Apocalypse 8

After driving for more than 4 hours, the convo finally arrived at their destination. Mounting off their car, a tall and majestic building came into view. If only there's no dried blood splattered on it and zombies loitering around, it'll look like a great building.The noises attracted the zombies' attention. Seeing them coming, the teams entered battle mode, except for one team."Aren't we going to fight, captain?"Ye Hua and the others looked at Haoyu who stood with his hands in his pocket. His posture doesn't seem like someone who are going to fight at all. Haoyu has an air of laziness covering his entire body. He looked at the other two teams who kill zombies lazily."Look at that, do they looked like they need help?"Ye Hua and the others looked at the battlefield and smiled beningly. They nodded.As expected of captain. He's delegating his job to others efficiently.Ye Hua shook his head, "Still, we need to kill some. They'll accuse us useless!"Haoyu thought for a moment, then pointed at the incoming zombies with his chin."True, go kill those. Count it as your training today."The twins' eyes lit up. Without any words, they shot like an arrow to the incoming zombies with bright eyes. Fire and wind swirled and mixed together and shot up to countless direction, burning the zombies within their vicinity. Although there's no smile on their face, an air of joy and cheerfulness can be felt from them. Ye Hua and Feng Yu sweated watching this, then decide to go to other direction."Old Gu, let's go there instead.""Kahaha! Alright, alright!"The three of them entered battle. Ye Hua used his earth ability to attack the zombies while creating a dome to protect old Gu. Feng Yu's water ability were hovering in the air, shaping into a spear before shooting to the zombies like a rain of arrows. Everytime they were injured, old Gu would heal them in time.While the five of them slaughter zombies, their captain were leaning to the car and lazily observed the battle and environment around. His eyes were calm and he even looked lazy, but his mind raced as countless information poured and processed in his brain. Ye Hua's ability advanced, need more training in shaping.Feng Yu needs power training.The twins' doing good, I'll give them energy crystal later.Old Gu's doing well too... Oh, he just advanced one level. Good.After checking his team, his eyes moved and looked at the others. A man with tall and particularly cold and intimidating demeanor, accompanied with a soft and petite man.It's the protagonist of this world, Qing Yue and Chu Yang. Qing Yue used his lightning ability to turn the zombies into crisp while Chu Yang used his ability to amplify Qing Yue's ability. In short, Qing Yue is the damage dealer and Chu Yang is the buff support. The others in his team were either a damage dealer or people with support ability like Feng Yu. They fought pretty well, as one expected of protagonist's team.While the other one...Gu Yichen and his team fought well. Even better than the protagonist's team. Their formation is neat and their teamwork is seamless with individual powers that can't be underestimated. Gu Yichen used his ice ability to halt the zombies' movements and create ice spear to attack them, while his team members used various abilities that compliment each other's fighting style. Haoyu's eyes were tinged with interest and pride.As expected of my other half, he's extraordinary.The pain in his soul decreased as he looked at Yichen's busy figure.BOOM!! BOOM--!!!!The ground shake. Haoyu closed his eyes for a moment, then looked at the source of the sound with tired eyes. There he saw two figures enveloped by smokescreen. The two figures were paused for a moment, then ran to Haoyu. They stopped right in front of him and saluted with a straight face."Mission complete.""Training complete."Haoyu looked at the two young man in front of him in silence. Then nodded lightly."Yeah, good job."His voice were mixed with laziness and helplessness. The twins who received his approval were happy. They stand next to Haoyu with the same stoic expression, but their eyes were bright with obvious joy.Gu Yichen in front were looking back, watching their interaction with a cold expression. His eyes were tinged with confusion as he feels strange throb in his heart. When he's about to catch the fleeting feeling, the zombies around took back his attention and he need to focus on the battle at hand. Haoyu noticed the fleeting glance. His soul were soaked in a warm spring comfortably and his heart sped up. Fortunately, he still maintained his calm and lazy appearance and managed to not looked at the source of the glance. When the glance disappears, the warm feeling also faded. Haoyu can't help but feel a bit of disappointment. He closed his eyes.It's okay. Let's take things slowly.Ye Hua, Fang Yu, and old Gu also finished cleaning up and returned to Haoyu and stand aside while waiting for the other two teams to finish.After waiting a while, they finally entered the lab. Inside, Haoyu ordered his team to clean up to speed up the process. They walked smoothly and found a lot of useful machine and tools. Haoyu walked and stops next to Yichen. "All of them?"Gu Yichen were startled, but then nodded and replied with an equally cold and stoic voice."Yes.""Alright."Haoyu asked Ye Hua and the others to pick up things they can, while he used his space ability to move and store them in his space inventory. With a wave of his hand, the heavy machines and tools in front of him were hovering in the air, then disappeared. Gu Yichen looked at the man next to him with surprise."You're a space ability user.""Yes. Point, I'll help you store them."Gu Yichen blinked. He's confused as to why this man seems to be keen in helping him. But he won't refuse. Yichen nodded and thanked him softly, then points at the things they need to bring back. Haoyu immediately store them. His face were straight, even mixed with laziness. But his eyes were darkened, mixed with complicated feelings. If not for his great self-control, his image would crumble. He almost trembled like a pervert from the joy of hearing yichen's voice.I've never have even imagined I would be like this if I fell in love with someone. Our red string can't explain this reaction! Turns out I'm such a hopeless man... I'm so embarrassed that I want to bury myself! Mother, this is not we have talked about!!!"Thank you. Um..."Gu Yichen's cold voice pulled Haoyu to reality. Hearing his awkward pause, he know that this man doesn't know his name. His straight face seems even cuter when he's feeling awkward. Haoyu were praising Yichen for his cuteness in his mind, but he answered Yichen normally as if he's not thinking anything degrading."Zhang Wei.""Yes, thank you, Mr. Zhang.""..."Haoyu were silent. Something flashed in his mind, before he can infer it, his mouth has moved on their own."Can you call me Haoyu?"Gu Yichen blinked in confusion, but still called out with a cold, but soft voice."Haoyu?"THUMP--!Haoyu's heart shot by an arrow, giving him a critical hit. His head went blank as his heart sped up, thumping fast like a drum. The tips of his ears reddened, hidden under his hair. His soul were fluttering in joy and bliss. He can only uttered a low hum from his tightened throat to the worried Yichen. His head were completely blank, he didn't even know how he lay on the make-up bed in the corner of the now-empty laboratorium. His team and the others took care of the night watch while he lay on the bed. Unknowingly, his eyes closed and slowly drifted into the dreamland, carrying the warm and fluffy feelings in his heart........Small theater:Ye Hua: Whispering to Feng Yu, "What's wrong with captain?"Feng Yu: Also whispering, "He looks unusually dumb..."Old Gu: Slapping his thigh as he laughed, "Kahaha! What else if not love? He must have been hit in the heart."The twins: Looking confused and shocked, "Captain has a heart???"Gu Yichen who heard their conversation: Glancing at the sleeping man from time to time with curiosity.
