Zuo Chen woke up and started regretting his plan. He couldn’t have imagined that he would be poisoned and that he might never wake up.
He was planning on pretending to be injured to find a chance ad get close to the Chief lady. But now, he really needed treatment, and she had stopped coming to the medical department.
Besides, he was paralyzed. How was he supposed to get close to her?
He didn’t know when his body would recover from the toxic reaction. Thinking about that, a hatred toward Lin Qiao suddenly rose from his heart.
He wouldn’t have taken the mission and left the base if he wasn’t trying to get close to the Chief lady. If he didn’t need to pretend to be injured and get himself into the hospital, he wouldn’t have been stung by those poisonous bees! It was all because of that woman! If it weren’t for her, he wouldn’t end up in his current state.
Zuo Chen didn’t consider running into those poisonous bees his own fault at all. He blamed Lin Qiao for it.
If Lin Qiao knew what he was thinking, she might throw him straight into the hive!
“Are you kidding me? I’m here, and she’s not even in the base? Did I get poisoned for nothing?” Zuo Chen lay on the bed, his face pale and sullen. His lips were bluish, as the toxin hadn’t been removed from his body yet. His handsome face now looked like the face of a ghost because of the vicious and sick look on it.
“What could you possibly do even if she was here? You can’t walk. You can’t even move now. You wouldn’t be able to touch her even if she passed by your door,” Liu Wan gave him a sneer.
Apparently, he wasn’t happy about Zuo Chen’s attitude. He couldn’t help but despise the latter for failing such a small task. He was supposed to pretend to suffer a small injury, which could easily happen to any zombie hunter. Yet, he came back severely poisoned.
Hearing what Liu Wan said, Zuo Chen’s face turned even darker.
Before they could say anything else, one of their subordinates knocked on the door and came in, “It’s time for the injection.”
Both Zuo Chen and Liu Wan shut their mouths and watched a nurse enter with the medicine.
Earlier on, a batch of women joined the base, and some of them now worked in the hospital as nurses.
Outside the base, after a short while of driving on the highway, Lin Qiao sensed that Wu Chengyue’s vibe was getting closer and closer. Before he caught up with her, she got off the car and put the car back into her space.
Following a rumbling thunder, Wu Chengyue descended from the sky, the thunder following right behind him.
Lin Qiao didn’t understand why Wu Chengyue was still chasing her so determinedly, as he had lost his mind. She sensed no intention of killing from him, so why did he want to catch her?
What did he want?
Not even Wu Chengyue himself could answer that question.
Suddenly, Lin Qiao had an idea. Since Wu Chengyue didn’t want to hurt her, maybe she should let herself be caught by him and see what exactly he wanted. That might provide her with a chance to approach him. She might be able to knock him out directly.
With that thought, Lin Qiao hesitated shortly, then lightning bolts fell around her. In the meanwhile, a hand gripped her arm and the other hand swiftly clasped her slim neck.
The energy that was radiating from Wu Chengyue’s body was eased a little at the moment he touched Lin Qiao. Soon, the lightning bolts that were falling from the sky faded gradually.
The surrounding plants and guardrails had all been shattered. All the mutated animals and plants in the area were scared away by Wu Chengyue’s vibe.
Lin Qiao sighed with relief, because she found that Wu Chengyue’s vibe had calmed a little after he caught her. However, she was not happy to let him grip her throat.
She looked at him in the eyes. His eyes were still cold, showing no emotions. His face wore no expression either. The redness in his eyes had been shrinking and expanding from time to time, his energy oscillating along with it.
Lin Qiao stayed still, waiting to see what Wu Chengyue wanted to do with her. He had lost his mind, and she was curious about what he would do.
At that moment, Wu Chengyue abruptly lowered his head and reached his nose toward her. Then, he sniffed her from her cheek to her ear, and to her neck and shoulder.
As Wu Chengyue acted like a zombie, Lin Qiao was confused. Did she have a special smell? She thought she only had the zombie smell.
Wu Chengyue still wore no expression, yet he seemed to be enjoying sniffing her. Lin Qiao’s head was full of puzzles.
Whatever smell she had, the first thing she needed to do was to find a chance to give him a sneak attack.
She slowly raised her left hand, prepared to give him a strike on the neck. However, once she raised that hand, Wu Chengyue raised his head from her neck and looked at her expressionlessly.
Lin Qiao froze.
With surprise, she found his eyes pretty when he wasn’t smiling. It might be because they were very close to each other at the moment. She saw his slender eyes, his dark pupils surrounded by a light redness as if he was wearing cosmetic contacts, looking weirdly beautiful. He had thick and long eyelashes which were perfectly curly.
Normally, he was almost smiling. His smile and his strong vibe disabled other people from noticing how good-looking his eyes were.
As Lin Qiao was distracted by Wu Chengyue’s eyes, he relaxed his grip on her neck, then grasped her left hand.
Only after that did Lin Qiao remember what she had attempted to do earlier. She got slightly nervous and thought that Wu Chengyue had discovered her intention.
Wu Chengyue stood still, holding her hand and also took his other hand off Lin Qiao’s shoulder to hold her other hand. Then, he stopped moving and stood there with her hands held in his.
Lin Qiao looked around and tried to move her hands. Wu Chengyue didn’t seem to want to hurt her, but was holding her hands tightly.
Obviously, Wu Chengyue was making no further moves, so Lin Qiao felt a little helpless. Should she stand there with that man and do nothing? Why on earth did he chase her so persistently?
She raised her head to look at the sky. The rain was still falling, and both of them were soaked already. She wouldn’t catch a cold, but she wondered if he would.
Probably not. His energy had exploded crazily, yet was still instinctively protecting him.
The dark clouds in the sky were still dense, and the thunder seemed to be fading. However, muffled rumbles could still be heard in the sky from time to time.
After looking at the sky, Lin Qiao dropped her head to look at Wu Chengyue, then thought for a moment and raised her head again to look into the sky, and then back at Wu Chengyue.
The thunderclouds in the sky seemed to be showing the man’s emotion. Earlier on when he was chasing her, the thunder was deafening. But now as he had caught her, it quieted down.
