Lu Zhen moved from his seat to sit next to his wife. He wrapped her in his arms and rested his head on top of her head, taking in the sweet scent of her hair.
He still rembered the dispair of watching that gate close while he was inside the city and she was outside, alone facing aliens, zombies, and human traitors.
He didn’t see how she died, but he could imagine that without witnessing it in person.
He would never allow himself to be in that situation again. And for that to happen, he had to make sure that his Leng Pan was never forced to make that self-sacrificing choice again.
That could only happen if they rooted out the traitors and made strategies to eliminate the aliens and zombies without having their intelligence leaked.
Lu Zhen closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "You’re right," he said finally.
"We died once because we underestimated the human heart. This ti, we won’t make the sa mistake. We’ll hunt the traitors as fiercely as we hunt the zombies."
Leng Pan’s shoulders eased slightly as she curled into her husband’s arms, though the fire in her eyes didn’t fade. She looked up at him, her voice softer than usual.
"It feels strange, doesn’t it? Carrying two lifetis inside us. But maybe that’s our greatest weapon. We already know how the story can end. Now... we get to rewrite it, on our terms."
Lu Zhen tightened his arms around her as he looked down at the beautiful face that had srized him for two lifetis.
"Then let’s make sure this ti, it ends with us alive, and humanity standing."
Looking into each other’s eyes, the soon lost themselves in passion as Lu Zhen dipped his head and covered Leng Pan’s lips warm with his slightly colder ones.
It didn’t take long for both of them to forget about the suffering of their past lives and the war ahead of them in this life.
All they had in their hearts and eyes was each other. Their lovemaking started on the couch in the living room, headed to the bed in the bedroom, and ended in the bathroom in the bathtub.
It had been a while since they let themselves go and went crazy about each other, but that night served to remind them that they were still alive, and they should cherish every mont of their lives.
....
In a military base near the outskirts of the city, a soldier knocked on a door and waited outside until she heard the low and sowhat seductive voice.
"Co in."
The soldier pushed the door open and entered. After saluting the man sitting behind a desk and looking at so papers, he went straight to the point because he didn’t want to waste his superior’s ti.
"Sir, this surbodinate went to the mountain to collect firewood and t Mr. Lu with his wife." The soldier started to report.
The man sitting behind the desk stopped looking at the papers and for the first ti looked at the person who had intruded his work.
"Which Mr. Lu?" The man wearing a military uniform with a few stars on his shoulder asked.
"Mr. Lu Zhen. He was with his wife transporting firewood in a truck." The soldier was quite detailed, expect for one thing....
"Did you say, wife?" The man behind the desk asked in disbelief.
When did that bastard Lu Zhen get married? And who did he get married to?
"Yes, I believe her na is Leng Pan." The soldier replied. He didn’t understand why his superior was so shocked about his friend having a wife.
"So, they finally tied the knot in this life." The man behind the desk said in a low murmur that was only heard by himself.
"Did he say anything to you?" He asked out loud.
"Mr. Lu said that you can go to look for him at xx community if you need him." The soldier gave the address Lu Zhen had provided to the man.
"Alright, I will go look for him when I have the ti. You can leave now." The man ordered the soldier.
However, the soldier remained standing as if he had sothing to say but he didn’t know if he should.
The man behind the desk who had just lowered his head to continue evaluating the docunts on the table raised his head again when he realized that the soldier hadn’t moved.
"Anything else?" Ge asked.
"Well." The soldier stamred for a while before finally deciding to co clean.
"Mrs. Lu is quite strong, but she is also very cruel." The soldier said while observing the expression of his superior. He didn’t want to offend hi by sounding like he was criticizing his friend’s wife.
"What did she do?" The leader placed his hand in the desk and his fingered tapped rhythmically on the table and leaned back on the chair.
The soldier took a deep breath and explained everything that had happened in the mountain.
After he was done, he observed his superior to see if he would get punished for his busybody behavior.
"Did you find out what those people did before they were ’cruelly massacred’ as you said?" The leader looked at the soldier squarely on the face as asked with a stone face.
The soldier felt cold sweat trickling on his back and suddenly regretted bringing this up. But now, he had to face the consequences of his actions.
"At first, no, but then later we found that they had tried to take advantage of her sexually and tried to take her away by force to make her a sex toy." The soldier replied with a sowhat low voice.
That was because the more he said, the more he felt ashad for feeling sorry for those people.
He imagined that if Mrs. Lu didn’t have the strength to protect herself, she would have beco exactly what those people wanted.
A sex toy that could be passed around all the n in that gang. She would probably wouldn’t have been able to take it and committed suicide.
