Immortal in The Apocalypse

Before Ji Yang finished speaking, the door suddenly opened again. Xiu Wu looked at them and asked, "Xiao Lin has accepted a subjugation mission?"

Tan Wei nodded and said, "Yes. And the location is that strange village."

As soon as these words came out, Xiu Wu closed the door again. Looking at the closed door, Tan Wei and Ji Yang were both at a loss. The two of them looked at each other and saw the same confusion in the other’s eyes.

Twenty seconds later, Xiu Wu opened the door again. This time he was already wearing his ice silk cloak and carrying a backpack. He locked the door and said, "Let’s go."

After walking a few steps, he turned back and asked impatiently: "Aren’t you guys coming?"

Seeing the impatient look on his face, the two of them quickly followed him. Seven minutes later, the three of them saw Zhu Lin and four young women in front of the mission hall. Tan Wei breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that they were still waiting for him.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "This is the most rushed moment of my life. I can’t believe we were ready to go on a subjugation mission in just twenty minutes."

While Tan Wei was talking, Xiu Wu had already walked towards Zhu Lin. He looked at the four young women standing obediently beside Zhu Lin and saw two familiar faces.

After simply nodding to his neighbors, Xiu Wu looked at Zhu Lin and asked gently: "Xiao Lin, why didn’t you tell us when you accepted a subjugation mission?"

Meng Zhelan and her friends couldn’t help but squealed secretly when they saw how gentle Xiu Wu was when he was talking to Zhu Lin.

Hearing their squeals, Zhu Lin glanced at them for a second, then looked at Xiu Wu and said, "I don’t know what the three of you are doing or when you will come back, so I accepted Meng Zhelan and Wen Na’s invitation because I had nothing to do at the moment. In addition, Wen Na said that winter is approaching, and I also want to prepare for the winter while there is still time."

Listening to what she said, Xiu Wu felt a little guilty. He held her hands, lowered his eyes and whispered softly, "I’m sorry. I should tell you first, but the situation at the time was very urgent. When I came back today, I went to look for you, but you were not at home. I originally planned to look for you later, but Xiao Wei suddenly came to me and said that you were going out on a subjugation mission. I am worried about you, so I came here."

After speaking, he raised his eyes slightly and peeked at Zhu Lin’s expression. Seeing that there was only calm on her face, he lowered his eyes and sighed dejectedly in his heart. Unlike the depressed Xiu Wu, after listening to his explanation, Zhu Lin just nodded and said calmly: "Then let’s go together."

She turned to look at Meng Zhelan and the others, and asked, "Do you guys know the location of the village?"

Wen Na raised her hand and said, "I know. When I registered for the mission, the staff in the mission hall gave me a simple map."

Zhu Lin nodded and said, "All right. Then you can lead the way."

Together with Xiu Wu, Ji Yang and Tan Wei, they left the base before the sun came out from the horizon. Seven hours later, Han Xinyue looked up and saw the sun hanging high in the sky. Although the temperature drops every day, it is still over forty degrees today. Walking under the hot sun made her feel even hotter than staying indoors.

Looking at Zhu Lin, Xiu Wu, Ji Yang and Tan Wei wearing similar cloaks, Han Xinyue couldn’t help but ask, "Elder Sister Zhu Lin, aren’t you hot wearing a cloak in this hot weather? Is this your team’s uniform?"

Zhu Lin shook her head and answered calmly, "This cloak is made of one thousand year old ice silk. You won’t feel hot when you put it on, but it will feel cool and comfortable instead."

After hearing her words, Han Xinyue felt a little curious. She stared at Zhu Lin’s ice silk cloak and asked, "Elder Sister, can I touch your cloak?"

"Sure." Zhu Lin said as she lifted up her cloak.

With Zhu Lin’s permission, Han Xinyue reached out and touched her cloak. The moment she got close to Zhu Lin, she already felt that the temperature was not as hot as before. But when her fingers lightly touched the cloak, her eyes widened in surprise.

She couldn’t let go of the cloak and exclaimed in amazement: "It actually feels cold!"

Because of Han Xinyue’s surprised expression and her eagerness to get close to Zhu Lin, the curiosity of her other three friends was also aroused. When the other three young ladies exchanged glances, Xiu Wu’s expression became even more gloomy. He was unhappy because he couldn’t walk side by side with Zhu Lin because of them.

Walking beside him, Tan Wei glanced at Xiu Wu’s expression. He thought for a few seconds, lowered his voice and asked, "Lao Xiu, have you given the gift to Xiao Lin?"

Hearing his question, Xiu Wu shook his head and said in a bad mood, "I haven’t found an opportunity to give it to Xiao Lin yet."

After speaking, he glanced displeased at the four young ladies who were excitedly surrounding Zhu Lin. As if sensing his dark aura, the four of them trembled at the same time. Meng Zhelan rubbed her arms and said, "I suddenly felt very cold. Has the temperature suddenly dropped a lot today?"

Zhuo Yuyan also felt the sudden cold. She rubbed her hands and said, "I felt cold too."

After hearing what the two said, Wen Na nodded and said, "Me too."
