Even without cheats, we must survive the apocalypse

"I don't know. It must have been difficult. My body seemed unable to bear it." Chu Xiao was a little scared. The intense pain made him dare not recall it.

"Then don't use it." Gu Ke felt vaguely that this power was by no means without cost. Her expression softened, and she suddenly spoke out her true feelings involuntarily, "You don't have to work so hard in the future, as long as I am here. I will protect you."

Chu Xiao was slightly stunned, but saw Gu Ke quickly covered his mouth, and his cheeks turned red at a very fast speed.

"Okay, okay, get ready, we're leaving here!" She quickly changed the subject, "We still have to find a way to get out of this damn place."

(ps: I have some writer's block, I need to sort out the outline again.)

Chapter 56: Changes

In fact, there was nothing to prepare. Chu Xiao had a good sleep. Although he didn't fully recover, at least his ability to move was guaranteed.

There was a dull feeling of soreness in the muscles, as if I had just done some intense exercise and hadn't recovered yet.

"There are two bullets left."

Gu Ke handed the pistol to Chu Xiao, but Chu Xiao pushed it back.

"Leave it to you. My marksmanship is terrible. It would be a waste for me to use it."

Gu Ke did not refuse and put the gun away as she was told. She asked curiously, "Where did you get this gun? It shouldn't be that easy to get a gun in China. And judging by the model, this gun is not made in China."

After asking the question, Gu Ke realized that his occupational disease had come on. Worried that Chu Xiao would be unhappy, he added, "If it's inconvenient to say it, forget it."

"There's nothing inconvenient to say..." Chu Xiao introduced the origin of the gun in a few words.

What he said was simple, but to Gu Ke, it was a thrilling adventure. Gu Ke suddenly felt a little scared. The man in front of her had experienced all kinds of dangers before meeting her. If she was not careful, she would not be able to meet him.

"'Zheng Wei', right..." Gu Ke muttered the name in her mind. Although her instinct as a police officer made her think that the name was probably a pseudonym, she secretly made up her mind: if she were to meet this woman, she would definitely help her man get back his face!

Chu Xiao woke up the sleeping Yun Duoer.

The little girl was sleepy and rubbed her eyes sleepily. Chu Xiao felt a little distressed, rubbed the little girl's hair, and said softly: "After leaving here, I will find you a comfortable big bed so that you can have a good sleep."

"Yeah." Yun Duoer, who had just woken up and hadn't had time to put on the coat of a sharp-tongued loli, was so well-behaved and cute that it made people's hearts melt.

Chu Xiao held Yun Duoer in one hand, carried the blood-stained iron rod in the other, and left the hiding car with Gu Ke.

Inside the car and outside the car are simply two different worlds. Inside the car is an ambiguous space between him and the two beauties, while outside the car is a dark, cold, and dangerous underground maze.

But Chu Xiao quickly changed his state, like a hunting cat, tensing all his nerves instantly. This transformation was very natural to him. Walking under the flickering dim light, Chu Xiao found that he was not afraid at all, but even felt at ease.

...so calm as to seem a little icy.

This mentality, or spiritual change, startled Chu Xiao. He began to realize that the changes brought about by the third enhancement seemed to be manifesting in himself. The previous two enhancements only made his physical fitness stronger, but this time, perhaps because he used it twice in a short period of time and went deep into the state that his body could not bear, the changes brought about other aspects.

"Gu Ke, don't you think it's a lot brighter here?" Chu Xiao confirmed to Gu Ke in a low voice.

"No." Gu Ke looked up at the light bulb above his head. Instead of being brighter, the light above his head became dimmer due to the unstable voltage of the independent power supply system.

"Is there any problem?" Gu Ke asked with concern.

Chu Xiao hesitated for a moment. Not wanting to make Gu Ke worry unnecessarily, he decided to hide his change for the time being: "Nothing, maybe it's my illusion."

Although it is unclear what price the "benefits" brought by this virus will cost him in the long run, at least now, he has a certain degree of night vision ability, which is of great help in this current adventure.

The transfer location Zhang Zhan mentioned at the end was a little far from where Chu Xiao and the others were now. It was a sundry warehouse located in the inner layer of the underground garage. Although the approximate location was known, it was still difficult to find that small room in such a large underground space.

Chu Xiao led Gu Ke and moved along the corners, trying to avoid the zombies that gathered together. Both he and Gu Ke were not in a good condition, so they would try to avoid fighting if possible - of course, one or two lone zombies were another matter, and they would kill them if they could.

"Don't you think it's a little strange?"

After bypassing a small group of zombies not far away, Gu Ke bent down, lowered his voice, and whispered in Chu Xiao's ear.

She was very close, and her warm breath made Chu Xiao's ears feel a little itchy. She didn't seem to realize that several buttons of her shirt had been torn off in the "battle" just now. Now that she bent over, her collar drooped, revealing her beautiful outline and deep cleavage.

Chu Xiao was beginning to feel a little distracted, and then he heard Yun Duoer in his arms hum with some dissatisfaction - apparently the loli in his arms had noticed his gaze.

"What's... weird about that?" Wanting to maintain his image in front of the loli, Chu Xiao quickly calmed his mind.

Gu Ke didn't notice that she had exposed herself, and frowned as she said, "Don't you think that we have encountered too few mutants?"

After hearing this, Chu Xiao also realized that something was wrong.

The direction they were moving in almost crossed most of the underground garage, but they only encountered two or three mutants scattered along the way. Most of them were obviously "infants" who had just been thrown down from above not long ago, and their size was not much bigger than ordinary zombies.

Chu Xiao, who knew that this underground world was turning into a breeding ground for poisonous insects, immediately understood the seriousness of the matter. The reduction of mutants did not mean a reduction in danger, but on the contrary, it meant greater trouble.

Chu Xiao immediately thought of the "Gu King-level" mutant he had encountered on the negative second floor before - does the reduction in general mutants mean that the evolutionary battle in this Gu breeding farm has come to an end, and the true Gu King is about to be, or has already been, born?

Chu Xiao didn't even want to think about how terrifying that monster would be. He could only pray that he would never encounter it.

He glanced at the cute "dangerous little radar" in his arms, stared at Yun Duoer, and thought: Now it depends on whether your little radar works.

When Chu Xiao and others arrived at the hiding place of Zhang Zhan and others before, they found that as expected, the "mutant" that Chu Xiao had dealt with had turned into a wreckage. The terrible giant corpse seemed to have been devoured by something even more terrible, leaving only some red bones with flesh and blood.

Naturally, there was no trace of Zhang Zhan and others here. They evacuated in time and should not have collided with the "mutant" that came later.

However, before they left, they left marks on the wall. In order to prevent Chu Xiao from not being able to find their new hiding place after returning, they specially drew arrows on the wall.

"That guy is really a rare good man." Chu Xiao said with emotion, "I hope he can live longer."

"Yeah, it's not easy to be a good person these days." Gu Ke didn't know what he was thinking about, and there was some worry in his eyes.

Chu Xiao suddenly remembered that she had not yet had time to tell Gu Ke what kind of ending her kind colleagues in the shelter had faced for the justice in their hearts...

He had a headache and didn't know how to start...

(ps: I have a severe headache. I am rushing to write a chapter. I am going to take a rest now.)

Chapter 57: Convergence

Following the marks left by Zhang Zhan, Chu Xiao and his friends finally approached the storage warehouse where they were hiding.

"Are those people hiding in there?" Gu Ke asked in a low voice.

"The mark left by Zhang Zhan does point to here," Chu Xiao was a little uncertain. "When we separated, he told me the location was also in this direction, so it should be correct."

"Do you think the leader named Zhang Zhan is trustworthy?" Although Gu Ke had saved Zhang Zhan and others' lives, she had only met him once. Gu Ke had never had any contact with Zhang Zhan, so she didn't know what kind of person he was.

In this post-disaster world, it is very unwise to easily trust the kindness of others.

"He is a guy who will risk his life for others. If that was all acting, I have nothing to say even if I was deceived." Chu Xiao recalled his previous encounter with the boy and thought that he was indeed a rare good person. "However, it is right to remain vigilant and maintain a limited degree of trust."

It is necessary to remain vigilant. Chu Xiao and Gu Ke both know that there are many times in the world when harm does not come from malice.

Chu Xiao thought about it and was still a little worried, so he asked Yun Duoer: "Girl, do you think it's dangerous for us to go over there now?"

Gu Ke was a little confused as to why Chu Xiao wanted to consult this little girl at this time, but she saw that little girl closed her eyes, as if she felt something, and then said arrogantly: "I don't think there is any danger, you can go."

Seeing that Xiao Leida had expressed his opinion, Chu Xiao dispelled his doubts and said to Gu Ke: "It should be fine, you can go over."

"Do you really believe what this little girl says?" Gu Ke widened his eyes in surprise.

Yun Duoer snorted rudely at Gu Ke, raised her chin high, and looked adorable as if she was saying, "I'm so great."

This made Gu Ke both angry and amused.

Chu Xiao touched Yun Duo'er's little head and said lovingly, "This is my lucky goddess."

The three of them were about to continue approaching the warehouse, but Chu Xiao suddenly did something. Under Gu Ke's gaze, Chu Xiao suddenly stopped her, and then reached out to help the woman close her somewhat torn collar to cover up the spring light that might be revealed.

Gu Ke's face immediately turned red, realizing that she had exposed her beauty all the way. She quickly covered her collar, her eyes moist, and she said with gritted teeth: "Okay, you actually just reminded me now, tell me, have you been peeking the whole time?"

"You can't call it peeking." In order to maintain his image, Chu Xiao forced an excuse, "I just accidentally took a peek or two."

"So..." Seeing Chu Xiao trying to hold on, Gu Ke burst out laughing and asked with a red face, "Does it look good?"

"The view is very pleasant." Chu Xiao admitted generously. Gu Ke's figure was really very good, with curves in all the right places and almost perfect lines. She must have taken good care of herself, and her skin was as white as milk, so that in this dim environment, the little skin she showed made Chu Xiao feel a little blinded.

This simple comment made Gu Ke feel much better. The policewoman felt a little unbelievable. Just by being seen by him, she felt weak all over. Not only could she not lose her temper, but she even felt a sense of joy that she could not deny.

"Don't you want me to be seen by others?" There was a blush on Gu Ke's pretty face that could not be concealed by the darkness. In her slight shyness, this woman showed a different kind of charm, which made Chu Xiao's heart slightly moved.

"Yes!" He answered very forcefully.

The reason why Chu Xiao waited until now to make this move couldn't be more obvious. It was obviously the possessiveness of a man that was at work. However, Gu Ke didn't hate the hint of strength he showed at this moment.

"Okay." Gu Ke suddenly leaned close to Chu Xiao's ear, and kissed Chu Xiao's ear with her soft red lips.

Her voice was soft and had an alluring hoarseness. Unconsciously, every sound she made, including her gentle breathing, touched Chu Xiao's heart: "Then... from now on, sister will only show you..."

……

In a car not far from the door of the storage warehouse, Dian Yihan sat in the driver's seat, vigilantly paying attention to the surrounding situation.

She was on the lookout, and if she found anything bad approaching, she would immediately notify everyone in the warehouse and prepare to evacuate. Of course, she also had another task, which was to wait for Chu Xiao to come over and be responsible for meeting the other party.

"... So much time has passed, they shouldn't come." Dian Yihan was not optimistic about Chu Xiao's actions. It was true that the man was too strong, but he actually took the initiative to rush into the zombie group to save people, and there were even more bizarre and terrifying mutants. In Dian Yihan's opinion, the possibility of him surviving was slim.

But... Dian Yihan felt a romantic mood from the man's actions. Even if he died, he died on the way to someone important. As an emotional creature, she could not judge Chu Xiao's actions rationally. Sometimes, she would secretly replace the policewoman in danger with herself, and replace Chu Xiao with her sweetheart Zhang Zhan...

"If it were me, no matter what the result was, I would be so moved that I would cry, and I wouldn't have any regrets." Dian Yihan whispered to herself, looking back at the closed door of the warehouse, feeling a little melancholy. She suddenly thought of an inappropriate but very girlish question.

——Should I take the initiative to confess my feelings to that piece of wood?

The warehouse is full of females now. Even the only male here has to be treated as an opponent. If I don't take the initiative, will others take advantage of me first? It would be fine if those women take advantage of me first, but if he is turned gay by Brother Fang, I will have no place to cry.

...Besides, in this damn world, it's not surprising to die at any time...

The girl's mind was wandering far away when she suddenly heard a knock on the car window. Dian Yihan was startled, thinking that she was discovered by the zombies when she was distracted. She quickly picked up her weapon and prepared to fight for her life - how could she die before she even confessed her feelings!

However, when she saw the situation outside the window clearly, her heart finally settled down.

"It's you!" Dian Yihan walked out of the car with some surprise.

Although she didn't know how Chu Xiao noticed her hiding in the car, the kind-hearted girl was naturally happy to see her savior appear.

"Thanks to the marks you left behind, otherwise it would be difficult to find you." Chu Xiao said with a smile.

At this time, Dian Yihan also noticed the extremely beautiful young woman next to Chu Xiao. Although her clothes were a little torn, she still recognized that she was the policewoman who had helped them before - after all, although she didn't see her face clearly at the time, her enviable figure was enough to leave a deep impression on Dian Yihan.

She couldn't help but feel even happier: "You really rescued this lady! That's great!"

Even Dian Yihan herself couldn't explain it clearly. Perhaps it was because she had just put herself and Zhang Zhan into the identities of Gu Ke and Chu Xiao, so that when she saw Chu Xiao successfully rescue the important person, it was as if she was being heroically saved by Zhang Zhan.

"This is a good sign." Dian Yihan thought happily.

(ps: The shelter dungeon has entered the second half, I have to sort out the subsequent plot)

Chapter 58 Contradiction

Seeing Chu Xiao successfully reunited, Zhang Zhan was naturally happy. Not only because the two lifesavers had escaped from the desperate situation alive, but also because with the addition of these two people, Zhang Zhan felt that the probability of getting out of this underground garage had greatly increased.

They are now in great need of effective combat power. In the entire team, apart from himself and Brother Fang, only Dian Yihan can be considered half combat power. In this case, even if they have any plans, they lack the ability to resist risks.

There is a strong smell of dust in the sundry warehouse. Usually, few people come here. The things piled up inside look more like garbage than sundries.

"This place was originally used as a warehouse, but the location is too remote and it has never been used, so it has gradually become a garbage storage for useless things that people don't want to throw away." The person who said this was a young woman in an OL uniform. Her face was pretty, but it was covered in dust and her hair was messy. She hadn't taken care of it for a long time. Her clothes were a little dirty and torn, but it was still clear that she was probably a staff member of the supermarket here.

Zhang Zhan introduced Chu Xiao: "This is Sister Wang, the former manager of the underground supermarket. Thanks to Sister Wang's familiarity with the terrain here, we can avoid many detours."

Sister Wang nodded politely to Chu Xiao, and when she looked at Gu Ke behind Chu Xiao, she was surprised at first, but when she saw Gu Ke's appearance clearly, she suddenly shouted, "Ah, it's you!"

Zhang Zhan was a little surprised: "Sister Wang, have you met Officer Gu before?"

But Sister Wang sneered: "It's not just me, most people here have seen her! She is the woman in the video!"

Gu Ke didn't want to pay attention to these women, but she was still stunned when she heard this. After a little thought, she understood what the video Sister Wang was talking about was. It should be the "help guide" that Gu Ke posted online before. It is estimated that Sister Wang also saw this video when the network was not interrupted.

Sister Wang's emotions immediately became a little agitated, and her eyes became very unfriendly. The woman said in a somewhat gloomy tone: "I can't believe that someone like you would come down to wait for death with us."

This malice came very suddenly and made Zhang Zhan feel very embarrassed.

"Sister Wang, what are you talking about!" Zhang Zhan immediately stopped in front of the woman, "Officer Gu saved our lives before!"

"Yes! She saved our lives!" Sister Wang was very emotional, "But how can we repay her for what she owes us!"

The women around noticed Gu Ke's face. Although they didn't say anything, their expressions almost all became very ugly. Obviously, after seeing Gu Ke's appearance clearly, they also did not welcome her arrival.
