Chapter 12: Parting ways

Chu Xihen helped Lou Su to the tent where he lived. Now that Wan Ming was dead, there was an empty seat next to Han Chong, and Bai Jinli could just go there.

"Didn't you sleep well last night? Take a rest first." Lou Su knew that Chu Xihen was picky about where he slept. In this chaotic world, he was afraid it would be difficult for him to get a good night's sleep again.

"Okay, you sleep with me." Chu Xihen was indeed a little sleepy. He had been leaning on the tent all night and did not fall asleep at all.

Even if I move into the tent now, I probably won’t be able to sleep without Lou Su by my side.

Lou Su is very weak now and needs rest. Moreover, Chu Xihen made such a request. Even if he was full of energy, he would not be able to refuse.

Chu Xihen lay down with Lou Su. Lou Su hugged his waist out of habit, and he did not push her away. He fell asleep in Lou Su's arms, smelling the familiar, soothing breath.

Later he was woken up. When he opened his eyes, Lou Su was no longer in the tent, but was outside, staring at everyone.

The reason for the quarrel outside was that Han Chong joined forces with other superpowers to ask Chu Xihen to explain everything that happened at the river in the morning. He did not believe that it was an accident and insisted that Wan Ming was killed by Chu Xihen.

"Boss, Chu Xihen is your lover, but Wan Ming is also our brother. He can't die in such an unclear way!" Although Lou Su's behavior was a bit too much about putting women before friends, Han Chong still recognized him as the boss, otherwise he would have rushed into the tent and dragged Chu Xihen out.

Lou Su held Chu Xihen in his arms and slept for the whole morning. He has almost recovered now.

He stood in front of the tent with his arms clasped, refusing to back down.

"You are all superpowered people, and many of you don't even know Wan Ming, but you are willing to show up here to seek justice for him. Do you think it's a pity that a superpowered person died, or do you think he is a peer, and think that he got into trouble because of an ordinary person, which is a humiliation for you, so you must make this ordinary person come out and admit responsibility?"

Lou Su asked Han Chong calmly.

When Han Chong brought his men here just now, he knew at a glance that almost all the psychics in the camp had arrived.

This is only because Hao Ren is not here. If he were here, these psychics would never do this.

"Brother Lou, we don't mean to make things difficult for Mr. Chu...Brother Chu. We just want him to tell the truth about what happened between him and Wan Ming by the river?" Bai Jinli, who was standing next to Han Chong, also said.

Maybe he really just wanted to know the truth, but the fact that he stood together with the psychics to interrogate Chu Xihen made his position very clear.

Now that he has chosen a side, he still has to say such high-sounding words. Lou Su really despises this kind of behavior.

"You speak more beautifully than you sing. So many people have gathered here, and you still say you don't want to embarrass my good brother?" When Zhou Quan heard the noise here, he guessed that Chu Xihen was in trouble, so he ran over quickly and just happened to hear Bai Jinli's hypocritical speech.

Lou Su saw Zhou Quan coming to help. Although the other party was on Chu Xihen's side, he still disliked the boy.

"You have nothing to do here. Get out of here if you don't want to die!" Han Chong shouted at Zhou Quan.

Zhou Quan had to look up to see Han Chong's chin, but he was not afraid at all. "From the tone of your voice, you think you are very valuable just because you have awakened your superpowers, right? Aren't you bullying people just because Chu Xihen has no one to help him? In my opinion, Wan Ming deserves to die. God couldn't stand his arrogance and took him away!"

"You're looking for death!" Han Chong was furious and raised his hand to punch Zhou Quan.

However, before he could touch Zhou Quan, his fist was blocked by Lou Su.

"Boss, did you hear what he said? Chu Xihen must have thought the same thing, that's why he killed Wan Ming!" Han Chong was very angry.

But when his power was awakened, Lou Su grabbed his fist without changing his expression and he couldn't move at all!

"Then have you ever thought about this: Wan Ming, a person with superpowers, took Chu Xihen, who has not awakened his superpowers, to the river. What is his intention?" Lou Su looked at Han Chong with a cold face.

If they hadn't known each other before the apocalypse and had agreed to fight together in the apocalypse, he would have shown no mercy to Han Chong now and would have just knocked him down. It would have been a waste of time to explain so much to him.

"That's right. Mr. Hao told everyone not to get close to the river. Wan Ming must have wanted to harm Chu Xihen, but ended up getting himself into trouble. You are Wan Ming's good brother, and now he is dead. You should compensate Chu Xihen who was frightened on his behalf!" Zhou Quan said following Lou Su's words.

As soon as the question of tracing back to the past was raised, anyone with a brain would know that Wan Ming had bad intentions.

As a person with superpowers, he failed to harm anyone and instead became food for the mutant fish. Now he has to embarrass himself by calling so many people here!

"Well... Mr. Hao and the others should be back soon. I'll go to the hillside to take a look." Someone felt embarrassed, touched his nose, and made up an excuse to leave.

Then several voices echoed, "I'm going too!"

"And I'm here too. With more people, I can take care of you!"

In the blink of an eye, the group of people dispersed, leaving only Han Chong and Bai Jinli.

"You guys..." Han Chong looked in disbelief at those superpowers who came together to seek justice for Wan Ming. He thought to himself, after all, they were people he didn't know very well. They didn't come to help at all, but to join in the fun!

"I'm sorry, Brother Lou, I didn't think it through and misunderstood Xi Hen." Bai Jinli admitted his mistake quickly.

"Now that you know it's a misunderstanding, is it your brother Lou you feel sorry for? It's Chu Xihen you feel sorry for!" Zhou Quan reminded.

These words made Bai Jinli's expression freeze for a moment.

However, he did not argue with Zhou Quan and said humbly, "I will apologize to Xihen when he wakes up."

Seeing that Bai Jinli had also compromised, Han Chong was extremely angry.

"Boss, are you determined to protect that good-for-nothing pretty boy and not investigate the cause of Wan Ming's death at all?" Han Chong's tone was filled with determination and warning.

"What? You want to break up with me?" Lou Su saw through his intention.

Han Chong took a deep breath with red eyes, gritted his teeth and threatened: "If you choose Chu Xihen, then we will go our separate ways in the future and live in peace!"

"I choose Chu Xihen." Lou Su gave the answer without hesitation, not giving Han Chong a chance to struggle or regret.

Han Chong took two deep breaths, turned around and left without saying another word.

Bai Jinli didn't expect this result. He thought Lou Su, Han Chong and Wan Ming were close friends. After all, when they were killing aliens together yesterday, Lou Su saved them several times.

Now it seems that Han Chong and Wan Ming were a little ignorant of their own behavior. They were protected by Lou Su and yet they still asked about his private affairs.

But his situation was a bit awkward, so he just said, "I'll go see him."

As a result, as soon as he turned around, he bumped into a passing psychic, and the next moment his handsome face turned as pale as paper.

"Mr. Bai, are you okay?" The psychic asked worriedly when he saw Bai Jinli standing there in a daze.

Before Bai Jinli could say anything, Chu Xihen suddenly opened the door of the tent and came out, already carrying his backpack. "Hurry up, the aliens are coming!"

Chu Xihen said this to Lou Su in a low voice, and only he and Zhou Quan who was standing next to him heard it.

Before the two could react, they heard Bai Jinli shouting, "Everyone, leave the camp quickly, many alien species will crawl out from the ground!"
