"Now, it would be useless for you to escape from me," Gu Si said in a low voice. "You are mine, Ran Ran."

    There was a little bit of paranoia laced in the man''s cold voice, like that of Satan from hell, dangerous yet alluring.

    The man''s thin lips kissed the girl''s now-red earlobe after he said his words. He even stuck out his tongue to lick it, then bit it wickedly. As expected, the girl trembled in his arms, as he had wished.

    Almost immediately, the girl who had just said that she wanted him to let go of her fell softly into his arms with tears in her eyes.

    So sensitive and so cute.

    Gu Si embraced the girl contentedly. His dark eyes deepened a little more.

    This is just right.

    Yue Ran should always be like this. She can only fully depend on him to survive.

    Yue Ran is his.

    Although the people at the back could not see the movements in the front seat, the ambiguous atmosphere could still be felt by everyone in the car.

    Qi Qian''s face became ashen.

    These two people... One is obviously her fiancee, whom she had just known she had, and the other is the girlfriend of her now-dead crush. In short, these two people were just so blatantly flirting in front of her.

    "You guys—" Qi Qian started but was immediately cut off by the cold words.

    "Shut up if you do not want to go down and be fed to the zombies," Gu Si said.

    "I am your fiancee," Qi Qian replied stubbornly.

    "Oh!" Gu Si sneered. "See if he really recognizes you as my so-called fiancee."

    Gu Si gestured out of the window with his eyes, and Qi Qian also turned her head to look over.

    But all she saw was the abnormally blue face of a zombie that was lying on the side of the window, grinning brightly with piercing red blood flowing out of his open mouth. His hands were long, and his sharp, pointed nails had rotted away. He was banging hard on the window when he saw Qi Qian looking over at him.

    Qi Qian, who had suddenly seen such a horrible sight in front of her, was so frightened that her whole body went cold. She could not even make a sound to shout or utter something out loud.

    She was shaking all over, and she could not even see or hear anything around her.

    That was until a gunshot sounded.

    Someone had killed the zombie, and red blood instantly spurted everywhere.

    Qi Qian now felt as if she had come back to life.

    On the other hand, Yue Ran got up from Gu Si''s arms and wanted to see what had just happened, but she was suddenly pressed into the man''s arms by a hand.

    In an instant, a very pleasant smell of cool and minty fragrance spread and lingered on her nose.

    "What is Ran Ran trying to look out for as a delicate and pretty girl?" Gu Si asked in a relaxed tone.

    He held the girl tightly in his arms and raised both of his hands to cover her ears.

    "Do not be afraid," he said.

    Hearing the sudden sound of a gunshot made Yue Ran''s body tremble for a moment. Then, very slowly, she also stretched out her hands to wrap them around the narrow waist of the man in front of her.

    At this time, Qi Qian had finally recovered from her trance, and her blood warmed up again.

    She finally felt that she was still alive.

    But when she turned her head, all she saw were the two people hugging in front of her.

    The man''s expression was indifferent, but there was a gentleness between his brows and eyes that could not be faked. Moreover, the movements he made seemed to really regard the person in his arms as his priceless treasure that no one other than him could touch.

    Qi Qian immediately felt a little blocked and sour in her heart. She could not understand the scene in front of her for some reason.

    The Salvation System, which is bound to Qi Qian, could naturally sense Qi Qian''s emotions to a certain extent. And right now, the Salvation System also feels very puzzled.

    It was obvious that these two people—Qi Qian and Gu Si—were both destined to be together. Yet why is such a man, who was destined to be with another woman, so interested in another girl?

    Salvation System: "Qian Qian, it is okay. That man named Gu Si is your destined person, and he will definitely like you when you have awakened your supernatural powers."

    Qi Qian finally fell silent, and her eyes turned slightly red at some point in time.

    Qi Qian: "Um."

    Qi Qian answered lightly in her heart, but no one knew what precise thoughts she was having right now.

    …

    A small group of zombies appeared in front of the off-road vehicle.

    This small group of zombies was different from those in the past. Their bodies were harder and stronger than those of before, and they could even catch up quickly even if they were hit by a car. Moreover, their speed is also much faster than that of the car.

    Gu Si looked at the disgusting things that were constantly and relentlessly entangled outside of the window, and disgust flashed in his eyes.

    The off-road vehicle was finally forced to stop, and the people inside could not sit still. They were only temporarily safe inside for now.

    "Boss, let us go out and deal with it first," one of the three other team members suggested.

    "Um," Gu Si replied with a nod.

    Although the soldiers were strong and professionally trained, they were still outnumbered by the zombies outside. Moreover, these things are not humans but the undead. This meant that they would not fall without hurting their vital point, which is their heads.

    One wave of zombies came after the other, and even the strongest of the soldiers would inevitably be exhausted.

    Gu Si frowned as he looked at the scene outside.

    The sky was dim and cloudy, and dust was everywhere. Plants withered, animals died, and only the tall buildings outside were around to prove that there was once a place of prosperity in the world.

    But at the moment, all the living humans here have turned into this kind of undead with their rotting blue and green bodies, their mouths open blankly, and they are walking towards their former companions.

    Gu Si took Yue Ran''s delicate little hand into his.

    "Just wait behind me and do not move around, okay?" he asked gently.

    "Hmm," Yue Ran hummed. "I understand." She held the man back and answered with great confidence and trust in him.

    Seemingly stained by the trust in the girl''s eyes, Gu Si added another two sentences: "Although it may look scary and hard to get through, it is really not difficult either. As long as you follow me, everything will be fine."

    Right now, staying in this off-road vehicle is a very dangerous thing to do. With this car as the target of the attack, a circle of zombies was always surrounding and attacking it.

    At this time, the only way to get out of this encirclement was to go down the road and escape. Sёar?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    "Wait a moment!" Qi Qian suddenly spoke out loud after a long silence. "You guys, are you all going to get out of the car?"

    Although Qi Qian had killed a few zombies before, that did not mean that she was not afraid of them or disgusted by them!

    Now that everyone is getting off the car, she will be left all alone. Is that not just throwing her into the mouth of the zombies outside?

    Gu Si frowned at her and thought about it. After a while, he took out a gun and threw it at her.

    Qi Qian was the person that his grandfather wanted him to find to be his fiancee. If she just died right under his nose, it would be hard for him to explain what had happened if he went back to the base.

    It was just that no matter how much effort he put in, he, Gu Si, would not and did not want to do anything more for her.

    Qi Qian could barely catch the gun from the air into her hands and instantly saw Gu Si getting out of the car while carefully protecting Yue Ran behind him.

    She bit her lip tightly, and a trace of inexplicable grievance sprouted in her heart. But it was only a flash; it came as fast as it went because she forced herself to eliminate those unnecessary emotions in these dangerous times.

    She, Qi Qian, cannot die.

    She has to live!

    At this moment, Qi Qian suddenly calmed down a lot, as if she were not a female university student who had not experienced any hardships, but rather like a calm ship that had gone through a thousand sails.

    She, Qi Qian, had grown up at this moment.

    Yue Ran: The female protagonist should thank me for helping her grow up.

    The Salvation System looked at Qi Qian with satisfaction and nodded inwardly.

    Well, it was as expected of the person it had chosen.

    She should be calm when she should be calm, she should be independent, and she is avid for self-improvement. She should rely on herself to become stronger step by step in this apocalypse.

    The off-road vehicle was already surrounded by zombies at this time.
