4713 Never Too Late to Love (120)
“Ahhh! Dad! Daddy! I’m about to be bitten to death!”
“Coming, coming.”
A certain man, who had always been calm in the face of fame and fortune, revealed a trace of panic on his face. On the television screen, a little Lolita controlled by the man immediately rushed to Yueyao’s side and beat up the zombie with a crowbar.
Meanwhile, Yueyao’s burly figure shouted loudly as he hugged his machine gun and hid in a corner, trembling.
!!Occasionally, Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ would watch the father and daughter play this game.
In her impression, the character Yueyao was controlling was very powerful. He was agile and had a military background. He was also the only character in the game who could use a gun. The little Lolita controlled by the Mu Yazhe was an auxiliary character, and her weapon was at most a crowbar.
Back then, when the roles were a.s.signed, Yueyao claimed that she had researched many strategies and announced that she would lead her father into clearing the stage. In the end, she actually relied on the man’s protection despite having the most powerful character in the game.
Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ was flabbergasted. She reached out and poked Yueyao on the shoulder, remarking resentfully, “Don’t you have a gun in your hand? Shoot!”
“Ao ao ao ao ao! Kill it! Kill it!” The man said quietly, “Replenish life points! Replenish life points!”
This was a two-player game. If one of them restored his health, the other enjoyed the same benefit as well.
Yueyao hurriedly opened her bag. Just as she was about to look for a health-restoring tool, the zombie suddenly pounced on her. She was so frightened that she dropped the controller. POW! as the characters on the screen were bitten into a tangled mess, a few blood-red letters gradually appeared.
“YOU ARE DEAD!”
“…” Yueyao was completely dumbfounded. She leaned against her father in a daze and broke out in a cold sweat.
The man was mentally and physically exhausted.
He was using an auxiliary character to fight zombies and had to protect the burly mercenary uncle that Yueyao was controlling at the same time!?
How!
Very!
Exhausting!
And yet…
He looked at his daughter with that ever-doting expression. “Let’s do it again. Daddy will help you clear the level.”
“Sob sob sob… That was so scary…” Yueyao covered her face. “I heard that this stage is the most terrifying part of the entire game. I don’t dare to play anymore!”
Her father suggested, “Why don’t you use the little Lolita and I’ll use the mercenary?”
“No way!” Yueyao was very determined. “I can’t even protect myself when I’m playing the mercenary character. If I took on the little Lolita character, I’d be dead in no time!”
In this game, if a character died, the game would end.
Mu Yazhe a.s.sured her, “Don’t worry, I’ll protect you.”
Yueyao was skeptical. “Really?”
“Yes. You don’t believe Daddy?”
“I do.”
The two of them exchanged controllers tacitly. It was obvious that they were immersed in the exciting game plot. Although it was a little scary, they were still playing happily.
Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ sat silently on the sofa and watched the two of them play. Although her eyes were fixed on the television, in her mind, she could only see the image of Youyou’s disappointed expression and the unconscious Natalia lying on the hospital bed.
Her heart bled. It bled for the two children.
After an unknown period of time, the game was finally completed!
Yueyao excitedly jumped onto the sofa and bounced around.
Her father chided, “Be careful, don’t fall.”
His affection for her was obvious.
Only then did Yueyao obediently sit down. When she saw that her mother was still staring at the television in a daze, she could not help but lean over. “Mommy, what are you thinking about?”
