Chapter 67: Reflection
Lin Qing’s inner self sobbed endlessly. ‘Why am I always the one getting jabbed at? What did I do?’
However, he did not dare slow his movements and continued killing zombies while thinking up ways to plead with Yun Huan. “As you can see, Boss, I am courageous and strong and valiant in killing zombies. I don’t need any further tempering.”
Yun Huan gave Lin Qing a cold look and gazed at his fox eyes, which were filled with anticipation. His lips curved into an arc, and just when Lin Qing thought that he had broken through to him, Yun Huan doused his celebratory thoughts with a frigid response.
“Is that so? Since you’re so courageous and strong, I’ll give you the task of killing the zombies here.”
Lin Qing choked, knowing that regardless of what he tried to do, he could not escape Yun Huan’s decision. He had no choice but to accept his fate and kill off the zombies.
Qin Yi found Yun Huan and Lin Qing’s interaction extremely laughable; she never expected the cold Yun Huan to have this side to him.
Truly, everyone in the outside world had glorified him as a divine being, but no one knew that the man had a human side to him as well.
However, after reflecting on it, wasn’t she the same? The cold appearance was just a layer of protection. They could only reveal their other side in front of people that they trusted.
When Lin Qing finally cleared out all of the zombies, he felt as though his hands were no longer his own.
Seeing the group laughing in disdain behind him, he felt endless grief. He had killed off the zombies to the point of fatigue while they relaxed and chatted. The only thing missing was a table full of tea and snacks.
Lin Qing’s aggrieved eyes were too obvious, to the point that it was impossible for Lin Bai and the others to ignore him.
Yun Huan glanced at Lin Qing and asked with indifference, “You’ve cleared them all?”
Lin Qing nodded his head in misery and looked at Yun Huan with eyes like that of a young married woman.
“Do you know why I made you kill all the zombies alone?” Yun Huan asked.
Lin Qing shook his head firmly, not knowing the reason why. He was not yet awakened and could not kill off the zombies as effectively as Boss and the others. He could only kill them one by one.
Yun Huan looked at Lin Qing, his ice cold peach eyes holding a trace of seriousness as he spoke, “You are the weakest amongst us and it is impossible for us to be together all the time. There will definitely be times, especially dangerous ones, when we will be unable to rush over to your side immediately.”
Yun Huan paused for a moment then spoke up again, but this time, his words were not only for Lin Qing, but for everyone else to hear too. “We are in an apocalypse and danger is all around us. All of us need to have self preservation. In times of danger, the only one who can save you is yourself.”
Lin Qing lowered his head as he heard those words. He knew that Boss was doing it for his sake. Indeed, he had been goofing off recently.
He figured that with Boss and Qin Yi around, there was nothing to be afraid of. Adding in the desire to awaken his own abilities in the future, he had overlooked his own personal strength.
In the group, he was indeed the worst in terms of talent, and even Big Bai, who had not awakened any abilities either, was better than him.
He was lost in the days of comfort and ease. They were in the apocalypse now, and no one knew what the future might have in store for them, with bigger dangers and stronger enemies. He had to work hard to keep up with the rest and could not afford to lag behind.
Lin Qing reflected upon himself earnestly, and the carefree smile on his face disappeared as he looked Yun Huan solemnly in the eyes and said, “Boss, I was wrong. I will not make this mistake again.”
Lin Bai and the rest also reflected upon themselves and realized that they were indeed impatient and had underestimated the apocalypse. If not for Yun Huan’s reminder today, who knows what might have happened in the days ahead.
