“Sorry, Liu,” Cui Xisheng said coldly, “I’m anemic and feeling really dizzy. I don’t have the energy to teach you. Also, can you just let me rest for a while?”
Cui Xisheng’s sneering and blunt rejection left Liu Anna stunned.
She saw the disgust in Cui Xisheng’s eyes—she had never been so openly disliked by a guy before. Her face stiffened, and she awkwardly said, “Sorry… go ahead and rest.”
Stealing a glance at Cui Xisheng’s resting face, Liu Anna frowned. Why did it feel like this guy had some kind of grudge against her?
This should’ve been their first meeting. She hadn’t said anything offensive either—so why was he acting like he couldn’t stand her?
So rude. No wonder Meng Jiangtian didn’t bother introducing them. This kind of person probably wasn’t liked by Meng Jiangtian either.
Liu Anna was someone who loved socializing. Since Cui Xisheng didn’t want to talk, she simply went off to chat with others.
In the apocalypse, when fear gripped everyone, she flitted through the crowd like a beautiful butterfly. Her charming smile did help calm some people down.
Her likeable personality made many willing to talk to her. As Liu Anna moved through the crowd, she quickly gathered information about a lot of people.
She likely even found someone willing to teach her medicine.
Finally, Cui Xisheng had some peace and quiet. He squinted, silently observing the scene around him.
Aside from Meng Jiangtian, there were about four other people with powers. The five of them kept going back and forth, bringing in more survivors.
Meng Jiangtian, being a wind-type user, had it easier rescuing people and had saved the most. He occasionally glanced toward Cui Xisheng, his face expressionless before leaving again.
Cui Xisheng eventually got tired sitting there and unknowingly fell asleep. When he woke, he was lying on the ground, and the scent at the tip of his nose was extremely familiar.
It wasn’t perfume—it was the scent that belonged solely to Meng Jiangtian.
Cui Xisheng snapped awake. The crowd around him was noisy and chaotic, filled with yelling voices. Beneath his head was Meng Jiangtian’s jacket.
And in front of him stood Meng Jiangtian himself. Liu Anna clung to his arm, hiding behind him intimately—an eyesore.
“Get out of the way! Move!” a male voice shouted sharply, cutting through the noise of the crowd.
The argument escalated.
“Wang Yu, stop it! She’s been bitten by a zombie—she’s beyond saving. Just throw her down. There are so many people here—we worked hard to rescue all of them.”
“I’m not throwing her away! She’s my girlfriend! I risked everything to save her. If you want to throw someone, throw your own girlfriend! One-fifth of these people were rescued by me—go toss them if you must!”
“So what if you rescued her? She’s already stopped breathing, her heart’s not beating—she’s going to turn any minute now.
She’ll become a zombie that only knows how to eat flesh and blood. Her body will rot. Her face will become disfigured—she won’t even look human anymore. What’s the point in saving her now?
You’re a powered individual—you have a bright future ahead. Tons of girls will be chasing after you. Why obsess over one zombie?”
“Shut up! You don’t understand anything! I love her! She’s the only one I want in this life. Even if she turns into a zombie, I’ll take care of her forever.
I have a spatial ability. Zombies don’t need to breathe—I can trap her in my space. I’ll find a way to turn her back into a human.
Don’t push me. None of you push me!”
“Wang Yu, let her go—she’s turning!!” someone screamed.
Suddenly, the crowd erupted in chaos, surging in the direction opposite Cui Xisheng.
