Holding On to My Man

After Gu Bai jumped off the roof and disappeared into the zombie pit, Shen Muze and the rest of the survivors stayed on top of the roof of the small shop and waited for Xiao Li and the Shen family to come rescue them.

In the face of the corpses still surrounding them from below, everyone was lying on the middle of the roof as much as possible with pale expressions on their faces, as they were afraid they would accidentally fall down and become food for the zombies.

The two bodyguards were also more careful while protecting Shen Muze. Young Master Su had already died, so if Young Master Shen also happened to die as well, then they really wouldn't need to go back anymore.

While Shen Muze sat on top of the roof in a daze, images of his past life continuously flashed in his mind as he sobbed uncontrollably.

He really hadn't expected Su Yu to come save him. Su Yu hated him as much as he hated Su Yu in this lifetime.

Su Yu hated that he had robbed everything that was supposed to be his, and he hated that Su Yu had taken everything from him.

From the first day Su Yu entered the Shen's family in his previous life, he knew that they couldn't get along peacefully. Proof of that could be seen in how after Su Yu arrived, his happy life began to change dramatically.

They were constantly butting heads, but he always couldn't win against Su Yu. Su Yu was just too good at acting. As long as he pretended to be obedient and weak, his father and Wu Ge would help him.

Shen Muze hated and resented him so much that he just didn't understand why everyone believed in Su Yu and turned against him. It wasn't until the apocalypse when he had gained a special ability, a spatial ability that everyone was eager for. He could help his father and Wu Ge, but Su Yu was just an ordinary person.

However, after the world ended, even though Su Yu was an ordinary person without any value, everyone still liked him. Even the subordinates of his father and Wu Ge liked Young Master Su more than him…

So in a fit of anger, he had run away from home. He had just wanted to make his father and Wu Ge angry, so that their gazes would once again return to him.

However, who knew that it was so unsafe outside? As soon as he left the base, he encountered a group of villains who were dedicated to robbing survivors that traveled alone, thus he lost his life.

But what was even more unexpected was that at this critical moment, Su Yu had actually rescued him…

Shen Muze's heart was filled with complicated emotions, and his guilt was constantly pouring out. If he hadn't followed his evil thoughts today, maybe all of this wouldn't have happened.

Besides, after the apocalypse, those who knew Su Yu's identity were all dead. As long as he didn't say anything, how could his father know about Su Yu's history?

In this life, Su Yu didn't like his Wu Ge. He wouldn't compete against him again, so why was he so obsessed with harming Su Yu?!

What Su Yu had said back then was right. Everything he had, in fact, was really Su Yu's. This happy life was something he had stolen…

Half an hour later, in the middle of Shen Muze's endless guilt and self-blame, Xiao Li, who had received the call from Gu Bai and rushed over to help, finally arrived, bringing along Wu Donghan.

The huge roar of the helicopter attracted not only the attention of the zombies, but also the attention of the survivors on the roof.

"Look, it's a helicopter! Someone has come to save us!"

Some survivors cried out in surprise. God knows that these short 30 minutes seemed more like a hundred years.

The two bodyguards looked happy and waved towards the helicopter.

People on the helicopter saw the movement, flew the aircraft over the roof, and quickly threw down a rope ladder. People rushed to climb the ladder, all wanting to climb up first.

At the time of such life-threatening danger, the worst of human nature would be revealed. In order to climb up first, some people moved their hands and pushed others. During the fight, two people fell off the roof and were eaten by the zombies guarding below. The screams were horrifying.

"Everyone, listen, let my Young Master come up first, otherwise, don't even think about surviving!"

It wasn't until the people on the helicopter fired a shot did the survivors stop. The two bodyguards went to guard Shen Muze, who was in a state of panic as he went up.

"Where's Su Yu?!"

As soon as they got onto the helicopter, Wu Donghan and Xiao Li, who had been waiting anxiously, looked over. When they saw only Shen Muze and the two bodyguards, but no Gu Bai, Xiao Li's eyes turned red all of a sudden, and there was a strong, panic-like tsunami that was about to devour him.

"Yes, where's my sister-in-law?"

Ah Hu, who followed behind him, also asked about Gu Bai. Whether it was the fact that Gu Bai had saved his life or the extraordinariness that Gu Bai revealed in the past few months, he had been convinced by Gu Bai's abilities and acknowledged Gu Bai's position to be beside Xiao Li.

At that current moment, only Shen Muze and his bodyguards came up. It was obvious that his sister-in-law had an accident!

"Young Master Su—Young Master Su was bitten by a zombie…"

Shen Muze was unable to speak, and his tears began to fall again. The two bodyguards let out a breath as they met Xiao Li's red eyes. They braced themselves and told the truth.

"What?!"

Ah Hu exclaimed.

Xiao Li's eyes sharpened as he suddenly looked at the two bodyguards. There was a fire in his eyes that could burn people to ashes, which made the two bodyguards tremble in fear.

"Mr. Xiao, I'm sorry, we—we tried our best, but there were too many zombies in the amusement park, so we couldn't…"

"Then why is he alright? So only our sister-in-law had something bad happen to him? Do the bodyguards of the Shen family not care about our sister-in-law's life?!"

Ah Hu shouted angrily. They weren't idiots. They had followed Xiao Li through all kinds of things, so what haven't they seen before?

Besides, they all knew Gu Bai's abilities. Shen Muze, this weak Young Master, could somehow survive longer than Gu Bai. There was no logical reason that their mysterious sister-in-law would die first. There must have been something else going on.

"Mr. Xiao, I'm sorry. It was all me. It was all because of me that Su Yu was bitten by a zombie while saving me. I'm sorry, wuwu…"

Shen Muze finally could no longer bear the guilt, blaming himself in his heart. He cried out as he spoke of what had happened.

As soon as this remark came out, silence suddenly descended on the helicopter. Most of the people in the helicopter were Xiao Li's subordinates. Naturally, they also knew how important the youth named "Su Yu" was in their Boss' heart.

Now that teenager had turned into a zombie, so the situation they were in now could be worse than death… Everyone held their breath as they looked at Xiao Li, whose blue veins suddenly burst with anger. He was silent as he held onto his gun tightly. His subordinates waited for him to send out orders.

Wu Donghan's complexion also changed, and his thoughts darkened as he knew this wasn't good.

He was very aware of Xiao Li's temperament. Xiao Li was normally an expressionless person whose thoughts were unreadable, but everyone who understood Xiao Li knew how cold-blooded he really was.

He realised that Xiao Li suddenly looked at Shen Muze, who had sat beside him, and saw the cold light in his eyes. His heart sank rapidly, and he quickly spoke.

"Xiao Ge, don't worry. Even if Su Yu was bitten, it takes hours to turn into a zombie. It's only been half an hour since you received his call. Maybe he can still be saved…"

He didn't dare to say that there was a chance that the zombies had simply eaten Su Yu when he had been bitten. If he had said that, he could guarantee that Xiao Li would lose his mind instantly.

"Right, right, right, Boss, sister-in-law saved me last time. He must be okay! Boss, let's go find sister-in-law right now."

Hearing this, Ah Hu thought of Gu Bai's ability, and his eyes brightened up as he quickly spoke.

"But the amusement park is basically a sea of zombies…"

One of the subordinates looked at the crowd of densely packed zombies beneath the helicopter and shrank back. No one would be unafraid of death, especially if the cause of death was being eaten alive by zombies.

Even though they were all iron-willed men who had stormed through gunfire and torrents of bullets before the world ended, in the face of the apocalypse, their tough psychological qualities were greatly challenged.

"Tie up the Shen family! Others, follow me to find him!"

Xiao Li's eyes had become red like blood. He glared at Shen Muze, and his expression was extremely distorted for a long time before it turned cold.

"Xiao Li, what are you trying to do…?" Wu Donghan was shocked.

"You'd better pray Su Yu is okay, otherwise… don't even think that any of you will return alive!"

Xiao Li didn't explain anymore. He stared at Shen Muze with bloody red eyes as he spoke this one sentence, and then he immediately called his remaining subordinates to come over.

At this moment, the amusement park had already become a paradise for zombies. It was impossible to see any living humans in the park. There were so many zombies everywhere. They couldn't jump off the helicopter to search, so Xiao Li could only have them fly all over the park to search.

But this wasn't a good plan. There were so many zombies below that it wasn't easy to find Gu Bai. Especially if Gu Bai hadn't yet been zombified, he would definitely find a place to hide, which would make the search even more difficult.

Most importantly, after tomorrow morning's sunrise, the end of the world would erupt in full swing. At that time, communication tools would no longer be available, and the helicopter wouldn't be able to fly anymore due to the magnetic field's influence. They only had one night to find Su Yu!

"Boss, I don't think we're going to get anywhere with this search without a more specific direction…"

Some subordinates already wanted to give up. This way of searching was completely useless. Furthermore, even if Su Yu was found, what about it? The teenager had been bitten and couldn't be saved. Was it possible that the Boss wanted to take back a zombie to raise?

But the latter part, the subordinates didn't dare to say aloud. With their Boss' temper, if they said it, they would only be courting death.

Xiao Li naturally understood this logic, but as long as there remained glimmer of hope, he wasn't willing to give up. He knew more about Gu Bai's ability than Ah Hu, and he absolutely didn't want to believe that the youth would die like this.

"Keep looking!"

Xiao Li stared at the densely packed zombies that were making noises from beneath the helicopter and continued to command his subordinates. Even if Su Yu was dead, he wanted to see the corpse, but when he thought of this, his heart tightened and felt like it even almost stopped beating.

When they saw his complexion turning ugly, they had no choice but to continue the search.

Time passed by, and they all watched the sky getting darker. When everyone was worried, a subordinate suddenly exclaimed.

"Boss, I found him! He's right there!"

Hearing the exclamation, Xiao Li suddenly looked over.

Among the mass of zombies, there was a small, thin boy in a simple white t-shirt and jeans, with a delicate appearance.

The young man's face was still intact, so his subordinates could recognise it with a single glance. But it could be determined from the teenager's slow moving posture and the blood-clotted wound on his neck that he had become a zombie!

The complexions of everyone on the helicopter had changed, especially Wu Donghan's. He protected Shen Muze behind him while his forehead began to sweat.

Xiao Li's men's complexions had also changed. As they stared at the man covered with blue tendons, they whispered, "Boss, Young Master has already become a zombie. Let's—let's go back…"

"Boss…"

Ah Hu also rubbed the corner of his eye and had given up. Gu Bai had become a zombie now. They couldn't take a zombie back with them.

Xiao Li didn't speak, but instead looked down at Gu Bai, who had become a zombie. As he held onto the door of the helicopter with his fingers, his knuckles turned white. There was a sense of terror that he could lose his rationality at any time.

"You cover me while I go down!" Was the chilling remark that came out of his mouth after a while.

"Boss, you can't possibly be thinking of…"

Everyone looked up at Xiao Li in horror. What—what's the meaning of this? Does the Boss really want to take a zombie back to raise?

The men behind him hadn't even spoken yet before Xiao Li's next action confirmed everything. He grabbed the rope ladder and jumped out of the helicopter, rushing into the zombie pit without any hesitation.

He couldn't stand the panic of losing the youth. Even if the other side had become an unconscious zombie, he still wanted the person to be by his side!

"Boss!"

Ah Hu exclaimed and hurriedly picked up his gun to help protect his Boss. There was only one thought running through his mind: Crazy, crazy, the boss has become crazy!

Other subordinates also quickly took out their guns and started shooting, lending a helping hand. The zombie groups weren't too dense for the time being, which gave Xiao Li enough space to land on the ground.

However, it was only temporary. The smell and movement of a living person were huge attractions to the zombies. As soon as Xiao Li landed, the zombies around him started to stir up and frantically surround him.

Even with the support of his subordinates on the helicopter, even if his own power wasn't low, at this current moment, as an ordinary person, rushing into the zombie pit was instant-death, and countless zombies surrounded him instantly.

"Roar—!"

When Xiao Li was just about to be surrounded by zombies, a sharp, long hiss suddenly sounded, which made everyone's ears ache, and all the zombies stopped what they were doing and stood quietly.

Everyone followed the origin of the noise and looked over, only to see the zombified Gu Bai, who just a moment earlier had a dull, lifeless expression on his face. At this moment, his small, pale face had an unexpectedly human-like expression of delight on it.

Besides the brief expression of surprise, he suddenly ran towards Xiao Li among the zombie group.

Afterwards, a certain zombie pounced on the man who was unable to respond in time, and like a kitten, he rubbed twice on the man's warm and strong chest.

Furthermore, a high-pitched noise came out of the zombie's mouth, "Ao wu~~". The sound of the zombie's howl was full of incomparable yearning.

Xiao Li's face revealed a gentle smile.

Everyone on the helicopter looked on in horror.

The surrounding zombies also let out a human-like roar:

Hey, hey, hey, this comrade, aren't you on the wrong side? We're man-eating zombies! We eat people! What's with you resting on this human's chest, acting like a docile and lazy kitten that's infatuated with its owner? What are you trying to pull here, ah?!
