Xiao Ye, who had been obediently behaving, swiftly stabbed at the robbers with his dagger.
The momentarily relaxed robbers didn't expect Xiao Ye to act so quickly.
All they could see was Xiao Ye's sharp gaze, a moment of danger directed straight at their hearts.
Xiao Ye snatched the gun from his hand, and the robber desperately tried to retrieve it.
"Damn it."
Seeing this, his companion, startled, quickly fumbled with his pants.
He hadn't drawn his handgun yet.
His temple suddenly felt a chill.
The companion's face was filled with fear, "Don't kill me, please..."
Bang.
Xiao Ye's eyes were icy, his actions decisive!
In this apocalypse, it was either you die or I die.
To be merciful to enemies was to be cruel to oneself.
Xiao Ye dealt with both people in the car.
He tucked a handgun from the back into his clothes.
Looking through the car window, Xiao Ye seemed to be plotting something.
When the tattooed man's boss arrived with a box of supplies...
"Bang bang!"
The tattooed man's boss saw his subordinates falling one by one, shot.
"Not good!"
The tattooed man's boss's face darkened. Seeing the gun firing from the car, he scrambled to dodge.
The people beside him fell one after another.
Xiao Ye's aim was too precise.
The tattooed boss's eyes widened in disbelief as he saw Xiao Ye getting out of their car.
His face was cold and handsome, with none of the fear from before.
The boss's pupils contracted, and he managed a bitter laugh, "You were pretending to be weak all along..."
They had truly been fooled by Xiao Ye, not taking this kid seriously.
They thought sending two subordinates would be enough to keep Xiao Ye in check.
"Your things are mine now."
Xiao Ye wasted no words and shot the boss in the chest.
The boss immediately knelt down, watching Xiao Ye approach with wide eyes.
He picked up the guns from the tattooed men like they were dropped loot.
He collected all the bullets and put them in his pockets.
Facing the dying boss, he watched Xiao Ye with hateful eyes.
"I'll help you collect the bodies."
Xiao Ye's expression was calm and indifferent. He moved a large box of supplies into his car.
Then, Xiao Ye fired a shot into the sky.
Zombies around heard the commotion and, drawn by the smell of blood, rushed over.
The boss saw zombies devouring his dead comrades.
Xiao Ye drove off as his car was about to leave.
With his heart full of resentment and unwillingness, the boss let out a scream under the frenzied biting of the zombies.
After the scream, Xiao Ye drove away.
He didn't leave anyone behind but instead drove the car back to the safe zone.
This was because there were still two bodies in the car, attracting the attention of the zombies.
Xiao Ye fired madly at the zombies outside the car window.
He threw the two bodies out of the car and sped towards the safe zone.
"I must hurry, I can't let Xiao Fei really have any accidents..."
Compared to dealing with the tattooed men earlier, Xiao Ye's brows now revealed an incomparably genuine solemnity.
"Hold on, I'm coming to save you, Xiao Fei."
...
Seeing Xiao Ye's solemn face and exceptionally anxious tone in the video footage.
Chu Fei originally didn't want to relive the memories, only wanting to wait and kill Xiao Ye.
However, her firm resolve wavered upon hearing Xiao Ye's voice.
Her expression softened, "Xiao Ye didn't want to abandon me back then?"
The words Xiao Ye had spoken to her in the safe zone were all an act?!
Chu Fei had also thought Xiao Ye was acting, but his portrayal was too realistic and ruthless.
At that moment, Chu Fei was filled with disappointment.
Seeing Xiao Ye's decisive and clean fight against the tattooed men, risking everything.
She suddenly began to think from Xiao Ye's perspective.
Xiao Ye was just an ordinary person without a gun. Other than luring the robbers to find supplies,
what other way could he protect himself after snatching the handgun?
Feng Lao and the others, seeing Xiao Ye facing despair and calmly turning the situation around, couldn't help but exclaim, "Xiao Ye's character and thinking are top-notch. If he hadn't betrayed Blue Star, with his abilities, he should be a genius of our human race."
"It's a pity that we wanted to give the infected some space to survive back then. Perhaps Xiao Ye wouldn't have fallen?"
At this moment, a group of elders from the judgment platform showed complex expressions.
This was because Xiao Ye's performance in the轮回 (reincarnation) and on Blue Star had so far shown no moral failing.
What was originally a universal condemnation of Xiao Ye on Blue Star was now becoming increasingly confusing.
"Xiao Ye is rushing to save War God Chu. There shouldn't be any misunderstandings, right?"
The people of Blue Star were curious. With the current developments, Xiao Ye and Chu Fei didn't seem to have deep hatred.
Chu Fei clenched her fist and said solemnly, "No, I've already left."
"How did you leave?"
"A group of ability users came to the safe zone and rescued all of us."
The people of Blue Star were stunned upon hearing Chu Fei's words. They turned their gaze to the memory footage.
Xiao Ye drove the SUV and rushed all the way to the safe zone.
All he could see were the corpses of the tattooed men, and the women they had brought for their amusement were nowhere to be seen.
The strong smell of blood constantly attracted the zombies.
However, Xiao Ye's footsteps didn't stop; he was still frantically searching for Chu Fei.
He searched through the bodies of the robbers and finally found a man who was not quite dead.
The man was barely breathing, and Xiao Ye grabbed his clothes.
"What happened here?!"
The man's breathing grew weaker, and he struggled to tell Xiao Ye.
"We were attacked at the safe zone, and those women were taken away..."
Xiao Ye let go of the robber, and the roar of zombies reached his ears.
The zombies were about to flood the safe zone, and he couldn't stay here.
"Xiao Fei..."
Xiao Ye's face was grim. He lowered his head, his eyes reddened.
What would a young girl, like a budding flower, face when taken away by someone?
Xiao Ye couldn't help but imagine the worst. He smashed his fist hard against the wall.
"I'm sorry, I'm late."
Scarlet blood flowed down his fist.
Chu Fei stood outside the frame, her lips trembling.
She wanted to tell Xiao Ye that she had been rescued.
Their relationship was just forced cohabitation for seven days...
Xiao Ye didn't need to blame himself so much.
"Xiao Ye must have really liked Chu Fei at this time. The helplessness of not being able to save the girl he loved is too overwhelming."
"From now on, I'll find a boyfriend according to Xiao Shen's standards. After seeing his outstanding performance in the Blue Star memories, I'm completely idolizing this man."
"Do not forget the shame of Blue Star. Women like you, your values follow your looks. What's so great about this traitor Xiao Ye?"
The moments they spent living together in the轮回 flashed through Chu Fei's mind.
Could Chu Fei not understand Xiao Ye's developing affection for her?
She had also been attracted to Xiao Ye back then, especially in the desperate situation of the apocalypse. They had become each other's only trusted companions.
Chu Fei suddenly felt a pang of regret.
If she hadn't been so decisive and had waited a little longer at the safe zone.
Xiao Ye coming to save her would have prevented their estrangement so early.
Ultimately, it was she who hadn't completely trusted Xiao Ye.
