Chapter 307: Volume 1 Chapter 307 You are my system (17)

The bathroom had been specially cleaned and swept by Xie Xunze; the walls and floor were spotless, and the air carried a faint pine-scented shampoo fragrance.

Jiang Zhi's whole body was pressed against the cold ceramic tile wall by the boy, in the narrow, dim bathroom, a small window poured down the splendid colors of the evening clouds.

"Axun..." she had her legs wrapped around his waist; the boy easily supported her body with one hand, while the other hand gently stroked her cheek, leaning in slowly; in the white mist, his eyes, as deep as obsidian and captivating, stared at her without blinking.

"Are you scared?" his voice, almost hoarse to the point of silence, fell beside her ear.

Jiang Zhi felt this position very uncomfortable, wanting to get off him, but the arm around her waist was tight and strong; she could not break free of his hold.

She struggled uncomfortably, but upon contacting something, she suddenly paused; the heat of the white mist flushed the corners of her eyes rosy, her lips pressed tight, taking on a pink-rose hue, exuding a hint of allure, as if inviting to be plucked.

"Don't move." he commanded in a deep voice, his tone fierce.

Jiang Zhi felt somewhat helpless, having been snapped at by him; she wrinkled her cute nose, and her angry voice trembled: "Let go of me! I hate this..."

Xie Xunze pinched her waist, his brows and eyes deep and gloomy; he slowly lowered her, enduring with great effort, and pushed her out.

"If you come in again, I won't let you out."

The boy's ominously low voice came from the bathroom.

Jiang Zhi gave a perfunctory hum in response and hurried back to the bed.

In the bathroom.

The boy leaning against the wall was showered with cold water, yet his condition received no relief.

Before him appeared the girl's figure, her voice tinged with desire, pressing a heat.

Thinking to settle it quickly, but it continued for a long time without stopping.

Until a dissatisfied girl's voice came from outside.

"Xie Xunze! Are you stuck in there? Outside it's almost dark; if you don't come out, monsters will come knocking! Idiot!"

Xie Xunze's body shuddered; the pattering water sound masked his low panting.

"Zhizhi... Zhizhi..."

After coming out of the bathroom, Xie Xunze sealed all the windows of the house with wooden boards, then hung curtains to block the indoor light.

Night fell.

Around nine o'clock, the sound of a car engine came from afar, until it stopped at a house in the village.

Jiang Zhi stood by the window; through the gap she saw a glint of light far away, and more than ten nearby monsters were drawn to the light, rushing in that direction.

"Come here." Xie Xunze was reading a book; over these years he had collected many books, mostly self-study on various technologies, such as circuits, appliance assembly, and some firearms study.

Before, relying on himself, he had only grasped a little bit of the basics; installing an electric bike was nothing, but now the more he learned, the more he advanced to an exaggerated extent.

Jiang Zhi walked over and glanced at the book's cover, which was a string of English numbers, "Can you read it?"

Xie Xunze: "A little."

Jiang Zhi sat beside him, resting her chin on her hand, and said: "The team we met at the hotel also came here; your fate with them is truly deep."

No matter where they go, the male and female leads and the antagonist will still meet.

Xie Xunze didn't care about that team, but thinking of the one among them who harbored feelings for her, his expression suddenly turned cold.

He showed nothing on his face, and told her: "Go to sleep."

Jiang Zhi lay on the bed, yawning repeatedly: "You should hurry up and sleep too."

Xie Xunze covered the blanket, saying: "I'll read a bit more then go to sleep."

Jiang Zhi was very sleepy; she closed her eyes and soon fell asleep.

Xie Xunze blew out the candle, wearing an inconspicuous black coat outside, and left the house.

…

"Captain, I just went to check; not far away there's a vehicle beside a house, and the house has been specially cleaned, so there should be someone inside." said the scout Guo Hao, who had maxed out his agility points.

The nearby monsters had been cleared; they simply tidied the house and prepared sleeping bags on the ground to rest.

Driving at night easily attracts monster swarms, and the vehicle would be scrapped then; therefore they plan to drive by day and kill monsters and rest at night.

Captain Mu Tianyi was quite surprised; mainly this place happens to be on the necessary route to Xintangshi, a village hidden in a side road—aside from their group, could other base armies also be heading to Xintangshi?

He must go tonight to find out clearly.

"Meng Qi, Guo Hao, Tao Wei, Lin Xiao Fei, come with me; the others wait here."

Wan Qian stood up and said: "Tianyi, let me go with you."

Mu Tianyi shook his head: "No need, we'll be back soon, Qian Qian."

Having said that, their group left the house.

Wan Qian only withdrew her gaze after seeing their backs disappear into the night; she lifted her foot and walked into the bedroom, looking at the unconscious Ouyang Hua on the bed, and let out a soft sigh.

Suddenly, a figure appeared at the doorway; the night watchman Wang Xin, seeing this, abruptly stood up, raised his rifle aiming at him, and shouted sternly: "Who are you?!"

Hearing the sound, Wan Qian was about to step out of the bedroom when that person knocked out Wang Xin and walked up to her.

Seeing the person, her face drained of color, panic overwhelming: "You... what do you want to do?"

Xie Xunze glanced at her indifferently and said succinctly: "Kill him."

He had never intended to let Ouyang Hua off; having been stopped by the Stupid System in the hotel, he had to relent, and he also didn't want to kill him in front of her.

Wan Qian met the killing intent in his eyes, her legs went weak, and she hurriedly pleaded: "Please... spare him, I beg you..."

Xie Xunze wanted a person; no one could stop him.

Ignoring the girl blocking his way, he stepped forward; in the blink of an eye he appeared at the bedside.

Seeing this, Wan Qian panicked and cried out: "No... don't!"

Xie Xunze was about to twist the neck of the blond-haired boy on the bed when he suddenly halted, his gaze sweeping the surroundings, frowning as he asked: "Where are your teammates?"

Wan Qian had a tear slide down the corner of her eye; her delicate, lovely face lay sideways on the ground, presenting a pitiful sight; she had expected to earn a bit of his pity, but the boy's gaze at her was as terrifying as looking at a dead thing.

"Speak!"

Wen Qian hurriedly said: "They… they went to the residence across."

As soon as his words fell, the boy vanished on the spot.

…

Jiang Zhi, who was sleeping soundly in bed, was awakened by the banging on the door, thinking it was a monster knocking, and reached out to push the adjacent bed.

"Axun… it's so noisy!"

The sound grew louder and louder, and Jiang Zhi fully woke up, pulling back the silver-white hair tangled at her neck, head drooping, covering her eyes, she sat dazedly on the bed.

"Axun."

She called out several times, but got no response.

Realizing something was wrong, she was about to get out of bed to check.

The bedroom door was pushed open from outside, and several strangers rushed in, their mud-covered rubber shoes dirtying the freshly cleaned floor once again.
