Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Zombie King (Twenty-Three)
Qin Xiao didn't know how to put it. Recently, his relationship with his sweetheart had progressed rapidly, but his career had suffered a major setback.
Ever since those ten experts arrived during the last zombie attack, his chance to shine was gone, and he was overshadowed. Even several of his former teammates, who had always been loyal to him, left to join the boss.
They're living in someone else's house now, which is understandable, but the idea of your subordinates becoming colleagues is disgusting, as anyone who's been through it knows.
However, Hong Yingying, the daughter of the gang leader Hong Guoqiang, actually advised her to endure it, saying that she was doing it all for the gang, and she kept bothering her.
Furthermore, he often said that as long as he married her, she would be his forever.
That's right, Hung Kwok-keung only has one daughter, Hung Ying-ying. However, this doesn't mean that Hung Kwok-keung's daughter becomes his just because he retired from the government. At least the second-in-command of the government wouldn't agree to that.
Only someone as love-struck as Hong Yingying would say something so naive.
Just as Qin Xiao was having a headache, Hong Yingying came again, her eyes red, and immediately threw herself into his arms.
"Brother Qin Xiao, Nan Wan'er is bullying me again. Look at her."
Qin Xiao got goosebumps from the shout and quickly moved to the side, causing the girl to fall face-first to the ground.
The girl was followed by the hesitant Nan Wan'er.
Nan Wan'er didn't come forward. A clever bird was perched on her shoulder. She looked normal, but her gaze towards Qin Xiao seemed to be scrutinizing him.
That's the gaze one takes when looking at their own possessions.
When Qin Xiao met that gaze, he couldn't help but feel both happy and guilty.
After all, someone had just thrown themselves at him.
"Wan'er, I just dodged it," Qin Xiao stammered as he explained.
Nan Wan'er said with a straight face, "Whether you dodge or not is none of my business. You should help Miss Hong up first. She's covered in mud and might get hurt."
After saying that, Nan Wan'er turned and left.
Hong Yingying was also on the ground, cursing Nan Wan'er as if she had lost her mind.
Qin Xiao chased after her, his head aching, ignoring Hong Yingying who was waiting on the ground for him to pull her up.
What a joke! What if you get scammed by holding hands with her and she tries to extort money from you, then she'll threaten to kill herself and demand to marry you?
Nan Wan'er walked very fast, leaving Qin Xiao behind in the blink of an eye.
Standing on Nan Wan'er's shoulders, Gu Congxin couldn't help but exclaim, "Well done, beautiful girl! Your tea-making skills are getting better and better!"
Nan Wan'er, expressionless, shoved Gu Congxin off the ground: "Are you praising me or insulting me?"
Gu Congxin replied matter-of-factly, "Of course it's to insult you."
Nan Wan'er then kicked Gu Congxin, sending him flying two miles away, where he successfully crashed into a large tree.
Two months have passed since the last zombie attack, and Nan Wan'er has become proficient in using her water-based abilities; at least, she's no longer limited to spitting.
His physical fitness has also improved a lot through training. Unlike before, when he was supposed to kick Gu Congxin away, he ended up doing a split for him instead.
"I heard His Majesty plans to summon another zombie attack tomorrow. What do you think about me killing Qin Xiao tomorrow?" Nan Wan'er stepped forward, picked up Gu Congxin who had fallen from the tree, and asked him in a sinister tone.
If the environment can change a person, then the post-apocalyptic scenario is undoubtedly the most transformative. After all, even after experiencing a palace intrigue scenario, Nan Wan'er was still a complete idiot when she first transmigrated.
But things are different now.
Nan Wan'er has now become a bit of a simpleton with a brain.
At least, we can keep Gu Congxin under our thumb and play with her at our leisure.
So, if you don't improve, you'll get beaten.
For details, please refer to Gu Congxin, who was kicked into a tree.
