Chapter 056
Chu Xi admires Zhou Yao's handsomeness and strength, but Shu Ning knows that Zhou Yao doesn't love Chu Xi at all.
Zhou Yao has a kind of care for Chu Xi that is within reach, and there are also a feud between men and women, but those are not love.
Looking at Zhou Yao getting closer, Shu Ning finally made a decision. She would not stick to Zhou Yao, but before she had sufficient self-protection ability, she would maintain an ordinary social relationship with Zhou Yao. For example, Zhou Yao came to pick her up as a friend to attend a memorial service. Shu Ning would agree that if Zhou Yao wanted to have a disharmonious relationship with her, Shu Ning would try her best to refuse.
In the end of the world, the law still exists, but it only exists between cities. Once you leave the city, the strong will be the prey of the jungle. Even in the city, the law does not have much binding force on the absolute strong. The marshals will not force a poor girl to take the life of the strong because a powerful person forces a poor girl. They will only punish them slightly, because compared to a poor woman, the powerful person is more useful to maintain the entire city.
Shu Ning also needs Zhou Yao’s protection for the time being, so she doesn’t have to do anything she wants. As long as she occasionally shows her face with Zhou Yao, those evil people who may have a chance to make her have to be afraid of it.
"Thanks."
Shu Ning nodded bitterly to Zhou Yao who stopped, trying to play the role of a daughter who had just lost her parents, but Shu Ning did not intend to cry like Chu Xi. From now on, she wanted to change Chu Xi's impression in the hearts of outsiders. She would be sad, but not defeated by this pain. On the contrary, she would become stronger and stronger.
A hint of surprise appeared on Zhou Yao's cold face, and he thought that when she saw him, she would pounce on him and cry.
But this is also good, Zhou Yao doesn't like to comfort people.
"Do you set off now?" Zhou Yao didn't sit, looked at his watch and asked.
Shu Ning stood up.
Zhou Yao gentlemanly raised his right arm and prepared to hold her in his arms.
Shu Ning thought about it and pulled it up.
The two walked out of the villa in silence.
Today's memorial service is a big event. Other strong men in the villa area will also take their families to mourn. Some people are about to set off, and some are already sitting in the car and are about to pass by the Chu family. When Shu Ning, wearing a military uniform, slowly walked down the steps in front of the villa, those people saw it, and it was not surprising that Zhou Yao often went out to the opposite side of Chu Xi a long time ago.
I just don’t know what kind of status Zhou Yao will give Chu Xi after Chu Tao’s death.
In this world, especially those who are supernaturally powerful, some simply do not get married and raise many lovers openly, while others marry a beautiful wife to decorate the storefront, and colorful flags are still flying outside. Although there are female supernatural powerful people who can lock their partner's hearts, or they may simply find several young faces for themselves, Chu Xi, she is just a vase.
General Chu Tao, who has made great achievements in military affairs, is respectable, and his daughter does not have this treatment.
The car drove along the brand new asphalt road, and Shuning sat in the right hand position in the back row, observing the city through the window glass.
The name is Haishi, but now Haishi is two-thirds smaller than the once prosperous international city.
In that global radiation, the mutation rate of humans was not high, but the wild beast Zerg basically all achieved evolution to varying degrees. The beasts attacked humans frantically, and the people who lived through the radiation died tragically in the mouth of the beasts at a near-extinction speed. It was not until the strong men of humans united to occupy the three urban bases again. After several years of urban construction, the humans in the three major cities returned to normal living order.
Even though Shu Ning had read the original work and had already learned about this apocalyptic era, and saw the situation described in the book with his own eyes, Shu Ning was still extremely shocked.
She was immersed in her thoughts, too quiet, and Zhou Yao couldn't help but look at her a few times.
In the past, Chu Xi was so naive that she was stupid. She thought that with Chu Tao's protection, she would ignore all the ugliness of the end of the world. She would talk to him about literature, movies, skin care, jewelry, and social interactions. Chu Xi could talk about those things that Zhou Yao was not interested in at all. If it weren't for her beautiful tone, Zhou Yao might not be able to bear to spend ten minutes alone with Chu Xi.
Today, Chu Xi seems to have lost the ability to speak.
Because of parents’ accidents?
After all, she is an acquaintance and she is sweet and cute. Zhou Yao thought about it, reached out his big hand and held her small hand on her knees.
Shu Ning was shocked and looked back at him.
Zhou Yao said without any expression: "Don't be afraid, I will protect you."
He would not marry her, but she loved herself so much that unless she didn't want to, Zhou Yao would take care of her under the conditions she could.
Shu Ning forced herself to smile and thanked her while retracting her hands.
Zhou Yao frowned. This was the first time he took the initiative to touch Chu Xi, but she avoided it.
Maybe she was too sad and didn't want to contact him at this time.
Zhou Yao withdrew his hand and stopped talking.
"Zhou Yao, if you face the S-level monster, will you have a chance to survive?" Shu Ning asked suddenly after quieting for a while.
Zhou Yao glanced at her and said, "It's not possible yet."
A marshal can only fight to the draw, and two marshals can fight together to kill. The third-level psychics can only die when they face them. It is estimated that there are twelve s-level monsters in the entire Chinese region, seven of which are dead, and the remaining five are elusive. The marshals have to guard the city and cannot free up their energy to chase them for the time being.
"Not now. If you keep practicing, you will be promoted to marshal one day, right?" Shu Ning continued to ask.
Zhou Yao suddenly saw a familiar light in the girl's clear eyes.
That is the glory that often appears in the eyes of psychics. If you want to become stronger, you want to have the combat power to fight against powerful monsters alone, you want to make great achievements, enjoy the top resources in the sea city, you want to become a marshal, or even a king who is stronger than a marshal, and you can lead people to destroy all monsters and regain peace and tranquility of human beings.
"What do you want to do?" Zhou Yao looked at her and asked.
Shu Ning smiled, stretched out her hand, and said to the pocket but sharp water arrow that suddenly appeared above her palm: "I want to become stronger, I want to avenge my parents."
Zhou Yao was stunned.
Shu Ning looked up and looked at him expectantly: "Can you help me? I haven't learned it, and I don't know how to quickly improve my abilities."
She stroves herself and doesn't know when she will practice. Zhou Yao is already a mature and powerful general, and he must know better than Shu Ning.
In the original work, Zhou Yao is one of the generals who followed the male protagonist Qin An to annihilate the global monsters. He is a positive character and does not love Chu Xi enough, but his character is not bad, and he will definitely live to the ending if nothing unexpected happens. Shu Ning hopes to quickly improve his combat effectiveness under Zhou Yao's guidance.
Zhou Yao pursed his lips and his eyes stayed on the water arrow she released for a moment. Zhou Yao nodded and said, "Yes."
There is nothing to mention in the memorial service. Shu Ning can feel everyone's sadness about the fall of the hero, but she has more important things to do.
You can also communicate via mobile phones within the city. In the evening of the same day, Zhou Yao sent a phone number to Shu Ning: "Starting tomorrow, Instructor Wu will arrange your itinerary, and you will listen to her."
Shu Ning: "Okay, thank you."
Zhou Yao seemed to want to say something, but he was silent for a few seconds, but suddenly died.
The next day, the Instructor Wu appeared in the Chu family's villa on time. He was a character who had not been mentioned in the original work. He looked in his early thirties and had a tanned wheat color and a medium appearance. However, she was wearing a military uniform and heroic appearance. There was a kind of vicissitudes of life and death between her eyebrows.
Shu Ning fell in love with this Instructor Wu at first sight.
Calculate her age. Instructor Wu was still a eleven or twelve-year-old girl when the end of the world came. She was able to live well until now, which is enough to show her ability.
Instructor Wu looked up and down at Shu Ning, Wei Lu was unhappy and didn't drink any tea when he came in. Instructor Wu stood at the door and said to Shu Ning: "Ms. Chu, I am Wu Jing, the instructor responsible for the combat training of new recruits of superpowers. General Zhou Yao asked me to take you. I will do my best and never let go. If Miss Chu can't bear the intensity of my training, the training will end immediately."
Shu Ning thought of the instructors during the military training in college, but Instructor Wu is more serious than the instructors.
"Don't worry, instructor, I'm not afraid of hardship." Shu Ning promised, facing the majestic instructor, she subconsciously let her voice lighter.
The gentle voice was more like acting cute. Instructor Wu pulled the corner of his mouth and pointed to the military off-road lane outside the villa: "I'll go to the car to wait for you, you pack up your things, and stay in the military camp for the next three months."
Shu Ning was surprised: "Three months?"
Instructor Wu said coldly: "If you are afraid of suffering, you can give up at any time."
Shuning didn't mean that, so he asked Instructor Wu to wait in the car first. Shuning ran back to the living room and discussed the moving matter with Sister Wang. The money consumed too much. Shuning suggested that Sister Wang first move to the residential area of ordinary people with cheap rent and second only to the villa area, where only people without superpowers are accepted. Under the management of the superpower patrol team, ordinary people are very law-abiding and there will be basically no fighting incidents.
"You go first, wait until my training is over, and then find another place to pick you up." Shu Ning made a arrangement while transferring a merit point to Sister Wang, ensuring that Sister Wang can spend three months comfortably.
Sister Wang was a little panicked: "Walking so quickly, what should I do if my clothes are from the lady, general, and wife?"
Shu Ning checked the family's belongings. Chu Xi and her daughter's clothes were all dressy and styled, so she could not use them at all. Chu Tao had several sets of armor.
Shu Ning brought two dresses of changing clothes, then put Chu Tao's armor and other important items into a trunk. After finishing his work, Shu Ning finally looked at the gorgeously decorated villa and said to Sister Wang: "You can sell all the meritorious ones, but you can't take care of it. Anyway, these are useless to me."
If it is useful to her, she will buy another purchase. As soon as she leaves today, the eldest lady Chu Xi, who was once pampered, completely disappeared.
"Really, they were all sold?" Sister Wang looked shocked.
Shu Ning smiled and walked out of the villa with Chu Tao's suitcase with the largest space.
There are several steps at the entrance of the villa, and Sister Wang was still standing there and forgot to come out to help.
Shu Ning didn't call her, but raised her down.
In the off-road vehicle, Instructor Wu heard the sound and saw that Miss Chu, whose thighs were not as thick as her arms, was trying hard to carry a huge suitcase.
Instructor Wu suddenly had a headache. The training camp, did she think she had to bring so many things on vacation?
No matter how much he complained, Instructor Wu got out of the car and helped Shuning put the suitcase into the trunk.
"Thank you, Instructor Wu." Shu Ning said sweetly.
