Apocalypse: My Sweetie Is Tough but Cute

Chapter 86: Chapter 086 I Cannot Just Wait and See

There, just listen, Peng Sanye said, “Tang Zelin is with the border defense regiment in Province B, and that Yuan Xiao is his friend, not a soldier.”

Zhao Kang nodded and said to the guard beside him, “Have all the missing persons been accounted for?”

“They have been.” said the guard.

“Good, old man, find us someone who knows the mountain paths. We’re heading into the mountains to search right away.”

“Alright, alright.”

Suddenly, Su Shu rushed over, “Wait a minute!”

Zhao Kang and Peng Sanye both froze, looking at Su Shu who had suddenly appeared. Zhao Kang, not quite understanding, turned to Peng Sanye. Peng Sanye explained, “Thanks to this girl’s help, we were able to take refuge so quickly, and she also brought the emergency medicine.”

So that was it.

Hearing about Su Shu’s tireless rescue efforts in such a disaster, Zhao Kang couldn’t help but feel a fondness for the young lady before him.

“Miss, may I help you with something?”

“I… I just want to ask about the name… I mean, the name you just mentioned, is it Tang Zelin?”

As she asked, she was extra cautious, as if afraid of having heard or asked incorrectly.

Her heart kept denying it, surely it was a case of mistaken identity, it couldn’t be. Wasn’t he in City C? How could he be here?

Peng Sanye was startled, not understanding why she suddenly asked, but he still answered her question.

“Yes, Xiaotang’s full name is Tang Zelin. I forgot to mention, he and his friend arrived in the village one day ahead of you. That car parked near the entrance of my house was brought by him. Unfortunately, they went into the mountains, otherwise, you could have met him. He is also from Province B, apparently serving in the military in City C,” Sanye said.

Su Shu couldn’t believe it, “He… is missing in the mountains?”

Speaking of this, Peng Sanye’s face showed worry, “They went into the mountain with the village’s Hunting Team. Now we have no idea about their condition, I hope young Tang will be fortunate and safe.”

Su Shu briefly described Tang Zelin’s appearance and after receiving a definite answer, she went silent for a long while.

How could he be here?

How could he possibly be here?!

It’s too dangerous!

Zhao Kang, standing beside her, saw her growing pale and couldn’t help but express his concern, “Miss, are you alright?”

Su Shu lifted her head, her gaze resolute.

“I request to join the search in the mountains with you.”

“What?!”

Everyone around who heard her was stunned. They all knew how dangerous it was to go into the mountains right now. Yet, this young lady, rather than staying put, wanted to set off on a search with them?

“No, it’s too dangerous. You should stay here. We will do our utmost to rescue those inside,” the group captain refused her request.

Su Shu said, “Please let me go with you. I often hike in the woods; I won’t cause you any trouble. I want to search in person.”

Making her wait here for news about Tang Zelin was an agony she could barely endure every second.

The group captain still tried to persuade her to stay, for staying would be safer.

But unfortunately, after mutual persuasions, he reluctantly agreed.

All because Su Shu said something he couldn’t refuse.

“I am his fiancée. I can’t do nothing and just wait here helplessly for news.”

In order to get their agreement to take her into the mountains, she impulsively told a lie.
