Crystal Core Again 1

Buzz! Buzz!

A blood-spattered electric off-road vehicle sped along, closely followed by a large group of swiftly moving Mad Demon Zombies.

From time to time, new zombies joined the chasing horde, which grew larger and larger.

Fortunately, after modifications, the off-road vehicle was now very sturdy; small obstacles encountered along the way could be directly rammed through. If they came across large obstacles, they could be avoided in advance, and Han Rut’s driving skills were quite good. Plus, Han Rui was familiar with these roads, and with her Perception Ability, the vehicle managed to avoid being besieged by zombies.

As long as they weren’t surrounded, the danger was temporarily not significant.

Wang Tao kept a tight watch on the surroundings, guarding against any Elite Zombies that might appear. It would be troublesome if they encountered another Self-exploder blocking the path.

After more than ten minutes, Wang Tao finally let out a sigh of relief.

Luckily, they had managed to shake off the large army of zombies behind them.

They did encounter several Elite Zombies on their way, but none stood in the middle of the road, which could have been problematic.

At this moment, the vehicle stopped behind a house on the street, and Wang Tao switched places with Han Rui. Up until now, Han Rui had been driving. Her spirit had been highly focused, and using her Ability had drained her considerably. She now urgently needed to rest.

“Are you okay?”

After taking the driver’s seat, Wang Tao asked with concern.

“I’m fine, just a little tired…”

Han Rui wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, her complexion somewhat pale.

Wang Tao handed her a bottle of nutrient solution. Although it could only replenish Physical strength and not Spirit, her condition did also deplete Physical strength, so drinking some nutrient solution would definitely make her feel much more comfortable.

Gulp-

Han Rui poured the entire bottle of nutrient solution into her mouth and indeed felt much more comfortable.

Wang Tao started the vehicle, heading towards Shuize Base. They had taken a big detour just now to avoid the zombies, and now they needed to rush back to the base before dark.

After resting for a while with her eyes closed, Han Rui finally opened her eyes and sneakily glanced at Wang Tao.

Her mind was in disarray, not because of the sudden encounter with two Elite Zombies or the tense and thrilling chase that had just taken place, but because of the previous moment when they came across a Suicide Bombing Zombie at a corner and Wang Tao instinctively protected her in his arms-

At the moment of the explosion, both of them lay down, but Wang Tao had shielded her head in his embrace.

Han Rui’s mind was now filled with a “thump, thump, thump” sound-Wang Tao’s heartbeat.

Wang Tao… why did he protect her just now?

Although she and Wang Tao had a somewhat ambiguous relationship, she knew they hadn’t reached a very intimate level. They were just Ordinary friends, or rather, slightly closer friends; bluntly speaking… they were just friends with benefits.

Given their relationship, Han Rui couldn’t understand why Wang Tao instinctively protected her…

Especially when compared with her husband, Sun Weiguang, who instinctively hid behind her at any sign of danger when they were together. Only once he was sure there was no danger would Sun Weiguang venture out, pretending to be brave.

So, far from being protected by Sun Weiguang, he never even contemplated facing danger together with her.

But Wang Tao had actively protected her…

Though, to be fair, thanks to her quick reaction, the vehicle didn’t hit the Self-exploder, and they were barely affected by the blast. Regardless of being protected or not, she would not have been in any danger.

But that was still an instinctive action by Wang Tao. What does instinctive mean? It means that Wang Tao had already considered protecting her in his heart…

Han Rui was very proud. She had never wished to accept anyone’s protection in the past-of course, apart from her parents, no one had offered to protect her, as everyone treated her like a tomboy. Especially after becoming a police officer, she almost never experienced the feeling of being protected.

She used to think she didn’t need it.

But now, after being protected by Wang Tao, she felt very secure. It was a sensation she had only experienced in the embrace of her parents when she was a child…

“What’s wrong?”

Wang Tao suddenly turned his head, looking at Han Rui with a bit of surprise.

He felt that in just this short period, Han Rui had glanced at him several times.

“Nothing…”

Han Rui quickly turned her head away.

Wang Tao thought she was just too tired and didn’t pay much attention to it When Ability energy was exhausted, this kind of mental trance was common.

Wang Tao focused on driving.

After waiting a little longer, Han Rui suddenly spoke:

“Thank you for protecting me just now…”

She was a person of clear debts and grudges; since Wang Tao had protected her, she had to say thank you.

“Ah?”

Wang Tao was momentarily stunned, at first failing to comprehend what Han Rm was talking about. It took him a few seconds to realize she was referring to the incident with the Suicide Bombing Zombie when he had held her in his arms.

Wang Tao’s mouth twitched into a half-smile:

“In such a situation, shouldn’t you be saying something like ‘As a weak woman with nothing to offer in return, I can only pledge myself to you’? Just saying ‘thank you’ seems insincere!”

“…I’m not talking to you anymore!”

Han Rui leaned back in her seat, her head slightly turned towards the window as she closed her eyes.

Wang Tao shook his head, amused internally.

During the explosion of the Suicide Bombing Zombie, he had instantaneously activated his Toughness Ability, greatly increasing his defensive power, and he was also wearing Stubborn Armor, which further enhanced his defense.

In such circumstances, as a warrior, it was perfectly logical for him to protect a shooter, right?

Of course, the fact that Han Rui was attractive was also a reason. Wang Tao admitted he was indeed infatuated with Han Rui’s body..
