Cheng Rui held her tightly, craving her warmth, and said, "Let me hold you for a while."

When he came into this world, he was abandoned by his biological parents and picked up by his adoptive mother. He entered a training camp when he was young. What they needed was a sharp knife, not him.

His foster mother and stepbrother treated him well, but he still had no sense of belonging.

He is taciturn and unpopular, he is not good at speaking and can't coax people, and he has never wanted to have a mouth that can speak well.

He wanted to say more sweet words to Bai Qingqing and ask her to be with him.

Bai Qingqing felt his hot breath and stopped struggling silently.

It was useless for her to continue struggling. She could not defeat Cheng Rui at all. Instead, it would only create sparks. Maybe he really just wanted to hug her.

The man held her tightly in his strong arms. In the darkness, they couldn't see each other's expressions and could only feel each other's breathing.

After an unknown amount of time, Cheng Rui let go of her hand, lowered his eyes and looked at the girl in front of him, "Sorry."

"It's okay." Bai Qingqing raised her head and smiled: "I don't blame you."

Cheng Rui felt a little guilty. She must have been frightened, otherwise her voice wouldn't have been trembling. He immediately turned around and tried to leave the room.

"Cheng Rui!" Bai Qingqing quickly called him.

Cheng Rui paused, turned his back to her and didn't look back.

"Cheng Rui, could you... not go out?" Bai Qingqing stood in the dark room feeling a little scared. She actually had a secret, which was that she was afraid of the dark.

In the pitch-black night, it seemed as if some ferocious monsters would pop out at any time, and I felt a chill all over my body.

Cheng Rui turned around and looked at her. Bai Qingqing explained incoherently: "That's not what I meant. I'm afraid of the dark. Can you stay here with me?"

"Okay." Cheng Rui agreed immediately and walked to the sofa and sat down.

Bai Qingqing just climbed onto the bed and looked at Cheng Rui who was sitting on the sofa. He was like a silent black knight standing there, making people feel safe at first glance.

He had a lot of injuries on his body. Sitting there to rest would be very tiring and would affect the healing of his wounds.

Bai Qingqing naturally wouldn't be so cruel as to let him sit there all night, although if she asked him to, he would definitely listen to her and do so.

She took out two quilts from the space, cleaned the bed, laid out two sleeping quilts, and said, "Cheng Rui, come and sleep too."

Since the end of the world, many men and women who have no place to live have been sleeping together, and the distinction between men and women no longer exists.

Cheng Rui had offended her before, causing her to be overly nervous and scared. She had never expected that she would actually invite him to sleep on her bed. His eyes were filled with emotion, and his throat was a little hoarse: "No, I'll just sit here and you go to sleep."

Bai Qingqing: “…” A little stubborn.

She got out of bed and walked over. "Don't you want your injury to heal quickly?"

Cheng Rui pursed his lips and looked up at her.

Bai Qingqing said in an imperative tone: "Hurry up and go to bed. Get up early tomorrow to observe the situation around you and go to Yaoyang Base early."

"Yeah." Cheng Rui replied.

The two of them each went into their own beds and slept in the warm quilts, with a living person radiating warmth next to them. Bai Qingqing finally felt a lot more at ease, closed her eyes and slowly fell asleep.

Cheng Rui didn't fall asleep so quickly. How could he sleep peacefully with the pain from the wounds on his body and the girl he loved lying next to him?

He leaned slightly to one side and looked at her sleeping face in the faint moonlight.

Bai Qingqing's sleeping posture was very standard, with her eyes closed. Her eyelashes were like a small brush, casting a clear shadow under her eyes. Her red little mouth was slightly open, and her breathing was shallow.

The more Cheng Rui looked, the more fascinated he became, and his eyes became more and more passionate.

His Adam's apple moved, and he withdrew his gaze with restraint, reciting numbers silently as if he was in the army, forcing himself to fall asleep quickly without any distracting thoughts.

The next day.

The sunlight shines into the room through the window. The golden light brings a bit of warmth, while the dazzling white light wakes people up from their sleep.

Cheng Rui woke up first and felt something pressing on his legs. He looked over and saw the girl next to him with her long legs pressing on his legs.

It turned out that her standard sleeping posture was an illusion. She became restless while sleeping and almost pushed him to the edge of the bed.

Cheng Rui stood up and carefully moved her legs away, went to the bathroom to wash up briefly, then took out the gun from his luggage and went out to check the situation.

He went to check around and came back to find her still asleep. She was really a sleepy little cat.

"Qingqing." Cheng Rui pushed her hand carefully.

Bai Qingqing frowned slightly and waved her hand away impatiently.

Cheng Rui had no choice but to nag her again, "Qingqing, wake up."

Bai Qingqing woke up immediately, opened her hazy eyes, and looked at the handsome face of the man in front of her, "...Cheng Rui?"

She remembered that the Thunder Squad was forced to separate because they encountered a small zombie tide and mutated plants, so she and Cheng Rui hid in a residential building.

She rubbed her eyes and asked dazedly, "What's the situation outside? Can I go out?"

"Okay." Cheng Rui packed up his things and said, "Go wash up, we'll leave soon. If everything goes well, we can reach the Yaoyang base in two days."

Bai Qingqing went to the bathroom to wash up briefly, wiped her face, and looked at herself in the mirror. Her delicate face looked a little haggard, with a bit of the temperament of a sick beauty.

In fact, the long journey by car was tiring, and she had a small appetite, so she ate almost no nutritious food and lost a lot of weight.

Now I don’t know if Fu Chen is okay or whether he can reach Yaoyang Base safely.

Her two mission targets are still with the team. I hope they are safe, otherwise her side quest will fail and she won’t be able to get any clues about the virus.

After coming out of the bathroom, she tied her hair up with a rubber band, revealing her pretty face, and said, "Let's go."

Cheng Rui led her out of the room, quickly dealt with a few ordinary zombies that wanted to come over, and the two got into the SUV.

The off-road vehicle drove at high speed on the road, crushing all the ordinary zombies and knocking them away. Bai Qingqing had a gun in her hand and occasionally tried to shoot the zombies with the gun.

Cheng Rui would occasionally instruct her on shooting angles, and the zombies were shot in the head one by one, and luckily she got the crystal core.

The two of them were like a couple eloping at the end of the world, speeding on the highway under the scorching sun.

At dusk, the car stopped at a gas station and met a team of survivors who were also resting at the gas station.

The survivor team consists of five people, two pairs of men and women, and a middle-aged man with unique long hair who speaks in a funny local dialect.

This time, they finally met a normal survivor. After a few brief exchanges, they learned that each other was going to Yaoyang Base, and smiles appeared on their faces.

The captain of the survivor team is Zhou Hang, and his girlfriend is Yang Li. They were originally planning to get married, but the end of the world came suddenly and the whole world changed. They had to flee without having time to hold the wedding.

Yang Li was very happy to meet the survivors. She said happily, "We can go into the base together tomorrow."

The Doomsday Safe Base is the last place where humans can survive. There is no need to worry about being bitten by zombies or starving to death every day. As long as humans survive, there is a future.

Zhou Hang hugged her and said with a smile, "Yes, we have been on the run for several months, and finally we see hope."

They chatted and laughed in a relaxed manner, and shared some dry crispy noodles with Bai Qingqing and Cheng Rui.

Yang Li was curious about the relationship between the two and asked, "Are you boyfriend and girlfriend?"

"Of course." The long-haired uncle smiled and said, "They are definitely a couple."

Another woman said, "That's not necessarily true. They should be just ordinary friends." She looked at Cheng Rui and asked with a smile, "Am I right?"

Zhou Hang and Yang Li are a couple who have been together since campus and at their wedding. In the last days, relationships between men and women have become completely chaotic, and normal couples like them are rare.

The survivors put it nicely that they are couples, but in reality many women are just accessories for men to satisfy their sexual desires.

Bai Qingqing looks frail. A beauty like her must be a dodder who relies on men to live, otherwise why would the two of them not acknowledge their relationship for so long.

Cheng Rui pursed his lips and said nothing.

When the two met, Bai Qingqing recognized the woman and kept staring at Cheng Rui, with desire clearly revealed in her eyes.

The man next to her had a dark face with displeasure, but she was still acting recklessly.

Bai Qingqing was provoked and pretended to be afraid of Bai Lian. She grabbed Cheng Rui's hand and leaned close to him, whispering, "He is my brother's friend."

Cheng Rui was silent, feeling a little uncomfortable.

"Hello, handsome guy, my name is Wang Feifei, what's your name?" the woman took the initiative.

Cheng Rui looked at her coldly, obviously not interested in her, and he pulled Bai Qingqing back into the car.

The atmosphere in the car was silent.

Bai Qingqing yawned lazily, lowered her chair and prepared to go to sleep.

There was a sudden knock on the car window. The woman came over to provoke her again. She deliberately knocked on the window on her side and spoke to Cheng Rui through her.

"Handsome man, are you hungry? I have bread and water here."

Bai Qingqing closed her eyes as if she didn't see anything. Cheng Rui next to her opened the car door and got out.

The woman thought he had taken the bait, so she walked over with her waist twisted and turned, her voice deliberately flattering, "Handsome, there are too many people here, let's go over there."

Bai Qingqing was just about to go to bed when she heard someone knocking on the window.

Is Cheng Rui feeling a little weak, it happened so quickly?

She opened her eyes and saw the man standing outside the car, her brows furrowed.

Good guy, it’s really easy to work with a man and a woman, and no one suffers a loss. Wang Feifei’s boyfriend didn’t catch the couple cheating but came to find her instead.

She opened the car window.

The man supported the roof of the car with one hand, leaned forward and showed what he thought was a very handsome smile: "Little sister, I see you didn't eat anything tonight, I have some bread and ham here, do you want some?"

Bai Qingqing thought, you are the one who offered yourself to me to gain experience, I would be in vain if I don't give you a slap in the face.
