Gu Ling looked at the zombies behind him and shouted, “No!” However, his boss kicked him down.

The moment Gu Ling landed on the ground, he threw a fireball at the zombie in front and quickly climbed into the car behind him.

Someone inside mocked, “Brother Ling was chased out again?”

Gu Ling shot a cold glance at them and no one dared to say anything further. He was pleased with himself. Even if he could not handle President Gu, he could still deal with them.

Gu Jincheng took out the photo from his chest. In the photo was a girl’s smiling face. The corners of the photo were already worn out, but it was obvious that the owner cherished this photo.

Gu Jincheng’s strong, slender hand brushed past the girl in the photo. The girl was smiling very happily, and her eyes seemed to be twinkling with stars. He had three photo albums for photos like this, but he liked this photo the most because he took it for her personally.

He did not know why he fell in love with her, but by the time he realized it, he had fallen too deeply in love. It was too late to pull himself out.

The moment the apocalypse came, he panicked. He hated himself more than once for not going to City B that day. “Why did I let my girl suffer such a terrible apocalypse alone?” he thought.

“Will she be afraid?

Will she cry?

Will she… miss me?”

These questions tortured him until he could barely breathe. Without seeing her and not knowing for certain if she was safe, he could not be at ease. He wanted to be with her even in the apocalypse.

Gu Jincheng clearly remembered that day when he finished talking to Shanshan on the phone. That was the first time they spoke so cordially after Shanshan’s 18th birthday. It made him touch her number on the phone longingly… His Shanshan… was finally his…

Although he still felt that Shanshan’s stockpile of food and firearms was a joke, he was used to spoiling Shanshan. He would not disappoint her no matter how much he disbelieved what she said.

However, what happened next stunned him.

It was true! Doomsday was really here!

When those unconscious people woke up, they became zombies that ate human flesh. They bit the people around them, chewed, and swallowed…

Everyone who was alive began to experience fear, terror, and struggles…

“Trust me, I will find you safely.” This thought made Gu Jincheng feel some comfort in his heart. “Shanshan, this time, you can’t lie to me anymore. You must live on safely. Otherwise, I will go crazy.”

He clenched his fists, his nails digging into his palms and leaving traces of blood. Immediately, a bolt of lightning flashed, and the blood from the wound was charred black, emitting a faint smell. He had been relying on pain to calm himself down these past few days or he would lose control before he found Shanshan.

His lightning power was powerful, but it was also a kind of torture to his body.

…

Su Shanshan and the others drove all the way to the outskirts of the city. It was going quite well. They did not encounter any large groups of zombies. There was a green military truck parked by the road in the outskirts of the city. There were quite a number of people in the truck. There were all kinds of special purpose licensed cars around. There was probably an important man that the government was picking up.

Although the people all had fear on their faces, they seemed to be waiting for someone of high status, and no one was complaining or cursing.

Armed soldiers surrounded the area to offer protection. They did not chase away the cars that came uninvited. They just told them to stay outside the circle and not block the road.

There were people making a din but the soldiers had guns. With a click, the troublemakers retreated obediently.

At his age, Fei Lan was very passionate towards soldiers. He looked at them with their guns and said with a red face, “Sister Shanshan, should we follow the soldiers?”

Su Shanshan shook her head. “No, we’ll go by ourselves.”

They did not know where the military truck was going. She had to go to City M. Once she got the item she wanted, she would leave and head for City A to look for Gu Jincheng. She did not know how he was doing.
