Chapter 266: Gu Shaoze’s Proposal ( 2 )
Hearing Chen Qianfeng’s shout, everyone rushed to the backyard. Zhou Huajian was shocked to see his friend had fainted and been enveloped in a ball of water.
“Qianfeng, what’s wrong with you?” he asked, worry etched on his face.
Fearing something bad had happened, he ran toward him. But just as he was about to reach out, someone said, “You can’t disturb him!”
Startled, Zhou Huajian stopped in his tracks and turned his head. He saw a young man and a young woman standing atop the wall. Recognizing them, he said, “It’s you two.”
Gu Shaoze and Rong Mo’er leapt from the wall and landed lightly in the yard. They walked over to the Phantom Team and stood a few meters away from Chen Qianfeng.
“Why did you stop me?” Zhou Huajian asked.
“Your friend is in the middle of a breakthrough. If you disturb him, the consequences could be dire,” Gu Shaoze said calmly.
“How do you know?” Zhou Huajian pressed.
“Because I have experienced it myself. I recently broke through and became a level-one ability-user,” Gu Shaoze said with a smile.
Surprised by his words, Zhou Huajian said, “Congratulations, Brother!”
“Thank you.”
“So, what should we do now?” Zhou Huajian asked.
This time, Rong Mo’er replied, “All we can do is wait and guard him until the breakthrough is complete.”
After hearing this, the Phantom Team exchanged glances. Zhang Yuan then said, “In that case, Brother Bohai and Sister Jiang will stay here to guard Qianfeng. The rest of you will take turns watching the backyard.”
“Understood,” the members responded in unison.
Once he was done giving instructions, Zhang Yuan turned to Gu Shaoze and said, “Comrade Gu, I didn’t know you and your friend were staying here.”
“We were planning to leave and search for my girlfriend’s family, but because of the zombie horde, we decided to stay and help out,” Gu Shaoze replied.
Zhang Yuan nodded in approval and said, “Comrade Gu, thank you for lending a hand.”
“When friends are in trouble, it’s only natural to help.”
With those words, Gu Shaoze had shifted their relationship from acquaintances to friends.
Zhang Yuan noticed his intention but didn’t refute it. Even in peaceful times, it was rare to meet people willing to help in dangerous situations, let alone in the apocalypse.
Since Gu Shaoze and his friend had no ill intent toward the Phantom Team, it was fine to befriend them. More friends meant more allies.
Zhang Yuan smiled and replied, “Brother Gu, you are right.”
