After quickly wearing the second male lead who was rejected

Chapter 109: Leaving Things Behind (8)

A tense atmosphere quietly spread.

There was a hint of nervousness on Tang Shuyi's face. She looked at Ying Mingxi. Du Wen would still listen to what she said.

Gu Chang smiled slightly, not caring about the tense situation at all, "Okay, I believe you are a person of integrity."

Ying Mingxi pursed her lips and said anxiously, "Brother Du, at least leave some food for them. There are zombies everywhere outside. They won't be able to survive without food."

"Mingxi, I know what to do about this. Stop talking." Du Wen insisted on his own ideas. He looked at Nie Fuyong provocatively and said, "Leave the things behind."

Ying Mingxi couldn't understand why Du Wen, who was always easy to talk to, became so uncharacteristic after meeting Gu Chang.

Gu Chang put his backpack and Miao Dao on the ground, smiling, and left the farmhouse with Nie Fuyong.

It was unwise to confront Du Wen and his group. Not only were they outnumbered, but more importantly, they had guns in their hands.

The younger brother next to him picked up the backpack and the Miao Dao, and handed the Miao Dao to Du Wen.

Du Wen took the Miao Dao, grasped the handle and pulled it out. The blade had smooth curves and was engraved with intricate patterns. It was obvious at a glance that it was not an ordinary item.

Gu Chang is definitely not a simple person as he can have such a thing.

And the man beside him...

Although there is strength in numbers in the end times, he just couldn't stand Gu Chang's nonchalant look, as if he had control of the overall situation.

In fact, even without their rescue, Gu Chang and Nie Fuyong could have escaped from the zombie group.

This fine Miao Dao is the best weapon.

Du Wen raised his hand and lightly touched the blade with his fingertips. The next second, a cut was made on his fingertips.

He became even more convinced that Gu Chang's background was not simple.

The two people who came out from the other side did not go far. They were in a dense forest.

"How many bullets are there in your pistol?" Gu Chang leaned against the tree trunk and asked Nie Fuyong in a light tone.

Nie Fuyong's eyes were deep, "Four."

"That's enough." Gu Chang took out the uneaten compressed biscuits from his trouser pocket. "It's almost evening, just eat something." He gave half to Nie Fuyong.

Du Wen does things without leaving any bottom line, so I think he should be prepared for them to come back.

"Ho ho-ho—" The cry of zombies suddenly sounded behind him, and Nie Fuyong chopped at them with a military shovel in his hand with an expressionless face.

The zombie's body was unexpectedly severed in half. With only the upper half remaining, the zombie was still struggling to crawl towards Nie Fuyong. The next second, the shovel chopped off its head. Nie Fuyong kicked the zombie's body further away.

Night came quickly, and soon it began to drizzle.

In the room, Ying Mingxi was wiping her arms with a towel. She was only wearing a white vest and shorts.

Tang Shuyi went outside to help count the supplies, and now she was the only one in the room.

It was a small bedroom, black mold still growing on the white walls. When it rained, the damp smell, mixed with the stench of decaying bodies outside, drifted in through the window. Ying Mingxi wrung out a towel, draped it on a nearby coat rack, and walked to the window to close it.

There was a hint of worry in her eyes. Gu Chang and the others had no food, and there was no place to shelter from the rain nearby.

Ying Mingxi recalled how Lin Yueting had taken such good care of her when she left City D. She decided to go and help them, hoping they wouldn't go too far.

If it hadn't rained tonight, Ying Mingxi wouldn't have made up his mind to do this.

After she put on her coat and pants, zipped up her coat, and stuffed all the edibles into her small bag, Ying Mingxi was about to go out.

Du Wen's voice suddenly rang out from outside the door, "Mingxi, you're still awake, right? I have something to tell you."

Ying Mingxi was startled. She stuffed the small bag into the quilt and then went to open the door.

"Brother Du, what do you want to talk to me about?" As soon as Ying Mingxi opened the door, he smelled the smell of alcohol on Du Wen.

He held a flashlight and turned it to the lowest setting. The faint light shone on Du Wen, illuminating his handsome face.

"I was impulsive about what happened during the day." Du Wen's tone softened significantly.

Ying Mingxi stood at the door, her pretty eyebrows slightly frowned, "Brother Du, this matter is over." If Du Wen continued to block her here, how could she go to find Gu Chang and the others?

"I know Lin Yueting risked his life to save you, and he's your benefactor." But Du Wen seemed genuinely drunk. He raised his arm and leaned it against the door frame, his eyes lowered as he looked at the beautiful Ying Mingxi. "But I'm just jealous of how much he means to you."

Ying Mingxi was stunned. She looked up and met Du Wen's dark eyes. "Brother Du... Yue Ting and I are just friends. And if you hadn't happened to be passing through S City, Shuyi and I probably wouldn't be alive today."

"Brother Du, you are drunk. Let me help you go back and rest." Ying Mingxi stretched out his hand to support Du Wen.

Du Wen's eyes darkened, and he fell on Ying Mingxi, resting his head on her shoulder, his lips vaguely touching Ying Mingxi's collarbone, "Am I drunk? I'm not drunk."

The weight of an adult man was pressing on her, and Ying Mingxi felt that Du Wen was really heavy.

She tried to take a few steps, but most of Du Wen's body was pressed on her, and she couldn't move at all.

Ying Mingxi looked outside, hoping someone would come to help her.

But the surroundings were eerily quiet. Apart from the sound of dripping rain, no one appeared.

Du Wen seemed to be more awake. He said in a vague voice, "Mingxi, why am I here?"

Ying Mingxi reluctantly took advantage of this opportunity and brought him to the bedside.

But when Du Wen fell on the bed, his arms were hooked around Ying Mingxi's waist, causing Ying Mingxi to fall on him as well.

Ying Mingxi, "..."

Ying Mingxi breathed a sigh of relief when he finally lifted the heavy arm.

Looking at the sleeping Du Wen, her face looked a little ugly.

There is no doubt that Du Wen likes her, but Du Wen refuses any man other than himself to approach her.

This made Ying Mingxi very distressed, as love was not worth mentioning in the apocalypse.

She had thought she could settle down in the base after arriving in F City, but she hadn't expected F City to have fallen and was filled with zombies. Furthermore, someone had blown up the bridge, and she couldn't return the same way, so she had to continue north.

It was because of her that Gu Chang was targeted by Du Wen.

In fact, under Du Wen's protection, she didn't have to worry about food and safety. She had some feelings for Du Wen, but it didn't rise to the level of love.

Now that this has happened, her feelings towards Du Wen have become complicated.

Ying Mingxi stared at Du Wen's face. She didn't notice that there was a person standing quietly outside the door, looking at her.

As if feeling the strong gaze behind him, Ying Mingxi turned around suddenly.

There was no one outside the door.

After Ying Mingxi took a few deep breaths, she asked tentatively, "Brother Du? Brother Du?"

Du Wen was sleeping very soundly and it looked like he wouldn't wake up for a while.

Ying Mingxi took out the small bag from under the quilt, picked up the baseball cap on the coat rack, walked out of the room quietly and closed the door.

"Are you...going out?" Tang Shuyi walked in from outside. She was holding a flashlight, her wet hair stuck to her face, and there was an inexplicable look in her eyes.

As for Tang Shuyi, Ying Mingxi trusts this friend.

"I want to find Yue Ting and bring him some food." Ying Mingxi walked up to Tang Shuyi and said in a low voice.

Tang Shuyi widened her eyes and exclaimed in a low voice, "Are you crazy?" Although the rain would disrupt the zombies' hearing, it was dark at night and there was a woods outside the farmhouse. If they got lost in it, they would be doomed.

"I will come back." Ying Mingxi held Tang Shuyi's hands with both hands, "Please help me keep this secret, Shuyi."

Tang Shuyi pursed her lips, lowered her eyelids, and said helplessly: "Okay, just this once, go quickly and come back quickly."

"Thank you Shuyi. By the way, Du Wen fell asleep in our room. You can find another room to sleep in." After Ying Mingxi finished giving the instructions, he left in a hurry.

Tang Shuyi stayed where she was, her gaze shifting to the tightly closed door.

After a moment, she walked over and opened the door. When she saw Du Wen sitting on the bed, she said calmly, "Mingxi... has gone out."

Du Wen stood up and walked in front of Tang Shuyi. His deep voice rang out, "You did a great job."
