Chapter 1781 - 967: Heart-to-Heart with Bai Jie

Under the torrential rain, the world was shrouded in darkness.

Boom——

Occasional flashes of lightning and thunder woke those in their dreams.

The sky was a pitch-black, indistinguishable whether it was day or night.

The pouring rain gathered into the drainage system, then flowed through iron bars, cascading down to the cliff.

In the cliff, there were some zombies floating.

These zombies rose and fell with the water flow.

Inner City.

After visiting the First outer city and confirming no issues with the Zombie Generator, Li Yu returned to the Inner City.

The weather has been bad lately; besides occasionally going out to check on the walls, he’s mostly resting in the villa area.

It was so busy before; now even though zombies are besieging the city, with the mobile switch blade and guards, he doesn’t have to worry too much.

He finally has some time to rest.

It’s difficult to distinguish between day and night, but his routine hasn’t changed much.

Basement first floor.

A small gathering was happening at the moment.

It mainly included Li Yu, Father Li, Mrs. Li, and Li Hang, Ding Qingqing, Li Yuan, Yutong, and Yang Xiaozhu who returned from the First outer city.

They gathered on the basement first floor of the villa, with fruits and various foods prepared by Mrs. Li on the table.

Li Yu took out two bottles from his private cellar and placed them on the table.

Over time, the relationship between Yutong and Yang Xiaozhu didn’t go in the direction Li Yu feared.

Li Yu wasn’t good at handling this, once afraid of a chaotic scene occurring.

However, now it’s doomsday.

Li Yu’s straightforwardness in expressing feelings for both was simple: I like you both.

Having experienced many life-and-death crises in his past life, Li Yu has seen through many things.

Love is not the only thing.

Surviving and helping everyone live well is the most important.

Originally, Yutong couldn’t accept that Li Yu liked others at the same time.

In love, she didn’t want to share with anyone.

She was stubborn by nature, disdainful of competing for this love, and had considered leaving.

Until one time, when Li Yu went out for a task and hadn’t returned for a long time, she was worried.

Only then did she realize how much she cared, deeply cared.

Also, in doomsday, no one knows when they’ll die.

So she changed, living in the moment, choosing to accept since leaving was not an option.

Yutong was the one feeling guilty towards Yang Xiaozhu, who had been humble in this relationship.

Li Yu didn’t handle this matter directly, letting them communicate and solve it themselves, as he had more important things to do.

Sometimes, it’s miraculous how people change.

No one is perfect, Li Yu isn’t a Saint.

He came from a chaotic scene, walking through storms of blood and mountains of corpses.

He had long seen through many things.

Li Yu was selfish in matters of love.

But in this doomsday, he wasn’t good at dealing with emotional issues, so he chose not to.

Given crises on all sides, who knows when one might...

He therefore approached it in the simplest manner:

Do you like me?

Then let me ask myself, do I like you?

If I do, OK, then we’ll be together.

If I don’t, then I’m sorry, we’re not suitable.

I’m sorry if you can’t accept someone else in the picture.

If you want to leave, I’ll try to keep you.

But I won’t change.

Love isn’t his sole priority, so he doesn’t dwell on it.

He certainly longs for pure passionate love, but... he genuinely likes someone else too.

It’s doomsday, and he doesn’t want to be timid, facing who he truly is.

Expressing affections openly...

And he doesn’t care about others’ opinions, mouths belong to others, and he can’t stop them from speaking.

Besides, he’s the leader of the base, who dares to criticize him openly...

Even if they do, it would be in secret.

As the leader of Big Camphor Tree Base, whether in personal combat power or authority, everything he has makes many go crazy for him.

Honestly, some girls have expressed interest in him secretly, but Li Yu mostly hasn’t accepted.

Compared to the chaotic lifestyles of some leaders in small factions, Li Yu refrains from such excesses.

In a doomsday where safety isn’t guaranteed and people bow down to dust, moral dignity is disregarded, much less love matters.

Starving, talking about love? Can it be eaten?

.....

"Xiao Hang, come over, let’s have a drink with Dad." Li Yu said to Li Hang, who was holding Li Ke’ai.

Upon hearing this, Li Hang was about to pass adorable to Ding Qingqing, but Li Yuan quickly ran over and said, "Let me hold, let me hold."

But Li Ke’ai squirmed and said in a baby voice, "Put me down, I want to play games with Auntie."

"Hahaha. Come, Auntie will play with you." Li Yuan said, walking over.

Helplessly, Li Hang put Li Ke’ai down, letting Li Yuan hold her small hand.

Nearby, Yutong and Yang Xiaozhu smiled, walking over, as the three women surrounded Li Ke’ai, each touching her chubby little face.

Li Ke’ai’s little face was squeezed into different shapes, her mouth pouted, ready to cry.

Yutong took out a Disney Princess doll from behind.

"Sweetie, look what this is."

Li Ke’ai’s eyes sparkled, her skills interrupted.

She quickly embraced it.
