Chapter 73.2
No wonder he eventually became their target~ Gu MingYue thought to herself silently before closing the bathroom door. She took off her clothes – tattered cloth if she were to describe it more accurately, and turned on the showers. To be honest, she had never been so judged and disliked by a man in her life, and the cheeky part deep within her couldn’t wait to see what this body looked like after washing off all the dirt and grime. In fact, she hoped that she would at least look clean and presentable just so she could finally slap their faces for being mean and judgmental.
As Gu MingYue was taking a shower, the group took out their collected food and daily necessities and placed them neatly in the storage area in the basement of the tourist bus. It was obvious that they have placed great care while building the basement as the racks were all labelled neatly and by category. Also, during this time, Xi Wei was still working wholeheartedly with his various equipment in the kitchen.
Just like today, Xi Wei was always left behind to watch the bus with Jing Yao when the group leave to scavenge for supplies. As a genius scientist, there was no chance he would risk his life for such activities, and also because he had the laboratory spacial ability, he knew that the universe had given him a much more important mission in life – which was to study the zombie virus thoroughly and eventually invent special vaccines and drugs to counter this virus. And at this current moment, he was actually extracting experimental materials from his own space and tirelessly adjusting the ratio of each ingredient in the prescription.
However, though he had been diligent in his research, his recent developments and results were unsatisfactory and could have been much better. Xi Wei encountered a bottleneck problem recently, which made him quite depressed as days passed. As the only member of the group who could get food without putting in the effort every day, he really wanted to prove his value to the team and contribute to the survival of human beings as soon as possible, instead of just spending all his time on his research under the protection of his teammates but showing no results at all.
He was a young man with vast ideals and ambitions. Before the apocalypse hit, he was actually about to make great achievements in his professional field, however, the apocalypse came too suddenly and unexpectedly, causing things that were unreasonable and unscientific before to become a natural part of their daily lives suddenly… This situation caused his scientific and rigorous view of the world to collapse instantly, while the knowledge and theories that he had learned in the past were now completely redundant.
Previously unexplainable things, such as zombies, mutated animals and supernatural abilities were now the norm, and after convincing himself and coming to terms with this, Xi Wei now truly felt that this might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him. With his genius brain and high intellect, if he could construct a whole new theoretical system that was suitable for his world based on the existing knowledge system, he might be able to go further and achieve much more than his predecessors in the field of science. And long after he had passed, his name would still go down in history for centuries!
Jing Yao had always admired Xi Wei’s concentration and devotion to his research, and Xi Wei, who was doing experiments in his white lab coat, always seemed to glow with confidence. And without realizing it, Jing Yao’s feelings for Xi Wei had grown to great lengths throughout their time together on the tourist bus.
But of course, Jing Yao did not know that the so-called visual sense of glow all over Xi Wei’s frame was commonly known as the ‘protagonist’s halo’, also known as the ‘Tom Sue’ halo1. And the only possible result of being exposed to such a strong aura day and night was to eventually be a captive of it.
Fortunately, it was still quite early in the story plot as it had yet to progress to the point where everyone succumbed to the path of love, hence Jing Yao’s poisoning was not too deep and Gu MingYue still had the chance to keep all of them straight.
Well, this task really takes a huge toll on her intellect…
Coming back to Gu MingYue, who was so stinky and filthy previously, finally revealed the original appearance of her body after scrubbing away layers and layers of dirt and grime.
“Erm, are there any clothes for me?” Gu MingYue pushed open the door slightly, revealing a tiny slit as she called out weakly to the men outside. She had heard someone entering the bathroom and taking away her tattered and gruesome clothes while she was taking a shower, but the person had not left behind a spare change of clothes. It wouldn’t be great for her to go out wrapped in just a towel, right?
“Here, you can use this for now. Your old clothes are currently being burned to ashes by Ah Lei.” Bai JunFei passed her a large oversized shirt and shorts through the gap, “These undersized clothes were too small for the group, you can use them.”
Gu MingYue quickly changed into the clean clothing as soon as she got them. They had not given her a bra or underwear, and although it felt somewhat chilly and awkward inside, and the clothes didn’t fit well, it was still better than wearing that ragged grimy dress from before.
But, to think that they were so disgusted with it that they had to burn the clothes with their supernatural abilities… That was an entire achievement in itself.
After checking herself once more in the mirror, Gu MingYue pushed the bathroom door open and walked out. Her mid-length hair that reached her chest was still dripping wet, so she tilted her head slightly to the side as she wiped down her hair with a towel. “Thank you!” She said genuinely to the men around her.
However, she did not get any responses from the group after a whole minute, so she raised her head up curiously and glanced at the men, who all had different expressions on their shocked and frozen faces.
Especially Jiang Lei, whose cheeks flushed instantly when Gu MingYue’s eyes landed on this, so red that it could be noticed clearly through his bronze-coloured skin.
“You are……? The woman who went in just now?!” An YiZe asked in shock with his huge and round staring eyes.
“Yes… Ah, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Gu MingYue. We will be teammates from now on, and I promise that I will not be a burden to the group. I hope we can get along well in the days to come.” Gu MingYue spoke softly before flashing a smile at everyone.
An YiZe rubbed his nose instinctively, Ah… I might have a nosebleed.
Can anyone explain to them how a woman picked up so randomly at such a place could end up so beautiful and alluring?!?!?!
