System Glitch! I Accidentally Saved The Zombie Emperor
Chapter 34: Eating MelonUnable to breathe, Qiu Sixun grabbed Ye Xuan’s arm with one hand while repeatedly patting his face with the other, trying to wake him.
Feeling the repeated pats, Ye Xuan suddenly released him.
Thud!
"Cough! Cough! Cough!" Qiu Sixun collapsed onto the floor, coughing violently as he struggled to catch his breath.
Looking up, he studied Ye Xuan’s expression and immediately realized that he wasn’t fully conscious. Sensing that something was wrong, Qiu Sixun quickly climbed to his feet and grabbed Ye Xuan by the shoulders.
"Brother Xuan! Wake up! Look at me!"
He called out to Ye Xuan several times before the haze clouding Ye Xuan’s mind gradually faded. As though waking from a long nightmare, Ye Xuan slowly raised his head and saw Qiu Sixun’s worried face.
After a few moments of buffering, he finally asked, "Sixun... what’s wrong?"
Qiu Sixun studied him carefully before asking, "Brother Xuan, do you remember what you were doing just now?"
Ye Xuan frowned thoughtfully, then replied, "When I woke up, you were patting my face."
He paused for a second, shook his head, then asked, "What happened? Did I do something?"
The moment Qiu Sixun heard those words, his expression darkened. However, instead of telling the truth, he simply shook his head.
"Nothing. You just didn’t wake up for a long time, and I was worried you’d fallen into a coma."
Hearing this, Ye Xuan merely nodded.
Seeing that he was still weak and looking pale from blood loss, Qiu Sixun added, "Brother Xuan, you have lost a lot of blood. We will rest here for a while and wait for Younger Sister Liu to join us before planning our next destination."
"Mhm." Ye Xuan nodded in response before looking around.
Not finding his other two brothers, he turned to look at Qiu Sixun and asked, "Where are Zhenwei and Zuancheng?"
When Ye Xuan asked him, Qiu Sixun replied, "Zhenwei and Zuancheng went to look for supplies. They have been gone for a while now. They should be back at any moment."
Listening to his explanation, Ye Xuan scanned the surroundings. Seeing the room filled with large empty shelves, he asked, "This is a warehouse?"
Qiu Sixun nodded. "Mhm. We found a gas station after leaving Ji City. Because your condition had worsened, we decided to rest here until you woke up."
Noticing the slight change in Ye Xuan’s expression, Qiu Sixun added, "Don’t worry. This place is safe. The military is currently stationed here."
Ye Xuan fell silent in thought for a long moment before asking, "Sixun, do you know why the military is stationed here?"
Qiu Sixun shook his head before explaining, "When we found this gas station, the military had already taken control of the place. However, from what we have found so far, they only seem interested in collecting supplies and fuel."
Recalling the group of survivors outside, he added, "Besides the military, there are also a large number of survivors here. They should be carrying out a rescue mission."
After saying that, Qiu Sixun noticed that Ye Xuan’s face had grown even paler. Helping him lie back down on the ground, he said, "Brother Xuan, you should get some more rest."
Feeling tired and sleepy, Ye Xuan didn’t refuse his suggestion. He simply closed his eyes and fell asleep.
While Ye Xuan was sleeping, Gu Zhenwei and Lan Zuancheng were quietly watching a drama unfold before them.
Hidden among the crowd, Gu Zhenwei clicked his tongue and commented in a low voice, "Tsk! That vixen’s acting sickness is flaring up again."
Hearing this, Lan Zuancheng glanced at his friend’s face and could almost see the words ’I’m enjoying this gossip’ plastered across it.
Shaking his head helplessly, he looked at the skinny young man covered in bruises and injuries lying on the ground.
Standing before him, Liu Ruyan covered her nose with a pink handkerchief while looking down at the young man with disdain. Beneath her careful disguise and superb acting, only the young man, Gu Zhenwei, and Lan Zuancheng could see the cold contempt hidden in her eyes.
Pretending to wipe away nonexistent tears, Liu Ruyan sobbed, "This elder brother, Ruyan doesn’t even know you. Why did you suddenly attack Ruyan for no reason?"
The young man glared at Liu Ruyan, spat on the ground, and wiped the blood from the corner of his lips with the back of his hand. However, he remained silent, continuing to glare at her coldly.
Seeing this, Liu Ruyan became unhappy. A trace of murderous intent flashed through her eyes before disappearing in an instant. Without receiving any answer, Liu Ruyan threw herself into Ye Jin’s arms and sobbed.
"Wu... wu... wu... Elder Brother Jin, you must seek justice for Ruyan."
Raising her arm, she showed Ye Jin the scratches on it and added pitifully, "Elder Brother Jin, Ruyan is in pain."
Ye Jin’s expression darkened when he saw the fresh scratches on her arm. Furious that someone had dared to hurt his woman, he coldly ordered, "How dare you! Someone!"
The captain of the bodyguards stepped forward and respectfully asked, "Young Master, what are your orders?"
Pointing at the young man with his chin, Ye Jin sneered cruelly. "Torture him to death."
Without changing his expression, the bodyguard captain calmly replied, "Yes, Young Master."
After saying that, he turned to his subordinates. "Take him away."
"Yes, Captain."
Lying on the ground, the young man could only watch as the Ye family’s bodyguards approached him. Clenching his fists, he gritted his teeth and glared at Liu Ruyan with hatred and unwillingness.
’I can’t die now! I can’t die before I get my revenge!’
As the bodyguards grabbed him by the arms and dragged him away, he struggled desperately to break free.
"Let me go!"
Unfortunately, no matter how hard he struggled, he was powerless against them.
Knowing he might not survive this ordeal, the young man glared at Liu Ruyan and roared with hatred, "Liu Ruyan! I won’t let you go even after I die! I will come back and kill you!"
