Chapter 66: The Little Zombie (32)
Hearing what Anna said, Lucas felt like the blood on his body was drained.
“What did you say?!” He pinched Anna’s neck as he really looked like he was going to kill her.
“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have uncuffed the handcuffs” Anna didn’t struggle but just apologized, knowing that what happened was her fault.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
She regretted with everything in her heart, Of she knew this would be the result she wouldn’t have even entered the room earlier today.
Without responding, Lucas suddenly let go of her and ran inside the Base without hesitation.
Getting to his room, he looked around and tried to find her but there is no shadow of Rose around.
At this moment he knew that Anna wasn’t playing with him and was serious.
“Rose!” He turned and called her name but he didn’t get a reply.
“Rose! Stop the joke and come out ok?” He calmed down and tried to speak in a very gentle tone.
But still he didn’t get a reply.
Just as he turned to leave the room in a hurry to find her, He saw Nelly, Jonas and Anna, standing right at the door.
“Where was the last place you took her to?” He walked over to Anna and asked her coldly.
“We were just strolling around the Base but after I was distracted, when I turned to go back to her I couldn’t see her” Anna explain everything that happened with a trembling.
‘Mommy please help me! Woo! I know I’m wrong but this man is really scary ‘ Ann’s couldn’t help but cry out in her heart.
Just as she finished talking, Lucas walked past them and ran over to the place Anna described.
“Rose!” He called her name but didn’t get a response.
“Rose! Where are hiding! You can come out now!” He called her again but he didn’t get an answer.
Nelly and Jonas started searching around trying to see if they could find Rose.
“Before she disappeared, She said something like going to save the world” Anna suddenly spoke as Lucas who was looking around stopped and walked over to her in a large strides.
“What did you say? Say it again!” He ordered her coldly as Ann’s shrank her neck.
“She said something like saving the world, I really don’t know if that is what she went out there to do” Anna really wanted to cry as she responded to him.
Before they could react, Lucas ran out from the base and got into the car.
“Commander!” Nelly and Jonas caller but they couldn’t catch up with him.
They could only get into another car together with Anna ready to go.
“What’s the matter, Why are you guys leaving again?” Mr. Miller came over and asked them just when they were about to drive out.
“Miss Rose might have sacrificed her life to stop the spread of infection. Commander has already gone to look for her, we will get back to you after we find him ” Jonas Explained as Nelly drove out of the base.
“She really went that far…” Mr. Miller sighed but he couldn’t even think of what kind of life his son will live from now on if something really happens to Rose.
“Host you have 10 minutes” AI3 started the countdown as Rose sat down there trying to calm her breathe.
“Do you think he will find her within 10 minutes?” Rose suddenly asked.
“Maybe, maybe not. But Host, Why do you want to see him” AI3 asked him.
“If I leave without saying goodbye, get will hate me and also blame himself. At least I need to pleas with him to live a good life” Rose muttered as coughed out a mouthful of blood.
“You have 8 minutes left”
“You have 7 minutes left”
“You have 5 minutes left”
“Will he really not be able to make it here” Rose felt lost.
She could see that she is slowly losing her breathe
Just as AI3 was counting down, There was a sound of car driving towards here.
“I knew he will make it” A relieved smile appeared on her lips.
Just as the car stopped, Rose could see Lucas blur figure running towards her.
“You have 4 minutes left”
Just as Lucas got to where she is.
“Rose!” He called out and immediately knelt next to her, taking her into his arms.
He saw the blood that leaked from her lips and felt like he is being stabbed by countless knifes.
“You will be ok. Let’s go back to the Base and let the doctor treat you” He tried to hide the trembling of his voice and assured her instead.
“You have 3 minutes left”
Just as Lucas wanted to carry her up, Rose held his hand and stopped him.
“Let’s stay like this for a while ” She smiled weakly at him.
Lucas was just about to nod when he noticed the deep wound on her heart, as blood kept on flowing out.
“No! You have to see the Doctor immediately!” He raised his voice and tried to carry her up again as Rose stopped him again.
A sound of car was heard at the distance but none of them bothered to look.
“I really want to spend this last moment with you! Maybe as a reward for saving the world” She smiled but Lucas wasn’t having any of it.
“You have 2 minutes remaining ”
“No! Who asked you to save the world?! I never gave you the permission to hurt yourself! Why did you do it?! You should have just stayed in the room honestly” Lucas said several words as he felt his heart hurting.
He really didn’t know how to live if something happens to her.
“Don’t cry” Rose felt the wet thing drop on the hand as she was stunned.
No matter how she pictured that it will be, she really didn’t want him to cry.
“Lucas”
“Uhm, I’m here” He hugged her tighter without letting go.
“You have to live well, Eat well, and always be healthy” She said to him.
“Rose”
“No, listen to me”
“Don’t go on hunger strike, Don’t blame yourself. It’s not your fault, it was meant to happen because this is the reason for my existence.” She spoke softly as Anna who was by the side couldn’t help but cry
“No! You promised not to leave. Rose, Stay by my side ok” He touched her face as he pleaded.
“1 minute Remaining”
“I won’t handcuff you again, I won’t imprison you again, I will travel around eith you and eat delicious foods. Let’s get married and stay still we are old. So please don’t leave me” He held her hand and pleaded.
“Uhm, But Don’t blame Anna. She didn’t do anything wrong”
“No, Rose promise me that you won’t leave!”
“Host! You have 30 seconds left
“Lucas, Let’s meet in the next world” Rose suddenly said as she leaned over weakly and kissed his lips.
“Remember to be happy!”
“No Rose! Please stay with me!”
“Count down! 5… 4… 3… 2… 1”
“Mission Completed! Soul Withdrawn” AI3’s voice fell silent after speaking.
Lucas looked at Rose who closed her eyes and was no longer breathing.
“Rose, Don’t be naughty and open your eyes ok.”
“Are you feeling sleepy, I will take you back and allow you to sleep. But to remember to wake up on time.”
“Commander” Jonas suddenly called as Lucas glared at him.
“Shhhh! Don’t be noisy. She has to Sleep so don’t wake her”
Hearing these, Anna couldn’t help but start crying all over again.
Even Nelly and Jonas teared up
