Chapter 339: The Siege in the Apocalypse (16)
Is this male lead some kind of crazy character? And he's walking towards her, getting closer and closer, and the smell of blood is getting stronger and stronger.
"System, the male lead is having a relapse, are you going to do anything about it?"
System: [...] How is it supposed to be managed? It's impossible to manage! The data is getting out of control.
It's already so shocked it's numb, okay? This male protagonist's mother must be sick. She quickly shut down her host's sense of smell. She had already shut it down once before, but this time it was reopened because he ate too many crystal cores.
"Promise me you'll come along."
Wen Yan: "..."
As she spoke, she took the dagger and slashed again. Wen Wan snatched the dagger away and threw it away, saying, "Are you crazy? Follow me if you want, but don't come looking for me if you die."
He left angrily.
Wen Wan hadn't been this angry in a long time. What kind of weirdo was this? She simply couldn't imagine what the male lead was thinking or why he would do such a thing.
Gu Yan bandaged his arm and followed behind Wen Wan.
Wen Wan: "Stay at least five meters away from me."
Gu Yan didn't say anything, and afterwards he kept a distance of five meters from Wen Wan, no more and no less, all the way.
After that, Wen Wan directly used Gu Yan as her henchman, heading straight to the zombie-infested areas. She watched Gu Yan clear out the zombie hordes and even sent him to rescue people. She was just so annoyed. The male lead was having an episode, and she had to endure it every day. Having such a grown man by her side and not being able to eat him would drive even a zombie crazy. Wen Wan was increasingly impressed with her own self-control.
But how long can this self-control last? Wen Wan doesn't know.
She has to drive the male lead away.
Wen Wan started acting up, ordering the male lead around like a servant and humiliating and tormenting him in various ways, but Gu Yan didn't react much. Wen Wan even went so far as to glue the male lead's buttocks together as a prank, but the male lead just changed his pants and continued walking.
As for where the new pants came from, who knows?
It also made the male protagonist see that his nature was hard to change, killing zombies, digging out crystal cores, and striking with a swift stroke.
As it turned out, the male lead was even more ruthless and capable of killing than she was. Wen Wan could even foresee whether he would do the same when he dug out her crystal core.
"I'll do these things from now on, you don't need to."
Gu Yan washed the dirt off his hands and then said, "And you can no longer consume crystal cores."
"Then what should I eat?"
“I will hunt for you, but if you consume the crystal cores, you will eventually lose yourself, and I must stop you.”
Wen Yan: "..."
Is he really thinking of redeeming her? If this were Wen Wan in the past, she would definitely have written 200,000 words of redemption literature, but when he is the protagonist, this is outrageous.
She can even tell what the male protagonist is trying to do; he's trying to stop himself from becoming the zombie king, which, in another sense, is also saving the world.
hehe.
After that, Wen Wan didn't get a single crystal core. Gu Yan hunted all sorts of pheasants, rabbits, and other wild game for Wen Wan, and she endured the nausea and ate them. She only ate one meal every few days. Now that her cultivation level was different, she was more resistant to hunger.
Gu Yan's strength also grew stronger, and Wen Wan even watched him advance to level six.
It can be said to be the most powerful among humans, breaking the highest level five limit. Even when facing powerful zombies, it kills them with every move, aiming directly at the zombie's head.
She even washes her own clothes and covers herself with a blanket at night, even though she doesn't need to sleep at all.
One day, Wen Wan suddenly asked the system, "Why do I feel like the male lead's behavior suggests he might have a crush on me?"
system:【……】
"I'm a zombie! This male lead can't possibly have such a heavy taste, right? Besides, isn't he my sister's partner?"
System: [Hehe.]
Wen Wan: "Why are you being sarcastic?"
System: [Hehehe.]
Wen Yan: "..."
This system is seriously malfunctioning.
Ever since she made this guess about the male lead, Wen Wan felt that something was off about him.
"Captain Gu!"
Gu Yan was doing his work when he heard the sound and looked over. "What's wrong?"
"You know there's a difference between life and death, right?"
Gu Yan: "???"
"What's the meaning?"
"It doesn't mean anything. It just means that if I die and you're still alive, we shouldn't be together."
Gu Yan: "Does this still exist now? Most of humanity is dead, but it's still alive."
Wen Yan: "..."
...
More than a month passed like this, until Wu Yong finally contacted Gu Yan, breaking the strange tranquility.
When Gu Yan received the message from the communicator, he was butchering a rabbit that he had just caught for Wen Wan. Blood stained Gu Yan's hands. Wen Wan was bored and took a closer look. As expected of the male lead, his hands were also beautiful, with long and slender fingers. If this were in her world, he could apply to be a hand model.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Yan frowned, then took a bowl to collect the chicken blood, and chopped the meat into pieces and put it into a large bowl.
"What's wrong?"
Wu Yong said that Lin Fulong had gathered his superhumans to try to seize control of the safe zone.
"That's incredibly audacious! They're just taking advantage of your absence to bully your men. You should go and scare that bastard to death."
Gu Yan looked at Wen Wan, who smiled and said, "Did I say something wrong?"
"I will go back."
Wen Wan: Is there really such a good thing?
“You’re coming back with me,” Gu Yan continued, a statement that greatly shocked Wen Wan.
"What? You want me to go back to the safe zone with you? Are you crazy? I'm a zombie, and there are countless ordinary people there without any superpowers. Aren't you afraid I'll lose control and kill someone if you let me go back with you? Wouldn't you want to kill me then?"
"I won't let you kill anyone."
What guarantees do you have?
"My life."
Wen Yan: "..."
Is this guy crazy? Is this really crazy? Why is this happening? Is the male lead really so infatuated with her that he's gone mad and can't extricate himself? Otherwise, how do you explain all this? Isn't this the cold-hearted, ruthless, and eternally rational, beautiful, strong, and tragic male lead in the system's data?
Could it be that it has been possessed?
"I'm not going, I'd rather die than go."
"You are already dead."
Wen Yan: "..."
In the end, Wen Wan still went with Gu Yan. Why? Naturally, it was because Gu Yan started his old tricks again, cutting his own arm. Who taught him to force himself by torturing himself?
Moreover, the cuts went deeper and deeper, even reaching the bone. The system said that if the cuts continued, the protagonist would become disabled and might even have to have his limbs amputated.
Wen Wan had no choice but to go along. "I must leave after I've settled things." Before leaving, Wen Wan emphasized, "Also, you can't expose my identity. You must send Chu Mingyao out. I can't see her."
That sister-obsessed guy would probably go crazy if he found out his sister wasn't dead.
If she finds out her sister has become a zombie, she'll probably go even crazier; who knows what she might do.
"Okay." Gu Yan agreed. From now on, you only need to spend time with me; no one else can get close to you.
...
Back in the safe zone, Wen Wan looked at this familiar place and felt completely overwhelmed. She had escaped and returned, returned and left, left and returned again; it was as if her fate was intertwined with her own.
Wu Yong was waiting at the door when he saw his captain was injured and quickly asked, "What happened? Did you encounter a zombie? What kind of zombie could hurt you?"
Gu Yan: "It's nothing, it can be dealt with simply."
Wu Yong then looked at the person next to his captain, "Who are you?"
"Wen Jie."
"You're Wen Wan? Captain, you..."
This Wen Wan might not even be human! How did we bring her back? What exactly does our captain want to do?
Afterwards, without even going through the testing channel, Wu Yong looked at Wen Wan with a complicated expression, even showing some wariness.
Wen Wan smiled at him, and Wu Yong felt that the smile didn't look like that of a zombie. If a zombie could smile so beautifully, then it would be a ghost.
And how could the captain possibly take in zombies? That's absolutely impossible, not even if you beat him to death.
"Captain, shall I have someone arrange accommodations for Miss Wen?"
Gu Yan: "No need, she lives with me."
"What???"
Wen Wan was also somewhat surprised, "Gu Yan, you—"
"You will live with me."
Wen Yan: "..."
Wu Yong, who was standing next to him, felt as if he could see the Milky Way. Is this something that can be seen from Earth?
Could Wen Wan be the captain's girlfriend? Has the captain actually found love? This is even more surprising than the end of the apocalypse. But as his most trusted subordinate, Wu Yong quickly digested this gossip and accepted the situation. He figured Wen Wan couldn't possibly be non-human, since his captain wouldn't date a non-human.
He promptly greeted her, "Hello, sister-in-law."
Wen Yan: "..."
"We're not in that kind of relationship, you've misunderstood."
Gu Yan: "I'll take you back to your room first."
As Wu Yong watched his captain pull Wen Wan away, he quickly gathered a few teammates and spread the news of this shocking event throughout the entire safe zone. Everyone was curious about what kind of person Captain Gu was that could be subdued.
Those who knew Wen Wan were very happy and even wanted to thank her, but Gu Yan stopped them in the end. Wen Wan understood, after all, she was in danger now and she didn't want to get close to too many people.
Afterwards, Gu Yan left to handle matters, and Wen Wan didn't even leave her room. For her own safety and the safety of others, she probably never imagined that she would end up here.
Gu Yan's room was very big. Wen Wan slept on the bed, while Gu Yan slept on the floor. Actually, Wen Wan originally thought they could switch places since she didn't need to sleep there, but Gu Yan absolutely refused.
Finally, the system popped up a message: "He loves her so much."
Wen Yan: "..."
Gu Yan often left early and returned late, which bored Wen Wan. On this day, while Wen Wan was playing rock-paper-scissors with her left and right hands, there was a knock on the door. Wen Wan asked who it was.
"Sister Wen Wan, it's me, Qingqing! Gu Qingqing, do you still remember me?"
"Did you need something?"
"Sister Wen Wan, open the door. I heard you came to the safe zone. We can catch up. I'm quite bored here."
Wen Yan: "..."
"I'm not feeling well."
"Should I call someone from the testing center?" Gu Qingqing asked. Wen Wan refused, but Gu Qingqing insisted on coming in to take a look. In the end, Wen Wan refused to open the door and pretended not to hear, so Gu Qingqing turned and left.
Several more groups of people arrived after that.
They were all acquaintances, and Wen Wan hadn't met any of them. There was no need to meet them; it would only cause too much trouble.
When Gu Yan returned, Wen Wan told him about it, and after that, no one came to see Wen Wan again, which meant that Gu Yan had given the order.
