Chapter 262: Chapter 262: Post-apocalyptic Light Queen VS Space Female Supporting Character (Part 6) Chapter 262: Chapter 262: Post-apocalyptic Light Queen VS Space Female Supporting Character (Part 6) Gu Shengyin thought to herself that Li Shengxi really had been kidnapped by these two people.
She also found it difficult to explain the situation, only vaguely saying, “Anything can happen unexpectedly.”
Luckily, Leng Bingbing didn’t seem to care about it. He casually tossed something to Gu Shengyin—who caught it and saw it was a bag of nicely packed ham.
She was surprised, and Leng Bingbing commented, “Seeing the way you eat compressed biscuits, I’d guess the young miss has never suffered hardship.”
His tone carried a hint of mockery, yet Gu Shengyin didn’t take offense.
She tore open the package, and indeed, it tasted much better than those compressed biscuits. “Thank you,” she said.
Leng Bingbing watched her eat rapidly yet still maintain good manners, a clear sign of innate breeding, deeply etched into her bones.
“I’m just waiting to see this ‘prophecy’ of yours,” he said. “If what you’re saying is true, then this bag of ham is nothing.” If not…
Gu Shengyin could naturally infer the rest of Leng Bingbing’s unfinished remark, but such things do happen unexpectedly, don’t they?
Four days’ time was just about the duration it would take for two people to return to the Imperial Capital Base from here.
One evening, after Gu Shengyin had fallen into a deep sleep, Leng Bingbing gently pressed on a tiny earring on his right earlobe.
“Bingbing?” a deep voice sounded in Leng Bingbing’s ear.
“I’ve told you not to call me that!” the handsome man clenched his teeth in private.
A low chuckle came through, and after a while, the voice said, “What’s the matter? Contacting me at this hour, has something happened?”
“The mission is going smoothly, but there’s been a slight hiccup—I might not be able to return for a while,” Leng Bingbing reported.
The man on the other end’s voice grew heavier. “What happened?”
Leng Bingbing relayed his encounter with Gu Shengyin and her prophecy regarding the Zombie Tide.
There was silence on the other end for a moment before finally saying, “Stay close to her. If what she says is true… do everything in your power to bring her over to our side!”
After disconnecting the communication, Leng Bingbing gave a bitter smile: How could it be easy to poach the young miss from the Li Family of the Imperial Capital Base?
He didn’t notice a faint light dancing gently on a leaf not far behind him.
Even if Leng Bingbing had seen it, he probably would have mistaken it for a firefly. In this post-apocalyptic world, such tiny creatures were hardly found anymore.
Gu Shengyin wasn’t at all surprised that Leng Bingbing would relay this matter to Lei Ting. What she wanted was precisely Lei Ting’s attention.
Far away in the north, a man stood by the window, still pondering the news Leng Bingbing had sent back.
“Li Shengxi, hm? Quite interesting,” he mused. The cold moonlight filtered through the window, casting his resolute and handsome features.
It was as if he were a piece of sculpture meticulously crafted by a master of ancient Greek art, the man’s facial contours hard and strong, and his eagle-like gaze made it clear that once he had his sights on someone, there was no escape.
“What are you doing?” Leng Bingbing asked with some astonishment as he looked at Gu Shengyin, who was sharply dressed.
“Keeping watch,” Gu Shengyin replied with a puzzled glance, quickly catching on to his implication.
“Could it be that you’re afraid I’ll sneak off while you’re asleep?” Gu Shengyin said. “Rest assured, with the strongest Ice Series Special Ability User on Earth as my formidable bodyguard, I wouldn’t dream of casting you aside until we reach back at the Imperial Capital Base.”
