However, before he could finish Su Jiyai interrupted him,
"..have good intentions? Sure. I would have considered that she had good intentions, if she didn't use the line 'since we are friends we have to stay together.'
It's more like 'Since I can't awaken a superpower you have to suffer with me'. What friendship she is even talking about?
The one we had? For your information for the past 2 months, we all have been ignoring each other. You all were ignoring Weilin too."
Silence.
Xi Ziang, Li Yuan, and Wang Bao, three of them turned silent. Jing Shan too didn't have words to refute.
For the first time, Jing Shan felt, that Li Yuan was wrong.
Su Jiyai turned towards Han Weilin and said,
"Superhuman Weilin, don't forget your bestie!"
Han Weilin smiled.
In fact, her thoughts matched with Su Jiyai's, but as the person who was in an advantageous situation, she couldn't defend herself.
Thank god Su Jiyai was on her side.
Han Weilin shifted from the ordinary human's dorm to the superpower users' dorm.
Li Yuan watched from the dorm's window as Han Weilin left and her eyes turned cold. She suddenly walked up to her bunker bed, took out a phone and called someone,
"I am already to do that task you make the arrangement."
The next day Han Weilin was transferred from Su Jiyai's army division and the friends were quite sad.
They promised to meet each other at night every day.
Su Jiyai walked up to Qin Feng's office and clenched the letter in her hand.
After encouraging herself time and time again, she entered the office and saw Qin Feng.
Su Jiyai walked in with a nervous expression and said,
"Um...Feng?"
Qin Feng lifted his head and his handsome face under the sunlight was looking even more beautiful.
Su Jiyai's breath hitched and she stuttered as she said.
"C-Can y-you re-ad this."
A glint flashed in Qin Feng's eyes and he took the letter.
"What is it?" He asked softly.
Su Jiyai was so nervous that she didn't even notice, that the great Captain Qin had lowered his voice!
"You...first read it." Su Jiyai said clenching her fist.
Qin Feng slowly opened the letter and started reading the letter, his face had no expression at all.
After finishing the letter, Qin Feng was silent before shifting his gaze to Su Jiyai.
"I can't give you an answer for now."
Su Jiyai's heart skipped a beat.
What was that answer?
Does he like her or not?
In a daze, Su Jiyai saw Qin Feng standing up and walking up to her. He placed a hand on her cheeks and said,
"Wait for me."
And then he left.
Su Jiyai's heart thumped loudly.
Was that a 'yes'?
If he wanted to reject her, he could have done it right away! So why didn't he do it?
Not to mention he even placed a hand on her cheeks!
Su Jiyai placed her hand on her cheeks and blushed.
That could only mean...
Su Jiyai patted her loudly beating heart.
She scolded herself for overthinking.
As she exited the office, she saw Han Weilin, who instantly slightly lifted her head and moved her eyebrows, as if asking what was the outcome.
Su Jiyai ran in Han Wielin's direction and hugged her.
"Weilin, he said he can't answer for now! He said to wait for him!"
Han Weilin was stunned before smiling happily and hugging her back,
"Bestie, our luck has improved!"
"Yes!" Su Jiyai said with an excited expression.
"Let's do one thing. The day after tomorrow is an army holiday, so we can go somewhere to celebrate."
"Okay! My treat!" Su Jiyai proposed and Han Weilin could only agree.
However, due to an emergency, Han Welin had to leave the army just 2 days later.
Su Jiyai was sad.
After all, with Qin Feng and Han Weilin's departure, she hardly had any friends.
The next day.
Su Jiyai got to know that due to the lack of manpower, she was shifted to some other division temporarily.
Su Jiyai knew that it was one of the common problems in the army and hence packed her supplies.
She also got to know that the trip would be long unlike the previous one-day return trips, so decided to pack most of her belongings.
Li Yuan and Wang Bao hold grudge against her.
What if they destroyed her belongings or sold them?
Not to mention, Su Jiyai always takes the two boxes gifted by her real parents with her.
If one day she dies, she will die with those two boxes in her hand.
God knows if she will be able to find it someday because of those boxes.
Su Jiyai soon arrived at the specific army division.
The leader glanced at Su Jiyai with a uninterested expression and Su Jiyai couldn't help but feel a bit anxious.
Was something bad going to happen?
"You will be stationed at the gate number 19." The leader said.
Su Jiyai froze.
Gate number 19 is said to have the least zombies.
Su Jiyai shook her head, she was truly not in her right mind.
As she made her way to the gate number 19, a question appeared in her mind.
Didn't say that the manpower was less? So why are they sending her to a gate where almost no zombies are present?
Su Jiyai had reached gate 19 by now. She decided to ask about it later.
Other than Su Jiyai, there were 3 more people stationed at gate 19.
One of them was the leader, who just happened to be Li Yuan.
Li Yuan ignored Su Jiyai and instructed the other two on what to do.
Then she turned toward Su Jiyai and said,
"Jiyai you have come on right time. For the past few hours, strange noise has been detected, you have to go and survey the area ahead."
Su Jiyai paused and said in a neutral tone,
"I can't, it can be dangerous."
"I am not asking you to go too far, just 40 steps would be enough." Li Yuan said in a soft voice.
One of the two men whom Li Yuan had instructed before muttered in a voice that Su Jiyai could hear,
"What a coward! Can she still be counted as a soldier?"
"I know right?"
Hearing their words Li Yuan's face suddenly had a smile.
She turned towards Su Jiyai and asked in a low voice,
"Will you or will you not?"
Su Jiyai found Li Yuan's expression very strange at that moment. Feeling a bit dizzy, Su Jiyai nodded,
"Okay."
"Oh and take your bag with you." Li Yuan said.
Su Jiyai didn't find it strange and nodded.
Suddenly one of the men patted Su Jiyai's shoulder and said,
"It is just a small survey no need to be so tensed."
Su Jiyai dodged him and nodded with a blank expression.
Soon Su Jiyai completed her 40 steps. She wasn't far from them but she wasn't close to them too.
As she started to walk one of the two men standing beside Li Yuan shouted,
"Now look..."
However, before he could finish his words, a roar sounded.
Su Jiyai blinked and realized that she had unintentionally walked up so far. She was about to run back when suddenly a few zombies obstructed her path from the front.
How strange!
Su Jiyai thought. Now even if she wanted to return, she can't.
After all, there were not just 1 or 2 zombies there were at least 20 or so zombies.
When did they come near her?
Why didn't she hear their movements before?
"Hey come back!" One of the men shouted but Su Jiyai turned around and started to run in the other direction.
Li Yuan looked at her left and nodded.
Suddenly Su Jiyai felt that the zombies behind her were much more than before. Worried that it might cause trouble Su Jiyai ran as fast as she could.
Su Jiyai didn't even realize that more and more zombies were coming in her direction. As if she were some magnet.
"Hahaha! What a good plan!" One of the men Xiao Cui laughed.
"Xiao Cui the illusion created by you looked so real!" The other man named Gao Michen said.
"Brother the zombies attracted by towards her after that are much more amazing." Xiao Cui praised.
"Okay let's not waste time we need to create evidence that Su Jiyai ran away from the army on her own and has died."
The plan was simple. Li Yuan would convince Su Jiyai to leave, Xiao Cui would create an illusion and the energy left by Gao Michen would then truly start to attract Zombies.
Gao Michen was the guy who had patted Su Jiyai on the back. His powers were rather unique.
As long as he wants he can leave a trace of energy on the other person because of which zombies will start to flock to that person.
"She is not dead yet though." Xiao Cui said in a cautious tone.

"Do you think she will escape from the hordes of zombies following her? And did you forget why we chose gate 19?
Even though the zombies at gate 19 are fewer, it doesn't mean there are no zombies. On the contrary, once you leave Gate 19, you will soon realize that the surrounding has more zombies than other areas." Li Yuan explained.
"So that means she would die for sure?" Xiao Cui asked.
"Not until a miracle happens." Li Yuan said with a smile.
"Don't worry my energy will stay on for the entire day. Even if she wants she won't be able to escape from the zombies." Gao Michen patted his chest.
Li Yuan smirked and muttered,
"I hope you become a zombie Jiyai. You are beautiful...and that is the reason for your downfall."
Then she took out her phone and called someone,
"Hello? Yeah, the work is done. It's time to create evidence."
...
Su Jiayi ran when she realized more and more zombies were starting to chase her.
She made her way toward gate 18, where the most powerful superhumans were present however the path was obstructed.
Su Jiyai noticed all the paths that could lead back to the military were blocked.
Sweat formed on Su Jiyai's forehead.
Is she going to die?
Su Jiyai didn't know.
She didn't even know where she was running to. She was only following her instinct.
But it was clear that her instincts were wrong because more and more zombies could be seen in the direction she was running.
More than 500 zombies were chasing Su Jiyai.
To say she wasn't frightened would be an understatement.
.....
Qin Feng who was travelling with his superiors, suddenly felt a strange kind of anxiety in his heart.
He placed his hand on his heart and muttered,
"What is happening?"
He looked around thinking someone was playing tricks on him but didn't find anyone.
Was he thinking too much?
Or did something happen to his close one?
Wait. Is Su Jiyai okay?
Qin Feng's heart skipped a beat.
He instantly called in the army camp. When the call was connected, he asked his subordinate,
"Where is Jiyai?"
"Reporting to Captain, she is stationed at gate 19."
"Why there?" Qin Feng instantly felt wary.
"Reporting to Captain, a few more superpower users have completed their training and are getting trained in the area where Miss Su and other soldiers used to patrol. So Miss Su has been shifted to other areas."
Qin Feng knew that it was one of the common scenarios in the army and finally gave up.
"Okay. When she returns, inform me."
"Alright, Captain!" The subordinate said. In his heart, he couldn't help but wonder, whether his Captain has fallen for Miss Su.
Was this the reason why his Captain was opposing the engagement proposal?
Once the call hung up, Qin Feng felt regret in his heart. If only...if only he had given her an answer...
He wanted to hug her, kiss her, and even tell her that he had slowly fallen in love with her...
However, the circumstances involving her were very complex, so he first wanted to clear it up and then propose to Su Jiyai.
He patted his heart and muttered,
"It's alright, soon she will be mine."
A small smile appeared on Qin Feng's face. His eyes turned a bit dreamy as he thought about the future he was going to share with her.
He made a firm decision in his heart to give Su Jiyai an answer for now and ask her to wait for him.
Qin Feng didn't know that soon, Su Jiyai would never return army.
For a long time, he would regret, not asking her to wait.
...
Su Jiyai too was thinking about Qin Feng.
If only...if only she could have hugged him.
There was also Han Weilin...
Su Jiyai regretted not writing any last letter to Han Weilin.
She would soon die. And it was sure that her dead body would never return to the army. She might even end up becoming a zombie.
She was abandoned by her parents, yet she tried to live her life.
She was abused and tortured by her foster parents, yet she strived to live every day.
Even when her foster parents kicked her out, she didn't shed a single tear.
The life in army was difficult but she never gave up.
Her foster parents ruined her reputation in the army, but even then Su Jiyai didn't give up.
However, today Su Jiyai felt like crying.
Why was life so hard?
When her hard work had finally paid off, things were turning stable, and soon she might have a boyfriend who loved her, everything was snatched away from her.
Did god hate her so much?
A tear formed in her eyes and Su Jiyai cursed,
"Why? Why? Why do you make my life hell time and time again? Am I so unlovable? Why don't just for once you make my life easy...
I hate you! I hate you!"
Su Jiyai cried as she ran.
She was feeling vulnerable at that moment.
Life is unfair.
Su Jiyai understood it at that moment.
She never complained, was hardworking, and always tried to look at every situation from a different perspective, but was the result of all those efforts?
Death.
More and more zombies started to flock around Su Jiyai. Su Jiyai didn't even need to think, she was sure that at least 1000 zombies were flocking behind her and would soon catch up to her.
For a moment Su Jiyai thought of stopping and throwing herself into the hordes of Zombies and becoming a zombie.
It's better if she dies.
Anyway, she doesn't have any good future considering how bad her luck is.
Despair wasn't the only negative emotion Su Jiyai was feeling.
She started to even doubt whether Qin Feng's answer would be a yes or not.
No! What was she thinking? She doesn't know his answer and she can't die without knowing it.
She has to live! She has to know it!
"Please...please help! Somebody, please help." Su Jiyai shouted.
But in the vast land, other Su Jiyai and zombies, there was no help.
"Brother Feng! Sister Weilin! Please help!" Su Jiyai's tone was filled with begging.
Tears kept streaming down her cheeks.
Suddenly some more zombies started to flock from the front and Su Jiyai fought with them to make a way for herself.
Till now only level 1 zombies were flocking to Su Jiyai hence she was still safe. However, seeing the level 2 zombies joining the force, a chill ran down her spine.
The level 2 zombies were faster, stronger, and more cunning than the ones she had been battling so far.
Su Jiayi scanned her surroundings, searching for anything that could give her an advantage. She noticed a narrow alleyway to her left, partially blocked by debris but still passable.
It was a risky move, but it might slow the zombies down.
She sprinted towards the alleyway, leaping over the debris and squeezing through the narrow passage.
The walls were close, scraping against her shoulders, but the confined space worked in her favor as it forced the zombies to slow down and come at her one by one.
Panting and sweating, Su Jiayi emerged on the other side of the alley into a small courtyard.
For a brief moment, Su Jiyai thought that she was finally safe.
But that hope was quickly dashed when she saw more zombies pouring in from the other side. She was surrounded again.
Desperation clawed at her, but she refused to let it consume her. She looked up and saw a fire escape ladder on the side of a building.
It was a long shot, but it was her only shot. She ran towards it, jumping up to grab the lowest rung and pulling herself up with every ounce of strength she had left.
As she climbed, the zombies reached the base of the ladder, their rotting hands grasping at her feet.
She kicked at them, her boots making contact with decaying flesh, and kept climbing. When she reached the rooftop, she collapsed, gasping for breath.
The rooftop was relatively safe, but she knew it was only temporary.
She had to keep moving, find a way to signal for help, or at least find a place to hide until she could come up with a better plan.
Su Jiyai took a deep breath and rested for a while.
Her heart was pounding. She looked around warily and surveyed her surroundings. She was trying to find if there was any army camp nearby.
However other than a metallic blue color shaped square, Su Jiyai didn't find anything.
Su Jiyai knew about the square. In fact, it wasn't a square. It was a 5000 sq ft area surrounded by large metallic blue walls that emitted electricity whenever someone dared to go near it.
What was even more amazing, was that it was the only place, zombies couldn't go near to.
