Chapter 6 (1/2)

Chapter 6 Why Don’t You Give Him A Kiss?

The fallen aircraft hummed for a while, and eventually stopped.

Heine and Reeve stood in front of the cabin door, armed and ready to shoot whoever that came out from the door.

The cabin door slid open, and they were taken by surprise by the countless zombies that was swarming out from the cabin.

”d.a.m.n it——”

Mark drew out his daggers and started killing.

A few zombies ran towards Xiao Yan's direction while letting out a low growl.

”Stand up and run! Hurry!” Reeve shouted at Xiao Yan.

With death before his eyes, not knowing where his strength came from, Xiao Yan hauled the heavy box with his left hand and bashed it into the zombie's face before him. Then with a crack sound, the zombie's brain juice burst out from its skull. But in the next second, another zombie was in front of his face.

Xiao Yan had no weapon nor the ability to fight, so all he could do was stare at the zombie opening its mouth that was about to split apart, revealing its yellowish teeth.

As Xiao Yan was about to shut his eyes and accept his fate, a sharp blade pierced through the zombie's wide-opened mouth and stopped at the position that was less than one centimetre away from Xiao Yan's nose tip.

His heart nearly stopped.

The sound of blade drawing out penetrated Xiao Yan's nerves. The zombie sprawled to the ground, dead.

The darkness was slashed apart, and what lies at the end of Xiao Yan's sight, was Heine with a nonchalant look on his face.

This man has unhesitantly pierced into the depths of Xiao Yan's thoughts and thoroughly conquering it. Xiao Yan could not help but to be in awe of him.

Behind Heine, was a field of the zombies' remains.

In less than a minute, the zombies that swarmed out from the aircraft has been completely cleared up.

Mark kicked off the cabin door and shouted loudly, ”Boss——”

Heine turned away, lowering his eyes, as though Xiao Yan meant nothing to him.

The two pilots from the Tides Organisation had committed suicide.

”Xiao Yan, are you okay?” Reeve rushed over to Xiao Yan, knowing that his injuries were no trivial by looking at his bloodless face.

”……Where's Captain White?”

Xiao Yan had not seen Captain White since the sudden a.s.sault.

Reeve pursed her lips and looked to aside. When Xiao Yan turned to follow her sight line, he saw Captain White lying under a tree, face covered in blood.

Clutching his shoulder, Xiao Yan stumbled towards the tree and realised that a bullet penetrated Captain White's brain.

He placed a hand on Captain White's neck. His body was still warm, but his pulse had stopped.

Head lowered, Xiao Yan felt a lump in his throat.

This was his first time to experience the death of his comrade right before his eyes.

Xiao Yan who has been living in a sheltered life in Charles, has now breathe the unique smell of blood. It has a stench similar to metal rust and despite being still warm in his hand, he felt a bone-chilling cold within the depths of his mind.

”Xiao Yan, we have to rush over to Base 14 now.”

Xiao Yan nodded quietly.

”And we still have to deliver the raw uranium back as soon as possible… so……”

”So we'd have to leave his body here,” Xiao Yan took the box in Captain White's hand, and staggered a little when standing up, ”Reeve, let's go.”

He was dead. Anything done after that would be redundant, but the raw uranium in their hands are especially valuable to Charles.

Xiao Yan gave Captain White's remain a military salute. As he turned around, he saw Heine tighten his fingers, hand raised to his brow, and the moment he lowered his hand was as though he severed all pasts, but exceptionally earnest at the same time.

Mark and Reeve did the same.

No matter how much Special Task Forces disdained technical soldiers, nevertheless, they respect every lost lives of their compatriots from the bottom of their heart.

”Let's go,” Reeve took the box from Xiao Yan's hand as Xiao Yan trailed behind them strenuously.

Reeve turned back to check on Xiao Yan from time to time, for fear he will collapse all of a sudden.

”Hey, Reeve—— If you're so worried about him, why don't you give him a kiss!”

Mark exclaimed in a joking manner whereas his expression showed a hint of seriousness.

Every single Special Force soldiers were injected with X-virus. This was also where their inhuman mobility and healing ability come from.

One kiss, was sufficient for the X-virus, which has lost the ability to replicate after being metabolised in Reeve's body, to enter Xiao Yan's body and temporarily increased the healing ability of his body.

Reeve let out a sigh and came before Xiao Yan. She placed down the boxes and before her fingers came in contact with Xiao Yan's jaw, a person walked over to Xiao Yan's side and lifted him on the shoulder.

The movement was crisp and undefiable.

”Ah——-” Xiao Yan nearly fainted from pain with the sudden movement.

”Boss——” Reeve called out in surprise.

Mark who was standing a few steps away, also had a look where he had choked on his own saliva.

Only then Xiao Yan realised that the one carrying him was Heine Burton!

He lifted a box in each of his hands and proceeded in a steady pace.

Xiao Yan, however, was suffering from living h.e.l.l. His was sick to his stomach, and his dangling arms was jerking his fractured shoulder on every steps taken. The feeling of bone piercing into his muscles made his teeth chatter.

Every minute, every second, was torture.

Reeve stared at Xiao Yan in sympathy but she could do nothing.

At last, Xiao Yan pa.s.sed out from the insufferable pain.

By the time Xiao Yan regain consciousness, he felt a sensation of weightlessness. And the moment his crushed shoulder touches a surface, his eyes snapped open immediately.
