Chapter 13
“Be careful!” Zhang Yun immediately reached out and grabbed his wrist and pulled his whole person to his own direction, thus avoiding the tragedy of Su Ruizhe being stabbed in the foot by a knife.
Su Ruizhe came back to his senses because of Zhang Yun’s pull. Although he was a little afraid of the injury he had just almost suffered, he was more moved by Zhang Yun’s unconscious action. The same is true in the previous life. No matter what kind of danger he encounters, Zhang Yun always appears at his side in time to shield him from those dangers.
What had happened in his previous life came back to him once again.
At that time, he was only a seventeen-year-old boy. After the outbreak of the zombie virus, there were zombies everywhere, the whole city was in chaos, and there was a terrible smell of blood everywhere. He and his uncle’s family hid in the house and did not dare to go out at all. Because the elder aunt also has some old people’s habits and likes to buy more food, so they were able to stay at home for half a month. But no matter how frugal they are, all the food is eventually consumed.
He was fooled by his great aunt to go out to look for food. As a result, he was accidentally scratched by a zombie and almost died. It was Zhang Yun who saved him. If a person was scratched or bitten by a zombie half a month ago, he or she would be killed immediately to prevent the other person from mutating from the virus infection. Later, however, people found that even if they were scratched by a zombie, besides being infected, human beings could overcome viruses, stimulate powers and become a Superhuman. -I’m going to call it this for now but if anyone has another suggestion then please tell me!
So Zhang Yun would then take Su Ruizhe back and take care of it. As a result, Su Ruizhe was lucky to inspire the dual abilities of wood and space abilities. At that time, with his ability, Zhang Yun had formed a small team of about a hundred people, stationed in a factory, depending on the thick steel gate and high wall of the factory, it was a safe place. Zhang Yun was satisfied with his ability, so he offered to let him join his team. But Su Ruizhe could not rest assured of his uncle’s family’s safety, so he proposed to bring his family together. Although he was not very patient, Zhang Yun agreed.
At first, when they were able to join Zhang Yun’s team, the uncle’s family was still very happy. There were so many people protecting them and there was food to eat every day. Wouldn’t they be happy enough to die? But before long, because of the food shortage, Zhang Yun changed the rules of food distribution, making it clear that his team did not care for idle people. Even ordinary people also had to fight with the dead, or go out to collect materials, otherwise, they would not be given food in the distribution.
Although it is said that after being scratched or bitten by a zombie, it may trigger a power to become a Superhuman, there is also a great possibility of death. Uncle and his family are selfish and fearful of life and death. How could they risk their lives to go out?
The elder aunt came to him and asked him, because Su Ruizhe was a space system powerhouse, so part of Zhang Yun’s materials were stored in his space. At that time, he had regarded his aunt as his closest relative. Naturally, he couldn’t bear them to suffer from hunger, so he stole some food for them.
Such behavior was soon discovered, and Zhang Yun set off a fierce fire and took everything back from Su Ruizhe. He was transferred to be only responsible for the fast-growing and full-bellied food like potatoes and sweet potatoes, which were stimulated by wood powers.
In fact, Su Ruizhe also knew that it was very bad behavior to give his relatives the materials of Zhang Yun’s team, so he went to the fields without complaint and obediently.
Later, Zhan Yun did not know what was going on and suddenly began to pursue him…
He didn’t know if it was because Zhang Yun saved him at that time. He had a chick complex for Zhang Yun. Once he came and went, the two people would be happy. At that time, the elder aunt did not express any dissatisfaction when she learned about it.
But then, as fewer and fewer people live in the city, the survivors became the targets of the zombies. The gates of factories are strong enough to withstand the tireless attacks of zombies day and night. When the gate was broken, Zhang Yun took a group of people to take the lead and rushed out, leading some of the corpses away so that others could escape. In the end, only a small number of people escaped, and Su Ruizhe and his uncle’s family survived.
They fled all the way and fled without knowing what kind of day it was until they met another team and learned that the country had established a base to receive all the survivors. This team happened to be near Lincheng Base. When they learned that Su Ruizhe’s dual-abilities, they immediately invited them to go to Lincheng Base together.
The uncle and his family had been fed up with all this time surviving outside and wanted only to find a place to settle down. When they heard the description of Lincheng, they immediately said they wanted to go to Lincheng base.
On the surface, Lincheng Base looks really good. His wood and space abilities are very popular, and he gets very good treatment. But later he met Zhang Yun again. Zhang Yun told him that it was not as simple as it appeared. Zhang Yun hoped that Su Ruizhe would go to the capital with him.
Instead of answering him immediately, Su Ruizhe said that he wanted to think about it.
As a result, when he returned, he went to his eldest aunt to discuss the matter.
The elder aunt saw his hesitation, and immediately pulled him to start telling him about the true face of Zhang Yun. She said that he was actually a gangster and not a policeman at all. She said that when he collected materials, he broke in and killed many innocent people. She said that when the factory was surrounded by zombies, he was not trying to get rid of them at all, but took the lead in running for his life, trying to bait the remaining people. She said that he was only a liar full of lies, one by one, all of which had a nose and eyes, and did not know where to find a few ‘witnesses’. *
In the end, Su Ruizhe made a decision that he regretted for the rest of his life. He believed Chen Huizhen’s lie and pushed his loved one away from him personally. When he learns the truth in the future, he regrets it too much.
This life, he must not repeat the same mistake!!!
Su Ruizhe decided that he would confess to Zhang Yun!
“Brother Zhan, I have something to tell you.”
Zhang Yun looked at Su Ruizhe’s firm eyes, and a very unknown feeling loomed in his heart.
When they returned to the room, Su Ruizhe considered what to say and began to narrate slowly all the things about his rebirth, about the apocalypse, about abilities, and about his space.
“That’s all. What do you want to say?” Su Ruizhe looked at Zhang Yun with trepidation.
At first, Zhang Yun only felt ridiculous, but the more he heard it, the more frightened he felt. Although Su Ruizhe’s remarks were incredible, there was a voice in his heart telling him that what Su Ruizhe had just said was true. Especially after Su Ruizhe showed his space ability, Zhang Yun had to believe that the apocalypse might really be coming.
After inquiring about some details about the apocalypse, Zhang Yun suddenly asked, “So, we are actually a couple? Do you like me, too?”
“Ah…?” Su Ruizhe stared at Zhang Yun dully, wondering why the focus suddenly shifted to that.
“No wonder I find you so pleasing to the eye.”
“…” Su Ruizhe is a little speechless.
“You should have told me earlier.” Zhang Yun is a little distressed by Su Ruizhe’s hard work these days. He spends all his time outside to earn money. Originally, he was trying to cope with the coming doomsday. “Two people working together is better than one.”
“You, don’t you intend to report this to me…?”
Zhang Yun shook his head. It is impossible for anyone to believe such a thing unless Su Ruizhe showed his powers just like he did now. But even if they did so, then they believed their words, but the end of the world will still come, and human greed is endless. Someone like Su Ruizhe who had powers before the apocalypse would definitely be in direct custody, or even used to do some experiments. This is why Su Ruizhe died in his previous life. It is impossible for him to experience such a thing again.
As for publicity, it’s even more impossible. Not to mention that most people would sneer at it as a prank. Just publishing such panic-provoking news would be enough for them to stay in prison for a while. Not only will they not be able to help anybody, but they may even bring themselves harm.
It’s better to keep silent and keep a low profile in preparing materials. Wait till the eve of the apocalypse, and then remind them of it. Publish some information about the apocalypse on the internet, which will help them prepare for it.
*They’re both so nice in wanting to warn and help other people T^T*
The author has something to say:
