Rebirth in the Apocalypse: Third Time's a Charm

Chapter 157 157





Liu Yu Zeng took a step back just as Chen Zi Han took a step forward. The two worked in perfect sync to make sure that I was being supported at all times. And considering how weak in the knees Liu Yu Zeng had made me, I was extremely grateful for Chen Zi Han at my back.  Seeing that I was fine, Liu Yu Zeng went back to where his men were standing.

It had been decided that it should be the syndicate members to go out today to gather supplies. We didn't want to show favoritism to the military members of Liu Wei and Wang Chao's team and secondly, because they had less experience with zombies as a whole.  Knowing that Liu Yu Zeng had a much broader, long-range ability than either Liu Wei or Wang Chao, I felt that it was okay to do it this way. After all, Liu Yu Zeng could just take out all of the zombies if things got out of hand.

In my head once again, it took me a second to realize that Liu Wei was standing in front of me, quiet as a shadow. Looking up into his eyes, I saw them slightly soften. "You know, growing up, my brother and I used to compete over every little thing," he said as he pulled me out of Chen Zi Han's arms without even looking at the other man. "And aren't you the most important little thing in our lives right now?" the man in front of me practically purred. "It's my turn to make you moan so loud that the men behind them have to adjust themselves in their pants. But if even one of them has an inappropriate thought about you, I will rip their hearts out and hand it over to you, still beating."

Okay, so apparently I had a huge thing for slightly unhinged men that would offer me bloody body parts, because… yeah…. That was hot.  I let out a loud moan, the man whose arms I was in not even needing to kiss me before I became dripping wet. All he had to do was whisper in my ear and I was ready to melt.  Starting at my ear, he licked and nipped his way up the pulse of my neck to my upturned jawline and lastly my lips.  Still swollen from the assault that they took from Liu Yu Zeng, I couldn't help but groan, lost in that delicate balance of pleasure and pain. My first kiss from that man was everything that I had dreamed about and more. He was the last one of my men to kiss me on the lips and it was well worth the wait.

Liu Wei made his way back down to my neck and I could have sworn that he was about to bite me when Chen Zi Han pulled him away from me.  Startled, I looked back and forth between the two men, worried about what had just happened.  I watched as Chen Zi Han whispered something in Liu Wei's ear and then came a stiff nod from the other man.

Returning back to me, Liu Wei placed another gentle kiss on my lips. "Come back to me," I begged him, trying not to remember what happened the last time that I let him out of my sight.  "Always," he promised and joined his brother.  The two men looked back at me and nodded their heads before they went into the underground parking lot and out into the big wide world.

The team of 10 gathered around the three vehicles that had been topped up for this latest mission. They were all men that had proven themselves to Liu Yu Zeng through their blood, sweat, and tears, and their loyalty to the man was unquestionable and unshaken.  They had turned their back on the Red Dragon Syndicate to follow Liu Yu Zeng to the ends of the world, signing their own death warrant if they should ever wind up in Red Dragon territory again.

"We are hitting up homes," said Liu Yu Zeng taking out a cigarette and lighting it. Feeling the smooth taste of tobacco and mint, he let out a long sigh. "Take everything and anything that you can," he continued as he took another drag. "Concentrate on food first, then clothes, toiletries, knives, anything that could be even remotely useful. Liu Yu Xuan and I will each be taking a team. Ren Rou Xuan, you, He Hai Tao, and the Long brothers will be on my team. The rest will be on Liu Yu Xuan's. If you come across a zombie, cut off its head. Anything else and you are just creating more. Any questions?"

The entire cavern echoed with "No, Sir," as the eight men straightened up and puffed out their chests. Over 200 men followed Liu Yu Zeng to City J, and they were the first eight to be brought out to train. That alone was a huge privilege.  They would not disappoint him and his faith in them.

"Good," he said, throwing the cigarette butt to the ground and stomping out the ember with his booted toe. "Liang Yu Fei, you will be in the white SUV. He Hai Tao, Chai Ju Feng, and the Long brothers, you will take the black SUV. Ren Rou Xuan and Cheung Guang Ting, you will be taking the Shaman ATV. Remember, that is the main vehicle for all of our supplies. If anything happens to them, you can offer your head in return."I think you should take a look at

"Yes, Sir," came the reply, and Liu Yu Zeng grunted in acknowledgment. "Get a move on," he said as he waved his hand in the air as he made his way to the white SUV.  Gone was the joker with the perpetual smile that Li Dai Lu knew and in his place was the cold-blooded syndicate boss. As the mantle of his position fell onto his shoulders, Liu Yu Zeng gently cracked his neck. As much as he loved being able to relax around his woman, to show her a different side of him, this was who he truly was inside.

Getting into the back seat, he lowered the window and allowed his power to flow out of his right hand. Watching it as it flowed through and around his fingers like a bunch of snakes. He didn't turn his head as he heard the other doors open, he knew who it was going to be.  "Apparently you and I have to have a discussion," said Liu Wei as he got into the vehicle beside his brother. Feng Dong Yang took the front passenger seat and Liang Yu Fei got behind the wheel.

Liu Yu Zeng simply raised an eyebrow at his brother in question. "Chen Zi Han seems to think that he can control what can and cannot happen between us and Li Dai Lu. More specifically, between me and Li Dai Lu. He said that you would explain it to me." Liu Wei was chomping at the bit, pissed off that someone had the audacity to stand between him and his Princess. He was willing to share with the others, but under no circumstances was he willing to accept someone butting into his relationship.

"I am sure that you could have been more vague if you tried harder," said Liu Yu Zeng, not at all impressed with his brother beating around the bush. "Just spit it out."

Liu Wei sat there silently, not wanting to talk about what he wanted to do to the girl when she was so soft and pliant in his arms. Still, Chen Zi Han was insistent that he talked to his brother.  "I wanted to bite her," he admitted, not caring about the two men in the front that were pretending to be invisible. Feng Dong Yang because he was uncomfortable and Liang Yu Fei because knowing things he shouldn't was a great way to end up dead. Liu Yu Zeng snapped his head around to glare at his brother. "Did you?" he demanded, almost pulling his brother closer to him to growl in his face. "Did you bite her?"

Liu Wei looked at his brother, a flash of concern on his face. "No. Chen Zi Han stopped me before I could," he admitted. Liu Yu Zeng breathed out a sigh of relief.  "Good," he said, patting the other man's parka back in place and settling in his seat once again. "Good."

"Want to tell me why?" asked Liu Wei, not sure what was going on. But by the reactions from bother Chen Zi Han and Liu Yu Zeng, they seemed to know something that he and Wang Chao did not. And Liu Wei hated that idea.

"Not really," said Liu Yu Zeng staring out the window. He and Chen Zi Han agreed that they would not be sharing that experience until the other men did. But from what they could understand was that biting her, willing to pledge themselves to her for all of eternity, would lead to that dream. It was the only thing that they could work out that they both did. The fact that it would render both them and Li Dai Lu unconscious within a matter of minutes was another matter entirely. He didn't care if Liu Wei bit her, he just couldn't have the other man knocked out while they were on a mission. Thank god Chen Zi Han stopped him before anything happened.

"The only thing I can say is wait until you are in bed." The smirk on his face didn't give anything away, but Liu Wei was able to read between the lines when it came to his brother. "Understood." Was all he said as he too, looked out the window. The darkness was cut through only by the stars in the sky as Liu Wei's thoughts continued to race... and not on the mission in front of him.
