Ye MingYe raised his eyebrow lightly. She was still kind like in the last life. But why would she push him into a crowd of zombies in the end? He really needed to investigate. Even if the times were different, the experience was different so that it was unlikely of him to find anything, he still wanted to find an explanation for his own sake.

The three of them followed at a leisurely pace. When passing a village, they all decided to stop for a second.Right now, food was the most important thing. They couldn’t let go of any opportunity to scavenge. They stopped the car next to a small yard. The whole place was eerily silent. XunMi hadn’t seen any red dots on the map. Instead, there were four or five green dots blinking repeatedly. There were survivors here. But she didn’t know if they were good or bad.

“Be careful,” Ye MingYe grabbed XunMi’s hand and pulled her behind him. That was an instinctive reaction. Even if Ye MingYe wanted to control his actions, he couldn’t. It was as if for a thousand years, he had always wanted to protect her, make sure she wasn’t hurt. A few scenes flashed in his mind, passing too quickly for him to grab onto them. He shook his head. That feeling was far too strange.

XunMi wrinkled her forehead with worry. Her husband shouldn’t be like this. Her husband should be more arrogant. Was this because of her? Last lifetime’s original soul had killed him. This lifetime, she had become the original soul. He definitely had struggles in his heart, even if his natural instinct was to protect her. XunMi was a bit saddened. She couldn’t change the things that the original soul did. The only thing that she could do was make her husband believe in her. Even if she harmed everyone else, she definitely wouldn’t hurt him.

“Brother Ye, I’m only saying this once. You are the person that I don’t want to hurt the most in the world. Even if it was my life on the line, I wouldn’t put you in danger. It doesn’t matter whether you believe me or not. But when I first saw you, I felt that you and I were fated to meet. You might think it’s absurd, but to me, that feeling is very precious. So can you please give me a chance to show that you can trust me?” XunMi looked into Ye MingYe’s eyes determinedly. The decisiveness and perseverance made Ye MingYe a bit shocked. He once again felt that she was different than the her of the last lifetime. Everytime he wanted to get away from her, there was a voice in his heart saying that he would regret it. Even now, although he was hesitant, he could no longer control that thudding heart of his.  Perhaps, perhaps…The events from the last lifetime should be forgotten.

After all, it was because of ‘her’ actions that there was the him today that was able to meet this different her today.

“Alright.” His gaze softened as he whispered.

Coincidentally, Ling Chen came back from his investigation of the surroundings. When he saw the two’s warm atmosphere, he broke out into a smile as if he was watching a movie. “Yo, I only left for a while. What’s this? You got to invite me to the congratulatory dinner. Although it’s the apocalypse, good news is still worth celebrating.” Ling Chen put his hands on his hips while laughing. Yet he was afraid to speak his mind. It was the apocalypse. Good news was probably far too rare nowadays.

XunMi didn’t respond. She only smiled lightly while warmly looking up at Ye MingYe.

Ye MingYe couldn’t resist but to reach out his hand and put XunMi’s head. “I’ll protect you. Don’t leave me.” As long as you don’t betray me, I’ll use this lifetime to dote on you. I’ll place my life as a bet one more time. My winning or losing is all up to you.

XunMi leaned into Ye MingYe, her eyes crinkled as she smiled brightly. Her husband was the best. He was always so good to her. She needed to protect her husband well in this life so that Ming family couldn’t scheme up anything. Speaking of which, she felt that there was something off with the original soul pushing her husband down to the zombies. But the book hadn’t written specifics. She could only wait until she got to B city to clear up a few things.

“What’s the situation inside?” Ye MingYe naturally placed his arm around XuMi’s shoulders, allowing her to get comfortable.

Ling Chen put back on his serious face, and spoke gravely. “I didn’t see any zombies. There weren’t even corpses. But there was one house with a locked door. There are five survivors inside. One of them seems a bit strange.” He was someone with earth powers. He could use the soil itself to extract his information. Although it only worked over a distance of three or four meters, it was still useful.

XunMi raised an eyebrow. She could guess why one of the green dots on her map was blinking. Blinking was for unstable conditions. It looked like one of them was awakening. It was just unclear if that person was becoming a zombie or awakening abilities. She turned to look at Ye MingYe, waiting for his decision.

“Let’s go inside and take a look.” Ye MingYe’s lips curved up ever so slightly. As expected, following his heart has allowed him to feel so much joy.

Ling Chen brought the two to collect all the food that he had found earlier, not leaving even a grain behind. Standing in front of a gated little mansion, XunMi whistled with appreciation. This kind of mansion in the countryside was beautiful, much more than the large homes in big cities. Here, the air was clearer, and everything was cheaper.

Ling Chen stepped forward and knocked on the door. After waiting awhile, there was still no response from inside. If XunMi hadn’t seen that the green dots on the map were still there, they would have probably wondered if there were actually people inside. Based on perception alone, they really wouldn’t have been able to detect anyone. They seemed to have hidden their breath. At least one of them probably had some ability.

Ye MingYe was impatient. With a electric bolt, he ‘opened’ the door himself. Ling Chen looked up at his leader with admiration. So you could play like this! Duly noted. XunMi wasn’t affected. Her husband’s domineering personality hadn’t changed at all. But she really liked it.

Bam! The big door fell to the ground, forcing the people inside to jump with surprise. A beautiful girl wearing a long white dress had fear on her face. Yet, her eyes were filled with dense excitement. She knew that this person was going to appear in this mountain village sometime. It was worth coming here from afar. She finally had the chance to get closer to him. That damned Ming XunMi. It was all XunMi’s fault in the last lifetime. This time, she definitely wouldn’t allow her any chance to get close to him.

He could only be hers. He was hers.

“Ming Mei, are you okay? Don’t be scared, we’ll protect you.” Yu WenBo hugged Ming Mei and softly comforted. He was the leader in this group of five. Before the apocalypse, he was part of Special Ops so his skills were naturally high. After the apocalypse, he awakened fire abilities, now currently mastered to Level 2.

Ming Mei appeared moved, and quietly said thanks to Yu WenBo.
