Young Master Gu is Angry
The people on the rooftop silently watched.
Wander, eating the chocolate cake Young Master Gu had reluctantly sacrificed to recover his strength: “.”
Wander: “Nobody move.” There was no need to rescue her.
Of course, no one moved.
—The Goddess of Light’s Holy Light Healing skill was good, but wasn’t it better to avoid getting hurt or bitten in the first place?
Gu Cheng held Ning Yi, remaining completely unmoved.
Ning Yi was sleeping soundly in his arms. She had to sleep long enough for the system to judge that she had recovered her mobility. Wander was the same.
After the dozen or so zombies chased Ding Ziyue past them, Jiang Linyi, Ning Zhuo, and the other guardian knights soon caught up from behind.
“Yueyue!”
“Yueyue, climb up! Climb!”
Ding Ziyue ran while breaking down. “I don’t know how to climb!”
How could a princess climb?!
Jiang Linyi’s heart hurt.
His skill was max defence, and his weakness was being easily heartbroken. Seeing Ding Ziyue in such a sorry state now, he… hurt so much!
So he ran while clutching his chest.
Ding Ziyue turned around and almost vomited blood: What use was heartache?!
Hurry up and sacrifice yourself to save your princess! This was exactly when her beautiful love should happen!
[Hahahaha they’re really going to make me laugh to death]
[Thank you, Goddess of Light and Movie Emperor Jiang, for the happiness!]
[After watching until now, I can only say 01’s game character skills and weaknesses are way too interesting hahaha]
Rewinding a little, this was what happened.
Originally, Jiang Linyi, Ning Zhuo, and the others had all been protecting Ding Ziyue. Their small team was built around the Goddess of Light’s healing ability. Their main strategy was to keep her safe, then search for supplies together to survive the apocalypse.
At present, aside from ordinary players hiding somewhere, and powerful players like Gu Cheng and 01, the overall situation had basically split into factions. The most disadvantageous thing for them was that Wander, with strong leadership ability, had formed a team and had also absorbed Gu Cheng and Ning Yi.
And with limited supplies, that made them powerful enemies—this factional opposition was also one of the highlights of ‘Apocalypse Recreated’. Humanity, morality, and more would all be tested in the apocalypse.
After Jiang Linyi and his group made a rough plan for searching supplies, the issue became how to arrange the Goddess of Light.
As Ding Ziyue’s husband, Jiang Linyi naturally said, “I’ll bring Yueyue with me.”
But now Ding Ziyue was like a walking health pack. Whoever brought her had an extra strong layer of security. These people’s skills were all strange and varied, while Jiang Linyi’s own defence was already very high!
As the person second closest to Ding Ziyue, Ning Zhuo stepped forward first. “Mr. Jiang, although you’re Yueyue’s husband, since we’re a team now, shouldn’t we avoid being too selfish?”
His skill was persuasion.
Originally, it wasn’t a very combat-effective apocalypse skill, but in this situation, it was unexpectedly useful.
“Indeed,” Jiang Linyi wavered, though he was still resisting with difficulty. “But if Yueyue isn’t by my side, I’ll worry…”
The other players also spoke up one after another: “We can all bring Miss Ding with us. Her skill is so important; we’ll definitely protect her with our lives.”
Ning Zhuo: “I swore long ago that Yueyue is the woman I will protect for the rest of my life.”
Ding Ziyue closed her eyes.
—So satisfying. So, so satisfying!
This was the feeling she wanted! This was the pampering she deserved!
Ah! Fight over me even more fiercely!
Comments:
[Friendly reminder, Princess, your true light-chasers are coming soon]
[Light! Wake up, Light!]
[The zombies are already running toward you!]
But Ding Ziyue’s face was full of a blissful smile—being treated as the centre, being fought over by everyone, felt so good she didn’t dare open her eyes, afraid viewers would see the uncontrollable joy in them!
If, after the game difficulty increased, these people sacrificed themselves in-game to save her, then truly—who wouldn’t envy her?!
[Light! Wake up!]
[Look behind you!]
[Ten meters, five meters, alright, BBQ]
[Now enjoying: “The Escape of Light”]
During the knights’ debate, no one was paying attention to Ding Ziyue. So when Ding Ziyue suddenly sprang up with a howl, their protective circle had already moved some distance away from her.
First came three zombies, and then Ding Ziyue’s dazzling light attracted another batch.
“Hss… hss hrr—”
“Hrrr hrrr—”
Ding Ziyue could only run. “Ahhhhh!”
These ordinary players had not truly faced a life-and-death crisis after entering the game. Even if they encountered one or two zombies, they could work together to kill them.
But when the zombie-to-human ratio exceeded three to one, they completely panicked.
Soon they discovered that the zombies really were most focused on Ding Ziyue!
So they could only chase after them from behind!
And in this world, the one most afraid of being bitten was actually the Goddess of Light herself, because she could heal others, but not herself!
Ding Ziyue: Why, in this world, am I the only one unable to shine upon myself?!
As she ran past the location of Gu Cheng, Ning Yi, Wander, and the others, Ding Ziyue still had some brains left and knew that having more people around could at least distract the zombies.
The zombies behind her were foul-smelling and terrifying. Ding Ziyue truly felt the fear of being bitten to death!
She gritted her teeth and finally forced herself to climb a crooked tree by the roadside.
[“The Effort of Light”]
[I’m really laughing to death hahaha watching Princess Ding survive the apocalypse is such a joy]
[Princess, fighting!]
The zombies gathered under the tree, roaring and slapping at the trunk.
But a princess was still a princess. Her arm strength wasn’t enough to support her for long on the tree, and it was clear she couldn’t last much longer.
Just then—
“Come over here!”
A male voice suddenly rang out. Ning Zhuo stepped forward, throwing several bottles toward the zombies under the tree.
He was standing close enough that the scent of human flesh finally attracted the zombies.
Ding Ziyue was overjoyed, but still cried out tragically, “Brother Zhuo! No, don’t do this for me—”
Ning Zhuo faced the zombies with deep affection, holding them back as he shouted, “Go! Yueyue, go!”
In this game, he had finally defeated Jiang Linyi!
He was Ding Ziyue’s childhood sweetheart, and he spoke for himself!
Ding Ziyue shook her head through tears. “No, I won’t! Brother Zhuo—”
[Why is everywhere Princess Ding goes so dramatic hahaha]
[Can you leave or not? Give us a straight answer]
[Isn’t this a classic idol drama scene hahahaha]
[Alright everyone, Sister Ning’s waking up. I’m going over there hehe]
In the end, Ding Ziyue still ran away crying.
Such beautiful love!
So pampered!
The whole world saw it, right?
…
Ning Yi slowly woke up.
She had slept in Gu Cheng’s arms for the system-required duration and finally recovered her mobility. In the real apocalypse, this would have been impossible—she would never have dared fall asleep in such a dangerous environment. But now Gu Cheng was here, so she had slept very peacefully.
When she opened her eyes, she met the smile in Gu Cheng’s eyes.
“Awake?”
“…Mm.”
—Of course, although she felt secure, it was still embarrassing!
Sister Ning was shy.
But Sister Ning didn’t say it.
“Ah, well,” she said mysteriously, standing up from Gu Cheng’s arms, rubbing her palms together, and casually caring about everyone around her. “Is everyone okay?”
The moment she finished speaking, Ding Ziyue’s scream came from afar. “Brother Zhuo! Wake up!”
Ning Yi: “.”
Jiang Linyi and the others had also climbed onto another rooftop. Ding Ziyue was temporarily safe at last, crying toward Ning Zhuo, who had already mutated into a zombie NPC.
Jiang Linyi was heartbroken. “I’m sorry, Yueyue. I’m useless.”
Ding Ziyue shook her head tearfully. “No, no, it’s all because of me…”
[“The Repentance of Light”]
[Enough, stop crying]
[Wander’s team has already gone to grab supplies]
[Sister Ning, charge! Young Master Gu, charge! Get Sister Ning some cake!]
Captain Wan and Sister Ning had both recovered their strength. Following their original plan, they entered the mall’s first floor to sweep for supplies.
Thanks to the Goddess of Light, many zombies in the mall had been attracted outside just now, so their search became a little easier.
However, most of the supplies here had already been looted.
In the end, after dividing and counting what they had gathered, they had small amounts of food and water, warm clothing, fire-starting tools, simple pots and cooking equipment, and Wander had even taken two inflatable kayaks.
In the apocalypse, weather could change unpredictably. Yesterday there was an earthquake, tomorrow there might be torrential rain, and the day after tomorrow there might be a tsunami.
Gu Cheng lowered his head and slipped something into Ning Yi’s palm.
Ning Yi didn’t look. She quietly felt it. It was a small triangle. Covering her mouth, she whispered, “What is it, husband? Are you hinting that the iron triangle is the most stable structure?”
“…” Gu Cheng said, “I’m hinting that you should eat the chocolate quickly.”
Ning Yi: “Oh.”
Ning Yi: “^口^ nom.”
[Sister Ning is so cute ahhhhh]
[Shipping in the apocalypse is just as sweet as shipping on CM before! But for some reason, it feels like something is missing?]
Just then, Zhao Mochu and Zhao Weining walked toward them—
The two siblings actually had a car. They drove over noisily and stopped, looking very lively. It seemed these two were doing pretty well in the apocalypse too.
“Sister Ning! Young Master Gu! Brother Wan!”
Zhao Mochu immediately found her organisation!
—Why had she come to participate in this public beta? For what?!
Zhao Mochu: To defeat Assistant Zhou for the first time and become the front-line CP fan of Gu de Mo Ning! What joy!
At this moment, one livestream comment appeared online:
[Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west! I’ll be back!]
Assistant Zhou clenched his fist hard.
Zhao Mochu looked at Gu de Mo Ning and Wan Shi Ru Yi before her and revealed a hehe smile.
Ning Yi also smiled and waved at her.
They exchanged current information and pieced together a larger map.
What was special was that Zhao Mochu’s skill was very unique: information search. She could directly receive supply alerts or zombie warnings in her mind—as expected of the number one gossip master. It fit her character very well.
So along the way, she and Zhao Weining basically hadn’t been chased by zombies, and they had always had food and drink.
Wander looked thoughtful. “Impressive.”
It had to be said, Zhao Mochu’s skill was very strong. Wander quickly judged her value to the team and decided to recruit the siblings together. In exchange, he would be responsible for their safety and basic needs.
Zhao Weining naturally agreed, and Zhao Mochu nodded madly. “Okay, okay, okay!”
But before that, Captain Wan had one important thing to confirm.
“What’s your weakness?” Wander asked.
As his team members, he had to understand all of them clearly in order to command them better and maximise their effectiveness.
Zhao Mochu looked behind him very sheepishly. Then Zhao Weining said with a face full of unbearable embarrassment, “Her weakness is…”
Over there, Ning Yi had only just realised that although she had chocolate, her chocolate cake was gone. Grief-stricken, she could only vent her anger on her husband.
Gu Cheng’s thin lips curved in a smile. His large hand caught her flying fist, wrapped around it, then lifted it and quickly kissed it.
Zhao Mochu’s eyes rolled back.
Ahhhh, too shippable! I’m fainting!
Then she collapsed.
Zhao Weining: “…”
Zhao Weining: “Her weakness is that she faints very easily.”
Her blood sugar shot up instantly.
Wander: “…”
It had to be said, their game’s character cards really were interesting.
As expected of 01’s algorithm.
But the online viewers could very much relate to Zhao Mochu:
[Hahahaha fun fact, Second Miss Zhao is the famous @MoliflavoredBadger on CM]
[The number one gossip blogger! So it was you! No wonder you ship this hard hahaha]
[Ahhh the gossip queen is my eyes, my mouth, and my heart. Keep shipping for me! Wuwuwuwu too sweet!]
So the group first moved their supplies to a safe supply point.
Fortunately, Sister Ning and Brother Wan had already woken up. Otherwise, they would have needed stretchers for three people.
Zhao Weining carried the stretcher with a flushed face: Embarrassing! Too embarrassing!
Ning Yi hooked her hand around Gu Cheng’s and slowly walked back.
So far, the game difficulty hadn’t fully risen yet. It was still at a gentle level, which was also meant to extend the players’ survival time and improve everyone’s game experience.
But a true apocalypse could not stay gentle forever.
Danger was definitely brewing. It just still seemed peaceful for now.
Ning Yi looked up at the sky.
Dark clouds were pressing low.
As if a storm was brewing.
“Today” in the game was about to end, and Ning Yi still hadn’t used her skill. She couldn’t waste one use for nothing.
Ning Yi shook Gu Cheng’s hand. “What do you think I should make?”
Ideally, it should be something that could deal with a bigger crisis. But since the crisis hadn’t arrived yet, Ning Yi could only speculate.
If it was a natural disaster in the game, then she should mainly create defensive tools. If it was a zombie attack, then an offensive item would be best.
Something like a big tank would be pretty exciting!
But she could only create one thing per day, and her weakness stated that within one hour after creating something, she would have no defensive ability, plus she needed more sleep to restore her stamina. So she had to be cautious.
Gu Cheng thought seriously and discussed it with her for a while.
There was still some time before the end of the day, so they could observe a little longer.
By the emperor’s intuition, the crisis was already near.
“Miss 01 should be careful. After all, for one hour after creating something,” Gu Cheng reminded her with a low laugh, “you’ll be at my mercy.”
“Pah, pah.” Ning Yi began humming in protest.
The powerful king would only fall asleep, that was all!
Seeing her bright eyes, Gu Cheng wanted to kiss her, but held himself back.
Because the game was being livestreamed to the entire internet, they had been careful not to deliberately give out sweet moments inside. Gu Cheng also understood very well that Ning Yi definitely hoped everyone’s attention would focus on the game effects rather than shipping.
…Not to mention, they now had an important intelligence officer who would faint the moment she shipped too hard.
So Gu Cheng restrained himself.
Everyone else was busy on the other side, while the two of them stood in a corner.
So Gu Cheng simply held Ning Yi’s hand and said solemnly, “01, surrender at once. Do not resist.”
Ning Yi sneered twice. “King 11 comes to deceive and sneak attack! Launching a fierce assault on Tyrant No. 888.”
Gu Cheng covered himself. “No. 888 has suffered serious injuries.”
Ning Yi reached over. “No. 01 issues a post-incident apology and picks up a rose in her mouth.”
Gu Cheng really couldn’t hold back anymore.
His dark eyes were full of laughter. After suppressing it again and again, he still leaned over and quickly kissed her cheek.
Ning Yi also felt a little sweet inside. Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, she secretly kissed his cheek too.
Good. Calm and peaceful.
Meanwhile, online: [Ahhhhhhhhhhh]
At this moment, they didn’t need a shipping substitute. The viewers were already losing their minds.
[Who understands! This kind of little couple interaction based purely on mutual understanding ahhh I really ship it!!!]
[Sister Ning is so cute, Young Master Gu is so doting, wuwuwu TAT]
[Wuwuwu so sweet wuwu more more]
At that moment, Zhao Mochu woke up.
Gu Cheng and Ning Yi immediately stood slightly farther apart.
To prevent the important intelligence officer’s blood sugar from rising again and making her faint, causing them to miss intelligence.
—The number one gossip blogger herself had no idea that she had become the person least able to enjoy the sweetness in this game!
Assistant Zhou outside the game: I won’t say who won.
Inside the game, Zhao Mochu scratched her head. “Ah? I fainted?”
Song Qingmei carefully helped tidy her sleep-mussed hair. “You fainted for half an hour.”
“What?!”
Unexpectedly, Zhao Mochu suddenly jumped up.
“I was about to tell you all—there’s a zombie tide coming!”
“I fainted for half an hour? Ah! Then there are only ten minutes left!”
Everyone: O口O?
—Then why the hell didn’t you say so earlier!!!
Zhao Mochu: I didn’t expect those two to be so sweet just from casually moving either!!!
…
The first major crisis of ‘Apocalypse Recreated’ had quietly arrived.
There were currently 98 surviving players.
Aside from the useless Young Master Gu and Ning Zhuo, the childhood sweetheart who sacrificed himself for love, all the other players—whether in teams or lone wolves hiding somewhere—were still online.
But the apocalypse would never allow so many people to survive.
Their game had a very complete plotline and timeline, but it would also make various adjustments based on the players’ reactions. In other words, the side branches players unlocked would be different. Luck, equipment, and most importantly, the attributes of their personal character cards would cause everyone’s gaming experience to differ.
This was why the more the viewers watched, the more they wanted to play, eagerly awaiting the day it could be officially promoted to everyone—
There was no substitute on the market. This game was genuinely incredible!
At this moment.
Dark clouds continued pressing lower in the sky, so low they almost touched the ground. The black cloud layer churned constantly.
But when people looked closely—
That was actually all heads!
A dense, black mass of zombie heads, packed tightly together, was walking toward them from afar with hideous expressions.
At least one or two hundred zombies!
Now, all the players understood. Even without the attraction of light, zombies would still continue to devour them.
Many people were truly facing this oppressive survival crisis for the first time. Their legs went weak on the spot, and they sat down on the ground.
[Holy crap ahhhh my hands are numb right now]
[This effect is too realistic. I’m scared, but I still have to shout Sister Ning is amazing!]
[I can’t imagine what I’d do if I were really in the apocalypse. I’d probably be the first sacrifice QAQ]
But Wander was very calm.
Gu Cheng was also very calm.
This was not on the same scale as the zombie tide they had experienced.
Ning Yi was naturally also very calm, rapidly thinking about what she should create to get through this stage. Her gaze swept across them. Wander’s team currently had around ten people…
Just as she was thinking, the game system’s electronic voice rang out.
—“Players may escape as quickly as possible.”
—“However, killing every 10 zombies will grant a game reward, greatly increasing survival probability.”
[Kill them?! That’s asking for death!]
[Isn’t hiding the best way to survive?!]
However, this kind of reward for facing death head-on would definitely be enormous.
Wander rolled his neck, carrying his gun, and suddenly looked at Gu Cheng.
“How about it? Want to compete?”
Gu Cheng lifted his gaze calmly.
Wander’s smile was wild.
In that world back then, he hadn’t known that the one inside 01’s body was Gu Cheng. Of course, at the time, they hadn’t had the leisure to compete either. But now this was a game, and no one would really die.
He had already quickly judged the situation. The zombies’ current movement speed wasn’t fast, and only a few dozen were charging ahead. With the two of them’s abilities, killing a few dozen zombies and escaping would be no problem, while the reward would be highly worthwhile.
Gu Cheng raised a brow but looked at Ning Yi.
Ning Yi smiled. “Compete if you want to.”
Who didn’t know their family’s king of pretentious kings had a top-rank obsession!
Besides, her skill could act as a backup. Either way, she wouldn’t let the two of them die.
A game should have the experience of a game!
Let it get exciting!
So Gu Cheng laughed softly. A flash of blue arc passed through his dark eyes as he lifted his chin. “—Sure.”
Wander whistled.
So the remaining players retreated toward higher, safer ground, guarding against the possible storm and tsunami that might come next.
Meanwhile, the two strongest men of the apocalypse carried their respective weapons, jumped off the rooftop, and walked forward to meet the incoming danger.
[Holy crap! Why did this suddenly become so hype?!]
[Ahhhh damn, so handsome I’m losing my mind, so handsome so handsome so handsome]
[Charge charge charge! Kill kill kill!]
They were still several hundred meters away from the zombies. Gu Cheng unhurriedly drew an arrow from his back and prepared to shoot it.
Wander stood half-back-to-back with him and raised his gun too.
“I’ll take twenty. You?”
“Then I’ll take twenty-one.”
But the next second, the zombies that had been advancing at a steady speed suddenly became entirely frenzied.
Their eyes seemed about to burst out. Their hissing roars suddenly grew several times louder, and they began charging at them in a crazed rush.
For a moment, it was like dozens of abnormal titans were running toward them.
Instantly, Captain Wan, who had thoroughly memorised everyone’s skills and weaknesses, suddenly remembered—
Gu Cheng’s weakness: very easily enrages opponents. Easily causes zombies to enter a frenzy.
So the next second, Wander turned and ran, directly launching into a hundred-meter sprint.
—“Farewell!”
His back was ten meters away in an instant.
Leaving Gu Cheng alone to face the riot: “?”
You damn apocalypse survivor. You have no martial virtue.
Gu Cheng: “Fuck.”
