Chapter 208: Getting close to that doomsday boss (15)

For a whole week, Li Ziyan trained with Han Linxia. If he was not sure that he had not done anything else to make Han Linxia unhappy except confessing his feelings, he would have thought that Han Linxia was trying to make things difficult for him in revenge.

Because Han Linxia was really training him hard, it was just that the conditions didn't allow it right now, otherwise Han Linxia would probably have him run 20 kilometers with a weight. Besides this basic physical training, there were also deadly combats every day. On the first day, Li Ziyan hadn't realized how terrifying it was. He was still stunned when Han Linxia threw him to the ground.

Li Ziyan sat on the sofa and rolled up his trouser legs. There was a bruise on his leg and his muscles were sore.

This has become his daily routine for a while now. His body has never felt well, and even his face is gray every day. Sometimes he is so tired that he falls asleep as soon as he comes home.

He took some clean water from Chen Kuangyuan and washed the wound on his arm, frowning in pain.

Han Linxia saw Li Ziyan like this the moment she came in. She walked up to him with a cold face and snatched the water from Li Ziyan's hand. "Why don't you take the medicine?"

"This injury is much lighter than my brother's... and the instructor's. It will be healed in a few days." Li Ziyan smiled, but his brows were still furrowed.

"Don't you have medicine?" Han Linxia said in a bad tone. She sat next to Li Ziyan, trying to keep a distance from him, but she couldn't control her instincts. She reached out and moved Li Ziyan's legs onto the sofa, placing them on her lap. "You have medicine, but you don't want to use it. Are you saving it for having a baby?"

"..." Li Ziyan didn't say anything. He bit his lower lip and looked up at Han Linxia's eyes. His eyes were watery and red. "That's for you to use."

"Aren't you afraid of pain?"

Li Ziyan nodded and didn't hide it, "I'm afraid, but you need him more than I do."

Han Linxia couldn't tell what she felt in her heart, but her eyes kept changing as she looked at Li Ziyan.

He took Chen Kuangyuan's place to teach Li Ziyan out of impulse. He initially thought that Li Ziyan would not be able to hold on for long, but he did not expect that even though Li Ziyan was covered in injuries and was too tired to get up every day, he still persisted.

Not to mention what he just said, which reminded him of what Li Ziyan had said to him before, that he would protect him and not hold him back.

After the apocalypse, Han Linxia never thought about finding a significant other, or even whether he would ever fall in love again. Furthermore, during this time, he had witnessed the ups and downs of life. Many people sold their bodies and cheated on their relationships in search of support and protection, only to decisively betray and flee when they found a better partner.

This was what he had thought after Li Ziyan confessed her feelings for him. After all, they had only known each other for a short time, and he couldn't figure out how he could have won Li Ziyan's affection. But now, he was confused. Li Ziyan didn't rely on him, but was really trying to grow up, wanted to protect him, and stand by him.

"You..." Han Linxia had just said one word, and before he could finish the rest, the sky outside suddenly darkened.

It didn't just get darker, but turned into a dark red light.

This light is exactly the same as the one that appeared before the end of the world.

Li Ziyan and Han Linxia both raised their heads suddenly, looked out the window, and their faces tightened.

"Boss!"

"Brother Han!"

Bai Jingzhe and Chen Kuangyuan had already come up from downstairs and ran to Han Linxia. They all looked solemn and walked to the window to observe the situation outside.

The entire sky had turned blood red, a color both eerie and alluring. The team members stood guard below, weapons in hand, observing the surrounding situation.

The howling of zombies and ferocious beasts gradually sounded all around, and everything was just like the day when the end of the world came.

"What's going on? Is someone going to turn into a zombie again?" Chen Kuangyuan and Bai Jingzhe both looked unhappy. They clenched their fists and observed the situation outside.

This situation is too terrible, unpredictable and uncontrollable, and they can only be forced to endure it all.

Han Linxia shook his head, but veins on his hands bulged.

"Let the brothers come up and close the door."

"Um."

A warm and cool touch appeared on the palm of his hand. Han Linxia was stunned for a moment. Looking over, he saw Li Ziyan holding his hand and pursing his lips.

"Are you scared?"

"I'm not afraid." Li Ziyan shook his head and tightened his grip on Han Linxia's hand. "As long as I'm here, I'm not afraid."

Han Linxia didn't pursue the question of how Li Ziyan addressed him. He sighed in his heart and didn't shake off Li Ziyan's hand.

"Brother, Brother Bai, Brother Kuangyuan, this time seems to be different from the day of the end of the world."

"Different? How is it different?"

Li Ziyan frowned, trying to recall the scene in his memory, and found the difference. "That day, I was barbecuing with my father in the yard, so I remember it clearly. The sky suddenly became dark, and it took almost half an hour for light to come back and the sky turned red."

That day was a nightmare, and it was deeply engraved in Li Ziyan's memory, so Li Ziyan was able to remember the difference between the two.

After Li Ziyan said this, Han Linxia and the others also realized this, but they knew too little about the situation, and knowing only this was of no help.

This time, it lasted two hours.

By the time the weather returned to normal, the temperature outside began to drop.

"Check if any team members are showing symptoms, and pay attention to the movements of the zombies and ferocious beasts around."

"yes!"

Han Linxia looked at Li Ziyan, who was still holding his fist, with a complicated expression, "Rest well and apply medicine to heal your wound."

"Um."

After saying that, Han Linxia went downstairs.

Li Ziyan glanced out the window, frowned, sat down on the sofa, and called out to 007, "What's going on? What does this red sun signify?"

"Host, this is one of the steps in the apocalypse process. Before this, all zombies and all superpowers were at the primary stage. This time, they have advanced."

"Advanced?" Li Ziyan's voice was cold. Fragments of the apocalypse appeared in his mind, and his pupils shrank. "Zombies, will they upgrade?"

"You could say that zombies used to be like rotting meat, relying on smell, light, and sound to move around. Now, some zombies have attributes and abilities like psychics, and their movements are even more agile."

Li Ziyan's heart beat faster and faster as 007 spoke, but he quickly grasped one point, "Can people with special abilities also upgrade?"

"meeting."

With a plan in mind, Li Ziyan jumped off the sofa and went downstairs regardless of the pain in his legs and body.

"Brother! Brother Bai! Brother Kuangyuan! Come quickly!"

Several people turned around when they heard Li Ziyan's voice. It was the first time they saw Li Ziyan so unstable in such a long time.

Han Linxia knew that Li Ziyan would not lose his temper, so she quickly walked up to him and asked, "What's wrong?"
