The blood-red sun slowly sank, and the convoy rumbled in a meandering aisle, because they were in the forest, the number of zombies were dropping. They occasionally passed a small village and saw two or three wandering by the roadside, when they heard the engine they'd howl and give chase, but the soldiers on the trucks quickly cleaned them up.
Because they'd collected a large number of munitions, everyone was very happy, they gathered together to chat, relaxed. Only Lei Chuan's car atmosphere was a bit dull.
Zhao Ling Feng spread his legs, his posture very leisurely, he looked out at the scenery outside the window, and occasionally glanced at Guo Zerui's white face, and smiled an enigmatical smile.
Guo Zerui suppressed the desire to punch him and guiltily opened, "Boss, I was wrong to do that."
"Keep your voice down." Lei Chuan's voice was extremely low, he looked down at the doctor sleeping soundly on his shoulder, he didn't show signs of waking up, so he felt relieved. To sleep so soundly by his side, anyone could see that the doctor had completely put down his alert.
"Boss, I was wrong. I didn't listen to you." If he'd followed the boss' instructions and used the doctor's password, he wouldn't have almost made his brothers fall into despair.
"You're not the only one who made mistakes. From now on, the doctor is our companion, I trust him, and I hope you can trust him as much as you trust me. Can you do that?" Lei Chuan looked back and stared sternly at his brothers.
Guo Zerui was silent for a moment, his expression a little bitter. In the boss' heart, the doctor's position was far above them, right? No matter where he went, he had to take the doctor with him, he clearly wanted to chain themselves together. That treasuring attitude was not as simple as treating an ordinary companion.
Before rebirth, what did the doctor and the boss get up to? Guo Zerui's curiosity was scratching his heart, and he couldn't stop his jealousy. He had unspeakable feelings for his boss for a long time, but he'd thought that his boss was a straight man, so he chose patience. But now he had front row seats to see him treat the doctor tenderly, there was even a bit of ambiguousness.
The sun sank completely into the horizon, and the convoy slowly docked near a small village. The village's zombies had long left for greener pastures, they occasionally met one or two that hadn't eaten human flesh for a long time and hadn't evolved to use abilities, so a single shot was enough to put them down. The soldiers made a lap around the village to make sure there were no survivors, and chose a few close bungalows to camp.
There were few zombies in the mountains, but there were many mutant beasts and plants, and many were often very tricky to deal with. In order to reduce the unnecessary casualties, the soldiers covered the windows with thick tarpaulins, to prevent light from leaking out and alerting the beasts on the mountains.
In the last days, variation was not only found in animals, plants and humans, but also the weather. During the day, the sun's sinister rays could bake flesh, but the night would quickly become cold, and occasionally, the temperature would drop to below zero.
The soldiers found a few braziers for heat, and laid down the sleeping bags, food, and winter coats.
Zhou Yun Sheng had been living in the laboratory, in order to ensure a certain degree of uniform conditions, the central air conditioning was well balanced to guarantee neither hot nor cold. But in this life, he was finally experiencing the true cruelty of the Apocalypse.
He huddled into the army coat and moved closer to the brazier, almost wishing he could be roasted along with the food. His damaged soul brought him physical weakness, so his cold tolerance was very low.
"Doctor, be careful not to burn your clothes." Zhao Ling Feng pulled him away after seeing him tilting into the brazier.
Zhou Yun Sheng reluctantly retreated a little, slightly shivering.
"Doctor, come to me." Lei Chuan patted the cushion by his side.
Zhou Yun Sheng picked up a stick and poked the fire, ignoring him.
Lei Chuan shook his head and chuckled. The doctor has always been a man of little words, disregarding very unfamiliar people, the words could even be read on his face – I'm not listening, I'm not seeing, it looked unexpectedly adorable and amusing. Especially when he took off his glasses, revealing a pair of misty, black gem-like pupils, Lei Chuan could feel his heart melting.
The doctor is still alive, how satisfying.
He smiled and walked to the doctor's side, pulled off the doctor's army coat and opened his own coat. He sat behind him, stretched out his long legs and two iron pincer arms, and pocketed the doctor into his arms, and wrapping him tightly.
A strong male atmosphere filled his nose, making Zhou Yun Sheng feel very uneasy. He wanted to break free of Lei Chuan's embrace, but suddenly felt a warmth spread into his whole body, and couldn't help but let out a comfortable groan.
He put down the hand that was about to push Lei Chuan away and snuggled deeper into his embrace. Fire ability was very useful, there was no fear of cold or the heat.
Lei Chuan gripped his thin waist, pressed him in up into his chest, then rested his chin on top of his shoulder with a contented smile. In the last life, when the doctor was lying on the sink, gasping and vomiting, he'd tried to pat him on the back and embrace him from behind, to give him a little warmth or support, but he couldn't touch him, he was helpless.
The feeling of powerlessness made him hate himself and the whole world. But now, he could finally feel the doctor's body temperature and tightly wrap him in his arms, the feeling of his soul being filled couldn't be described in words.
He smiled and couldn't help but sigh in happiness, gently stroking the doctor's messy hair.
Zhou Yun Sheng comfortably narrowed his eyes, although he'd just woken up, he was already feeling sleepy.
"Eat something, then sleep." Lei Chuan brushed the doctor's thick eyelashes with his fingertips and gave him a faint electric shock, gently surprising him awake. While he was blinking away his sleep, Guo Zerui carried a few lunch boxes into the house and saw the two of them cuddling, his face paled for a moment.
"Dinner." He immediately handed the lunch box to the doctor to eat, so he would leave his boss' arms as soon as possible.
"Thank you." Zhou Yun Sheng took the lunch box but was reluctant to leave his human self-heating sleeping bag, he stretched out his chop sticks to take small bites of rice, like a baby kangaroo feeding in its mother kangaroo's pocket.
Lei Chuan looked down at him and smiled an indulgent smile. The longer he got along with the doctor, the more he was attracted by his pure and straightforward temperament.
Zhao Ling Feng immediately loyally took the chopsticks to feed the doctor. This kind of job was part of his work roster in the last life, he was a skilled worker.
Lei Chuan glanced at him with dull eyes, but eventually restrained his impulse to kick him away.
The soldiers focused on their rice, casting a strange look to the three from time to time. Boss and Zhao Ling Feng, why do they take care of the doctor like he is a three-year-old child? However, some scientists were high functioning idiots, awesome in their field of expertise, but idiotic in society, they could understand a little.
Guo Zerui couldn't even taste the food in his mouth, seeing the boss ignoring his own lunch box, he couldn't help but say, "Doctor, come out first, our boss has not eaten yet, his food is almost frozen."
Zhou Yun Sheng paused, then immediately lifted Lei Chuan's army's coat. Zhao Ling Feng had already consciously opened his own military coat, waiting for the doctor to come into his coat to warm up. His loyal dog consciousness was on point.
Lei Chuan really couldn't wait to fry him, a faint layer of purple emerge on his palm, but he was afraid of injuring the doctor and barely held back. Sooner or later, he'd have to abandon Zhao Ling Feng in a forest somewhere. Since the last life, after seeing the man closely following the doctor and casually touching the doctor anytime he wanted, he'd run out of tolerance.
"If you want to eat this lunchbox, take it, I'll eat the biscuits." He clasped the doctor's waist tightly in one hand, and rummaged in his backpack with the other, he found a box of compressed biscuits and handed it to the doctor.
"Help me open it."
Lei Chuan had fire ability, the equivalent of a human heat lamp, staying in his arms was certainly more comfortable than staying in Zhao Ling Feng's arms, so Zhou Yun Sheng stayed put, opened the biscuit can, and held it up.
Lei Chuan's hand still held the doctor, and he used his other hand to eat the biscuits, stuffing one into the doctor's mouth from time to time. Seeing his cute full cheeks look, he couldn't help but cheerfully smile, their intimacy and tender warmth raised some eyebrows.
The soldiers were stunned, those in the know quietly pinched Guo Zerui's waist, telling him to hurry, don't let the boss be snatched by an outsider.
Zhou Yun Sheng ate his lunch box and ended up eating half the box of biscuits, his empty stomach was finally full, and his body was lying on a warm flesh bag, very comfortable.
Even in the last days, those with strength and support could still live a comfortable life, no wonder so many people were clamoring to hold onto a gold thigh. He felt drowsiness creeping in, and tilted his head to sleep.
Zhao Ling Feng was afraid the doctor would wake up with a stiff neck tomorrow and quickly opened a thick sleeping bag, and indicated to Lei Chuan to put him in.
"Not yet, I'll put him down when I'm going to sleep. He hasn't fallen asleep for long, don't toss him around." Lei Chuan lowered his voice and refused. He was tired of Zhao Ling Feng this mother-in-law, was following for two lifetimes not enough? You still want to steal him away?
Zhao Ling Feng was also tired of having to bow to Lei Chuan, he wanted to understand what scheme he was planning to suddenly be so gracious to the doctor. He overbearingly treated the doctor like his personal item. Strictly speaking, the doctor and Lei Chuan should only have hatred between them, no kindnesses.
But the doctor already knew his special physique and had made up his mind to follow him, he probably couldn't persuade him to leave. The doctor had such a personality, even if he knew there was a fire at the bottom of the pit, as long as he wanted something in there, he would unhesitantly jump in.
He was really too stubborn.
Zhao Ling Feng shook his head in distress.
The group of people were afraid the clamor would disturb the doctor's rest, so they took out playing cards and silently played poker, the technician soldier that had the doctor's spider button was manipulating the spider to scurry around the house, he was very happy with his new toy.
Only Guo Zerui's face was gloomy, he stared at the fire, his thoughts unknown.
Half an hour later, after making sure the doctor was deep asleep, Lei Chuan raised his hand and gently brushed aside his upturned hair, then carefully laid him into the two-person sleeping bag. Zhao Ling Feng lent a helping hand, afraid that the doctor would feel cold, he asked people for two hot water bags and went out to fill them.
Lei Chuan took off his military coat and was preparing to get into the sleeping bag to hold the doctor to sleep. In his last life, when the doctor was fast asleep, he would lie down next to him, staring at his pale face for hours, imagining what it would be like to talk to the doctor daily and hold him in his sleep.
This time, he wanted to do everything he couldn't achieve in his last life. He wanted to keep the doctor alive, with a healthy body, rosy cheeks, and bright, fresh eyes.
With that in mind, he smiled contentedly.
"Boss, I have something to tell you, let's go out." Guo Zerui grabbed his an arm, he looked very serious.
Lei Chuan placed his coat over the sleeping bag to fill in any gaps, then went out with him. The two walked to an area outside of the house where they could defend from attacks, and checked the surrounding environment to determine if there was no danger before talking.
"What cannot be said tomorrow?"
"I can't wait any longer. Boss, what's with your attitude change with Dr. Bai? He is your enemy, ever since the last life, so why are you serving him like a servant? Or, boss, are you paralyzing him, winning him over, but plan to take your revenge on him after he develops the vaccine? Is that it?" His voice actually had a glimmer of hope.
Lei Chuan was silent for a long time, but a heavy pressure surged in the air, like a mad beast's heavy breathing, causing Guo Zerui to be startled at the sound. Before Guo Zerui could react, a hard blow landed on his abdomen, immediately making him vomit a mouthful blood.
A fireball was thrown in, burning the blood on the ground to ashes, the leaping flames reflected Lei Chuan's extremely ferocious expression.
