Chapter 40 Chloe tried to move away . The leopard just watched her warily , showing no sign of attacking again . She made a break for the exit but the second she moved , a low growl rumbled from the side . A huge shape shot forward , blocking the warehouse door completely . The already dim space went even darker . Chloe frowned , thinking , ' So it won't let me near , won't let me leave , but allow me to grab supplies ? " Chloe glanced over at the guy lying unconscious nearby . Even out cold , he gave off this crazy powerful vibe . She thought . ' Wait .

Is this big furball trying to get me to save its owner ? ' The spotted leopard kept growling , but its eyes were almost pleading . Chloe looked from the stacks of supplies to the guy on the ground . She made up her mind , thinking . ' Whatever . I'll just load everything into my spiritual space first . Back in her previous life , Hevenseale got wrecked - storms , quakes , the whole city swallowed into nothing within six months . Since the city was doomed anyway , Chloe might as well take it all . Half an hour later , she'd swept up every usable thing into her storage . Only junk left behind .

But the leopard hadn't budged . It was blocking the door and staring at Chloe . " Heh , thanks . Here for you , " Chloe said , tossing some food its way . " I'm out of here now ." But the leopard ignored the food . It started pacing restlessly , like it was trying to tell Chloe something but couldn't drop its guard . " You ... don't want me to leave ? " Chloe ventured . To her shock , the beast dipped its giant head and nodded . Chloe jerked back . She pointed at the motionless guy in the shadows , then at herself . " y him , right ? " want me to save The leopard nodded again .

Finally , it crept closer and tugged at Chloe's pant leg with its paw , pulling her toward the man . Honestly , the leopard was totally annoyed . It was a proud mutant beast , noble bloodline and all . Tugging a human's pant leg like this was totally beneath it . But for its master , it would swallow its pride . It felt that if Chloe walked away now , its master wasn't gonna last till the next human showed up . She " Look , I'm not a doctor . I can't help him ," Chloe said , shaking her head . The guy was messed up .

couldn't see his face clearly , but the dangerous energy rolling off him was scarier than the leopard . Even if she wanted to help , and she didn't , she had no idea how . Suddenly she called out . " Hey ! Stop to do . " dragging me . I told you . I don't know what O Om G ||| 16:47 Tue , Jun 2 M Chapter 40 But the leopard wasn't letting go . It clamped down harder , nearly yanking her pants off As Chloe kept refusing , the beast's pleading eyes sharpened into something deadly . It thought , Humans are all liars , except my master . If Master died , no human was leaving this warehouse alive !

The leopard rose to its full height , staring down at Chloe like she was some bug under its paw . The air went heavy , thick with killing intent . Chloe shivered . She kept her cool on the outside , but the hand holding her dagger was trembling , slick with cold sweat . Trying to calm things down and maybe find an opening . Chloe reluctantly walked over to the man . The leopard followed closely , still watching Chloe like a hawk . Then , out of nowhere , it pulled a bag from somewhere , held it in its mouth , and pawed at the ground until two piles spilled out . Chloe's eyes went wide .

" W - What ... is all this ? " Stunned , she watched as the leopard dragged over a huge bundle and dropped it on the floor . The smaller bag was stuffed with more than a dozen level - 2 mutant zombie cores , and the big one was packed with over a hundred regular level - 2 zombie cores . ' Oh my god ! ' Chloe thought , her mind spinning . The leopard nudged the piles toward her . Chloe swallowed , totally dazzled . " So , you're saying that if I save him , all this is mine ? " The leopard nodded . " Deal ! " Adrenaline shot through her veins .

Even after five years in the apocalypse in her previous life , she'd never seen so many cores in one place . She hit the jackpot . Chloe carefully rolled the man onto his back . The man was insanely good - looking . Shawn , the campus heartthrob , wasn't even in the same league . He was tall , likely around six feet three , with sharp , rugge His sword - shaped brows arched toward his temples , eyes shut beneath long lashes . His nose was high and straight , and his body , pure muscle , was as hard as steel , exuding raw power . He was seriously dangerous .

Even unconscious , his presence was overwhelming . Chloe kinda just wanted to run But then she glanced back at those cores . She felt the man look familiar , like she'd seen him somewhere before , but she couldn't place it . Chloe reached for his wrist to check his pulse , and her expression shifted . Not only because he was seriously injured , but also because she could actually sense exactly what was wrong . But she knew nothing about medicine . Feeling something weird , Chloe power was actually sending ou put her and on his wrist again and focused on her own powers .

Her plant out a gentle flow of green energy . " Whoa , this isn't just plant power at all . It's some kind of combo of healing and plant powers , Chloe O OMG 16:47 Tue , Jun 2 M Chapter 40 realized , totally floored . ' I can attack with plant power and heal people at the same time ? I've never even heard of anyone with something like this before . Closing her eyes , Chloe guided the green energy through the man . Wherever it touched , his body slowly began to mend . She fought back the shock bubbling up inside and kept working , searching for hidden injuries , repairing as she went .

Finally , the man on the ground twitched . His eyelids fluttered like he was fighting to wake up A moment later , his fingers moved slightly . Chloe didn't notice that but the leopard behind her did . It felt that the suffocating aura of death around the man was fading , replaced by a flicker of life . Its big eyes blinked , and a single tear slipped out . Comment N AD Send gift admin Olivia Harris is an emerging author celebrated for her captivating romantic and steamy novels.
