“Hmm.” Brother Long looked around and asked curiously, “Are you alone?”
“Just me.” The skinny guy wasn’t alone in his previous life. In his previous life, he and a group of brothers survived the apocalypse in a daze, collecting a lot of food.
Unfortunately, at a critical moment, those people abandoned him and ran away. If Brother Long hadn’t returned just in time, he probably would have been devoured by zombies.
When he was reborn, the skinny guy was unlucky enough to return to the time when those people had just abandoned him. Fortunately, he awakened his superpowers just as he was reborn, which allowed him to fight his way out.
“Wait, Brother Long, how come Du Weiwei is with you? Shouldn’t you have sent her to D City?” At this time, Du Weiwei should have been at the D City base for a long time, right?
Or… is Brother Long only sending Du Weiwei there now?
No, that’s not right. He recalled what Brother Long had said earlier. He said he would send Du Weiwei to the base and then return to the D City base? Suddenly, the skinny guy felt dizzy.
He was a little confused, but he couldn’t go to D City. If they went to City D, they wouldn’t be able to meet Xiao Bai!
Qin Long looked at the skinny man strangely: “How did you know?”
The skinny man choked, then said with a fawning smile: “Didn’t you say you were coming?”
He said that? When the apocalypse came, Qin Long remembered that he didn’t even have time to say goodbye to his brothers before rushing to find Du Weiwei. He was injured when he found Du Weiwei and then had a fever. In the end, he took Du Weiwei to City D…
So, when did he say that?
“Brother Long! Brother Long!” In the passenger seat, Du Weiwei screamed in terror. There was no light in her vision, only complete darkness. She heard Qin Long get out of the car, and then there was no sound.
This made Du Weiwei scream in fright. Was he really going to abandon her?
“Tsk tsk, Brother Long, she’s calling you. Go on over. I’ll go get the crystal cores.” The skinny man waved his hand, looking at Du Weiwei with obvious disdain.
What exactly happened? Brother Long’s return time was strange, and he even brought Du Weiwei back with him?
But judging from Brother Long’s appearance, he didn’t seem to have been reborn. If Brother Long had been reborn, he believed Brother Long would be just as eager as him to find him and Xiao Bai as soon as possible.
As for Du Weiwei? Brother Long had already let go of her, right?
Qin Long glanced at the skinny man, feeling that something was off, but Du Weiwei kept calling out. So he strode over, his tone cold: “If you call again, the zombies will come.”
His voice stopped abruptly, and Du Weiwei breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Qin Long’s voice. Du Weiwei naturally sensed his changed attitude towards her. But how could she care about Qin Long’s attitude towards her now? What she feared more was that Qin Long would abandon her. If he abandoned her, Du Weiwei had no idea what she could do.
The skinny man took out a crystal core, wiped it clean, and looked at it: “Orange, a third-tier crystal core. Xiao Bai would definitely like it!” With that, he threw the crystal core into his spatial storage.
His spatial storage wasn’t as powerful as in his previous life, but it was enough for him. Besides stored food, it contained crystal cores. He used the white first-tier crystal core himself and kept the second and third-tier crystal cores he found.
When he met Xiao Bai, he would give her those crystal cores; Xiao Bai will definitely be overjoyed.
The skinny man, carrying a large knife, then walked over. Brother Long was driving a white van, the roof of which was badly dented from when he’d smashed it with a zombie.
Without thinking, he opened the passenger door: “Hey, ugly woman, get out…”
Before he could finish, he stared dumbfounded at the woman sitting in the passenger seat. If she could even be called human, she was speechless. He swallowed hard.
Was this Du Weiwei? Was he kidding?
“Who are you?” Du Weiwei nervously backed away, clutching her clothes tightly, her voice trembling with tears, “Brother Long, Brother Long?”
“Tsk tsk, so disfigured, still thinks she’s a goddess?” Seeing Du Weiwei’s behavior, the skinny man understood; it was indeed Du Weiwei. Even disfigured, she was still Du Weiwei.
“Alright, Skinny, enough talk. Go sit in the back,” Qin Long said.
The skinny man awkwardly touched his nose, slammed the passenger door shut, opened the back door, and got in. “Let’s go. Which base?” he asked.
“How many bases are there in S City?” Qin Long asked curiously.
“Well, there really are two bases in S City, one in the north and one in the south. Which base does Miss Du want to go to?” the skinny man said casually.
Du Weiwei was a little nervous. She didn’t like the skinny man’s tone; it made her uncomfortable.
“Wherever Brother Long goes, I’ll go,” Du Weiwei said uneasily, her lips pressed tightly together.
The skinny man was surprised. He couldn’t help but look at Qin Long. Brother Long had actually tamed this proud young lady? No… perhaps it was because this young lady was disfigured…
He scratched his head. In his previous life, Du Weiwei was still full of vigor at this time. How could she be disfigured?
The skinny man was completely baffled. How had things changed so much since his rebirth?
“Skinny, give me directions. Which way is the base?” Qin Long asked.
The skinny man originally wanted to ask what was going on with returning to the D City base. In his previous life, Brother Long had left after sending Du Weiwei to the D City base. Had something changed this time?
However, upon hearing Du Weiwei say that she would go wherever Brother Long went, he immediately held back. He didn’t want Du Weiwei to keep clinging to Brother Long.
But something was strange. If Brother Long hadn’t been reborn, he should have been very happy to hear Du Weiwei say that. But there wasn’t a trace of happiness on Brother Long’s face? Instead, he looked somewhat heavy and uneasy?
How strange.
Based on the skinny man’s understanding of Brother Long, as long as he still loved Du Weiwei, even if she was disfigured, he wouldn’t distance himself from her.
The skinny man felt his brain wasn’t working properly. He took out a handkerchief from his spatial storage and wiped his broadsword.
However, his eyes remained fixed on the outside, occasionally telling Qin Long the direction.
After the skinny man got into the car, Du Weiwei became even more cautious. She didn’t dare to say anything carelessly; judging from the skinny man’s tone, he had a bad temper.
Du Weiwei was a little scared; she even wanted to tell Brother Long not to let this man come with them.
With the skinny man’s directions, they quickly arrived at the base in the south of the city, which was a residential area. However, at first glance, Qin Long felt that this base was far inferior to the base in D City.
“The storefronts outside the base seem to be empty. Are you sure you want to stay outside the base?” Qin Long asked.
“Yes, we won’t go inside the base; we’ll stay right next to it,” Du Weiwei said firmly.
The car stopped at a storefront next to the base entrance. Qin Long walked over and opened the door easily. The inside was very messy; all the useful things had been taken.
Qin Long opened the car door and carried in the quilts and food before walking over and opening the passenger door: “Get out.”
Du Weiwei fumbled around at the door. Seeing her difficulty, Qin Long reached out and pulled her up.
The skinny man sat inside the car without moving, then he opened the window, and whistled towards the door.
Du Weiwei clung tightly to Qin Long’s clothes, somewhat uneasy. She should be happy to be in S City, but for some reason, she felt increasingly anxious, especially after hearing that meaningful whistle.
Watching Qin Long carry Du Weiwei inside, the skinny man’s smile vanished: “Damn it, I’m really incompatible with Du Weiwei.”
Whether in his past life or this one, the skinny man disliked Du Weiwei, utterly hating her.
Even before the apocalypse in his past life, he didn’t particularly like her. Even though Du Weiwei had saved Brother Long, he still couldn’t feel any affection for her.
Qin Long placed Du Weiwei on the bed spread out on the floor: “I’ve put the water on your left, and the right side against the wall. The food is under the cotton quilt on the right; grab it if you’re hungry.”
“You’re leaving?” Du Weiwei reached out to grab Qin Long but grasped at empty air.
“You asked me to take you away from the D City base, and I’ve already taken you away. Haven’t I?” Qin Long looked at Du Weiwei expressionlessly.
No wonder, no wonder she’d been so uneasy. So his plan was to leave after dropping her off in S City?
“Brother Long, I want to be with you! I don’t want to be here alone, I don’t want to!” Du Weiwei’s tears streamed down her face.
“I was the one who sent you to D City back then. You didn’t want to stay there, and I brought you back safely. I’ve already done more than enough for you. Du Weiwei, what more do you want?”
Hearing Qin Long’s words, Du Weiwei shook her head repeatedly: “No, Brother Long, you can’t do this to me. Leaving me here alone is like leaving me to fend for myself! Don’t forget, I saved you back then, I saved your life! How could you do this to me!”
Du Weiwei’s mention of saving Qin Long years ago made him slowly close his eyes.
“You saved me once, and how many times have I saved you? If you want to settle accounts for saving lives, Du Weiwei, I think we can have a good discussion about who owes whom.”
“I don’t owe you anything anymore, don’t you know that?”
Yes, Qin Long didn’t owe her anything anymore. Helping her and agreeing to her requests was all because his heart had fallen for Du Weiwei.
“That’s not what I meant.” Du Weiwei panicked. She groped her way to her feet, trying to grab Qin Long, but he avoided her.
“Brother Long, I know it was my fault, I hurt you. But really, when you came to save me during the apocalypse, I was so excited. Actually, I had already fallen for you then.” Du Weiwei tried to grab him several times but couldn’t.
She didn’t dare move anymore; she didn’t know what was on the ground and was afraid of falling.
“The person I love is you. I was blinded by love, unaware of my own feelings, and I’ve made you suffer.” Du Weiwei’s eyes were empty yet filled with deep affection.
A fleeting disappointment crossed Qin Long’s eyes.
“Du Weiwei, I’m not stupid.”
Du Weiwei stiffened.
“You don’t like me at all, and you haven’t fallen in love with me.” Qin Long sighed. “You can ignore my feelings, but I hate being lied to.”
“Especially from you!” She said she liked him, but it was just to use him.
Qin Long would rather Du Weiwei be like before, directly asking him for help, instead of using her feelings for him as an excuse.
Turning away, the receding footsteps almost drove Du Weiwei mad.
“No, you can’t go, Qin Long! Take me away, I don’t want to be alone, I don’t want to!” Du Weiwei frantically ran forward, but something caught her, causing her to fall to the ground.
Her injuries hadn’t fully healed, and the fall made her ache all over, causing her to burst into tears.
Qin Long closed the door for Du Weiwei and stood there for a long time: “This is your own choice.”
Once Qin Long became ruthless, he showed no mercy whatsoever.
Even though he knew Du Weiwei’s choice to live outside the base was pure suicide, he still did as she asked and settled her outside.
Qin Long actually came out, which surprised the skinny guy. He had prepared for Qin Long to have a change of heart and take Du Weiwei with him. But if that were the case, the skinny guy planned to go find Xiao Bai alone.
