They finally formulated a plan.
There was an off-road vehicle belonging to Zhou Yu'an in the hospital's B1 parking garage. They planned to fight their way to the elevator first thing tomorrow morning as soon as it was light.
Taking the elevator down to B1.
The risk of this plan was that once the basement doors opened, the number of zombies would be uncontrollable.
However, compared to fighting their way down the stairs floor by floor, it would be much faster.
Yan Qingdu agreed.
Zhou Yu'an glanced at him and suddenly said,
"Since we are all in the same boat now, what is your special ability?"
"Can you tell us the truth?"
Yan Qingdu curled his lips and said in a natural tone, "Mechanical enhancement."
"What does that mean?"
Yan Qingdu explained,
"Any object modified by my ability will turn into a gun, although the number of bullets is limited."
"And the cooldown time for the skill is twelve hours."
Hearing this, Zhou Yu'an's gaze swept over the two girls not far away, and he said straightforwardly,
"If you have any extra guns on you, give them to the girls for self-defense."
Gu Man had sharp ears. Hearing this, she immediately rushed over to Yan Qingdu and stretched out her hand expectantly.
"Senior Yan, give the gun to me."
"I've shot targets at a real-fire training camp before, and my aim is pretty good. With a gun, I won't need your protection."
"As for her..."
Gu Man looked at Chu Liuyue beside her with a look of disgust and said,
"She looks like she wouldn't even dare to step on an ant."
"Giving a gun to her would be a total waste!!!"
Chu Liuyue cast a sidelong glance at Gu Man.
She looked up at Yan Qingdu.
"Do you think so too?"
Meeting those beautiful almond eyes, how could Yan Qingdu dare to say no to this little miss?
Just as he was about to agree, he caught sight of Zhou Yu'an from the corner of his eye, and an idea suddenly came to his mind.
He patted Zhou Yu'an's shoulder with a wicked smile and said slowly,
"I do have one extra handgun right now."
"Look here, one is your arranged marriage partner, and the other is your patient."
"As for who to give it to, why don't we let Dr. Zhou decide?"
Two pairs of eyes simultaneously fell on Zhou Yu'an.
Chu Liuyue's gaze was earnest.
Gu Man's eyes held a hidden threat, as if saying, if you don't protect me, you're dead meat once we get out of here.
Zhou Yu'an pursed his lips.
A trace of conflict flashed across his gentle face.
Finally, he spoke:
"Give the gun to Gu Man."
As his voice fell.
An arrogant and triumphant smile appeared on Gu Man's face.
She sneered and whispered to Chu Liuyue beside her, "Now you see what you're really worth, don't you?"
Chu Liuyue slightly lowered her head.
Without saying a word, she quickly walked past him and left.
Hearing hurried footsteps behind her, Chu Liuyue walked even faster. The man in the white coat behind her also quickened his pace.
Finally, at the corner of the corridor, he reached out his long arm.
And stopped her.
Chu Liuyue slowly raised her head, wearing an impeccable smile on her lips.
Her tone was calm.
She enunciated each word clearly, "Dr. Zhou, is there something you need?"
Zhou Yu'an's body stiffened slightly.
Had he heard wrong?
She called him Dr. Zhou.
"If there's nothing else, please step aside. I need to use the restroom."
Just as Chu Liuyue reached out to push the man away, her wrist was suddenly grabbed.
Her gaze naturally fell on his hand.
Her eyes held an unclear meaning, and the corners of her lips twitched slightly, as if saying: As a doctor, it's not appropriate for you to stop a patient like this, is it?
Zhou Yu'an quickly withdrew his hand as if he had been burned.
He spoke:
"Chu..." He paused, then corrected himself, "Liuyue, listen to me explain."
"Explain?" She raised an eyebrow.
"I didn't give the gun to Gu Man because... it's just that her identity is special. I can't let her die here," Zhou Yu'an said in a low voice.
Seeing that Chu Liuyue's expression remained cold.
He explained, "Gu Man's father is the director of the Jiang City Police Department, and her uncle is the governor of Sunan Province. The Gu family has massive influence."
"Taking her with us gives us a glimmer of hope for survival."
Chu Liuyue had investigated the Gu family; they were indeed immensely powerful.
That was why Gu Man could act so arrogantly at school.
She had backing, so she had no scruples.
Even now that the apocalypse had arrived, before a new order was officially established, her status remained lofty.
Seeing that Chu Liuyue remained silent.
Zhou Yu'an looked serious and added, "I know you are timid and scared of those zombies. When the time comes, stand behind me, and I will protect you."
Chu Liuyue suddenly hooked the corners of her lips.
And smiled.
Seeing this smile, Zhou Yu'an felt somewhat at a loss.
"What's wrong?"
"Dr. Zhou, I should be asking what's wrong with you?" Chu Liuyue said unhurriedly. "I am just your patient, not your girlfriend. You don't need to report anything to me."
Zhou Yu'an unnaturally turned his head away and took a step back.
"I just saw that you were angry."
"Right, so are you trying to coax me?" Chu Liuyue's eyebrows raised. Seeing him step back, she took the initiative to step forward instead.
Zhou Yu'an felt a lump in his throat and it took him a long time to utter a single word: "I..."
"An'an, are you coaxing me?" she repeated.
She stood slightly on her tiptoes, naturally placing her hands on his shoulders.
She tilted up her small, flawless, porcelain-white face.
And stared straight at him.
She stared until Zhou Yu'an's face turned redder and redder. His Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and he tried to pull her hands away.
"Speak," Chu Liuyue said, stepping even closer.
Her gaze was burning.
Her breath brushed against his face as she spoke.
Zhou Yu'an had never been this close to a woman before, and he could smell the faint scent of lilies of the valley emanating from her.
His long eyelashes drooped and fluttered gently.
A trace of shyness flashed in his amber pupils.
He said hoarsely, "Let go of me."
"Then answer me first." Chu Liuyue tilted her head slightly, her gaze falling on his bright red ears.
"Yes." His face flushed red, and it took him a long while to force out the word.
"Yes to what?" she pressed.
"I was afraid you were angry, so... I came over to coax you."
After saying this long sentence in one breath, Zhou Yu'an didn't even care to see the expression of the person in front of him. He gently pushed her hands away and fled in panic.
Tsk.
So innocent.
Boys who have never been in a relationship are just this naive.
Chu Liuyue crossed her arms over her chest, watching his figure gradually disappear from her sight.
Only then did she turn her head to look at the corner of the wall.
"Did you enjoy the show?"
"Watching for so long?"
Yan Qingdu took a long stride and walked out from the shadows.
His voice was lazy.
He spoke: "It was quite a good show. You actually have the skills to make Zhou Yu'an blush?"
Chu Liuyue smiled.
Pivoting slightly on her toes, she walked in his direction.
Meeting his bright, seductive phoenix eyes, she narrowed her own.
She raised her thumb and index finger, aiming a finger gun at him through the air.
Her thin lips parted slightly.
"Phew... Bang!"
Yan Qingdu, who had been calm and collected just a moment ago, hurriedly dodged in a brief moment of panic.
Realizing she was just faking it.
He immediately let out a long sigh of relief.
"You scared me to death, I thought you..."
He suddenly paused, feeling the air ripple and distort near his temple as a transparent handgun was slowly pressed against his head.
