Chapter 140 Gu Chao’s Explanation
Lu Ming took the car, stepped on the accelerator and rushed out.
The hotel was not far away, and she arrived there in about twenty minutes.
After parking the car, she quickly took out the car keys and walked into the hotel.
The hotel had been cleared by the base, so there were not many zombies, and she entered the lobby unhindered.
I walked around the lobby and didn't see anyone. Just as I was about to call Gu Chao, I heard a noise coming from the second floor.
She went to the second floor and saw that the doors of the rooms on both sides of the corridor were wide open. She could see the situation inside at a glance: it was empty and messy.
When she reached the middle, she finally saw a room with its door ajar, and she walked over quickly.
However, just as she was about to push the door open, she heard a familiar voice coming from inside.
"Nian Yao! Don't leave."
Gu Chao?
Her expression changed and she stopped moving abruptly, wanting to hear what he would say.
"Why did you call me over here?" It was Xue Nianyao's voice.
"I have something to tell you."
"Then why did you call Lu Ming?!" She seemed a little agitated and her voice immediately rose.
"Because I want to make things clear with Lulu in front of you to avoid conflicts between you two in the future. After all, she and I have been through thick and thin together for so long, and she is a very important person to me."
"She's important to you, but what about me?"
Luming frowned and held his breath.
She wanted to know too.
"You? Can't you feel it?"
“…What do you feel?”
"Nian Yao, I like you."
These four words seemed to hit Lu Ming's heart. Her mind went blank in an instant, her ears were buzzing, heat rose, her eyes suddenly turned red, and the bitterness in her heart rose up. She subconsciously bit her lower lip.
She raised her head and peeked through the crack in the door, and saw two pairs of hands clasped together.
The people inside didn't notice anyone outside the door at all and continued talking to themselves.
"Are you serious?"
"Hehe, why would I lie to you?" He seemed to chuckle.
"So, what about Luming?"
"Her? I originally thought I liked her, but after meeting you, I finally understood what love really meant. Then I realized that my feelings for her were nothing more than a companionship cultivated through hardship."
"Really? But I see she has deep feelings for you, and she seems to be very hostile to me. What if she objects to us being together?"
"That's why I called Lulu over. I plan to talk to her face to face. What if she doesn't agree? I'm the captain after all. If she can't figure it out, or even goes against you, then I'll have no choice but to let her go. Don't worry, she has nowhere else to go, so she'll agree."
"Well...then why are you calling out 'deer, deer, deer' so affectionately!"
"Sorry, I'm just used to it. Don't call me that again, okay? Don't be angry."
The two people inside the door said something sticky again, but Lu Ming could no longer hear it. They seemed to be still hugging each other, and Lu Ming could not see clearly.
She bit the back of her hand tightly, not wanting to cry out loud. Tears rolled down her cheeks like beads with broken strings and dripped onto the ground.
It was as if all her strength had been drained away, and she didn't have the courage to push open the door and rush in to question the man.
Besides, he had already explained it so clearly, what else could she ask?
Her vision blurred and she slowly backed away.
It wasn't until her back hit the wall that she reacted. She turned around and ran downstairs quickly, heading out of the hotel.
She ran a long distance in panic before she stopped. She strode forward, wiping her tears with the back of her hand and crying.
My heart ached.
Is that really the case? Is that how he sees himself?
No wonder he had to rescue that woman several times before.
She doesn't need him to drive her away, she will leave on her own!
She never wanted to see him again.
However, at this moment, a pair of hands suddenly reached out from behind her and hugged her!
"ah!"
She was startled, screamed and struggled.
Then she heard that damn familiar voice yelling, "Lulu! It's me!"
She suddenly stopped, gasping for breath, and then began to struggle again: "Let me go!"
However, the person behind her hugged her tightly and asked anxiously, "What's wrong with you?"
Lu Ming thrust his right elbow back hard, hitting the man behind him in the ribs. He groaned, but still didn't let go.
Lu Ming's nose felt sore, and tears began to fall uncontrollably. She stopped moving, her throat choked: "Why did you come to see me again? I heard everything!"
Gu Chao behind her turned her around, facing him, frowned and asked, "What did you hear?"
Lu Ming was furious. She broke free from his grip on her shoulder and said, "Everything! You said you liked Xue Nianyao, and to me... I'm just... a companion."
She couldn't continue, and Gu Chao grabbed her wrist, "Okay, I get it."
Seeing her crying so sadly, his heart was broken too.
He looked anxiously into Luming's eyes, "Whatever you just heard or saw, it wasn't me!"
Lu Ming was stunned for a moment, and asked with a heavy nasal voice: "You are, what do you mean?"
"Follow me and be quiet."
He took her hand and pulled her back.
Lu Ming followed him in a daze.
However, when she got to the point where she could see the hotel, she saw a man squatting on the side of the road.
Xue Wenxing?
Why is he here?
There were two people lying at his feet, and he was trying to wake them up, "Hey! Wake up!"
After shaking for a long time, the two men didn't react.
He cursed: "Damn! These two losers! Could it be that they were discovered by that woman?"
Then he turned around and tried to run towards the base, but fell to the ground the next second.
Lu Ming turned around and saw the tranquilizer gun in Gu Chao's hand. He was a little confused: "What on earth is going on?"
Gu Chao asked Lu Ming to put away the gun, then gently wiped the tears from Lu Ming's face with his thumb and sighed, "Little fool."
Lu Ming turned his face away and didn't look at him angrily.
"Let's go, there's no time. I'll explain to you on the way." He took her hand and walked towards the car she drove over.
"Where are you going?"
Gu Chao didn't answer. He got into the car and turned on the communication: "Xue Wenxing is at the Xidun Hotel. Bring him over and take care of the others."
"receive."
Starting the car, he looked at the silly Lu Ming beside him and said, "Do you remember what we saw at the toll booth in City G?"
"Yeah. A pileup."
"At the time, I suspected that there had been a base in City G, but a zombie outbreak occurred inside the base, which is why they mutated during their collective escape."
"But it's also possible that those citizens were trying to leave the city through this road at the beginning of the apocalypse, got into car accidents, and mutated in their cars."
"I thought so, until I saw the diamond-shaped annual inspection icons on the front windshields of several cars."
"What happened to the icon?"
"The normal vehicle inspection icon is square, but the military inspection icon is diamond-shaped."
"Ah, you mean..."
"Yes. Even though none of the drivers were wearing military uniforms and the vehicles weren't green, the logo still gave them away. The people in the cars were most likely soldiers in disguise, but they were in a hurry and forgot this detail."
"So, these soldiers are likely related to the military base."
"That's right. So when I saw the same logo on Chen Weiyang and his team's SUV, I told everyone to go rescue them."
"If they didn't just pick up a car on the street, then it must be related to the disguised unit or the base they once established."
Is that so?
Lu Ming couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. It turned out that others were so observant, but she was so busy that she didn't know what to think...
