"Ah? Why can’t team members date?" Nie Zhen'er asked in surprise.



"This rule was actually set by the captain before you joined the squadron,"



Luan Qing Xiao sighed, "Originally, Captain had a childhood sweetheart in our squadron. Captain had a secret crush on her, but that girl fell in love with another member within the team. In the end, she left with that member, causing the captain to be heartbroken. Since then, he has been stipulated that squadron members aren’t allowed to date."



"But Lieutenant, why are you so indifferent to me when the captain is present? We’re not even dating." Nie Zhen'er tilted her head, looking at Luan Qing Xiao with confused eyes, and asked.



Luan Qing Xiao leaned close to her, breathing on Nie Zhen'er's face. Her eyes were filled with ambiguous, "Do you really don’t know why?"



Nie Zhen'er, with a reddish cheek, whispered softly, "I-I don't know."



"Little liar." Luan Qing Xiao smiled and kissed her on the tip of her nose, "Because I like you and want to date you. In order not to be discovered by the captain, I can only treat you indifferently in front of him."



Nie Zhen'er was stunned, "Lieutenant, you, like me?" What-what what should I do? My heartbeat is so fast! Why do I find Lieutenant so attractive, do I like her too?



But what is liking someone like? She’s a zombie, while Luan Qing Xiao is a human. Can they really be together?



Nie Zhen'er held her chest with hesitation on her face.



Luan Qing Xiao squeezed her tender cheeks and assured gently, "It's okay. You have time to think about whether you want to be with me."



Nie Zhen'er stared at Luan Qing Xiao's face in a daze. The fragrance from Luan Qing Xiao's body filled her nose, "I, I'm still not sure yet. Can you wait for me a little longer, Lieutenant?" Nie Zhen'er exclaimed, "I can’t determine my own feelings in such a short amount of time." She couldn't refuse Luan Qing Xiao, however she was afraid that she would harm her unconsciously. Only after she was sure she wouldn’t harm Luan Qing Xiao, would she dare to allow herself to like her.



"I will always be waiting for you."



"Then if we don’t date, would you still be so gentle to me?" Nie Zhen'er tugged on Luan Qing Xiao's hand.



Luan Qing Xiao thought for a while. Seeing that Nie Zhen'er was getting anxious, she said, "Of course I will be gentle with you in private. But in front of the captain, I will ignore you like before."



"Zhen’er, can you cooperate with me? If the captain finds that I like you, I can't stay in the same team with you." Luan Qing Xiao said pitifully.



"Certainly, I’ll absolutely cooperate with you!" Nie Zhen'er couldn't bear to see her current appearance, and immediately expressed her attitude, "Don't worry, I will definitely not let the captain find out."



"Thank you, Zhen'er! You’re so kind, I really didn't like the wrong person." Luan Qing Xiao opened her arms and hugged Nie Zhen'er lightly. Before Nie Zhen'er could react, she quickly released her from the embrace.



"Lieutenant, you’re also very kind." Nie Zhen'er lowered her eyes embarrassedly, not daring to look at Luan Qing Xiao again. She was afraid her heart would jump out of her throat in excitement.



The zombie leader was exactly the same as humans in appearance and internal structure. They have a beating heart and the blood in their blood vessels can also flow as well. The only way to distinguish between the zombie queen and humans was to open the brain to see if there is a crystal nucleus inside.



No matter how humans thought about it, the zombie queen was still a zombie in the end. Its life depends on the crystal nucleus in their head.



Luan Qing Xiao put her index finger between Nie Zhen'er's red lips, "Call me Qing Xiao in private."



Nie Zhen'er froze. She hesitated for a long time before finally whispering, "Qing Xiao."



Luan Qing Xiao responded with a smile, "Yeah."



The two rested for a while, and then began to collect the crystal nuclei from the brains of the killed zombies.



Luan Qing Xiao took out a cloth bag. She had Nie Zhen'er hold open the cloth bag and follow her, "Since you don't like the flesh and blood of zombies, I’ll get the cores. You’re in charge of helping me keep the bag open."



Nie Zhen'er nodded, feeling sweet in her heart, and couldn't help showing a lovely smile to Luan Qing Xiao.



Luan Qing Xiao saw it and smiled back.



Luan Qing Xiao controlled her water ability to create various shapes of tools to dig out the crystal  from the zombie's head, cleaned it, and then tossed them into the bag in Nie Zhen'er's hand.



The two assisted each other tacitly and managed to collect half a bag full of crystal nuclei in a short time.



Luan Qing Xiao listened and didn’t hear any roar of a zombie nearby. She said to Nie Zhen'er, "Captain probably is also almost done over there, let's head to the second floor."



In fact, except those zombies who were already killed by Nie Zhen'er, the others on the first floor had been forced upstairs.



Since she was afraid Luan Qing Xiao was tired, when they arrived on the second floor, after the two killed around the same zombies as on the first floor, Luan Qing Xiao couldn’t see any zombies, nor did she hear the sound of more zombies.



Nie Zhen'er used her zombie radar, and couldn’t feel any zombies within ten meters, "We probably kill all the zombies."



Luan Qing Xiao nodded, "Let's go out then."



The Level 2 zombie has a certain degree of wisdom. So it felt the faint coercion of Nie Zhen'er from ten meters plus away, and recalled most of the zombies back to surround itself. Liang Yan and Luo Zi Lin went in the opposite direction of Nie Zhen'er and just happened to stray into the swarm of zombies summoned by the Level 2 zombie.



Seeing at least a hundred zombies in front of him when he pushed open the door, Liang Yan turned around and ran while pulling Luo Zi Lin’s hand.



The Level 2 zombie controlled the group of zombies to chase behind them, causing Liang Yan to speed up as he gritted his teeth.



If there were only ten or twenty zombies, Liang Yan could have killed them all unscathed. However right now there were at least a hundred zombies, rushing to bite him together, he really can't block all of them. Therefore, the best strategy was for them to run away.



Luo Zi Lin's physical fitness was average, so after she was dragged around by Liang Yan, she almost couldn't stand up again.



She tried her best to follow behind Liang Yan. Looking around, Luo Zi Lin tried to find the warehouse where Liang Yan and Nie Zhen'er hid in the book.



After running for who knows how long, just as Luo Zi Lin couldn’t hold on any longer, she finally saw the same door as described in the book, "Captain, let's go to that door!" Luo Zi Lin shouted loudly, "There’s a warehouse that has no zombies!"



Liang Yan didn't have time to ask Luo Zi Lin how she knew there were no zombies inside. If he didn't enter the door and continued running, his stamina would definitely run out and be caught by the zombies. Liang Yan ground his teeth and chose to listen to Luo Zi Lin. He opened the door and ran in. Once inside, Liang Yan immediately closed the door and locked the three bolts from the inside.



"Huff huff-" Luo Zi Lin collapsed to the ground with soft legs.



Liang Yan's stamina was much better than her, so he found a wooden box and sat down to rest.



The warehouse is very small, with only a small window open enough for a cat to pass through and some faint moonlight to spill in from the window.



After Luo Zi Lin adjusted her breathing, Liang Yan stared at her face, "How do you know that there are no zombies in this warehouse?"



Luo Zi Lin didn't expect Liang Yan to ask this. Her expression froze as the gears in her brain turned, and she said with a guilty conscience, "Just from seeing the door, I knew the warehouse was tiny. Even if there were zombies, there shouldn't be too many. We can just get rid of them after we come in… ..."



She still didn’t answer Liang Yan's question. Liang Yan asked her how she knew there were no zombies, yet she replied that there wouldn’t be too many zombies, which could be easily solved.



Liang Yan suppressed the suspicion in his heart. He nodded, "There are too many zombies outside, for now we can't get out. We can only wait for the zombies to leave, or someone to kill all the zombies to save us..." No matter which outcome , the odds of either were quite small.



The only destructive power teammates on their squadron were Luan Qing Xiao and Nie Zhen'er. However, the two of them combined weren’t as powerful as Liang Yan, so Liang Yan didn't hold any hope of being rescued by his teammates.



As for waiting for the zombies to leave, there was less hope of that than waiting for Luan Qing Xiao to save them.



As long as the zombies could smell the smell of him and Luo Zi Lin, it was impossible for them to leave.



Liang Yan sighed. He never expected that he would die here.



He hadn't even made Nie Zhen'er fall in love with him, nor did he wait for Luan Qing Xiao to become the "Luan Qing Xiao" of the previous world, yet he was about to die now.



Luo Zi Lin didn't seem worried at all. She endured the joyfulness  in her heart as she got up from the ground and sat down next to Liang Yan. With a roll of the eyeball, she gently comforted Liang Yan, "Captain, I’m sure someone will come to rescue us."



Liang Yan didn't understand where her self-confidence came from, and nodded perfunctorily.



At this moment, Luo Zi Lin suddenly smiled bashfully, "Captain, can-can I call you Ah Yan?"



Liang Yan, "..." We’re almost dead, why is there a need to change the way she addressed him? This Luo Zi Lin was getting stranger and stranger.



Luo Zi Lin also didn't need Liang Yan's consent. She had already called out "Ah Yan, Ah Yan" on her own.



"Ah Yan, what’s the first thing you want to do after we go out?"



Liang Yan, "... ..." The first thing he wanted to do after he managed to survive was probably to seize Luo Zi Lin for interrogation to see if she was occupied by some evil spirit.



Luo Zi Lin didn't wait for Liang Yan's answer as she encouraged herself internally. She stretched out her hand and grabbed Liang Yan's hand to place it on her chest, “Ah Yan, listen."



Liang Yan, "... ..." With such an m*therf*cking soft mound, what can he hear?



Liang Yan, who only had a crush on Nie Zhen'er for two worlds, blushed.



"Ah Yan, my heart’s beating so fast. Do you know why?" Luo Zi Lin asked softly.



"I don't know." Liang Yan uttered dryly.



"Ah Yan, heartbeats will only speed up when you are in front of someone you like," Luo Zi Lin gave Liang Yan a coquettish glance, a little shyly, "It’s because I like you."



Liang Yan: "... ..." I don't know what to say at all. My mind is so confused, why is this so soft!



Seeing Liang Yan didn't respond to her, Luo Zi Lin wondered if she needed to be bolder.



She released Liang Yan's hand, and Liang Yan immediately withdrew it back.



"Ah Yan, I-I want to give you a hug." Luo Zi Lin closed her eyes and opened her hands to hug Liang Yan.



Liang Yan didn't react in time, and forgot to avoid it.



Who knows when the roar of zombies outside the door gradually disappeared as a loud bang sounded and the door was directly kicked open.



A group of people stood at the door staring dumbly at the pair of couple embracing each other.



Nie Zhen'er asked Luan Qing Xiao in a low voice, "Why can the captain date with his team members?" Doesn't she say that dating  within the team wasn’t allowed?



Luan Qing Xiao, "... ..." My feelings are too complicated, I don't know how to answer either.



Once Luan Qing Xiao and Nie Zhen'er exited the supermarket, they found out Liang Yan’s team hadn't come out yet. She didn't want to care about the male lead, but 520 said that the male lead was the support pillar of this world and must live. Once he dies, the world will collapse.



It happened that the people from A Base came here to perform their mission. They successfully came in along with them to find their leader, only to see this scene.
