I Pursued My Scummy Ex’s White Moonlight – Chapter 93

What Luo Xi said was reasonable, it was just that the method she used was too easy for people to misunderstand. However, with her personality, it was also impossible for her to give a good face in welcome when facing a potential love rival.

When Su Wenwen saw Luo Xi shake her off and walk shoulder-to-shoulder with Wang Kelin, she knew that she was truly angered, and so did not really want to pay attention to her.

She sighed softly and just followed obediently. Chen Zixuan was originally walking with Wang Kelin, but was squeezed to the back by Luo Xi and had no choice but to walk with Su Wenwen.

On the ice and snow, some wreckage of ship hulls could occasionally be seen, as well as some zombies that had wanted to cross the ocean. Some of them had the lower halves of their bodies frozen, and when they saw living people, they could do nothing but roar.

These zombies were all taken care of by Su Wenwen. Adding to the zombies she had killed before, she had obtained a total of nearly twenty thousand attribute points, and then spent ten thousand attribute points to exchange for advanced gloves.

Damage received is -％5, strength +100. The crystal core synthesis was still primarily focused on strength. Installed on the gloves, her strength was increased by a total of two hundred. Now, still lacking two pieces of advanced equipment, Su Wenwen would have gathered a complete set.

Soon. Once I’ve gathered a full set of advanced equipment, I should also be able to deal with stronger zombies by myself…

She thought so, not noticing the way Luo Xi would look back from time to time.

Wang Kelin walked by Luo Xi’s side, so naturally she took in all of Luo Xi’s reactions.

Before, when they were both still little snot-nosed kids, they attended kindergarten together. Wang Kelin would cry her eyes out, shouting for her mommy every single day.

In a small classroom full of all kinds of snot-nosed kids shouting “Daddy! Mommy!”, only Luo Xi was different, sitting quietly by herself in a corner looking at a picture book.

Later, when everyone had become a bit more familiar, Wang Kelin was very unhappy with Luo Xi’s high and mighty appearance, and would snatch the book from her hands every time, attempting to take her outside to play.

But Luo Xi was clearly unwilling. One time, she directly resorted to her hands and gave Wang Kelin a push, causing her forehead to hit the corner of a table. The scar between her strands of hair was left behind from that time.

When Luo Xi saw the blood on her forehead, she did not apologize. Her attitude was ice-cold; she didn’t even offer a single word of apology. Wang Kelin cried so sorrowfully.

She only went to the kindergarten on the third day. She had originally planned to ignore Luo Xi from then on, but who would have known that Luo Xi would unexpectedly take the initiative to strike up a conversation with her, and give her a wooden model handgun.

That handgun was a children’s model, only three cun¹ in size. It was handmade, bit by bit, by a famous master. The parts inside were the same as a real gun, with extremely high precision.

On account of the toy gun and Luo Xi’s pretty face, Wang Kelin reluctantly forgave her. Later, the two of them became very good friends.

Unexpectedly, after so many years had passed, Luo Xi was still as aojiao² as when she was little. She clearly wanted to make up with Su Wenwen, yet she insisted on beating around the bush, getting herself all conflicted over there.

Wang Kelin shook her head. Actually, I’m not much better either. She glanced back at the bandit-like Chen Zixuan, and anger welled up from nowhere in her heart.

Just now, when confronting the Zombie King, Chen Zixuan had unexpectedly planned to rush into the zombie swarm all by herself, relying on wind power to hold her body up in mid-air. However, she hadn’t expected that the zombie with many hands and feet could spray out silver threads, which stuck to Chen Zixuan.

If Wang Kelin hadn’t rescued her in time, Chen Zixuan would have been dragged all the way into the zombie’s mouth.

This character, she just bullies me because I’m capable.

The rest of the journey was considered smooth, but the wind and snow still showed no signs of stopping. After the sun set, the team finally rushed to the port.

The temperature at this time was much lower again. Even wearing masks, every breath felt as if one were inhaling ice shards; it was uncomfortable to the point of death.

Wang Kelin ordered everyone to enter the port to rest. Some ships were still moored at the edge of the port, but they were all frozen solid onto the sea’s surface.

Just as everyone was climbing up the slope to the shore, Su Wenwen suddenly spoke up: “Wait, something’s not right.”

Wang Kelin was puzzled: “What’s wrong?”

Su Wenwen said: “This mission is very important. The commander-in-chief would definitely have notified the port guards to come and receive us, but it’s too quiet now.”

Wang Kelin narrowed her eyes and looked toward the high wall. Over a month ago, when she had brought supplies to the port, the high wall had already been completely established, so everyone’s expressions were very relaxed. Although this place didn’t have as large a population as the sea base, it could still be considered to have a human presence.

But looking at the oppressive night scenery now, it was permeated with a deathly silence, as if a sinister wind was penetrating to the bone, making one endlessly terrified.

Wang Kelin quickly made a hand gesture to everyone and said: “Everyone, be vigilant.”

Next, Wang Kelin put on night-vision goggles and led the team ashore. Zombies are very sensitive to light. With the lights off, Su Wenwen could only rely on her eyesight to see a few upright human figures inside the iron railings.

She slowly walked over, but Luo Xi pulled her hand for a moment, then quickly let go. It seemed she was still in the heat of anger, but she was also unwilling to let Su Wenwen risk danger.

There were only three pairs of night-vision goggles, and they had been given to others during the changing of the night watch yesterday. So, she didn’t try to act tough, and asked Wang Kelin: “What did you see?”

Wang Kelin did not answer. She directly turned on her flashlight. The piercing beam of light fiercely shone upon a pair of red, blood-colored eyes, making everyone endlessly startled.

Inside the iron railings, there were corpses and frozen ordinary zombies everywhere. The zombies that saw the light moved their broken limbs bit by bit, pressing against the railings and roaring lowly.

These zombies looked to be not young; some even had graying white hair. Only then did Su Wenwen remember that back then, all the young and able-bodied youths had been taken to the sea base. The people left at the port were all middle-aged, over fifty years old.

The sea base still had enough houses and coal to ward off the cold, and yet quite a few people still died. So how could the temporarily built houses and tents at the port possibly withstand this natural disaster?

The light then shone on the wooden houses and tents not far away. They were all covered in bloodstains, and there were also holes smashed by hail. In this kind of weather, the chances of survival were extremely low.

Perhaps they all died half a month ago.

Wang Kelin said with a grim face: “Clean up the zombies. Let’s see if there are any survivors!”

They were all ordinary zombies here, and they were frozen by the severe cold weather until their movements were slow. The maze-like iron railings also separated the zombies. With everyone cooperating and slowly clearing them out, it was actually not difficult at all.

But there were no survivors either.

The people who had sought shelter here had all died. Wang Kelin sighed, and ordered everyone to clean up the corpses. They dug several large pits and buried all the bodies inside.

They were busy like this for one night. When the sky was about to brighten, everyone finally leaned against each other to rest.

Having buried several hundred people at once, for a time, everyone’s facial expressions were stiff.

Su Wenwen could not sleep. She walked aimlessly to the parking lot. Many cars had been smashed by the hail; glass was shattered, and the fronts of cars were dented. Unintentionally, she saw that the nanny van was still parked there, intact.

She could not help but walk over and reach out to push away the thick snow on the glass. It was indeed Luo Xi’s nanny van, but because it had not been started for several months, she was afraid the battery and tires were probably no longer in good shape.

“Feeling nostalgic?”

Luo Xi stood beside Su Wenwen. Facing the faint white light of the sky, the snowflakes that fell on her shoulders all seemed to glint with a warming light.

She had thought that Luo Xi would not speak to her for a short while. Suddenly hearing the word “nostalgic”, her mind wavered for a moment, and then she nodded her head obediently.

Luo Xi pulled open the car door: “Get in and sit for a while.”

When the car was parked here back then, according to the rules, the key had to be left in the car, and the door was never locked. The purpose was to leave it for people in need; it was just that they hadn’t expected everyone here to have died.

Su Wenwen and Luo Xi sat in the back seat.

The cushions in the nanny van were still as soft as ever. Leaning her back against the seat, it was so comfortable that her whole body relaxed.

“Are you still angry at me?” Su Wenwen turned her head to look at Luo Xi, who was sitting upright beside her.

Luo Xi also copied Su Wenwen’s posture, leaning against the seat and relaxing her body. Her long legs were crossed, and her slender fingertips rested on her knees, giving off an indescribable air of grace and nobility.

No matter the time, Luo Xi’s words, actions, and mannerisms were always elegant and composed. Her neck was slender, her shoulders broad; every frown and every smile was carved into her very bones. There was no need to do it deliberately; it was completely natural³, giving the feeling that she was born this way.

No matter which angle I look at Luo Xi from, I feel she’s so beautiful. If only her gaze weren’t so cold.

“If I were still angry, what would you do?”

When Su Wenwen heard Luo Xi ask this, she knew that Luo Xi was actually not that angry anymore. She quickly wrapped her arms around her and said in a soft whisper: “Could you bear to be angry at me?”

Luo Xi saw that Su Wenwen’s eyes were haloed with a layer of mist, looking too much like a little rabbit with drooping ears, silly and dazed, with an appearance that said she was yours to rub/pinch as you pleased.

Actually, the anger had long since passed. But a rabbit delivered to one’s mouth, how could there be any logic in not eating it?

Luo Xi lowered her head, held the rosy lips, and gently bit down with her teeth. It was not too excessive. After releasing her, she looked directly into that pair of misty black pupils.

This kiss was very brief. If it weren’t for the slight stinging pain on her lip, Su Wenwen would not have been able to come back to her senses.

She pursed the corner of her mouth that had been bitten. A trace of wetness and a delicate fragrance still remained there.

Her throat moved. It was completely not enough.

Unsatisfied.

Su Wenwen had just leaned over, wanting to deepen the kiss, but who would have known that Luo Xi would stop her with a hand, then gently rub the back of her head and say: “I haven’t slept the whole night. I’m tired and need to rest.”

Su Wenwen blinked, not having expected that she too would have times when she was rejected. She nodded helplessly, leaned against Luo Xi’s shoulder, and closed her eyes mournfully to rest.

However, this sleep did not last long either. It was probably only about four hours, and she woke up around noon.

Wang Kelin used the walkie-talkie to gather everyone, and they ate a meal together.

Only after the meal did she say: “The next leg of the journey will be divided into two teams. One team will follow me and Chen Zixuan to collect resources. The other team will follow Luo Xi and Su Wenwen to the Research Institute to rescue Lin Wan.”

The personnel had all been decided beforehand, and the teams were quickly divided.

Because Su Wenwen’s team did not have a space-ability user, they had to carry their own heavy backpacks.

The snow piled up on the ground was too thick for ordinary cars to drive on, and walking on foot was also tiring. So, everyone worked together with one heart, using existing materials to make simple, long wooden boards, to be tied to their shoes and used as sleds⁴.
