Chapter 30: At the Gate

Xu Fei gripped the steering wheel until his knuckles turned white.

He wanted to admonish Lin Rongrong for risking her life, but what right did he have?

After all, he was the one who was saved.

After thinking about it, Xu Fei sighed and turned to Lin Rongrong.

“Rongrong, thank you for saving my life.” He said.

“You would have done the same for me.” Lin Rongrong said, and Xu Fei nodded.

She was not wrong.

He would have done the same for her.

When Xu Fei thought about this, his eyes narrowed, and he wondered when it all changed.

Marrying Lin Rongrong was not his choice.

However, because he didn’t have a girlfriend or a woman he liked, he didn’t oppose too hard.

His only request was a private wedding, and the family obliged him.

He and Lin Rongrong got along well during their two years of marriage.

They had become friends, and to his surprise, they were even willing to risk their life for each other.

’Maybe…’ Xu Fei glanced at Lin Rongrong with a thoughtful look.

“Xu Fei.”

“What’s the matter?”

“Do you want to form a proper team with Qin Wu and Mo Chenxuan?” Lin Rongrong suddenly asked.

“What about you?”

“Me…” Lin Rongrong fell into thought.

She recalled every interaction from when they met Qin Wu and Mo Chenxian.

After a minute of thought, she turned to Xu Fei.

“They are capable, resourceful, generous, and beautiful.” She finally said.

“Is appearance a factor in your decision?” Xu Fei asked, his lips twitching in amusement.

“It’s indeed a factor. First, good-looking people are a rare scenery in the apocalypse. However, they are also a magnet for trouble. Although Qin Wu and Mo Chenxuan usually wear masks, they can’t possibly wear them all the time for the rest of their lives. Sooner or later, their appearance will cause trouble.”

“It’s…” Xu Fei started, but Lin Rongrong interrupted him.

“Let me finish.” She said and quickly continued.

“They also have many secrets, and forming a team with them will complicate our lives. Xu Fei, do you remember we met a space ability user on the second of the apocalypse?”

“I remember him.” Xu Fei nodded.

“That man only had ten square metres of storage space and no attack ability. What about Qin Wu? She seems to have endless storage space, and her ability has offensive capability. Overall, Mo Chenxuan and Qin Wu are more powerful than ordinary superpowers.”

“Does that mean you don’t want to form a team with them?” Xu Fei asked, but Lin Rongrong shook her head.

“I may not be as beautiful as Qin Wu, but I am also a woman and a healer. Chances are that I will also cause trouble in the future. Of the four of us, you are the least likely to cause trouble. I just want you to consider the possibilities before deciding.”

Hearing this, Xu Fei chuckled but soon looked at Lin Rongrong with a solemn face.

“Let’s ask them to form a team.” He said.

“Despite….”

“Yes, despite the possibility of trouble. It’s rare to meet people we both like, and I can see you also want to form a team with them.”

“You are right. I do want to form a team with them.”

In the other car, Qin Wu smiled and looked at Mo Chenxuan.

“Eavesdropping is a bad habit.” The man said, but Qin Wu sneered.

“Listen to the pot calling the kettle black.” She accused, and both burst into laughter.

Mo Chenxuan, Qin Wu, Xu Fei, and Lin Rongrong arrived at the gate of the Royal Gold Academy at nine in the evening.

When they arrived, Mo Chenxuan scanned the surroundings but soon frowned.

“What’s wrong? ” Qin Wu asked.

“There are hundreds of people two hundred metres from here.”

“Strange.” Qin Wu muttered, and Mo Chenxuan nodded.

“What about zombies?”

“None within three hundred metres.”

“Maybe those people cleared the area.”

“It’s likely.” Mo Chenxuan agreed.

At the same time, Qin Wu powered the walkie-talkie and asked the other two to meet outside.

Soon after, four people stood together before the school gate.

“Let’s check the guard house. We can sleep there if it’s appropriate.” Mo Chenxuan suggested, and the others immediately agreed.

The school gate was open, and the four easily entered.

A minute later, they arrived at the guard house.

“The door is broken.” Lin Rongrong observed.

The guard house was a simple structure.

It had a five square metres outer room and a ten square metres inner room.

The outer room had a desk and four chairs, while the inner room had a bunk bed.

Unfortunately, the door between the outer and inner rooms was a flimsy cardboard.

With the main door broken, the four didn’t dare to sleep in the guardhouse.

It seems we have to find another place.” Lin Rongrong sighed.

“We may not be the only survivors in the school.” Mo Chenxuan started and quickly continued.

“Remember not to communicate secrets and private matters in crowded areas. Use texts if it’s necessary to relay secret matters. Even then, hide the screen to prevent visually enhanced superpowers from peeking.”

“The apocalypse is so dangerous.” Lin Rongrong complained, but Qin Wu didn’t think anything of it.

After all, she had lived eight years in such an environment.

“Rongrong, let’s go in and shower.” She said.

“Shower? Here?” Lin Rongrong asked in a confused voice.

However, Qin Wu didn’t answer.

Instead, she asked Xu Fei and Lin Rongrong to retrieve their clothes and daily necessities from their car.

After the two left, Mo Chenxuan sealed the room with Spiritual power before speaking.

“Don’t shower together. Use an outdoor privacy screen.” He urged, and Qin Wu laughed but soon turned solemn.

“You can peek at me but can’t look at Lin Rongrong.” She warned, her eyes flashing with a dangerous light.

“Don’t worry. I only want to look at you.”

“Good.”

Mo Chenxuan and Xu Fei left the guardhouse when Qin Wu and Lin Rongrong entered the inner room.

As an additional precaution, Mo Chenxuan encircled the guardhouse with spiritual power to prevent superpowers from peeking in.
