Host! I told you to do a task! I didn't tell you to bbb.

Upon hearing this, Liu Yunshu raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes: "You know a shortcut?"

Chu Sheng nodded immediately, his cool fingertips gently brushing against her side, his tone soft and ingratiating:

"Yes, I've been here for a long time. I know exactly where the secret passages are and where there are fewer zombies."

As he spoke, he didn't forget to look up and gaze at Qin Zheng and Li Xin with his scarlet eyes.

The smile on his lips was innocent and harmless, but the provocation in his eyes was impossible to hide.

"And I also know that there are many medicines and canned goods that you need hidden in the cold storage at the very back of the warehouse."

Qin Zheng and Li Xin naturally saw the provocation in his eyes, and inwardly they were furious.

She really is a hypocrite! What a green tea b*tch!

However, the supplies in the cold storage were the most important part of their trip.

The intelligence report only mentioned the general location, but didn't specify the exact entrance, let alone what was hidden inside.

The fact that this kid could say it so easily shows that he is indeed very familiar with this place.

Liu Yunshu raised her hand and ruffled his hair, then turned to look at Qin Zheng.

"Since there's a shortcut, let's listen to him. That will save a lot of time and reduce casualties."

Qin Zheng glanced at Chu Sheng's hand gripping Liu Yunshu's waist, took a deep breath to suppress his anger, and said coldly, "Lead the way."

A hint of smugness flashed in Chu Sheng's eyes, but he didn't show it. He simply obediently took her hand.

"Come with me."

Chu Sheng pulled Liu Yunshu along, walking briskly into the depths of the alley.

Qin Zheng and Li Xin exchanged a glance, both seeing helplessness and frustration in each other's eyes, and could only follow along with their heads down.

After walking for about ten minutes, Chu Sheng stopped in front of a seemingly intact broken wall, raised his hand and knocked on the wall, making a dull "thump thump" sound.

"This is it."

As he spoke, he reached out and felt around the base of the wall a few times before suddenly pushing it hard.

With a loud crash, the broken wall was pushed open, revealing a hidden door that could only accommodate one person at a time.

Behind the door was a dark passageway, from which a damp, musty smell could be faintly detected.

"This passage is very old. It was used for pipeline maintenance in the past and leads directly to the unloading alley behind the warehouse area."

"The exit is hidden behind a row of abandoned compressors."

Chu Sheng turned to look at Liu Yunshu, his eyes full of "seeking praise," and then bowed first.

"It's a bit dark inside, be careful, sister."

Liu Yunshu nodded without hesitation and followed him, bending down and crawling inside.

The inside of the passage was indeed pitch black, and the air was stuffy, but it was relatively dry.

The ground beneath my feet was solid, and I could vaguely feel a slight airflow, indicating that the other end was open.

Qin Zheng and Li Xin walked at the very back.

Before bending down to enter, Li Xin glanced back warily at her surroundings before disappearing into the darkness.

Li Xin leaned closer to Qin Zheng in front of her and muttered through gritted teeth in an almost whispered voice:

"Qin Mutou, this kid is definitely suspicious! He exudes an eerie aura!"

Qin Zheng hummed in the darkness.

Li Xin continued to complain, her peach blossom eyes seemingly glowing even in the darkness.

"Look at his face, he's definitely wearing makeup! And those eyes, he's definitely wearing colored contact lenses!"

"Wearing colored contact lenses while escaping the apocalypse? Who are you trying to impress?"

"There's definitely something fishy going on! He's probably just a mentally unstable, immature teenager!"

The more he talked, the more he felt that his guess made sense.

Qin Zheng walked a few steps ahead in silence.

Just when Li Xin thought he wouldn't respond, a brief, emotionless comment came through:

"I think your perspective... is also quite problematic."

Li Xin: "..."

My suspicion is reasonable! How is the angle wrong?!

The light in the passage grew dimmer and dimmer, and only the figures of Chu Sheng and Liu Yunshu could be vaguely seen ahead, their hands tightly clasped together.

Chu Sheng would occasionally turn his head and whisper to Liu Yunshu to watch her step, his tone almost overflowing with affection.

The sight stung Li Xin's eyes, so she leaned closer to Qin Zheng and continued muttering in a whisper:

"Qin Mutou, listen to this! Listen carefully! He keeps calling me 'sister,' it's even saccharine sweeter than milk tea with double the saccharin before the apocalypse!"

"That kid is definitely faking it! One hundred percent! He's just taking advantage of Captain Liu's 'special needs' to curry favor and climb the ranks!"

Qin Zheng strode steadily through the darkness, and upon hearing this, he merely turned his head slightly and glanced at Li Xin.

"No matter what, he's now the third wife. Can you really ask Yun Shu to kick him out?"

Li Xin choked on his words and almost tripped over the pebbles under his feet. He steadied himself and glared at Qin Zheng's back with gritted teeth.

"You're so easygoing! Aren't you afraid this pretty boy will steal Captain Liu's heart?"

Then he muttered under his breath, "Tch, as if you're some kind of 'first wife' who's got everything under control!"

Qin Zheng remained silent. In the darkness, his gaze was fixed on the two figures embracing each other in front of him, his fingers clenching silently.

Hook it away?

That depends on whether he has the ability.

Chu Sheng seemed to sense the gaze behind him and paused in his steps.

Turning her head to the side, she said softly in a voice only Liu Yunshu could hear, "Sister, the brothers behind me don't seem to like me very much."

Liu Yunshu followed his gaze and glanced back, only to meet Qin Zheng's cold and brooding eyes.

She smiled wryly and patted Chu Sheng's hand: "It's okay, they're just stubborn but soft-hearted. They'll get used to each other."

Chu Sheng gave a low "hmm," but a cold glint flashed quickly in his eyes.

Is it ripe?

He had no intention of getting "familiar" with those two eyesores; they'd better be sensible and stay away from his "sister."

The passage wasn't very long; after walking for about five minutes, a faint light appeared ahead.

Chu Sheng quickened his pace and pushed open a rusty iron gate at the end of the gate. A gust of wind carrying the scent of grass and trees rushed in.

"arrive."

Liu Yunshu followed them out and found that it was indeed an abandoned unloading area.

The warehouse was filled with dusty wooden crates and dilapidated carts. Not far away was the back wall of the warehouse, which was covered with vines and well hidden.

"This is the back door of the warehouse's cold storage area."

Chu Sheng pointed to the low wall not far away, his tone carrying a hint of smug satisfaction.

Qin Zheng and Li Xin also came out, and the two quickly looked around.

Only after confirming there were no signs of zombies or mutants did my tense nerves relax a little.

Li Xin walked to the low wall, reached out and pushed the iron railing above, making a creaking sound.

He raised an eyebrow at Chu Sheng: "Not bad, kid, you've got some skills."

Chu Sheng ignored him and just clung to Liu Yunshu like a piece of chewing gum that he couldn't shake off.

Liu Yunshu glanced at the time and said in a deep voice, "Stop dawdling, Li Xin, notify everyone to move the supplies quickly."

"Understood."

Li Xin gave a cool military salute, but didn't forget to glare at Chu Sheng.

"Captain Liu, you'd better be careful, don't get fooled by some ill-intentioned guys."

Chu Sheng immediately looked at Liu Yunshu with a wronged expression, his eyes slightly red: "Sister, I didn't..."

"Alright," Liu Yunshu interrupted him, then glared at Li Xin. "Don't bully the newcomer."

Li Xin pouted and muttered, "Who bullied him? He's clearly a green tea b*tch," before turning to contact her teammates.

Qin Zheng walked to Liu Yunshu's side, his gaze sweeping over Chu Sheng's hand that was tightly gripping hers.

His Adam's apple bobbed, but he ultimately said nothing, only speaking in a deep voice:

"I'll go to the outer perimeter to keep watch and prevent the mutants from launching a counterattack."

Liu Yunshu nodded: "Be careful."

Qin Zheng hummed in agreement, gave her a deep look, then glanced at Chu Sheng before turning and walking into the shadows.

Chu Sheng watched the two figures disappear into the distance, and the smile in his eyes turned colder.

Not long after, the team members emerged from the secret passage. When they saw Chu Sheng, they were all stunned, their eyes filled with curiosity.

Li Xin directed everyone to load the supplies onto the trucks, and the unloading area was immediately filled with the sounds of things being moved and footsteps.

Chu Sheng leaned against Liu Yunshu, his gaze slowly sweeping over the busy team members.

He suddenly leaned closer to Liu Yunshu, his cool fingertips gently brushing against her palm, his voice extremely low:

"Sister, there's actually a batch of vaccines hidden in the cold storage. They're pre-apocalyptic stock, so they should still be usable."

Liu Yunshu immediately looked at Chu Sheng: "Really? Where exactly is it?"

Chu Sheng smiled, his innocent eyes now tinged with a hint of cunning.

"It's in the innermost cubicle. I'll take you there."

Before Liu Yunshu could respond, he pulled her toward the back door of the cold storage.

As soon as the two of them stepped through the low door, Chu Sheng locked it behind them.

Liu Yunshu raised an eyebrow at him: "Why are you locking the door?"

Chu Sheng turned around, his cold body pressing against her, trapping her in the narrow space between the door and the wall.

He raised his hand, his fingertips gently caressing her cheek, his dark red eyes surging with intense possessiveness.

"Those vaccines are real. I won't lie to my sister."

His voice was low, his breath brushing against her lips.

"But I want to... spend a little more time alone with my sister. Just a little while."

His fingertips slid down her cheek to her chin, then gently lifted her head, his gaze greedily tracing her features.

"Those people outside are too noisy. That Li Xin is especially annoying."

Looking at the stubbornness in his eyes, Liu Yunshu sighed helplessly.

She could sense that this guy's strength was unfathomable, and... he seemed to have an almost pathological obsession with her.

Just then, Li Xin's voice came from outside the door: "Captain Liu! Where are you? Have you found the vaccine yet?"

Chu Sheng's face instantly darkened, and a flash of ferocity crossed his eyes.

Liu Yunshu noticed his change in mood and gently kissed the corner of his tightly pursed lips as if to comfort him.

They parted as soon as they touched, he whispered:

"Alright, stop being so temperamental. Let's find the vaccine and get it out of there, or they'll really go crazy."

Chu Sheng was stunned for a moment, then his eyes shone brightly.

He almost impatiently lowered his head, pressing his cool lips heavily against hers, taking the initiative and deepening the kiss.

After a long while, he finally released her, panting, his forehead pressed against hers, his dark red eyes glistening with tears, a mixture of satisfaction and longing.

He still held her hand tightly, his fingertips lingeringly caressing her knuckles, his voice still slightly hoarse with emotion:

"Okay, I'll listen to my sister."

After saying that, he raised his hand and opened the freezer, inside which were neatly stacked rows of sealed vaccine reagents.

Liu Yunshu looked at the vaccines, a hint of joy flashing in her eyes.

Just as she bent down to reach for it, a gust of cold wind suddenly blew across her legs, and she let out a muffled groan.

Chu Sheng suddenly hugged her from behind, resting his cool chin on her shoulder.

"Sister," his voice was muffled, "please don't leave me again, okay?"

Liu Yunshu turned to look at him in disbelief. "What the hell is this foreplay?!"
