Chapter 165: Scaring Ye Xuan

Can you imagine if I had not advanced? I wouldn’t have been able to kill them so easily.

Zombies are advancing so fast, we need more humans to advance even faster...." Chu Miao was still talking enthusiastically unaware that Ye Xuan couldn’t hear anything she was saying anymore.

He had been shocked and scared senseless by her claim of encountering two level three zombies. Even one zombie was more than enough to make him apprehensive, but she had encountered two!!! Remembering how they had struggled to kill one level two zombie before, then remembering again their last encounter with that mutated rat, he felt as if his heart had left his chest and dropped to his feet.

The only reason he wasn’t going insane was because he could see her in front of him safe and sound.

"How could you take such a risk? What was Chu Hao thinking of taking you to such a place?" Ye Xuan asked with a hoarse voice that had a slight tremble.

Chu Miao’s chatter stopped for a moment and looked at her boyfriend, only to find that his face was pale, causing her to reflect on what she had said.

"I went alone. My brother was in seclusion at the time." She didn’t understand his overreaction.

Ye Xuan, hearing her response felt his heart drop even further. "You went on such a dangerous mission alone?" This time, Chu Miao could capture the trace of fear in his voice.

She hadn’t expected her casual remark to elicit such a reaction from him. But after remembering what happened the last time they went on a mission, she understood his concern. She would be scared as well if something like that happened to him.

Moreover, he hadn’t witnessed her strength since she advanced to the foundation establishment realm, so it was normal to have such a reaction.

Chu Miao grabbed Ye Xuan’s hand and comforted him. "It’s okay. I have advanced to the foundation establishment realm and my superpower has also advanced. I am at the fourth level.

Zombies below level five are definitely no match for me, and so far I haven’t met one yet. Don’t worry too much, I still have a lot of things to do and wouldn’t joke with my life."

She really hadn’t expected him to be so concerned. But she still felt a sweetness in her heart for having someone other than her family care about her wellbeing so much.

"Please don’t take such risks again. No matter how powerful you are, accidents happen and going on such a mission alone could cause trouble." Ye Xuan tightened his grip on the hand holding his hand.

"Okay. I’ll listen to you." Chu Miao understood his concern and decided that she would inform him when going out from now on.

"I gave the fire-type crystal core of one of the zombies to my brother and he went into seclusion to absorb it. I am sure his superpower will improve significantly.

The other one belonged to a strength-type zombie and I don’t know anyone with such a superpower. I just kept it for possible future use.

If you have anyone you know who could use it let me know."

Ye Xuan took a deep breath and accepted the fact that his girlfriend was fearless. He had to get used to it. He now understood why her family looked at her so intently when they heard her ask about the soldier who had been scratched by a zombie and awakened a secondary superpower.

It’s because if not stopped, she would really dare to get herself scratched to see if she could awaken another superpower.

"Alright, if I find a use for it I won’t stand on ceremony." He agreed right away.

"Also, instead of taking Li Kun to get those other soldiers, I could go with you. I think the water is high enough to use a small yacht and with a full-capacity engine, it will only take a few hours to get to our destination.

Just ask them to let you know before they leave the barracks so that we can set out and meet them at the place you agreed.

That way, they can get a bit further away from the base but not give anyone with ulterior motives time to take action against them.

I don’t trust those military leaders that much anymore. They might decide that if they couldn’t use them, then they would eliminate them. So, better not give them a chance." Ye Xuan had planned to oppose her suggestion of going with him because he thought it was too dangerous.

But after hearing her speculations, he changed his mind. She might be a girl, but she is the strongest superpower user and cultivator he knew. So, going with her instead of someone he would have to constantly protect was more practical.

He also had the same thoughts as her. He didn’t believe that the higher-ups would let this go, that’s why he had planned to go meet those soldiers and bring them back himself.

That way, he could protect them. The transportation issue was just an excuse. As elite soldiers, something like a flood couldn’t stamp them and prevent them from traveling.

Qi Long had probably guessed just as much which was why he had agreed to Ye Xuan’s suggestion even though he found it indescribable to have his superior pick him up.

But to ensure the safety of his teammates, he agreed to the suggestion.

"Alright, they probably won’t leave until the day after tomorrow. They are submitting their resignation letters today and even though normally, several procedures and protocols must be followed, which might take up to a month, the circumstances are different now and even the higher-ups understand that one could just leave the military even without proper discharge.

So, they won’t delay too much. Besides, delaying means giving them more time to convince others to quit with them and with their complaints about the lack of sufficient manpower, they won’t risk losing even more people.

So, the discharge will be processed faster than usual. I just hope they stay safe until we can meet them."
