Chapter 84 Why did you push me just now?
Just when Li Hai was filled with despair and thought he was doomed, the zombie in front of him suddenly collapsed without warning.
Li Hai, still shaken, stared intently at the fallen zombie.
He then noticed that the zombie was crackling with electricity. The blue-purple lightning bolts, like venomous snakes, slithered across the zombie's rotting body, making a hissing sound.
Just then, Qin Zhuo appeared behind Li Hai like a ghost.
His eyes were sharp, his movements swift, and he forcefully pulled Li Hai to the side.
The force was so great that Li Hai almost stumbled and fell to the ground.
"Are you trying to die by spacing out?!"
Qin Zhuo's pull was just right, allowing Li Hai to dodge a fatal attack from another zombie from the side.
The zombie had its gaping maw wide open, its sharp teeth covered in disgusting slime, and it almost bit Li Hai's arm.
Once Li Hai regained his senses, he quickly drew his weapon from his waist and dispatched the zombie with lightning speed.
The zombie's head exploded like a watermelon that had been hit, splattering disgusting liquid everywhere.
Qin Zhu crossed his arms and looked coldly at Li Hai.
"Now you know why I really don't want to be in a group with Li Ruoyan, right? I'm not going to walk with you guys anymore. If I stay with you, this woman might kill me at any time."
After saying that, he didn't even give Li Hai a second glance and turned to leave.
He won't participate in the rescue team next time; he asked the base owner to refuse.
Li Hai watched Qin Zhuo's departing figure, his heart filled with mixed emotions. After hesitating for a moment, he thanked him.
"Thank you for saving me."
Qin Zhuo, who was passing by Li Ruoyan, suddenly turned cold and made a move.
He kicked Li Ruoyan hard, hitting her squarely in the abdomen.
Li Ruoyan was kicked and sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground with a scream of pain.
Upon seeing this, Li Hai's eyes widened, and he hurriedly shouted, "Qin Zhuo, you..."
But before he could finish speaking, Qin Zhuo's icy gaze silenced him.
His gaze was like an icy blade in the dead of winter, making him shiver involuntarily.
Li Hai silently shut up.
This woman definitely deserves to be hit. If it weren't for Young Master Ye's orders to protect her, he would have really wanted to throw her into the zombie horde and let her experience the pain of being devoured by zombies.
Li Ruoyan sat on the ground, her hair disheveled and scattered across her face. She clutched her aching abdomen and pointed fiercely at Qin Zhuo.
"Qin Zhuo, how dare you hit me! Don't forget you're supposed to protect me. If you dare touch me, Young Master Ye won't let you get away with it!"
Qin Zhuo's lips curled into a mocking smile, his eyes filled with disdain.
"So what if I hit you? This isn't a base where all sorts of accidents happen. If you died, do you think the base would do anything to me for someone who's already dead? Don't try to threaten me with Young Master Ye; I won't fall for that."
As he spoke, Qin Zhuo drew a gleaming dagger from his waist, the dagger flashing coldly in the dim light.
He walked towards Li Ruoyan step by step, his steps steady and powerful, each step seeming to tread on Li Ruoyan's heart.
Li Ruoyan shivered instantly, fear engulfing her like a tidal wave.
Her face was as pale as paper, and her legs felt weak.
She pleaded with Li Haisheng, "Are you just going to watch Qin Zhuo kill me? Don't forget Young Master Ye's orders."
Li Hai really didn't want to plead for her. Looking at Li Ruoyan's annoying appearance, he felt a burning hatred in his heart.
But remembering Young Master Ye's instructions, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask, "Qin Zhuo, could you...?"
Qin Zhuo snorted impatiently, interrupting Li Hai directly: "Shut up!"
After saying that, Qin Zhu put away his dagger, didn't even glance at Li Ruoyan and Li Hai again, and resolutely left alone.
He hasn't found a suitable gift for Xiaoyouzi yet. Without this woman by his side, he can finally find one.
I wonder if I can find a suitable gift here?
Little Yuzu has no shortage of clothes and jewelry; her space is overflowing with them.
Li Ruoyan watched Qin Zhuo walk further and further away until he disappeared from sight, and the resentment in her heart burned like wildfire.
She spat viciously in the direction Qin Zhuo had left.
Then he ordered Li Hai, who was standing to the side, "As soon as we get back to the base, I'm going to complain to Young Master Ye. Brother Li, you have to vouch for me. I'll make him pay the price!"
Li Hai didn't respond immediately. Instead, he stared coldly at Li Ruoyan and questioned, "Why did you push me just now?"
Upon seeing this, Li Ruoyan instantly adopted a pitiful and helpless demeanor.
Her eyes were red-rimmed, and tears welled up in them, as if they might fall at any moment.
She twisted the hem of her clothes with both hands, her voice trembling with tears.
"Brother Li, I really didn't mean to. The situation was too critical at the time. The zombies suddenly rushed out, and I panicked. My mind went blank, and I had no idea what I did. I really didn't mean to push you. Please forgive me this time."
She looked exactly like a weak woman who had suffered a great injustice.
However, Li Hai remained calm and composed as he watched the beautiful woman in front of him shed tears.
He frowned slightly. "Sorry, your act won't work on me at all. Don't think you can get away with playing the victim. If you keep courting disaster and don't listen to me, I won't care about you anymore if anything happens."
"Just like Qin Zhuo said, I can't guarantee what might happen in this dangerous place. Don't blame me for being ruthless then."
After saying that, Li Hai ignored Li Ruoyan's performance and turned to walk in the other direction.
As he walked away, he tossed out a sentence: "Keep up with me, or I won't be responsible for you."
As Li Ruoyan lay on the ground, she looked at Li Hai's merciless back and gritted her teeth in hatred.
But at this moment she was isolated and helpless, and dared not really stay in this dangerous place alone.
She gritted her teeth, her expression instantly shifting from pitiful to resentful. Dragging her body, which was staggering from the pain, she struggled to her feet and followed Li Hai step by step.
She secretly vowed in her heart: when she returned to the base, she would not let any of those who had humiliated her and disrespected her get away with it.
In the days that followed, the rescue team underwent a significant transformation.
Li Hai completely stopped showing Li Ruoyan the care he used to give her, as if she were just an ordinary member of the team.
In stark contrast, he showed great care and concern for Qin Zhuo, his savior.
Li Ruoyan saw all of this.
Although she was filled with resentment and unwillingness, she dared not act recklessly or cause any trouble as before.
