Fang Erlan stared at him and explained, “I just want to find out the answers to some of my questions.” She was probably trying to convince herself too.
He wrapped his arms around her tightly and held her in his embrace, not uttering a single word.
The silence sustained for several seconds, after which he pulled her into the room forcefully. Seemingly having sensed a threat, he desperately wanted to prove to her that he was the man whom she truly loved and wanted to be with.
Fang Erlan was completely dumbfounded, and her mind went blank. She was a twenty-four-year-old adult who knew exactly what was going to happen next.
She was well aware that it was only normal for a couple to get intimate with each other.
Her face was burning hot. Just as he was about to take a step further, his mobile phone began to ring.
Yan Ge ignored it while Fang Erlan said, “It might be an urgent matter. Pick up.”
He grabbed his mobile phone to see that it was a call from Mrs. Yan.
Yan Ge answered, “Hello, Mother.”
“Where are you?”
“The suburbs. What’s wrong?”
“What are you doing there?” Mrs. Yan questioned.
“Enjoying the night view.”
Mrs. Yan instantly understood that he was with Fang Erlan. If Fang Erlan gets pregnant in the future, wouldn’t that...
“Son, I’m suffering from a major headache. Hurry and come back,” said Mrs. Yan, trying her best to sound feeble and in pain.
“Do you feel terrible?”
“Yes, I feel terrible.”
“I’ll get Xiao Li to take you to the hospital,” said Yan Ge.
Before he could even continue, Mrs. Yan said eagerly, “Come back now, come back...”
“Okay, I’ll be on my way,” Yan Ge conceded. Being the only son, he had no choice but to return to the hotel to check on his mother.
Hence, his plans did not come to fruition. He caressed Fang Erlan’s face and said, “My mother is having a dizzy spell. I’ll go back to take a look at her. I’ll be back soon. Go to bed and lock the door properly.”
Fang Erlan nodded and said, “Be careful while on your way there.”
“Okay.”
Fang Erlan received a call from Mrs. Yan ten minutes after Yan Ge left.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, she held the mobile phone beside her ear and answered, “Auntie, I heard from Yan Ge that you’re getting a dizzy spell. How are you now?”
“Ms. Fang, I’ve already run a background check on you. You’re extremely unfilial to your parents and you rarely ever call home or visit them. On top of that, you were even in a complicated relationship with your bodyguard. I heard that he had a hidden agenda for staying by your side. Besides, you even asked my son for a hundred-million-dollar ring when you come from a lowly background. We really can’t have a daughter-in-law like you. We initially thought that Yu Caiwei was horrible enough. However, after comparing her to you, she suddenly seems like a better choice,” said Mrs. Yan, who didn’t sound ill at all.
Fang Erlan’s heart sank the moment she heard Mrs. Yan’s words.
“So you only pretended to be sick to make Yan Ge go home.”
“Yes. I actually had a good impression of you at first. However, I find you absolutely horrid now. I called you with the main intention of getting you to break up with my son. Stop wasting his time. My husband and I detest you now, so you’d better know your place.”
“Auntie...”
Beep... Beep... Beep...
Fang Erlan put down her mobile phone, feeling extremely upset.

By eight o’clock, there were no longer any mutants in Beiying town, which was now covered in fire.
The entire town was dead silent.
An Xiaoning brought a large number of victims away to a safer place using the cargo truck. Just as she was about to meet Pan Zhenghui, the truck ran out of petrol.
Fortunately, the town did not experience a power outage and she could still refill her petrol at the petrol kiosk.
However, the kiosk attendants had long fled the place and, thus, she had to alight and refill the petrol herself.
She then decided to call Pan Zhenghui to ask him for his whereabouts.
However, he called her before she dialed his number.
“Xiaoning, are you alright?”
“I’m alright. How about you guys?”
“We’re in trouble, our flamethrowers have been depleted and we’ve run out of ammo too. We’re stuck in a village on 302 National Avenue. The car’s out of petrol too.”
“I’ll head there now.”
“Be careful,” said Pan Zhenghui, who heaved a sigh of relief.
“Chief, is Team Leader An coming?” Team Leader Zhang asked, trembling with fear.
“Yes, she’s on her way. God damn it, why are we in this hellhole? Ah, we’ve come to dig our own graves! So many people have died because of this incident, and we’re to be held responsible for the casualties. If the archeological team members die too, we’re going to be implicated and blamed for causing such a huge disaster because we failed to incinerate the corpse in time,” Pan Zhenghui lamented while wiping his sweat away.
“Chief, how are the higher-ups going to punish us and the archeological team?”
“Who knows...” Pan Zhenghui continued, “When we see Xiaoning later, we must beg her to put in a good word for us.”
Team Leader Zhang agreed with a nod, “Chief, just beg her. She’ll definitely put in a good word for you.”
“I’ll try,” said Pan Zhenghui, who then shrieked again. He leaned toward the side and stared at the zombies outside the window. The zombies were staring back at him with their fangs exposed, wishing they could devour the people inside the car.
The zombies appeared extremely terrifying and were banging on the bulletproof windows furiously.
Pangs of fear and anxiety engulfed Pan Zhenghui, who, despite having experienced all sorts of cases, could not help but feel terrorized.
Ten minutes later, Pan Zhenghui saw a glimmer of hope.
On the verge of tears, he said, “Xiaoning is so much faster than the special forces...”
An Xiaoning drove the cargo truck toward them and pulled over, after which the zombies frantically began surrounding it.
Staring at the number of zombies, she grabbed her gun and amulets before winding down the windows and leaving a five-inch crack.
As soon as she did, the zombies stuck their hands in through the crack and latched themselves onto the window, giving An Xiaoning the perfect opportunity to execute her plan. She aimed her gun at the zombies and fired bullets at their heads.
It was a tried-and-tested solution.
She killed four zombies in a row, after which the rest stopped trying to pry the windows open, for fear that she would shoot them too.
An Xiaoning wound the windows down again and picked up a stack of amulets. She chanted a spell and flung the amulets out of the window. The amulets darted toward the zombies and struck them in the middle of their foreheads. At the instant that that happened, they collapsed onto the ground.
Pan Zhenghui and the rest of the officers gasped in shock.
She alighted from the truck and walked toward the police car with a white can of petrol, which she had brought from the petrol kiosk. “What are you waiting for? Hurry and get out of the car!” she hollered.
