Having sex with a beautiful woman for the first time made Zhao Tianlei feel as if he had ascended to heaven. He had no idea how much time had passed before the two of them collapsed onto the floor. Zhao Tianlei directly carried Cheng Yao to the bed, and after exchanging a glance, they somehow fell asleep just like that.
As time passed, when Zhao Tianlei woke again and opened his eyes, he discovered someone was just inches away, staring at him. He was startled and instinctively tried to push her away and look for the fire axe.
"You're awake. You were sleeping so soundly, so I didn't dare disturb you."
The beauty suddenly spoke, and Zhao Tianlei finally relaxed. It seemed he had simply been too sensitive. In the midst of this apocalypse, he had never expected to have such an encounter with a beautiful woman. He really didn't know whether he should thank the apocalypse for arriving.
"Yeah. I didn't expect I could sleep this comfortably even in the apocalypse. Looks like I have you to thank for throwing yourself at me like that." Zhao Tianlei looked at Cheng Yao and couldn't help laughing.
Zhao Tianlei's joke immediately made Cheng Yao's cheeks flush. She bit her lips tightly, not knowing how to respond.
Seeing her like this, Zhao Tianlei gently patted her head and said, "All right, I don't know what made you cry earlier, and I don't know why you gave yourself to me like that. But you can rest assured about one thing. Since I chose to save you, I'll protect you as long as you don't betray me or repay my kindness with ingratitude. Besides... besides, that was my first time too. Even if you don't have feelings for me, you're like my girlfriend now. I'll do my best to protect you, but from now on, you have to listen to me."
Cheng Yao had never imagined that Zhao Tianlei would say such things to her. She immediately nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, I'll obediently listen to you. I definitely won't repay your kindness with ingratitude." As she spoke, Cheng Yao threw herself into Zhao Tianlei's arms again and hugged him tightly.
Seeing this, Zhao Tianlei hurriedly advised her, "All right, if you keep hugging me like this, we'll be having sex again in a moment. It looks like the rain has stopped outside. We need to conserve some strength and take this opportunity to escape. Staying here will get us killed sooner or later."
Hearing this, Cheng Yao asked worriedly, "We're leaving? Isn't it safe for us to hide here? There are zombies everywhere outside. Where are we supposed to go?"
Zhao Tianlei said seriously, "Before I rescued you yesterday, I watched some news. The whole world has become like this. The authorities have already dispatched the military to conduct rescues while organizing people to establish survivor bases. Yuzhou City is huge, though. There's a military garrison nearby, but it's still far from our school. I'm guessing the troops will start expanding their search from the areas around their base. If we simply wait here for them to rescue us, who knows when they'll arrive."
"So I think we should prepare some things and head toward the military garrison. We might run into other survivors or search teams along the way. That's still better than waiting here to die. Besides, this place may be safe, but there are huge numbers of zombies gathered in the corridor. Even one moderately loud noise could attract them. Those zombies are like a time bomb."
Cheng Yao nodded and said, "All right, then. I'll listen to everything you say, as long as you don't abandon me."
Zhao Tianlei then glanced at Cheng Yao's snow-white skin and said, "Go check whether there are any clothes in that wardrobe. It won't be very convenient for you to go outside with me dressed like that. If we encounter other survivors with bad intentions, you'll be in greater danger too. Find something to wear."
After Zhao Tianlei said this, Cheng Yao's entire face turned red. She murmured an acknowledgment, then walked to the wardrobe and opened it as he had instructed. Sure enough, there were some clothes inside, and they were women's clothes at that. Most of them were relatively mature work outfits, but compared with Cheng Yao's bare body, they were better than nothing. After choosing a few pieces and putting them on, Cheng Yao finally felt a little safer. When she looked over at Zhao Tianlei, he had already begun taking apart the bedsheets and tying them together. Cheng Yao hurried over to help, and in no time, the two of them had prepared everything they needed to get downstairs.
After tying the bedsheets and quilt cover together and securing them to the window, Zhao Tianlei comforted Cheng Yao, saying, "I'll go down first and check whether it's safe. Once I confirm there are no zombies nearby, you can follow me down. Don't be afraid. I'm not like Lin Mu and Qian Hao. Since I've promised you, I absolutely won't leave you behind."
For some reason, although Cheng Yao had only known Zhao Tianlei for a short time, she truly trusted him from the bottom of her heart. She immediately nodded silently at him without saying another word.
Seeing her like this, Zhao Tianlei gently stroked her cheek. Then, holding the fire axe in one hand and the bedsheet in the other, he began climbing down. He didn't encounter any danger until he slid down to the lawn on the ground. Apparently, the zombies were either all inside the library or had dispersed. After confirming that the surroundings were safe, Zhao Tianlei tugged on the bedsheet and waved to signal Cheng Yao above.
It would have been a lie to say Cheng Yao wasn't worried that Zhao Tianlei would abandon her. The moment Zhao Tianlei landed on the lawn, her heart had practically leaped into her throat. During peaceful times, with her looks and figure, she could be considered a moderately attractive girl in the Art Department, and naturally, she had attracted the pursuit of some male students.
But after the apocalypse arrived, she had no advantage when it came to survival. She might even become nothing more than a plaything for certain men. Zhao Tianlei's appearance had given Cheng Yao new hope, and she had always been afraid that this hope would be shattered. She had even imagined that after Zhao Tianlei slid down from the building, he would turn around and leave just like Lin Mu and Qian Hao had, since to men like them, she was nothing more than a burden.
But Zhao Tianlei's actions filled Cheng Yao with delight. She bit her lips and held back the urge to scream excitedly. Following Zhao Tianlei's example, she climbed through the window, hugged the bedsheet, and slowly slid down. In any case, although Cheng Yao looked like a frail young woman, she had also trained in an art dance class, so this wasn't too difficult as long as she gathered her courage. After landing safely, Cheng Yao didn't bother checking whether the surroundings were safe. She threw herself directly into Zhao Tianlei's arms and gave him a huge kiss.
"Mmph..." Startled again by Cheng Yao's sudden move, Zhao Tianlei hurriedly pushed her away and said, "You! Why do you always rush over and kiss me without saying a word? Could you at least give me some warning next time? Every time you do this, you scare me half to death. I always think you've turned into a zombie and are about to bite me."
"Hee-hee, have you ever seen such a beautiful zombie?" Cheng Yao immediately gave him a faint smile.
