Chu Han sat on the ground and did not stretch out his hand; he just looked at her with a teasing expression, it was like he was waiting for a good play. His gaze was as sharp as a blade penetrating her heart.
Despair had taken over Shangguan Yuxin, she looked at Chu Han and the ax in his hand, from which black blood was dripping; it was shocking.
At that moment, she thought of her father wearing his military uniform and treating her like any other soldier when she was young. He had sent her to the military when she was five years old and spent more than ten years of her life there. Chu Han had the same expression as her father before he had sent her to join the military!
Although she had spent several years in the military, she retained her beautiful appearance; she exuded a unique alluring aura. Not to mention, she was really talented in the medical field.
She had both a woman’s tenderness and a soldier’s iron will.
All those achievements were the source of her pride, but Chu Han shattered them. Looking at him she thought about her father, Shangguan Rong. He was a man of few words and had always a hidden agenda. She came to a sudden understanding why Chu Han annoyed her that much; he was the same as her father.
She felt disgusted with her father and even hated him since she never enjoyed an ordinary girl’s life. She was forced to follow the soldier’s path and serve the people as a doctor.
Hey! It sounded really silly!
At that moment, Shangguan Yuxin cried and a phrase her father had taught her came to her mind, "Be a wolf instead of a dog." That was the day she finally understood its true meaning- wolves wouldn’t bark, they would only roar while they were hunting or mating.
Chu Han was like a wolf and a man of few words. Every time he’d say something it would carry a strong or implicit meaning. He was looking and enjoying his prey struggling.
Her heart felt heavy because she had not become a wolf, instead, she had met one.
While the two people were silent-
‘Clash!’
Suddenly the rope was shaky and successive cutting sounds followed. Chu Han could not help raising his head and find the girl, Li Shirong, cutting the rope with huge scissors.
"Bad guy! I will kill you all!" The girl’s voice was pure but her words sounded terrible.
The rope was shaky and Shangguan Yuxin’s hand almost loosened its grip on it. She felt her hand hurting and beads of sweat from her forehead soaked her clothes. She couldn’t help but look down the dark shaft, it was ten floors deep.
Chu Han did not move, he neither helped Shangguan Yuxin nor tried to stop Li Shirong. He just watched the two females struggling.
Shangguan Yuxin raised her head and looked at Chu Han’s face; it was still calm.
He would not save her.
Shangguan Yuxin realized from that expression that she was going to die.
‘Clash!’
Suddenly, Shagnguan Yuxin loosened her hand, she would the one choosing how to die instead of waiting for it!
‘Clash!’
Shagnguan Yuxin closed her eyes feeling the gravity pulling her rapidly, but there was still a yearning feeling for life. At that moment, a voice sounded in her ears, "Don’t be afraid. I will help you."
Looking at Shangguan Yuxin who was about to descend to her death, the silent Chu Han stretched out his hand and dragged her out. His arm was really powerful so it was easy to pull her.
Shangguan Yuxin was shocked and stared at the dark shaft; she nearly died. How could Chu Han have pulled her out?
She raised her head and looked at the emotionless Chu Han, she had mixed feelings; what she had gone through was like an illusion!
‘Bang!’
Li Shirong stared coldly at the two of them and shouted angrily, "Just you wait! I’m going to find my sister!"
The little girl left once again after the darkness’ cover.
Chu Han peeked at the girl and just ignored her. He looked at the doctor with intriguing eyes.
Shangguan Yuxin could not help asking, "Why?"
Why did he save her?
Shangguan Yuxin knew that Chu Han understood her question, although he did not answer. His thinking process and shrewdness were not something a twenty-years-old boy should possess; he was more like an old cunning fox.
Shangguan Yuxin knew that Chu Han had seen through her scheme but he still saved her. She was really perplexed.
"I have no reason to kill you." Chu Han said only that and left. However, she didn’t see the complicated expression on his face.
"It’s her! Her name is Shangguan Yuxin!" Chu Han thought.
In his previous life, on July 17, 2020, the apocalypse’s fifth year, it was a brutal period filled with despair.
At that time, Chu Han was lying on a wooden bed, barely conscious; the only thing that kept him from losing consciousness was the thought of being called as bast*rd. In those five years, he was struggling to survive and no one would give him a helping hand since he was almost dead. In fact, everyone wanted him dead. They would gladly insert a knife in his heart after he was dead; even some refugee teams wanted to kill him. He had the ability to steal medicine from any base.
The bast*rd didn’t have the right to live!
But there was a female doctor who had decided to help him, "Don’t be afraid. I will help you."
She saved his life and then disappeared. He did not remember the doctor’s face and only her pendant was etched in his memory; its purple color was really special and one could not forget it easily.
If Chu Han hadn’t seen her pendant, she would be dead. Just her scheme to kill him using her medical knowledge was enough to let her die.
However, Chu Han could not let her die since he owed her his life.
Looking Chu Han’s shadow leaving her behind, Shangguan Yuxin threw the tranquilizers on a wall and they were smashed.
"F*ck the apocalypse!"
"F*ck the scheme!"
"Scr*w you, Shangguan Rong!"
