Chapter 35

Lu Yun's face was firmly glued to the window as he stared at the group of zombies surrounding the champagne yellow Porsche and opened it with hesitation, "Brother He, that car we just passed, do we save them or not?"

"Don't save." He Jin didn't even think about it before he refused. Two women who do not have the ability to protect themselves, they would only be a burden. He only took care of the people he was in charge of and didn't bother looking after unrelated people.

When his words fell, he suddenly groaned and turned to look at the child, for fear that the other would feel he was too cold and ruthless. He didn't want to leave a negative impression in the child's heart.

But when he looked over, the child was looking back at him with bright and clear eyes, pink lips slightly raised and smiling at him. His expression was not the least bit opposed or questioning.

He Jin's heart was relieved and he touched the child's head and smiled. It was getting more and more difficult to give up the person in front of him. His temper was pure but not weak, simple and innocent but there without unnecessary sympathy. It was like a piece of black and white crystal spliced in half. No matter which color it was, it was always so pure and clear with no smudges.

He was so old yet he had never seen a child who was more special than Gong Lixin. He could combine innocence and cruelty to form such a deadly temptation. This contradictory trait was deeply attractive to people who had merged with the darkness but was unable to separate themselves from the light and longed for it.

He was really reluctant to let go! He Jin sighed and hoped that the child would not find the Gong family.

The car did not slow down and went straight ahead. Lu Yun stared out the window, at the two women crying in the car and suddenly shouted, "Brother He, stop the car! They're members of the Sunny duet, Ling Yu and Ling Yin!"

He Jin ignored Lu Yun and kept on driving. Of course, he knew about Ling Yu and Ling Yin. They're province A entertainment industry's most popular pop idol duo and twins. Their youthful look was met with an alluring charm and their perfectly shaped figures were even more so. Lu Yun was excitable by nature and being in their vicinity was making him fantasize of becoming their sugar daddies.

It's a pity that someone else was first and that person was part of the main branch of the Song family in Kyoto. Lu Yun couldn't make a move and even after much struggle, no fruit was borne. Presumably, the person who died just now was the one who had gotten the sisters. The thought of their escape was forgotten and the degree of his obsession towards them could be seen.

Thinking of this, He Jin's thick eyebrows wrinkled, his eyes filled with disgust. He truly did not want to stop to save them.

Seeing his brother's indifferent expression, Lu Yun begged for a while, his expression turning painful as he watched them getting further and further away from the Porsche and the two sisters.

However, in a few seconds, he was happy again and yelled at He Jin at the driver's seat. "Brother He, go back. Gu Nan, Ma Jun, Wang Tao, and Da Liu (the beggar) stopped to save them! Let's go over to help!"

He Jin looked at the rear-view mirror and saw that Gu Nan parked the Ford car on the side of the road. The four men were armed with weapons and went to attack the zombie horde without hesitation.

The appeal of idols was huge and, unfortunately, Gu Nan, Ma Jun, and Wang Tao were brainless fans of Sunny. They were shocked to see that the two of them were there. They were so excited, it was as if their whole bodies were injected with chicken blood. This was just a horde of zombies and, as a group, they dared to face them. There's also Young Master Gong to blame. Watching Young Master Gong kill zombies as if cutting melons and chopping vegetables, their courage had long been fattened.

He Jin's face was dark and he cursed out loud but reluctantly backed up. The car did not stop and Lu Yun panicked and opened the door, holding the knife Wu Ming had given him for protection in the past. Wu Ming, as a loyal guard, followed after him. He Jin and Gong Lixin slowly got out of the car and leaned against the door. They watched them kill and did not go and help. This group of zombies was still very weak, their actions were quite slow and cumbersome. Six people had already gained experience in killing them. Once they cut the first one, in less than ten minutes, the zombies fell in large amounts.

The expression on the two women in the car showed hope and they cried.

"Okay, it's okay, come out now." The last zombie fell to the ground and Lu Yun stepped forward to call out to the women. Gu Nan and Ma Jun were unwilling to lag behind and they all reached out to help. Even Wang Tao helped by giving them a pack of paper towels he got from who knows where.

The two women's legs were soft and awkward but they still showed the most delicate and beautiful expressions and thanked everyone.

"Enough nonsense, let's get out of here quickly." He Jin's expression showed his extreme intolerance and his voice was cold, destroying the warm atmosphere. These children are still tender and only want to save people. They had never thought about what would happen after they had saved them. Right now, it was already difficult to protect themselves, let alone a few more idlers here were added to eat their rice? In the future, they would regret their actions.

However, He Jin didn't intend to teach them that. This lesson will only be learned after experiencing it firsthand. In the apocalypse, they will sooner or later understand the importance of having the ability to survive.

When they saw the expensive Hummer H6 and He Jin's strong body and overbearing attitude, the sisters didn't have a trace of a tear in their eyes as they looked at one another. They, of course, knew He Jin from the past. They had seen Lu Yun a few times when he was trying to gain their favor. They had heard that the person was extremely good at their job.

At that time, they didn't really care and looked down on anyone that was a bodyguard for a living. But now, it was different. In the apocalypse, strength was everything. Climb this golden thigh and with it, they will gain a shelter and live better days. The sisters' two hearts and minds thought alike and they immediately reached a consensus. They smiled sweetly, walked toward He Jin and took the initiative to climb on the Hummer H6.

Gu Nan, who wanted to invite the two people on the Ford SUV, froze. It took a long time for him to let go. The beauties loved luxury cars and even during the apocalypse, it seemed to be the case.

Lu Yun was satisfied with this arrangement and smiled in a flattering manner towards the black faces of the others as he walked to the side of the car. He loudly muttered that he was impulsive and was not a good example. The two sisters saw Young Master Lu acting humbly and he became even more determined.

Just as everyone was ready to get in their cars, Lu Yun stopped and looked at Gong Lixin. He hesitantly asked: "Young Master Gong, did you hear that? It seemed that someone was calling for help."

Gong Lixin pointed to the vegetable greenhouse not too far away. There was a faint sound coming from that direction. "On the other side, someone's been calling for help for a while." The voice belonged to a girl and a child but when he was in the underground palace, he was used to the principle of leaving matters alone and did not want to go and save two strangers.

He Jin climbed into the driver's seat and indifferently started the engine. He had also heard the sound a while ago but like Gong Lixin he did not intend to go and save them.

They were calling for help for a while and you are still indifferent? Lu Yun had two drops of cold sweat running down his forehead and looked at the direction Young Master Gong pointed. A dark-skinned girl who was hard-working in carrying a boy of about ten years old had been screaming for a while and ran out from behind the shed. She saw the three cars on the side of the road and screamed for help.

She was followed by forty or fifty zombies yet still kept pressuring them for help with her big eyes. The scene was quite spectacular.

"S-save or not to save?" Lu Yun stuttered with shaking legs.

"Don't save." He Jin coldly retorted then used a gentle tone as he looked towards Gong Lixin, "Lixin, come in quick. You must be hungry by now. We'll drive for another twenty minutes before we stop to rest."

"Hn," Gong Lixin nodded and climbed into the passenger seat.

Lu Yun asked with an astounded expression: "Are you really not going to save them? They look so pitiful!!"

"Are you not getting in? If you don't get in, we will leave without you." He Jin raised his eyebrows in question and looked at the hesitant Lu Yun, his sharp eyebrows metaphorically covered by a layer of frost. It's impossible for him to be sympathetic like Lu Yun and besides, he will end up regretting it sooner or later.

"Forget about it, Young Master Lu. There are so many zombies, it's not possible to kill them all. Don't put yourself in danger for it." Wu Ming patted Lu Yun's back and dragged him into the car. In the apocalypse, when one was powerless, one couldn't do many things. Lu Yun had to get used to it.

Seeing that the group of people on the road turned a blind eye to them and was ready to drive away, the brightness in the girl's eyes faded and her hoarse throat stopped emitting sound.

Piggybacking on his sister, the little boy with blood on his forehead gestured in the air as he said, "Sister, let me go and run by yourself!"

"Won't let go! If you die, I die!" The girl looked up and reluctantly forced back the tears in her eyes as she kept running towards the field.

The conversation between the younger brother and older sister traveled into Gong Lixin's ear. His ear tips moved and he remembered a memory from the underground palace from when he was younger. At that time, he didn't know what he had done wrong. Xiao Lin had thrown him into the Wansong Grottos to punish him. His servant girl XiaoTao had been placed in the same hole and had held him with tears in her eyes as she said the same thing.

The cruelty of the four words "we will die together" was the warmest memory from his past life. Gong Lixin's eyes held a trace of nostalgia and suddenly said: "Brother He, stop. I will go down and save them."

The car had just driven a few meters when the child spoke those words. He Jin stepped on the brakes. The Ford at their rear also followed suit with a sharp squeak.

"You want to save them?" He Jin asked again to be sure as he looked at the child after stabilizing himself.

"Yeah." Gong Lixin answered and held out his hand towards the back row at Lu Yun and quietly said: "The bone-cutting knife, lend it to me."

"Young Master Gong, please." Lu Yun bowed his head and handed him his knife with a respectful attitude. If it's Young Master Gong then forty or fifty zombies were not enough to stop him!

"Forget it, there are so many zombies. You're only asking for death! Let's go, Big Brother He!" One of the twins, the older and more exquisite Ling Yin said while both the Ling sisters didn't forget to plead with their beautiful eyes.

"Who's going to die?" He Jin suddenly turned to look at her. There was ice in his dark eyes and Ling Yin froze on the spot. Ling Yu wanted to help Ling Yin but couldn't say a word against that cold stare.

"Go. You and Brother He will go and save them." Seeing that the child was serious, He Jin touched his head and was the first to open the door to get down from the car. He ran towards the brother and sister. Gong Lixin blinked for a moment and his eyes curved up. He Jin unconditionally supported him and this made his heart feel warm.

"Damn it! When I want to save someone, Brother He doesn't lift a finger! When Young Master Gong wants to save someone, he will jump without hesitation! Brother Wu, isn't he way too biased?" Lu Yun complained as he jumped into the farmland ridge with Wu Ming, on their way to assist.

"Can you compare to Young Master Gong? Do you have the same strength as Young Master Gong?" Wu Ming asked while taking out a dagger. Lu Yun immediately shut up and had no more interest in talking.

Gu Nan and the others in the Ford car also understood the two people's intentions and jumped down to help. Six people ran to the front where He Jin and Gong Lixin collaborated to kill the zombies.

The two were back-to-back as they approached the siblings where the zombies had surrounded them. They cut down the zombies as if harvesting autumn wheat, clean and neat, just like a gorgeous dance, their movements elegant and calm.

The six people stood on the sidelines. The sword dance of the two men were too synchronized and too tight. They were complaining that they did not know where to intervene.

However, Wu Ming was a daring man. He gritted his teeth and took advantage of the gap between the two people's movements to take a step forward. Before he could take a second step, he was hit by an invisible wind, his hair nerves straining and warning him of the danger ahead which he barely dodged by a hairbreadth.

"Don't come over! Be careful with the knife!" Wu Ming stood stiffly in the same place and did not dare move but still remembered to warn the people behind him.

If this were the past, Wu Ming would have ridiculed these types of action sequences and said, "What are they doing, filming a movie? Crazy!" But there was a martial arts master in their group. No one took his warning as a joke and immediately stopped in place.

When Ma Jun stopped, he heard a muffled sound. The mud that was less than two centimeters from his toes was cut by an invisible blade and a half-moon shaped gap was created there. If he had taken even a step more, his foot would be gone right now.

Ma Jun's legs trembled while his stomach almost lost its contents. When masters made their move, sure enough, they couldn't get in between. He was drenched in cold sweat.

After killing the zombies surrounding the younger brother and older sister, He Jin and Gong Lixin attacked a few zombies slipping through the net. Wu Ming saw their action and pulled the scared siblings towards them, protecting them.

Lu Yun looked at the two men who were at ease while fighting. He smacked Wu Ming's arms and whispered: "Brother Wu, I didn't think there was such a tacit understanding between Brother He and Young Master Gong. The two move as if they are one! And Brother He seems more powerful than before."

"Right, when Brother He and Young Master partner up, they are invincible. Unfortunately…"

Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end. They had to leave sooner or later. Wu Ming didn't say the second part of his sentence but his eyes showed his deep disappointment. It was too easy and too pleasant to be around Young Master Gong that he almost forgot the heaviness of the apocalypse. He then suddenly remembered the difference between now and when he felt very uncomfortable.

Lu Yun's thoughts also followed the other's direction and his eyebrows that shot up slouched and pulled down. Looking at the two people killing zombies not too far away, his eyes became slightly red.

On top of the ridged trail, the sisters sitting in the Hummer were watching the battle through the window. Although they were further away from the action and could not see the specifics, they still saw zombies falling down one by one, enough so that their eyes and mouths were wide open. They had a new understanding of the little boy.

"That kid is so powerful!" Ling Yu said as she watched him go through the hordes of zombies.

"The kid and He Jin are really amazing. It's obvious that they have received rigorous training since childhood. Moreover, He Jin's attitude towards him is very gentle, even Young Master Lu can't compare. Big Sister, his identity certainly can't be low. In A province and during the apocalypse, who do you think could still maintain a high-ranking status?"

The sisters had been in the entertainment industry since the age of seventeen. Their intellect was absolutely not low. Ling Yin was a little bit sullen and her tone showed it.

"I seem to hear Young Master Lu call him Young Master Gong. Is he perhaps the son of Gong Yuanhang?" In today's A province, who else was worthy of having the Gong surname?

The sisters looked at each other and couldn't suppress the joy in their eyes. They were originally going to meet Gong Yuanhang with their sugar daddy. They had heard from their sugar daddy that Gong Yuanhang had already received the news about the apocalypse and greatly accumulated their strength to become a hegemony in the future. Going to Gong Yuanhang was more promising than relying on the Song family.

They just thought about how to gain He Jin's favor. Now, they didn't expect Gong Yuanhang's son to be in the same car as them. Weren't they lucky?

The two sisters looked at each other and smiled. They then looked at the handsome young boy who was standing on the ridge. Their eyes burned with greed.
