Millennium: I Love Demon King

Lin Xin didn't know how normal people fall in love, she only saw love played by handsome men and beautiful women in movies and TV, went to the cinema to watch movies, and went to a romantic western restaurant to have a candlelight dinner together, or in a brightly lit street, the two of them passionately embraced and kissed … She had never imagined love, though there had never been a lack of admirers around her because she was beautiful. But the heavy precautions she'd put up against men since she was a child had made her vision of the opposite sex sharper, and she'd never fallen into any of the hunter's traps.

At this moment, she and Gu Cheng were walking leisurely in the early morning of the base, their fingers interlocked. As they listened to the sounds of fireworks from every household and counted the bluestone path beneath their feet, there was no need for them to say anything. Occasionally, they would glance at each other, each understanding the meaning behind the other's eyes.

She looked down at their hands as they held each other's hands. She had always thought that the Cantonese word "love" was very strange, although she didn't know where it came from, and she didn't know if the two verbs had any special meaning in that part of Guangdong. However, she felt that she was being held back by Gu Cheng.

Despite walking in the empty alleys early in the morning, the habit was somewhat dubious, a bit of the old man's and his wife's way of getting along.

The changes that the crystal core had brought to her were not only external. She followed Gu Cheng for the entire morning. They had already traveled all the various roads in the base, but she didn't feel tired at all. What was worth mentioning was that when they arrived at the central region, they discovered the trading market within the base. The two of them spent more than half an hour within it. At this time, the food had already become hard currency. From the conversations of the people, Lin Xin not only understood the market price of the food, but she also heard a piece of bad news. The wheat seedlings in the field and the sweet potato vines all turned purplish red. Some people tried to dig up some sweet potatoes, but other than a small bunch of rotten roots, there was nothing else in the soil.

"I'm afraid the price of food will increase again." One of them shook his head and sighed.

There were antiques, winter quilts, and all sorts of jewelry and gold. The prices weren't high, but the business was clearly difficult. Lin Xin enjoyed looking at those sparkling and colorful gems. She stayed at the jewelry stall for a while. Gu Cheng thought that she wanted to buy some, but then he saw her walk over to the stall next door.

"Don't you want to buy it? The last ring you tried was a pretty good one. It's not expensive anyway. "

Indeed, it was not expensive. He only needed equivalent food for a week. A box of instant noodles or five cans of canned food could be 10 catties of rice.

Lin Xin knew that food was not a problem for Gu Cheng, so she shook her head and refused, "Should we buy some blankets?" The quilt covering the floor is too damp, let's put in a few more layers of blankets and go down. "

For some reason, Gu Cheng's face suddenly turned red, "It's fine. It's still warm now. Let's talk after it's really cold."

Since he said this, Lin Xin didn't think too much about it. How could she have imagined that Gu Cheng was actually scheming something? He was worried that the weather would get colder, so he waited impatiently for the weather to get colder. Lin Xin would not let him sleep, so she let him sleep on the bed with a soft heart. At this moment, even though he knew that Lin Xin didn't think of that level, his face still turned red.

The two of them had nothing to buy, so they casually strolled around for a bit before returning home. The early arrivals from the neighboring cities had first chosen to approach the military encampment or to stay far away from the central zone of the city's defensive walls. Fortunately, it was Xu Dadong who had helped them preserve a few houses not far away from the base. When Gu Cheng and the others returned home, they bumped into a few male hosts who had just returned from a base mission. Grandpa Liu was naturally among them as well.

Through their introductions, Gu Cheng and Lin Xin discovered that these houses weren't provided for everyone to live in for free. Every week, they would have to pay a certain amount of work points or food of equal value as rent, otherwise they would be chased out of the base by the base's security squad.

The so called points were also very easy to obtain. Those who didn't dare to go out and kill zombies stayed in the factory to work.

The temporary base just happened to be located near a high drop dam, and lacked the talent to operate the machine. After cleaning up the nearby zombies, they relied on a few electricians to somewhat restore the small power plant's productivity. Unfortunately, the electricity that was sent out could only sustain the operation of a few major production lines. The crisis of crop mutations has made the leaders of the base aware of the urgency of classifying the collected food and further processing it into food that is easier to store over the long term. Therefore, during this period, the base was recruiting a lot of skilled workers with relevant work experience. It didn't matter, as long as they had the strength and patience, they would be able to pack everything.

Other than Bighead, there were also some scattered jobs in the base, and it was easier for people with skills to find something suitable for them to do. Of course, the pay from these jobs was not very high, only barely enough for them to get enough food and the daily rent.

If one wanted to earn more points, one had the guts to register at the meeting hall of the base to accept missions. The base would assign a person to accompany the team. One reason was to serve as a guide and to protect the team, while the other was to be in charge of registering the team's individual combat results. If one wanted to go to a distant food station, supermarket warehouse, and other places to search for materials, it would usually be 30 people for a train. If one wanted to go to a distant food station, or a supermarket warehouse, it would usually be 30 people for a train.

Therefore, the task of searching for supplies was more dangerous and difficult – all the supplies would have to be moved to the vehicles by themselves. Every time such a mission was issued, the veterans of the base would fight over them. If they were smart, they could even hide some things and come back. With this mission, they could protect the family for seven or eight days without worrying about food or drinks.

When Mr. Liu and the others first arrived, they registered with others to patrol around and clear out the nearby zombies. Bighead Yang, Grandpa Liu, Mr. Sun, and himself, a total of four people, less than a minute after registering, were led by one of the soldiers. They gathered the other six and left for their missions. Apart from the four of them, the rest were all old birds.

Everyone was waiting to see them make a fool of themselves. They didn't expect to meet a zombie, so the four newcomers immediately rushed forward like they were on stimulants. Leading them was a little soldier surnamed Tian. He subconsciously wanted to use his gun to save them, but Mr. Liu and the other four newbies easily took care of three zombies. They were too shocked to notice their actions of digging out the crystal core. Instead, when they saw the smashed heads of the zombies, they were shocked by their brutality.

The first battle was a victory. Only then did everyone put away their initial contempt. Soon after, their teeth started to itch with hatred. In any case, Mr. Liu and the others reacted too quickly, causing them to wander around the whole morning and not be able to kill any zombies.

Stealing monsters was shameful!

Of course, they did not know what the others were thinking. As a small team, the four of them had already recorded 28 work points in the morning, earning back a week's worth of rent in an instant. Everyone was very happy, and when they saw Gu Cheng's group, they excitedly explained everything that had happened in the morning without waiting for them to ask.

The families of the three families still had food to eat. They agreed to go to the Number 1 cafeteria at the base and have a look. After all, they earned it with their own hands, so those who didn't know would think they were going for a celebratory feast.

Lin Xin and a few others waved goodbye and returned to the small room, arm in arm with Gu Cheng. Seemingly infected by the smiles of hope on the faces of those three families, she decided to personally cook a bowl of noodle soup for Gu Cheng.

Gu Cheng cooperatively found her a gas furnace and flour, then asked her what supplementary materials she needed. Following that, as if by magic, he placed the items she wanted one by one in front of her.

Lin Xin skillfully heated the flour with boiling water and quickly stirred it up. As her chopsticks flew around, the flour turned into different shapes and sizes of dough.

After a few stirs, the pimples appeared one by one in the boiling pot, and the broth became milky white. She immediately put it in two bowls, mixed the flavor, and lit a few drops of sesame oil.

A hot bowl of homemade knobbly soup was ready.

Gu Cheng tasted the flavor, nodding in response to her anticipatory gaze. Only then did Lin Xin make her own move. The broth that had just come out of the pot was too hot. The two were panting as they blew at the hot broth.

Lin Xin rarely saw Gu Cheng being beaten so badly by a bowl of hot soup that he had nowhere to place his claw on. She couldn't help but smile, only stopping when she was lightly glanced at by him, in order to maintain her manly image.

The peaceful days passed one by one like this. In the blink of an eye, Lin Xin and Gu Cheng had already lived in the New Dawn Base for over half a month. In the blink of an eye, Lin Xin and Gu Cheng had already lived in the New Dawn Base for over half a month.

Many people didn't think of taking extra clothes when they were fleeing, especially those who were following the convoy from various corners. They didn't think about all the things that would happen on the way out. When the weather cooled down, the market's winter clothes and quilts were slightly better off. Gu Cheng still brought her for a walk around the base every day. However, as the weather grew colder, Lin Xin began burying herself in bed. Gu Cheng would always follow her. But after eight, he wouldn't let her hang on, forcing her to get up and eat something to pad her stomach before allowing her to go back to sleep. As a result, her biological clock was forced to automatically wake up at eight o'clock. Waiting until she finished eating breakfast in bed, Lin Xin bitterly discovered that lying in bed after completely waking up wasn't actually a very happy thing.

Thus, the time for their walk was automatically adjusted to be around nine o'clock. The people nearby all recognized them. They had never seen Gu Cheng go out to work, nor had they seen their figures in the cafeteria. As time passed, everyone knew that they were not lacking in food. There were those who wanted to get closer to Gu Cheng, while there were also those who came to steal things at night. Gu Cheng's cold gaze swept over the former, but he was so frightened that he dispelled his thoughts. The latter, however, expended a great deal of effort, unable to get a hold of the door. The small house that Gu Cheng and the rest were staying in had been called a haunted house by them, leaving them at a loss whether to laugh or to cry.

Since it was late, he naturally encountered many people along the way. The temporary base contained nearly 300,000 people from the neighboring counties. Other than the first day when they had finished strolling around the base, Gu Cheng had always picked the stone path that Lin Xi liked as their route of daily walks. This area was where the base's poor people gathered. In the past, when they passed here, they had not woken up yet, but now it was too late. On this day, Lin Xin met a person she used to know.

"Lin Xin? It's really you! I thought I was wrong. " A woman in a half-worn sweater emerged from a side door, an old stain on her collar and cuffs that hadn't been washed in a long time. Not just the clothes, but her people too. Her hair was slicked back, and as she got closer, Lin Xin could smell the rancid smell of her sweat.

"Mei Ling?" Lin Xin sized her up for a long time before recognizing that the person in front of her was her former colleague who meticulously dressed up in perfume every day.

"How did you become like this? Just you alone? " Lin Xin had been protected too well by Gu Cheng. The three families that they were acquainted with, Miss He who also had a water special ability, provided water for daily use. When she saw that the majority of the people she saw were all particular about maintaining her appearance before the apocalypse, she blurted out those words without thinking too much. After saying that, he remembered that Mei Ling was the most outstanding person in her department. His obvious surprise would undoubtedly hurt her self-esteem.

The other person laughed without a care, "I followed my dad out. That night when my mom went out to walk the dog, she never came back. I passed out watching TV in the living room. My father had been guarding me from the door, so I missed the chance to go out and make food. When I finally woke up five days later, the food in my house was rotten to the point of ranting. In order to save me a mouthful of food, my father ate a rancid meal and almost passed out from sickness. After that, I went out on my own to figure out a way to survive until the day the army arrived. I remember that you live in the Green Source area, right? I saw one like you in the carriage in the Xiang Lake, I didn't dare to recognize him. I didn't expect it really to be you. "

"And is your father well?" Lin Xin had never thought that she would be able to meet and have a pleasant chat with her unhappy colleagues in the past. Fate was truly a wonderful thing.

He said that he would be able to build a mountain and hunt tigers himself, but the addiction is unbearable. My mom always wanted him to drink less, but now that she's gone, my dad has stopped drinking.

She secretly wiped her tears with the back of her hand and said with a smile, "You should be very happy right now. As soon as I saw you, I wanted to come out and say hello, and I wanted to say I'm sorry. I've also said bad things about you behind my back. When you left that day, I didn't think the consequences would be this serious. "I'm sorry."

"It's alright, it's all in the past now." Lin Xin was only a friend to her, so what made her most sad were the betrayal she thought were her friends. How could he be lucky if he lost? If not for the events that happened at that time, she would still be on duty, caught unprepared by the attack of the apocalypse. Without those three months of training, how could she have the luck to survive the disaster?

If she were to seriously consider it, she should say thank you to those people who had let her down, thank them for harming her, and let her become stronger and more confident.

Gu Cheng had originally thought that this woman who had suddenly appeared would use this opportunity to shed a few tears to earn Lin Xin's sympathy, hoping to obtain some benefits from her. Hearing that she had been in a coma for five days after the meteor shower, he became somewhat interested.

In his previous life, he had heard that there was a special ability squad composed entirely of women. The leader of the team was a woman named Sister Ling. When the apocalypse came, she fell into a deep sleep for five days. Afterwards, she was scratched by a zombie during a base mission, but her wound didn't get infected. Within ten minutes, it was completely healed. The national scientific team had specifically isolated her and observed her for half a year. Although they hadn't done any cruel experiments with her, the scientists had forgotten that she still had an old father who was left unattended outside. When she finally escaped from the laboratory, it was a stranger who opened the door. Her father was both anxious and desperate after she was taken, and in a few days he had starved to death. After the body was sent to the cremation site by the security team that came to collect the rent, it was hastily buried in the cemetery outside the base and could not be found.

At that time, Lin Xin enviously said that if only she could have the same skills as them. At that time, Gu Cheng had wanted to tell her that he would protect her, but in the end, he hadn't said anything.

He interrupted their conversation, took out a few crystal cores from his pocket, and handed them over to Mei Ling.

"It was dug out from the brain of a zombie. If you're not afraid, then eat it and try it."

Hearing this, Mei Ling was stunned, she looked at the two bright and beautiful people in front of her, she had long since noticed the man beside Lin Xin, he looked at everyone else coldly, his face expressionless, only when he looked at Lin Xin, would his eyes feel warm. She looked at Lin Xin, who was obviously being meticulously cared for. Before the apocalypse, the two of them were like two delicate flowers that couldn't be compared to the rest of the department. Every time she was compared with Lin Xin, she would always be unwilling to accept it.

Knowing that something had happened to her, she was secretly happy. Until the apocalypse arrived, she had experienced the same situation as Lin Xin several times. It was only then that she realized how disgusting her attitude had been. She was also a bullied weakling. This time, when she saw Lin Xin, she impulsively ran up to her and recognized her. Now, she began to notice that her entire body was dirty, and the sweater she was wearing had long since been made into a ball. That was probably what he was thinking.

Another dark thought flashed through his mind, did this man who was holding Lin Xin in his arms know that Lin Xin had been killed by someone else? She suddenly realized how ugly her thoughts were. She looked at Lin Xin and ran away in panic.

Lin Xin thought she ran away because she was afraid that the core had poison. As for Gu Cheng, he was well aware of the ugliness of human nature. How could he miss the malicious intent that flashed through her eyes? He coldly snorted and withdrew the crystal core. Next time, he wouldn't let Lin Xin have anything to do with this woman. He knew what she wanted to say. Destroying the relationship between him and Lin Xin was of no benefit to her. He had always doubted the mindset of people who did things that hurt others but didn't benefit themselves. Perhaps it was because they couldn't bear to see others live better than themselves and enjoy the feeling of destroying 'beauty'.

It was simply abnormal! It was rare for him to gain a benevolent heart. Even Lin Xin, who he had criticized as the Holy Mother in his previous life, hadn't asked him to help her this time. Feeling disgusted by his bad mood, Gu Cheng tightened his face all the way. He was sulking with himself, his appearance filled with hostility causing those who passed by to jump in fright.

Lin Xin didn't know how Mei Ling had angered him. Along the way, she would tease him from time to time, which made his mood a little better. Who said that a woman's heart is like an undersea needle? A man's heart isn't inferior in the slightest.

Fortunately, in the following days, they never met Mei Ling again. Gu Cheng had heard Mr Liu and the rest mention it before. Recently, he had discovered a woman secretly collecting zombie cores just like them. He had encountered one before during a quest. When killing zombies, its strength was great and its speed was also very fast. It was even stronger than a man.

There were also many adepts in the temporary base. Most of them had fainted on the night of the meteor shower. On their way to the base to fight zombies, they accidentally discovered their "special ability". Under its continuous usage and enhancement, a group of First Order Adepts had finally appeared. There were those who used their superpower to clean up the zombies every day, but there were also those who relied on their superpower to run rampant in the base. There were even groups of people who would go around the patrol at night to directly rob them. They would ruthlessly gang up on them and even kill both the husband and wife.

This group of people appeared and disappeared like ghosts, and no one could clearly see how many of them were there. The base's security team couldn't do anything about them either. When Gu Cheng heard that the other three families had mentioned this before, his heart raced. Those group of people had been active in the east and central regions all this time, their sights set on the 'rich people'. It was likely that they would soon move to the southern region where Gu Cheng's group resided. He had no interest in becoming a police officer of the world. However, if he disturbed their peace and quiet, Gu Cheng had no objection to sending these people to where they were supposed to go.

Just as he had expected, late the next night, Gu Cheng's spiritual force, which had been focused in the southern region, detected a short scream, but it was quickly blocked off by someone else and not a single sound could be heard. Once again, he was certain that the cabin's protective barrier was unbreakable. He kissed Lin Xin on the cheek. The hero who sets out should receive an additional reward.

Following the guidance of his spiritual force, he teleported quickly towards the house. The southern region was a typical tile house. Gu Cheng's body was as light as a feather as he nimbly landed on the layers of brittle tiles, yet did not emit any sound. He looked inside the room. The three men were each searching for something to eat, and the other, who seemed to be the leader, made a gesture with one hand and stopped the family of three lying on the bed.

Gu Cheng suspected that he was also a psychic, but felt that that was unlikely. The four people in the room seemed to have just reached the First Order. When their Discipline reached the First Order, they could only scout out the surroundings for a few hundred meters. They didn't have the strength to control three people with one hand like this man had. As for the other three, one was water, one was wood, and one was earth. They weren't very powerful either.

The three of them had already finished searching for food. Gu Cheng wanted to wait until they had all left the house before making his move, in case they ended up dirtying the house with blood. The leader said in disdain, "That's all? I originally wanted to let you all go, but Dong Zi, take their daughter away. It's time for her to be tender, we'll go back and slaughter the hotpot. "

"Good! I haven't smelled any meat for almost half a month!" As he spoke, he moved to grab the person on the bed.

One of the few people that Gu Cheng hated the most was someone who ate sour meat. His heart was set on fire as he instantly released four thin blades. The three of them immediately died, but the leader seemed to have noticed something and dangerously dodged to the side while feeling a sharp pain in his right eye. The thin blade that should have pierced his forehead, because he tilted his head and rubbed his right eye, even though he had saved his life, his eyes were blind.

Clutching his bleeding eye, he realized that all three of them were dead. He knew that he had hit a tough target, so he immediately wanted to escape. As soon as he opened the door, he saw the black-clothed Life Snatching Raksha standing under the cold moonlight. He didn't have a single inch of iron in his hand, and also didn't know how he had been able to kill three of them with a single strike.

"Spare my life, good man. I have offended you. You, my lord, have a lot of things. If you let my brother go, I, Kui Da, will not kill you in the future."

He kept kowtowing and begging for mercy. Everyone in the room had woken up, and his mistress couldn't help but scream when she stepped on the corpse under the bed.

Taking advantage of this, Kui Da suddenly leapt forward, his right hand releasing an ability, colorless and without sensation. If not for the fact that Gu Cheng was already at the seventh level of the Spiritual Element, he would have almost fallen for Gu Cheng's trick.

He snorted disdainfully. "It's not worth dying for." Before that superpower could even touch his shoes, Gu Cheng had already teleported behind him.

The thin blade drilled into the back of his head. A moment later, a faint trace of blood flowed out from the small hole in his forehead. Within minutes, it was frozen by the cold night.

After Gu Cheng had finished cleaning up the four of them, he lazily paid attention to the four of them and their companions. These small matters were all things that the base's security forces should do. He had wasted so much time on these rotten people, he really missed Lin Xin who was sleeping peacefully in their little house. When she returned home, sure enough, she was still sleeping. However, she was frowning slightly, and her sleep was not very stable.

Gu Cheng caressed her hair. Lin Xin, who had been soothed in her sleep, had finally regained her breath. He looked at her for a moment longer, then lay down on his bunk. In his half asleep state, he sensed that something was secretly peeking around. He thought that it was just his imagination; there was a barrier that only Lin Xin and Gu Cheng could enter. He checked again, feeling worried. Everything was normal, so he didn't think much of it. Soon, he fell asleep.

The next morning at eight o'clock, Lin Xin, who was in bed, did not wake up like usual and ask him for breakfast. Gu Cheng thought that her laziness had flared up and allowed her ten minutes. After a while, when she still had not woken up yet, Gu Cheng felt that something was amiss. He called out to her several times, but she was still unable to wake up. Anxiously, he tested the temperature of her forehead. There was no sign of fever. This time he really panicked and ran to the nearby adults, all surrounding Lin Xin to feel the temperature, pinch her, feed her Jiang Tangshui, and try anything else. Lin Xin still slept soundly and had no reaction at all.

"This child, just what sort of beautiful dream did he have that he couldn't bear to wake up?!" Gu Cheng was about to die from anxiety. Xiao Lin, wake up quickly if you hear Grandma Liu's words. If you don't wake up, Little Gu will go crazy. "

Lin Xin was indeed dreaming, but it was not the beautiful dream that Grandma Liu had. In her dream, she was unable to escape from the accident and was knocked unconscious by that drunk before she woke up. Beside her, there was a group of people who were all pointing at her while watching the show. So many people, let her clothes lie in pieces, no one borrowed a piece of clothing to cover her shame, besides the surprised voice, also the sound of the cell phone flash. She wanted to cry, but she couldn't. There were several wounds on her body, all from broken beer bottles. Lin Xin looked at the person beside her numbly. He had already fallen asleep from drunkenness. Suddenly, she felt a sharp piece of glass in her palm. Without thinking, she sliced towards that person's neck. Unfortunately, she miscalculated her body's coordination. Before she could touch it, she fell down. The glass fragments stabbed into her legs, which were stained with dried blood, but they didn't hurt at all. Someone was shouting murder, killing, and she laughed sarcastically, her raised hand suddenly gripped by someone, and a middle-aged man in a police uniform was looking at her with pity in his eyes.

"Don't let this kind of person ruin your life. It's not worth it."

Did she even have such a thing in her life? Stunned eyes moved to the drunk who had been carried away, she screamed and struggled. The policeman was afraid that if she moved any more, more glass would hit her. Knowing where the knots were, he immediately switched to another policewoman to comfort her. Because of her extreme emotional instability, and because she had no relatives to contact, the policemen who took pity on her had sent her to a counseling facility.

Lin Xin received a short period of peace from there. Soon, she found photos that were all over the internet, initially with mosaic, but later the original map appeared in the H city's newspaper — temporary workers' work failures, haha, Lin Xin laughed. Fate was so unfair to her, it wasn't her fault, but innocent people who took on all the ridicule and insults from the world.

When she left for the office, she was stopped by a male colleague she had refused. She picked up a knife hidden in her sleeve and poked him.

"Isn't it just a piece of trash that has been toyed with before? What is there to be proud of!" Do you believe that your father will not leave you alive?! "

"Then do you believe that I'll stab you to death?"

Lin Xin looked at her crazed gaze in the mirror and left.

She had peeked at the man's address when the statement was made, and since the case had not yet been decided, the family had used their connections to get her home. The little policewoman who had initially comforted her told her falteringly that the case might be decided lightly.

Lin Xin knew that with a few years of probation and a few years ahead of schedule, there were too many operability options for small cases. She was just an orphan girl, and in the end, she still couldn't compete with reality. However, she was not convinced! She was not willing! After following the man for two days, she made her first move. She had been waiting at home for someone to come and capture her. Who would have thought that the apocalypse would come?

In order to survive, she had gone into the residential complex a few times. However, when the woman opposite saw this, she did not save her. Who was the savior of this world?

During this period of time, there were also people who touched her house's gate like the men in the building opposite, but they were all thrown downstairs by her to feed the zombies.

They all said she was crazy, she knew. The world had gone mad. She wasn't crazy. She could only allow herself to be slaughtered.

After several months of waiting, the troops finally arrived.

The woman in front of her hooked her fingers. Lin Xin walked over with a mocking expression on her face. She didn't have the same level of caution as the man in front of her.

When she woke up again, the thing that was pressing down on her was a nightmare. She had struggled, bitten, the smell of blood and flesh filling her throat.

"Bitch!" That person ruthlessly slapped her, his forehead knocking against the armrest of the bus chair, warm liquid dripping down his head, the world in front of Lin Xin's eyes was dyed red.

She knew she was crazy, at times, at times. Every day, when he was awake, he would pinch a piece of metal and grind it on the back of the car until it became sharp.

When the zombie tide arrived, she was using this small piece of metal to cut open a person's throat. Her laughable mouth was wide open and she was no longer able to call out a broken shoe.

There were zombies everywhere outside, and the team of zombies were either dead or injured. No one noticed what she was doing. Lin Xin dragged the person and threw him in front of the car. She took off her bloodstained coat and opened the luggage compartment of the bus, hiding inside for a day and a night.

Dongfang Bai. When she came out, there was a faint smell of blood in the air. Looking around, the dry yellow straw was blown about by the wind.

Even the wind is freer than me. As she thought about it, she didn't know which way to go. A soft moan came from the corner as she brushed away the remnants of the zombie meat. The face of Gu Cheng was covered in blood as he glared at her with his pair of bright eyes.

A moment later, he closed his eyes again.

Lin Xin didn't even call him Ru Yi. After digging him out, her legs were broken and she couldn't even be bothered to do anything about it. She dragged him all the way through the dried up paddy fields.

The dream had come to this but was broken. Lin Xin really wanted to know what happened to them afterwards, but it was a pity that this nightmare returned to the beginning, that summer night.

No, I have to wake up! She stabbed herself with pieces of glass from her dream and cut herself with a blade. In her dream, she was as ignorant as a doll and only came back to feel pain when she encountered them. She had experienced these long nightmares more than ten times. Lin Xin felt that she had really gone mad.

The last time she had dug out Gu Cheng, she had called out to him in her dream and finally seized control of his body.

Gently wiping the blood from his face, she lowered her head slowly and kissed his pale lips.

"You are the only beautiful memory in this dream."

She sighed, opened her eyes, and suddenly realized that she was really awake. In the familiar small room, with the lights on, she was in a trance. She was a little late when she realized that she was being held by someone else. There was someone else on the bed.

Lin Xin jumped in fright. She subconsciously wanted to bite and resist, but her natural aversion towards men returned. Then, she recognized the person holding her was Gu Cheng.

He seemed very tired, and it was only when she turned around that he woke up, looked her up and down in disbelief, and finally made sure she was all right, and woke up.

The extremely excited Gu Cheng didn't notice that Lin Xin, who had been hugged tightly by him, had instinctively turned stiff.

"You've been sleeping for three days and three nights and you still haven't woken up. Lin Xin, don't lie in bed anymore …" There was warm liquid running down her neck. She lowered her eyes and slowly touched his back.

"Gu Cheng, do you believe that there's a previous life?"

The body under his palm was stunned for a moment. "What kind of nightmare did you have?"

Lin Xin emerged from his embrace, her hands supporting his face like she was in a dream. The new beard on her chin was a little knotted. Gu Cheng was currently staring at her, his gaze much gentler than the eyes in his dreams.

"You probably owed me quite a bit in your previous life, right? You're the one who treats me so well in this life."

"Maybe." Gu Cheng smiled as he embraced her. The two of them casually ate on the bed, unwilling to part for even a moment.

Gu Cheng had told her that she had been bitten by the 'Bewitching Cicada'. The next day, Gu Cheng had once again used his spiritual force to search the area, only to discover this despicable thing under their coats. Quetta's special ability was to control all sorts of mutated insects. Back then, he had used his special ability to confuse Gu Cheng, while secretly releasing the Voodoo Cicada. Buggy stuck to his shoes and followed him home. Gu Cheng's psychic abilities were too strong, so Buggy picked Lin Xin, who was easy to deal with.

After being bitten by this bug, it was said that the injured person would fall into a deep slumber and continuously dream the opposite of what they were actually dreaming. The more painful the life, the more sweet the dream, the less willing to be awake. And the happier one was, the more desperate the dream became. The recurrent nightmares were enough to destroy the minds of most people.

There was nothing Gu Cheng could do about it. He could only watch helplessly as Lin Xin suffered from a pain that he could not share for her in his dreams. In the end, he couldn't hold it in any longer, so he carried her, who refused to wake up, to sleep with him. It was as if he wouldn't lose her like this.

Fortunately, Lin Xin finally woke up.

Gu Cheng did not return to his bunk bed that night. Lin Xin was afraid to sleep so she prepared to stay up late.

Gu Cheng, who had rarely seen her recuperate, had no objections to this. After connecting her laptop to the electricity supply, Lin Xin leaned against the wall with the laptop in hand, watching a movie on her own. Gu Cheng was fast asleep with his head against her waist. He had woken up several times to check if she was still here. With just a thought, he was already able to detect Lin Xin's condition.

Lin Xin knew that he didn't have a sense of security. After the initial resistance, she gradually gained the upper hand over him. So even if he made her uncomfortable by leaning his head against herself-- because a casual movement of his would disturb his rest, she restrained herself from avoiding it.

It didn't matter whether those dreams were real or fake.

Now they were living a good life, and that was enough.
