"don't want……"
"Why……"
Bai Louyue was awakened from a nightmare again. He sat back on the bed, with big drops of cold sweat dripping down his forehead and sliding down his neck. He gasped for breath. After closing his eyes, his mind was full of Xu Bai being surrounded by a group of zombies, biting them and asking him heartbreakingly why.
Why?
He didn't know either. Bai Louyue opened his eyes and looked at his hands.
This seems to be a subconscious behavior.
When the zombies were about to catch up with them, he wanted to stay alive. That belief made him subconsciously push Xu Bai back and push him towards the group of zombies that were chasing him relentlessly.
In the tenth year of the apocalypse, they had lived together for four or five years, but life in the apocalypse was too hard, and they often went hungry for several meals.
This time, if they hadn't heard that there were some supplies, they wouldn't have rushed over to fight for them and attracted a tide of zombies.
The end of the world is too hard and tiring. He believes that Xu Bai’s spirit in heaven will thank him, right?
Bai Louyue got up, found a basin, packed up Xu Bai's only one or two sets of clothes and burned them for her.
"I hope you will be reborn into a good family and live happily in the future."
Bai Louyue picked up some of Xu Bai's miscellaneous items and was about to throw them into the brazier, but when he saw the clothes that had already started to burn, he felt reluctant.
He put his things in the cabinet.
After the fire in the basin burned out, he placed the basin under the bed.
After doing all this, he continued to rest and lay on the bed, but he fell asleep slowly.
This was the first week of his escape from the zombie tide. After that, Bai Louyue dreamed of Xu Bai every night after falling asleep. He dreamed that she questioned him with hatred on her face. Every time he was awakened by a nightmare, he would get up and burn one of Xu Bai's things, as if this would make him feel at ease.
But things will eventually burn out, and living in the apocalypse, things are already scarce.
Soon, Bai Louyue burned all of Xu Bai's things. He thought that now that everything was gone, he could sleep well.
In the past, after burning something, Bai Louyue would be able to fall asleep again after lying down for an hour or two, but what he didn't expect was that after there was nothing to burn, he was awakened and could not fall asleep again.
This night.
Bai Louyue tossed and turned as usual, but the difference was that Qin Tian came back.
Xu Bai’s “friend”, the two say they are friends, but can the relationship between men and women really transcend gender?
Bai Louyue didn't believe it.
Not only did he quarrel with Xu Bai over Qin Tian's affairs, but Xu Bai also became indifferent to Qin Tian because of this. But as a man, he could see the little tricks in Qin Tian's mind. Qin Tian had no interest in Xu Bai at all, and he could even kick his head off and use it as a bench.
When Qin Tian comes back, he will definitely ask about Xu Bai's whereabouts.
Can he hide it for a while, or for a lifetime?
Bai Louyue kept his eyes open and did not sleep all night.
As he expected, the next day after Qin Tian returned to the base, he came to ask about Xu Bai's whereabouts.
"She took people to the south to search for supplies near the base."
Bai Louyue put his hands behind his back and pinched his fingers together. He was a little nervous. In the past, Qin Tian was the one who interrogated people in the base.
He lied, and he was worried that Qin Tian could see through it.
He said they were going in the opposite direction, and they encountered the Zombie Dynasty on the way to Shangjing City.
Qin Tian looked at Bai Louyue, thinking of what he heard others whispering yesterday. He walked forward with a stern face and grabbed Bai Louyue's clothes, "You are lying!"
Bai Louyue panicked, but still said, "I don't know what you are talking about."
"Why would I lie?"
"She's my fiancée, why would I lie?"
Qin Tian loosened his grip and patted his clothes. "It would be better as you said. When will she come back?"
"It's very dangerous to go south. How do you know when she will come back?"
"Didn't it take you a month or two to go out and collect supplies this time?"
Qin Tian always felt that something was wrong with Bai Louyue, but he couldn't put his finger on it. He glanced at Bai Louyue and snorted coldly, "You knew it was dangerous, but you still let her lead the team alone. You'd better hope nothing happens to her."
"Useless man."
Qin Tian spat and strode away.
Bai Louyue was very angry.
But he couldn't touch Qin Tian, a highly powerful combat mutant who could bring a lot of benefits and security to the base. Moreover, it was difficult for him to guarantee how many people in the base would only listen to him and how many would listen to Xu Bai or Qin Tian.
After February.
Qin Tian had been waiting for the news of Xu Bai's return for a long time. He was worried that something had happened to Xu Bai, so he proposed to lead the team to find Xu Bai and search for supplies along the way, but he was strongly opposed by Bai Louyue.
"The base is short of skilled personnel. If you send another group, who will protect the base's safety?"
"If you go out, maybe she has already returned, and you two staggered together, or is this an excuse you're looking for to take people away from the base?"
Bai Louyue couldn't explain why, but he didn't want Qin Tian to go looking for Xu Bai, even though he knew the possibility of finding him was extremely small.
Qin Tianqi smiled and said, "Do I need a reason to leave the base?"
Qin Tian slammed the table, and the atmosphere around him became very awkward. At the conference table, some people said they didn't need to go out, while others said they wanted to go out and look for Xu Bai.
"Logically, if Xu Bai is safe, she should have returned from Shangjing City, but she hasn't returned yet. It looks like she's in danger. The number of zombies has been surging recently, and I'm afraid a new wave of zombies will arrive soon. We need a lot of troops to defend the base. We can't even lose our last home."
Qin Tian stared at Bai Louyue intently, "Did Xu Bai go to Shangjing City?"
"Qin Tian, don't you know that Base Commander Bai and Xu Bai went there together, but they got separated, and Base Commander Bai came back first."
Bai Louyue kicked towards the outspoken man, and when he felt a gust of wind lingering around him, he reacted very quickly, stood up from the chair and took a few steps back to avoid Qin Tian's sneak attack.
Bai Louyue and Qin Tian started fighting!
Everyone evacuated from the conference table and even left the conference room to see the lively discussion going on inside.
"Go to Shangjing City, you told me you were going south, Bai Louyue, why are you so guilty?"
"Also, why didn't you look for her after you got lost?"
"For the past two months, you've been staying at the base, with the house defending you and your subordinates looking for supplies. You've been hiding in the base peacefully. Have you ever thought about how scared Xu Bai is out there alone? Have you ever thought about whether she's in danger out there alone?"
"Xu Bai must be blind to fall for you."
Qin Tian punched Bai Louyue hard in the face, but after hearing these words, Bai Louyue seemed to be inspired to fight back and punched back.
"What qualifications do you have to say these things to me? Is she blind to fall for me?"
"Oh……"
"Even if she were blind she wouldn't even look at you."
