Chapter 1056: Arrival in City B

After showering, Ning Chen came out wearing only a pair of pants, drying his hair with a towel.

It wasn't that he didn't want to put on clothes; before entering the bathroom, he had gone to the warehouse, where all the clothes were gone, and the wardrobe in the bedroom was also empty. Since Lin Yi and Huo Jinglin were fast asleep, he hadn't woken them.

Gu Yanqi, who had been deep in thought, looked up and was instantly struck by a critical hit.

Wet hair still dripped water; droplets slid down his cheeks, vanished into his collarbone, and below lay a perfect set of eight-pack abs.

Ning Chen truly fully embodied what it means to look slim in clothes and muscular without them.

Every muscle seemed perfectly proportioned; it was a very standard physique.

Sensing Gu Yanqi's naked gaze, Ning Chen raised his head and looked at her.

Perhaps because he had just showered, a faint mist of water vapor still covered Ning Chen's eyes, softening his features considerably.

At this moment, Ning Chen lacked his usual coldness, carrying instead a touch of worldly warmth.

Gu Yanqi simply couldn't keep her eyes open; this version of Ning Chen was truly dazzling.

"What's wrong?" Ning Chen asked Gu Yanqi with a puzzled look, seemingly unable to understand why she had frozen in place.

Asked by Ning Chen like that, Gu Yanqi quickly realized what she had just done; she had openly stared at his physique right in front of the man himself!

Gu Yanqi's face was now as red as it could possibly get; she only wanted to dig a hole and bury herself.

What on earth had she just done? It was too sinful. Would she be mistaken for a fangirl? But she really wasn't a fangirl. What should she do?

In Gu Yanqi's mind, she had already imagined countless ways Ning Chen would question her. She kept her head down, too afraid to lift it, her entire body stiff in place.

Seeing Gu Yanqi's crimson earlobes, how could Ning Chen not know what was wrong with her?

He lowered his head slightly to check his attire; there seemed to be no problem, after all, he had covered everything he should have.

Lin Yi, who had just come out of the room, saw Ning Chen without a shirt on and Gu Yanqi with a flushed face and head bowed; his mind went blank for a moment.

When he saw Ning Chen turn around, he instinctively said, "I'm not here to interrupt your good time. You two continue, continue."

Having finished speaking, Lin Yi turned to go back into the room, but Ning Chen, quick as lightning, grabbed him.

Caught by Ning Chen, Lin Yi felt like crying but had no tears; he really hadn't meant to. Would Ningge Society twist his head off? The key was, he didn't know about this situation. In his next life, he would definitely look carefully before coming out.

When Lin Yi turned his head to look at Ning Chen, his eyes were tightly shut, his face radiating the determination of a warrior marching to his death: "The wind blows bleakly by the Yi River; the warrior departs and never returns."

"Go find me some clothes."

Ning Chen's voice came from beside his ear, and Lin Yi opened his eyes.

What? Find clothes?

Looking at Ning Chen's calm gaze, Lin Yi blinked. So he hadn't ruined Ningge Society's good time?

Seeing that Lin Yi was still standing there dumbfounded, Ning Chen thought the other person didn't understand his meaning, so he began to speak again.

"Clothes. Didn't find them."

Hearing this, Lin Yi slapped his forehead. How could his brain forget to tell Ning Chen that the clothes had been moved?

"Ningge, we sorted the clothes and put them in this cabinet. The top shelf has shirts, the bottom has pants."

Lin Yi hurried over to the tall cabinet nearby, opened it, and sure enough, it was filled with clothes.

Ning Chen walked forward, pulled out a white shirt, and put it on.

By now, Gu Yanqi had also adjusted; upon seeing Ning Chen put on his shirt, she felt a slight regret in her heart.

Those eight-pack abs were truly good-looking.

Gu Yanqi, still regretting, hadn't noticed Ning Chen's approach. When Ning Chen arrived in front of her, Gu Yanqi was startled.

Her heart panicked; did Ning Chen guess what she was just thinking, or had she accidentally said it out loud?

Ning Chen didn't know Gu Yanqi's thoughts; he only saw dark circles under her eyes and figured she hadn't slept well these past two days, so he wanted her to rest for a while.

"The car will depart in a moment. Go get some proper sleep so you'll have the energy."

Having finished speaking, Ning Chen left Gu Yanqi's presence and headed for the driver's seat, where Xiao Han was lying in the passenger seat catching up on sleep.

Ning Chen glanced at him, then started the car.

Lin Yi had already taken a nap; at this moment, he wasn't sleepy at all. Looking at the chaotic scene outside, with zombies lying everywhere around them, he felt somewhat surprised.

These... were all done by Ning Chen?!

Lin Yi stared at the zombies on both sides, wanting to see what they looked like when they attacked.
