Blurb:
Li Ping'an, female, 23 years old, works professionally as an errand runner. Always punctual, thoughtful, and attentive, she has earned countless positive reviews.
One day, Li Ping'an was leaning against her motorcycle, carefully choosing an available local delivery job. Suddenly, an order popped up: "Buy a case of bottled water. Pay: 500 yuan, plus a tip. Address: Building 5, Room 502, Ailin Residential Community, Suihe Subdistrict, Wuhu District, Nanlin City." The pay nearly blinded her. Li Ping'an tapped to accept in a flash, and when "Order accepted" appeared on the screen, she grinned with delight.
But as she kept smiling, something began to feel wrong. She had lived in Nanlin City for over twenty years, so how had she never heard of Ailin Residential Community...
Inside, a girl peered through a crack in the window, watching the zombies wandering below in terror. She didn't dare make a sound. She still remembered how, two days ago, the zombies had broken into the apartment across the hall and bitten its residents to death.
As she stuffed her sleeve into her mouth and trembled, the doorbell suddenly rang. "Ding dong~"
A sound that used to feel so familiar now seemed like a death knell. Annie's eyes flew wide open.
Li Ping'an waited outside for ages, but no one came to open the door. She clicked her tongue, but when she thought of the pay for this job, she held her temper in check and messaged the client through the app.
Annie's phone vibrated in her tightly clenched hand. "Your order has been delivered. Please open the door to confirm receipt."
Someone was outside?!
Annie carefully moved her feet and crept up to the peephole to look outside. A tall young woman in a black outdoor jacket was standing there, head lowered as she tapped at her phone.
Li Ping'an heard the door open and hadn't even had time to react before she was suddenly hugged. With a phone in one hand and a case of bottled water in the other, she felt rather helpless.
"Please, help me."
"Huh? Me?"
"I'll pay you. My mom is really rich."
"Don't worry, I'll get it done. You'll be satisfied."
Reader's guide:
1. Early on, the heroine believes she is "born under an unlucky star" and is somewhat stubborn about her feelings. (This is only at the very beginning and takes up very little of the story.)
2. The heroine is strong, and with the app's help, she can take a lot of punishment, physically speaking.
3. The heroine isn't a saint, but she believes in helping whenever she can, and enjoys watching the drama and gossip along the way.
3.. The male lead appears late and has little page time early on.
Theme: Keep moving forward, even when you're in a desperate situation.
Annie's safety awareness is too weak, right? 🐶
Is this Annie really scared?
I feel like Wuya has written too much and the protagonist's existence has been weakened.
The title is Empty City, with an ancient background. So is it because all the people died due to natural disasters? Will Erya be brought back to modern times this time?
Didn't the previous chapter talk about choosing a name for peace of mind? How did this chapter become stable?
