Chapter 708 The Eve of the Great Battle
For the next two days, Li Shurou and Han Shuo did not speak to each other.
Clearly, she was still sulking, but fortunately, she didn't mention what happened that day to anyone else. Although she was dissatisfied, she kept Han Shuo's secret.
...
This abnormal behavior was naturally noticed by the fat man very quickly.
He frowned, found Han Shuo, and asked.
"What's going on between you and my wife? Lately, I've been feeling like the way she looks at you is a bit strange."
"Well……"
To be honest, Han Shuo didn't want to explain too much, but worried that the fat man would overthink things, he still had to say a few words to reassure him.
"Hey, it's nothing. It's just that Shurou and I had a little disagreement a couple of days ago when we were discussing something. It's nothing serious."
"Oh, okay."
The fat man glanced at Han Shuo with a strange look and added with a hint of disbelief.
"I'll try to talk to her later. We're all family, why should she get really angry?"
"Um."
Han Shuo smiled and nodded, saying nothing more, and the matter was thus resolved by deception.
Watching the fat man's departing figure, his eyes suddenly turned melancholy.
He gently touched the syringe stained with blue liquid in his pocket and muttered to himself.
"well……"
"Regardless of the outcome of this great battle, I'm afraid I..."
...
And just like that, two days passed by in the blink of an eye.
On this day, the city gates of Ice City suddenly opened, and a soldier rushed in anxiously from outside.
The soldier shouted as he pushed open Qingyu's door.
"Commander, something terrible has happened! The zombie king's army has appeared within our warning range!"
"What!?"
Qingyu suddenly stood up from the chair.
They've appeared within the warning range? What does that mean? It means the Zombie King will definitely be able to reach this Ice City within a day.
I glanced down at the time; it was around 3 p.m.
He felt that, if things went smoothly, the big battle would begin tomorrow morning, or even tonight.
He paced back and forth in the room for a while, then, with an extremely serious expression on his face, he gave the order.
"Call all the scouts back. We're prepared to hold this ice city! And..."
"Notify everyone here to prepare for battle! A major battle is about to begin!"
"Yes, Commander!"
The soldiers quickly left the room. Qingyu turned to look out the window, sighed, and muttered to herself with a touch of melancholy.
"well……"
"Tonight will probably be a sleepless night."
...
At the same time, Han Shuo and his group also quickly received this information.
Inside the ice villa, everyone sat together, their faces displaying a complex mix of emotions.
They had long been well prepared for this great battle, but... when the day was about to arrive, tension and unease still filled their entire being.
...
"Hoo--".
Taking a deep breath, Han Shuo tried his best to calm himself down before speaking.
"Alright, alright, stop looking so gloomy. No matter how this battle ends, let's enjoy our time together tonight!"
As soon as the voice fell, the easygoing fat man quickly composed himself and shouted along from the side.
"Yes, yes, yes, what's the use of worrying? We might as well use this last bit of time to think about happy things."
At this point, Lao Wu and his group also began to cheer and jeer.
"Damn it, it's just the Zombie King. It's not like we've never run into him before. What are we afraid of?"
"That's right, we can't be like the characters in the movies. They're worried before the battle, but we should be happy before the battle!"
"Hello! Hello! Only with a good mindset can you unleash your full potential in battle!"
...
And so, without realizing it, the tense atmosphere on the scene gradually became lively.
Everyone put all their worries aside and gathered together to laugh heartily.
After being persuaded by the fat man, Li Shurou stopped arguing with Han Shuo about the things that had happened before.
After all, tonight might be their last night, and she didn't want everyone to see her unhappy.
The minor misunderstanding between the two ended there, and as usual, smiles appeared on their faces...
...
These happy times always pass so quickly. In the blink of an eye, night gradually fell. Chen Hai stood up from the sofa and spoke kindly to everyone.
"Xiao Shuo, Xiao Pang, you two chat for a while, I'll go make dinner for everyone."
After he finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the kitchen.
Washing vegetables, picking vegetables, cutting vegetables...
Chen Hai took every step very seriously.
He hoped to showcase his best culinary skills tonight.
After all, as a support staff member in the team, this was all he could offer Han Shuo and the others...
...
After a sumptuous dinner, everyone was thoroughly satisfied.
Next, they saw soldiers hurrying around outside through the window; clearly, the defensive preparations for the major battle had begun.
Nevertheless, Han Shuo and his group ignored it.
They remained in their ice villa, wanting only to spend this precious time with their closest family members.
...
Night deepened.
The moon in the night sky looks exceptionally round tonight.
Before we knew it, the entire ice city seemed to have become incredibly quiet.
After carrying various large defensive weapons onto the ice wall, the soldiers returned to their homes.
Everyone here is cherishing the most precious time of tonight.
They may have no family members or children who have survived to this day.
However, their brothers are the most important people to them.
...
The ordinary survivors also began to gather in large numbers in the square.
They sat in an orderly fashion around a campfire, hands clasped together, eyes closed, silently making wishes in their hearts.
If they win this battle, they can live; but if they lose, everyone here will die...
At this moment, whether people are of Asian, Caucasian, or Black race, racial distinctions have long since disappeared.
A bowl of porridge and a bowl of hot soup brought them closer together...
...
In a corner of Ice City, Lenn was joking and playing with the mercenaries.
They shouted loudly, very loudly...
It's clear that even these people, who once lived lives of constant danger, are starting to feel tense tonight...
The white-haired man called the silver-haired man and the others back. Laughter and cheerful voices could be heard from inside the house from time to time...
During this sleepless night, everyone tried every possible way to relieve the pressure in their hearts, and gathered together with their closest relatives and friends...
