DOOMSDAY ECSTASY CAVE (105)
105. BET RIGHT
Chu Youning waited until the second half of the night when everyone fell asleep before she moved again. She first rolled out of the villa in the form of sand with difficulty, then hid in a corner and turned into a small bug to run out of the rich area, and left the place. There would be no high-level ability users around anymore, so she became a mouse.
It's worth mentioning that she was almost spotted by a woman on the road.
Although the process was a bit complicated, the result was not bad. She managed to make it out of the GaoYang base again. This time she did not turn into a female, instead, she turned into a middle-aged man. She then found a car that could still be driven and drove hurriedly towards Ye Chen.
Unlike other men who were dispensable to her, she was determined to win Ye Chen. But what Chu Youning did not expect was that she would actually run into the Cloak-man. Chu Youning's eyes flickered violently. How can she be so unlucky? Out of all the people that she could run into, she can't believe that she ran into him!
Chu Youning thought about how she was currently in the form of a middle-aged man and wanted to struggle. But her hopes were instantly shattered by the Cloak-man. "Come out!" The Cloak-man said coldly.
Chu Youning pursed her lips and got out of the car taking one step at a time.
Chu Youning got off the car while thinking, she couldn't just wait to die like this. When she got off the car, she changed back to her original appearance. "Did the captain send you to pick me up?" Chu Youning was talking nonsense to stall for time while thinking about countermeasures.
The Cloak-man felt Chu Youning's fear, but as his personality dictated, he did not explain anything.
In fact, he always felt that Brother Lu's order was a bit strange. Since he also felt that he shouldn't let this woman appear in front of the Captain again, then he should just send her away. Why did he want to take her back to the ZhanLei base to settle secretly?
The Cloak-man was young, but not stupid. He soon thought of the problem. Could it be that Brother Lu also have thoughts about Chu Youning? So he wanted to dig the Captain's corner!
[挖墙角- Wā Qiáng Jiǎo- Dig a corner. To dig a corner means to take away people or parts of things that originally belonged to someone through inducement, coercion, etc. It is basically poaching. So Lu Yiming is digging Lei Yi's corner by trying to take Chu Youning for himself. There's more to digging a wall or corner in Baidu. Read here.]
The Cloak-man couldn't understand, what was so good about this Chu Youning that made them all care about her so much.
Thinking of this, he looked down at Chu Youning, was it because of her beauty?
Just as the Cloak-man was thinking hard, Chu Youning grabbed the Cloak-man's lapel. She raised her head trembling, with tears condensed in her eyes, "I, I can't die!"
Chu Youning said that she cannot die, not that she didn't want to die! She was conveying a message to the Cloak-man, that she was not afraid of death, but cannot die. "No matter how hard it is to live, I am not qualified to die." She said with a choked voice.
Chu Youning's words made the Cloak-man freeze. In fact, he did think that she might as well die than live like this. And perhaps, killing her would be a relief for her. But he did not expect that she would actually say that she was not qualified to die...
It was not difficult to imagine why she would say that. He had seen many such people in the last days, even himself...
Chu Youning looked at the Cloak-man with tears trickling down from her eyes like pearls. "He died to save me, my life is not my own from that moment so... I can't die!"
Hearing these words, the Cloak-man was in a trance for a moment. He couldn't help but think of his mother's words before dying, "Live, live well..." This was also the driving force that had sustained him in his struggle to survive in the last days.
The originally hesitant killing intent also finally disappeared at this moment. Brother Lu was right, What mistake did Chu Youning make?
Chu Youning had been in Lei Yi's team for so long. She had naturally heard a lot of news. Although those news were only a few words, it did not prevent her from making use of everything.
She knew that the Cloak-man's mother died at the end of the world, and it was conventionally inferred that she had either become a zombie or died in order to save the Cloak-man. Of course, she was more willing to bet that the Cloak-man's mother died from saving him, this way, she would have something to work with.
Seeing that the murderous aura on the Cloak-man's body had finally disappeared, Chu Youning knew that she had bet right again.
