Chapter 672: Keep Him Safe!
Lu Yizhou’s heart gave a strong lurch. In a flash, he snapped his gaze up and found that Zeke’s state remained unchanged. His golden eyes were still blank and unfocused as though he was seeing something which others could not. However... it was unmistakably Zeke’s hand that was holding onto him! What did it mean? It meant that he was not completely unresponsive! Though they had no idea why he did not react to stimuli, he clearly could discern his surroundings!
Unbridled joy and delight broke through the seams of Lu Yizhou’s heart, softening his hard and cold features. He held Zeke’s hand and just as he was going to say something, there was an alarmed cry from the researcher who was poking his head out to monitor the situation.
"Oh God... look! They are moving again! What do they want to do?!!"
Amidst the vast expanse of snowy lands, the people in black protective gear were especially conspicuous to see. Carrying the cannon on their shoulders, they trudged through the heavy snow, step by step, getting closer and closer to the research institute.
The researchers’ face paled. "O–Oh no... they are trying to barge in here!"
Lu Yizhou’s eyes hardened. He could not delay any longer. Shifting his gaze back to Zeke, Lu Yizhou heaved out another puff of white mist from his lips, then gently dislodged Zeke’s hand from his shirt. "I have to go..." those words had just come out from his mouth when a hint of struggle appeared on Zeke’s otherwise dull eyes. His body started to squirm about in Dr. Feng’s arms.
Dr. Feng’s build was thin and slender. It already took his all just to hold Zeke securely in his arms and when the man suddenly made a fuss, his grip almost slipped, causing Zeke to loosen from his arms.
Fortunately, Lu Yizhou caught him in the nick of time. He stared into his lover’s eyes and found none of the usual twinkle and brightness within. But he knew... Zeke was aware of everything that happened around him. And he was trying to prevent Lu Yizhou from going straight to the enemy line.
"Sweetheart..." Lu Yizhou’s voice gained a tinge of hoarseness, filled with heartache and the reluctance to part. "Stay here. You will be safe with Dr. Feng. I will just go for a while. Just for a while... and I promise to come back as soon as possible, okay?"
