Chapter 88.2: Cannon Fodder In The Post-Apocalyptic World (17)
A slight blush appeared on Zhou JiaTong’s face. It was not uncommon for a woman in the base to be married to multiple men, but it was rare to see them openly expressing their intimacy in front of others. Behind her, a soldier wanted to urge them to enter the innermost quarantine area for protection, but she raised her hand to stop the displeased soldier and turned her gaze towards XI Wei, who was talking to Jing Yao.
While Gu MingYue was carried away by Su ShaoYuan and the others, Xi Wei and Jing Yao moved slightly away from the crowd and began to chat on the side.
Zhou JiaTong’s face relaxed significantly, as if a burden had finally been lifted from her heart. She finally confirmed that Xi Wei’s feelings towards Gu MingYue were purely that of friendship, because, after the initial embrace and concerned inquiries, he maintained a respectful distance and acted within the boundaries of friendship.
Unlike Zhou JiaTong, Gu MingYue, who was being passionately kissed by the men, didn’t relax at all and instead, diverted her attention to focus discreetly on Jing Yao and Xi Wei, observing their interaction.
Jing Yao’s eyes were clear as he was engaged in a low conversation with Xi Wei, as if afraid of being overheard by the people around them. Their voices were hushed, and even with Gu MingYue’s ears, she could only catch fragments of the conversation.
Basically, Xi Wei was inquiring about their situation on that day and the past two weeks, to which Jing Yao succinctly responded before continuing upon Gu MingYue’s physical condition as well.
Jing Yao’s words and actions seemed relatively normal, at least there was no overwhelming excitement that Gu MingYue had imagined him to possess when finally seeing Xi Wei again.
“Mmm…” The woman moaned softly as her lower abdomen was pressed upon by a swollen hardness, and she felt someone else’s hand gripping her buttocks.
“You deserve a punishment for not paying attention while kissing,” Bai JunFei said with lingering affection as he took a bite of Gu MingYue’s rosy lips longingly. Though he instantly caught sight of Jing Yao from the corner of his eye caught sight of Jing Yao, and their gazes collided in mid-air.
As their gazes met, Jing Yao’s eyes showed a hint of panic, or to be more precise, a guilty panic. He quickly blinked and averted his gaze, adjusting his expression as if nothing had happened, and continued his conversation with Xi Wei.
If Bai JunFei hadn’t been certain that he had caught Jing Yao’s expression just now, he might have thought that he had made a mistake in seeing his old friend in this current state.
The warmth of the woman in his arms still carried a hint of coolness, and Bai JunFei carefully examined Gu MingYue’s appearance for a while, instantly understanding and predicting what had happened in the past two weeks that the two were together.
What a dishonest man.
Bai JunFei’s lips curved up into a smile as he lowered his head and gently pinched Gu MingYue’s cheeks. He then discreetly rubbed against her with his lower body a few times, releasing her only when her cheeks turned red.
The joy of the reunion lingered in everyone’s hearts, and amidst the plan where the odds of death outweighed survival, during the two weeks of waiting for Gu MingYue and Jing Yao’s appearance, anxiety and frustration filled the members of the survivor group.
A journey that should have taken just one day had taken over a week, to the point that the group had almost given up hope and pessimistically assumed that the two had met with their misfortune. But it was at this moment that Gu MingYue and Jing Yao appeared unscathed at the outer perimeter of the base.
After the pessimism, the joy that followed was boundless. Not only were the members of the survivor group filled with joy, but the Western Survivor Base was also pleasantly surprised by the news of Gu MingYue and Jing Yao’s return. The elimination of two evolved zombies was the biggest news for the base in recent times, and now that the remaining two known potential threats had also been effectively dealt with, they were now given a limited time frame to prepare for the possibility of future crises, which was great news for the survivability of the entire base!
As heroes who successfully eliminated the last two evolved zombies, Gu MingYue and Jing Yao received a warm welcome from the high-ranking officials of the base. The other members of the survivor group had also been promoted by the base as exceptional individuals fighting for humanity in the post-apocalyptic world. In order to boost the morale of the military and instil confidence in the general population, the members of the survivor group reluctantly accepted these titles, even though the real hero deserving of such recognition was Xi Wei, who had dedicated himself to researching throughout.
Everyone understood that resolving the zombie problem completely required not just military force but also the contribution of scientific researchers. The base placed great importance on Xi Wei’s research and allocated a dedicated space for him in the base’s laboratory, where he worked alongside other scientists as they aimed to develop a vaccine as soon as possible.
