Chapter 73 - 73 Lets Be Friends

73 Lets Be Friends

Gu Zi was dumbfounded. The comments were also dumbfounded. The two zombies who ran the fastest couldn’t help but laugh when they heard their conversation.

Gu Zi and Xu Yan looked at each other and ran tacitly. At the same time, the radio that had disappeared for a long time finally sounded again, but it did not bring good news.

“As two hours have passed in the game, the zombies have obtained a skill increase in the long pursuit battle. Their speed has changed from fast walking to jogging.”

When the zombies who were moving behind heard this news, they excitedly let out a series of howls. Their movements were like the Monkey King, who had been suppressed for 500 years at the foot of the Five Fingers Mountain before finally obtaining freedom.

Then, the five-man zombie group strode forward and began to enjoy the joy of the chase freely.

Ah, the feeling of running.

Xu Yan and Gu Zi’s luck along the way seemed to have disappeared after helping Bai Feng and Mo Yu. Not only did they not encounter any teammates along the way, but they also encountered two groups of S-Grade zombie teams.

Gu Zi and Xu Yan’s legs moved faster than their brains under the effect of their survival instincts. The moment the zombies pounced on them, the two of them completed a sharp turn and ran through the iron fence to the Autumn Leaf Garden.

Gu Zi grabbed a branch beside him and blocked the iron door.

Although the zombies had increased their running speed, because the character settings were that they were stiff and they gradually lost human thinking, they could not open the iron door. They could only keep wandering outside and shout at Gu Zi and Xu Yan from time to time.

Gu Zi and Xu Yan finally heaved a sigh of relief. The two of them looked at each other and sat on the lawn to rest. Gu Zi spread herself out like a pancake and heaved a long sigh of relief. “Phew, I didn’t work so hard during the physical test at school. This game is really a training game.”

Although Xu Yan did not disregard his image like him, he was not much better.

His carefully made appearance in the morning was ruined. Sweat dripped down his forehead. Even his silk shirt was drenched in sweat and stuck to his body. He no longer looked like his usual refined young master.

Gu Zi finally sat up after lying down for enough. He looked at Xu Yan beside him and suddenly laughed. “Do you know that I hated you very much before?”

Xu Yan, who was suddenly hated, was dumbfounded. “Why do you hate me? I didn’t provoke you. This is the first time we’re officially playing together, right?”

Gu Zi smiled and explained to Xu Yan, “Previously, every time I saw you, you were dressed in a suit and leather shoes. You even had to wear a collar pin and cufflinks for a standard three-piece suit. At that time, I felt that you were quite pretentious. Later on, every time I met you, it was at a cocktail party. We haven’t officially communicated. You might not have noticed it yourself, but you like to narrow your eyes and look at people. It made me think that you’re not easy to get along with.”

“Until we met this morning, I still thought that you were very smug. It’s just a event and you even had to style yourself. But I didn’t expect you to take the initiative to talk to me. You even comforted me. It was only then that I changed my opinion of you.”

Xu Yan did not expect that he would one day be criticized for liking to dress up. He was almost amused by Gu Zi and could not help but say, “Is it possible that this is my aesthetic hobby?”

“Then why are you always squinting at people!”

“I’m nearsighted, big brother! If I don’t wear glasses, I can’t see people clearly. Can’t I squint to confirm?”

Gu Zi did not expect this answer at all. He leaned over and sat beside Xu Yan. He sized him up suspiciously. “You’re nearsighted?”

“What else?” Xu Yan rolled his eyes angrily. “We’re in the same class in school. We see each other all the time. Have you never noticed?”

When Gu Zi heard him say this, he rubbed his hands uneasily. “I didn’t notice. I was just hanging out with Zhao Wen and the rest.”

Xu Yan met Gu Zi’s gaze and pointed at his eyes. “My left eye is 150 and my right eye is 200. I don’t wear glasses often because your eyeballs will protrude if you wear them for too long. That will be very ugly.”

The more Xu Yan explained, the more uneasy Gu Ziyue became. He smiled awkwardly and did not know what to say at all.

Xu Yan stood up and extended his hand to Gu Zi, who was still sitting on the ground. “Let’s go. Let’s continue searching for shelters and supplies.”

“Let’s forget about the misunderstandings of the past. Now that we’ve gotten to know each other again, we might be friends.”

“My name is Xu Yan. Nice to meet you.”

Gu Zi also smiled. He had a likable personality to begin with. Since Xu Yan had invited him, he did not refuse. He held Xu Yan’s hand and stood up.

“Gu Zi, we’ll be good friends.”
