Li Chuan: “You’ve worked hard, Ke’er. Go treat Jia Ni in a little while.”
Although Xu Ke’er said all the right things, she was actually disgusted with several of the women in the team.
She wrapped herself around Li Chuan’s arm and pressed it against her chest, speaking in a delicate voice.
“Then you’ll come find me tonight, Brother Chuan, right?”
Li Chuan lowered his head and kissed Xu Ke’er on the forehead before agreeing.
Bai Yan was practically going to throw up.
These two were supposed to be the protagonists?
Roar!
Bai Yan immediately turned around and brought her knife down on the zombie that had suddenly appeared behind her.
The attack alerted the protagonist’s team.
She was just about to use Instant Teleportation to escape when a man with a Speed ability grabbed her wrist and violently pulled her in front of Li Chuan.
When Li Chuan saw the girl’s face after she was roughly shoved in front of him, his eyes filled with amazement.
He had never seen such a breathtakingly beautiful woman before. Even before the apocalypse, he had never encountered anyone like her.
Seeing his infatuated expression, Xu Ke’er glared at Bai Yan jealously and snapped angrily.
“Where did this wild chicken come from? What are you sneaking around here trying to do?”
Li Chuan came back to his senses after hearing Xu Ke’er and harshly scolded her in a warning tone.
“Ke’er, what’s gotten into you? You’re acting like a shrew. Where’s your dignity?”
Xu Ke’er was so frightened by his words that she took several steps backward. Her body trembled as she began to sob softly.
“Ke’er, Ke’er just wanted to protect Brother Chuan. She’s suspicious and was hiding in the shadows. Ke’er was afraid she would hurt Brother Chuan… sob…”
Bai Yan had no time to watch these two put on an act.
They had already seen her real face. If she used Instant Teleportation to leave now, it would be the same as telling the protagonist’s team that Lu Ming was here.
Should she just kill them all?
Li Chuan: “Little girl, why are you here all by yourself?”
Bai Yan’s eyes reddened. Her alluring fox-like eyes glistened with tears as she blinked, her body trembling slightly while she spoke in a frightened, tearful voice.
“I… I originally lived around here. I didn’t expect to run into you while I was out looking for supplies. I… I was scared, so I instinctively hid… sob sob~”
Li Chuan’s ears turned red. He visibly swallowed, his heart pounding as he fell in love with the girl at first sight.
Bai Yan: What a rookie. Did you really think this beauty couldn’t charm you?
Li Chuan: “Ahem… I see. Are you hurt? Are you living here alone?”
Bai Yan could not help crying after hearing that.
“Wah… I… I originally lived here with my brother, but my brother was bitten by a zombie while protecting me…”
After learning that she was alone, Li Chuan could barely contain his excitement.
He immediately put an arm around Bai Yan’s shoulders and led her toward the building the team had cleared out.
Bai Yan felt her stomach churn when he put his arm around her.
She secretly wondered what kind of move she should use to snap this brat’s arm to vent her anger.
Xu Ke’er’s expression darkened the moment the two entered the room.
After Bai Yan entered, she noticed several women sitting on the bed.
These women seemed to be the core members of Li Chuan’s team, or in other words, his harem.
Xiao Le’er: “Chuan, who is this woman?”
Li Chuan brought Bai Yan over to a chair and sat her down.
“She is a survivor from this area. Starting today, she is also a member of our team.”
Wang Jia Ni: “Huh? Why? Is she a Supernatural Ability user?”
Ruan Ruan: “A-Chuan, everyone on our team is at least Level 2, and she…”
Bai Yan: Didn’t I ever agree to join?
Li Chuan twirled a strand of Bai Yan’s hair around his finger.
“It’s fine even if she doesn’t have an ability. I really can’t bear to leave a young girl like her here alone.”
Bai Yan: Damn brat. Does he not want his hand anymore?
Zhang Yan Lin: “No ability? Brother Li, you’re just too kind. Saving her is one thing, but having her join our team is a little…”
Bai Yan: You people must all be blind. Too kind? Ugh!
Li Chuan: “So, do you have a Supernatural Ability? Don’t be afraid. It’s fine if you don’t. With me here, I definitely won’t let you get hurt.”
Bai Yan: “Um… I’m a Level 1 Water-type.”
(Bai Yan’s inner thoughts: I really want to slap you to death. And you being here is exactly why this book is such a disaster.)
Li Chuan: “Water type? No wonder you look so clean.”
Bai Yan was questioned by them in the room for quite a while.
She glanced out the window. The sunlight was already painfully bright.
It had already been well into the latter half of the night when she encountered them, so it was probably already noon the next day.
Lu Ming must be hungry.
Although he usually endured the physical pain as much as possible, Bai Yan was not stupid. She could tell from his perpetually pale lips and the fine sweat constantly appearing on his forehead.
He must be both hungry and in pain right now.
She really wanted to hurry back.
Li Chuan: “Here. This is your portion.”
Bai Yan accepted the compressed biscuit and small bottle of mineral water Li Chuan handed her.
She looked up at the people sitting across from her.
There were more than thirty people who had come here. Only the five women from the male protagonist’s team were female. Everyone else was male.
These people’s levels were all above Level 2. Including the male protagonist, there were even three Level 4 ability users among them.
0315 had said that both the male and female protagonists possessed some kind of luck halo and destiny. They could not be killed casually.
For Lu Ming’s safety and her own, she absolutely could not allow even one percent of uncertainty.
The safest option was to find an opportunity to escape.
The men gnawed on their biscuits while occasionally glancing at Bai Yan.
The five women were furious at the sight. All of them glared viciously at Bai Yan.
Xu Ke’er: “Isn’t it strange that a survivor suddenly appeared here?”
Ruan Ruan: “Exactly. There are so many zombies here. We didn’t encounter a single survivor on the way, and then she suddenly appeared…”
Zhang Yan Lin: “Hey! Tell us the truth. Could it be that you rescued that useless, ugly freak and hid him here?”
What?
Useless, ugly freak?
Bai Yan clenched her back teeth. She really wanted to cut out this woman’s tongue.
Li Chuan: “How could that be? Didn’t my Rou’er show you her Water ability last night?”
Guo Rou was a name Bai Yan had made up for herself.
The others had been somewhat wary, but after hearing Li Chuan say this, they relaxed again.
After all, no human had ever been able to possess two or more Supernatural Abilities at the same time.
Whenever Lu Ming was awake, he would keep staring at Bai Yan’s bed.
She had said that she would not abandon him and would definitely return around mealtime.
But from yesterday afternoon until now, the girl had not returned.
He was anxious inside, afraid that she might have encountered danger.
Li Chuan?
That name suddenly surfaced in his mind.
Right. She had said that Li Chuan was nearby. They were supposed to escape tomorrow!
No! No!
She would not run into him!
She would be fine!
The more Lu Ming thought about it, the more frightened he became. His expression twisted as he desperately tried to support his body with his left hand.
She was in danger.
He had to go save her!
