Chapter 179: Chapter 179: That mory
“You don’t trust ?”
Su Jin suddenly had the urge to tease Lu Hao.
“Trust…”
Lu Hao’s reply was sowhat reluctant; it wasn’t that he didn’t trust Su Jin, he was just angry, even though he didn’t know why he was angry.
“Then what do you think, in my past life, what was my relationship with him?”
Su Jin took the opportunity to straighten Lu Hao’s collar.
Su Jin breathed a fragrance like orchids, always emitting a pleasant scent that made him yearn for her.
“In the past life, did he die? Did he die to save you?” Lu Hao voiced his guess.
What’s the deal?!
He guessed it and is still mad at her!
“Captain Lu, I’ll be honest,” Su Jin raised her tender hands.
“Hmm, be honest and lenient,”
Lu Hao pressed his forehead against Su Jin’s.
Slling Lu Hao’s scent, Su Jin blushed but still rembered her past dealings with Xia Mufei.
Xia Mufei indeed ca from the S City base, just because at that ti his girlfriend had unknowingly offended a big shot of S City base, so he protected his Special Ability-less girlfriend all along, and finally made their way to their team.
Xia Mufei was a genuinely nice guy, and like the other teammates, Su Jin thought of him as a male saint, always feeling pity for anyone he encountered on the road, even skipping als to help others.
Just like his girlfriend Fang Jingfu, who clung to Xia Mufei like a leech, yet always finding fault with him; their team captain couldn’t stand it and had privately advised him several tis not to debase himself like that, especially since Xia Mufei was already so skinny, his body like a bag of bones that seed like it could be blown away by a breeze.
Su Jin rembered hearing Xia Mufei saying to the captain, “Without , Ah Fu would die.”
It wasn’t until later when their team was on a mission that they encountered a small group of zombies, most of the people had managed to reach the vehicles ahead, but Su Jin’s leg was accidentally pierced by ice spikes from an Ice-Elent Zombie.
Xia Mufei, who had already run ahead, seeing this, doubled back and carried Su Jin onwards.
“Don’t worry about , I could be infected too,” Su Jin said weakly.
Her leg was already bleeding, and it was uncertain if she was infected.
“No, it’s just the Ice-Elent Zombie’s ice spikes, not, not a scratch,” Xia Mufei panted as he ran.
Su Jin was moved, Xia Mufei’s words reigniting a flicker of hope for escape.
“Next, I’ll shoot vines towards the truck and let the vines pull us both up, hold on tight to !”
Su Jin looked ahead at the truck not far away and said. The back of the truck was open-air, which could possibly an rescue for them if they used vines.
“Okay!”
Su Jin’s Wood Elent Ability was already Level Four then, making the vines sturdy enough; however, Fang Jingfu, who had already boarded the truck, noticed the wound on Su Jin’s leg.
She called out to everyone, “We can’t let them up, Su Jin has been bitten, look at her leg!”
After she pointed it out, everyone saw the bloody calf wound of Su Jin, and then no one was willing to let her up.
“This is an ice spike wound, not a scratch!” Xia Mufei tried to shout in explanation.
“Useless, they won’t let up, just put down. I’ll draw the zombies away, and you can escape further,”
As the vine that had tied to the vehicle was cut off by a tal Elent Ability User in the team, Su Jin’s heart sunk.
Xia Mufei didn’t speak, but he didn’t put down Su Jin from his back either!
When they reached a nearby construction site, Xia Mufei suddenly placed Su Jin on a hidden high ground, and then he ran back alone!
As he ran, he said, “There’s a ditch over there, I can use my Earth Elent ability to make a trap, to buy us so ti to escape!”
“No! Co back!” Su Jin felt his thod was too risky.
Xia Mufei responded with a big smile, the last smile she saw on him, that smile was the most pure smile Su Jin had ever seen in the apocalypse.
His trap indeed made a bunch of zombies fall into it, but there were still a few mutated zombies that jumped out of the ditch!
Seeing this, Xia Mufei tried to escape using Earth Escape, but a Speed Elent mutated zombie grabbed him in one swift move!
It was over.
From the high ground, Su Jin saw Xia Mufei being caught by the mutated zombie, until soon others also surrounded him…
He could have escaped!
Why, why did he have to save her!
This damned heroism, but when it ca to herself, she couldn’t despise him at all…
He was just, too gentle…
But this kind of gentleness was not suitable for the apocalypse.
At this point, Su Jin was already in tears, that incident had too great an impact on her, so much so that every ti she saw Fang Jingfu afterwards, she couldn’t help wanting to kill her.
Lu Hao kissed Su Jin and wiped her tears, asking, “So how did you finally escape?”
“I, I found the seeds of a man-eating plant and quickly grew it, killing those few mutated zombies,” Su Jin sobbed as she spoke. If it weren’t for Xia Mufei’s trap keeping so many zombies temporarily unable to co out, even if she had defeated those few mutated zombies, it would still have been a dead end.
“I understand, don’t cry.”
Lu Hao felt sorry again, wishing he hadn’t asked her.
So his little wife had suffered so much in her previous life, and just now he was still feeling jealous of that boy, but now, what right did he have to be jealous?
Especially since when Su Jin needed him the most, he wasn’t by her side.
“Don’t bla yourself,”
Su Jin leaned against Lu Hao’s chest, comforting him in return, seeing his behavior, she knew this guy was blaming himself for the past again.
“As far as I know, you were always looking for , even offering a reward of 10 million crystal cores,”
Su Jin had counted the numbers many tis when she saw it, she never knew she was worth that much! Fortunately, Lian Jiyue didn’t express any interest in that bounty at that ti.
Just as she was about to rejoice, she was ambushed…
“Just 10 million crystal cores and you’re not angry?” Lu Hao laughed, crystal cores had a value, but his wife was priceless, how could the two compare?
“Ah, think about it, if I hadn’t died in my last life, those 10 million crystal cores would have been enough for us to live in style for a lifeti,” Su Jin lanted again, as if she had truly lost 10 million crystal cores.
“I feel like killing Chen Xiarong again,” Lu Hao said.
“If we ever see her again, let do it, I want her to taste what it’s like to beco a zombie,” Su Jin said bitterly.
“Why didn’t you kill her earlier?” Lu Hao had thought that Su Jin was just being soft-hearted before.
“Killing people before the apocalypse is illegal, and I’m also the wife of the chief of the criminal police. What if the apocalypse hadn’t happened? I would have been a murderer then, would you arrest or not?” Su Jin half-joked.
Lu Hao wanted to say sothing more, but Su Jin covered his mouth to stop him. Rather than dwelling on those things, it was better to live well now. If Chen Xiarong was lucky enough, it was best not to let her run into her, or else she feared she might not be able to resist killing her imdiately.
