Chapter 658 As long as you're still here
Hu Fei found a safe place. It was quiet all around, without even the sound of zombies. We were not far from May Park, but it was pitch black at night, and there were no bright stars tonight, so we couldn't see what was going on there. Li Sanyang's men were also lying in ambush in May Park.
However, not long after, we suddenly saw many car lights turn on in May Park, and all of them headed towards the research institute. It seemed they had received the evacuation order, which was good news for us.
Wu Shuang and I sat on the roof of the five-story bungalow, looking in the direction of May Park. I asked, "What exactly happened back then?"
Wu Shuang knew what I was asking and shook his head, saying, "I don't know. I don't know what happened either. That morning, I felt like I was really dead, but I don't know how. I don't know how much time passed before I woke up. It felt like I had slept for a very, very long time."
“When I woke up, I was very happy and wanted to go find you, but when I went down there I found that the whole scenic area was deserted. I didn’t know where you went or where I could find you, so I stayed up there by myself for a while.”
I asked, "And then? How did you end up at Longhu?"
Wu Shuang said, "At the time, I had no choice. I was living alone in the scenic area, and there was nothing left to eat. I had to go out and look for food, and also see if I could find you. After I left the scenic area, I realized something, something I still don't understand."
Curious, I asked, "What is it?"
“I’m suddenly not afraid of zombies anymore.” Wu Shuang turned to look at me and said. She thought I didn’t understand, so she explained to me, “Well, before, if I stood in front of a zombie, it would definitely pounce on me, right? But ever since I died once, the zombies aren’t afraid of me anymore. It’s like they can’t see me or hear me at all. Isn’t that strange?”
I nodded and said, "It is indeed quite strange, but you are not the only one with this problem. I know two other people who have this problem as well."
Wu Shuang exclaimed in surprise, "Really! Where are they? Do they know what's going on?"
I said, "They're in Jiajiang right now. I'm not entirely sure why, but it's a good thing, not a bad thing either."
Wu Shuang nodded and said, "Yes, it is indeed a good thing. I was so excited when I found out about this. I was thinking that after finding you, I could lead you to a bright future! But I didn't know where you all went. But now it's good that you're back."
Looking at the smile on her face, I felt a sense of peace in my heart.
I then asked, "And then? What happened next?"
Wu Shuang said, "Later, after I discovered that I wasn't afraid of zombies, I moved to Hangzhou and started wandering around. I met a lot of people and saved a lot of people. Then, I inexplicably brought those people to Longhu. Someone suggested that we stay here in Longhu, since the environment is pretty good. So I brought people here to stay."
"There's not much to say about what happened after that. After we cleared out the zombies around Longhu, more and more survivors wanted to join our team. I don't know how to explain what happened after that."
"Take your time, we have plenty of time now," I said with a smile, putting my arm around her shoulder.
After that, Wu Shuang began to tell me in detail what had happened in Longhu. I listened carefully and understood her relationship with those people.
Chu Fei and Li Sanyang were indeed saved by her, but both of them were ungrateful, especially Chu Fei. This guy used his sweet talk to persuade Wu Shuang and made Wu Shuang think that she was not capable of managing the entire Longhu Group. Then he gladly took over the entire Longhu Group business created by Wu Shuang.
Next, from Wu Shuang's words, I realized Chu Fei's conspiracy.
Before he could finish, he began to target Wu Shuang's confidants. In just one month, people around Wu Shuang disappeared or died. Later, Li Sanyang was also completely targeted by Chu Fei. In a fit of anger, he left Longhu and began to take revenge on Longhu.
Although Wu Shuang didn't explain it very clearly, I understood. There were many things that Wu Shuang didn't understand at all, but the difference in Chu Fei's attitude before and after was enough to explain everything.
After Wu Shuang finished telling me her story, she asked me, "What about you? I've been looking for you for a long time this past year. Where have you been?"
I said, "I went to Jiajiang, I went to Mingzhu, and then after I found out you were still alive, I came back to find you."
Wu Shuang said, "Could you tell me in detail? My mouth is all dry from talking..."
Before she could finish speaking, I kissed her, silencing her.
She hurriedly pushed me away, her eyes filled with fear, yet also a hint of joy. She asked in a panic, "What... what are you going to do?"
I smiled and said, "How about we talk about my business after I take you to Jiajiang? As for now, it's getting late, we should go to sleep."
"Ah! Go to sleep!" Wu Shuang's face immediately turned red.
Seeing her expression, I smiled and patted her head, saying, "What are you thinking? I've been looking for you all day, I don't have the energy to do anything else. I just want to get a good night's sleep."
"Oh, I see," Wu Shuang said, leaning against me again.
And so, the night passed quietly.
...
I slept soundly until dawn, only to find that Wu Shuang was gone from beside me. I suddenly became anxious, jumped out of bed, and called out, "Wu Shuang!"
"I'm here, I'm here." Wu Shuang walked in from outside the door, smiling at me.
I breathed a sigh of relief, my tension eased. What I feared most was that it was all just a dream and that Wu Shuang wasn't actually there.
She came to my side and said with a smile, "What, are you afraid I'll disappear?"
I hugged her and said, "Yes, I'm afraid you'll just disappear without a word, like you did a year ago."
She laughed and said, "There's no such thing as just disappearing without a word. You left without a word, okay? If you had waited a few more days back then, maybe we could have stayed together forever. In the end, it's all your fault! Your fault, your fault!"
I laughed and said, "Yes, yes, it's my fault, it's my fault, it's all good as long as you're still here."
