Reborn In The Apocalypse: It Had Always Been You Novel - Chapter 42

Chapter 42: Department Store
The two of them headed to the department store. The closer they got to the center, the more zombies there were. Su Shanshan and Gu Zhao were greeted by two level-two zombies.

“These zombies are getting stronger and stronger. Even level-two zombies are appearing in pairs.” After killing the last level-two zombie, Su Shanshan took a sip of water from Gu Zhao.

They had solved a crisis, but that was only temporary. There were still many zombies in front of them. Judging by the current situation, there was a high chance that a level-four zombie would show up in the center of the city.

Gu Zhao frowned and asked, “Why do you have to go to that place?”

Su Shanshan suddenly fell silent. After a while, she patted Gu Zhao’s shoulder and said, “Gu Zhao, I want to give Gu Jincheng a gift. I owe him this. Whether you believe it or not, I want to… treat him better.”

Gu Zhao’s body stiffened. It had been so many days, and this was the first time she mentioned his master. He had thought that she still hated his master, but unexpectedly…

If he had heard these words previously, he would be sincerely happy for his master. But now, he felt as if his heart was being roasted on a flame. The guilt in his heart made him say hoarsely, “Chairman Gu is already here.”

Su Shanshan quickly tugged at him to avoid a new wave of zombies. After the two of them avoided the crisis, Su Shanshan asked, “What did you just say?” She was focusing on the dangerous situation and did not hear what he said.

Gu Zhao controlled the wind blades in his hands to attack the surrounding zombies as he said, “We’ll talk about this later. Let’s go first.”

Su Shanshan also knew that now was not the time to talk. She nodded and charged forward. Gu Zhao intercepted the zombies behind her. This was the rapport that the two of them had formed over time.

The two of them quickly walked towards the center. A group of people were also walking in that direction.

Gu Ling held the back of Fei Lan’s collar. He had to use a lot of effort to subdue him. Gu Ling threatened fiercely, “If you cause trouble again, I’ll throw you out to feed the zombies.”

After saying that, he pretended to push him out. In front of Fei Lan was a group of zombies with red eyes. Fei Lan gulped in fear, but he was adamant. He closed his eyes and said, “I won’t let you find Sister Shanshan even if I die. Kill me if you dare.”

Gu Ling sighed and explained again, “We don’t have any ill intentions towards Su Shanshan. We’ve already explained many times, but you still don’t understand.”

Over the past few days, this kid had been causing some trouble from time to time, attracting zombies to block their way. They could not chase him away. Because of Su Shanshan, Boss did not kill him. They ended up wandering outside for a few days without finding Su Shanshan. It really worried Gu Ling.

Fei Lan did not believe it at all. If they were really good people, Gu Zhao would not have left with Sister Shanshan right away. However, after spending the past few days together, Fei Lan was a little uncertain.

“Unless you tell me what your relationship with Sister Shanshan is,” he said.

Gu Ling could not answer immediately. Their relationship with Su Shanshan was really a little complicated. They could not say that they were her family.

He was very unhappy with Fei Lan’s smug expression. He glanced at Gu Jincheng who was sitting in the car.

In the car, Gu Jincheng widened his eyes and said, “She’s my lover.”

He did not say who he was to Su Shanshan. He was not sure about that. But the only thing he was sure of was that he would only love Su Shanshan in his life.

Fei Lan opened his mouth and looked through the car window at the man inside. For some reason, he suddenly believed what he said. After a while, he said, “Sister Shanshan said that she wanted to go to the department store in the city center to get something.”

After Gu Jincheng nodded, Gu Ling directly pulled Fei Lan into the car. Without his disturbance, they headed towards the department store without any obstacles.

…

At this moment, Su Shanshan and Gu Zhao had just arrived at the department store. She looked up at the building that was six storeys high and her eyes darkened. This was the most dangerous place. In her previous life, the army deployed soldiers from three camps who took half a year to suppress the zombies here..
