Chapter 55
The next day, Yu Ting set off with the army at the base.
Qiao Nian stayed at the base and waited for him to come back.
She thought that this battle would be without any suspense, but the result of the matter was beyond her expectation.
She waited a day and a night at the base before the army came back.
But Yu Ting was not among those who came back.
The damage to the army was not serious, and most of them came back and won the battle.
The atmosphere was gloomy, because the general and the zombie king disappeared in this battle.
Jiang and Jing's eyes were red, and some of them couldn't help crying. Obviously, they all thought that it was unlikely that Yu Ting would be alive, and that Yu Ting would probably perish together with the Zombie King.
When Lin Xia came to Qiao Nian, her eyes were red, as if she didn't know how to comfort her.
Qiao Nian didn't feel that she needed comfort.
She knew that Yu Ting was not dead at all, if he had died, the world would have collapsed long ago, and it is impossible to stay until now.
Therefore, when Jiang Yujing brought people to look for Yu Ting, Qiao Nian also volunteered to follow him.
At that time, Jiang Yujing looked at her with complicated eyes, but in the end they agreed without saying anything.
Qiao Nian could tell that she thought Yu Ting was dead, so she was more tolerant of her, otherwise she would think that she was just adding to the trouble by following her at this time.
After Qiao Nian went out with Jiang and Jing, she lost track of them not long after.
Although the battle between Yu Ting and the Zombie King eliminated the Zombie King and most of the high-level zombies, there were too many ordinary zombies to be wiped out at once, so there were still many zombies roaming the streets.
When Jiang Yujing dealt with these zombies, it was impossible for her to follow her and protect her like Yu Ting did.
In this way, the secret that zombies will not attack Qiao Nian will be easily revealed.
Qiao Nian slipped away quietly while no one was paying attention.
Jiang Yujing glanced at her back, a little speechless in his eyes, thinking that she was greedy for life and afraid of death, and fled before the battle.
Qiao Nian arrived at the battlefield after the decisive battle unimpeded all the way.
There used to be tall buildings here, but at this time they have been razed to the ground by the abilities in the battle.
When she glanced around, she saw corpses strewn all over the field, full of blood.
Qiao Nian was so smoked that she almost vomited out.
Dead bodies were densely packed everywhere on the ground.
She didn't know where Yu Ting was, so she could only ask the system for help.
Under the instruction of the system, she stumbled to find where Yu Ting was.
No wonder Jiang and Jing couldn't find anyone.
Yu Ting was actually buried in an underground shopping mall.
He should have been injured in a duel with the Zombie King, and just as the ground collapsed, he was buried in it.
Qiao Nian didn't bring a shovel, even if she did, she couldn't hollow out the underground mall by herself.
She plans to go back and find someone.
But just as she turned to leave, something grabbed her ankle suddenly.
She screamed in fright, and kicked out with a conditioned reflex.
Then a muffled grunt was heard.
Only then did Qiao Nian look down, and saw Yu Ting lying at her feet, still coughing in pain, his face was pale, with blood spilling from the corners of his lips.
Qiao Nian: "..."
Obviously there was no one here just now, so Yu Ting was kicked and vomited blood when she just climbed out?
Guiltyly, Qiao Nian withdrew her feet, quickly squatted down, wiped the blood from the corner of his lips with a tissue with a worried face, and said in an innocent tone, "Brother, are you alright?"
Yu Ting coughed for a long time before stopping, slowly raised his eyes to look at her, grabbed her wrist suddenly, and took a deep breath: "You are disappointed to see that I am not dead?"
Qiao Nian was embarrassed: "I really didn't mean it."
Yu Ting glanced at her, propped his arms on the ground, and seemed to want to sit up, but his body was too weak and had no strength.
Qiao Nian hurried to help him.
This action made him cough a few more times. He has handsome features, but now his pale and bloody appearance is like a sick beauty, which makes people feel pity.
He slowed down for a while, then turned to look at her with deep eyes, and suddenly asked, "Why are you here?"
Qiao Nian was stunned for a moment: "Of course I came out to look for you, but I got separated from other people on the way."
Yu Ting frowned: "Didn't I tell you to stay at the base? You don't know how dangerous it is outside? You..."
Qiao Nian interrupted him, aggrieved and complained: "Are you still murdering me? I didn't come out because of you. Everyone thought you were dead, but I didn't believe it, so I came out to find you..."
As she spoke, her voice paused, but Yu Ting was looking at her with a very strange look.
Did she... did she say something wrong?
"you……"
Just as Qiao Nian was about to speak, her lips softened suddenly.
Yu Ting leaned over and sealed her lips.
His eyes were dark, he looked down at her, and his voice was hoarse: "Just run out like this, aren't you afraid of death?"
She's not going to die at all.
Qiao Nian felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by his deep gaze, she coughed lightly: "Of course I'm afraid, but am I worried about you?"
Yu Ting looked at her for a moment, then suddenly hugged her into his arms, his deep voice sounded above his head: "Don't worry..."
His kiss landed between her brows, along her cheeks and onto her lips little by little, as if there was nothing there, numb.
His voice was low and gentle, and he continued as if with deep affection: "Even if I die, I will leave a breath and come back with you."
Qiao Nian: "..."
Then I really thank you.
Yu Ting's legs were severely smashed, almost deformed.
After returning to the base, it took the doctor an hour to clean and bandage him.
The doctor also prescribed medicine, but he had to cooperate with the healing ability to treat it later, otherwise his two legs would be completely useless.
But even so, his leg will still have to rest for several months before he can resume walking.
Everyone made a wheelchair for him, and in order for him to recuperate well, those business affairs also tried not to disturb him as much as possible.
Yu Ting became more relaxed than ever before.
Qiao Nian also stayed by his side to take care of him, not because he was injured, but because the time in the original book had almost come to an end.
Now that the plot has collapsed like this, without the support of the plot, the world will also collapse in a few days.
During this last time, she treated him better and treated him as hospice care.
In order to replenish his body, Qiao Nian specially cooked a pot of chicken soup for him.
in the room.
Yu Ting sat in a wheelchair, looking at the bowl of unsightly colored chicken soup in front of him.
After a moment of silence, he asked, "This is...black chicken soup?"
Qiao Nian was startled, looked at him, and said hesitantly, "You can call him that if you want?"
Yu Ting: "..."
"Don't look at the color of this soup. It's just that it's too hot and it's a bit mushy." Qiao Nian was as enthusiastic as a salesman, "But I tried it and it tastes really good. Why don't you... give it a try?”
Yu Ting picked up the soup and took a sip.
Qiao Nian hurriedly asked, "Brother, how are you doing?"
Yu Ting met her expectant eyes, and the light in her eyes was also slightly soft: "It's delicious."
As he spoke, he also showed with practical actions that he was not lying, and drank a bowl of hot soup in one go.
Qiao Nian's eyes slightly curved: "You like it so much?"
Yu Ting let out a "hmm".
Qiao Nian immediately said: "Then I'll cook another pot tomorrow!"
Yu Ting paused, and looked at her: "Nian Nian, no need."
"Why?" Qiao Nian looked at him suspiciously, "You despise..."
Before she finished speaking, Yu Ting held her hand, looked at her, and said, "I want you to stay with me."
Qiao Nian looked at him in surprise.
Why is he so clingy after being injured?
……Fine.
"What are you doing with me?" she asked.
Yu Ting looked at her quietly for a while, and said, "Let's go see the stars together."
Qiao Nian: "Okay."
on the roof.
The sky is full of stars, bright and charming.
After experiencing the cruel apocalypse, this kind of night sky, which was common and unnoticed before the apocalypse, looks extraordinarily beautiful and fascinating.
Qiao Nian couldn't help but relax, it's rare to just enjoy the starry sky quietly without thinking about the mission.
Qiao Nian: "The stars are beautiful tonight."
Yu Ting didn't speak, looked at her for a while, his eyes were deep, and suddenly asked her: "How sincere were you when you told me back then?"
Qiao Nian was taken aback, and met his dark and deep eyes, even though his words were endless, she somehow understood which day he was talking about.
It was one night when she was 23 years old.
The stars that night were as charming as tonight.
She watched the stars on the terrace with Yu Ting when she was a teenager.
"Brother, don't you think the stars are beautiful tonight?"
The young man let out a "hmm", with a gentle expression on Qingjun's face, he didn't look at the starry sky, but just looked at her intently.
She looked up at the young man's face, and suddenly approached him, reached out to caress his eyes, and said, "Brother, I found that your eyes are more beautiful than stars, I want to kiss you, is that okay?"
The boy was just slightly taken aback, and said: "Yes."
He also bent down and closed his eyes cooperatively.
She stood on tiptoe and kissed him lightly on the eyes, the boy's figure froze.
When he opened his eyes to look at her, the emotions in his eyes were surging, hot as fire: "Nian Nian..."
She looked at him, her face was reddish, and she smiled: "I like my brother the most."
The boy held her in his arms gently with restraint, his voice scattered in the night wind: "Me too."
Memories flashed through my mind unexpectedly.
Qiao Nian was in a complicated mood. She looked at his eyes that were calmer and deeper than when she was a teenager, and she was speechless for a while.
After that night, they were together.
But he didn't know that among her words at that time, probably... only the sentence that his eyes were beautiful was true.
Yu Ting didn't seem to want her to answer. For him, it was no longer necessary to get to the bottom of it.
The important thing is...they will not be separated again, and she will only like him in the future.
He embraced her in his arms, bowed his head and kissed her.
This kiss was very gentle, like the night wind blowing gently.
After an unknown amount of time, Yu Ting's voice sounded in her ears, low and hoarse: "Nian Nian, after the end of the world, we... get married, okay?"
Qiao Nian: "...Okay."
Since the world will collapse in a few days, it's okay to coax him.
