Chapter 170 The Original Female Lead Who Was Used as Cannon Fodder 20

After a thorough inspection, the group successfully entered the base.

The base is surrounded by various defensive measures, and not far away is a tall and dense residential area, like a pigeon coop.

The building was completely dark and silent, devoid of any noise.

This place is too far out; there's a risk of zombie invasion or someone turning into a zombie at the city gate. The people living here have long since learned to remain silent.

“It’s getting late, shall I take you two to rest?” Zhao Linxiu said.

Ruan Yunzhen nodded slightly: "Then I'll trouble you."

Zhao Linxiu blushed immediately and stammered, "No, no trouble at all."

Lin Wuque looked at him with a sinister gaze: "Hurry up and lead the way."

"Let's go now."

Zhao Linxiu was startled and quickly boarded a shuttle bus, which headed towards the inner city.

As the vehicle drove deeper into the building, the gaps between the buildings on both sides gradually widened, and more light entered the buildings.

Zhao Linxiu led the two to the inner city and stopped in front of a villa.

In order to attract more talent, retain those who are crucial to the development of the base, and acquire more resources to maintain the operation and expansion of the base, the base's senior management specially planned and built a batch of villas.

This is a three-story building, not large in area, but very exquisite, forming a stark contrast with the crowded pigeon coops around it.

In the apocalypse, the gap between people is ruthlessly magnified.

Most people are still struggling to make ends meet, barely having enough to eat or a place to stay. Meanwhile, those who hold power or have extraordinary abilities live a life of luxury and comfort.

The strong enjoy the last legacies of civilization, while the weak are not even qualified to approach them.

Zhao Linxiu pushed open the door: "This is a Class A residence specially provided by the base, currently only allocated to those who have made special contributions or those with level 5 or higher superpowers."

He deliberately slowed his pace so that the two could see the wooden tables and chairs in the courtyard, as well as the several carefully cultivated green plants.

These landscapes and facilities, which seemed rudimentary before the apocalypse, are now luxuries that even leaders of medium-sized settlements can hardly match.

In the lobby, the leather sofas and solid wood furniture exude a long-lost sense of civilization.

"Electricity is available 24/7, and purified water is delivered daily by designated personnel. The underground area is a safe house, capable of withstanding a level-three zombie horde."

Zhao Linxiu gave a brief introduction and then handed the key to Lin Wuque.

"Someone will deliver supplies shortly."

He then pointed to the entryway, "There's a walkie-talkie there. Just give the order if you need anything."

"Alright, that's enough. Get out of here," Lin Wuque said impatiently.

"Then I'll be going now."

Zhao Linxiu didn't say much, and took his leave with a smile.

After everyone left, Ruan Yunzhen took out a set of cleaning tools.

"Go and clean the house for me."

Ruan Yunzhen had no idea who had lived here before, and she was unwilling to make herself suffer.

Lin Wuque did not argue, and obediently picked up the tools and started cleaning.

He had done these chores when those two were still alive.

For the sake of efficiency, he also started using Black Annihilation for synchronous cleaning.

Soon, the entire villa was spotless and looked brand new.

Lin Wuque tossed him another set of bedding and then tossed him the one he had been using: "Go make the bed."

She didn't touch the ones sent from the base.

Lin Wuque hugged the bedding, the fragrant scent lingering in his nostrils, a blush unconsciously rising on his cheeks, and his heartbeat quickening involuntarily.

"Okay, okay."

Lin Wuque entered the master bedroom and carefully made the bed. As for his own, he thought for a moment and simply placed it at the foot of the bed.

On the bed and under the bed, the two quilts were very close together.

Lin Wuque smiled with satisfaction.

"Master, I've finished laying it out."

At this moment, Ruan Yunzhen took out several dishes from her spatial storage. Upon seeing this, she called out, "Come and eat."

She's at least been with her, and today she's been driving and killing zombies, so she wouldn't be so stingy as to not even give him a meal.

Lin Wuque's eyes suddenly lit up with an astonishing light, and he raised his hand blankly: "Are you...calling me?"

"Otherwise what?" Ruan Yunzhen raised an eyebrow.

Lin Wuque's face immediately broke into a big smile, a smile that was brighter than ever before, without any gloom, and his eyes were clean and bright.

He shouted, "Thank you, Master!"

Ruan Yunzhen nodded in satisfaction, picked up her chopsticks, and began to eat slowly and deliberately.

Lin Wuque picked up his rice bowl and began to eat carefully, savoring each bite with great care and appreciation.

Having seen dismembered limbs all day, Ruan Yunzhen didn't have a big appetite and quickly ate her fill.

It was getting late, and she didn't plan to do anything else, so she prepared to go back to her room to wash up and go to bed.

Lin Wuque paused, unable to resist stealing a glance at Ruan Yunzhen's back. His chopsticks moved slower and slower, filled with trepidation.

Ruan Yunzhen couldn't help but chuckle when she saw the makeshift bed at the foot of the bed.

She shook her head and went into the bathroom.

It's like having a dog tied to the foot of the bed to protect her.

There are all sorts of strange and unusual superpowers, and it's hard to guarantee that someone won't sneak in. She hasn't even gotten her hands on the jade bracelet space yet, and she doesn't want to die in a muddle.

After waiting for a while, Lin Wuque still hadn't seen Ruan Yunzhen come out, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, his tense body instantly relaxing.

He quickly finished his meal, then rushed to another room to take a shower before arriving at the master bedroom door.

"Knock knock knock".

"Master, am I coming in?"

His voice was dry and strained.

Lin Wuque had no romantic thoughts, but for some reason, his heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was about to burst out of his chest, and a strange restlessness swept over his whole body.

His fingers, hanging by his sides, clenched unconsciously, and his breathing became slightly rapid; he was inexplicably flustered.

"Come in." Ruan Yunzhen, who was drying her hair, stopped what she was doing and said loudly.

Lin Wuque carefully pushed the door open and entered, then stopped moving, standing awkwardly in place with his head down, not daring to look at Ruan Yunzhen.

"Master, I...I'm going to sleep..."

The things he said were unexpectedly silly.

At this moment, he didn't seem like a fanatical and ruthless madman, but more like an innocent and naive young man.

However, Ruan Yunzhen didn't have any other thoughts at the moment. Upon hearing this, she simply hummed in agreement and continued drying her hair.

Lin Wuque also felt that his current state was extremely strange, but he just couldn't relax.

He froze for a moment, then said casually, "Master, shall I dry your hair?"

Ruan Yunzhen naturally handed him the hair dryer without any hesitation.

Lin Wuque had always lived a rough life and had never done anything so meticulous before. He moved gently, and the warm breeze, carrying a sense of panic, slowly brushed against Ruan Yunzhen's hair.

The hairdryer whirred, and Lin Wuque's heart gradually calmed down. His brows relaxed, and a sense of joy filled his entire body.

In the past, only killing could temporarily soothe his inner turmoil, but now, just doing some trivial things for his master makes him feel warm and cozy, and all the gloom disappears.

When it was almost dry, Ruan Yunzhen called a halt, "That's enough."

"Oh..." Lin Wuque reluctantly turned off the hair dryer.

Ruan Yunzhen stood up, her movements stiffening for a moment.

The aftereffects of using the gun this morning finally came over me; my arm started to ache, and my shoulder armor felt sore and swollen.

Seeing this, Lin Wuque said solicitously, "Master, shall I help you relieve the pain?"

Ruan Yunzhen glanced at him: "You know how to give massages?"

“No.” Lin Wuque shook his head, a wisp of white stalk appearing at his fingertip. “However, I have this.”

"This can relieve fatigue?" Ruan Yunzhen was a little surprised.

"Yes, Master, you should lie down now."

Lin Wuque gently helped Ruan Yunzhen lie down. Thick white herbs, like mist, surged from his palm, instantly transforming into thousands of soft rays of light that gently enveloped Ruan Yunzhen.

The healing power that many people crave but cannot obtain is thus casually wasted.

"Hmm..." Ruan Yunzhen couldn't help but let out a soft moan.

The white mist seemed to seep into her skin as if it were alive, each wisp precisely soothing her tired nerves. Comfort permeated every pore without any obstruction, and her entire body relaxed completely in this warm current.

She unconsciously shifted her head, and her taut shoulder line relaxed at a visible speed.

Ruan Yunzhen slowly closed her eyes, a faint smile unconsciously appearing on her lips. In this ultimate comfort, she peacefully fell asleep.

Lin Wuque did not immediately retract the white mist until her breathing became long and steady, and all her fatigue subsided, at which point the white mist reluctantly dissipated.

Looking at Ruan Yunzhen's peaceful sleeping face, a sense of satisfaction quietly crept onto Lin Wuque's face.

A sense of peace and warmth washed over him, completely different from the violent and obsessive nature that had permeated him at all times before.

Like a gentle breeze in spring, carrying soft drizzle, it seeps into the depths of the heart.

He gradually calmed down, as if he had found a long-lost haven of peace, and his soul had found a place to rest.

Lin Wuque stood by the bed for a long time, etching Ruan Yunzhen's sleeping face into the depths of his soul, before slowly lying down and sleeping beside the bed.

In my sleep, a sweet smile unconsciously appeared on my lips.

...

After leaving the villa, Zhao Linxiu went straight to his uncle Zhao Chenxiao's residence.

"You're back?"

Zhao Chenxiao was not surprised to see Zhao Linxiu. He simply greeted him and then continued to handle his affairs.

Since the zombie outbreak, the Zhao family has been either killed or scattered, leaving only the uncle and nephew.

Grandpa was the last to die, and on his deathbed, he passed the position of base commander to Zhao Chenxiao.

Zhao Chenxiao is the youngest son of Old Master Zhao, only a few years older than Zhao Linxiu. He is only twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, but he has already shouldered the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in the entire base. He works tirelessly and often stays up late into the night before finally getting a short sleep from exhaustion.

Zhao Linxiu knew how busy his uncle was, so he didn't waste any words and told Zhao Chenxiao everything that happened that night.

"You mean, that zombie reached level seven, and the man killed it without even showing his face?"

Zhao Chenxiao frowned, his expression grave.

Zhao Linxiu nodded emphatically: "Yes, he didn't get out of the car the whole time. Even though he was dozens of meters away, his superpowers were completely under his control and extremely powerful. The zombie had no way to resist."

Zhao Chenxiao pondered for a moment, then asked, "What's his name?"

Although communications are now cut off, the various bases still maintain regular contact.

The number of advanced ability users is limited, and Zhao Chenxiao naturally knows exactly who they are.

If it's a name he's familiar with, then he'll naturally know how to deal with it.

"Forehead……"

Zhao Linxiu paused.

"You don't know?" Zhao Chenxiao frowned deeply.

Zhao Linxiu shrank back and whispered, "I don't know..."

The man's aura was too strong and too terrifying. In addition, there was such a stunningly beautiful woman in the room. He was nervous and dazed the whole time and didn't dare to say a word.

Zhao Chenxiao gave him a deep look and waved his hand: "Go back."

Now that his uncle had spoken, Zhao Chenxiao naturally slipped away as fast as he could.

...

The morning light pierced through the thin curtains and gently fell on the bed. Ruan Yunzhen slowly woke up, her long eyelashes fluttering as she slowly opened her eyes.

Thanks to Lin Wuque's amazing massage last night, Ruan Yunzhen feels great and has no intention of staying in bed.

She sat up in bed, and as soon as she put her legs down, she felt a warm and firm sensation on the soles of her feet.

Ruan Yunzhen was startled and subconsciously looked down before remembering that Lin Wuque had slept on the floor in her room last night.

He was lying there, not covered by a blanket, his muscular upper body bare, his bright eyes staring straight at me, sparkling.

"Master, does it feel comfortable stepping on me like this?"

Lin Wuque had already woken up, but since his master hadn't gotten up yet, he didn't want to get up either, and only wanted to sleep at the foot of her bed for the rest of his life.

Noticing Ruan Yunzhen's movements, he unexpectedly thought of being stepped on the same time yesterday, and quickly threw off the blanket.

Ruan Yunzhen's feet had very delicate skin, like solidified fat, and her toes were round and full, like carefully carved mutton fat jade.

Stepping on Lin Wuque's firm, fair chest, adorned with two touches of red, like red plum blossoms quietly blooming in the snow, added a touch of elegance, making Ruan Yunzhen unable to help but take a second look.

Noticing Ruan Yunzhen's gaze, Lin Wuque's smile deepened, and pure joy shone in his eyes.

He reached out his warm palm and placed it on Ruan Yunzhen's feet, gently stroking them with his fingertips.

"If Master likes it, then step on it more often..."

As he spoke, a blush rose to his cheeks, his eyes sparkling. He gently bit his lower lip, adding a touch of charm to his already exquisitely sculpted face.

He also really enjoys the feeling of being stepped on by his owner like that.

It felt warm and comforting, and I felt incredibly at ease.

Whether it was because he had been taught a profound lesson, or perhaps because he was simply too captivated by this scene, Lin Wuque at this moment showed no trace of madness, only utter purity.

Is he trying to seduce her?

Ruan Yunzhen sized up Lin Wuque, her gaze unconsciously drifting downwards. She then paused, a strange expression appearing on her face.

For some reason, under Ruan Yunzhen's gaze, Lin Wuque felt a little embarrassed.

"Master, what are you looking at?"

He followed Ruan Yunzhen's gaze and his eyes fell on a certain part of her body. His body stiffened instantly, his ears turned red and hot, and his cheeks felt like they were ripe.

Despite Lin Wuque's shamelessness in front of Ruan Yunzhen, he still felt awkward in this situation, especially with Ruan Yunzhen looking down at him from such a high position. His sense of shame, which had been forgotten, quietly returned.
