Chapter 653: Guan Zhiyuan (2)
It's very quiet in the library.
After closing the outer door, Qiao Xi sat down against the bookshelf. It was inevitable that it would start to get cold after nightfall. She noticed that Guan Zhiyuan was not wearing much, so she moved closer to the boy.
"Don't get sick."
Qiao Xi was afraid that he would think too much, so she gave him these instructions and sat down next to him.
"good."
Guan Zhiyuan was not averse to her approaching him. His body, which had been strengthened by supernatural powers, was not afraid of getting sick at all. He waited for Qiao Xi to sit down next to him and accidentally touched the girl's cold fingertips.
It was just a slight hesitation.
Guan Zhiyuan still took the initiative to reach out and hold her hand.
It seemed like the most natural thing, whether it was holding hands or kissing, it seemed natural for them. Qiao Xi looked at the young man's cool and indifferent profile and for the first time began to feel curious about him.
"I said, Guan Zhiyuan."
The girl's voice was as soft and sweet as if it had fallen into a honey pot.
"Um?"
Guan Zhiyuan glanced at her sideways when he heard that, and noticed that there was a mixture of curiosity and excitement in Qiao Xi's eyes, as if she was starting to care about him.
"Did we know each other before? Were we lovers?"
Qiao Xi asked with a smile.
Guan Zhiyuan hesitated. When he heard her words, he felt bitter: "I know her, but she's not him."
He doesn't deserve it.
Without Qiao Xi's permission, you can't even touch Qiao Xi.
Don't talk about lovers.
To Qiao Xi, he was just a person who could be summoned and dismissed at will, and his time could be spent casually.
"I see."
Faintly seeing the pain on the boy's face, Qiao Xi could only nod slightly and not dwell on this topic any further.
"By the way, when you kissed me just now, I felt like there was some power."
Qiao Xi talked about this matter again.
Guan Zhiyuan's expression became a little unnatural: "Maybe your supernatural power has awakened."
Who knew the girl would retort seriously.
"No, the change only happens when I kiss you. If you don't believe me, why don't you try it?"
Guan Zhiyuan never expected her to say such a thing.
His face flushed, and he looked away in a panic: "Kissing is something only lovers can do. You can't do it casually with the opposite sex."
Although it was a bit late for him to say this.
But he also didn't want to instill any strange ideas in Qiao Xi now, for fear that she would become like she would in the future, doing that kind of thing with anyone casually.
"Then why don't you be my boyfriend?"
"……What?"
At this moment, Guan Zhiyuan even doubted whether he had heard it wrong.
However, when he turned around, he saw Qiao Xi's serious face, which did not seem to be joking at all. He was also completely stunned. They were dating on the first day after their rebirth. He and Qiao Xi?
It feels as unreal as a dream.
"You don't like me." Guan Zhiyuan could only suppress his emotions and said calmly.
He tried to make the girl back off in this way.
"I may not be that into you right now, but I really want to get to know you. I have feelings for you, and we've even kissed. Are you thinking of not taking responsibility?"
Let’s talk about the latter.
Qiao Xi looked at him with some grievance.
She had never seen anyone who held her hand, kissed her, and disturbed her thoughts, and could still act so calmly. She was also very conflicted, but she didn't hate that feeling.
She even felt curious and concerned about this person.
"You'll regret this."
Guan Zhiyuan glanced at her sideways, and there was a seriousness in his deep eyes that Qiao Xi had never seen before.
He said again.
"If you ever think about me in the future, you will regret your decision today."
"Won't."
Qiao Xi denied his words: "This is the decision I made. No matter what the cost is, I should bear it. At least now, I will not regret it."
“…”
Guan Zhiyuan was touched by her words.
After a long while, looking at the girl's nervous expression, he finally sighed and said, "Okay."
I agreed.
He only hoped that one day in the future, if Qiao Xi could remember the past, she would not regret today's decision. Otherwise... he didn't know how to face Qiao Xi.
"Yeah! I have a boyfriend too!"
The girl happily rushed over and hugged him the second after he agreed. They were both sitting next to the bookshelf against the wall.
Almost her entire body was nestled in his arms.
The warmth and heat brought by the girls also invisibly dispelled the coldness lingering around Guan Zhiyuan.
"well."
Noticing that she was hugging him tightly, as if trying to pass on her warmth, Guan Zhiyuan could only close his eyes and sigh helplessly.
he……
There has never been anything I can do with Qiao Xi.
Even though he knew that Qiao Xi came closer to him just because she didn't want him to catch a cold or get sick.
but.
Naturally, he would not expose the girl's little thoughts.
So Guan Zhiyuan let her hug him and lean on his arms, then he reached out and put his arm around Qiao Xi's shoulders to hug the girl tighter.
"have a good rest."
The voice still sounds as cold as ever, but there is a hint of softness hidden in it, giving people an infinitely satisfying sense of security.
Qiao Xi was not pretentious.
After being held by Guan Zhiyuan and leaning against him, she found a comfortable position, rubbed herself against him, and fell asleep.
Progress can quickly become like this.
I'm afraid there are not many at all.
They held hands and kissed on the first day they met, and became boyfriend and girlfriend. Even Guan Zhiyuan himself felt like he was dreaming. Although his supernatural power was only level three, it was completely sufficient to protect Qiao Xi and himself.
There will be no situation where the capacity is exhausted.
But if.
If he chooses to protect others, his supernatural powers also have a reserve, just like the blue bar in the game. If there is no blue, he cannot use his skills.
He can use his powers 24 hours a day, regardless of time.
It is also because he is slowly recovering now, and the consumption of working with Qiao Xi is not as fast as the recovery speed, so they can maintain a balance.
But this is not a solution.
Guan Zhiyuan's own special ability is invisibility, which does not have any lethality. And the weapons and equipment he had in the apocalypse are no longer with him, although he can deal with zombies of this level with his bare hands.
But……
That scene might be too bloody for Qiao Xi now, and the splattered rotten blood would also dirty his hands.
Guan Zhiyuan could also see it when Qiao Xi treated him before.
She is more or less a bit of a germaphobe.
The library is very quiet.
Guan Zhiyuan was thinking about Qiao Xi, feeling the girl's presence beside him, and gradually letting his consciousness sink into the darkness.
And the playground on the other side.
The students gathered here were feeling uneasy. Outside the iron fences of the playground were many hideous, blue faces.
“Bang, bang—!”
"roar--!"
The clanging sound of the iron bars being pulled wildly could be heard, along with angry roars, making the faces of the people hiding in a group in the playground turn even paler.
They were helpless and hopeless.
I can only keep checking my phone to see the latest news.
Two hours after the disaster.
They finally received a piece of related news, which briefly introduced the infected patients and said that the cause of the disease was unknown, but people should be careful not to get bitten.
If bitten, it will become infected.
It may also be eaten raw.
This behavior is very similar to the zombies in TV dramas, so it is temporarily named zombie disease, and the people infected are zombies.
As for whether it can be treated...
Experts said that there are currently no relevant virus samples and they will do their best.
Despair spread among the people.
Where is the rescue?
The news told them not to go out and wait for rescue. However, outside the iron bars were densely packed with zombies, and they could no longer hold on. Some zombies even stepped on other zombies to climb up.
It won't take long.
It will come over.
They saw on the local news that rescue workers had been sent, but could they still wait?
No one can tell them the answer.
They could only wait for dawn in despair. Rescue teams set out overnight and rushed to various areas as quickly as possible.
And the students trapped in the playground.
After staying up all night with my nerves tense, the rescue team finally arrived around six o'clock.
The zombies in the outer circle were cleared out.
"Students at school, please gather on the playground immediately! The rescue team will leave in an hour, please hurry!"
This notice was continuously broadcast on the school radio.
When the people hiding everywhere heard this, they gritted their teeth and ran out.
And stay on the top floor of the library.
Qiao Xi, who was fast asleep from exhaustion, didn't notice the broadcast. As for Guan Zhiyuan, when the noisy broadcast outside slightly woke him up, he noticed that it was still dark outside, so he didn't take it seriously.
Anyway.
Whether he goes or not, he has the ability to protect Qiao Xi.
These survivors were usually taken to four bases, and he knew their locations, so he didn't have to worry. However... this time, Guan Zhiyuan planned to bypass them and would not let Qiao Xi go to Base A.
The broadcast lasted for an hour.
After the countdown ended, there was no more sound.
The campus was quiet.
Only the faint roars of zombies could be heard. Apart from that, there was no other sound. It was too quiet.
A new day comes as usual.
But the world is not peaceful now.
Qiao Xi rubbed her eyes and regained consciousness. When she saw the bookshelf in front of her and the place where she was lying, she was stunned for two seconds before reacting.
Memories of yesterday flooded back into my mind.
A sudden outbreak of a virus swept through the world, and then she met Guan Zhiyuan, and there was also the incident where she was talking to a boy in a daze before going to bed yesterday, and it developed into a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.
Everything became clear.
Qiao Xi sat up, and when she saw the handsome boy next to her staring at her quietly, she smiled and greeted him.
"Good morning, boyfriend."
Guan Zhiyuan's face, which originally had a childlike and youthful look, couldn't help but turn red when he heard Qiao Xi's energetic voice.
"Hey, good morning, go out."
He coughed lightly, somewhat unnaturally, and tried to calm himself down.
He used to pretend to be the other person's boyfriend.
I didn't expect that I have been promoted to a full-time employee now.
The two washed up in the library bathroom before deciding to go out.
"Oh right, now I have that strange ability, but I have to state in advance that I can't do something as great as saving the world."
Walking on the road outside.
Qiao Xi, who was holding hands with Guan Zhiyuan, looked at the boy next to her and said seriously that she had not forgotten what the other party said, that he had to protect her because she was the key.
Qiao Xi was afraid that Guan Zhiyuan would be disappointed.
She was also afraid that the boy would feel that she couldn't do what he expected, so now, some things had to be said clearly.
Guan Zhiyuan couldn't help but laugh when he saw her being so serious.
"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter whether you save him or not."
He was just talking big, looking for an opportunity to get close to Qiao Xi. As for saving the world? There were always those high-level officials and experts to worry about, it wasn't their turn.
"All right."
Finding that the boy really didn't seem to care, Qiao Xi breathed a sigh of relief and felt a lot more relaxed.
But I don’t know if it’s an illusion.
It seemed like the only creatures wandering around today were zombies, with no sign of humans. Guan Zhiyuan picked up a broken water pipe from the roadside and used it as a weapon. He stabbed every zombie he saw, killing them one by one.
Pus and blood splattered.
Qiao Xi's pretty face was pale. She clung to Guan Zhiyuan's arm, holding hers, in fear, and subconsciously shrank back into the boy's arms. Although she had seen bloody scenes many times, she still couldn't get used to someone getting shot in the head in front of her.
It's really disgusting.
His head was a mess, like a barrel with paper stuck in it. When the thin paper was poked, some red and white sticky liquid flowed out, emitting a disgusting stench.
Not just disgusting.
"If you're scared, just don't look at it."
Guan Zhiyuan noticed her abnormality and shook off the rotten blood stuck on the steel pipe on his hands.
"No, I have to overcome it."
Qiao Xi shook her head and still held his arm tightly, but the girl's eyes were firm. Guan Zhiyuan didn't try to persuade her anymore. This was the end of the world, and no matter how unwilling she was, she would have to face it sooner or later.
So it’s good that Qiao Xi is mentally prepared now.
She is considered strong.
At least they wouldn't be like the people who scream and cry when they see a bloody scene, or fall to the ground crying out of fear.
As if he suddenly remembered something.
Guan Zhiyuan looked at her and said, "The survivors of the school evacuated at seven in the morning. They must have gone to the base for refuge. We are also heading to the base."
"base?"
Qiao Xi was a little confused and asked subconsciously.
"Is it far? Which one is the closest?"
"Base A."
Guan Zhiyuan answered immediately out of reflex, but when the words came out of his mouth, he suddenly stopped and realized that he had said something he shouldn't have said.
"Okay, let's go to Base A."
Qiao Xi didn't notice his expression and nodded.
Guan Zhiyuan reacted in the next second and refused in a harsh tone: "No, you can't go to Base A."
Qiao Xi looked at him in confusion: "Why? Wouldn't it be more convenient to go to the nearest one?"
Concerned, he pursed his lips and quickened his pace again, "No means no."
Qiao Xi was a little annoyed by his stubborn attitude. The girl grabbed him and said, "Then you have to give me a reason, right?"
I was grabbed unexpectedly.
Guan Zhiyuan turned around and looked at her, a trace of pain flashed across his dark eyes. He whispered, "There's someone I don't want you to meet."
The captain of base A saved a large number of people at the beginning of the apocalypse with his powerful supernatural powers, and therefore he was promoted to the position of base captain at a young age.
The base commander...
Those fragments that Guan Zhiyuan was reluctant to recall emerged. If that person was also reborn, he would definitely take Qiao Xi away, just like in his previous life. Various versions of the story of the base commander's little wife would be circulated later.
He can't stand it.
Now, he really can't stand Qiao Xi being with another man for even a minute.
When he was completely ruined by Qiao Xi's bad behavior, his feelings towards Qiao Xi had already been distorted.
"All right……"
The girl also keenly noticed at this time that his expression was not right. Although she still felt a little strange, she pouted and agreed.
They went to the school supermarket.
"I remember your ability is quite special. It can be used in the space system. See if you can store things in the space."
Guan Zhiyuan is guiding Qiao Xi to feel her own power and use it.
The girl did as he said.
He manipulated his familiar yet unfamiliar power to create a hole in the space around him. It was a dark void, and occasionally some light like thin lines flowing in the distance could be seen.
Although I don't know what it is.
But her intuition told her that the flowing lights were dangerous and that her life would be devoured if she touched them.
I vaguely remember that those lights also had names.
Space-time turbulence?
This word suddenly popped up in my mind. It seemed to be this name. Anyway, it was something that could not be touched casually, but the dark space opened by Qiao Xi was safe.
Store items inside.
The object will always maintain its original state, unaffected by the passage of time and will not change, and will remain frozen in this state.
The space looks small.
But there were so many things that could be put in that the supermarket was almost emptied. The scale of the store really surprised Guan Zhiyuan.
He knew that Qiao Xi's ability was unique replication.
Simply put, you can use the abilities of all departments.
He originally thought that he would be the type who is good at everything in the early stage, but the potential of Qiao Xi's supernatural power was really beyond his expectations.
"Do you want to take this too?"
Qiao Xi looked at the neatly arranged small boxes near the cash register, then turned to look at Guan Zhiyuan who was standing on the other side.
After all, he is a college student, an adult in his early twenties.
Who doesn't want to have a relationship in college? Some even get married, so it's no surprise that there are such things in supermarkets.
"What?"
Guan Zhiyuan turned around and followed her gaze.
When he noticed that Qiao Xi was talking about those pink or blue boxes with the words "thin" or "ultra-thin" written on them, his expression became unnatural.
"...What a mess you're thinking about."
Guan Zhiyuan walked over and rubbed Qiao Xi's head viciously as if as punishment.
This is just the beginning of the relationship.
Moreover, Guan Zhiyuan had no intention of touching Qiao Xi, but her little head was full of messy thoughts, and she actually said that she wanted to take these things with her.
Qiao Xi curled her lips.
"Just in case."
She also had the intention of teasing him a little, wanting to see how this cold boy would react, but it was just a casual mention. Although Qiao Xi herself couldn't explain why, but...
When she saw Guan Zhiyuan, she inexplicably wanted to play a trick on him.
In various aspects.
She didn't understand what was going on, but she felt she had some bad intentions. Now that she'd heard that, she was even more eager to bring him along. There was no other reason, she just thought her boyfriend was kind of cute when he was hiding his shyness.
Take it off quickly and stuff it into the space.
Qiao Xi blinked her eyes and looked at him cunningly: "Since our feelings are not that deep now, it is naturally useless. Maybe it will be useful someday in the future."
"you……"
Guan Zhiyuan opened his lips, but was unable to refute for a moment.
Seeing her cunning expression, like a little devil who had succeeded in her trick, I felt depressed. But more than that, the heat on my face was rising.
He could only pretend not to see it.
He pulled Qiao Xi's hand roughly, ignoring the girl's expression as she covered her lips with her hands and giggled.
Guan Zhiyuan finally understood.
Qiao Xi's character of liking to play tricks on others has actually existed for a long time, but it became more obvious after her superpowers awakened.
The girl humming a song is in a good mood.
Even when Guan Zhiyuan started to kill the zombies, she didn't show the same fear as before. It seemed that she had adapted to it a lot, and Qiao Xi was eager to try it herself and began to take action.
"call out!"
A sharp, slender ice spike suddenly flew past Guan Zhiyuan's eyes, and with a sound of breaking through the air, it pierced through the head of a zombie not far in front of him.
"thump--"
The headless zombie fell down.
The spinning ice spikes in the air shook off the blood and flew to pierce another zombie, one after another as if for fun.
Guan Zhiyuan turned his head to look at Qiao Xi who was in a playful mood beside him.
He helplessly pressed down Qiao Xi's small hand that was controlling the ice spikes, "Your power level is still low, don't mess around, it's hard to recover after exhausting your strength."
Not to mention.
When storing those things, Qiao Xi was also using his supernatural powers.
Now she is messing around with the ice element again. Even if she was very powerful before, she is not as powerful as before. How can she withstand her lavish behavior?
"All right."
Qiao Xi discovered that his strength was indeed just as Guan Zhiyuan said. After using it a few times, it had been consumed a little.
but……
She held Guan Zhiyuan's hand, but she could feel a faint force flowing into her body through something, helping her to recover slowly.
This feeling is familiar.
That was what she felt when Guan Zhiyuan kissed her, and it was that familiar feeling that allowed her to regain this part of her strength.
There is an idea that needs to be verified.
Qiao Xi has always been a person of action. When this thought came to her mind, she turned her head to look at the boy next to her.
She quickly stood on tiptoe and took advantage of Guan Zhiyuan's inattention to give him a quick kiss on the face.
“……?”
Now it was Guan Zhiyuan's turn to stand there in a daze. The boy widened his eyes slightly and looked at her in surprise.
Qiao Xi also felt it.
The energy that had just been consumed was indeed replenished a little.
Guan Zhiyuan, who was kissed on the cheek by her, also noticed that the mark had suddenly become warm. As long as Qiao Xi had any intimate contact with him, the mark would react.
He was a little worried that he wouldn't be able to control himself.
Because this mark seemed to desire Qiao Xi even more than he had imagined. Once touched by Qiao Xi, it would become extremely hot and intense, and the overflowing desire would burn his reason.
Make him unlike himself.
The mark left by Qiao Xi seemed to also have the function of storing and absorbing power. At least Guan Zhiyuan could feel that after he had a relationship with Qiao Xi, his ability level broke through very smoothly.
The mark will also return Qiao Xi's power to him.
However, once this mark is activated, it means that he must do something with Qiao Xi.
For Guan Zhiyuan now.
It was something he didn't want to see.
Now Qiao Xi knew nothing about him, and he didn't want to expose that side of himself in front of a girl. Because Guan Zhiyuan knew that he hadn't had that kind of experience yet, so he could still control it.
But once you have it.
He will not be able to control his desire for Qiao Xi, and will become the same as before, finding it difficult to remain calm when he meets her.
I don't want this taboo to be broken.
Then try to avoid some contact.
"Don't launch any sudden sneak attacks." Guan Zhiyuan pretended to be calm and pinched Qiao Xi's soft cheek.
The little girl smiled playfully and said in a very light voice: "I know."
Guan Zhiyuan looked at her innocent appearance, and his helplessness grew even stronger. She had agreed lightly, but if the mark was triggered by Qiao Xi's actions, he would be the one to suffer.
However, what Guan Zhiyuan didn't know was.
The girl beside him was immersed in the joy of new discovery.
Qiao Xi was naturally happy. She didn't have to worry about depleting her energy. She could recover by just having some intimate actions with her boyfriend. It was so convenient.
I don't know if this is the case for other people though.
However, Qiao Xi had a hunch that it seemed that only Guan Zhiyuan could bring about this effect.
As for why she was so sure, it was probably because Qiao Xi realized that there was something vaguely connecting her and Guan Zhiyuan, but she did not have the same feeling about other people.
Get out of campus.
The scene outside grew increasingly horrific. Cars were jammed together on the street. The windows were shattered, and a zombie was half-stuck in the window, unable to escape. Its broken hands clawed feebly at the outside.
There was a truckload of blackened intestines.
Qiao Xi's face turned pale, and she forced herself to suppress the urge to vomit. She involuntarily tugged at the corner of Guan Zhiyuan's clothes. Seeing this, the boy also held her tighter and walked forward quickly.
These scenes.
Guan Zhiyuan had seen it when he was on a mission, and there were even more disgusting things. After all, he was the captain of a special team, who specialized in helping the base to carry out secret missions that were inconvenient for official teams to carry out.
Basically all I see is disgusting stuff.
They prioritize strength over everything else and must use their strength to ensure their own safety, so supernatural abilities and levels are the basic criteria for measuring a person, and physical skills are also the basics they need to master.
but.
This way of measurement changed slightly after he met Qiao Xi.
Walk a long way.
It was as if time had been paused at this moment. Traffic stopped, the city in chaos. Cars collided on the road, consumed by flames, leaving only a charred frame.
There was not even a shadow of a person in sight.
The area around the bus stop was covered in blood, and you could vaguely see some scraps of cloth on the ground, probably left behind by someone who had escaped. The city streets were filled with aimless zombies.
Qiao Xi was taken away by Guan Zhiyuan.
Seeing the city transformed from its vibrant splendor into such a decadent and corrupt state overnight, she felt a bit heavy-hearted. Enshrouded in invisibility, no one could see them, and the zombies couldn't sense their presence or see them.
Qiao Xi passed by among the wandering zombies.
Guan Zhiyuan held her with one hand and carried a steel pipe with the other, and dealt with anyone he saw.
Watching as the boy's shirt began to be stained with the splattered corrupt blood.
Qiao Xi has some obsessive-compulsive disorder.
She wanted to clean Guan Zhiyuan's blood, but she also knew that this kind of bloodstain could not be wiped off with a tissue. Qiao Xi had a vague memory of how to clean it.
Cleansing technique.
The word that popped up was also triggered by her power.
Being able to clean objects or people from the inside out without affecting others will at most make you feel cool all over and then refreshed.
Why would she know?
Qiao Xi herself couldn't figure it out. Maybe it was because this was her ability, so she should know how to control it subconsciously?
but……
When using his ability, Qiao Xi discovered that the trajectory of his energy flow was different from that of Guan Zhiyuan who was using supernatural powers. Although there were slight differences, it was not impossible to disguise it as energy fluctuations of supernatural powers.
Think about it.
To be on the safe side, she should disguise her ability as the flow of supernatural powers when she uses it in the future. Thinking so, Qiao Xi also cast a cleaning spell on herself and Guan Zhiyuan.
The boy stopped.
He suddenly realized that his body became clean, and even had a refreshed feeling as if he had just taken a shower. Then he looked at Qiao Xi with some surprise.
this……
Is it a water-based ability? To be able to precisely control and cleanse the body, one must be at least level four or five. Only intermediate-level water-based abilities, with their mastery of flowing water, can achieve this.
Didn’t Qiao Xi just awaken his superpowers not long ago?
It hadn't even been twenty-four hours.
Being able to master these abilities so quickly can only be described as a gifted person. Now, when Guan Zhiyuan got to know her again, he realized that once Qiao Xi started learning and mastering abilities, the speed of her progress was truly beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Just like what he had seen at Base D before.
Qiao Xi and that person practiced their supernatural powers and made progress every day.
"It's much cleaner now." The girl looked at the hem of his clothes and nodded with satisfaction. There were no zombies around. Guan Zhiyuan let her go and reluctantly raised his hand to rub his temples.
"You don't have much energy, so don't waste it."
When Qiao Xi heard what he said, she immediately pouted in displeasure: "Who said that? I found out that as long as I kiss you, I can recover a lot of energy!"
"……What?"
Guan Zhiyuan was once again stunned by her words, and his calm face even cracked a little. He did not doubt Qiao Xi's words, he knew that what Qiao Xi said was true.
Because when I had some close contact with Qiao Xi.
His own special energy will also be affected by the mark. Although the feeling of being burned by desire is not particularly good, if he continues with Qiao Xi, his mark will also feedback a lot of pure energy to him.
But the problem is...
He can't touch Qiao Xi now, and he doesn't want to get any closer to girls than this.
He will lose control.
He finally suppressed the impulse and wanted to meet Qiao Xi and start over. He didn't want to end up like that and let Qiao Xi see him in such an embarrassing state.
"It's an illusion."
Guan Zhiyuan looked away without looking at her and said casually.
But he knew better than anyone whether this was an illusion or not.
"No way!" Qiao Xi immediately retorted anxiously. Seeing the boy's indifferent expression and the look as if he didn't believe her at all, she felt inexplicably discouraged.
Maybe she is the only one who feels this way.
It's normal for Guan Zhiyuan not to believe it.
Seeing the boy walking ahead without looking back, Qiao Xi felt depressed, but she still quickly caught up with him.
The number of zombies following their scent gradually increased.
Guan Zhiyuan did not continue to use his supernatural powers. Instead, he used the steel pipe in his hand to pierce the zombies that followed the smell one by one. He rolled up half of the sleeve of the arm holding the steel pipe, revealing the arm with well-proportioned muscles and smooth lines under the clothes.
In contrast to his childlike face.
His clean and sharp movements were sharp, and his skillful movements and techniques had almost become his subconscious agility reflexes, without wasting any extra strength.
I don’t know whether it was intentional or not.
There were basically no zombies coming towards Qiao Xi. Guan Zhiyuan was in the front, and he dealt with most of the zombies that came in by himself. The little girl followed behind him, looking at him with sparkling eyes.
Guan Zhiyuan's expression remained as cold as ever.
However, after killing a zombie in front of him, he looked ahead with a stern gaze, turned around, took Qiao Xi's hand and prepared to go somewhere else.
The girl looked at him blankly, not yet figuring out the situation.
At this moment, a shout came from behind the two of them: "Wait a minute, wait a minute!"
It was a male voice with a cracked voice.
The voice sounded quite young, probably in his twenties, and came from a distance behind him.
"Won't you wait?"
Qiao Xi raised her eyes and looked cautiously at the man beside her and asked this. Guan Zhiyuan obviously didn't want to cause any trouble, but when he saw the worried expression of the girl next to him, he stopped.
"...Whatever you want."
Although his attitude was somewhat negative, he still gave the choice to Qiao Xi.
"good."
The girl nodded, then stood still and turned to look at the two figures running towards them.
“Hu, hu, hu…”
The figure gradually became clear. It was a young man dressed in a fashionable style, holding a sweet-looking girl wearing a JK uniform. Qiao Xi and Guan Zhiyuan had not yet left the university town. Judging from their appearance, the two of them.
They must be a couple from other universities.
The two men finally caught their breath. The leading boy wiped the sweat from his forehead and grinned.
"Are you guys going out? Do you want to come together? We missed the rescue too."
They were dancing in a bar at night when someone suddenly went crazy and started biting people. He was so scared that he quickly hid back in the hotel with his girlfriend and didn't dare to come out all night. In the early morning, he heard the rescue team's voice.
They originally wanted to go out.
However, when they heard someone screaming from the next door, they gave up. No one wanted to die, and neither did they. They stayed in the hotel until noon, when they noticed that the monsters had also become unusually slow.
Only then did I finally dare to run away from the hotel.
There were no living people on the street, and the strange man and woman in front of them were the only living people they met.
and……
Guo Qingyang finally relaxed after seeing a living person. The man was holding a steel pipe in his hand, which was covered in blood. It looked scary at first glance, but it also indirectly showed that he was a good fighter.
At least I feel a little relieved.
Chu Sining seemed a little scared when she saw the steel pipe in the boy's hand. She nervously grabbed the corner of her boyfriend's clothes, her eyes filled with anxiety and worry.
"Qingyang..."
"It's okay, this just shows how capable I am." Guo Qingyang patted her head carelessly.
Only then did Chu Si Ning let down his guard a little.
only.
The girl's expression still didn't look good.
However, she was still very alert and looked at Qiao Xi and Guan Zhiyuan in front of her with caution.
"It's not on the same route, so there's no need to go together."
Before Qiao Xi could say anything, Guan Zhiyuan spoke first. The boy's cold attitude kept people at a distance. Even though Guo Qingyang was a more outgoing person, he was frightened by his airtight and absolute defense.
No way.
I'm not willing to go together and share the burden.
"Hey, you..." Guo Qingyang wanted to say something, but before he could open his mouth, the girl next to the boy tugged at his sleeve.
Guan Zhiyuan lowered his eyes and looked at Qiao Xi.
"It's not safe for them here either. Why don't they go together?" The little girl stood on tiptoe and whispered in his ear.
A warm breath.
The sound of that beautiful crimson lip evoked a tingling sensation in Guan Zhiyuan's ears. This strange feeling seemed to slowly draw out some suppressed emotions, lingering in his heart.
Guan Zhiyuan was silent.
He looked at Qiao Xi's innocent eyes filled with hope, and for a moment, his heart ached slightly.
turn out to be.
In Qiao Xi's eyes, is he someone worthy of her trust?
if……
If one day in the future, she regained her memory and recalled the past, would Qiao Xi still look at him with the same innocent and dependent eyes she has now? Would she still place all her trust in him?
"...You arrange it."
The words he said went against Guan Zhiyuan's original intention.
But he had no bottom line in his indulgence of Qiao Xi. He simply looked away and went to the side to resume his work of clearing the zombies, with quick, accurate and ruthless moves.
Guo Qingyang looked at his back and clicked his tongue secretly.
Chu Si Ning looked thoughtful, then she turned her gaze to the gentle and petite girl in front of her and smiled.
"Thank you. From now on... please give me your guidance."
"OK."
Qiao Xi happily agreed. Guo Qingyang looked at them from the side, somewhat confused.
"Are you going to Base A too?"
Chu Si Ning had already started chatting with Qiao Xi. She looked at the girl in front of her with some curiosity. At the same time, she glanced at Guan Zhiyuan from the corner of her eye from time to time.
"No, go somewhere else."
Qiao Xi shook her head and didn't explain it clearly.
"I see. But it's safer to go to Base A. I heard there are people with special abilities there. They're very powerful."
Chu Si Ning said this with a smile again.
"Hmm..." Qiao Xi responded absentmindedly, looking like she was in no mood.
Chu Si Ning thought she was not happy.
So, she rummaged through the plush bag she was carrying, and finally took out a lollipop and handed it to Qiao Xi.
"Here, eat some candy when you're in a bad mood. It's sweet."
She showed a bright and beautiful smile, as if it had the power to heal people's hearts. Qiao Xi was a little confused for a moment, but she quickly reacted. After smiling back at her, she accepted the girl's kindness.
"Thank you. If you don't mind, you can call me Qiao Xi from now on."
"Okay, I'm Chu Si Ning, just call me Si Ning."
The two girls were talking, and Guo Qingyang was diligently acting as a knight. However, after Chu Sining said her name, Guan Zhiyuan, who was dealing with the zombies on the other side, had a look of surprise in his eyes.
The beginning of the end of the world.
The bases do not have their own names yet, and they will not be divided into ABCD bases. At most, they will be called the First Base or the Second Base.
The reason why it is called Base A.
It was also because he was reborn and had memories of the past. However, how did this person named Chu Si Ning know about Base A?
I have to talk about memories of the past.
Guan Zhiyuan remembered that there was a powerful superpower team captain in Base A, whose name was Chu Sining.
Same name and surname?
And you just happen to know about Base A?
It wouldn't be such a coincidence. If he could be reborn, then surely others would be able to be reborn as well. However, Guan Zhiyuan remembered that he would occasionally contact the base's psychic team and cooperate with them when the official team was not free.
He had worked with Chu Sining's team once.
Naturally, they have seen each other.
In his mind, Chu Si Ning was a fiery, volatile woman with a ferocious scar on her face and a cigarette in her hand. Because of her ruthlessness and rare psychic abilities, she was incredibly powerful and highly valued by her superiors.
According to some rumors.
Chu Si Ning lost his beloved at the beginning of the end of the world, and because of some opportunities, he awakened his psychic abilities.
Guan Zhiyuan fell silent.
He casually shook off the blood on the steel pipe and returned to Qiao Xi's side. At this moment, the girl was chatting with the sweet girl in JK uniform. The girl's smile was as beautiful as a flower, which attracted his attention.
Guo Qingyang saw him coming.
She immediately nudged him with her elbow, winked at him wildly, and whispered something.
"My girlfriend is cute!"
Guan Zhiyuan glanced at him sideways, not taking the childish kid seriously, and was too lazy to argue with him about such a boring topic. Instead, he went straight to the girl.
"Let's go, Xixi."
Being suddenly addressed so affectionately, even Qiao Xi herself was stunned.
But soon, a blush involuntarily floated on the girl's fair cheeks. She came to his side like a kitten, lowered her head slightly, and timidly took his hand.
"Then, can I call you by your name too?"
A soft and glutinous sound rang in my ears, as soft and sweet as marshmallows.
Guan Zhiyuan had never seen her so weak and harmless.
He had never felt Qiao Xi's simple dependence and coquettishness towards him. For a moment, a subtle strange feeling surged in his heart, and even his expression became a little unnatural.
Guan Zhiyuan opened his lips, but could only utter two dry words.
"……what ever."
The sound was so low that it was almost inaudible.
He covered his lips with one hand somewhat unnaturally and looked away from Qiao Xi, but the faint crimson on the boy's ears betrayed his inner feelings.
"Okay, Zhiyuan."
Qiao Xi smiled, seeming happy to see him so shy.
Two people walked in front.
Guo Qingyang, who fell behind, held Chu Sining's hand and looked at the two figures in front with some emotion.
"Oh, first love, this is so pure."
Chu Si Ning hugged his arm and pursed her lips and smiled secretly: "Qingyang, how can you say that? You were obviously more immature before. When you gave me flowers, your words were stuttering. Even now, you blush easily."
"I, I, I, how could I..."
The boy hurriedly refuted, but it didn't seem convincing at all.
The two of them were also arguing.
However, Chu Si Ning's thoughtful gaze would occasionally fall on the two figures in front of him.
Qiao Xi...
The moment the girl said the name, she was sure that it was the one.
It once caused a lot of uproar in Base A.
The little wife of Base Commander A, who appeared in the hot posts every day, would never forget her outstanding and recognizable appearance.
but……
Why is the lover of the commander of base A now next to the captain of the secret team code-named Undead?
She just observed it.
The man's skills and terrifying control accuracy showed that he was indeed the captain of the team she had worked with once. At that time, their mission was to retrieve virus samples from a certain experimental base.
The other person's skills left an impression on her, so she would remember someone she had only worked with once.
For those excellent opponents.
She was always respectful.
"Hey, Si Ning...you, please stop looking at him all the time, okay? I'll really get jealous."
When Qingyang's awkward voice came, Chu Sining came back to her senses. She looked at the boy next to her with an awkward expression, and there was an unmelting tenderness in her eyes.
"Okay, okay, I'll just look at Qingyang."
She hugged the boy's arm and rubbed it affectionately, feeling the reality of having the person she cherished most by her side.
Guo Qingyang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, he was still a little wary of Guan Zhiyuan. He looked very strong, and if he didn't work harder, he was afraid that his girlfriend would be attracted to him.
