The two who had been lovey–dovey just minutes ago were now locked in a fierce struggle.
What was even more ridiculous was that Jake, a grown man, was completely overpowered by Mia.
It’s worth noting that she was already the weakest fighter in our team.

Mia pinned Jake to the ground with a single move, her fists raining down like hailstones.
“You beast! I gave up so much for you, and this is how you repay me!”
Mia screamed hysterically, venting her hatred with punch after punch.
“Ah! Help!” Jake pathetically shielded his head, his voice tinged with sobs.
“You crazy woman, stop it!”
By the time the soldiers pulled them apart, Jake’s face was bruised and swollen.
The team members couldn’t help but laugh, applauding the spectacle:
“This is the first time I’ve seen such a dog–eat–dog show. Brilliant!”
“Jake had the nerve to say he was useful, but he can’t even beat a woman. Do you think…
he was holding back… or is he really that useless? Haha…”
“I, Jake, swear~ that I will protect you with my life in the future~”
Someone even imitated Jake’s earlier heartfelt promise, mocking him sarcastically.
Seeing that the farce had played out enough, I sighed with feigned reluctance and walked up to the lead soldier:
“Comrade, one more person won’t take up much space. Why don’t we… make an
exception and let them both come? I’ll explain to the higher–ups.”
As the helicopter slowly lifted off, Mia huddled in a corner of the cabin, sobbing uncontrollably.
Her makeup was completely ruined by tears.
Surprisingly, Jake still had the nerve to sidle up and try to talk to her.
He lowered his voice extremely cautiously: “Mia… listen to me, I just now…”
Before he could finish, Mia raised her hand and slapped him hard across the face:

“What is there to explain? Are you trying to deny what you said earlier?!”
“Jake, you… you bastard!”
“No… it’s not what you think,” Jake deliberately glanced in my direction, “I did that to expose Alex’s true colors!”
Hearing this, Mia’s raised arm suddenly stopped.
“What… what do you mean?”
“Mia! Isn’t it obvious? I was just acting earlier! Alex deliberately tried to drive a wedge between us with such a vicious trick. I… I had no choice but to go along with his plan…”
Hearing Jake spout such ridiculous excuses, everyone couldn’t help but laugh.
Even at this point, he still had the audacity to find excuses for his cowardice and selfishness.
What surprised me even more was that Mia actually seemed to waver and believe this clumsy lie.
She suddenly turned to me, her eyes full of anger: “Alex, you’re too despicable! I was wondering why there just happened to be one spot short. It was you… you deliberately wanted to watch Jake and me fight, didn’t you?!”
The cabin instantly erupted in an uproar.
“Did zombies eat your brain or something? You actually believe such nonsense from him?” The deputy commander stared at her in disbelief, eyes wide.
However, Mia was completely bewitched and refused to listen to anyone else.
She gently stroked Jake’s swollen cheek, both remorseful and self–blaming: “Jake, I’m… I’m sorry for misunderstanding you.“”
“I knew… you wouldn’t really abandon me. We grew up together, and you’ve always been so good to me in the past…”

Jake immediately seized the opportunity, pulling her into his arms: “Silly girl, how could I possibly leave you behind? Seeing you so heartbroken earlier, my heart was breaking too.” “Let’s never be apart again, okay?”
Their clingy behavior left everyone speechless.
In all their lives, they had never seen such ridiculous people.
“Alex, you shouldn’t have let them on the helicopter,” the deputy commander lowered his voice, looking at the cuddling couple with utter disgust.
“These two troublemakers have endangered us so many times. Wouldn’t it have been better to let them both feed the zombies? Besides… has Mia ever cared about your feelings as her boyfriend, even once?”
I laughed coldly without saying a word.
Actually, at first, I had indeed planned to let them turn against each other and then throw these two troublemakers to the zombies as food.
But now… my goal clearly hasn’t been achieved yet.
I stared at Mia’s back, a cold light flashing in my eyes.
I want her to see with her own eyes how the childhood friend she desperately tried to protect gradually reveals his true colors.
Let her understand in despair just how stupid she has been…
