My girlfriend died in the past

Chapter 300: My buddy lost his first kiss today (two in one!)
In the teaching building of Dongfang No. 1 Middle School, An Lan sat in the classroom with her chin propped up.

It's been a long time since I last saw this classroom.

She was in this class at the beginning, and Zhuang Xiao was her deskmate.

But there are only two people here at this moment.

There was another woman besides herself.

Or it would be more appropriate to describe it as a girl.

That’s right, this was Gao Shudie, the girl Zhuang Xiao met last time who drove to rescue them.

At this moment, she was staring at An Lan warily, "Why are you here?"

An Lan crossed her legs and glanced at her leisurely with her beautiful eyes. "I can go wherever I want. The question now is why are you here?"

"Of course I have my own business! The boss said that we should keep out of each other's way! But you actually wanted to kill me just now!" The female Gao Shudie was very dissatisfied, "If it weren't for the interference of those zombies, I'm afraid I would have been injured by you!"

"I have no interest in any of you. Just don't bother me. I warned you not to enter the school, but you can't blame me if you didn't listen."

An Lan crossed her legs and moved them slowly.

She is feeling a little irritable now.

Zhuang Xiao's reaction after answering the phone was beyond her expectations, but also reasonable.

So it must be the real Zhuang Xiao, but she always felt a little uncomfortable.

Because she was used to controlling the rhythm and initiative in her own hands, but now the initiative was in Zhuang Xiao's hands, she always felt uncomfortable.

In addition, for some unknown reason, the zombies that had completely ignored her suddenly began to chase and block her.

Even if she didn't want to stay in school according to Zhuang Xiao's pace, she couldn't, because the outside was completely blocked by zombies.

And when she sat by the window and looked out, she saw more and more zombies rushing towards the school from all directions.

In the school, countless zombies were standing at the bottom of the teaching building, looking up at the upper floors. Their gray eyes were staring at the window where she was without any emotion.

But strangely enough, they did not enter the teaching building.

It looks like it has its own consciousness.

Or like being controlled by something.

Is it Shu Die from this world?

But this shouldn't happen. This has never happened before.

An Lan glanced at the densely packed zombies below. Even though she was determined, she couldn't help but feel a little scared.

"Eight minutes left."

As long as the gravity field is disrupted in eight minutes, these zombies will not be able to stay on the ground. Only then can she take the initiative back into her hands.

And that little girl.

Her gaze lingered for a moment on the face of the girl in front of her, Gao Shudie.

This was also an unexpected situation. The other party also came to the school to explore, but was blocked here.

"Do you want to cooperate temporarily?" An Lan asked tentatively.

It’s a good opportunity to see which side Shu Die is on.

"Cooperation? Temporary cooperation is fine, but long-term cooperation is not." The female Gao Shudie has always been wary of her. "The boss said that you don't recognize your relatives. We have to be careful when we meet you."

"This is interesting." An Lan smiled.

She already knew which side Shu Die was on.

It should be from the Shudie League.

That group of guys has been expanding the sphere of influence of the "Shadow World", and their "boss" is also an old acquaintance - the elderly Shu Die who belongs to the same timeline as her, An Lan.

She didn't know what happened afterwards, but since the other party appeared in the "shadow world", it was obviously not a good thing.

The other party had been in this "shadow world" for an unknown period of time, and An Lan had no idea what her purpose was.

But she would not underestimate that woman.

After all, the other party is not a naive, rich and beautiful girl in her twenties, but a business tycoon who has been in charge of a huge business empire for decades.

That guy has already become a cruel and vicious person.

But An Lan and her have nothing to do with each other. Although they have never met each other in the "shadow world", they have a tacit understanding not to interfere with each other.

After all, the other party should be able to guess what her current situation is.

So even though she didn't know what the other party's purpose was, An Lan felt that at least the two were consistent in the general direction.

After looking at each other for a few times, An Lan suddenly smiled, "You want to find the original Shu Die in this 'shadow world', right?"

The female Gao Shudie's pupils shrank slightly, but she didn't say anything, "So? You want to stop me?"

As she spoke, she took out a short knife from the sheath at her waist, and with her other hand she took out a black pistol.

However, this pistol is completely different from modern pistols. Although it looks like a pistol, its structure appears to be more high-tech.

Or it should be said to be more concise. Unlike a pistol which has a split design, this gun seems to be molded in one piece, and the material seems to be neither metal nor plastic.

But An Lan was very familiar with it.

"Micro high-energy beam individual combat pistol."

A hint of fear flashed across An Lan's phoenix eyes. "I didn't expect you guys would come with this as standard."

This is a weapon developed under the leadership of Gu Shiyue decades later, and was invested and developed by Shu Die.

After decades, Shushi Group has transformed into a large international group integrating technology, military industry and other industries.

Haha. That girl is so lucky. Her "shadow world" actually brought these things here as well.

"It's not standard equipment! Only high-ranking members of the pioneer group can get it! There are only seven people with this gun! Including me, there are only eight of us! I was only temporarily promoted during this deployment!"

The female Gao Shudie pointed the gun at An Lan and said, "You'd better behave yourself!"

An Lan raised her hands and acted like a Frenchman, "Of course."

In that case, there was no need for her to say what she had guessed.

Now she needs a third party to break the deadlock.

And before that.
"Since you didn't find anyone in the school, shouldn't you look for them somewhere else?" An Lan propped her chin up with her hand, as if smiling, "Every ten minutes, those zombies will become stronger. Are you really not considering leaving?"

"Those zombies won't come in with you here." The female Gao Shudie said proudly, "Don't think I don't know that you plan to use me as bait to lure away those zombies! Anyway, time is not long now. I just need to wait until the gravity field is disrupted next time and the zombies' movements are restricted. Then I can go about my business!"

"But then you won't be able to move freely."

An Lan suddenly stood up, and Gao Shudie subconsciously pointed her gun at her, "Where do you want to go?"

"I have my own things to do. I don't have time to waste chatting with little girls."

An Lan left without looking back.

If her guess was correct, the actions of these zombies were most likely related to Zhuang Xiao.

Zhuang Xiao led her to Dongfang No. 1 Middle School, and then rushed into the school as soon as the zombies were free.
Even if the person who could influence these zombies was the original Shu Die from this "shadow world", she had most likely been found by Zhuang Xiao.

Then Zhuang Xiao stopped her and the little girl Shu Die in school, either for some other purpose or just to delay them temporarily.

Or they plan to take them down.

And An Lan knew what these people from the Shudie Alliance were looking for.

In addition to finding Shu Die from this "shadow world", they also have to find the timeline detector.

And in this school, the most likely place to find the timeline detector is only there - in the secret room under the logistics office. And An Lan has a guess.

That is, if these zombies were really under the command of Zhuang Xiao, he would definitely not kill himself.

At least not now.

So what was Zhuang Xiao planning to do by stopping him?

An Lan thought about it from another perspective, and then the corners of her lips kept rising.

"In addition to searching for Shudie in this 'shadow world', you are also looking for the timeline detector, right?"

From this perspective, handsome guy, do you already have some understanding of the "shadow world"?

Otherwise how could you possibly find the most critical timeline detector.

Ok?
An Lan suddenly realized the problem.

"So, handsome, you've gone back in time more than once?"

She was referring to traveling back in time in the "shadow world".

No wonder she always felt strange. Why did Zhuang Xiao say such strange things on the phone? And his subsequent actions were as if Zhuang Xiao knew everything.

Maybe he even knew that he would meet me and the little girl Shu Die this time.

"New information obtained~ It seems that time reversal can also be used in the 'Shadow World'. Then his principle of time reversal is different from mine."

The "Shadow World" is a transit space connecting different "timelines". If she wants to travel between different timelines, she must pass through the "Shadow World".

This also means that the "shadow world" itself should not be affected by time travel.

But now if Zhuang Xiao can really go back in time here
This means that his ability to go back in time is not as simple as she guessed.

“There are still too many unsolved mysteries.”

But the most important thing for her now is what day Zhuang Xiao is in.

Did he survive December 2024, 12?
If it was after that day, it meant her plan must have succeeded!

But if not.
So she needed more clues.

And the timeline detector is a good bargaining chip.

Those zombies blocked her and the little girl in the teaching building, and Zhuang Xiao arranged for them to meet here, which meant that the school must be one of his destinations.

If Zhuang Xiao also wanted to find the timeline detector as she guessed, she would definitely come here.

If she could find that thing first, she would be invincible and could regain the initiative.

Now she had to take a gamble, betting whether those zombies really wouldn't hurt her.

"It's really annoying to risk everything on one throw."

She hates the unknown because it makes her feel insecure.

In her long life, she had only experienced two unexpected events.

The first time was the death of Zhuang Xiao.

The second time was when the physical body went back to the past through a time machine.

Other than that, nothing was beyond her control.

So, are we going to go through this for the third time now?

If her guess was wrong, she would be killed by the zombies as soon as she went out.

All her plans, after countless years of planning and trying, would fail.

Not only her own will, but also the will of Shu Die, Gu Shiyue and others whom she carries will disappear into thin air.

And as for Zhuang Xiao, he will really die.

And even if these zombies are under Zhuang Xiao’s control, what if he doesn’t intend to kill them?

So, you wanna bet? Now?

"That's natural."

An Lan raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and she walked out of the teaching building without any hesitation.

"If it's you, I'm willing to trust you unconditionally."

She was willing to put her life in his hands, relying on her understanding of him.

And when she walked out of the teaching building and saw the zombies retreating subconsciously, the smile on her face became even brighter.

She raised her hand to cover her chest, feeling her heartbeat getting faster and faster and her face getting hot, and she felt genuine happiness.

"Sure enough, I will always be the one who knows you best. And you will always be the Zhuang Xiao in my memory."

So she no longer hesitated and walked towards the administrative building without hesitation.

There was no conversation along the way, and she successfully arrived at the first floor of the administrative building.

Glancing around, An Lan didn't see any signs of other people passing by here.

So she went to the door of the logistics department and tried to push it.

The door is locked.

An Lan took a step back, then tensed her plump thighs under her lady trousers, took a lunge forward, and kicked the door open.

An Lan walked in gracefully, her beautiful eyes swept around, and a hint of nostalgia appeared on her pretty face.

"The furnishings really haven't changed. You're a great tool, but that's all you're worth. But if that's the case, this 'Shadow World' is the timeline that begins with '3'."

The furnishings here were obviously arranged by Xu Guoping.

The only timeline in which he became the head of the Logistics Department is the one starting with "3".

"So in this timeline, Gu Shiyue died in 2012, which means September 9 of that year was the day I gave her the timeline detector. But she didn't see the thing when she died, so it's most likely hidden here."

She came to the metal bookcase in the corner and squatted down, her plump peach-like face forming an exaggerated arc, but no one could appreciate it.

She reached in and unlocked the basement, then walked down with graceful steps.

Fortunately, it wasn't very bright up there, so her eyes didn't take too long to adjust.

But as soon as I came down, I saw four lights lit up in the darkness, four lights emitting faint blue light.

But this circular light is not that dazzling, and it looks very much like an eye?
When An Lan saw clearly what those things were, her expression suddenly changed.

The next moment she felt her mouth being covered, and a broad arm behind her held her firmly in the embrace!
The man covered her mouth with one hand and pinched her throat with the other.

"do not move."

The cochlea felt warm, a voice that I had longed for day and night permeated my heart, and the pleasant scent of pine wood lingered around my nose.

Her stiff body suddenly relaxed, she leaned back in the man's arms, and closed her eyes slowly.

She was too tired. She hadn't felt this sense of security for a long, long time.

"You are so brave, aren't you afraid of death?"

Hearing the man's voice behind her, An Lan smiled slightly, then suddenly turned her head and kissed him.

"Well?!"

In the darkness, feeling the softness on his lips, Zhuang Xiao suddenly opened his eyes wide.
