Chapter 121: 086 Something is wrong! (First update)_2
He only calmed down when he learned that it was a random arrangement by the higher-ups. However, just then, he heard someone praising Fang Yuxin’s Healing Ability, claiming that she even saved people infected with the Zombie Virus!
At that moment, he instinctively felt something was wrong; the person spreading the news clearly had ill intentions! But before he could find out who was spreading the rumors, the higher-ups approached him, and that’s when he discovered Zhou Yan and his team had encountered a Mutant Zombie, and there was speculation a Zombie Leader had emerged. To his astonishment, Fang Yuxin had volunteered to go and kill the Zombie Leader!
Where did she get so much courage? Didn’t she know how dangerous it could be?
Upon hearing this news, he almost wished he could drag Fang Yuxin in front of him and give her a severe scolding, yet he was more worried about her than angry. Zombies were ferocious, only driven by an instinctive craving for flesh without a shred of mercy for the fairer sex. Surrounded by thousands of zombies, Fang Yuxin was like lambs to the slaughter!
He was so anxious he could hardly stand it, so when Zhou Yan asked for reinforcements, he agreed without hesitation, and even volunteered to join the support mission alongside Zhou Yan. Of course, the so-called support was secondary. What was most important was to verify if a Zombie Leader truly existed and to kill it!
The decision came from the higher-ups, not because they didn’t want to save the Yongcheng Mercenary Team, but because the Mercenary Team was simply too small and insignificant with only ten members, while their enemy numbered thousands of zombies; no one believed they could survive.
In the end, the higher-ups agreed to dispatch 300 soldiers as support, a heavily armed and formidable force.
Qiu Yiming was worried sick all the way, pushing the pace, almost wishing he had wings to fly to Fang Yuxin’s side, only to encounter her halfway back to the Safe Zone.
The moment he saw her standing unharmed before him, he felt an urge to thank heaven, even though he had always been an atheist.
He held Fang Yuxin a bit more tightly in his arms, yet not so much to cause her discomfort, and in a lowered voice spoke near her ear, “Xinxin, don’t reject me, don’t disappoint me, okay?” His voice had a hint of subtle plea, which was his limit.
Qiu Yiming was proud by nature, never prone to compromise easily, and certainly not one to be cautious and subservient in front of a woman. Yet now, he was willing to put aside some of his pride for Fang Yuxin, hoping she wouldn’t reject his advances.
Fang Yuxin closed her eyes and whispered three words: “I’m sorry.” Her voice was soft, and as she spoke, she even created a tiny barrier, ensuring that only the pair huddled together could hear, excluding even Bai Qianqian.
But Qiu Yiming’s brow furrowed instantly, struggling to hide his displeasure, “Xinxin, I didn’t rush here just to hear these three words. Don’t say ‘I’m sorry’ to me, I don’t like it, and I won’t accept it.” He felt a natural aversion to those three words, as if by saying them, Fang Yuxin was about to do something he felt sorry for.
This filled him with unease and agitated anxiety.
He wouldn’t accept her apology, nor would he give her the chance to be sorry!
He held her tighter, almost wishing he could keep her with him forever and never let go!
Qiu Yiming frowned; something in him felt off. In the past, he would never entertain such domineering or even insane thoughts, but since the apocalypse, perhaps due to the Awakening of his superpower, his nature seemed altered.
He faintly suspected this change was unusual, but his heart relished the satisfying sense of control. At that moment, reason and emotion battled within him, neither yielding. As reason was about to prevail, Qiu Yiming felt Fang Yuxin struggling again.
Because there were others present, her struggle was minimal, gently pushing against him. Yet even this slight resistance infuriated Qiu Yiming. A glint of struggle flashed in his eyes, but it collapsed the next moment, leaving only the drive to destroy everything in madness and bottomless darkness.
He turned his head slightly, his dark eyes seemingly harboring terrible danger, his voice, even more distinct from before: “Xinxin, don’t push me; I don’t want to hurt you.” He finished, and suddenly pulled her close with his arms.
Qu Qianhe coughed, noticing something off about Qiu Yiming, but given the presence of others, it wasn’t a good time to cause a scene, as it could ruin Fang Yuxin’s reputation. She could only remind Qiu Yiming to be mindful of the situation and not to take it too far in this way.
Her cough brought him back to his senses. He took a deep breath, loosened his grip slightly, and let Fang Yuxin distance herself from him. Confronted with her angry gaze, he couldn’t help but laugh, and as Fang Yuxin was about to get angry, his smile faded and he turned serious again.
He preemptively asked, “Xinxin, did you really cure someone infected with the Zombie Virus?”
Fang Yuxin, upset with Qiu Yiming’s earlier behavior, became instantly wary on hearing his question, “Where did you hear about that?”

Perhaps influenced by that dream, she sensed an ulterior motive in Qiu Yiming’s question.
And Qiu Yiming did indeed have an ulterior motive. In asking, he not only wanted to confirm whether Fang Yuxin truly had such an ability but also to warn her that someone was out to get her.
The wariness in Fang Yuxin’s eyes pained him, and in that moment, he became painfully aware that the woman he was willing to abandon all to save, didn’t trust him at all! (To be continued.
