What's wrong with being cold-blooded in the end times? Anyone who messes with my wife will die.

"Wait, if you want to leave here, there are all strengthened monsters outside!"

Wang Sheng stepped forward and said anxiously: "No matter how you deal with the problem, don't say anything about leaving here. At your current level, you will only be killed or transformed by the Soul Devourer if you go out!"

Gu Zhenyan bent over and remained silent, while Gu Nini looked straight into Song Shu's eyes.

"Well - Song Shu, if it really doesn't work, just stab him back." Ren De said.

"..." Ren Fa stepped on his foot speechlessly and looked at Song Shu, "Song Shu, you have to think about it carefully. Instead of expelling them, why not keep them and make amends?"

"You don't need to beg for mercy." Gu Nini said, "This is a matter between her and me. You have no right to interfere."

"I'm not afraid of death, Song Shu. After my parents died, Gu Zhenyan advised me to live well for them." She said to Song Shu seriously, "In the past few years, I can tell you very clearly that I have never let go of my parents' death, and I have never been truly happy again. I am as selfish as most ordinary people."

"Some people love the whole family, but I hate the whole family. This is a mentality that I cannot change. In this apocalyptic world, we all have to face separation and death. So if I really get killed by a weird zombie while surviving outside, I will not regret making this suggestion today."

"You are the leader of this base now, and many people listen to you. So if you propose to expel me, I guess not many people will intercede for me. It doesn't matter. I am not very familiar with the people in other buildings. Anyway, I can't make peace with you now. Maybe after we separate, after a while——"

"Can hatred be let go over time?" Song Shu asked her calmly, "Although I have always wanted to let it go, I may be ashamed to say that I have not let go of my hatred for my original family. Not to mention the hatred caused by your happiness being destroyed by someone else."

"My goal has always been to make the people in the base live as much as possible, as long as possible. So when you say you want to leave, Gu Zhenyan and Yuan Lin will surely follow you. Maybe the rest of the people here will also follow you because they are worried about your safety."

"Do you think I would let this happen?"

Gu Nini lowered her eyes, clenched her fists, and whispered, "So, what do you want?"

"If you want to stab me, or stab me more, you can."

Song Shu looked at the others. Although they all looked reluctant, they seemed to think that this was the most reasonable solution at the moment.

"Then can I assume that you actually want to reconcile with me now?" She asked Gu Nini, "Do you think so? I stabbed you and then forgave you, letting you and Gu Zhenyan continue to stay here, continue to be comrades-in-arms, and protect the community. In fact, it is very normal for you to think this way, because I think so too."

"I almost killed you, so I deserve to be punished." Gu Nini said calmly, "If you are willing to forgive me and allow this crack to disappear, I will never do something like what I did yesterday again, and I will distinguish you from...your father."

"That's indeed a good idea." A black dagger appeared in Song Shu's hand. She turned it at her fingertips and played with it wantonly. Several people's eyes were fixed on the sharp blade.

"Then let's take revenge in kind." Song Shu pointed the handle of the knife at Gu Nini and motioned for her to take it.

Gu Nini's expression seemed to relax a little. Although Gu Zhenyan frowned, he didn't say anything. He just stared at Gu Nini as she took the dagger in her hand and was about to stab her other arm with the handle -

"It's not your arm." Song Shu said.

The blood in Gu Nini's body seemed to be frozen.

She raised her head in a daze, looking at Song Shu's calm face, her heart filled with endless fear and panic.

Because she suddenly realized what Song Shu's intention was——

Song Shu looked at Yuan Lin, who had been standing near the sofa. The tone of his voice was not commanding but rather gentle.

“Even though I almost died, I didn’t care if I actually died.”

"Compared to my injuries, my lover was in more pain. She looked like she was about to lose her life. Seeing her like that, I was also in pain, which was more unbearable than the physical pain."

"So, we should be equally miserable, right?"

Fu Ying, who had been calm all the time, lowered her head slightly and looked at the top of Song Shu's head. She couldn't see Song Shu's expression at the moment, but she could hear a little bit of tremor in his voice.

“……”So, he was considering her feelings?

Fu Ying's sullen expression seemed to soften.

Gu Nini stared at Song Shu blankly. Yuan Lin, who was sitting beside the sofa, understood what Song Shu meant. He bent down and reached out to grab the dagger from Gu Nini's palm!

"Okay," Yuan Lin said calmly, "if this helps you calm down."

"No!" Gu Nini's voice suddenly became sharp. She tightly grasped Yuan Lin's wrist and looked at Song Shu in panic. "You can stab me seven or eight times, I'm willing!"

"It doesn't count if you do it yourself, Yuan Lin." Song Shu's face was extremely calm. "Give the dagger back to her."

Gu Nini's tears welled up in her eyes. Gu Zhenyan rolled up his sleeves and said, "Let me do it, Song Shu. I'm her brother, so it's the same if she stabs me."

"Brother! No--" Gu Nini grabbed Yuan Lin's hand tightly and shook her head desperately at Gu Zhenyan. Such a cold and beautiful woman was now in tears, which made Wang Sheng and others on the side feel even more unbearable.

"Song Shu, it's all my fault!" Gu Nini cried, "I can't do this to her - I shouldn't have hurt you!"

Song Shu just held the thermos cup, lowered his eyes and took another sip of hot water.

"Gu Zhenyan doesn't count, as long as Yuan Lin is involved, I'll give you twenty seconds," she said, "and let bygones be bygones."

"!"

Yuan Lin stuffed the dagger into Gu Nini's hand, grabbed her wrist and pointed the blade at his arm.

"What are you hesitating about? Hurry up!" Yuan Lin said angrily.

However, Gu Nini held the dagger tightly and twisted the blade hard to avoid Yuan Lin's arm!

"No! You might as well just kill me!" she shouted.

Gu Zhenyan's breathing was rising and falling violently. He looked at Song Shu with a pleading look on his face: "Song Shu, is it really necessary to do this?"

"Ten seconds." Song Shu remained unmoved.

"Gu Nini!" Yuan Lin yelled, "I won't hate you if you stab me!"

"But I love you!!!" Gu Nini couldn't stop her tears from flowing down, and she was about to collapse, "I will hate myself to death——!"

"Three seconds." Song Shu said.

"Then just hate me!" Yuan Lin straightened Gu Nini's hand and pointed the blade at his arm.

"I am willing to go to hell with you!"

She gritted her teeth and rammed her arm into the blade!

"No!!!" Gu Nini cried miserably!

“……” Yuan Lin did not feel any pain in her arm. She watched the dagger suddenly disintegrate into black mist.

But before she could react, she was hit hard in front of her. The back of her head hit the hard wall, and she felt a tearing pain in her abdomen!

Yuan Lin slid down from the wall, and her body, which had become limp due to the pain, was hugged by Gu Nini who rushed over.

"Uh..." Yuan Lin looked up and made out the figure standing there from his blurry vision.

Fu Ying stood there, looking down at Yuan Lin who had been punched in the abdomen by her, then turned around and looked at Song Shu.

"It feels good," she said.

Song Shu stared at her in surprise for a few seconds, then lowered his head and drank another sip of hot water, chewed the wolfberries and swallowed them.

"Then... let's let bygones be bygones."
