Being distracted was a big taboo for bodyguards because they would be killed if they were not attentive. But recently, he was losing control of himself more and more, as if something was about to become undone, and he was powerless to stop it.
“Gu Zhao?”
“Gu Zhao?” Su Shanshan called out twice, but he did not respond, which was strange.
Then Gu Zhao reacted and replied quickly, “What’s wrong?”
“What’s wrong with you lately? You’re always wandering off. Are you feeling unwell somewhere?” Su Shanshan asked.
Gu Zhao shook his head. “I’m fine. What did you just say?”
Su Shanshan pointed to the stairs. “Let’s go down. We’ll leave as soon as we get what we need.”
Gu Zhao nodded, and the three of them headed downstairs. Just as they reached the stairway, they saw a dense crowd of zombies downstairs. The place they were currently at was a jewelry store, and the second floor was the VIP lounge. Normally, not many people were around in the lounge, so Su Shanshan felt safe taking them there. There were more people in the lobby downstairs.
Su Shanshan glanced at them and reached into her backpack. She took out a string of firecrackers from her space, lit them, and threw them outside the shop. All the zombies followed the sound.
They quickly rushed down. Before they went down, they heard Liu Zhixi’s voice.
“What? There are so many zombies down there. I’m not going down.”
“But, Missy, we’ll starve if we don’t get down there for food. Now that the zombies have been lured away, it’s our best chance.”
“Don’t.”
In the end, Cao Yunjin had no choice but to persuade the young lady to agree. However, the firecrackers had already stopped bursting. They were halfway there when the zombies surrounded them. They had to start fighting their way out.
“Eagle!” One of the group members was bitten on the neck by a zombie. Liu Zhixi screamed in fear and pushed a young man beside her. The young man was caught off guard and was pushed into the zombie’s mouth.
“Guo Zi!”
No matter how sad they were losing two brothers in succession, they rushed out of the zombie crowd with Liu Zhixi and came to a safe place. Cao Yifan clenched his fists and rushed to Liu Zhixi’s side, roaring, “It’s all because of you that Old Eagle and Guo Zi died. If you hadn’t refused to come down just now, we wouldn’t be in such danger!”
Cao Yunjin stopped him, and Cao Yifan said with reddened eyes, “Brother, Old Eagle is going to marry his lover this year. Guo Zi just turned 18, and so many brothers had died because of this woman. Don’t stop me. I’m going to avenge them today.”
Cao Yunjin hugged him. His eyes were also filled with pain and resignation to the vicissitudes of life. He said, “Yifan, our mission is to protect our employer.”
“But they didn’t have to die. Brother, I’m not afraid of death. I can die for my employer. I just feel that they died needlessly.”
Liu Zhixi was frightened, but when she saw Cao Yunjin stopping her, she regained her arrogance. She mocked, “Your lives are cheap. It’s your honor to die for me. Besides, didn’t my father give you a burial fee? When you guys die, your family will benefit too. You guys really don’t know how to be grateful.”
These words caused the eyes of the men to turn red. All of them clenched their fists tightly, and the veins on their faces bulged. But because of the power of the Liu Clan, they were unable to do anything.
Liu Zhixi looked around smugly. When she saw Gu Zhao, her eyes lit up. She had seen his stylish moves when he was killing the zombies. His good looks caught her eye. No matter how she looked at him, he did not look like an ordinary person.
She came to Gu Zhao’s side and asked demurely, “May I know which family this young master is from?”
There was still a hint of coyness on her face that was a stark contrast with the spoiled and hateful look just now.
Gu Zhao could not be bothered with her and simply closed his eyes to rest.
Su Shanshan was opening the back door of the jewelry store. There were so many zombies out there. It would not do to go out the front door. She would have to try her luck with the back door.
Fei Lan was looking on from the side.
