Chapter 270 - Imprisoned Again

Chapter 270 Imprisoned Again

“You are insane.”

Tang Xia was so scared that she could not speak. She could only mumble and repeat these three words. She stared at Chu Tiankuo as if looking at a monster.

Hearing Tang Xia’s voice, the smile on Chu Tiankuo’s face became weird and crazy. “Yes, I am insane. I have been insane since the moment I fell in love with you.”

The flashing light in his eyes was too hot. Tang Xia did not dare to look at him and turned her head to avoid his eyes.

“Why, are you afraid of me?” A cold voice sounded from above her head. Chu Tiankuo stiffly lifted Tang Xia’s head, and there was inexplicable loneliness in his expression.

Tang Xia shrank in the corner. Her voice was trembling as she said, “Please let me go.”

This Chu Tiankuo made her feel strange and scared. Every minute and every second around him made Tang Xia want to escape.

“If I let you go, who will let me go?” Chu Tiankuo’s face grew more and more gloomy, with a sense of love and despair. As the voice fell, he suddenly caught Tang Xia’s hand.

His hands were so cold that Tang Xia tried to break away. “What are you doing?” Her voice was panicked. It seemed as if Chu Tiankuo were a monster.

Chu Tiankuo’s expression faded, but he stubbornly pulled Tang Xia’s hand toward him and placed it on his chest.

Tang Xia didn’t understand what he intended to do. She tried her best to withdraw her hand, but accidentally touched Chu Tiankuo’s skin. She couldn’t help being stunned.

There was almost no flesh there, as underneath his thin skin was bones, which startled Tang Xia. She paused unconsciously and looked up at Chu Tiankuo.

Only then did she find that he was haggard.

His jaw was sharper. His unruly eyebrows were tinged with exhaustion. He looked at Tang Xia with lost and melancholy eyes. At that time, he seemed to be an unfulfilled child. His voice was dumb and dry. “It’s all because of you.”

Tang Xia came back to her senses. When Chu Tiankuo didn’t restrain her anymore, she drew back her hand and lowered her head. For a moment, she didn’t know what to say.

“You don’t have to look like this.”

For a long while, Tang Xia whispered and her heart was aggrieved.

“You know I don’t want your sympathy!” Chu Tiankuo’s face was covered with frost, and his tone of voice was aggravated.

Tang Xia didn’t dare to look up at him. Her teeth sank into her lower lip and she did not say a word.

“Are you still thinking about Ye Yifan?” Chu Tiankuo thought of something. His voice was so cold that the air around him seemed to freeze.

Tang Xia shook her head. How could she make Chu Tiankuo understand? It was neither because of Ye Yifan nor because of anyone else. They were people of different worlds.Access v ip novel

“I don’t understand. What’s so good about a man who thinks in one way and behaves another?” Chu Tiankuo didn’t believe it. A sneer appeared at the corner of his lips with a sense of self-deprecation.

“Even if you don’t like Ye Yifan, you don’t need to discredit him.” Upon hearing that, Tang Xia couldn’t help interrupting him. “He’s a great person.”

Ye Yifan was the idol whom she had worshiped for so many years. Worried that Chu Tiankuo would be stimulated again, Tang Xia held back and said nothing.

But Chu Tiankuo’s face sank as he said, “Don’t you believe me?” He stared at Tang Xia with sharp eyes. It seemed as if he were going to dig a hole in her body.

Tang Xia did not answer and expressed her attitude with silence.

Seeing this, the smile on Chu Tiankuo’s lips became meaningful. “Do you know why Lu Huanyu turned into a zombie?”

“Didn’t you do it?” Tang Xia wanted to retort. But looking at Chu Tiankuo’s calm look, she knew that even if she did say it, he would deny it. So she closed her mouth to hear what he would say next.

“Because of Ye Yifan.” Sure enough, Chu Tiankuo did not wait for Tang Xia to answer and soon spit out the answer.

“Bullshit! You did it, and you admitted it yourself!” upon hearing this, Tang Xia said angrily. She finally couldn’t stand him stigmatizing Ye Yifan again and again.

Chu Tiankuo glanced at Tang Xia indifferently. “That was because you insisted that it was me, so I admitted it. Besides, Ye Yifan and Lu Huanyu came together. Lu Huanyu became a zombie, but Ye Yifan went back. Don’t you wonder why?”

After hearing the second half of the sentence, Tang Xia’s momentum could not help weakening. What Chu Tiankuo also said was what she was doubting. Her low voice seemed a little lackluster as she replied, “Maybe… maybe…”

She bit her lip and tried to excuse Ye Yifan, but she couldn’t think of a good explanation at the moment.

Chu Tiankuo looked at Tang Xia with a sneer. His eagle-like eyes were so sharp that he saw through Tang Xia’s heart. “Do you dare to say that Ye Yifan must be innocent and he did nothing?”

Tang Xia was speechless, and she was surprised to find that Chu Tiankuo was not unreasonable, but her emotions prevented her from admitting that Chu Tiankuo was right.

“That must be because of what you did, so they tied to kill each other!” Tang Xia paused, yelling at him.

Chu Tiankuo didn’t expect that at this point Tang Xia would still be speaking up for Ye Yifan, and his knitted brows, showing his inner anger. “You are hopeless!”

After speaking, Chu Tiankuo never looked at Tang Xia again. He turned and left.

The door was closed heavily. The room was quiet again. Tang Xia went forward to open the door. It was locked by Chu Tiankuo again.

In the next few days, Tang Xia was imprisoned in the room. She wanted to escape, but Chu Tiankuo never forgot to lock the door. The window in the room was welded shut. She couldn’t escape.

Tang Xia was groping in front of the door and heard the door open. She knew that Chu Tiankuo had returned. She went back to the seat and pretended to be calm.

“Give up. I’m not like my stupid brother.” Chu Tiankuo could guess what Tang Xia was doing just now. His smile was cold and mocking.

Tang Xia rubbed the corner of her clothes with a look of annoyance. Chu Tiankuo placed a meal in front of her, saying without emotion, “Eat it.”

For the past few days, Chu Tiankuo had delivered food to Tang Xia personally. It was troublesome, but it had also prevented Tang Xia from contacting others.Access v ip novel

Tang Xia was not arrogant. She opened the box and began to eat. Because of the lack of world supplies, food could only satisfy the requirements of being full, being delicious was out of the question.

However, Tang Xia was eating very happily. She knew that only after filling her stomach could she produce enough energy and be ready for any change at any time.

“You are not a picky eater.” Chu Tiankuo looked at Tang Xia playfully, and the rising voice was a bit cynical.

Tang Xia drank some water and continued to eat without speaking. Arguing with Chu Tiankuo was a waste of words for her. It would be better to save some energy.

Seeing that she was not talking, Chu Tiankuo was not angry. He took out a tablet. After taking out something, he put it on Tang Xia’s table. “Here you are.”

After saying this, he went to the other side and sat down. Tang Xia subconsciously felt that Chu Tiankuo did not have good intentions. She didn’t want to look up. Hearing some gurgling sounds from the tablet, she finally couldn’t help looking up.

The surveillance footage was from somewhere in the fortress. Several controlled zombies were struggling in disguise, and some survivors on the sidelines stared at the zombies with complicated looks, as if they couldn’t bear it.

Later, there were a few gunshots. The zombies were disposed of by headshots without exception. The flesh-scarred corpses and the stumps were scattered all over the place. Splashes of mixed juice doused the lens, right in front of Tang Xia.

Tang Xia felt disgusted. She didn’t have an appetite anymore when looking at the food in front of her.

“What? Can’t you eat?” Chu Tiankuo looked at the scene. He smirked and took back the tablet with a sarcastic expression on his face.

Tang Xia suppressed the feeling of nausea and looked at Chu Tiankuo complicatedly. “You are a pervert.”

“You can’t stand it?” Chu Tiankuo didn’t care about Tang Xia’s cursing at all, and the smile at the corner of his mouth was deep. “This kind of thing happens every day in the fortress.”

Tang Xia thought that this was a video of the last zombie change. When hearing this, the zombie in the picture seemed to look different from the last time. She could not help changing the look on her face. “What did you say?”

If these zombies were not the last group, then that meant…

“This kind of thing happens every day in the fortress.” Chu Tiankuo repeated it with patience and explained to Tang Xia, “In the fortress, people become zombies every day, and the survivors are very scared.”

Tang Xia’s back chilled. Chu Tiankuo chuckled. “Do you know how blessed you are?”

“Blessed?” Tang Xia shuddered. Chu Tiankuo seemed absent-minded as he said a sentence to Tang Xia, “Treasure the following time.” Then he left.

Tang Xia’s head was full of the surveillance images that she had seen. She was still sitting there for a long time after Chu Tiankuo left, and her face was pale.

The situation was getting worse. According to Chu Tiankuo, if people in the fortress became zombies every day, sooner or later, Ye Yifan or Jiang Yu would appear among those killed zombies.

Tang Xia secretly tightened her fists. She couldn’t leave it alone.

As her eyes fell on the safe in the corner, Tang Xia’s pupils tightened. It was the serum that Chu Tiankuo showed to her last time. The serum that could cure the zombie virus was there.

She walked over to the safe, and Chu Tiankuo had set a password. After thinking for a moment, Tang Xia tentatively typed her birthday. She heard a slight sound and the door opened.

The serums were in it as before. Tang Xia took out three serums and folded them. Looking at the orange-red injections, her eyes became deep.
