Chapter 40: How to Carry the Apocalypse on Your Back
"Help us load it in the truck," Commander Xu ordered and left without even acknowledging their expressions or caring for their response. He was completely assured that no one dared to defy his order. And he was right. Chen Wei and Liang Zihan immediately started walking to help him out.
What surprised Liora was that even Zhou Yinuo, who looked like a frail doll, also started following them.
Liora immediately stepped forward and caught her wrist, indicating for her not to move. But Zhou Yinuo did not understand her intention and asked aloud, "What happened, Liora?"
"Are you going to lift those heavy boxes?" Liora asked with a raised brow.
Zhou Yinuo nodded at her, and Liora took a deep breath to calm herself.
"Do you think you could even move those boxes?"
Zhou Yinuo’s face flushed with embarrassment, and she started stuttering, "I can... don’t worry. I am not that weak," she murmured.
"I think you have forgotten that you blacked out a few moments ago because of a head injury," Liora reminded her in a slightly sharp tone. "But if you want, you can," Liora said and dropped her wrist in annoyance.
She could not believe why they were like this, always eager to help everyone and so naive. It was almost like they had been brainwashed by the base people to serve them however they wanted in the name of protection.
