Chapter 598 - 9.68 Over My Dead Body!
Lu Yizhou had never relied much on points and system’s store from the start. He preferred to rely on himself first and foremost, a habit that was too hard to change. But now, he was akin to a dying caveman desperately reaching out to touch the ray of sunlight before he breathed his last.
Back in the seventh world, he had almost died from a bullet on his heart. However, he managed to turn the situation around by using the skill ’Time Rewinder’. This time, if he were to rewind time, he would make sure to prevent Yang Tengfei from coming close to Zhao Bolin. He would not give the man any chance to perform tricks!
A flicker of hope reignited in his bloodshot eyes. [666!]
As quickly as it emerged, the strand of hope was immediately doused by 666’s dejected mumbles,
[666: Host, it’s too late... ’Time Rewinder’ can only turn back one minute in time. Host, you...]
There was no need for 666 to say more. Lu Yizhou understood immediately. It was apparent that he had spent more than a minute searching for Zhao Bolin amidst the ruins. Even if he used ’Time Rewinder’, he would not be able to go back to the time before Yang Tengfei threw the grenade. It was a simple calculation which Lu Yizhou should have known before he presented the question to 666, but... Lu Yizhou just did not want to miss even the slightest chance to save his lover. Or to be exact, he was just unwilling to realize how helpless he was right now...
Just a moment ago, he had received the signal from his minions that they had successfully invaded the military basecamp. Everyone had either died or turned into zombies. From now on, the entire world had officially become Lu Yizhou’s. He stood above all, and he bowed before no one.
But... what was the use of it if he could not even save the most important person in his life?
What did it matter if he did not have this person by his side?
