When Xia Lei saw her husband for the first time, she was truly overwhelmed with excitement.
The arrival of the apocalypse made their reunion feel surreal, as if they were in different worlds.
However, when she saw her husband with a bruised face, her brows furrowed in concern.
He had once been the best member of the armed police team, with countless achievements under his belt, and had seen blood and even taken lives. Such a man, even if a woman, wouldn’t have a temperament that was easy to deal with.
Under her questioning, Qin Yu was somewhat vague, feeling embarrassed to speak about it, which made Xia Lei so angry that she didn’t want to deal with him.
However, when she watched her husband, who had once been pampered and enjoyed a comfortable lifestyle, wolfing down the instant food she had brought back and savoring a bottle of cheap liquor he stole from the looted supermarket, her heart softened instantly.
She began to understand how difficult it was for her husband, who was as helpless as a child, to survive in a world where strength was everything, especially since she had learned that her father-in-law had already mutated into a zombie at the moment the apocalypse broke out, leaving her husband without his biggest support.
"Xia Lei, this stuff is really delicious! How come I never noticed it before?" After eating and drinking his fill, Qin Yu lay back on the slightly smelly bed, burping contentedly.
Xia Lei was tidying up the room and replied with a casual "mm," thinking to herself that if her husband had to eat the same meals he had with his squad, he would probably swallow his tongue with how good they were. Imagining her husband in a comical state made Xia Lei involuntarily smile.
Xia Lei was already very beautiful. When she joined the armed police team, it caused quite a stir. Now that she had become a wife, she no longer fought and killed, adding a mature charm to her beauty.
During these days in the apocalypse, following Ye Zhongming's team, she had no worries about food, drink, or clothing, and her clean and fresh appearance made her stand out from the other women in the apocalypse.
Lying on the bed, Qin Yu saw how beautiful his wife was and felt a stir of desire. He suddenly sat up and hugged her from behind.
Xia Lei was startled at first, but then found it amusing and gently asked, "Miss me?"
"Yeah, I missed you to death," Qin Yu replied, and his hands began to wander, taking in her scent and instantly feeling aroused.
But in the next second, he felt a sharp pain in his lower body, and with a cry of "ouch," he let go of Xia Lei and crouched down, covering his private area while wailing.
Xia Lei quickly crouched down to check on him but already had a feeling that he had been beaten.
This pain rendered Qin Yu completely listless, and he lay back on the bed, closing his eyes and saying nothing.
For any man, this kind of situation is quite embarrassing.
Just as Xia Lei was about to comfort her husband, the door was suddenly kicked open, and a man in neat outdoor clothing strode in with a grim expression.
"Qin Yu, do you treat my words as farts?!"
After saying this, the man suddenly noticed Xia Lei's presence, his gaze sweeping over her curvaceous body, and when it landed on her face, he immediately showed a look of astonishment.
"Brother Pan..." Qin Yu sprang up like a spring, quickly jogging to the intruding man's side with a flattering smile, "This, this isn't my wife calling me, so I forgot! I... I’ll go wash your clothes right now!"
"What are you doing?" Xia Lei was already dissatisfied with the man's unabashed gaze and grabbed hold of her husband's arm, trying to pull him away.
In the past few days, while staying with Ye Zhongming, Xia Lei had learned to discern evolvers from the man's teachings regarding Mo Ye and the others.
So she immediately realized that this man had already consumed an Evolution Potion and had become an evolver.
But sometimes it’s like this; even though Xia Lei wasn't an evolver yet, she had a bottle of Evolution Potion in her bag, ready to become one at any moment.
