When Gu Zhao heard about his ice-type supernatural power, he instantly thought of Su Shanshan. He quickly said, “Let me investigate this matter.”
Gu Jincheng looked at him in surprise, but nodded and agreed.
“Why are you here?” Gu Jincheng asked again.
Gu Zhao paused for a moment and said, “I’m here to report that someone broke into the central district last night.”
He did not continue. Gu Jincheng waved his hand to let them go, indicating that they did not have to bother about this matter anymore.
After Gu Zhao and Gu Ling left, Gu Ling did not notice his brother’s abnormality at all. He was still jabbering on and on. “Gu Zhao, the moment you heard that she wasn’t dead, your reaction was so strong. You must
have suffered a lot when you were with Su Shanshan.”
As he spoke, he patted Gu Zhao on the shoulder to express his sympathy.
Gu Zhao’s expression was a little stiff. He quickly asked, “When did you meet Su Shanshan?”
“Just yesterday, at the entrance of the central district, she even called Boss, but Boss ignored her. You should have seen her expression at that time, hahaha.”
Gu Ling was still laughing when he turned around and realized that Gu Zhao had disappeared. He shook his head, feeling baffled.
Anxiety was written all over Gu Zhao’s face. He was well aware of Su Shanshan’s feelings for Gu Jincheng. How sad she must have been when his master ignored her yesterday.
However, he stopped in his tracks. His master had already forgotten about her. What if he could never remember? The flame that he had quashed ignited once again in his heart. He suddenly retracted his unrealistic
thoughts. He would find her first.
Su Shanshan followed Cao Yunjin to the hall where the mercenary groups were accepting missions. The moment they entered, they saw a big screen. On it were all sorts of missions that were waiting to be accepted.
The missions’ levels ranged from high to low. The topmost mission was a rare SSS-rank mission: Clearing the zombies in City K.
Su Shanshan took a few more looks. This was the mission that Jinsi had mentioned yesterday. This mission could only be undertaken by the top five mercenary groups in the base. New mercenaries like them were not
qualified at all. Su Shanshan stopped paying attention to the screen.
Cao Yunjin accepted a few small missions and walked back with Su Shanshan. The streets were filled with stalls selling everything. Luxury goods from before the apocalypse could be traded for half a loaf of bread.
There were also many herbs and strange stones…
“Sister Shanshan!” A familiar voice sounded.
Su Shanshan turned around and saw someone familiar. It was Fei Lan.
Fei Lan looked at Su Shanshan in front of him and rubbed his eyes to make sure that he was not seeing things. His eyes ached and he almost cried. A year ago, he could not forget the scene of Su Shanshan being killed
by zombies and sinking into the ground with City M. He did not expect her to still be alive.
He thought about it and felt that it was only right. How could someone like Sister Shanshan die so easily?
“Are you with Gu Jincheng now?” Su Shanshan remembered that he was with Gu Jincheng previously and asked.
Fei Lan scratched his head and said, “No, I joined the Wild Wolves Mercenary Group. After what happened to you, Mr. Gu seemed to have gone crazy. Then we were knocked unconscious by his supernatural power
riot. When we woke up again, Mr. Gu was gone. I followed Gu Zhao and the rest to the Southwestern base and we parted ways.”
Su Shanshan frowned and asked, “You’re saying that Gu Jincheng disappeared?”
Fei Lan nodded and said, “He only appeared two months after we arrived at the Southwestern base. As soon as he appeared, he brought that annoying woman with him.”
Fei Lan said indignantly how annoying Liu Zhixi was in the base every day. She was arrogant and acted like she was the mistress of the Gu family. He did not know why Mr. Gu brought such a woman along with him.
After he finished speaking, he realized that Su Shanshan’s expression was a little heavy, and his voice slowly fell…
