In the apocalypse, you start with two knives, and all your equipment depends on drops.

Chapter 229 Reencounter with Ye Xuanmin

It wasn't until they had walked quite a distance that another member of the group muttered to the young man in the lead, "He looks so clean and tidy, but I never expected him to be someone who uses his looks to curry favor!"

Another man chimed in, "Yeah, the captain kindly reminded him, but that guy gave him the cold shoulder. Unbelievable!"

The man called the captain turned and glared at them, then snapped, "Don't talk nonsense. That girl might actually have some skills. If she were just using her looks to get ahead, how could she be so calm when facing the mutated flying beast?"

Her composure didn't seem to suggest that she believed someone would come to her rescue.

It's not that they're afraid!

The person who spoke first was somewhat displeased upon hearing his words.

"Captain, you don't happen to have your eye on that girl too, and want to be her henchman? If so, don't bring us along, we can't handle this kind of thing, it's too dirty!"

The man called the captain's expression changed, and he just cursed, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

That man's head had already been removed from the root!

In mid-air, the blue wind wings behind Chi Heng fluttered gently in the wind, and Yu Yao sat on his arm with a calm expression.

Talking behind someone's back is impolite, isn't it?

The people opposite stared at the man and woman in mid-air with either fear or rage, and were all stunned for a moment.

One of the young men had a short temper and was about to curse when the captain held him back tightly.

He looked up at Yu Yao and said, "Sorry, we didn't mean to."

The one who was killed was someone he had never gotten along with... He should actually thank the two people on the other side.

Yu Yao looked at him and suddenly said, "You smell strongly of zombies."

"what?"

Yu Yao had just tested Chi Heng because she smelled a very unpleasant odor.

They initially thought it was because Chi Heng had just killed a mutated beast and had picked up a bad smell.

Unexpectedly, the smell disappeared along with these people as they left.

"It's not the stench of blood from killing zombies, but the smell of zombies. Since you reminded me before, I'll remind you too: be careful of the people around you."

After saying that, she patted Chi Heng on the shoulder, indicating that he could leave.

The man exclaimed, "Excuse me, could you please explain more clearly?"

"Beware of the humanoid zombies around you."

The man was stunned.

Besides a few teammates, he was all alone!

Seeing his expression, Yu Yao became curious.

"Is the person you're looking for a man?"

"......no."

"Oh, I know."

It doesn't seem to be that zombie king, so let's just ignore it.

By the time Yu Yao finished speaking, they had already disappeared from mid-air.

The man snapped out of his daze and shouted into the air, "Thank you, my name is Chen Mu!"

He knew those two people could hear him.

The young man who had just been stopped by him looked at him with some confusion.

"Captain, why are you listening to her nonsense?"

Chen Mu frowned in deep thought.

"No... I don't think she has any reason to lie to me. Besides, she... is indeed very suspicious."

His other teammate also didn't quite believe his judgment.

"You mean Feng He? That girl is a bit strange sometimes, but she has a good personality and is so kind. How could she be a zombie?" He pointed to the headless corpse on the ground.

"It's more believable to say he's a zombie than to say Feng He is a zombie."

Several other people nodded.

Chen Mu's gaze darkened slightly as he looked at the headless corpse on the ground.

"If it were him, he would have transformed by now, right? Has he transformed?"

The others were stunned when they heard this.

Chen Mu then asked, "Have you ever seen Feng He eat?"

"That's all because of her..."

"Kindness? Giving us all the food? Or eating it herself in the kitchen or secretly munching on bread later? What do you think are the chances?"

Chen Mu's cold words left the others speechless.

Chen Mu touched the dagger at his waist and said in a deep voice, "Whether it's true or not, let her leave when we get back."

“But…” The young man who had been stopped from getting angry earlier still had some doubts.

Chen Mu glanced at him coldly.

“You can go with her too.”

The man quickly shut his mouth, not daring to say another word.

Unfortunately, Yu Yao didn't know that the so-called humanoid zombie was the wandering soul she had always wanted to kill.

Otherwise, she would insist on going over there to see what kind of body this guy had chosen this time!

......

After Chi Heng left with Yu Yao, he landed shortly after, changed into his mount, and headed towards Dongfang Jin's location.

They hadn't gone far when they ran into Ye Xuanmin and his group.

Yu Yao wasn't unaware of her whereabouts; rather, she didn't deliberately try to hide from her.

She didn't think she needed to avoid Ye Xuanmin.

As expected, Ye Xuanmin was injured. One arm hung limply at his side, while the other hand covered his blood-soaked waist, and his lips were pale.

The person supporting her was a young female soldier named Gu Yi.

Gu Yi recognized Yu Yao and exclaimed excitedly, "Little Fish! Please help me!"

However, Yu Yao merely glanced at them indifferently.

Leaning against Chi Heng's chest, he rode away on his mount, passing them without any intention of stopping.

Gu Yi froze for a moment, and was about to call out again when Ye Xuanmin suddenly grabbed her wrist and said in a deep voice, "Don't call out anymore, we broke up a long time ago."

"what?"

Ye Xuanmin didn't want them to criticize Yu Yao, so she gritted her teeth and said, "Have you forgotten Bo Ling?"

Gu Yi: "...Huh???"

Ye Xuanmin sighed, "Stop it. I've already hurt her deeply. It's already merciful that she didn't stop and stab me. Don't make things harder for her. Go now."

"But... what you..."

"It's not a big problem, let's go!"

"..."

"Let's go! I don't want to see her either! And I won't let her treat me!"

Gu Yi was stunned for a while before slowly replying, "...Then...okay."

After walking a few steps, another teammate of theirs, still puzzled, said, "The Little Fishman has always been good, how could you... You're so confused!!"

Ye Xuanmin got into too much trouble because of Bo Ling.

Putting aside Bo Ling's younger brother, who caused Ye Xuanmin so much trouble after returning to Kyoto.

Even her good reputation, built up over many years, has been largely ruined, and every now and then, there are disgruntled people who criticize her.

Xuanfeng's people had become somewhat acquainted with the original owner before the apocalypse, and they all knew her character.

Therefore, it is hard to imagine that Ye Xuanmin, who appears to have a good relationship with Yu Yao, would secretly harm her.

Ye Xuanmin paused, then gave a wry smile.

"Maybe it's because of... jealousy."

Ye Xuanmin could not understand the thoughts of that wandering soul, nor did he want to try to understand them.

"..."

Gu Yi paused, then sighed.

Remembering how intimate Yu Yao and Chi Heng were, she couldn't help but ask, "Are they... dating?"

Ye Xuanmin's eyes flickered slightly, and then he chuckled softly.

That's great. Chi Heng has both ability and good looks.

Although she was trapped in her consciousness and unable to get out, she could still see the outside world through her eyes.

In their brief interactions, it was easy to see that Chi Heng treated Yu Yao differently.

Despite being such a cold and aloof person, his gaze always fell on the young girl, carrying a tenderness that he himself was unaware of.

Yao Yao will definitely be happy with him.
