The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

Chapter 860: Chapter 839: Interstellar Superstar 9

Anning heard a flurry of footsteps coming from the corridor outside, and she quickly pulled Chu Ming and Ning Kexin to hide under the bed in the carriage.

The door was opened, and a man glanced inside, ”Nothing here.”

The door was simply closed again.

Chu Ming crawled out, patting his chest, ”Scared the hell out of me.”

Ning Kexin kicked him, ”Watch your language.”

”Damn, that’s just how I roll.”

Chu Ming looked defiant.

When the footsteps faded away, Anning said, ”You guys wait here, I’ll go release them.”

”Okay.”

Anning listened at the door for a while, suddenly opened it, and rushed out.

She sprinted at top speed to the carriage where Fang Xiaolian and the others were being held.

Soon, Anning found the cage holding the others.

Ming Ye and Yu Huayuan had already turned into zombies, and the doors of their cages were open. Who knows where they had run off to.

The other three cages were locked.

Anning stood at the cage door for a moment before she started inputting the code.

She opened the three cage doors, ”Come on out.”

The three people came out one after another.

”Thanks.”

He Gang glanced at Anning and mouthed his gratitude.

Fang Xiaolian lowered her head, wanting to speak but not knowing what to say.

Ma Fendou smiled, ”Thank you, girl. What should we do now?”

Ma Fendou’s intention was clear; he wanted to join Anning’s team and was willing to follow her lead.

He Gang was somewhat reluctant.

He was not convinced.

He believed that in terms of experience and physical ability, he was better than Anning and was unwilling to be led by a young woman like her.

Fang Xiaolian also seemed a bit unconvinced.

”Since you’re out now, think of a way yourselves, I’m leaving first.”

Anning did not insist on having the three join her; she glanced at them and turned to leave.

Ma Fendou quickly chased after her.

Fang Xiaolian looked at He Gang, ”Brother He, aren’t you going over?”

He Gang shook his head, ”I want to find a place to hide first.”

Fang Xiaolian whispered, ”I’ll go with you.”

He Gang couldn’t help but smile when he heard Fang Xiaolian was willing to team up with him, ”Alright.”

Anning returned with Ma Fendou.

Ma Fendou was particularly happy to see Ning Kexin, ”Kexin, you’re here too, if I’d known earlier, I would have...”

Ning Kexin gave Ma Fendou a cold look, ”Shut up.”

Instantly, Ma Fendou dared not speak.

Anning sat down, closing her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking about.

After a while, Anning said, ”In a short while, they’ll deal with the zombies, and it’s almost dinner time. Let’s try to get some food during this time.”

Ma Fendou quickly volunteered, ”I’ll go.”

Chu Ming stood up too, ”I’ll go with Brother Ma, you guys take a rest first.”

”Okay.”

Anning didn’t insist on going with them, realizing that, after all, they were a team and needed to work together. If Ma Fendou and Chu Ming, the two men, were always doing nothing, they would feel uneasy, and over time, they might develop complaints.

Ma Fendou and Chu Ming took weapons with them as they left.

Anning and Ning Kexin sat facing each other, but no one spoke.

Anning closed her eyes to rest, while Ning Kexin seemed lost in thought.

In the S company’s hall, the doors of two nutrient cabins were opened, and Ming Ye and Yu Huayuan emerged from inside, looking particularly displeased.

Their faces were dark, obviously angry.

It was understandable that they were angry. They came to participate in the reality show through connections and put in a lot of effort, but who would have thought they’d be out as soon as it started? Anyone would find that hard to bear.

Most importantly, the way they died on the reality show was especially disgraceful.

They had turned into zombies and were shot dead with headshots.

Forget about the bloody scene, anyone would look horrible after a headshot. Dying in such a disgraceful manner would surely leave a bad impression on their fans.

It could be said that the reality show they put so much effort into joining didn’t help them at all. Instead, it would cost them fans, a true case of losing everything.

”How did we end up becoming zombies?”

Yu Huayuan came out angrily questioning the staff, ”How is your game designed? How are there zombies on a train? This setting doesn’t make sense, and we turned into zombies without even knowing it, it’s too...”

The staff wouldn’t take their grumbling.

He opened his device, found a video, and showed it to Yu Huayuan and Ming Ye, ”See? This is what happened.”

The video showed Anning in the bathroom getting a glass bottle, then she put the potion on her nails, followed by the scene of her argument with the guard, scratching his face with her long nails.

Yu Huayuan frowned as he watched, ”Isn’t this just giving her a cheat?”

Ming Ye also seemed displeased.

The staff said, ”It’s not a cheat, it’s part of the game’s design. We provide a variety of tools in the game, but whether or not you find them is up to you. Anning found them because she’s capable.”

Yu Huayuan pursed his lips, saying nothing, while Ming Ye snorted indignantly several times.

Emperor Star, film production base

Li Wanwan finished doing her makeup and was about to go out to film when her assistant rushed over and whispered in her ear, ”Sister Li, have you heard about Anning?”

Li Wanwan was stunned, ”What about her? Isn’t she participating in a reality show? Has something happened?”

She felt a jolt of worry, ”What happened to her?”

The assistant was about to say something when the director called from outside, ”Sister Li, are you ready? It’s your turn.”

Li Wanwan quickly responded and didn’t ask her assistant any more about what happened to Anning. She threw on a coat and walked out.

After Li Wanwan went out, she quickly shot two sets of scenes.

After filming, the actor who played the third female lead, Cao Jiajia, came over, ”Sister Li, have you heard about Anning? I tell you, you all don’t care enough about Anning. How can you let the kid be so wronged? A child as good as Anning would be cherished like a treasure in other families, but you all...”

Li Wanwan was increasingly shocked, ”What exactly happened?”

Her assistant came over and opened the device to show her the online content.

The more Li Wanwan read, the worse her expression became. By the time she finished, her face was as pale as paper, and her eyes were filled with sadness, worry, and a hint of embarrassment.

She got up and requested leave from the director, ”Director, I have some family matters to attend to, I need to go home.”

The director waved her off, ”Go ahead, anyway there aren’t many scenes left, we can just reschedule to make it up in a couple of days.”

Li Wanwan hurried back to the makeup room to remove her makeup and change her clothes.

When she got home, Cui Zhengxun had also returned.

The two met, and Cui Zhengxun had an angry look on his face, ”Tell An Lin to come back, I want to ask him how he bullied his sister.”
