Ice Apocalypse (Season 1)

Chapter 173: Heading to the New Home

Zhang Yi pulled Zhou Ke'er into the car and waved goodbye to Uncle You and Zhou Haimei. In the past, he hesitated to drive this thing, considering the fuel-saving factor. This large snowmobile consumes an astonishing amount of fuel. Running on the snow is a completely different concept than on flat ground. Moreover, it was more convenient to go out alone on a motorcycle before. However, in the future, he would rarely leave the house, so there was no need to be so stingy.
After Zhang Yi and Zhou Ke'er left, Uncle You looked at Zhou Haimei beside him, and his eyes were full of eager light. Zhou Haimei felt a bit embarrassed under his gaze."Let's go back and rest! It's quite cold outside," Uncle You rubbed his hands and chuckled. Zhou Haimei nodded. Now, she had married into the same fate as Uncle You and was content to live with him. However, just one day had passed, and she had no more dissatisfaction in her heart.Uncle You had awakened the ability to strengthen his physique, and he seemed to be full of inexhaustible strength. As the saying goes, a woman is like a wolf at thirty and a tiger at forty. Even a woman in her forties like Zhou Haimei had been completely subdued by him. From then on, she wholeheartedly lived with him."Don't judge people by appearances; you need to delve deep and thoroughly understand before making judgments," Zhou Haimei liked to impart this experience to other women later on....Zhang Yi drove the RV with Zhou Ke'er back home. Along the way, Zhou Ke'er looked excitedly at everything outside. She had been enclosed in the community for too long, and the farthest place she had been to was the fourth floor. Now that she could come out, her mood became much happier. She looked left and right, eager to take in all the scenery.But soon, disappointment appeared in her eyes. Between the vast expanse of the world, only ice and snow were the eternal constants. The traces of human civilization were reduced to some steel and concrete, without the bustling neighborhoods."Zhang Yi, is our new home beautiful?" Zhou Ke'er could only place her expectations on the new residence.Zhang Yi smiled slightly, "Very spacious and beautiful. It's much more comfortable than the house we lived in before."Zhou Ke'er's eyes lit up, "No wonder you can be so generous! I knew, with your personality, you wouldn't give such a well-thought-out safe house to someone else."Zhang Yi corrected her, "Not giving, just lending it to them temporarily. If we need it one day, we will come back." He still held the highest authority and the key to the safe house. As long as he wished, he could reclaim it. It was not that he didn't trust Uncle You, but in the apocalypse, people's hearts could change, and precaution was necessary."By the way, there's now one more person at home. I wanted to let you know in advance," Zhang Yi said in a calm tone.Doubt flashed in Zhou Ke'er's eyes, "One more person?""Ah, I understand!" She chuckled, "Is it the original owner of that house still around?""No, he asked me to kill him," Zhang Yi said suddenly and stopped the car by the roadside. If it weren't for mentioning this incident, he would have forgotten to dispose of the corpses.Zhou Ke'er didn't know what Zhang Yi was going to do. Seeing him get out of the car, she adjusted her clothes and followed him. She saw Zhang Yi pull out a bunch of corpses from a different space and threw them into the ditch along the roadside. Some were Kun who died in the shelter, and the other three were Wang Siming, Lin Geng, and Xu Hao. Zhou Ke'er recognized the three of them at a glance and widened her eyes in surprise."Is the house you mentioned Wang Siming's villa?""Yes, any problem?" Zhang Yi habitually clapped his hands and turned to look at her.Zhou Ke'er sighed and shook her head, "Nothing, just find it unbelievable that someone as prominent as him could die so easily. It's just hard to believe!"Zhang Yi sneered indifferently, "It's the apocalypse, and human life is as insignificant as grass. Everyone dies so coldly. Don't be too sentimental. Just focus on staying alive. Who cares about others?"Zhang Yi left the corpses by the roadside, and they would soon be covered by the heavy snow. He returned to the car, and Zhou Ke'er followed suit."The person you left behind, is it his woman?" Zhou Ke'er stared at Zhang Yi, and a hint of jealousy began to fill the air inside the car.Through the rearview mirror, Zhang Yi saw her pouting, finding her especially cute. When he first met her, she was that aloof female doctor. However, with their close relationship, she developed a deep sense of dependence on Zhang Yi, transforming into a jealous little girl.Women are truly mysterious creatures."Don't overthink it; she's just a tool. The person I love the most is you!" Zhang Yi said with a smile. "My feelings for you are as high as the mountains! How can she compare?"Zhou Ke'er's pouting lips slowly relaxed. She looked at Zhang Yi and asked, "Is what you said true?"Zhang Yi nodded decisively, "Of course! Just think about it. You're young and beautiful, becoming the chief physician in a top-tier hospital at such a young age. How could I not like such a wonderful girl?"Zhang Yi was articulate, spouting sweet words that could easily coax a girl. Perhaps, after being deceived by Fang Yuqing, he had lost the admiration for beautiful women. Without the burden of morality, he became calm and indifferent. Therefore, when pursuing a girl, one must not be humble; they must exude enough confidence. Only then can you attract them."Unattainable things are always stirring, and those favored have nothing to fear." Zhou Ke'er pursed her lips, and Zhang Yi's words made her feel content.What's a medical doctorate in the realm of emotions? In the apocalypse, the attachment generated by the bridge effect made her completely fall in love with this dangerous and powerful man by her side.She hugged his arm, gently resting her head on his shoulder."I knew you liked me!"Her sweet face was filled with happiness.Zhang Yi glanced at her, feeling a slight touch in his heart. In this state, she resembled his past innocent self.Zhang Yi couldn't help but question himself. Was it right to live so selfishly? But soon, he reassured himself. If living selfishly made a person happier, why not do it? At least, he had never owed Zhou Ke'er anything, so he couldn't be considered a scumbag.
