Chapter 69 Spoiled Girlfriend VS Obsessive Post-Apocalyptic Boss 15
The afterglow of the setting sun filled the sky with rosy clouds.
Jiang Zhiyi leaned against the railing of the small balcony, gazing blankly at the scenery before her.
If this place weren't so desolate, she would actually like to stay here forever.
In the courtyard downstairs, Chen Wen was making dinner, with her husband... her two husbands helping her, and a greedy little child watching longingly from the side.
She saw Xiaoyue call the child away, and the children started making a ruckus again, running around in the yard.
This is a rare moment of peace in the apocalypse.
"What are you looking at?" Huo Linchuan hugged her from behind, his chin resting on the top of her head.
Huo Linchuan glanced down at the courtyard and his expression became somewhat unnatural.
He took her hand and helped her sit down on the chair.
Huo Linchuan tried to distract her by saying, "Didn't you say you were tired of your nail color? I'll give you a new one."
After saying that, he went into the room and brought out all the necessary tools.
Huo Linchuan held her hand and moved it carefully, as if he were handling a perfect work of art.
Jiang Zhiyi's hands were white and slender, each nail like a scallion, and they looked even more beautiful after being painted with nail polish, exuding an alluring charm.
Every time he applied the ointment, he couldn't help but kiss the back of her hand.
After applying the makeup, Jiang Zhiyi admired it herself and found it to be quite beautiful.
“Praise my hands!” she said proudly.
"How do you want me to praise you? Should I write a two-thousand-word essay for you?"
Huo Linchuan stroked his chin, seemingly deep in thought about the question.
"It's not impossible, but two thousand words is too few! You have to write ten thousand words for me!"
"Sister!" Xiaoyue walked over with something in her hand.
"These are candied grapes we made; we saved a bunch for you."
These days, Chen Wen brings them all sorts of food every few days.
Jiang Zhiyi knew that Chen Wen didn't have many supplies, and there were so many children on her side, so she also brought them some fruit.
"Thank you." She gladly accepted it.
"Then I'll be going now."
Xiaoyue hummed a song and skipped away.
Jiang Zhiyi winked at Huo Linchuan, signaling him to feed her.
With Huo Linchuan around, she naturally wouldn't do it herself.
Free labor is free, so why not use it?
"Hurry up!" Jiang Zhiyi urged him impatiently when he didn't move.
Huo Linchuan smiled as he watched her boss him around with such self-righteousness.
He picked up the candied grapes, which were only coated with a thin layer of sugar, but looked crystal clear, and then—
He took a bite himself.
"Huo Linchuan! This is mine!"
Jiang Zhiyi was furious and reached out to hit him.
He leaned in and kissed her, then pushed the grapes into her mouth.
The sweetness of rock sugar blends with the tartness of grapes, creating a delightful aftertaste.
After a long time, when the bunch of candied grapes was finished, Huo Linchuan still wouldn't let her go.
The two continued.
...
night.
Jiang Zhiyi was strolling in the yard when she passed by the wall and saw Xiaoyue sitting on the ground with her back to her.
She found it strange, so she moved closer.
"Xiaoyue, what are you doing here?" she asked with a smile.
Xiaoyue turned to look at her, her face full of terror, her forehead covered in cold sweat.
"Sister, don't come any closer!"
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Zhiyi saw the zombie hiding in the corner.
The zombie stared menacingly at the person in front of it with its scarlet, deathly eyes, occasionally letting out low growls.
It charged straight at us.
"Xiaoyue!"
Jiang Zhiyi was anxious and quickly ran forward to help Xiaoyue up.
The two turned to run away, but the zombie reached out and grabbed them, scratching several horrific marks on Jiang Zhiyi's right arm.
...
inside the house.
All the healing-type ability users in the team rushed over, but the situation was far from good.
Jiang Zhiyi had already received a painkiller injection and had no feeling in her arm, but her heart was throbbing with a dull pain.
She was having trouble breathing and kept groaning in pain.
"We can only temporarily suppress the zombie virus to prevent it from affecting other parts of the body."
"The best solution now is amputation, to give up the right arm."
Huo Linchuan stood there, his face somber.
Is there really no other way?
"We can't delay any longer. If we miss the best time, we might not even be able to save our lives."
"I don't want to!" Jiang Zhiyi cried out in distress.
Huo Linchuan knew how much she loved her hands and took meticulous care of them every day.
"Zhizhi, let's save our lives first. From now on, I'll be your support. I'll be there for you no matter what you want to do, okay?"
"I don't want to!" she cried.
Jiang Zhiyi was always very resistant; she wouldn't even allow anyone to get close to her, including Huo Linchuan.
"Just kill me already, I don't want my limbs amputated!"
Huo Linchuan's eyes were filled with heartache. "Zhizhi, be good."
The atmosphere grew increasingly tense, but neither side was willing to back down.
The door was suddenly pushed open forcefully, and Jiang Yue rushed over, looking travel-worn.
He glanced at Huo Linchuan, then looked at Jiang Zhiyi, whose face was streaked with tears—
"We're going to the Joint Base Hospital in City C."
