Apocalypse 7

After Yichen left, Qing Ruhuan resumed the conversation. He asked for a help in taking care of zombies and retrieve lab machines that the researched needed. Haoyu also regained his composure and almost broke his character design again when hearing that he'll join Yichen's team if he agreed.Fortunately, Haoyu still has great control in his expression and demeanor. He shook hands with Qing Ruhuan and go back to his room after reaching a satisfying term.On their way to the place they stay, Feng Yu asked Haoyu."Captain, did you fall in love?"Old Gu laughed, "Did the metal bar finally entered spring?"The twins, Tang Er and Tang Xi echoed each other's words."Love?""Spring?""Captain can fall in love?"At the end, they spoke at the same time with a confused frown. Haoyu's eyebrow twitched after hearing their words. His pace quickened."No, rest. We'll be busy tomorrow."Seeing his back disappearing rapidly, Old Gu and Feng Yun laughed together while Ye Hua and the twins smiled and chuckled lightly, clearly enjoying making fun of their captain.In the room, Haoyu sighed in relief. After cleaning up, he sat on his bed, his palm covering his beating heart.I found him.Mother, I found the reason I'm here.He looked at his hand. On his long and slender pinky finger is a red string wrapping itself around it. The string were tied in a simple, yet beautiful knot. The fate has officially start. The moment their eyes locked, the gears immediately moved.My soul trembled, recognizing him.That's my other half.Haoyu's eyes lowered, looking at the red string in deep thought. His mind was in a daze when a sudden pain attacked him.Squeeze-!His soul shook in pain. It's as if it were squeezed then hammered repeatedly. When a normal human's soul harmed, they'll immediately die. But Haoyu only suffered immense pain. He took a sharp breath as he bend down, clenching his left chest. His soul were tormented in immense pain.Drip- drip-Sweat drenched Haoyu's forehead, wetting his face, then dripped to the floor. Zero who saw the alert notification in its space quickly appeared.[Host?! Host! What's wrong?!]Haoyu pursed his pale lips. His mother's words flashed in his mind.Haoyu, when a ### locked eyes with their other half, their soul will recognize it immediately. Their fate officially began. Their red strings connected. The gears moved.But when the other half forget who they are, the one who remembers will bear the pain. Only if the two come together, as it should be, will the pain eased.At that time Haoyu answered perfunctorily as he's focused on his nap. But who knows that he will experienced it now.She definitely know it'll be like this.Haoyu chuckled lowly. Zero who observed its host worriedly shuddered. The man in front of it were clenching his chest until the veins in his arms popped out. His face were pale and drenched with sweat. He definitely looks miserable. But that sudden chuckle changed the genre into a horror movie.Zero concluded that since its host still can laugh, then he must be fine. So it excused itself and resumed its activity, collecting advices in the Uni starnet.In other place...Gu Yichen sat on the sofa, looking at the man in front of him with a blank face. The man wears a neat black shirt and long silk pants. His black shoes were clean. He looks like someone who came into a banquet, out of place from the current apocalypse world. Although so, his cold and intimidating aura did make him look poised and majestic. He's the protagonist gong of this world, Qing Yue, the son of the Qing base's leader."Yichen, I only asked you to let me join you on tomorrow's mission. I'll bring my own team and won't be a burden. But why are you keep refusing?""That's right, we only want to help you. The more ability user joined, the safer it is. Even more because the mission involved securing things."Gu Yichen's eyes moved to the man seated next to Qing Yue. If Qing Yue is intimidating and majestic, then the man next to him is gentle and soft. His brown eyes were bright, his lips always curved in a soft and gentle smile. He wears homely clothes such as shirt and sweater. His deep brown hair scattered softly on his forehead. Clean and warm. Such a person will make anyone feels warm and comfortable just by looking at him.Including Gu Yichen."Yes, but the leader only tasked team 1 and the team from military base in this mission. If you want to join, you need to report to the leader. I can't make a decision."Qing Yue took a deep breath, this guy is so stiff and suffocating!"FIne! I'll report to the leader tomorrow. Keep one position empty for me."Gu Yichen nodded then stands up, intending to go back and rest. When he just walked out of the door, Qing Yue followed him. Chu Yang looked at the back of the two of them with a gloomy eyes.Him again... I need to speed it up. I need to make him disappear quickly...Chu Yang's eyes swirled with intense emotion, dark and heavy. A certain memory flashed in his mind.The man he loved pull someone into his arms. The sweet and doting smile on his lips hurts Chu Yang's heart. He can only watch them wantonly shows their love without power.Chu Yang's face turn even paler. His heart were filled with hatred and jealousy.Gu Yichen...! It'll be either you or I die! His hands clenched into a fist, trembling on his knees.Outside of the door...Qing Yue grabbed Yichen's wrist and pull him to a corner. The distance between them were close."Gu Yichen, do you really don't want to come back to me?"Gu Yichen looked at the hand grabbing his wrist and feels uncomfortable in his heart. He took a step back and discreetly free his hand. Qing Yue's hands clenched after noticing his actions. His eyes darkened, no one has ever disobey his order before. Only this guy keep challenging his patience."Fine. Don't regret it."Qing Yue left him without waiting for his answer. Gu Yichen looked at his back with doubt and visible confusion. He shook his head, then resumed his way to the dormitory.After he left, Chu Yang who waits in the room with a gloomy face immediately flashed a big smile when QIng Yue came. His dark eyes were hidden behind the bright smile.....Morning arrived and groups of people were standing in one place. Haoyu, Gu Yichen, and Qing Yue discussed the things they need to do and confirm things with each other before separating and entered the car with their own team.The convo finally set out, leaving the base.In Haoyu's car, the atmosphere were lively. It's like going on a picnic rather than risking their life. Old Gu were laughing carelessly while Feng Yun and Ye Hua were gossiping together. The twins sat aside and watched all this chaos unfold, throwing a comment to each other from time to time. In contrast of the backseat, Haoyu, who drives, is cold and deserted. His eyes stays on the road, grinding zombies from time to time expressionlessly. The soldier in the passenger seat were smiling with a pale face.Fuck, why do I have to sit next to this Ashura incarnation?!Zero popped out and sat on Haoyu's shoulder.[Host, they have started to make a move.]Hearing this, Haoyu's finger tapped the steering wheel rhythmically. His lips curled up into a faint and light smirk.The soldier who witnessed all this quickly moved his eyes to the window. Although full of blood and questionable bloody pieces, his eyes were pasted on them as if he saw a beautiful scenery. His mind were chaotic.Someone's fucked up. They're screwed. Whoever you are, I send my condolences and prayers to you.The people in the backseat is unaware of the turmoil in the soldier's heart and were laughing happily. Zero, the only one with 'sane' mind shook its body in pity.This car is full of people with a screw off.
