockroaches.
It's like they are not afraid of death.
Even though they knew they would be instantly frozen if they approached that area, they did not stop rushing towards Zhou Mei.
Batch after batch of cockroaches were frozen.
Zhou Mei's energy was quickly exhausted due to excessive consumption of her supernatural powers, and she could no longer maintain the ice field.
There is no barrier of ice field.
The cockroach army soon surrounded them.
It was also at this time that Li Jian rushed over like a god descending from the sky.
He rushed over and without saying a word, picked up Zhou Mei who was squatting on the ground.
Then, he took her and ran in the direction they came from.
While running, Li Jian shouted for help at the top of his voice.
It’s a pity that their location is remote and some distance away from residential areas.
Unless there happens to be someone nearby.
Otherwise, even if he screamed at the top of his lungs, no one would hear his cry for help.
As for the walkie-talkie that was usually used for communication, it had been lost in the panic.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked for help in this way.
In this way, Li Jian held Zhou Mei and rushed out of the encirclement of the cockroach army.
Seeing that he was about to escape from this passage, hope ignited in Li Jian's heart.
