"Alright, as long as Wei wants it, I will make it happen," Zhan Yixiao said, looking at Wei with affection before suddenly launching a mental attack on Su Ruolan.
Su Ruolan's mental strength was formidable, and under normal circumstances, she would never be easily defeated. However, at that moment, she was caught off guard by the sudden change and did not put up any resistance. She lacked even the most basic self-defense; perhaps her mind was already scattered, making her an easy target for Zhan Yixiao's strike.
Zhan Yixiao's physical form had already become quite human-like. Aside from the unchangeable color of his pupils, his fangs and long nails could retract freely. He gently supported the collapsing Su Ruolan, helped her into the car, started the engine, and drove away.
Meanwhile, Qin Zhi Han, entangled with the zombies, sensed something was wrong but was still too slow to react. He watched helplessly as Su Ruolan was taken away. Anger surged within him as he unleashed several powerful attacks, eliminating the nearby zombies completely, but he was left exhausted. Sweat trickled down his temples as he stared at the empty road ahead, filled with resentment and unwillingness.
After nearly a month of relentless marching and countless battles along the way, both his body and mind were heavily drained. Yet seeing someone he cared about being taken away like that left him feeling utterly powerless. At that moment, Qin Zhi Han felt immense disappointment in himself. For the first time, beyond his sense of duty, he desperately wished to become stronger—not just to save or help others but to protect those he wanted to keep safe. He had to grow stronger; it wasn't just about himself but also about having influence. In that instant, Qin Zhi Han realized how weak individual power truly was.
The image of Su Ruolan collapsing and the tear at the corner of her eye magnified infinitely in his mind like a dull knife slowly cutting through his heart. Why did she lose control when she saw Qi Runzhou? Why did Qi Runzhou's marriage hit her so hard? Didn't she already have a husband? What did her husband have to do with Qi Runzhou?
Qin Zhi Han longed to return to Huaxia Military Headquarters to gain power and avenge Su Ruolan. Deep down, he knew that pursuing them would likely be futile; Su Ruolan might have already turned into a zombie by now. But sitting in the car, he found it impossible to turn back; it felt as if the steering wheel had a mind of its own. The more he pressed on the accelerator, the faster he went in the direction Zhan Yixiao had taken.
Perhaps Ruo Lan hadn't been harmed by those zombies yet; if only he could go faster, he might catch up with her. Her state was too concerning for him to simply turn back.
Maybe if he pursued them further, they would both face dire consequences, but he couldn't just leave her behind! Life should be lived passionately for what one desires—without regrets.
The speed had soared to 160 kilometers per hour when Qin Zhi Han finally spotted a familiar car ahead. Great! He had finally caught up. Ruo Lan, hold on; I'm coming!
Zhan Yixiao glanced at the rearview mirror and saw Qin Zhi Han chasing after them. He couldn't help but smirk disdainfully and said to Wei, "Wei, hold on tight; Yi Xiao Brother is about to accelerate."
"Alright, Brother Yi Xiao, you take care." Wei nodded obediently, sitting in the back seat as she curiously looked at the unconscious Su Ruolan. She gently held Su Ruolan's large hand, just like how Su Ruolan often held hers. Leaning her face against Su Ruolan's hand, she slowly spoke each word: "Mom, is that you? It's me, Wei. I miss you so much."
