Capítulo 31: Getting Married

Jiang Zhi peeked and saw a man who didn't look like a soldier. "Who's that man?"

Shen Yize squinted, as if questioning Jiang Zhi's awareness. Clearly, they had been together since the beginning, how did he know who the stranger was. However, Jiang Zhi didn't understand his complaint, and Shen Yize could only answer, "I don't know."

"Maybe he's just like us, trying to get out of here as quickly as possible," Jiang Zhi guessed.

After waiting for a while until the man left, Jiang Zhi whispered into Shen Yize's ear. "But do you know what's good about being in a military base?"

Shen Yize glanced at him inquisitively and shook his head in response.

"You're guaranteed to have a life, you get free food and drinks, and you get really good survival training."

"Haha! Are you kidding?" Shen Yize couldn't contain his amusement. He really thought about Jiang Zhi in the early days of their meeting, Jiang Zhi being naive and simple.

After laughing enough, Shen Yize revealed his disagreement. "That's not good at all! You're just pawns for those stronger than you. Well, at least that's what happened to the military during the apocalypse."

Jiang Zhi understood, but also didn't understand. However, he knew for sure there were some dirty things hidden in the bones of an official, even if they were part of the army. So, he nodded. "I understand your feelings. Alright, let's get out of here. The man is gone."

They got into the car and started it, ready to leave the base area temporarily through a side road. Some soldiers stood guard and asked them to stop.

Shen Yize said to Jiang Zhi, "No, don't stop!"

Jiang Zhi agreed with Shen Yize's words and kept pressing the gas. The car would plow through the barrier no matter what happened. However, Jiang Zhi kindly warned the guarding soldiers, "Get out of the way! You'll get hit if you obstruct the path!"

Then the car crashed through the roadblock amid the angry shouts of some soldiers.

Shen Yize was slightly dissatisfied and clicked his tongue, commenting, "You're still too gentle. Be more aggressive."

"Yeah, my bad." Jiang Zhi apologized as usual.

Bang! The sound of gunshots was heard aimed at their car. Several angry figures appeared in front of the gate.

Jiang Zhi glanced through the rearview mirror and wondered if those soldiers would chase them?

"They won't chase us, unless they're crazy and think we're thieves or something." Shen Yize leaned back, seeming unconcerned.

"They seem irrational, buddy. They're chasing us!"

Hearing that, Shen Yize looked at the rearview mirror and saw headlights from a car far behind them. He turned his gaze back and asked Jiang Zhi, "Can you step on it? If not, turn around and let me handle it."

"No, no. I can handle this. Just hold on tight!"

Shen Yize agreed and let Jiang Zhi drive the car to escape the pursuit of the soldiers.

"Watch the road! Hey, there's a sharp turn ahead. Don't miss it!" As a user of special abilities, Shen Yize had much better vision than Jiang Zhi.

Jiang Zhi tried to steer the car, but due to his lack of experience, his movements were stiff and erratic.

Because of the high speed, their car couldn't avoid the sharp turn and skidded onto the slippery side of the road before tumbling into a ravine. In the ravine, there were many green trees and wet soil. The car crashed into several trees before coming to a stop.

Jiang Zhi groaned in pain but remembered something else. He looked to the side, calling out, "Hey, Shen Yize! Are you okay? Shen Yize..."

Being in the darkness with the engine dead and the lights broken made it difficult for Jiang Zhi to see. As he reached for Shen Yize's side, he realized Shen Yize wasn't there and the car door was open.

Jiang Zhi quickly got out of the car and searched for Shen Yize, ignoring the pain in his hand.

"Hey, Shen Yize! Where are you?!

"Shen Yize, are you okay? You're still alive, right?"

Jiang Zhi found Shen Yize lying unconscious quite a distance away from the spot where they fell when the car plummeted into the ravine.

"Hey, Shen Yize, don't worry, I'll get you to safety."

As Jiang Zhi was about to lift Shen Yize, he felt pain in his arm. It made him shout in frustration due to his inability. He snorted in anger and pushed himself until he managed to carry Shen Yize.

A foul smell wafted in the air, growing stronger, mixed with threatening growls and hurried footsteps. Soon after, undead bodies appeared, blocking Jiang Zhi's path one by one.

Jiang Zhi's difficulty increased as he had to carry Shen Yize. He searched for a relatively safe spot and carefully placed Shen Yize under a tree while fending off the closest zombie.

"Damn, this is tough!" Jiang Zhi thought about what he should do now. He remembered the Paper Roll, remembering that he still had space.

He found a safe spot and took out some disliked items, especially ones with strong odors to mask Shen Yize's scent.

Jiang Zhi whispered, "Come on, take me in."

Jiang Zhi entered the room in panic and hurriedly searched for the Paper Roll!

"Can you tell me how to bind someone in this room?"

The Paper Roll that appeared immediately asked, "Huh? There's only one way, which is to make them your partner."

Jiang Zhi didn't carefully consider Paper Roll's words and quickly nodded. "Yes, I need to save someone."

"Are you serious? Getting married in a registered room isn't a joke; it can't be undone. You have to be serious about this."

"I am serious!" Jiang Zhi couldn't imagine anyone else he wanted to marry besides Shen Yize, so he didn't think much about anything else.

Paper Roll didn't immediately provide an answer, which annoyed Jiang Zhi. "Can you help me or not?"

"Alright, alright. You need to learn to be patient."

"Hurry up, it's an emergency!"

An old box appeared in front of Jiang Zhi, containing pieces of information about the room. Paper Roll directed him to a possession note.

"Just write your partner's name next to yours and add a drop of your blood as a signature on that paper."

Jiang Zhi did it quickly, not even reading the contents of the paper. He followed each step swiftly, and the paper inside the box displayed Shen Yize's portrait.

"You can take him to the space room now. And don't forget to drop his blood on this paper so that he can freely enter and exit the space and get the treatment he needs."

Jiang Zhi nodded. "Alright. I'll leave now. Thank you."

Jiang Zhi exited the space and saw a group of zombies gathering near Shen Yize. As he tried to bring him back into the room, one of the zombies bit his shoulder.

"Damn it! Crazy zombies!" Jiang Zhi brought Shen Yize into the space.

After getting Shen Yize into the house, Jiang Zhi placed him in a room. Seeing the fresh blood on his forehead, he fetched clean water and gently wiped Shen Yize's face.

Jiang Zhi tended to Shen Yize carefully, helping clean his body and change his clothes. He hoped the man would wake up soon. He let out a sigh of relief as he saw some color return to Shen Yize's pale face, indicating returning vitality.

While waiting, Jiang Zhi also cleaned himself up.

Several hours later, Shen Yize's voice was heard. "Mmm..."

Jiang Zhi hurried over in a panic, touching Shen Yize's forehead. "Awake already? How do you feel? Are you in pain?"

"Jiang Zhi... I'm okay." Shen Yize realized the unfamiliar place, scanned his surroundings before asking, "Where are we?"

Scratching his nape, Jiang Zhi spoke apologetically.

"Sorry for all the confusion. We're in the space now, and I... I made you my partner without asking. Forgive me."

Shen Yize cast a brief glance at Jiang Zhi and took a deep breath, closing his tired eyes.

Jiang Zhi quickly reassured him, holding Shen Yize's hand. "Are you angry? I swear I didn't mean to take advantage of this messy situation, but you know, I didn't have a choice."

"Forgive me."

"No, I'm not angry. I just feel a bit under the weather." His words were so, but Shen Yize didn't look at Jiang Zhi and his demeanor was somewhat cold.
