Gu Zhao carried Su Shanshan back to the antique store. Along the way, he picked up the crystal core that the zombie baby had dropped. There was a little fluorescent light in the white crystal.
He found a small room inside and set her down on the couch. This was the place where he had been hurt the last time. This time it was Su Shanshan.
But if he could, he would rather be the one with the injuries.
The wound had to be treated immediately. Feeling unprepared, Gu Zhao looked at Su Shanshan, who was lying on the sofa.
Gu Zhao gave himself a tight slap. “Why am I thinking about these things at a time like this?” he thought. He closed his eyes and tore off her top, but he did not notice that Su Shanshan’s body had touched the crystal core beside the bed. The crystal core disappeared in an instant.
…
Another group of people arrived at the entrance of City M.
“President Gu, this is City M. There are too many zombies. We need to get out of the car and go in.” The locator in Gu Ling’s hand kept flashing a red light.
It was proof that Su Shanshan was here.
Gu Jincheng got out of the car without delay and said, “Let’s go in.”
Gu Ling was not surprised at all. No matter what kind of danger it was, as long as Miss Su was there, President Gu would barge in.
Gu Jincheng took action directly. He shot three arm-thick lightning bolts, instantly clearing a path.
Gu Ling and the others watched enviously. It was frustrating for them to compare themselves to Gu Jincheng. They had all awakened their special abilities after the apocalypse. They wondered why the difference between them was so huge?
…
Gu Zhao was bandaging Su Shanshan’s wound. Fortunately, the first aid box she had taken out earlier had not been put back in the storage space. Otherwise, it would have been troublesome.
Fei Lan walked in, and his eyes widened when he saw Su Shanshan’s bare back. Although there was a long scar on it, it did not lessen her beauty in the slightest. Instead, it added a sense of decadent beauty.
Gu Zhao’s expression turned cold as he covered her back with his jacket.
Fei Lan said, “I’m here to tell you that Sister Shanshan used her water power to save you last time.”
As he said this, a trace of envy flashed across his eyes. Sister Shanshan actually had three types of superpower. However, when he thought of the wood type of superpower that he had just awakened, he was content.
Gu Zhao frowned and took out a glass of water abruptly. Inside was the water that Su Shanshan had asked him to drink. She had poured a lot of water at once, saving some for the next time. Now there was just enough to treat her injuries.
“I got it. You may leave,” Gu Zhao said coldly.
Fei Lan said, “Just let me stay here. Our hometown has a tradition. If you see a girl’s back, you have to marry her. With me here, you can clarify things later on.”
The whirlwind in Gu Zhao’s hand slowly rose and Fei Lan tactfully ran out.
The whirlwind disappeared. As Gu Zhao removed the jacket he had draped over Su Shanshan, he thought about what Fei Lan had just said. “If I see a girl’s back, I’ll have to marry her.”
If it was true, he was willing.
He slowly poured the water from the glass onto her back. The wound quickly absorbed the spiritual spring water and began to turn from black to red. The scab slowly healed. Gu Zhao thought about it, then gently held her in his arms and fed her the remaining water from the glass.
The usually cold Gu Zhao’s eyes were now filled with tenderness. This was a gentleness that he would never dare let Su Shanshan see when she was awake. He had clearly finished feeding her water, but still he did not let go. He looked at Su Shanshan in his arms, lost in thought.
Her tightly shut eyes had curled eyelashes. She had an exquisite nose and small lips. However, her lips were too pale.
By the time he came back to his senses, his finger was already on her lips. Realizing what he had done, Gu Zhao let go of her abruptly and stood up to calm his breathing. “What am I doing?” he berated himself. “Taking advantage of Miss Su’s unconsciousness? I really deserve to die.”
At the same time, a thought arose in his mind. “The apocalypse has come and the entire world is in chaos. If Master and Miss Su cannot meet again, will I have a chance?”
He could not control his thoughts, and his little secret gave him a sense of happiness and sweetness.
“No, I can’t be like this. This way, I will be betraying Master.” He punched himself. “How can I have such thoughts?”
Fei Lan, who had just pushed open the door, saw this scene. Before he could express his surprise, there was the sound of footsteps.
He said quickly, “A group of people said they are here to look for Sister Shanshan. The man in the lead looks like a big shot. I can’t stop them. They’re coming in.”
Gu Zhao’s body stiffened.. He instantly knew who they were.
