Aromatic Flesh Chapter 74.3

Bai JunFei was the first one to look away from Gu MingYue, coughing lightly as he pushed his glasses with his hand to hide the fiery lust burning within his eyes.

“MingYue, as you can see, everyone in the team needs to work for their meal, and you…” The corners of his lips were slightly raised and his tone was full of sarcasm, “You are so thin and tender, what can you do for the team?”

Gu MingYue blinked her gorgeous eyes, which were as radiant as glass beads, and looked at the elegant and extraordinary man at a loss, slight embarrassment crawling into her eyes as seconds passed.

“I…I can cook…” Gu MingYue somewhat stuttered as she replied. She initially wanted to say that she had enough abilities to deal with the zombies, but considering how much life energy that would take, and that as of now, the life energy needed for daily activities cannot even be guaranteed, there was no way she would be able to use the fighting skills she had obtained from her last mission.

“Ah, I know! I know what MingYue JieJie can do for us!” An YiZe might look young, but his actual age was actually older than Gu MingYue’s current body. He had a young and innocent baby face, and he was used to pretending to still be tender and young, and it was a norm for him to act dumb o cute in order to take advantage of another.

“What can she do?” Liu RuiCheng whistled nearby, and Gao Jing, who was standing beside him nodded with a controlled but gloomy face, while Su ShaoYan glanced worriedly at the woman in front of him.

“MingYue JieJie can play the role of comforting everyone~~~” An YiZe announced with a bright smile, causing his two pointed canines to be exposed from the corners of his upturned lips.

Obviously, under his deceptive and childish appearance hid a dark and sly heart, as expected of the first man to ‘eat’ Xi Wei in the original plot. 

‘Comforting everyone’, there are naturally many ways to comfort a man, but his words were vague, and the actual execution can only be realized next time by personal means.

Gu MingYue showed a half-understanding smile, this task that they were trying to ‘trick’ her into accepting was in line with her goals.

And as the only woman in the team, Gu MingYue’s responsibilities were casually decided by the male teammates quickly.

In addition to cooking, washing, cleaning and other necessary housekeeping tasks, she would also need to properly put her femininity and gentleness to use to comfort the men after bloody battles in order to prevent them from developing psychological problems under the intensive pressure.

It had been a year since the apocalypse, and everyone here knew that ‘caring for their mental health’ was just a guise, and solving their physical frustrations was the actual urgent goal. However, the men present were more or less unwilling to be the first pioneer to break the conventional bottom line of morality, hence, at this moment, no one was willing to pierce open the last thin layer of truth.

The daily routine of the survivor team now was always to enter cities to scavenge for necessary supplies in the daytime and drive to a sparsely populated area near the city to camp at night. Gu MingYue had stayed on the bus for an entire afternoon and watched how the members of the group used their combination of wind, earth and fire abilities to clear roadblocks, so that the vehicle could run smoothly on the emptied roads.

Their teamwork was perfect, however, the only downside was that it was a little slow.

Though humans received supernatural abilities, there were still limits to the amount of power they could use daily. Excluding the highways that had been emptied by the army in the earlier days of the apocalypse, the roads in many cities were filled with abandoned cars, which were placed in long queues. Also, there might still be some hungry zombies trapped within their own vehicles, so it was usual for a survivor to have his arm pulled unexpectedly into the car and bitten by a zombie.

Furthermore, if the group wanted to collect sufficient supplies, they would need to enter the supermarkets in cities that were densely populated before the apocalypse, because the food bases and material warehouses in the suburbs were already taken over and controlled by the army in the earlier days of the apocalypse.

However, all three of them had almost used up their powers just by driving the car through such a road. If the survivor group was really struggling, why did they not join a survivor base? Gu MingYue sat on the sofa with her chin in her hands as she wondered curiously.

“Ordinary zombies can survive for about three to five years before they start decomposing naturally. However, it was speculated that an evolved zombie’s survival period would be far longer than that. If we join a survivor base, our freedom would be controlled by the upper management level of the base and be forced to accept tasks and assignments. The only upside was that when groups go out on a mission, they would be matched with people with abilities of a similar level based on the difficulty of the mission, but even so, many still lost their lives and never come back.” Su ShaoYuan smiled softly next to Gu MingYue and patiently answered her questions, “But since we are capable of surviving with our own strengths, not joining a survivor base allowed us to live freely without shackles, and also not burden ourselves with other people’s incapabilities.”

Ah, it turned out that she had murmured her question out in words subconsciously.

Su ShaoYuan lingered beside the beautiful woman who was as exquisite as a porcelain doll and stretched out his hand to gently stroke the smooth and silky black hair on her head with eyes filled to the brim with contentment and joy. His hands were extremely warm, and there was no lustful vibe in his stroking actions, just pure appreciation for something as beautiful as an artwork. With soft tender fingertips, he traced the outline of her facial features leisurely, moving slowly and gently over her jade and elegant neck, and defined shoulder blades, before doing down her exposed arm. His touches were slow and lingering, until he finally reached her jaded palm, which he held up like a precious gem and rubbed carefully with his own.

There was an expression of intoxicated satisfaction on his face, and the corners of his pale lips were lightly raised. Gu MingYue’s beautiful and delicate face was reflected in his deep brown pupils, and as he tilted his pale face slightly, he looked somewhat lonely and alluring.

“Y…You, is your body okay?” Gu MingYue felt a little uneasy, however, keeping her job in mind, she did not pull back her hand from his grasp as she asked softly.

Su ShaoYuan’s abilities were of the wind affinity, and he had contributed a lot during the car ride just now. And though his powers were not drained, it was obvious from his pale face that there was not much left in him.

“Nothing to worry about, our healer would restore my powers for me in a bit.” The more he stared at Gu MingYue, the more he’s fond of her. This woman was as exquisite as a world-class artwork, giving him the impulse to explore what was under the thin layer of clothing more, just to see if the body of the art was as intriguing as it seemed to be. As he spoke, he pointed to Bai JunFei, who was using his healing affinity abilities to recover Gao Jing’s earth affinity powers. The two sensed his gaze instantly, glancing back and forth between Su ShaoYuan and GuMingYue,  and gave the man a knowing stare before turning their attention back to the healing session.

Gu MingYue felt as if her body was ‘baptized’ by the men’s gaze. She had caught the message conveyed in their eyes as they glanced at her with ambiguous scrutiny, as if saying: ‘is it about to start now?’

It made her skin, which was covered by nothing but a thin layer of clothing, crawl with a dense layer of goosebumps.

“Ah… So soft, so comfortable……” Su ShaoGuan murmured in a soft sigh as he placed the woman’s tender hand on his face before leaning over, and using his other arm to wrap Gu MingYue’s entire body around his chest.

“Hey, my name is Su ShaoYuan. Please take good care of me, Miss MingYue.”

And under the man’s warm and bright gentle smile, Gu MingYue nodded her head obediently.
