Chapter 7: The Cold-Hearted Sentinel's Little Guide: It's so cold, hug me.
A man's words are domineering and carry a strong sense of possessiveness.
As a guide who cannot protect herself, Gu Shanshan has no choice but to compromise in this cruel society where the strong prey on the weak and only the fittest survive.
It's as if they are offering themselves as sacrifices to Gong Ye in order to seek protection.
After watching Gong Ye carry Gu Shanshan's body and disappear into the elevator, Lin Donghai, a high-ranking official in the south, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
She turned her head and looked at Wen Ziting with a reproachful gaze.
"Ziting, didn't you say that you were determined to get the Chief? How come the Chief is now hugging a guide who looks like he was picked out of some garbage dump?"
If Wen Ziting hadn't already made a boast, would he have dared to stop Gong Ye when he saw him carrying a low-ranking guide?
Lin Donghai and Wen Ziting's father had a power-money relationship, so the two families were quite familiar with each other.
Wen Ziting had just seen how Gong Ye protected Gu Shanshan, and he was already furious.
Adding to the incident on the plane, it was a case of old grudges compounded by new ones.
She wanted nothing more than to rush up and tear that bitch Gu Shanshan, who stole her man, to pieces.
She said in a very unpleasant tone, "It's all because of that bitch Gu Shanshan who seduce Gong Ye in front of me. Otherwise, he wouldn't be in this situation now."
"Then do you still have the confidence to win back the Chief's heart?"
Lin Haidong only cares about this.
Everyone knows that Gong Ye is the younger brother of the King of the Empire, and also a top-tier Dark Sentinel in the Sentinel Tower.
In this life, whoever climbs up to Gong Ye's towering tree will have a smooth career.
Wen Ziting is the link that connects them to Gong Ye.
As long as Wen Ziting becomes Gong Ye's guide, isn't he afraid of not becoming Gong Ye's wife in the future?
"have!"
Wen Ziting's answer was firm.
Whether for his own sake or for the Wen family's, he had to become Gong Ye's guide and marry Gong Ye.
"Okay, how can I help you? With the medicine?"
Lin Haidong inquired.
“No.” Wen Ziting rejected the suggestion without even thinking. “I am the doctor accompanying us this time. Medicines are always strictly regulated by the Empire. We cannot poison Gu Shanshan with medicine, otherwise everyone will suspect me.”
He was someone who had to maintain a perfect image in front of Gong Ye.
"What else can we do?"
Lin Haidong paced back and forth irritably. "Your father should have told you that the reason why the zombie virus broke out at the gene experiment base and caused such a large-scale infection is largely related to us."
"You must get into the Chief's bed as soon as possible and make him stop investigating."
"Otherwise, both of our families will be finished."
Wen Ziting's father was the Minister of Finance, while Lin Haidong was a high-ranking official of the empire stationed in the south.
After the zombie virus outbreak, the Empire immediately allocated hundreds of millions of dollars to fund research on a vaccine.
The genetic samples of the zombie virus are still there, and the laboratory research data has not been destroyed.
Developing a vaccine should theoretically be very simple.
However, most of the funds allocated this time were embezzled by Lin Haidong and Wen Ziting's fathers, so there were simply not enough funds for vaccine research and development.
The stagnation in vaccine development has led to the widespread spread of the zombie virus.
"I know."
Wen Ziting was also very angry when the matter was brought up.
He said, "If we can't use medicine, we can still use zombies."
"What do you mean?" Lin Haidong frowned.
"What do you want to do? Let me tell you, you absolutely cannot lead the zombies to the base just to kill Gu Shanshan. You haven't seen how terrifying zombies are, and you don't know how serious the consequences are if you get bitten by a zombie."
"I didn't say we were going to bring zombies here, what's your rush?"
"So, you're talking about using zombies, but how exactly are they used?"
Lin Haidong couldn't understand it.
Instead of answering Lin Haidong's question, Wen Ziting asked, "Don't you have samples of the zombie ward? Get me a copy."
"Tomorrow, Gong Ye will take his troops out to scout the situation. I will go with him, and Gu Shanshan will also go with him as Gong Ye's temporary guide."
"As long as you give me the zombie virus, I'm a doctor, it's normal for me to carry a syringe. I'll inject the zombie virus into Gu Shanshan's body."
"When Gu Shanshan turns into a zombie, I want Gong Ye to shoot him dead with his own hands."
As he said this, Wen Ziting's face flashed with a malicious expression.
"Great idea!"
Lin Haidong had seen what zombies looked like; they were terrifying and disgusting.
When Gu Shanshan's face becomes twisted and ferocious, he doesn't believe Gong Ye will still be able to stand it.
"Wait here, I'll have someone bring you a sample right away."
......
Gu Shanshan had no idea that she would face the danger of becoming a zombie the next day.
After carrying Gu Shanshan to his own room, Gong Ye got up but did not hold her as they fell asleep.
"Mr. Gong, what are you going to do so late?"
They arrived in a completely unfamiliar environment, surrounded by people full of malice towards them, and outside by terrifying, man-eating zombies.
Gu Shanshan felt uneasy and didn't dare to sleep alone.
He was afraid that if he fell asleep, he would never wake up again.
Gong Ye was very satisfied with Gu Shanshan's dependence on him, but he had to leave.
He leaned down and kissed Gu Shanshan on the lips. "Sweetie, we're going out to investigate the zombie situation tomorrow. I'm going to plan our operation for tomorrow. I'll be back with you soon, don't worry."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but bite Gu Shanshan's lips again.
"Wait for me to come back."
After speaking in a hoarse voice, he turned and quickly left the room.
Crack...
With a bang, he was left alone in the room.
The situation is unusual now, and the living conditions are not good.
This room is the best in the entire base, but apart from the essential bed, refrigerator, table, chairs, and cabinets, there's nothing else.
The room was empty and desolate.
There's absolutely no activity from them.
In the darkness, it felt as if a ferocious demon was lurking and spying on her. Gu Shanshan's mind flashed back to zombies from movies she had seen before, and she curled up on the bed, hugging her blanket tightly.
His eyes were fixed on the door frame.
He was so scared that he didn't dare close his eyes to sleep, waiting for Gong Ye to come back.
......
In the conference room.
When Gong Ye arrived, the room was already full of people.
In addition to the troops brought by Miya, there were also some high-ranking officers from the southern base.
Wen Ziting used his connections to sit not far from Gong Ye, and he wore a different, less pungent perfume, applying only a small amount.
Several sentries around him were looking at him, but Gong Ye kept a cold face and didn't even glance at him.
Wen Ziting felt unwilling, but there were still so many people here, and even if he wanted to do something, he didn't dare to.
Half an hour later, Gong Ye completed the battle plan for the next day.
He immediately stood up, his face cold, and walked out.
He didn't even glance at Wen Ziting, who was constantly striking poses and deliberately trying to seduce him, nor did he even notice whether Wen Ziting was present.
When he was assigning tasks, all he could think about was Gu Shanshan.
Crack...
Upon hearing the faint sound, Gu Shanshan immediately tensed up.
He stared nervously at the doorway, only breathing a sigh of relief when he saw that it was Gong Ye who entered.
With a slightly coquettish tone, she called out, "Mr. Gong, you're finally back."
Perhaps due to an extreme lack of security, Gu Shanshan proactively opened her arms, making a gesture as if she wanted a hug.
"Mr. Gong, hug me. I'm so scared when you're not around."
As soon as he got back, he heard Gu Shanshan's soft, coquettish voice and saw her asking for a hug.
Gong Ye was overjoyed.
He strode forward and pulled Gu Shanshan's petite body into his arms.
"Don't be afraid, I'm back. I'm here."
"I'm so tired of waiting for you."
Gu Shanshan nestled in Gong Ye's arms, found a comfortable position, and murmured softly.
"Go to sleep if you're tired, I'll hold you the whole time."
As Gong Ye spoke, he carried Gu Shanshan to the bed and pulled the blanket over their bodies.
He kept his word, and even while lying in bed, he held Gu Shanshan tightly in his arms.
Holding Gu Shanshan in his arms felt like holding the whole world.
Perhaps it was because of the long wait and the constant tension that her body was exhausted. As soon as Gong Ye held her in his arms, Gu Shanshan's mind and body completely relaxed, and she fell into a deep sleep...
the next day.
As planned the previous night, the six teams set off separately.
There are thirteen people in Gong Ye's team.
Apart from Gu Shanshan and Wen Ziting, who are guides, the rest are all sentries.
In such dangerous operations, sentries cannot bring too many guides to the battlefield, so a squad can only have one guide.
The reason there are two people in this team is simply because Gu Shanshan is Gong Ye's personal assistant, while Wen Ziting is responsible for calming down the other sentries in the car.
After the vehicle entered the heart of the zombie horde, they encountered more and more attacks.
At an abandoned gas station, they were surrounded by hundreds of zombies.
Gong Ye didn't take these hundreds of zombies seriously at all. After ordering Gu Shanshan not to get out of the car, he led the other sentries out of the car to fight.
The car doors were tightly shut, and screams of agony could be heard from outside.
It was hoarse and unpleasant to hear.
Gu Shanshan knew that it wasn't a human's cry, but the shrill screams of a zombie.
Wen Ziting sat opposite Gu Shanshan, looking at her round face, which looked like she had been well taken care of by a man.
A flicker of jealousy crossed my mind.
As he slightly opened a gap in the car, he suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Gu Shanshan's arm.
Caught off guard, Gu Shanshan was startled when Wen Ziting grabbed her wrist.
I asked him, "Why did you pull me?"
As he spoke, he tried to pull his hand back.
No matter how hard she pulled, she couldn't budge it. Gu Shanshan sensed something was wrong and looked up at Wen Ziting, only to see a resentful and sinister expression on his face.
My heart skipped a beat in fright.
It was too late to shout. Wen Ziting covered Gu Shanshan's mouth and pulled out a syringe from the medical kit.
Inside were samples of the zombie virus; a sharp needle plunged into Gu Shanshan's arm...
