Immortal in The Apocalypse

Hearing Xiu Wu’s question, Zhu Lin nodded. Xiu Wu was not satisfied with her answer and said, "Lin’er, look at me and answer me."

After a moment of silence, Zhu Lin looked up at him and said, "You are the Devil God, and also Xiu Wu. I know who you are."

Listening to her answer, Xiu Wu smiled and said, "Mhm, it’s me. Lin’er, I miss you so much. How have you been over the years? Do you miss me as much as I miss you?"

Zhu Lin smiled at him and said, "I miss you occasionally when I’m not busy."

Xiu Wu chuckled when he heard what she said. The two of them hugged for a while, and then Xiu Wu said, "We should go back now, so as not to worry Lao Yang and Xiao Wei."

Zhu Lin nodded, took out the flying sword, and said, "Let’s go."

The two of them immediately jumped on the flying sword and flew back to the Wu Lin base. When flying over the barrier, Zhu Lin looked up and asked, "Do you feel warmer?"

Xiu Wu, who was standing behind her, hugged her tighter, kissed her forehead, and said, "Mhm. With you in my arms, I will always feel warm."

As soon as they arrived at the door of the villa, Ji Yang opened the door, walked up to them, and asked in a worried tone: "Lao Xiu, where are you going? Are you so bored that you go out to courting death?"

Looking at his angry face, Xiu Wu said helplessly: "I didn’t–"

Before he finished speaking, Ji Yang noticed the frostbite on his body and asked anxiously: "Lao Xiu, what’s wrong with you?"

Without waiting for Xiu Wu’s answer, Ji Yang carried him and shouted while running back to the villa, "Xiao Wei, Xiao Wei! Hurry up and call the doctor!"

Seeing the helpless Xiu Wu being carried away by Ji Yang, Zhu Lin was dumbfounded. This was the first time she had seen the Devil God being carried away like a princess. It was so embarrassing that she looked away awkwardly. As Ji Yang made a fuss over Xiu Wu’s injury, Zhu Lin followed them into the villa.

The next day, Xiu Wu woke up and saw Zhu Lin sitting by the bed reading a children’s book. Noticing the change in his breathing, Zhu Lin raised her eyes and looked at him.

She smiled at him, put down the book, and said gently: "Good morning, Xiu Wu. How are you feeling today?"

Xiu Wu smiled at her, moved his fingers, and said sleepily: "It’s not that painful anymore."

Zhu Lin reached out and held his hand, taking a closer look at his swollen fingers. Seeing that his finger was still a little bit swollen, she took out a small jar of ointment from her ice flower pendant.

Zhu Lin gently applied the ointment on his fingers and said, "Don’t move your fingers and body too much until you recover."

Feeling that the burning pain and itching on the wounds were relieved after she applied the ointment, Xiu Wu breathed a sigh of relief. Enjoying her rare tenderness, Xiu Wu nodded and said obediently: "Mhm. I will listen to you."

Seeing that he was obedient, Zhu Lin asked with a smile: "Are you hungry?"

"A little bit." He replied while holding her hands.

Getting his answer, Zhu Lin put away the ointment, covered Xiu Wu with a blanket, and said, "I will be back in a minute."

After she left, Ji Yang and Tan Wei walked in, followed by a group of children. When Xiu Wu saw them coming, he asked, "What are you doing here instead of having breakfast?"

Tan Wei sat on the bed and said, "It seems you are much better than yesterday. Lao Xiu, you are really courageous to go out and play in this cold winter."

Looking at his smiling face, Xiu Wu smiled slightly and asked, "It’s rare for you to come to my bedroom. Did something happen?"

Ji Yang sat down on the chair next to the bed and said, "Captain Teng and Captain Song came to see you again today, but we told them that you were still sleeping. Besides, the children were also worried about you, so Xiao Wei and I took them with us to visit you today."

Xiu Wu raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at the children, then looked at Ji Yang, and asked, "Why are Captain Teng and Captain Song coming here so early?"

Ji Yang thought for a while and said, "It seems that the situation in the military base is very bad. In addition to them, I heard that many people died in other bases. The number of casualties is not less than when the apocalypse first began."

After listening to Ji Yang’s words, Xiu Wu thought for a while and said, "If they come again, tell them that I agree with their proposal. They can bring their people to our base, but they must abide by our regulations and rules."

After speaking, he looked at Tan Wei and said, "Xiao Wei, when they are here, you have to pay attention to those people. Make sure they don’t cause any trouble."

Tan Wei nodded to him and said, "All right."

Xiu Wu then turned to look at Ji Yang and said, "Lao Yang, I leave this matter to you. Please help them settle down and arrange a place for them to live."

Ji Yang nodded to him and found that the children were all staring at Xiu Wu. He smiled and said to them: "Come here. Didn’t all of you say you were going to visit Elder Brother Xiu Wu? Why didn’t you talk to him after meeting your Elder Brother Xiu Wu?"

Qian Yu stood at the front and stared at Xiu Wu for a long time before walking up to him, pointing at his heart and asking curiously: "Elder Brother Xiu Wu, your heart finally beats."
