So sweet! She's pampered like a precious gem in her little world.

Chapter 130 Little Flower Tames the Loyal Zombie King (11)

As the convoy approached the target shopping mall, Chu Hua's voice came through the communicator in the car.

"Cars one, two, and three, go around to the back gate and meet there; cars four, five, and six, meet at the front gate."

"Seven vehicles are responsible for mobile patrols and reconnaissance in the vicinity."

With one hand on the steering wheel, Qi Heng casually tapped the communicator microphone with the other, "Seven cars received."

I parked the car in a spot with a good view on the side of the mall, and turned to look at the well-behaved little girl sitting in the passenger seat.

"Are you scared?"

"Not afraid."

If it weren't for the incredibly vivid expression on her face, Qi Heng would almost have believed it.

He reached out and gently touched the little girl's soft hair, soothingly whispering, "Don't be afraid, Xiao Bao. With me here, zombies usually won't come close easily."

Chu Yu: "..."

He might as well not offer any comfort.

"So that means the zombies that approach us aren't ordinary zombies?"

She wasn't that scared at first, but after Qi Heng said that, she's really starting to worry...

Qi Heng: "..."

Careless.

The little girl's voice was already trembling with tears when she spoke; she was truly frightened.

"Click——"

Qi Heng deftly unbuckled their seatbelts.

Chu Yu's heart clenched, and she asked tremblingly, "What are you going to do?"

Are we going to have to get off the bus now to do a mission...?

next second.

The man leaned closer, his large hands gripping her armpits, and effortlessly lifted her up, holding her as she straddled his lap.

Before she could react, Qi Heng's hands were already around her back, and with a slight pull, he easily drew her into his arms, holding her tightly.

He lowered his head and kissed her temple, gently coaxing, "Don't be afraid, sweetheart. I'm here. No matter who comes, it'll be alright. I'll protect you. Trust me, okay?"

Chu Yu pressed her face against Qi Heng's chest, clearly listening to his strong heartbeat, her nose filled with the familiar scent of a man.

The man's warm palm gently stroked her back.

His calming effect on my tense and uneasy mood was soothed.

The communicator occasionally picked up conversations between Chu Hua and her teammates.

Unable to pinpoint the exact location of the survivors, they split into five groups and began a search and rescue operation, layer by layer.

The team that found the survivors immediately took them back to the vehicle to wait for orders.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner.

Qi Heng also drove around the mall to inspect the situation as required.

Just as the last rescue team successfully located the last two survivors and was preparing to return to their vehicle, an accident occurred.

Suddenly, a colossal creature appeared in the once quiet third-floor atrium!

Everyone held their breath in tension when they heard the terrified and helpless cry for help coming through the communicator.

They had encountered zombie attacks before, and the experienced team members were well-prepared to deal with them.

No one expected that this time it would be different from the usual.

According to the victims, the monster appeared to be at least three or four meters tall, almost unrecognizable as human, with multiple octopus-like tentacles extending from its body.

All weapon attacks are ineffective against it.

The opponent's true strength is currently unknown; the two sides have only fought once and are currently in a stalemate.

Chu Hua calmly instructed them to stabilize the situation first, and then arranged for her team members to retreat back to the car before she went to the third floor to provide support.

Is Qi Heng here?

"Yes, the seven cars have already joined the convoy at the main gate."

Chu Hua was rushing towards the monster's location when she paused for a few seconds before giving the order: "Qi Heng and Chu Yu, come to the third floor to provide support immediately. The remaining six vehicles will meet at the main entrance and wait for orders. Qin Feng will temporarily take command."

Qin Feng is Chu Hua's deputy. He usually works as an assistant, but Chu Hua will let him temporarily take command when the situation becomes critical.

"Roger that!"

Chu Yu knew that her sister had been hesitating for a few seconds just now because she was wondering whether or not to let her come up with her.

From a public perspective, the mission involved group operations, and since she and Qi Heng were in the same group, they should have gone to the third floor together to provide support.

However, personally, everyone knew that the danger they faced at this moment was different from the past. No one was confident that they could successfully defeat the monster and escape unscathed. Of course, Chu Hua did not want her beloved younger sister to take the risk.

After receiving the instructions, Qi Heng began packing things—for Chu Yu.

He pulled out a protective suit from under the seat and helped her put it on, then took out all the weapons in the car and arranged them neatly.

After doing all this, Qi Heng raised his hand and turned off the communicator. He turned to face her, his expression serious, and his tone colder than ever before:

"Xiao Bao, listen to me. You'll be sitting in the driver's seat in a bit. All the weapons in the car are here. If anything happens, don't worry about anything else, just drive straight back to base. Got it?"

Chu Yu was stunned for a moment before realizing what he was doing. She calmly replied, "The leader just said that the two of us should go to provide support together. I know you used to be unruly, but once you come to the base, you must learn to obey orders."

Looking into the undisguised worry in the man's dark eyes, her heart softened. She reached out and took his hand, speaking softly:

"I know you're worried about me, but didn't you say you'd protect me? Let's go, let's go up together."

As she spoke, she took the pistol that Qi Heng had prepared for her, turned on her communicator, and got out of the car first.

Seeing this, Qi Heng pursed his thin lips, packed up his equipment, and got out of the car.

He strode over to the little girl, grabbed her slender wrist, and led her into the building. Without turning back, he solemnly instructed, "From now on, you must stay obediently behind me. No matter what happens, you must not act on your own!"

Finally, seemingly realizing that his tone had been a bit harsh, he softened his voice and added, "Sweetie, listen to me this once, okay, okay?"

My tense heart eased a little because of his suddenly softened tone.

Chu Yu smiled, her lips curving upwards, and squeezed his hand with her small hand. "I know! Yes, Captain!"

Yes, Captain...

Qi Heng gritted his teeth, his Adam's apple bobbing imperceptibly.

The young girl always flirts without realizing it.

But he was completely helpless!

As they spoke, the two arrived at the stairwell on the third floor. Turning the corner ahead, they would find the central courtyard where the monster was located.

Qi Heng suddenly stopped in his tracks here.

"what happened?"

Chu Yu stopped in her tracks, lowered her voice and asked in confusion, while peeking her head out from the side to look ahead.

She only has healing abilities and her perception isn't very good, so she can't detect potential dangers nearby.

Qi Heng had already sensed the aura of this high-level mutated zombie from afar, and he did not hide his own aura.

No matter how they mutate, all zombies will always be wary of the Zombie King. Low- and mid-level zombies will avoid him as much as possible, and even if they encounter him head-on, they will not attack but will submit directly.

The high-level zombie whose exact strength was still unclear today clearly hesitated after sensing the aura released by Qi Heng.

It no longer takes the initiative, but instead cautiously observes the situation and waits for Qi Heng to appear.

Qi Heng stood at the entrance of the stairwell, turning to the side to block his back, and looked down at the little girl in front of him intently.

"You remember everything I just said?"

"remember!"

"Okay, good children will get a reward."

After saying that, he lowered his head and kissed her forehead.
