Millennium: I Love Demon King

The army's rescue operation began to change when it reached the third sector.

In Green Source and Huxiang District, the army still followed the procedures strictly one by one to check whether the survivors had been bitten by zombies. In Green Source and Huxiang District, the army still followed the procedures strictly one by one to check whether the survivors had been bitten by zombies.

Considering that the army's trucks no longer had space, those who joined later would not affect the safety of the main force. Chief of Staff Liu made a difficult decision. He asked the people who came with him to check on each other. As long as the few people who were in the same group confirmed that they were not wrong, they would be able to follow the convoy.

This order was certainly risky, but it was also the only decision that could be made in the absence of ammunition and food.

Most of them hadn't thought about it that deeply yet. They were eager for the convoy to leave as soon as possible, so they could get to the temporary base as soon as possible. In their fantasies, the temporary base was no doubt a paradise compared to H City. Safe and well-fed, as long as they reached the temporary base, they would be able to return to their pre-apocalypse life.

But the selfishness of human nature could not stand the test of reality and was soon revealed as the convoy advanced. Every day, there were a few cars. As they drove, they would suddenly let out a terrifying scream. The cars that were close by could be seen clearly. The snake-shaped car crashed into the roadside and its windows were filled with scarlet blood. It was obvious that the person who was bitten had concealed the truth and followed them into the car. Once the incubation period of the zombie virus was over, everyone in the car would be wrongfully killed.

Lin Xin saw all of this. Besides sighing, her heart was starting to feel numb. Those three families were also very smart. They were shocked by Grandpa Liu's words. Ever since the new army rules were issued, they no longer queued up to receive porridge.

The human heart is not ancient!

On the other hand, Gu Cheng displayed too great of a feeling, as if all of this had nothing to do with him. It was rare for them to be kind when they saw the Liu couple eating together with the old man and the young child. Resisting his disdain, he called the three families inside the bus to eat with the two of them — it was too obvious that their cars were not covered in black film. In the past few days, Lin Xin had gradually gotten familiar with him and didn't show any reaction to his occasional approach. Even so, there were only two people in the car. Gu Cheng was responsible for driving the car every day, being able to get close to her every day and talk a little more with her.

It was evident that he had been extremely kind to be able to endure the three clans coming to destroy their rare times of solitude. That was why every time they ate together, they would exchange a few glances that they understood each other. Fortunately, they could still see the look in each other's eyes, so they intentionally took up most of the space to squeeze the two together. If it weren't for the fact that Gu Cheng's expression was truly terrible and that they didn't have the guts to laugh, Lin Xin would have definitely been teased by these two old men.

The squadron once again encountered a few battles of different sizes, but they were all able to get through it safely. Gu Cheng had already piled up three boxes of zombie cores, but what made him a little disappointed was that even though he had been able to make Lin Xin eat the cores as if they were rice, Lin Xin still hadn't been able to trigger any special abilities.

Except for one thing, he didn't know if it was because of the love in the eyes of a lover or not, but he felt like Lin Xin was becoming more and more beautiful. Until Lin Xin herself heard Miss Ma, Miss He, and Grandma Liu repeatedly praise her to be prettier. She looked at herself in the mirror for a long time before finally letting out a "F * ck" sound … …. Everyone finally understood the weak point of the crystal core — it was beautiful.

Gu Cheng actually wanted to laugh. Every time he peeked at Lin Xin in the rearview mirror, she would glare at him fiercely. What he did not tell her was that her angry appearance was simply incomparably adorable in his eyes. Like a cat whose fur was blown off, when she glared at him with her large, watery eyes, Gu Cheng would always have the urge to rub her hair to smooth it out for her. It was a pity that after provoking her a few times, Lin Xin was too tired to play this game with him. Although it was somewhat regretful that he had not been able to trigger any superpowers, it had always been a man's responsibility to protect his woman. Gu Cheng had still thrown out his crystal core for her to eat, as usual.

Of course, Gu Cheng had his own selfish motives. The changes that the crystal core had brought to Lin Xin were not only in appearance, but also in something else. He stole a glance at the person curled up on the sofa. She was wearing a pair of furry pink coralline jumpsuit that Gu Cheng had specially ordered online. It was a rabbit style, with long ears hanging down from the back of her head. Gu Cheng was slightly regretting having allowed her to wear such a set of pajamas. He quietly shifted his gaze away and thought about the zombie for a long time. Finally, he suppressed the restless feeling in his heart.

It was a pity that the instigator had not found them. He had been looking at the crayon pen and waiting for the signal to rest. He turned off the computer and got ready to go to sleep. The pitiful Gu Cheng could only helplessly sigh as he looked at her back. After once again inspecting the surroundings, he opened the car door and jumped onto the roof to keep watch. He might not be able to be alone in the same carriage with her tonight.

He had initially thought that it would be great if he could stay by her side and protect her, just like how he had been in his previous life. However, every trusting look she gave him, every gentle smile, nourished the beast that lived in his heart. It became increasingly greedy and powerful, clamoring as it ate her into its stomach, eager to taste her delicacies … Gu Cheng was afraid that one day, he would not be able to control himself and hurt the treasure that Chen Changsheng did not wish to hurt the most.

The chilly wind of early autumn blew across his face, finally allowing his feverish mind to regain some composure. For no reason, Gu Cheng thought of that magic epic movie. The Hobbit inside was mumbling to himself as he held the ring and chanted, "Myprecious, myprecious …" Wasn't he the same as well? He was willing to take the poison called Lin Xin.

Lin Xin was already used to having him around half a meter away at night. Every time she heard his steady breathing, she would quickly fall asleep. In the end, they waited for a long time that night. Gu Cheng still hadn't come back, while Lin Xin had no sleep. She tossed and turned the entire night until she couldn't sleep at all. She only had a panda eye in her eyes the next day.

Although Gu Cheng's little bit of commotion had gotten to himself and Lin Xin, he had unexpectedly managed to please Chief of Staff Liu and the rest. As mentioned earlier, they had always been paying attention to Gu Cheng's every move. When they saw that this expert had the intention of keeping watch all night, Chief of Staff Liu very happily allowed the night guards to take the night off from work. It was rare for them to have a peaceful sleep.

After all, the soldiers were nervous and didn't have much time to rest on the second day. The zombies along the way didn't care if they were tired or not, the gunshots along the way were very frequent. On the fourth day of their departure, the convoy finally arrived at the temporary base of the new dawn. After the army had completed its mission with Huang Renfeng, the head of the base, the military had left the area, leaving nearly 40,000 people behind to block off the entrance to the base. The base's isolation area could not accommodate all these people at the moment, so for the sake of safety, not a single person was allowed inside. This time, the inspection they faced was much stricter. Gu Cheng observed for a moment. Every time, he would put in ten people at the same time, as if they were shaking a bugle. Each of them was a man and a woman, and it would take at least fifteen minutes for them to move on to the next group. As night fell, the snake-shaped survivors became more and more anxious. However, they could only obediently wait as the heavily armed soldiers stared at them.

It was impossible for the base's staff to work all night. Looking at the dense crowd, Gu Cheng simply didn't go and join the liveliness. Instead, he took the bus to the side to prepare dinner. Seeing that he did not go to line up, the residents of the Green Source District also turned their cars around and gathered around the bus.

The commotion caused by the large number of people in front of the base naturally attracted the attention of nearby zombies. At this time, everyone had just finished their dinner, and it was the perfect time for them to digest the food after the meal. The sentry from the base was just about to report the situation when he noticed something. Not even ten minutes later, the scattered zombies were wiped clean, and their jaws almost dropped to the ground. Even if they had guns, a team of sixteen would need at least ten minutes to get rid of the same number of zombies. After all, not everyone knew how to shoot their heads off repeatedly, and that damned thing would need to get hit in the head to kill it. But the dozens of people outside didn't even have a decent weapon, so they easily cleaned up the zombies.

It must be the way he opened his eyes!

He had noticed with his keen eyes that the group of zombies was killed by a black-clothed youth after he moved. If he wasn't mistaken, more than half of the zombies were killed by that person.

He silently followed the man's movements and watched him get on the semi-old bus. Unfortunately, the window of the bus was covered, so he couldn't see anything inside. He secretly memorized these anomalies in his heart. In the report on the day's work, he truthfully wrote it down. The next day, he was called to the office by the head of the patrol.

This person was none other than Gu Cheng. Of course, Gu Cheng paid no heed to small matters like being spied on by sentries throughout the entire process.

As he had expected, the inspection of the base was over by ten o'clock, even though the workers behind the gate had accelerated, and less than three thousand people had been admitted to the base. Because of the hunger and fear caused by the people lining up for several hours, they didn't want to attract more zombies, so they placed half of the team into the base's isolation zone. As for the rest, they didn't have much space left.

No matter how unhappy everyone was, there was nothing they could do. They gathered the cars together and barely survived their first night at the base.

While these people were painstakingly queuing up for all sorts of troubles, the people who had long since stopped eating with Gu Cheng gathered together and began playing cards, chatting with each other. They did not forget to bring along mahjong players as well. As the owner of this mahjong army, he enjoyed the privilege of never being eliminated, while the others eagerly waited at the side. The group of people at the mahjong table were able to find the materials on the spot, tear down several cars of trunk cushions, and stack them up to make use of. All four of them crossed their legs and sat down at the same height. None of them had to worry about any of their cards being stolen. In the end, the mahjong card's owner still sat cross-legged until his legs were cramped. Only then did he reluctantly get up and give up his seat.

Meanwhile, Gu Cheng was contentedly watching Lin Xin roam around the kitchen brewing milk tea for him. The real cup of Keemun Black Tea, along with extra thick milk and two cubes of sugar, was finally served with a small piece of cake. After dinner, the tea was ready.

Gu Cheng had never tasted milk tea before. His friends all wanted to drink wine. Beer, second cooking pot, and burning knives. These were things that men drank. Even red wine was something Gu Cheng had never touched. Most of the things in his space were stored according to Lin Xin's preferences. He couldn't forget the yearning that flashed through her eyes when she glanced over that small box of inferior black tea bags on the black market. In the end, because they were poor, they exchanged the remaining ten crystal cores for a small bag of flour. Therefore, even though there was still a little disliked milk tea as a motherly beverage in his heart at this moment, Gu Cheng cooperatively finished it in one gulp as he watched Lin Xin brew so happily with a child-like smile on her face.

"Is it good?" Her short black hair was a bit too long, so she habitually put them behind her ears, revealing her small round beads.

For some reason, he felt somewhat thirsty. Facing her completely innocent and trusting gaze, he could only lower his eyes and look to the side, coughing lightly as he threw down the cup, intending to head out.

"I'll go out and stand guard. Don't wait for me, go to sleep." After hastily throwing down those words, Gu Cheng felt as if he was running for his life.

"Don't go!" Lin Xin, who had been unable to sleep for two days in a row, wasn't stupid. Of course she understood why he had been acting so weird these two days.

Gu Cheng turned to look at her in astonishment. Under the warm orange light, Lin Xin's face had a tantalizing blush. It was faint, so beautiful that it made his heart ache.

"Lin Xin, I can't help it." He took a deep breath. It took all his strength to keep his voice calm.

"I know." She took a few steps forward, slowly approaching him. Only when she noticed that Gu Cheng was even more afraid of her than she was did she finally walk in front of him, gently spreading her arms to embrace his thick back. She was so nervous that she even forgot to breathe. Only when she felt the body under her hand stiffen for a moment did she rest her head comfortably against his chest.

Gu Cheng's heart thumped even faster than hers.

"I like you too." She grew familiar with the strange warmth and said without shyness, "You can hug me gently now, but don't do anything else. I'll tell you when I get used to it. "

Upon hearing her speak so frankly and boldly, the tensed desires from before strangely disappeared. He sighed in his heart, "Good girl, I sincerely submit to my own desire and put my hands on the slender waist that he had been staring at for a long time." Afraid that he would scare away the butterfly in his arms, he didn't dare move his hands even slightly. Even if he moved a little bit lower, it would attract his attention to the second plateau.

It just so happened that at this very moment, because of a tuft of disobedient little hair, Lin Xin was being driven by Gu Cheng's breathing, always pricking her ears. She would occasionally scratch them, just like a cat scratching the tip of his heart. Her ears were no longer itching, but Gu Cheng was.

Unfortunately, Lin Xin had already embraced him enough and released him without a care in the world. Her rosy lips parted and closed, uttering the most beautiful words Gu Cheng had ever heard in his life.

"I know that you feel far more for me than I do for you, and I will try to catch up. Please slow down and wait for me along the way. There will be a day when I will stand by your side. "

Gu Cheng couldn't help but rub her down into his chest, his chin unconsciously rubbing against her hair. This gave Lin Xin a fright, but very quickly, she relaxed her body, even though his arm had been tightened a little too tightly.

At this moment, Gu Cheng's heart was already in disarray to the point of not knowing what he was doing. He could only obey his instincts and hold his treasure a little tighter, afraid that if he opened his eyes, she would disappear like a dream every night.

Not to mention that the hug that would only appear in his dreams had suddenly come true, and then he suddenly heard her tender confession. It was as if Gu Cheng had been smashed by a pie falling from the sky tonight, almost fainting from the impact. Although he had a valiant mannerism that pleased women, he had never spoken of serious love. This good girl had snatched everything he needed to do. If Gu Cheng could see the expression on his face, he would definitely be surprised. At this moment, he couldn't help but reveal a smile. How blissfully blissful he was.

"Gu Cheng, I can't even breathe." Lin Xin originally wanted to hurt this cold-faced, big dumb guy, but his arms were tightening and she felt that if she didn't stop him now, her chest would burst. This reason was rather shameless. Her face was red to the extreme, but in Gu Cheng's eyes, it had turned into genuine humiliation, scaring him so much that he hurriedly let go of her.

They were both a little awkward — though for different reasons. Finally, Lin Xin took the initiative to say that it was getting late and it was time to go to bed. With this layer of window paper punctured, Gu Cheng finally no longer needed to run out and stand vigil. Lin Xin blushed as she said good night to him. Suddenly, she discovered that the curtain in the middle had already been put away by Gu Cheng. After turning off the light, she could still feel that he had been staring at her.

Although he wasn't worried about what he would do, his heart still pounded and his face turned red. She half covered her face with the quilt, said good night again softly, then turned her back to him and went to sleep. Listening to her breathing, Gu Cheng waited until she had fallen asleep before getting up and walking up to her bed. He bent down and lightly kissed her on the forehead before silently sending her good night.

Early the next morning, the three families appeared in the bus's dining hall as usual, immediately noticing the abnormality from Gu Cheng's sticky gaze.

Miss Ma asked, "Are you two officially together?"

Miss He was also very gossipy, "They've finally made their move. I was afraid that Mr. Gu would not wait for the day when the flowers bloom and bear fruit."

Grandma Liu also came up to him, "Such an excellent rich and handsome man, it's good that you did not miss him."

Gu Cheng had never been short of food. Even though he had no idea where he had gotten it from, in the current era of the apocalypse, wouldn't he have been the rich and handsome one after he had eaten so much?

Grandpa Liu was the only one who dared to come over and talk to Gu Cheng, "When will the wedding be held?"

At this moment, Lin Xin's face had thinned out. She had been teased by them not long after, and when she turned around, Gu Cheng was also looking at her with a reddened face.

The car burst into laughter. Fortunately, Gu Cheng had prepared a table of food in time to cover their mouths, which was why everyone had let the two of them go. When they left, the three families all said that they would settle it themselves for lunch and dinner. Lin Xin thought that they were too embarrassed to be electric bulbs and wanted to keep them, but Granny Liu's words stopped them, "Don't tell me we have to let you keep us for your entire lives? You've taken care of us enough along the way that you've got to learn to make your own living. "

In the end, Gu Cheng still sent everyone a bag of canned food and instant noodles that were easy to keep before everyone left. This time, only Gu Cheng and Lin Xin were left in the car. Initially, it was fine that they hadn't revealed it, but at least Gu Cheng was able to maintain some form of courtesy as he peeked at Lin Xin in the rearview mirror to satisfy his craving. Right now, his gaze was glued to her body. Just looking at her wasn't enough, no matter where Lin Xin went, he would follow her. The car was only that big. Lin Xin had initially thought that if she hid in the bathroom, she would be able to rest for a while. The moment the door was opened, he would be stuck there like a pillar.

Lin Xin was so infuriated by him that she used her head as a hammer and heavily hit his chest twice. The third hit was blocked by his thick hand.

"Be careful not to get dizzy from the collision." After saying that, he even massaged her forehead, and rubbed it. Then, his hand ran towards her cheek.

"Why are you always following me? Let go, it's so hot to hug. "

Gu Cheng could only unwillingly let her go, yet he still followed her everywhere. Lin Xin had no choice but to sit on the sofa and turn on the computer to look at Little Xin. When she turned her head, Gu Cheng was sitting at the side, looking at her.

Sighing, she took his head and laid it on her lap. Her soft hand lightly covered his eyes as she said softly, "Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere. "Wherever you go, I will follow you."

He moved his palm, and a moment later it seemed as if there were warm tears on it. At this moment, the new crayons in the computer was dancing an elephant dance. She had one hand on her cheek as the corner of her mouth curved into a smile.

Not far from the car, there were some survivors noisily waiting to enter the quarantine area. Outside, the sounds of neighbors exchanging food and daily necessities could be heard. When Lin Xin heard these voices, she suddenly felt that it was absurd.

Gu Cheng seemed to have fallen asleep, lying quietly on her lap without moving at all. Lin Xin looked at his two long legs that were hanging on the arm of the sofa because the sofa was too small. The hands that covered his eyes were placed on top of his head. His hair was neither long nor short, and when he touched it, it felt unexpectedly soft.

Gu Cheng didn't know when he had fallen asleep. In the end, he had been woken up by Lin Xin. Slowly opening her eyes, she bowed her head and gave herself a warm smile. "It seems that it's our turn to go in."

Gu Cheng was astonished for a moment. Even though he had fallen asleep, he had been completely subconscious and hadn't been on guard against her at all. When he got up to take a look, it was already dark outside. The cars near the bus were heading towards the main entrance of the base. It seemed like they had already been inspected.

"Why didn't you wake me up? Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something? "

Seeing Lin Xin sitting on the sofa and not getting up, Gu Cheng who had always been meticulous towards her immediately understood that she had been using him as a pillow all day and that his legs had become numb, preventing him from getting up.

"You really should have woken me up."

"I saw you sleeping so soundly, so I didn't have the heart to do it. I've always been under your care, but what I can do for you is too little. Let's go and get checked out before we eat at the base. Since the three families have already gone in, I think it would be best if we lived near them and looked after each other. "

"Alright, I'll listen to you." In the end, her heart still ached, and she took out a piece of chocolate from the interspatial ring to rest her stomach. Just as the bus drew to a stop near the gate, a person walked up to welcome them.

"Is it Gu Cheng, Mr Gu?"

Gu Cheng nodded, looking at him with more vigilance.

"This must be Miss Lin Xin Lin. I've been waiting for you guys for a long time under the request of Chief of Staff Liu. As expected, it's still as Old Liu expected. We will drag each other to the end of the line before we enter the base. I didn't believe it at all. It's like this. I've already arranged your house according to Old Liu's instructions. Your friends also live nearby. The car can stop at the head of our compound. Please rest assured that no one dares to touch it. "

The person was very talkative. He nagged them all the way to a small house, with two bedrooms and a living room. He even brought a kitchen guard with him. The house wasn't big, but it was clean and tidy.

Gu Cheng looked around in satisfaction, then pretended to take out two packets of cigarettes from his pocket and passed them over. The friendship he had with Chief of Staff Liu had brought him unexpected benefits. Although he knew that the ones responsible for inspecting his body were all women, he was still reluctant to show his treasure to anyone else. He originally smoked, but in his previous life, he didn't have to smoke and was forced to quit. In this life, he was willing to quit because he didn't want Lin Xin to smoke secondhand cigarettes. In this lifetime, he only wished to live for a long, long time, so that he could protect her and live for a long, long time. He had conveniently collected and sold these cigarettes at a high price. Who would waste any more land to grow tobacco in this apocalyptic era if he didn't even have time to grow food?

He was the secretary of the temporary base in New Dawn, and his status was similar to the base commander, Huang Renfeng. He did not expect the man to be so straightforward as to present him with a gift. He took the two packs of cigarettes with a smile, instructed the two of them a little more about the rules of the base, and left.

After closing the door, Gu Cheng turned on the spiritual force barrier and retrieved the generator from within his space. After standing on the floor lamp before the living room, he pulled over half of the old tea table and brought out two bowls of steaming hot noodles.

"It's better to eat noodles when you're hungry. Soup noodles nourish your stomach. "What do you want to eat later? I'll get it for you." he whispered, handing her the chopsticks.

"No need, this bowl of noodles is more or less done. Eat it, you've also slept for the entire day."

The two of them looked at each other and smiled. Then, they looked at each other and began to drink the noodles. Lin Xin loved to eat noodles with him the most. She didn't need to act like a lady and eat noodles with chopsticks. Eating noodles and rice flour was the best way to eat. In the end, the two of them were hungry and finished the noodles in a few bites. After a few more rounds, it was time to go to sleep. Only then did Lin Xin start feeling troubled.

Two rooms, and each room had only one bed. What if the rooms were too narrow to fit inside? She had been afraid of losing sleep for two days in a row.

Gu Cheng had already moved the quilt next door to her to be folded in half and made a bed beside her bed.

"You'd better go to the next room and sleep. It's too narrow for you to sleep comfortably."

"It's alright, go sleep. The sheets and blankets are new." Gu Cheng quickly tidied up the bed before lying down on the floor. His entire body was covered by the blanket that had originally been her bed.

Lin Xin was a bit obsessed with cleanliness, luckily it was only the bed that acted up, so living in her own home was good, but going out to travel and live in a hotel would be troublesome, she always felt that the bed sheets and blankets were not clean, that sleep was not good, and bringing along bed accessories was also too heavy, so she rarely traveled, and when the company arranged to travel, everyone would take care of her. At first, she treated them as good people, but later, when she overheard them fighting over the various travel grants in the teahouse, the leader wanted to nurture her, so he pushed her aside after a few trips.

Recalling that the bed on the bus was also the same, that the sheets and pillows were all new. It could be said that the first time was a coincidence, but the second time was undoubtedly intentional. Once again, she deeply felt how meticulously he took care of her. Lin Xin was a bit touched, lying on her stomach on the bed and looking at him, who was sleeping a little uncomfortably. The one meter wide open space was truly difficult for him.

"What's wrong? Can't sleep?" Gu Cheng heard her movements and turned to look at her.

"Thank you, Gu Cheng." Thank you for being so kind to me.

He smiled up at her, his teeth white in the dark.

"Go to sleep. We'll go take a walk tomorrow morning after waking up."

"Good night." After Lin Xin finished speaking, her heart was filled with happiness as she hid in her blanket and closed her eyes.

However, Gu Cheng had been lying there with his eyes open the entire time. After she had fallen asleep, he gently rose and caressed her rosy cheeks before giving her a kiss on her forehead.

"Good night, mystic."
