"When did I find a new lover?" Xiang Han frowned, not understanding Gu Ming's thought process. Since there was no love, wouldn't staying together breed disgust?
Gu Ming hehe-ed, "Was it the woman squatting beside you just now, or Gu Meng?"
Gu Meng got a fright. "Sis, I didn't…"
"You, shut up!" Gu Ming glared at her murderously.
The melon-eating party also received a shock. So this lad actually fooled around with both sisters? Awesome! And there was also Lele… when did that happen?
Xu Lele waved a hand, "It has nothing to do with me. If you want the truth, he's usually closer to Captain Xu."
Xu Yan Ze's face turned green and he began to emit an icy aura. No one dared to look at him, telling Xu Lele, "We don't believe it. If you dare, don't help him take care of his melon."
"Can you not talk nonsense?" Xiang Han was growing angry. Gu Ming was enough since it was really his fault in the last world, but it was too much to drag Xu Lele in. What did this mess have to do with the lady?
He immediately grabbed Gu Ming, wanting to pull her aside to continue their conversation but Cheng Hai stopped them coldly. "Want to hit her after she refused to break up? Bro, don't make us despise you."
"What has it got to do with you?" Xiang Han was infuriated. When did he want to hit her?
Anger flitted through Cheng Hai's eyes, but he remembered that 'Wu Han' was still Gu Ming's boyfriend. It wasn't his place as an outsider to get in the way of a couple's fight.
Yet, Gu Ming had to fan the flames. "He's my sworn brother, why shouldn't he care?"
Xiang Han went speechless and finally nodded. "Fine, since that's the case, I'll speak. Back when we were in City X, the reason why I went missing and was abandoned by the team is something you are clear of. Although I don't know why you did so, you must obviously hate me. Since that's the case, is there a need for us to be together?"
Father Gu heard this and his expression turned ugly. "Xiao Ming, what's going on?"
In her past life, Father Gu died a few days earlier, during a zombie attack. After her rebirth, she changed his fate but it was precisely because of this that she brought more trouble to herself.
This was because the original host helped the Gu family out many times while they were escaping. In Father Gu's eyes, this son-in-law was pretty good.
And that was why Gu Ming couldn't act too cold and aloof after abandoning the host, since the day before her rebirth, the feelings between the two were still harmonious after exchanging wedding rings. The things in her past life hadn't yet happened so it would be difficult for Father Gu to accept whatever reasons she gave him.
Gu Ming paled and struggled to reply, "Just admit it if you have a new lover. Why do you have to slander me?"
Xiang Han's eyes widened. He suddenly had new-found respect for the Gu Ming who could lie so blatantly. That's a talent, ah.
He pulled her once more and this time, Cheng Hai didn't stop them. After coming to a secluded corner, Xiang Han released her expressionlessly. "Gu Ming, no matter why you hate me, isn't the matter at City X enough? If it weren't for me encountering this party, I would have died. I didn't even ask for the supplies, car, and rings that we got in the last two years. Can't we part without hard feelings?"
Gu Ming gritted her teeth with red eyes.
Why should they part without hard feelings? She suffered so much in her last life because of him and Gu Meng. Why couldn't she take revenge?
"You're speaking like a dignified person, but actually, you just want to break up so you can move on to your next lover, right? Fine, I'll let you." She laughed coldly and took two steps back before turning around. "I will return the car to you, but the rings were something I wanted to buy. I only borrowed your money and it's not something you'd need anyway. I'll just give you some supplies in compensation."
When she said this, her voice deliberately grew louder to allow Cheng Hai and Father Gu to hear it. Father Gu tried to stop her, "What's wrong? You guys really broke up?"
Weren't they happily eating together just a few days ago, and even exchanged wedding rings? In his eyes, they were already married since there was no way to register in the apocalypse. Could they still host a banquet?
Gu Ming answered coldly, "He's dead set on breaking up. I'm not that cheap to stick to him shamelessly."
Cheng Hai looked deeply at Xiang Han, feeling this person's character was too lacking. He even wanted his ex-girlfriend to return their stuff when breaking up. Luckily Gu Ming was smart and got rid of this scum early.
Xiang Han sighed deeply, having finally gotten rid of the female lead. He quickly went back to continue eating his melon.
When he walked past Father Gu, he saw the latter hesitate and said to him, "Put aside those supplies and talk to Gu Ming."
In Xiang Han's opinion, the female lead had just been reborn with the events of her past life fresh in her mind. There was no need to argue about her viciousness and extreme personality. Moreover, those things didn't belong to him and the original host had indeed let her down. He'd just give it to them.
When he went back to eating melons with a heavy heart, Xu Lele gave him a thumbs up and praised, "Bro Han, you're really ostentatious. In times like these, you are still able to give the other person so many things when breaking up."
Especially food. How admirable!
Xu Yan Ze laughed coldly, "No need to give him any dry food from now on." He then went on to instruct the others, "Those who've finished, pack up and prepare to leave."
Xiang Han ignored him and circled around Xu Lele before exclaiming, "Where's my melon?"
"Ah, they've distributed it…"
In an instant, his anger skyrocketed, causing Xu Yan Ze to laugh: Heh, I'm the one who told them to distribute it. So what? The food you eat and the car you sat on belongs to Laozi. In the end, you had your own car and food, but gave it all to your ex-lover!
Xiang Han saw his expression and tactfully decided to keep silent.
Feeling guilty, Xu Lele handed over a pack of dry biscuits she had secretly stashed away. "Hurry up and eat."
Xiang Han quickly nodded and found it difficult to choke it down so he wanted some ice water. However, he discovered all the cups had already been put away.
Just as he was in a dilemma, a soft voice came from behind. "Brother-in-law, this is for you."
When Xu Yan Ze saw Gu Meng, he gave a cold humph.
Xiang Han's entire body stiffened. He took a deep breath before turning around with a smile. "Thanks, but no need. Also, I've broken up with your sister, no need to call me brother-in-law."
"It was dad who told me to bring it over." Gu Meng smiled and put the cup aside before turning around to leave.
Xiang Han glanced at Father Gu and saw him nod. After thinking, he finally recalled this cup that belonged to the original host and thus, accepted it.
Xu Yan Ze's face darkened further once he saw this.
When Xiang Han got onto the car, Xu Yan Ze sat in the passenger seat with his eyes closed. "Tan Wei, you drive."
Xiang Han froze and he instinctively looked at Tan Wei.
Tan Wei 'ah'ed and looked between the two for a moment. However, having eaten Xiang Han's melon, he ultimately hesitated, "Captain, my legs are weak…"
"Xu Lele." Xu Yan Ze began to call names.
Xu Lele was guilty. "Captain, my skills are too terrible."
No one knew when Xu Yan Ze's temper became weird. Xiang Han believed he could no longer indulge him, thus he hardened his heart and directly sat in, slamming the door behind him.
Xu Yan Ze opened his eyes and stared at him for a long time before sneering, "Don't you have your own car?"
"Ah, that…"
"Hehe, Young Master, you're really ostentatious." Xu Yan Ze also didn't know why he couldn't resist jabbing at him with those words.
With a face of utter seriousness, Xiang Han told him, "It should be Second Young Master. I have an older brother."
"…" Who the hell asked about your position in the family?
"Speaking of which, does Captain Xu have any brothers?" Xiang Han tried to ease their relationship.
In his heart, Xu Yan Ze believed that this person was trying to find out about him once more. Why wouldn't he drop such evil intentions?
The corners of his lips rose but once he recalled how this lad had just broken up and even accepted his ex-girlfriend's younger sister's cup, his face darkened once more. "Hehe."
He even accepted other people's cup, yet still had the guts to find out about him? Did he even know the meaning of having someone from the opposite gender give him a cup?
Xu Yan Ze felt incredibly stifled, only wanting to open up the window to breathe better.
But after glancing out for a short period of time, he began to frown.
Xiang Han noticed his incongruent expression and asked, "What's wrong?"
The sky was gradually being covered by a blanket of darkness. Xu Yan Ze suddenly picked up his binoculars and his expression sank.
Xiang Han saw that he wasn't speaking and could only ask Big A, [Did something happen?]
[Let me see.] Big A was also unclear, so he could only let the System check it out.
Before their answer came, Xu Yan Ze already instructed him, "Increase speed and take the next exit to City A."
"Did something happen?" Someone in the back asked.
Xu Yan Ze told him with a frown, "If I'm not wrong, that dark part of the sky is probably filled with zombie birds or mutated birds."
"What?" The others began to grow anxious.
Xiang Han was also shocked. If it were zombie birds, they would rush over in a dense pack. No matter how sturdy their car was, it would be no use.
Xu Yan Ze sighed, "Whether it is or not, it's better to find somewhere safe to hide first."
As the expanse of darkness in the sky grew, the hearts of the people grew heavier. They finally lost hope when they saw individual black spots.
Xu Lele was anxious, "It really is zombie birds. And it's not just a few."
A pack like this could easily destroy a medium-sized base. If they didn't rush to a safe spot in time, their team would be done for.
Xiang Han quickly stepped down on the accelerator. When they neared a tollbooth, the zombies suddenly grew numerous.
Since they had no means of cleaning up, the car could only crush them as it sped towards the city. The iron sheet wrapped around the car's head soon deformed, but the car behind them had a much easier time.
When they finally reached the city, Xu Yan Ze used a tablet to locate a nearest shelter but Xiang Han had already found an air-raid shelter with the least zombies according to the system.
The car came to a stop. Xu Yan Ze was still in shock when Xiang Han threw him a smile as he got off. Using a gun, he settled the rest of the approaching zombies.
Xu Yan Ze froze. He felt that there were some times when this rich second-generation was rather… cute.
But his smile died once he saw the other two cars that had followed behind them. This lad provoked too many flowers. It was better to forget about him.
Xiang Han wasn't surprised when he saw the female lead's team. It wouldn't be strange for their team to grow suspicious once they saw them abruptly changing directions.
