Silence was tormenting, each second felt unbearable.
Gu Ze had originally thought he would endure this prolonged suffering, but unexpectedly, within seconds of his words, Xu Nuan reacted.
"Mm."
"Mm?"
Gu Ze wanted to look at Xu Nuan's expression, which was currently lowered, but he hesitated.
Just as he had thought long ago, before he had pursued Qin Yaojie, if Qin Yaojie had died before they were together, he would never truly win against her.
He was tightly bound by his own thoughts, unable to breathe even after so much time had passed.
He sensed something was wrong but felt powerless to change it.
At that moment, the silence was the real torment.
Not knowing the other person's thoughts or expressions, consumed by the darkness.
After a long while, Xu Nuan finally spoke.
"He... didn't make any other moves?"
Zombies did not have their own thoughts; they were controlled. Qin Yaojie's corpse might be the pinnacle of achievement in this field for those people. But Gu Ze shattered that achievement completely. He wasn't worried about being resented by them; what troubled him was clear yet unspeakable.
But Qin Yaojie will always be an accident. The accidents he left gave many people an opportunity to take advantage of it, causing the conspiracy of Another Founder to collapse step by step. He is the starting point of all these things, which cannot be denied. Xu Nuan remembered that Liu Minghong had said that Qin Yaojie was very concerned about the field that Liu Minghong was responsible for. So, relying on Xu Nuan’s understanding of that man, she knew that Qin Yaojie There must have been some clues left before bidding farewell to this world. That clue must be related to what she wants to know. That is her last value and the value she must use. Gu Ze was stunned for a moment, and then felt a sense of sourness in his heart. The satisfaction that he had just rushed back to see Xu Nuan was safe disappeared without a trace. It's impossible not to mind, and Xu Nuan's words like this clearly show that she knows the dead man very well. This had nothing to do with the overall situation, but he still answered because the person opposite was Xu Nuan. "It has been holding its hand." If Qin Yaojie had not been poisoned, he would not have been killed by Zhang Xiao so easily. In turn, when his body becomes a Zombie, it is very lethal. Rao is Gu Ze, and it took a lot of effort to win. Among them, if Qin Yaojie didn't take care of his hand, Gu Ze would probably be even more uncomfortable. Gu Ze also after saying this sentence, what did I suddenly understand? Why is Qin Yaojie already a Zombie and still able to maintain his persistence? There must be something fishy in this, and it is this strangeness that Xu Nuan cares about. This is different from the tacit understanding between Xu Nuan and him, and it is also the past that Gu Ze has never participated in. What he should look to is the future, but the sourness in his heart at this moment is difficult to resolve. "hand?"
"Hand!"
Xu Nuan muttered a few words before realizing what was happening. She hurriedly took off the Tail Ring from her hand and looked at it under the moonlight, but saw nothing. Instead, Gu Ze, from his angle, noticed something.
"It shouldn't be my imagination," Gu Ze said, trying to maintain a normal expression. "It seems like something is flickering inside."
He suddenly recalled the positioning device in the telescope and realized that this Tail Ring was left behind by Qin Yaojie.
The Tail Ring left by Qin Yaojie, and yet Qin Yaojie's corpse refused to let go of its hand.
A flicker of unusual color passed through his eyes. This Tail Ring had significant use; he didn't know exactly what it was for, but seeing Xu Nuan's shocked expression, he understood that she knew its purpose—perhaps she had only realized it after his reminder.
"I need to find He Min!"
Understanding something important, Xu Nuan quickly stood up. She waved her right hand, and the Tail Ring left by Qin Yaojie appeared extremely dazzling in that moment. This was also something that had been bothering Gu Ze but remained unspoken.
Qin Yaojie was clearly dead, and they were already together; why did she still carry Qin Yaojie's belongings with her?
He didn't ask, and Xu Nuan didn't explain. The two Tail Rings seemed forgotten yet undeniably present.
Realizing she had missed something crucial, Xu Nuan felt flustered. She stood up hastily but stumbled forward due to her leg injury, only to be caught by Gu Ze.
She leaned on Gu Ze's shoulder with one hand while using the other to pull the necklace from around her neck in a hurry. Seeing this action made Gu Ze's eyes darken significantly, and the smile on his lips faded. He instinctively tightened his grip on Xu Nuan's hand, though neither of them noticed.
"Keep this safe; it's not secure with me."
Even after learning the true reason, Gu Ze felt no relief.
Only through comparison does one experience pain; he finally understood this saying.
"You're not allowed to go!"
When he saw Xu Nuan still intent on rushing outside without explanation, Gu Ze grabbed her, preventing her from leaving, his tone heavy with urgency.
The obvious anger finally reached Xu Nuan. She paused, staring blankly at Gu Ze, unsure of how to respond.
"Gu Ze."
After locking eyes with him for a while and realizing she was sinking into a deep abyss, Xu Nuan finally spoke, her voice somewhat strained yet resolute.
"Do you want to believe me?"
She seemed to sense something, though she didn't fully grasp it. It was merely a woman's intuition telling her that Gu Ze was anxious, or perhaps she knew that he had been uneasy since they started being together.
Feeling insecure in a relationship was never solely a woman's privilege; both men and women have their reasons for feeling uneasy about love. She understood this and wanted to take practical steps to alleviate Gu Ze's anxiety, just as he protected her.
Yet all matters circled back to one thing.
"I remember you told me a long time ago," Xu Nuan said seriously as she looked at Gu Ze, noticing his trembling and feeling that hint of pain. Finally, having sorted everything out, she rationally understood that this matter could not be revealed to Gu Ze just yet. "You made me believe in you, and I finally do. So what about you?"
She clearly judged when it would be best to reveal that matter, and her careful calculations were all for the man she loved most. She had always been saved; now it was time to return the favor. She wanted to experience what it felt like to be a hero.
"Gu Ze, do you believe in me?"
Just turning around, she could see Gu Ze, which gave her a sense of security. Conversely, it also made her realize that perhaps Gu Ze did not trust her completely, hence the desire to watch her every moment.
She did not mind this at all; in fact, it brought her comfort. However, at this moment, as the past was fading away and about to reach a conclusion, she needed this excellent man, Gu Ze, to face this reality as well.
Panic appeared in Gu Ze's eyes; both the corners of his eyes and lips trembled. He even found it hard to hold onto Xu Nuan.
That was indeed a question that struck deep into the soul!
Yet it also represented the final conflict between them. Whether they could resolve it properly depended entirely on the two involved.
At this point, Xu Nuan felt less anxious. He Min had already slipped away while she and Gu Ze were immersed in the joy of reunion. She knew that ultimately He Min could not escape; she just didn't want that Tail Ring to fall into someone else's hands. Now, she could distinguish priorities clearly: compared to the Tail Ring, Gu Ze was more important. She also believed that Gu Ze would make a choice quickly, allowing her to retrieve that Tail Ring soon.
Xu Nuan saw the turmoil in Gu Ze's eyes and his pain; her heart ached along with his, but she did not regret her question.
This was a problem laid out between them; if left unresolved, it would lead to regret. She, Xu Nuan, did not want any regrets in her life—especially not one named Gu Ze.
The night grew deeper, and the forest was very quiet. It seemed that no one else had found this place for now, allowing Xu Nuan and Gu Ze to be alone together.
She tried her best not to show any impatience and did not urge Gu Ze. She had made many mistakes herself, all of which had been forgiven one by one; at this moment, it was merely a matter of switching the main guest.
"I'm sorry."
However, no matter what, Xu Nuan had finally received Gu Ze's answer, and she revealed a smile that was almost tearful.
"It's okay, we still have plenty of time."
"I won't ask anymore; I trust your choice."
At that moment, Gu Ze felt as if the heavy stone pressing on his heart had flown away. He experienced an unprecedented sense of ease and truly realized that Xu Nuan was his woman, and they were together.
In this instant, there were no barriers between them.
Not everything done by an outstanding person is necessarily right, and love does not require one to calculate who trusts the other more. However, as long as one party is willing to wait, even if in the end everything is unequal, there will be nothing beyond life and death that can trouble those who have fallen into love.
"But let's wait for them to return before we discuss reclaiming the Tail Ring."
Gu Ze was determined; he immediately began to devise plans for Xu Nuan. This was how he had always shown himself—an unlimited indulgence towards Xu Nuan in this Life-and-Death Game.
"After all, this is where the Supply Station will appear. If she wants to leave, she will definitely come back. As long as we don't enter the Supply Station, we can keep waiting for her to return."
Clearly, Gu Ze was also aware of the peculiarities surrounding the Supply Station.
"I hadn't thought of that; you really are impressive."
Xu Nuan also withdrew her previous expression, and the atmosphere warmed again. The two exchanged smiles, as if nothing had happened before.
After expressing their feelings and rationally pushing the conflict away, they finally remembered to check their injuries. However, in the darkness, they didn't even turn on a flashlight; they simply relied on the dim moonlight to look at each other, and their heartbeats suddenly quickened.
The atmosphere improved even more, but soon after, an interruption arrived.
When Chi Xiaoming and Liu Minghong rushed over with Deng Yinyin, the warmth on their faces had yet to fade.
"Ahem."
At that moment, the two coughed in perfect harmony, followed by a glance at the newcomers, realizing something was off.
"Where's Xu Hang?"
"He found Yu Le Yu and is chasing after him," Chi Xiaoming replied. The remaining explanation was clear enough for Xu Nuan and Gu Ze to understand.
