Reborn In The Apocalypse: It Had Always Been You

154 Assault of the Zombie Birds

Gu Zhao was silent for a moment.

Su Shanshan asked directly, “Gu Zhao, where are the zombie birds now?”

When Gu Zhao heard her call his name, his body stiffened before returning to normal. He said, “They will reach the base in about three days.”

“Why didn’t you tell me about the zombie birds last time?” Gu Jincheng suddenly asked.

Gu Zhao said, “Last time, you wouldn’t let me mention Miss Su, so I didn’t have the chance to tell you. Then you went to City K.”

Su Shanshan glared at Gu Jincheng.

He quickly returned a fawning smile. He remembered this incident.

They walked towards the conference room of the base. The officials were already waiting.

Gu Zhao instinctively walked behind Su Shanshan. The two of them were very harmonious. This made Gu Jincheng a little unhappy, especially when he knew that Gu Zhao was thinking about her.

“Gu Zhao, you’re no longer Su Shanshan’s bodyguard,” Gu Jincheng said.

When Gu Zhao heard this, he realized that his thoughts had been exposed. However, he did not panic. Instead, he felt relaxed. He finally did not have to hide anymore.

Only then did Su Shanshan realize what was going on. She was already used to having Gu Zhao standing behind her. She smiled at Gu Zhao and said, “Thank you for the past few days. We’ll be friends from now on.”

Gu Zhao nodded in response and walked behind Gu Jincheng.

Ling Jing whispered to him, “You’re finally free, brother!”

They had been sent to protect a woman despite Gu Zhao’s powerful skills. They felt that it was such a waste of his talents. Now their boss had finally freed him.

Ling Jing had just finished congratulating Gu Zhao when he heard Su Shanshan’s sinister voice. “Oh? So you don’t want to be my bodyguards?” Although she knew that she was indeed a little stupid previously, she was still a little unhappy to be criticized in front of others.

Ling Jing’s face stiffened. He quickly lowered his head and stood still. He looked at the sky and the ground but did not look at Su Shanshan. On the way to City K with her, he realized how terrifying this woman was. He was more and more convinced that Boss was with her. After all, it was better to let Boss take in such a woman to keep others out of harm’s way.

Gu Jincheng’s voice sounded. “We’ll let Ling Jing be Su Shanshan’s bodyguard in the future.”

Su Shanshan chuckled and said, “If you’re willing, why wouldn’t I be? With your ability, it’s likely that I’ll be protecting you.”

Although Ling Jing was unwilling, he could not refuse. They arrived at the conference room in the central area quickly. Those who could enter were all the official heads of the base.

As soon as they entered the room, everyone’s gaze was on them. When they saw Gu Jincheng sitting in the wheelchair, they were stunned for a moment. Then they exchanged glances and their eyes flickered with ill intentions. They were living in the end times. The strong would rule. They respected Gu Jincheng because of his strength. Once he lost his strength, their chance had come.

At one glance, Su Shanshan saw the meaning in their eyes. She snorted and threw out the Tang sword in her hand, stabbing it into the center of the table. The chill from the tip of the sword revealed her superpower level.

Everyone present was stunned by her aura. They originally thought that she was just Gu Jincheng’s lover, but they did not expect her to have superpowers . She should be a level higher than Gu Jincheng. Could she be a level-six superpower?

Previously, Gu Jincheng had concealed his level. Everyone thought that he was a level-five superpowered person, so they thought that Su Shanshan was stronger than him.
