Chapter 69 – Apocalypse Arc: Zombie Siege: Rebirth in the Apocalypse—My Secret Lover (07)
When Bai Yun took Bai Tang out, Shao Licang was in the middle of an important meeting, and the bodyguards didn’t dare disturb him. Instead, they sought instructions from his deputy and He Lang.
He Lang was someone Shao Licang had rescued, and ever since then, he had been utterly devoted to him. He usually served as Shao Licang’s butler and was deeply trusted. Knowing that Bai Tang was the little treasure of Shao Licang’s heart, he immediately decided to follow them to ensure nothing happened.
It had been a long time since Bai Tang had wandered around the modern world. Everything felt both familiar and foreign, but soon, this peaceful world would cease to exist.
“Tang Tang, stay close to your sister,” Bai Yun reminded him over and over again, uneasy.
“Okay,” Bai Tang agreed on the surface, but in his heart, he silently whispered, Sorry, Sister.
While attending an anime convention with Bai Yun, Bai Tang took advantage of the chaos caused by the cosplayers to “accidentally” break free from Bai Yun’s grip and disappear into the crowd. Guided by the system’s map, he slipped through the crowd and exited the convention through the back door.
He Lang quickly navigated through the costumed cosplayers and followed after Bai Tang.
“Tang Tang, someone is following us,” the system warned as a red dot on the map approached.
He Lang trailed Bai Tang into an alleyway, but as he reached the dead end, Bai Tang had mysteriously vanished.
Ring, ring, ring—
He Lang answered the call.
“He Lang.” It was Shao Licang’s voice. “Is Tang Tang with you?”
“I’m sorry, Boss. I lost him,” He Lang stated concisely before relaying the situation.
The only response was the sound of a door slamming shut before the call abruptly ended.
After finishing his meeting, Shao Licang had gone to Bai Tang’s room with his favorite snacks, only to find that he was missing. Panic surged through him. A bodyguard reminded him that Bai Tang had gone out with Bai Yun. Forcing himself to stay calm, he called He Lang, only to hear that Bai Tang had disappeared.
In that instant, it felt as if the sky had collapsed.
Tang Tang didn’t know his way around. What if he ran into danger?
His car sped through the streets. His face was tense, his heart filled with constant prayers—Tang Tang, please be safe.
At the same time, Bai Yun also realized that Bai Tang was missing and was frantically searching for him.
Meanwhile, He Lang stood guard at the entrance of the alleyway, scanning the surroundings.
Above him, a small shadow swiftly darted past.
Transformed into a squirrel, Bai Tang scurried to an isolated spot, changed back into his human form, hailed a taxi, and gave the driver the heroine Tan Qingqing’s address, which he had obtained from the system.
At that moment, Tan Qingqing had rented a warehouse in the suburbs, where she had all the supplies she purchased delivered before storing them in her space.
Having a portable space really is convenient.
She had nearly maxed out her rich second-generation boyfriend’s credit card, and now he was bombarding her with frantic calls.
Tan Qingqing sneered at the caller ID and, without hesitation, blocked the number.
In just two months, the apocalypse would begin—she was looking forward to it.
Meanwhile, Bai Tang transformed back into a small squirrel, climbed onto a warehouse beam, and watched as Tan Qingqing exuded an air of arrogance and satisfaction. Opening the system’s marketplace, he purchased a reset device, carefully aimed, and threw it directly at the jade pendant hanging around her neck.
“Who’s there?” Tan Qingqing, sensing someone on the beams, quickly raised her hand.
“Tang Tang, jump—”
Just as Bai Tang leaped onto a neighboring beam, he glanced back and saw that the spot he had been sitting on was now covered in a thin layer of ice.
This world has too many anomalies. The female supporting character is a transmigrator, and now the heroine has awakened her powers early?
The system was shocked. Tan Qingqing seemed to have a precise lock on Bai Tang’s location, finding him effortlessly each time. Before long, the beams were completely coated in frost.\
