Chapter 6.04 – Difficult To Get Along (2)

Under the moonlight outside, an expressionless zombie was looking around. After some time, he reached out a withered hand towards the silhouette on the glass.

Just as its nails made contact, a terrible sound could be heard. Xu Yan Ze immediately summoned an icicle and sunk it into the zombie’s head. Before the zombie could fall onto the ground, several more icicles appeared to catch it so it didn’t make any sound.

Having successfully resolved this danger, he let out a sigh of relief but felt his left hand being clawed at. He turned back and saw Xiang Han taking deep gulps of air and quickly pressed it back.

Xiang Han released a muffled cry and glared at him.

Xu Yan Ze warned, “After I release you, breathe softly.”

He was almost about to die, how could he breathe softly?

Xiang Han nodded furiously before Xu Yan Ze slowly released him. He immediately took a deep breath and released slowly, before taking another…

After several times, he finally recovered and was about to speak when Xu Yan Ze suddenly spoke first. “Hold your breath!”

A breath was lodged in Xiang Han’s chest. He could neither inhale nor exhale.

As the zombie wave approached, more zombies appeared and the perimeter of the supermarket was filled with nailed zombies.

In the beginning, Xiang Han was nervous. Using his cheat, he reminded Xu Yan Ze several times until he became accustomed to it. Towards the end, he even fell asleep against the other person.

When the smell of sweat hit his nose, he immediately pushed Xiang Han away and thought with disdain that coming so close was certainly a ploy to seduce him. Moreover, Xiang Han slept for a long time in the day, how could he still sleep now? He must be faking it.

After being pushed away, Xiang Han was soon covered in a layer of sweat as he tried to find something cool. Moving closer, he even mumbled, “Yan Ze…”

Xu Yan Ze was speechless. Are we very close? Where did he hear my name from? And how dare he call out so familiarly! He must definitely be faking it. I knew he wanted to seduce me!

He pushed him away again but his hand came into contact with heat and sweat. When Xiang Han’s lips parted to exhale, the breath that came out was also a bit hot.

Xu Yan Ze quickly retracted his hand and decided to move further away.

But after some time, Xiang Han approached him again. Due to the lack of space, Xu Yan Ze had no other way. He simply constructed an icicle for him while secretly thinking to himself: Pretend, continue to pretend!

With the ice, Xiang Han no longer sought him out and Xu Yan Ze could finally sigh in relief.

The next morning, Xiang Han was awoken by a loud noise. Once he opened his eyes, he saw Beardy’s rough-looking face.

“Haha, lad. Did you dream of a toilet? How did you pee yourself like this?”

Xiang Han looked at his soaked shirt and pants, and was startled.

“Can you pee all over yourself?” He subconsciously frowned. Where did all this water come from?

After suffering a strike from Beardy’s words, he quickly thought of a possibility. Although he couldn’t pee all over himself, someone else could have! Judging from yesterday’s situation, these people didn’t have water, which means that those on him… it couldn’t be that those people treated him as a toilet…

Xiang Han’s expression twisted and unconsciously looked toward Xu Yan Ze. They had been together, so he should also have been…

Ah, he nearly forgot that this man was wearing leather.

Xiang Han frowned and pulled up his shirt to sniff it. En, there’s no urine smell. He might be wrong or… it could be that the smell of sweat was too overpowering.

Noticing that Xiang Han had glanced at him, Xu Yan Ze felt it was strange.

Xu Yan Ze froze. If you want to lift, just lift it. Why did Xiang Han look at him?

This must be deliberate! Attempting to seduce him in front of so many people, this rich second-generation was probably not looking for a short-term backer, but just too thirsty.

In such trying times, surviving was uncertain. He had no interest in playing along with this brat.

Xu Yan Ze gave him a warning glance before instructing the other team members, “Pack up and get ready to move off.”

Xiang Han was confused. He only wanted to sniff his shirt, how had he offended him?

Ah, he didn’t expect the Xu Yan Ze before transmigrating to be so difficult to get along with. He quickly picked up his seeds and followed the crowd.

There were 13 people in the team but only two off-road vehicles. One could seat five, and the other could seat seven. The originally insufficient space had an additional Xiang Han now.

Before they left, the doll-faced youth told Xu Yan Ze, “Captain, we already have one additional member, this brat should take your car.”

Xu Yan Ze glanced at Xiang Han and gave a low hum.

Xiang Han was pleased and he hurriedly followed along.

This made Xu Yan Ze pause. He turned around and asked, “Are you very happy?”

“That’s right.” Xiang Han nodded fervently. Even if he disregarded his mission, the fact that this person was a human icicle was enough for him to want to share the same car.

Xu Yan Ze couldn’t hold himself back from touching his temples. What went wrong with his brain yesterday for him to agree to allow this lad to join them?

In the day, there were fewer zombies coupled with the heap of corpses outside the supermarket that gave off a stench to deter other zombies. The group successfully reached the car without attracting any attention.

There would be some zombies that would discover them from time to time but would be swiftly dealt with.

Xu Yan Ze didn’t catch a wink of sleep at all so he intended to rest in the car. Once he got on, he immediately took the passenger seat.

When Xiang Han saw this, he immediately told the others, “I’ll drive.”

Looking at his dripping wet state, the others also had no desire to squeeze in with him but they still hesitated. “How are your skills?”

“Don’t worry. There won’t be any problems.” Xiang Han assured them. Although he hadn’t driven for a long time, he still had the system.

Once Xu Yan Ze sat in the car, he closed his eyes to rest until the car seemed bumped into something. He opened his eyes and frowned when he saw it was Xiang Han. “Why is it you?”

“Uh, they’re too tired.” Xiang Han glanced at him guiltily.

There was a zombie that had just appeared on the road. He didn’t manage to avoid it in time and directly rolled over it which woke Xu Yan Ze up.

Xu Yan Ze felt that he had to hand it to this rich second-generation. He truly wouldn’t give up any opportunities to get closer to himself.

He simply decided to close his eyes and go back to rest so he wouldn’t feel frustrated over something he couldn’t see. However, in front of them was a tollbooth where many zombies congregated. Thankfully, the emergency pathway didn’t have other cars and had been cleared before, so there were only a few zombies strolling about.

Xiang Han drove the whole way like a bowling bowl striking all ten pins. Banging sounds could be heard.

It didn’t take long for Xu Yan Ze to wake up but this time, he wasn’t angry. After seeing the situation for what it is, he sat up straighter and instructed, “Drive faster.”

“Oh.” Xiang Han stepped down on the accelerator but just as the car sped up, a zombie on a nearby truck suddenly leapt towards them and landed on the roof of their vehicle. It used its teeth and claws to puncture the glass.

Xu Yan Ze cursed. He couldn’t see the situation on the roof so he summoned a row of icicles and swept it across.

With a ‘pu’, the sound of something sharp penetrating flesh could be heard before everything fell silent. The spectators let out a breath but soon, a withered claw continued to head for them. It scratched loudly against the window. Evidently, the icicle had failed to hit the zombie’s brain.

Xu Yan Ze’s expression wasn’t pretty. After a moment, he unexpectedly opened the window and grabbed the hand, pulling it down. The rotting arm was broken off while the zombie’s head suddenly lowered. It opened its pus-filled mouth and bit towards Xu Yan Ze.

Xu Yan Ze swiftly gripped it by its neck and used some force to squeeze. The members sitting behind hurriedly picked up their guns but didn’t have time to pull the trigger before its head abruptly exploded, leaving behind only the splatter of dark-coloured blood. Then, it was thrown off the car.

He looked at the clothes stained with blood with disgust and closed the window. Then, he turned to look at Xiang Han and after some time, he suddenly gave a dull word of thanks.

“It’s nothing. It was my fault for driving too slow in the first place.” Xiang Han quickly shook his head.

Though when he said this, the corners of his lips were raised. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was rather dangerous, but it wasn’t a terrible thing since he had managed to increase his favourability with Xu Yan Ze.

Xu Yan Ze’s lips twitched. Was he that happy to be able to help him? His mouth was nearly reaching his ear.

He found himself unable to look on further and coldly reminded, “Watch the road!”

“Okay.” Xiang Han immediately grew solemn. But after some time, he began to mull over it. Should he strike while the iron was still hot and used this chance to get closer to him?

“Uh… Yan Ze…” He instinctively opened his mouth to speak but once he turned around, he was depressed to find that the other person had already fallen asleep.

A young woman sitting in the back looked curiously at him.

At noon, the group stopped under a tree by the road to catch a break and eat some food.

The young woman came closer to Xiang Han and introduced herself, “I’m Xu Lele. What’s your name?”

Apart from Beardy, this was the only person who greeted him. It was a good beginning.

Xiang Han was excited. “Hello, I’m Wu Han.”

The two chatted for a bit before Xu Lele asked, “Did you know our Captain from before?”

Xiang Han was surprised. Was it obvious?

“It… can be considered so. But he doesn’t remember it.”

“Oh, no wonder.” Xu Lele seemed to understand something and she continued, “Actually, there aren’t many people in the team who know his name. You’re the first person I’ve heard calling him.”

Xiang Han was baffled. “You don’t even know his name yet you allowed him to be your captain?”

Xu Lele shrugged. “What’s the big deal? It’s not a name that we trust in.”

“True.” Xiang Han chewed the expired biscuit and forced himself to swallow it. “Speaking of which, why does your whole team have facial paralysis? Is Xu Yan Ze also always like this?”

When Xu Lele heard this, she couldn’t hold back a laugh. She shook her head. “Hard to say. Actually, I’ve only joined for half a year, but now that you said it, I feel that it’s the case. Perhaps powerful people like to say fewer words.”

How was this just fewer? The words of ten people combined were even less than Beardy alone.

Xiang Han frowned and continued to chew two more pieces of biscuits before giving the rest to Xu Lele. “Is your Captain… a little hard to get along with?”

Meanwhile, Xu Yan Ze saw Xiang Han and a female member crouched together, chatting and laughing. Inexplicably, he circled around them from behind and happened to hear Xu Lele say, “Not really. Although Captain Xu looks cold, he’s a good person. As long as you don’t touch his bottom line, he’s easy to get along with.”

Xiang Han: “…” So, what is his bottom line? For some reason, he felt as if he was always offending this person.

Xu Yan Ze suddenly had a realisation. This rich second-generation had come to his team member to ask about him. No wonder he even gave half of his biscuits to her, tsk!
