Chapter 27
Du Ruan carried the feverish Chu Mohe with worry spread across his face. The number of zombies around them had increased and Third Brother and himself were bitten once. He was unsure of Third Brother’s situation.
Du Ruan looked at his Boss, who maintained a cold face as he continued to execute the zombies, and spoke up. “Boss, why don’t you guys go ahead first?”
Cold air was emitted from Yun Huan’s body as his speed in killing zombies became faster. He pursed up his thin lips, but his complexion became paler.
Lin Qing and Lin Bai were at their respective flanks killing zombies and shouted towards Du Ruan: “What bullshit are you talking about? We will definitely not leave!”
With that said, he quickened his movements. But as a wave of zombies were killed, another wave surrounded them.
The three started to perspire in cold sweat as their complexions became paler. Their physical endurance was evidently at the limit.
Du Ruan was moved. Third Brother and himself were already infected and the likelihood of transforming into zombies were extremely high, but they were unwilling to give up on them.
‘This camaraderie, this spirit of loyalty, is worth it.’
Compared to the five of them dying here, he hoped that Boss and the others could survive and live on well.
He could clearly sense the sickness flowing in his body. His blood had solidified, and he believed that he would turn soon.
Du Ruan was about to speak up when he saw a land rover in the distance. His eyes lit up. ‘There’s a car, which means there are people.’
But the brilliance in his eyes immediately dimmed down again. ‘So what if there are people? No one would be willing to save us in this situation.’
Right when Du Ruan was in despair, he sensed someone walking towards him.
He focused and saw an exceptionally good-looking youth who had charged into the zombies with a big knife and immediately slaughtered more than half of them.
Inside the Land Rover, Qin Yi drove as she glanced at Yun Huan who was resting behind and her thoughts floated into a distant memory.
In her previous life, countless bases were constructed. Some belonged to governments and some that belonged to powerful awakened users that had built it from the ground up. The most famous bases were the Kyoto Base and Z-City Rescue District, but the most mysterious one was the Empire.
Yes, the most mysterious base was called the Empire and the chief of the base was Yun Huan, whom people had respectfully hailed as the Young Emperor.
The mystery of the Empire was that no one knew its exact location, while the people of the Empire were extremely united. The relationship between Yun Huan and his five brothers were so firm that there was never once a vie for power.
The Young Emperor was equally as mysterious and always donned a mask every time he appeared, leaving very few that had seen his real face.
But Qin Yi had witnessed it before. At that time, she was faced against six awakened zombies and almost lost her life. It was Yun Huan who had saved her.
At that time, although Yun Huan did not wear a mask, the famous fox Lin Qing from the Empire was by his side. That was how Qin Yi came to know that her savior was Young Emperor Yun Huan.
Maybe saving her was merely a convenience to Yun Huan, but to Qin Yi, it was an extremely large grace.
However, Qin Yi was never able to repay her favor and was caught by Qin Jiaojiao and sent to Doctor Lin, so she felt the need to return the favor in this life.
In the car, Du Ruan could no longer endure and fell unconscious. Out of the five, two of Yun Huan’s group had been poisoned and although the remaining three were not bitten, they had overly exhausted themselves.
Lin Qing rested for a moment before regaining his senses. He looked at the youth driving the vehicle and could not hide the shock in his eyes.
He had always believed that no one was capable of comparing to his Boss, but the youth before him was in no way inferior compared to the Boss in terms of looks or his imposing manner.
