Rebirth: City Beseiged By Zombi - Chapter 41

After a while, Shen Chen finally realized what happened after recovering from the huge shock. He coughed and turned his head.

Ye Xiaoyu unconsciously exclaimed, hurriedly covering the most important place of her body with both hands, then buried her flushing cheeks in her knees.

Shen Chen looked down at the smooth floor silently and basically confirmed that the scream was because Ye Xiaoyu fell, not because Ye Xiaoyu was in danger. He shook his head helplessly and thought that he was too nervous.

He was just about to speak but saw Ye Xiaoyu struggling to hold the wall to stand up. The slippery ground and her foot injury made her groan and fall to the ground again.

A gust of wind blew past. The body that suddenly fell was stopped by a strong chest. Shen Chen only felt that what he was holding was very soft and smooth. The girl’s soft body clung to his chest tightly. In a moment, he felt that his lips were as dry as the desert.

Shen Chen didn’t look down at the girl in his arms, because when she fell into his arms, her body had suddenly stiffened and shivered badly. Shen Chen looked at the girl’s face in front of him and couldn’t help but swallow. A feeling like an electric shock came into the palm of his hand. Ye Xiaoyu had such smooth, soft, and glossy skin. Such a woman could make all the men go crazy about her.

They looked into each other’s eyes. There seemed to be a rumble of thunder in their heads that knocked them away. The moment seemed to be an eternity.

Shen Chen was a little confused, and so was Ye Xiaoyu. This kind of feeling was like being able to feel each other. Both their hearts raced uncontrollably, like when meeting one’s first love. The innocent joy and the touch of a fresh breeze on their faces surprised both of them at the same time.

This was a very strange feeling for them, as if they were in a rose garden and the wind had spread the flowers’ fragrance to the world. It was also like green blooming on a cliff. It was the birth of new life.

At that moment, both of them trembled involuntarily. Shen Chen pretended to cough a little, and the two of them recovered from the awkward situation at the same time.

Ye Xiaoyu immediately closed her eyes in shame. ‘Is this love?’ she asked herself.

Suddenly, Ye Xiaoyu exclaimed! Her body suddenly soared into the air. It turned out that Shen Chen had lifted Ye Xiaoyu into his arms.

Ye Xiaoyu quietly observed Shen Chen’s facial features from his lower side. His features were as sharp as a knife, which showed the fortitude of a man.

Ye Xiaoyu’s face grew even redder. She knew that all of her was perfectly present in front of him at this time. Her shyness made her bury her whole head in Shen Chen’s chest. She began to wait for something.

Suddenly, warm water fell. Ye Xiaoyu hurriedly looked up in surprise.

Shen Chen’s eyes were still dark and deep, and she couldn’t figure out what he was thinking about. He smiled at her and said, “The bubbles haven’t been cleaned up yet.”

Ye Xiaoyu blinked. She had no idea what Shen Chen was going to do with her.

Shen Chen closed up the shower curtain and came to the door. “You can finish your shower now.”

“Ah? Ah?” Ye Xiaoyu was confused.

Shen Chen looked at Ye Xiaoyu hiding behind the shower curtain and suddenly felt much better. Ye Xiaoyu was like a kitty in shock. There was a rare slight smile on Shen Chen’s face. He said, “Well, do you want me to go in, or do you just want me to watch you take a bath?” His tone made it sound like he thought this was a hard and serious choice.

“Bah! Get out! Get out! You cad!” Ye Xiaoyu’s voice came from behind the shower curtain. She grumbled coyly. Her voice was a bit shy, though she tried her best not to sound that way.

Suddenly, the ambiguous and charming atmosphere between the two eased a lot. Shen Chen immediately laughed and turned to walk out of the bathroom. “I’ll go out, and you finish your bath!”

“By the way, you can close the door!” Ye Xiaoyu said in low spirits. Somehow, she found herself frustrated and upset.

‘So I’m nothing in his eyes? He’s seen my body, but he is not interested in me at all?’

Ye Xiaoyu checked her breasts. She thought they weren’t bad.

Just when she was thinking this, she heard a quiet voice come through the door. “You have a nice body!”

All of a sudden, two red tides rose in her cheeks, and the redness spread from her cheeks to the corners of her eyes and to her eyebrows.

“Shen Chen, you dirty wolf!” Ye Xiaoyu blurted out, but in her heart, there was a surge of joy that would not dissipate.

Shen Chen dragged his heavy body out of the bathroom and leaned against the bathroom door. For a moment, the emotions hidden in his eyes faded slowly. He listened to the girl in the bathroom calling him dirt. There was a helpless smile on his face. The girl was attractive to him, and he did have feelings for her. It was just that it wasn’t the right time.

The next day, just after dawn, Ye Tianlong came quietly to Shen Chen. Shen Chen looked at Ye Tianlong, who was hesitating to speak. Shen Chen frowned at him, as he didn’t expect that Ye Tianlong would dare to come to him, but he waited for him to speak with patience.

Ye Tianlong looked at the young man. He believed that even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of Shen Chen, it would not change his color. Being so near to Shen Chen, Ye Tianlong was overcome with awe. He swallowed, then said respectfully, “I have something to ask you for your help with. I don’t know if you’ll be interested in lending me a hand.”

Shen Chen’s mouth moved slightly, as if he were thinking about something, but his eyes still seemed ice cold and deadly. He asked, “What is it?”

“We ran out of soy sauce, vinegar, and baby milk for the kids yesterday, so can you please take me to the supermarket to get some stock?” Ye Tianlong looked at Shen Chen expectantly.

Shen Chen pondered slightly and nodded. “Okay.” Then, he looked at Ye Tianlong with a trace of indescribable emotion. “Just you and me?” Shen Chen asked.

Ye Tianlong smiled and said, “We don’t need many things, so just us is okay. If more people go, we won’t be able to take care of all of them. We don’t have many men. We can’t afford to lose anyone.”

There were around forty people, within which a dozen were men. It was told by Ye Tianlong a few days ago that when they went out every day, several men died each day. Apparently, Ye Tianlong wanted to protect them.

Shen Chen shook his head in disapproval. At this time, if they didn’t practice fighting against zombies when the monsters weren’t that strong, these people would only end up being torn up by the zombies after the zombies evolved. But he didn’t say that to Ye Tianlong. He just nodded again and asked, “When do we start?”

Ye Tianlong hesitated for a moment and replied, “As soon as possible. When do you think?”

“All right, let’s go!” Shen Chen said, straightforward, refusing Guo Yuan and Ye Xiaoyu, who wanted to go with them. He pushed the door open. Ye Tianlong followed him with a fire axe in his hands.

Ye Tianlong’s hands were sweating as he watched Shen Chen open the anti-theft door slowly. It was obvious that he was nervous.

Shen Chen looked at him calmly and then walked out of the residential building first. Such a large neighborhood was as quiet as the dead. There weren’t that many residents living in the neighborhood, and now the building looked haunted.

The wind whistled through the dry tree branches, and what came with the wind was the smell of blood and rotten flesh. It was so quiet that Ye Tianlong’s heart began to palpitate. He could sometimes hear the deep and low roar of zombies coming from afar, which was more striking than the sound of cars honking from the past.

Ye Tianlong pointed in front of him and said, “The supermarket is next to the other entrance of the building. It’s about five hundred meters from here.”

There weren’t many zombies around the neighborhood now. Ye Tianlong followed Shen Chen closely, and Shen Chen walked forward by a devious route.

“Why are we going this way through the wall corners and flower beds? There are no zombies nearby,” Ye Tianlong asked in a low voice.

“It’s often the biggest danger when you don’t see the threat with your naked eye, because you never know when the enemy is going to launch an attack against you,” Shen Chen said.
