Chapter 39: Giving Her a Rose

He Fengyan’s gaze landed on Wen Yao, who was standing beside Ji Mingchen. The beautiful and serene girl was wearing a white dress, holding a rose, her aura gentle and pure.

“…” Good, today’s main business is going to be delayed again.

He glanced at the sky, which was filled with dark clouds, and he really didn’t know where the good weather was. But since this person was Captain Ming, he could only lower his head and respectfully say, “…Captain Ming, just give your orders.”

Ji Mingchen smiled gently, “Then I’ll trouble Captain He to take a walk with us.”

After settling into the spacious backseat, Ji Mingchen asked Wen Yao, “Where do you want to go?”

Wen Yao had only planned to stroll around the ancient castle villa area, and she hadn’t expected him to take her for a drive. Not only did he have a driver, but also an assistant accompanying them.

To this, she actually had no objections. After all, she had nothing else to do.

There were four major districts in Gangqiao City, north, south, east, and west. She had only visited a small fraction of them, many places she hadn’t even stepped foot in. It would be good to expand her map.

Of course, she was most interested in abilities, and the places where she could see different ability users would undoubtedly be battlefields.

In the early days of the apocalypse when abilities were awakening, ability users were few and far between, extremely rare in all four continents.

Except for the future in that dream, Wen Yao had only seen two ability users so far, one was a wood-type ability user from the Beizhou, and the other was Ji Mingchen.

Thinking about this, she said, “Can we go see the southwest city wall?”

Gangqiao City was not only an international metropolis but also an ancient capital. The southwest city wall on the outskirts of the city was a defensive wall built by people during ancient wars, with a history of over 3,000 years.

Before the apocalypse, this place was a famous tourist attraction, but after the outbreak of the zombie crisis, due to its strong construction and suitability for defense, it became the first line of defense for Gangqiao City.

Later, when the electric fence was built, because the southwest city wall was the strongest, many zombie tides were deliberately lured here to be destroyed…

Today, the southwest city wall is known as the “Zombie Slaughterhouse.” The dozens of elite teams that take turns guarding here are cleaning up the endless stream of zombie variants every day.

Wen Yao learned about the southwest city wall from the F camp, and she had long wanted to see it, but she never had the time or opportunity.

The girl’s light words fell, not only did Ji Mingchen look at her in disbelief, even the driver and He Fengyan couldn’t help but turn their heads to look at her.

Captain Ming’s intention was clearly to take this girl on a date, asking her where she wanted to go, but what did she answer? The southwest city wall?!

That was the zombie slaughterhouse, where all kinds of zombie tides and variants were drawn, a bloody, brutal battlefield, terrifying, disgusting, and dangerous, a place that normal people would avoid at all costs.

She, a little girl, actually wanted to go see such a place, her hobby was truly unique…

He Fengyan silently withdrew his gaze, thinking to himself, as expected of Captain Ming’s woman, she was truly extraordinary.

Wen Yao saw their different expressions and felt a little uneasy. She only knew that the southwest city wall was an important battleground where the 14th district base team was stationed, and she wasn’t sure if she was allowed to go there.

“If it’s not possible… then forget it.” As soon as her soft words fell, Ji Mingchen touched her hair, smiling as he looked at the driver in front and instructed, “Let’s go see the southwest city wall then.”

“The little girl likes to watch the battle and kill zombies.”

“…”

Driver: “Okay.”

The southwest city wall was located on the outskirts of the city, and it took three hours to reach it by car.

After getting off the car, the first thing that came into view was the towering, dark green ancient city wall, stretching out to the left and right, vast and boundless.

The dark clouds pressed down from the sky, and the ground was overgrown with weeds and deserted, only on the high city wall could one see the armed teams coming and going.

As soon as they got off the car, Wen Yao smelled the extremely fishy blood, and not far away, the zombies were howling miserably, the sounds of gunfire, thick blood splattering, and the sounds of gunfire were constant.

It was not difficult to guess that behind this thick and high wall, there were countless zombies and variants being executed…

Ji Mingchen glanced at the towering city wall, slightly turned his body and lowered his head to ask Wen Yao, “Do you want to go up and take a look?”

Wen Yao nodded, “Yeah.”

Ji Mingchen then took the girl’s hand and walked towards the stone steps near the high wall, He Fengyan followed behind with his gun.

This time, the act of holding hands was very natural. The man didn’t even lower his head to look, he just reached out and naturally grasped the small hand that was hanging beside the white skirt, as if this was the most normal thing in the world.

Seven years after the apocalypse, Wen Yao had never been held by anyone like this. No one would treat her with such care, and with her abilities, she never needed to be held like this.

As a result, her first reaction when Ji Mingchen held her hand was that she was uncomfortable, and her second reaction was that it felt a little warm, actually, it wasn’t unpleasant…

…

On the other side of the towering city wall, it was exactly as Wen Yao had guessed.

The electric fence of Gangqiao City had a small gap here, and countless zombies were swarming in from the arc-shaped city wall. Looking around, they were a vast, dark, green mass, flowing and surging like a thick, dark green paste.

The team members on the high wall were responsible for shooting them dead and then burning them completely with oil and fire to prevent their bodies from infecting other creatures and causing a new round of mutations.

Dark clouds rolled across the sky, and there were low rumbling sounds of thunder in the distance. Under the high wall, the zombies piled up like a tide, the sound of bullets and guns was deafening, and occasionally two agile climbing variants poked their heads out from the edge of the wall, scaring the soldiers into immediately aiming their sniper rifles at them and firing a barrage of shots.

“Damn it! Captain Li, keep an eye on that!”

“I’m watching, but it’s too fast, I missed several shots!”

“What the hell! Did this thing mutate again?!”
