QT: Capture The Villain's Love

Chapter 90: Let's Make A Bet!

This world was bizarre. A human wouldn't be able to become a zombie just by exchanging saliva. But if the zombie were to kill someone, and the body was still intact, the 'dead' person would instantly become a living dead or zombie. 

That means the zombies didn't need to exchange the so-called 'virus' to turn the other person. Even if the human died, the number of zombies could still increase.

That was why the humans, who were alive now, started believing in cremation rather than burying the body underground.

Unfortunately, not everyone was well aware of this fact. After all, it only had been a few weeks ever since the apocalypse started. So they would leave the dead bodies to rot under the sun. And after a while, it would be horrifying to see those dead people turning into zombies and attacking others.

The situation was even worse when friends or relatives would end up turning into a zombie, killing the ones who used to love the living dead.

At this time, the situation was almost the same. A man with jet black and silky hair was crying hysterically after seeing a woman before him turning into a zombie. The gun in the man's hand trembled and fell on the ground with a thud as his legs shook in both fear and emotion. Tears poured out of his eyes.

"Mia, I can't. I really can't kill you. Why did you have to turn into a zombie?"

But the girl before him was already a living dead, who couldn't understand a single word. She growled and walked toward her 'food' step by step as a thread of saliva dripped from the corner of her lips. Just as she was about to attack the man, a shot of electricity came out of nowhere, blasting the zombie girl's brain into pieces.

The black-haired man was so shocked by this that his legs gave up, and he fell to the ground. It took this guy a lot of time before he could gather himself together and got on his feet. He took a deep breath and looked at the dead body of his zombie girlfriend, whose face couldn't even be recognized anymore. Another teardrop escaped his eyes at that.

Hope probably knew what the guy was facing. So she simply patted his shoulders and walked a little further before crouching on the ground.

Tyler and Neil exchanged looks, and both had the same thought. This person before them was one of the essential cannon folders mentioned in the storyline. This person had become the best buddy of the male lead in the story, but later, he separated because of some dispute.

So even though Neil had started OOCing in the current storyline, things still didn't change. They had started to encounter people mentioned in the book already. But then, since the female lead hadn't helped the male lead this time, and there was even a zombie king hiding among them, would things change?

Once again, Tyler got a headache after thinking about this. He still didn't know if, in this world, he would end up dying again or not. So he stopped thinking about it and continued walking forward, ignoring the male lead, who was still trying to flirt with him shamelessly.

After half an hour of shameless flirting, even the man who had just joined the team shook his head and blurted out. "Look at these two. It almost feels like they're walking in a garden rather than fighting zombies."

"See? I told them to be on guard, but they don't listen to me!" The girl complained in annoyance.

Ever since she joined Tyler and Neil, she had seen them occasionally touching each other here and there. They even exchanged a french kiss, for which Hope had to stop and pretend that she didn't exist.

All in all, the two guys' shameless flirting behind her really wasn't something she would want to see, especially while trying to survive.

Just like that, the four of them formed a team and continued on their journey. It was later that they realized that the man with jet black hair didn't have enough power, and no one could explain why. Of course, Tyler and Neil knew the reason behind this phenomenon and pretended to be unaware as Hope discussed this with the third man.

"Gavin, tell me honestly, you're not hiding anything from us, are you?" Hope's eyes narrowed suspiciously as she stared at the man with jet black hair. They had already introduced each other. So she already knew that man's name.

Gavin rolled his eyes and said, "Of course not. Why would I lie to you? This is something I realized just now while talking to you!"

Hope frowned and stopped talking to the guy. Since she couldn't find any reason behind this phenomenon, she decided to ignore this and continue on the road.

Behind them, Tyler and Neil whispered to each other. "Let's make a bet."

Tyler turned to look at the male lead as if the other person was an idiot. Was this the time for making bets?! They were doing a serious job! Why couldn't this guy focus on what was necessary?

Thinking like that, Tyler ignored the person and turned his gaze forward, staring at the scene before his eyes. The cars on the road were scattered. Some of them were broken, while others had half-eaten dead bodies of the humans. And in the middle, Hope and Gavin talked to each other, almost to the point of arguing.

"They won't end up together." The male lead suddenly said, eyeing two people walking in front of him.

Why would the female lead and cannon folder ever get together? Was Neil going mad after going through all these worlds? Still, he was curious about why this person would think like that. So he opened his mouth. "Why?"

The male lead shrugged. "That's not important." Then he smiled sneakily. "What's crucial is what would happen if you lose the bet?"

"Did I agree to make a bet?" Tyler said coldly.

The male lead completely ignored this point and leaned closer to Tyler, almost whispering in the latter's ears. "If they end up together, I'll be at your service. But if I win and they don't end up getting together, you would have no choice but to try those positions you rejected in the previous world."
