Chapter 271 Begin Sooner
Tang Xia didn’t know what the other pile of orange-red injection was. She thought for a while and finally decided to keep one first. If she had an opportunity later, she would study what it was.
Chu Tiankuo was no longer the person he used to be. He was a bit disheartened. Maybe this orange-red injection was the key to everything.
Tang Xia looked around. After confirming that there was no one beside her, she closed the safe.
She didn’t expect the password to be her birthday. Tang Xia looked down at the orange-red injection in her hand. She couldn’t help feeling a little complicated. When she was thinking about it, she heard a click. It was the sound of opening the door with a key. Tang Xia was shocked but still put the injection into her pocket calmly.
Perhaps she believed that even if Chu Tiankuo found out, he would not be harsh to her.
Chu Tiankuo closed the door and turned to look at Tang Xia, who was pretending to be calm. Tang Xia thought that he would reprimand her coldly, not expecting that he would smile.
Tang Xia wondered what had happened to make him feel so good.
Chu Tiankuo came in slowly, the sound of shoes stepping on the floor seeming extremely crisp in this quiet room, step by step as if stepping on her heart.
“Guess how many survivors there are.” Tang Xia was stunned. She didn’t want to talk about this topic. But Chu Tiankuo raised it.
In particular, he now had a mysterious expression on his face, as if he was Satan in hell, inexplicably frightening and scary.
Chu Tiankuo got closer and closer to her. Tang Xia couldn’t help stepping back, but behind her was the wall. She had no way back. Chu Tiankuo didn’t intend to stop until he almost stuck to Tang Xia’s body.
Tang Xia could feel the heat he exhaled hitting her cheek. She reached out to stop him and rushed to resist him at his chest. “I don’t want to know, nor do I want to guess.”
It wasn’t because she didn’t want to, but because she didn’t dare to. The current Chu Tiankuo was not the Chu Tiankuo from before.
Seeing her vigilant look, Chu Tiankuo could not help frowning. He reached out to pinch her chin, forcing her to face him.
“Why not? Isn’t this something you’ve been caring about? Is there anything to be scared of now?” Yes, he saw the fear in her eyes.
He hated the look on her face. He hated that she looked at him with this look. Tang Xia looked at him with a mocking expression.
“Scared? Am I afraid of you? Mr. Chu Tiankuo has always been friendly to me, and the things he has done are always for my benefit.” Chu Tiankuo’s hand holding her chin could not help exerting some effort, which made Tang Xia frown.
He leaned forward close to her ears, and the exhaled heat hit her neck.
Tang Xia shrank her neck a bit, and only heard a sneer beside her ears. “You know, everything I do is for your good.”
As if knowing what Tang Xia’s next move would be, he quickly got up and released the hand that squeezed her chin. She originally intended to hit him and stopped in the air a bit awkwardly.
“I don’t think you’re here to keep us guessing!” Withdrawing her hand, Tang Xia subconsciously touched her pocket to ensure that Chu Tiankuo had not just taken it.Access v ip novel
After all, he was so close to her. She felt stunned for a while especially at the words he said. She had to admit that she was shocked.
Chu Tiankuo sat on the sofa aside and crossed his legs. He poured a glass of water for himself and took a sip gently. “Still the question, do you want to guess?”
Tang Xia frowned somewhat impatiently. When she was about to say that she didn’t want to guess, she heard Chu Tiankuo speak.
“Since you don’t want to guess, let me tell you.” He put the cup on the table and looked at her with a cold smile.
“Less than a hundred people.” Tang Xia’s brain shook, and she took two steps in disbelief. Her ears were filled with a tinnitus hum, and she fretfully covered her ears.
Immediately, she rushed to kneel on the sofa and lifted Chu Tiankuo’s collar, but Chu Tiankuo didn’t lose his temper and looked at her so indifferently.
It was as if he had expected this reaction long ago. Tang Xia asked nervously, “What about Jiang Yu? She hasn’t become a zombie, has she?”
Although Tang Xia was a little angry, she still had her senses. After all, she didn’t dare to mention Ye Yifan’s name.
Chu Tiankuo raised an eyebrow, as if he knew what she didn’t say after saying Jiang Yu’s name. There was also a little surprise in his mind that she didn’t ask about another person, but was quite satisfied with her performance.
He smiled slightly, holding her hand that was grabbing his collar. “Relax. She is all right. And Ye Yifan is all right.”
Tang Xia was stunned and could not help feeling a little guilty. She escaped his eyes, and slowly realized that they were confronting each other in this strange posture, and quickly wanted to be free from it.
When she was about to stand up, Chu Tiankuo wrapped his arms around her waist. Tang Xia was scared because of the serum that was in her clothes pocket.
She tried to get free of his clutches, but Chu Tiankuo was like a shackle and she couldn’t get away from him.
While Tang Xia was anxious, Chu Tiankuo exerted more force. Tang Xia did not support herself and lay down directly on his chest. The two were very close to each other, almost touching the tips of their noses. Tang Xia was stunned.
“You can relax, my friend, I will finally start.” He gently stretched out the other hand and touched her hair, and put the messy hair on her forehead behind her ear.
However, Tang Xia only felt terrified and looked at him with wide eyes and a look of horror.
Now Chu Tiankuo gave her a sense of fear and an overwhelming desire to escape. She directly supported her body and broke away from his embrace, and quickly backed away a few steps.
“Then I should thank you for that?” Tang Xia smiled reluctantly, and all the fears on her face were gathered. Her left hand tried to hold her right hand to restrain them from trembling.Updates by vi p novel
Chu Tiankuo didn’t seem to see her fear. He looked relaxed. He straightened her clothes and took a sip of water.
“If you have to thank me, you can make a promise and stay away from Ye Yifan.” Tang Xia thought that he was joking. When she looked up, she saw Chu Tiankuo looking seriously at her, and it wasn’t like a joke.
She dodged her eyes away a bit unnaturally, and smiled awkwardly. “I didn’t mention him. This time you mentioned him yourself.”
She looked at him with a look of ridicule. Chu Tiankuo raised an eyebrow and seemed to be indifferent to her words. The two were very quiet for a while.
Tang Xia couldn’t help touching the serum in her pocket. Fortunately, that thing was still there. It seemed that her heart was settled all at once. Chu Tiankuo was silent beside her, and she wondered what he was thinking about.
Looking at Chu Tiankuo’s serious face, Tang Xia’s thoughts poured out like spring water. When did Chu Tiankuo become what he was now?
From the beginning when they met for the first time, they could not explain the ambiguousness. But now knowing that he was sitting in front of her, she was disgusted with him.
Tang Xia shook her head to get rid of all these thoughts in her mind. As she was thinking, Chu Tiankuo suddenly looked at her. “Come and sit next to me. Why are you sitting so far away from me?” He pointed to the open space next to him.
But now she didn’t want to sit there. She couldn’t refuse him now. She walked slowly over and sat next to him. Although she hated him now, she had to be patient in order to carry out her plan.
When Chu Tiankuo was approaching, there was a knock at the door. Tang Xia was relieved and turned to look at Chu Tiankuo aside.
He frowned with anger, feeling unhappy by being interrupted.
“Come in!” Chu Tiankuo sat upright, picked up the water and took a sip.
The door was pushed open slightly, maybe the person was a little scared to hear Chu Tiankuo’s dissatisfaction. Tang Xia looked up at the door and saw that it was exactly Axon who came in. Tang Xia couldn’t help feeling joyful. After all, he was also an acquaintance.
Axon closed the door nervously. Looking at Chu Tiankuo, he didn’t dare to say anything. Chu Tiankuo couldn’t stand him acting shy and embarrassed like this. “If you have any words, say it straight.”
Axon looked up at Chu Tiankuo and said in a panic, “There has been a large-scale panic outside because there are more and more zombies and fewer and fewer survivors. Everyone is worried about when they will become a zombie.”
Tang Xia frowned. She had lost all the joy she had upon seeing Axon. Her heart became heavier.
Looking at Chu Tiankuo’s indifferent face, Axon finally got up the courage to say everything he thought.
“Mr. Chu! It’s not only me. Everyone knows that you have serums. Many people wish for Mr. Chu to give away the serums. They hope that Mr. Chu can save them.”
Tang Xia was surprised for a while. That Chu Tiankuo had the serum was spread by her. His remaining serum was not enough to be distributed to a dozen people.
As she was blaming herself, she heard Chu Tiankuo smiling coldly beside her. “Since this is the case, let doomsday begin sooner.”
