Crossdressing To Survive An Apocalypse

They all secretly left the room. Yue instructed the girls to return to their room and to meet him by the front gate by tomorrow morning with his bags.

"Do what now. I have to act like I hit you?" Lui whispered once again, hanging by the door.

"Yes, act like a bully. shout that I was your prey and no one must touch me,"

"got it," Lui closed the door behind her. 

He swiftly arranged his makeup a bit, smearing some dust and grime on his face, making it seem like he was hit.

Zou Yue glanced at his refection on the shiny surface of the piano. "Peng Peng, your pupil has become a pro..."

Just thinking about his friend made his heart hurt a bit. "I hope he is okay. What about manager Mu? I heard he moved close by....."

He smeared even a bit more sand on his arms and legs to cover up his flawless skin.

Only after his getup was fully done, he left that room. He hobbled back to the canteen area and sat in a lonely corner. A few of the students looked his way, but none came to help him out.

This was his actual purpose for the ruse he created. First, he wanted to instil fear in the inhabitants that Lui indeed was ability user strong enough to hurt people so that no one will bother them.

Secondly, he wanted to be shown that he was her target so that no one will come close to him.

Yue happily leaned against the wall and slept off.

Little by little, the crowd moved away, leaving only a few students lingering here and there.

He was not able to get much sleep because of their thudding footsteps. He sneakily opened his eyes and peered.

Only one person seemed to be anxiously walking around. He was only able to see a pair of black boots.

Tian Ai pranced around in the large cafeteria. So many students were nearby, but he couldn't get a glimpse of that familiar long haired slender back. 'Where are you Yue... where are you..."

She ran out of the cafeteria into the other buildings.

Hours and hours of searching and searching.... she could not even find a trace of him.

The sun started to rise on the horizon.

"Well, I can start form here," she knocked on the door softly.

"Who is it?" a man's voice came from inside.

"I.. I need help..." she whispered as helplessly as she could.

The door opened swiftly and two young men glanced out. "wow it really is a girl. a pretty one..."

Tian smirked inside. 'Bingo.... found an easy target.' She wiped at her eyes, making it seem red and swollen. "I.. I'm searching for someone. Please help..."

"Year sure..." the men instantly wore their coats and ran out. "Who are you looking for?"

"My brother.... he... he is about your height, with long hair...." she whispered softly.

The men looked at each other. "We don't know of anyone with long hair through. A few were rescued during the scavenging hunt but I only remember a girl,"

Tian's eyes widened slightly. 'Shit, why didn't I realise that. Yue was dressed like a girl. He might be mistaken as a girl,'

"Was she wearing a brown frilly top?" she hurriedly held his shoulders.

"ow... that's too tight...." the man squirmed in her hold.

"Tell me..."

"yes! She was... heard she was pretty good at fighting, too. Darn she was pretty though," the other guy mumbled, scratching his head. "I heard from our friend that she was going to be recruited by An Chen as a part of the scavenging team."

Tian peered at him intently. "so....."

The two guys awkwardly looked her way. "That girl hit one of the three leaders. He is furious and is searching for her."

"What!.... who is he?"

The students suddenly looked at her weirdly. "Who are you and why are you asking such questions?" he proceeded to step back into their room.

Tian swiftly grabbed one by his collar and held a knife to his throat. "Just answer my question.. who is after Yue?"

"T—Tsu Fai... he is the one. Please.. spare me. I didn't do anything," the man lifted his arms.

Tian tossed him into his room. "Both of you better keep mum about this. Or else I will come back and slit your throat." She threateningly glared before closing the door on them.

She walked out of the building in complete rage...

******

Hearing the small rustling sound of people entering the cafeteria, Yue sat up tiredly. His sleep was very disturbed, yet it gave him a lot of energy to continue.

Yue walked out of the cafeteria to the old building to retrieve his bags.

Unknown to him a four people hid in the corners watching him.

"Why is this old man coming in here..... Something doesn't sit right....." Tsu Fai bit his lips anxiously watching.

Just last night he got a report that two of that girls' roommates, Lui and Juda went in there to bully an old man.

It was not a regular occurrence. The two girls never had the habit of bullying.

Tsu Fai got an inkling of a clue that they were planning something, so he waited with a few of his cronies by the building entrance.

The old man walked out with a black leather gag on him.

Tsu Fai's eyes widened. This was the bag that girl was carrying!

"Catch him!!!" he ordered.

The students jumped up from their hiding places and surrounded Yue on all sides.

*****

Yue just raised a brow. "It's mine,"

Three students came forward hesitantly. "Fai... this man is too old. What if we kill him?"

"Just do that then. He looks rabid anyway...." Tsu Fai's greedy eyes only lingered on that bag.

Yue shouldered it and tied the straps tightly. 'Looks like I might have to fight these kids off. Sigh I really hate to fight humans,'

He pulled out a sheathed knife from his boot and held it tightly. The three became even more hesitant.

"Come on, attack him!!!" Tsu Fai growled.

The three charged at him at full speed.

Yue watched keenly at their movement.

Just a small push and that young man went flying back to the door of the old building.

The other two who approached him froze.

"Sorry, but not sorry," Yue punched one on the nose. The man just collapsed like a rag doll.

The one other watched all this and fled the scene.

"It just leaves me with you..." Yue whispered, smirking.

Tsu Fai growled loudly. "Useless....." he rushed his way with his fist raised up high.

The man came close and tried to grab the bag.

Yue dashed back and kicked his face with all his strength.

But surprisingly, that man was able to guard his face with his arms. His kick directly landed on his arms.

A small crunching sound was heard.

"aghhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!" he screamed loudly, holding onto his broken limb. "You dirty bastard!!!!!! I will kill you.. I will kill you!" his fists started to burn with a fiery red flame.

Tsu Fai held it out and the flame just flowed out like a whip.

"shit..." Yue dodged it to the side. The flames followed him.

The cat-and-mouse chase began. He ran, and the fire chased after him.

Suddenly, he smelt a small burning smell. He swiftly glanced back. His wig caught on fire.

He tossed it to the ground and ran for his dear life.

"It's you! You bitch! I will burn you alive today!!!!" he screamed.

The flaming whip elongated and the heat intensified.

Yue felt like he was in an inferno with flame surrounding him in all directions.

He hopelessly watched as the attack came close.

"STOP!!"

Someone grabbed his waist and pulled him into a tight hug, keeping their back to the brunt of the attack. He could only hear that person's thudding heart beat in his ears.

"NO!!!!!!!"
