A Fake Holy Mother in the Zombie Apocalypse

Lu Xingchi's sweet fragrance, mixed with the scent of strong liquor, washed over Bei Nuan's senses in wave after wave.

Bei Nuan bit down hard on the skin of his neck.

His hair was soft and lustrous, gently brushing against Bei Nuan's cheek, her ears burning hot.

His shoulders and arms were broad and powerful, tense and taut, the muscles beneath his shirt clearly defined, yet he held Bei Nuan in an almost submissive embrace.

Bei Nuan suddenly remembered the words he had spoken to her in the Jiangcheng supermarket, and she wanted to say them to him now—

Cute, I want to…

Lu Xingchi seemed to sense her dangerous thoughts, tilting his head slightly, doing his best to steady his voice under her forceful control, and asked, "Is the marking… done yet?"

Bei Nuan didn't answer, and applied more force with her teeth.

A new wave of electric shock-like sensations surged through his head.

Both of them groaned.

Lu Xingchi couldn't hold on any longer, his legs went weak, and he almost fell, taking Bei Nuan with him.

He held Bei Nuan with one arm, using the other to brace himself against the wall, controlling his voice, gritting his teeth, "Bei Nuan, if you have the guts, never leave this world."

The boss was not to be trifled with; his threats were always genuine, and he always followed through.

Bei Nuan reluctantly released her teeth, "Done."

Then, considerately, she asked, "Are you okay? Do you want to rest for a while?"

Her voice was as cheerful as a scumbag who had just taken advantage of someone.

Lu Xingchi seemed to grind his teeth.

He bent down and picked up the knife that had fallen to the ground at some point, casually twirling it, and walked forward first.

Indicating that he was not just okay, but very okay.

The city streets were deserted, with only bizarrely large animals and plants appearing.

A caterpillar the size of a roller coaster twisted over rapidly, its pair of large, scissor-like mandibles opening and closing.

Lu Xingchi held his knife and stood in front of Bei Nuan, but Bei Nuan pulled him back.

"Don't chop it, I'm afraid it will explode and dirty my clothes."

Bei Nuan raised her gun and shot it.

With a bang, the caterpillar turned into green smoke and disappeared cleanly.

After Bei Nuan used the same excuse to blast a giant bat that looked like an invisible bomber and a large beetle of unknown species whose wings buzzed loudly, Lu Xingchi was absolutely certain that she was being considerate of him.

So, when they turned the street corner and a large patch of ants, each over a meter tall, appeared before them, Lu Xingchi didn't hesitate to stand in front of her and start dealing with the ant colony.

One knife per ant, without any hesitation.

Bei Nuan knew that he often used a knife in his previous life, but after being reborn with superpowers, he began to use a crossbow instead.

She rarely saw him use a knife.

His swordsmanship was skilled, and his movements were agile.

With the added bonus of his superpowers, the knife in his hand could be long or short, transforming into whatever shape he needed at any time, making him unpredictable and unstoppable.

He single-handedly dealt with the entire ant colony as easily as chopping vegetables, then turned around, looked at Bei Nuan with clear eyes, tilted his head at her, and curved the corners of his mouth, "Let's go."

Bei Nuan thought—

Cute. I want to… even more now.

After the temporary marking, the scent of Lu Xingchi's pheromones was no longer so strong, although it was still there, faint but persistent, filling Bei Nuan's mind with wicked thoughts.

Both of them were masters of swordsmanship and marksmanship, so the road wasn't difficult. It didn't take long for them to cross the dangerous streets and reach the foot of the tallest building in the city.

The building was completely covered with all kinds of strange plants, so that the exterior of the building could not be seen at all. Countless flowers were brightly colored, huge and bizarre, blooming in the dense branches and leaves.

Lu Xingchi chopped off the thorny brambles blocking the entrance and entered the lobby with Bei Nuan.

The lobby was also occupied by plants, like a primitive cave covered with vegetation.

But Bei Nuan didn't care about these, because she saw a person at a glance.

That person stood there, smiling with a familiar expression, looking at Bei Nuan.

"Dad!"

Bei Nuan ran over madly, but found that her outstretched hand passed through her father.

This was a virtual image.

But the shadow began to speak.

"Nuan Nuan, I'm very, very far away from here now, and I can't come back for the time being, so I can only ask Number Three to help me arrange this so I can say a few words to you. You're getting married?"

Bei Nuan nodded with tears in her eyes.

Some time ago, Bei Nuan asked Xiao San to tell her father about her decision to marry Lu Xingchi.

She originally wanted to wait for him to come back before telling him, but Xiao San said that her father was working in a remote world, and according to the time here, it would take another three or four years before he could really come back to see Bei Nuan, so they didn't have to wait any longer and could hold the wedding first.

Lu Xingchi had already caught up and also called out, "Dad."

Her father nodded and smiled at Lu Xingchi, and asked, "Did you see the note I wrote to you?"

"I saw it," Lu Xingchi replied.

Bei Nuan didn't understand, "What note?"

Her father smiled, "I put a note in the folder in the safe at No. 1 Garden Road. I guessed that you've always been careless since you were a child, so you definitely wouldn't be able to find it. Lu Xingchi is much more careful than you."

Lu Xingchi said, "It said 'Help me take care of Nuan Nuan.' I knew it was your father's handwriting. I'd seen it before on the note in the iron box and on the title page of your History of World Civilization."

Bei Nuan understood.

So Lu Xingchi understood that No. 1 Garden Road was a gift from her father, and let her really live there.

Her father looked Bei Nuan up and down, then looked at Lu Xingchi again, his face full of relief, "Although Number Three told me everything, I can only feel relieved after seeing it with my own eyes."

"I have very limited time to connect, and I have a few more words I want to say to Nuan Nuan alone," her father said apologetically to Lu Xingchi.

Lu Xingchi automatically walked away.

"I've read all of his information carefully, and he's not bad," her father said to Bei Nuan. "But if he really dares to bully you, tell Number Three, or wait until I come back in a few years and settle the score with him."

Bei Nuan laughed, "He won't. He's really good."

Her father nodded, "That's good. I have to disconnect now, Nuan Nuan, take care of yourself."

Her father's image flickered and disappeared.

Bei Nuan stared at the void for a while, then walked to Lu Xingchi's side.

Lu Xingchi reached out and put his arm around her shoulders, "Actually, there was another sentence on the note besides 'Help me take care of Nuan Nuan'."

Bei Nuan was curious, "What sentence?"

"'If you dare to let her down, I'll let you experience what it's like to be struck by lightning'."

Bei Nuan burst out laughing. This was definitely a threat from a god.

So childish, men are like children no matter how old they get.

The elevator was definitely out of service, so the two of them went upstairs via the fire escape.

After only a few steps, they saw a huge round object rolling down the stairs, bumping from side to side.

The surface of the large ball was light green with dark green patterns, obviously a super-sized watermelon.

What kind of attack was this?

But being hit by it wouldn't be fun either.

Bei Nuan raised her gun and blasted it.

The air was immediately filled with the sweet aroma of grilled watermelon flesh and rind.

They grilled pumpkins, potatoes, apples, and pears all the way up, the aroma so tempting that Bei Nuan was getting hungry, before they finally reached the roof.

The top floor had been so damaged by the mutated plants that it was unrecognizable. The branches and leaves were denser than anywhere else. Several soft vines snaked across the ground, trying to entangle Bei Nuan's legs, but Lu Xingchi chopped them off with a few strokes of his knife, and they didn't dare to approach again.

A huge crystal penetrated the roof of the building, embedded in the ceiling and the dense vegetation, emitting a dazzling purple light.

Xiao San's voice rang out, "Congratulations, once you activate the bomb and evacuate, the mission will be successful after the explosion."

It sounded very simple.

Just as Bei Nuan took the bomb out of her space, Lu Xingchi took the bomb.

He asked Xiao San, "How powerful is the explosion? How far do we need to evacuate?"

Xiao San replied, "This is a small bomb, it will only destroy the crystal. Just leave the top floor."

Lu Xingchi set the timer for twenty minutes, which should be enough.

Lu Xingchi activated the bomb and let go.

The bomb had a metal casing, which Lu Xingchi easily lifted up and stuck firmly to the exposed pipes on the roof.

Lu Xingchi confirmed that it couldn't be removed, and then said, "Okay, let's go."

As they left the top floor, Bei Nuan wondered as she walked down the stairs, "Wasn't that bomb placement a little too simple?"

Then she suddenly understood, "Actually, Xiao San just wanted to pull us here before the wedding to see my dad, right?"

"Yes, but it seems like it's not just for that."

Lu Xingchi frowned slightly, looking a little anxious. "You forgot, he said his experiment wasn't to test the mutated flora and fauna of the apocalypse."

What he wanted to test was people.

Bei Nuan smelled the sweet and sharp scent of alcohol again.

The fragrance permeated the entire stairwell, probably because the space was small, it was even stronger than when they were on the street.

Bei Nuan was a little strange, "Didn't I just give you a temporary mark? The books all say that a temporary mark can last for a long time."

But he looked like he was going into heat again.

Lu Xingchi didn't say anything, reached out and grabbed the handrail, and continued downstairs.

After walking down another floor, Bei Nuan suddenly realized that he was swaying, as if he couldn't stand still.

She reached out to support Lu Xingchi, "Are you feeling unwell? I'll help you downstairs."

Lu Xingchi didn't refuse, released the handrail, and put his arm around Bei Nuan's shoulder.

His whole body leaned over, and half of his weight was firmly on Bei Nuan, almost crushing her.

Lu Xingchi was like a drunkard, supported by Bei Nuan, and the two of them staggered downwards together.

Bei Nuan thought, his condition was much more serious than when he had just received the temporary mark.

Could this be the legendary deep heat?

Bei Nuan tried to support him, cheering herself up in her heart: I am an Alpha now, and an Alpha must take responsibility and carry this very abnormal and very heavy Omega downstairs.

"Nuan Nuan…"

He whispered her name in Bei Nuan's ear, his voice very different from usual, with a long trailing sound.

Bei Nuan turned her head and found that he wasn't paying attention to the steps at all, but was looking at her with a dazed expression.

"Nuan Nuan, you smell so good." He rubbed the broken hair on her temples with the tip of his nose.

Bei Nuan was polite to him, "It's okay, it's okay, you smell good too."

He really did smell good.

Supporting him like this, it was as if she was surrounded by his sweet scent. Bei Nuan was completely relying on the last trace of clarity in her mind and her awareness as an Alpha to persevere downwards.

"It seems… we don't need to go down any further," he whispered in her ear.

Bei Nuan suddenly realized that he was right. Xiao San had said that they only needed to leave the top floor. They had already gone down several floors and didn't need to go any further.

He was dazed, but some parts of his brain were still working.

Now they just had to wait for the time to come, the bomb to explode, and the mission would be successfully completed.

Bei Nuan breathed a sigh of relief and let him down.

Lu Xingchi's body was almost limp, and he sat down on the stairs.

He leaned against the railing, tilting his head back as if he couldn't breathe, and used his hand to undo the buttons on his collar, then continued downwards, unbuttoning several buttons on his chest in one go, revealing his chest.

"Nuan Nuan, come here, help me mark again," he said.

Given his current state, it was obvious that a temporary mark wouldn't work at all. Biting him now would only make things worse.

Bei Nuan comforted him, "Calm down. You don't want to put on a show for Xiao San, do you?"

Before Lu Xingchi could answer, Xiao San's voice really came.

"According to the requirements for protecting the privacy of hosts in the system's operating specifications, I have turned off the monitoring screen, and I will turn off the sound in a while. I will only collect your data."

Bei Nuan: "…"

Lu Xingchi laughed and reached out to Bei Nuan, "Nuan Nuan, come here."

Seeing that she still had no intention of going over, he suddenly grabbed Bei Nuan's wrist and pulled her into his arms with force.

He was dazed, but his strength was still considerable.

Bei Nuan was pulled into his arms, and she felt like a starving person hugging a sweet and tempting cake.

Even the big cake itself was in a "eat me, eat me quickly" posture.

"You asked for this."

Bei Nuan knelt up, supported his shoulders, and bit his neck.

Both of them gasped at the same time.

A strange feeling merged and exchanged in the bodies of the two people, but everyone knew that this was not enough.

Lu Xingchi held Bei Nuan's waist tightly, without saying a word.

Bei Nuan couldn't hold on any longer, released his neck, and tentatively asked, "Otherwise… should we really do a permanent mark?"

Lu Xingchi raised his head, looking at her with dazed and innocent eyes, and asked, "What is a permanent mark?"

Bei Nuan tried to choose her words, "It's… uh… not just biting your glands… but really… uh…"

Lu Xingchi understood, "I don't want to."

He reached out and pulled Bei Nuan down, held the back of her head, and kissed her deeply.

The two leaned against the railing, entangled to the death, but it was useless.

Bei Nuan knelt down from a high position, not letting him kiss her again, pressed him against the railing, and gently seduced him, "You can't stand it, and I can't stand it either, otherwise we might as well…"

Lu Xingchi looked up at her, his always light and clear eyes covered with a layer of confusion, the collar of his shirt wide open, his chest heaving, his skin flushed red.

Bei Nuan seemed to see a hint of softening and compromise in his eyes.

He finally opened his mouth.

There was a loud bang.

The entire stairwell shook.

Immediately afterwards, there was a dizzying darkness.

When the surroundings lit up again, Bei Nuan saw that she was still sitting on the flower-armed big brother's three-wheeled motorcycle.

The heavy rain outside had actually stopped.

The blue sky was revealed from the layers of clouds, and the sun cast radial rays of light downwards on the distant horizon.

Lu Xingchi was sitting next to Bei Nuan.

He looked like he was still a little breathless, but his eyes had returned to clarity.

Bei Nuan felt her body return to its normal state, and couldn't help but reach out and touch his neck.

The back of his neck was smooth and flat, without any abnormalities.

Lu Xingchi let her touch him without moving.

"Do you still want to check something else?" he asked lightly.

"No need. No need." Bei Nuan smiled at him and withdrew her hand.

Lu Xingchi glanced at her again, then suddenly acted like lightning, pulled her into his arms, parted her hair, and bit her neck.

"I want to mark you too," he said in dissatisfaction.

Bei Nuan gloated, "Dream on. You don't have that function. You've been marked by me, and you're mine from now on."

The commotion they made caused the flower-armed big brother driving in front to turn his head.

Lu Xingchi released Bei Nuan nonchalantly and asked, "We should be almost there, right?"

The flower-armed big brother smiled and said, "It's not far, we'll be at the temple soon."

The three-wheeled motorcycle turned a corner and saw the beautiful circular golden dome of the temple.

But a large group of people were gathered outside the temple.

Bei Nuan saw her wedding team at a glance, and they were still carrying large boxes containing wedding dresses.

Bei Nuan jumped out of the car and ran straight over, asking them, "What's wrong? Did you find the wedding dress?"

"The wedding dress was found, without any mishaps."

Several people spoke at once, pointing to the inside of the temple.

"But the rain was too heavy just now, and one side of the main hall of the temple where the wedding was to be held collapsed. Fortunately, no one was injured. But now everyone has been driven out, and the temple is temporarily closed."

Lu Xingchi also came over and asked, "When will it be repaired?"

A staff member-like person next to him replied solemnly, "The temple is a thousand-year-old cultural relic. We need to invite experts to repair it. Optimistically, it will take at least two or three years."

Bei Nuan: "…"

This unlucky and endless road to pulling the flag is not over yet.
