Chi Xia watched Han Junche's retreating figure, puffed out her cheeks, and thought to herself, "Comparison is the thief of joy. Even someone as gifted as me can't catch up to him, let alone others."
After Han Junche defeated a group of zombies in front of him, just as he was about to leave the alley, he suddenly stopped and looked at Chi Xia, saying, "Don't follow me anymore."
His words were a bit cryptic, but Chi Xia still understood what he meant: "You...are leaving?"
Han Junche glanced at her indifferently: "My goal is the superpower core."
The meaning behind his words was quite clear: he did not intend to stay with her forever.
Chi Xia lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly. She looked up at him and smiled slightly, "Okay."
The answer was a clean and concise one, without any hesitation or ambiguity.
No one expected that Chi Xia would agree so readily, and they were all somewhat stunned.
Instead, Han Junche snorted coldly and stepped out of the alley.
Isn't she just that cold-blooded? When she needs him, she calls him Senior Che, Ah Che, Brother Che, Baby, My Dear Future Husband...
She'll say the most cheesy and disgusting things possible, but when she doesn't need him anymore, she'll say the most heartless things without hesitation, and might even push him into a horde of zombies with her own hands.
How could he be so foolish as to rush to find her, even triggering an upgrade of his superpower on the way out of worry?
No, he didn't come looking for her. She's so hateful and despicable, why would he worry about her?
He was simply acting out of rare compassion, unwilling to stand by and watch his compatriots die when he knew their lives were in danger.
Yes, he was just acting out of a sudden surge of sympathy!
Han Junche's eyes instantly turned cold, and another group of zombies in front of him fell down, hissing and emitting black smoke.
Once Han Junche left, Lin Yi and the others naturally followed suit.
Before leaving, Lin Yi asked Xu Fan to cast a recovery spell on everyone in Chi Xia's team. Then, he sighed helplessly, shook his head, and left.
Watching them leave, Zhang Xin whispered, "Sister Chi, why didn't you even try to stop your brother-in-law? Didn't you see his face darken after you said yes?"
Chi Xia shook her head: "No, he has his own things to do, and we have our own things to do."
Doesn't Chi Xia want to follow Han Junche regardless of the consequences, or pester him relentlessly to make him stay?
Of course she wanted to, but she couldn't do it.
Han Junche is the male protagonist of this world, the hope to end this apocalypse. Just like before, no matter how much she felt sorry for him or how reluctant she was, she had to make him turn evil and push him into the zombie horde to activate his dual superpowers.
She couldn't be so selfish as to stop him and drag him down, nor could she abandon her lovely teammates and follow him recklessly.
In the vast universe, every life is precious and worthy of respect.
Besides, she plans to spend her retirement and life here, and she doesn't want to be constantly under the watchful eyes of zombies while she's having a romantic relationship with him.
Chi Xia withdrew her gaze from Han Junche, instructed Liu Daniu and Zhang Xin to guard the exit, took out the walkie-talkie from her back, and began trying to contact the others.
She originally thought that the reason she couldn't get in touch before was because of the distance, but now they are not far from Qiu Hongying's team, yet they still can't get in touch.
This suggests that something, or some reason, is affecting communication.
Liu Daniu looked at the walkie-talkie with disdain: "I thought this was something special, but it turns out it's not even as good as a brick!"
