☆、 Pure, Soft, and Cute Little Zombie Shou, Possessive and Overbearing Ability User Gong (45)
Shen Xuanmo ignored the woman behind him who was gritting her teeth, secretly filled with resentment. His movements were gentle and slow as he quickly returned to the small building that belonged only to him and Nan Qing.
He gently placed the youth on the sofa, revealing the youth’s pale and delicate face as he removed his coat.
Shen Xuanmo recalled Nan Qing’s reaction today, unable to control his feelings, a sense of unease arose spontaneously.
He gently stroked the youth’s head, “Don’t be afraid, I will always protect you.” Sleep, a good night’s sleep and you’ll be fine…
“Alright, let’s talk now.” The man’s voice was as indifferent as ever, revealing not a trace of emotion.
The group of people saw Shen Xuanmo’s cold gaze and couldn’t help but feel a sense of apprehension.
“Brother Shen, I know you have a misunderstanding about me, but I’m really thinking about everyone…”
Su Qingqing could be said to have no scruples now. She had spent a lot of effort finding out that the youth was just an idiot. Even if he knew she had pushed him, what could he do?
No one would take an idiot’s words seriously. A hint of smug cunning flashed in her eyes, and she quickly returned to the pitiful, wronged victim she pretended to be.
“I… I almost thought I wouldn’t… see everyone again…” As she spoke, she wiped away non-existent tears, looking as wronged as possible.
Shen Xuanmo’s gaze was fixed on Su Qingqing’s face, trying to find a trace of flaw in her expression.
But Su Qingqing spoke with great emotion and a firm gaze, without the slightest dodge.
If it weren’t for the apocalypse, probably no one would believe her nonsense.
Most of the people in the crowd were from the group that had gone out together last time. They listened quietly to Su Qingqing’s story, their faces not showing much emotion, but their eyes gradually softening.
“Su Qingqing, I believe you, but today’s matter was too dangerous. Don’t act so recklessly in the future,” someone agreed.
A trace of surprise flashed in Su Qingqing’s eyes, “Really? That’s great! I knew everyone would understand me!”
Some people continued to remain silent, half-believing the woman’s words.
To this, Shen Xuanmo nodded slightly. In short, many people already thought she was innocent, and there was no evidence to prove anything.
Fortunately, this time wasn’t a complete waste of a risky sacrifice. These supplies were enough for them to live in the base for a month and a half.
Su Qingqing’s gaze had not left the man’s body since he came in.
She was still not reconciled. What did these people matter? Only Shen Xuanmo’s belief was the most important.
“Brother Shen, I know it’s hard for you to believe me, but I really haven’t done anything to let anyone down. Those supplies were brought back by me at the risk of my life. They mean survival to us…”
“I… encountered many dangers in the process of finding supplies.” Su Qingqing’s voice began to tremble, obviously looking like she was recalling those terrible experiences.
A complex emotion welled up in the hearts of the crowd. They weren’t heartless. Su Qingqing’s words moved the people present, except for Shen Xuanmo alone.
“Su Qingqing, I hope what you said is true.” Shen Xuanmo turned around, his voice still cold.
“But, if I find out you have any deception, I won’t give you another chance.”
“What about you, do you have anything to say?”
“No, let’s just believe her this time.” The crowd shook their heads, indicating that they had no objection. The base’s highest administrator had spoken, so naturally they had no objections, nor dared to have any.
“During this time, except for essential personnel, don’t leave the base for now.” He always felt that the appearance of these zombies was too unusual.
“Meeting dismissed!” Shen Xuanmo ignored the crowd and strode away.
At this time, night was approaching, the sky was a hazy gray, with a hint of oppressiveness.
The distance wasn’t far, but by the time he walked to the room, it was already pitch black.
It had been several months since the zombie virus outbreak and infection, and the power grid had long since failed.
He skillfully took out two candles from the cabinet next to the door and lit them. Before long, the dim room was illuminated.
He glanced at the youth who was still asleep, afraid of disturbing him, so he didn’t even take off his clothes, simply lying down next to Nan Qing.
But Nan Qing seemed to have already slept enough, and woke up slowly the moment he lay down.
Seeing Shen Xuanmo, his eyes were complicated, and he didn’t interrupt.
Shen Xuanmo hugged him tightly with heartache and whispered, “Nan Qing, do you feel better?” The youth nodded.
Nan Qing wasn’t very clear about what happened during the day, but his chest felt stuffy, conveying emotions of fear and unease.
But he could vaguely understand what was going on from the fragmented memories of himself during the day. Perhaps he still had to leave this gentle village that the man had built specifically for him as soon as possible, and finding his brother was the most important thing.
On the other side, Su Qingqing secretly rejoiced, thinking that her whitewashing plan was very successful.
But what she didn’t know was that although Shen Xuanmo temporarily believed her on the surface, he had secretly sent people to monitor her movements.
It was pitiful that she was still racking her brains, wondering how to completely get rid of the annoying youth. If it weren’t for him, with her beauty, no man could remain unmoved. It was all that fox spirit’s fault.
Making her live in such fear every day.
A few days later, Shen Xuanmo relaxed his surveillance of Su Qingqing, and even arranged for her to go out on missions every time, collecting supplies. The reason was that the supplies needed a lot of space to store, and she was the only Ability User with space abilities here.
Su Qingqing didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. No one told her that being the rarest Ability User would be so hard.
If she had known this, why bother in the first place! She shouldn’t have told Shen Xuanmo about her ability.
Suddenly, she thought of Nan Qing again, and she was even more annoyed, wishing she could chop him into pieces to vent the hatred in her heart.
A few days later, Su Qingqing got her wish and got the opportunity on the way out on a mission.
“You want me to bring him out? That’s impossible!” Shen Xuanmo was watching him so closely that she usually couldn’t even see Nan Qing’s shadow.
“It’s up to you whether you do it or not, but you only have this one chance.” The man’s mouth was filled with ridicule, a tone of being confident of success.
“I… I understand.” Su Qingqing couldn’t argue anymore. The man was wearing a black hat, unable to see his true face, but what was certain was that he seemed to know what she was thinking, leaving her nowhere to hide.
What was hateful was that she had gone to his door with various reasons for several days in a row, trying to approach Nan Qing, but she had been turned away every time.
Finally catching the time when Shen Xuanmo was away, Su Qingqing gritted her teeth and decided to take a gamble.
Not long after Shen Xuanmo left, she sneaked into the small building where the two were staying under the cover of night.
She had observed for several days and found that Shen Xuanmo would go out to patrol alone for a while every night at this time. The time wasn’t long, and she had to act quickly.
The door wasn’t closed, and she successfully entered the house silently.
Nan Qing was sitting on the bed in a daze. Hearing the movement, he thought the man had returned, but suddenly saw Su Qingqing appear…
