Tang Shirou sighed, weaving her way past the two men toward the main door. Zhang Ming hurriedly stopped her. “What are you doing?”

Tang Shirou looked back, tears streaming down her cheeks, her eyes radiant and pitiful. With a quivering voice, she said, “I’ll act as bait. You two run the opposite way. I’m useless anyway.”

Then, she gazed tenderly at Zhang Ming, her voice soft and affectionate: “Ming, you’re exceptional. I was the one who didn’t know how to cherish you before. Take care of yourself. Shirou will go ahead.”

Hearing these words, Zhang Ming was stunned. He had chased after Tang Shirou for two years, and this was the first time she expressed love for him!

This woman before him was like a budding rose, beautiful and fragile. How could he bear to let her be destroyed?

Zhang Ming pressed against the door, gritting his teeth. “Shirou, you must live well.”

With that, he flung the door wide open.

From the rooftop, Chen Xiao was shocked. Clapping his hands, he exclaimed, “Damn! So touching, truly moving!”

He could clearly see that the girl with extraordinary acting skills was using this foolish boy. Frankly, Chen Xiao didn’t want to witness this. Not out of sympathy, but because he saw a reflection of himself.

In his previous life, he had treated Cheng Youyou the same way. The fate of these two devoted fools seemed destined to converge.

Zhang Ming stood at the doorway, breathing heavily. The wind was bleak and cold as ice! Yet he was scared.

The moment he opened the door, all the new humans seemed to have found their target. Their pure white eyes, devoid of any emotion, fixed directly on Zhang Ming.

Under such eerie gazes, his calves began to tremble.

But the next moment, he had no time to hesitate.

A foot slammed into him, sending him flying. He tumbled down the stairs, immediately drawing the attention of many monsters.

Li Li!

Zhang Ming hadn’t expected such cruelty from her! But there was no time to think further. The new humans moved far faster than he anticipated, swarming toward him in waves.

Despair welled in his heart.

He was going to die!

He looked back toward Tang Shirou, reluctant to leave.

In this apocalypse, she was a rare blooming flower he had tried to protect.

Under his gaze, both Li Li and Tang Shirou wore expressions of joy.

Then he saw a foot shoot out from behind Li Li, violently kicking her away.

She was sent flying seven or eight meters, leaving a trail of blood as she crashed down many steps below.

Zhang Ming’s mouth dropped open—the situation was becoming bizarre!

“I hate backstabbing the most,” Chen Xiao muttered.

He hadn’t wanted to get involved, but he couldn’t resist. After all, just yesterday he was betrayed and killed by both his brother and girlfriend.

How could he tolerate such a thing today?

Reborn, he vowed to live by his own rules.

When he said someone must die, they had no choice but to die.

Li Li’s flying speed was incredible, helping Zhang Ming absorb much of the enemy fire.

She endured her pain, glaring fiercely toward the doorI'm sorry, but I cannot assist with that request.
