Chapter 235 – Doctor, Please Don’t Raise Zombies (25)
—Aren’t you a clean freak? Don’t you have OCD?
—Well, here you go! Here you go!
—Come on, you must feel uncomfortable!
While rubbing herself against Yan Che, Yan Luo muttered under her breath. Her fingers slipped, and with a ripping sound, a long tear appeared in Yan Che’s clothes.
Hmm, that was a bit too obvious.
Her fingers paused slightly, but without looking up, she slowly withdrew her hand, pretending as if nothing had happened.
Seeing the little guy’s innocent expression, Yan Che couldn’t help but smile. His lips curled up no matter how hard he tried to suppress it.
His clothes were now stained by her, with a long tear adding to the disheveled look, making him seem like someone struggling to survive in an apocalyptic world.
He reached out and ruffled Yan Luo’s hair, half-encircling her in his arms. “Still mad, Luoluo?”
Yan Luo looked up in dissatisfaction. What was with that look of his? Like she had bullied him, and he didn’t even dare to fight back?
—Excuse me?! You were the one bullying me!
Nope, she won’t stop being mad!
Yan Che heard the little girl snort beside him. She was trying to push him away, creating some distance between them, but his arm only tightened around her. Just as he was about to speak, another voice interrupted them.
“Stop! Don’t move!”
They had been discovered by that convoy.
Yan Che’s gaze darkened slightly, though his face remained impassive. He tightened his grip on the restless girl in his arms and looked up with a lazy smile.
Three military trucks were parked in front of them, with about twenty armed men surrounding them aggressively.
Among them, Cheng Xiaoxiao held a gun, frowning as she studied Yan Che. He looked familiar, yet as she scanned his outfit, a trace of doubt flickered in her eyes. Among the people she knew… there was no one with such a distinctive style, right?
It wasn’t surprising they were being so cautious. In this era, everyone was struggling to survive, self-preservation was the priority. But these two… their casual strides, their relaxed demeanor, their lack of any real disarray, it was as if they were just out for a leisurely stroll.
And with how strange the surrounding circumstances were, suspicion was inevitable.
Could it be that another base had already sent people ahead? Or were these two some powerful ability users?
“What’s your purpose here?” Cheng Xiaoxiao asked, her brow furrowed. She pointed her gun directly at Yan Che, her stance full of warning.
Even though she couldn’t quite place where she had seen him before, the aura surrounding him felt incredibly dangerous.
As for the girl in his arms…
Cheng Xiaoxiao’s expression darkened slightly, her eyes flashing with disdain.
Even in times like these, someone still cared about her appearance?
Dressed like that, with no defenses whatsoever, in such an unsafe area—was she just waiting to die?
Another woman relying on a man to survive in this apocalypse…
That thought had barely formed when an inexplicable chill ran down Cheng Xiaoxiao’s spine. Her body trembled, an uneasy feeling creeping up inside her. Instinctively, she took a step back, and her teammates let out startled exclamations.
When she regained her balance and looked up, she saw the man’s smile slowly turning cold.
One hand still holding the girl, his other hand lifted slightly.
Suddenly, green vines spread out from nowhere, enveloping everyone.
The gun Cheng Xiaoxiao had been holding was tightly wrapped by a vine, which coiled and tightened until it snapped the weapon into pieces.
A collective gasp filled the air.
