Mei Yue Bai's eyes flickered with a hidden glint before she lowered her gaze and held her close.
She was completely enveloped by his warm body.
"Boss Xixi, don't worry, I'll always be with you."
"Mhm."
Life was meant to be met with one challenge after another.
Li Lili covered her mouth, her eyes filled with an aunt-like smile. They were a perfect match.
Upon reaching the glass doors of the C District office building, several zombies in professional attire were shambling inside.
The four of them readied their weapons, about to disembark.
Xu Qian instructed, "Everyone, listen up. The number of zombies in this office building is overwhelming, and there are also zombie animals. The situation is unexpectedly dangerous. I'll lead, with Ah Bai and Cheng Liangqing at the rear. What do you all think?"
Mei Yue Bai had always been one to agree with Boss Xixi on everything.
Cheng Liangqing's brow twitched slightly, and he agreed.
{She believes in my combat prowess!}
No one objected.
"Alright, let's get out of the car. Be extremely careful."
After everyone had exited the vehicle, she waved her hand, and the RV vanished.
The glass doors were automatic but now without power, they were locked. Fortunately, there was a manual keyhole for unlocking.
Xu Qian took out a small tool, preparing to pick the lock.
The glass on the left shattered with a bang.
Glass shards flew everywhere.
Xu Qian quickly turned her head to avoid the flying debris. However, standing directly in front of the glass door, she couldn't completely evade being scratched by the fragments.
The skin beneath her eye stung slightly.
She raised her hand to touch it but was stopped by a soft hand.
Li Lili's eyes widened, and she said in alarm, "Don't touch it, you're bleeding."
A finger-length red mark appeared beneath her eye, oozing a trickle of blood.
"Tch, it's just a small cut. What's the fuss?"
Cheng Liang Ze gently blew on his gun.
Li Lili's face contorted with annoyance, and she was about to scold him.
"Bang!" A punch.
Cheng Liang Ze fell to the ground. He touched his bleeding lip, got up, and grabbed Mei Yue Bai by the collar.
"You dare hit me!"
Mei Yue Bai sneered, raising a gun and pressing it against his abdomen.
"I can even kill you."
Cheng Liang Qing's face turned ashen. He had never expected Xiao Ze to impulsively break the glass.
But this was his own brother.
"Xu Qian, I'm sorry. My brother was just being impulsive..."
Xu Qian's gaze was indifferent. "Ah Bai, let go."
Mei Yue Bai's eyes reddened. After releasing his grip, he forcefully shoved Cheng Liang Ze to the ground.
He walked to Xu Qian's front, his lips tightly pressed together.
Looking at the bloodstain on her face, he raised his slightly cool fingertips to caress her cheek, his warm fingertips rubbing against her skin.
{I really want to kill him.}
Suppressing his urge, he unstrapped the bag from his back, took out a tube of ointment and tissues, and bent down to gently apply the medication to her wound.
Xu Qian's dark eyes were fixed on his handsome face. His silver hair had grown a bit longer, with dark roots showing. The silver strands fell softly onto his forehead. He seemed much gentler now than before.
He applied the ointment to her wound with a serious expression, then affixed a bandage.
"Don't worry, it won't leave a scar."
Xu Qian's eyes flickered, and she smiled. "When we get back, I'll have Doctor Ye use his ability on it."
"Mhm, have him use plenty of it."
Cheng Liang Qing, with a dark expression, helped him up and growled in a low voice, "If you cause any more trouble, you're staying in the base and not coming out."
Cheng Liang Ze lowered his head under the scolding, but he still felt indignant. If they couldn't break it with a gun, what else could they use? https:/
Li Lili frowned, not moving to help him. This time, he had truly gone too far. Sister Qian was injured.
She had never seen Sister Qian get hurt before. Someone so powerful, so invincible in her eyes.
With a flesh-colored band-aid on her face, she looked at him with cold eyes and said, "Cheng Liang Ze, if you're not satisfied, you can leave our team. If you're not leaving, don't cause trouble for me. I am the captain, and everyone follows my orders."
If it weren't for the fact that Cheng Liang Ze was Cheng Liang Qing's brother and Lili's boyfriend, she wouldn't have been so lenient. She would have told him to get lost immediately.
Cheng Liang Ze turned his head away, remaining silent.
{Heh, just a little kid claiming to be captain.}
Xu Qian took a deep breath, holding back for a moment, but couldn't resist.
"Don't you know gunshots attract zombies? Even if you didn't, shouldn't you warn us when using a handgun? Are you a three-year-old child?"
The barrage of questions made Cheng Liang Ze's face flush red. He was unable to retort a single word.
