The Zombie is Somewhat Lovely - C116
“Brother Lei, what you said just now was a bit too much.”
Not long after Xu Qin left, Jiang Feiyu and Gao Leng came out from the tent, looking in the direction where Xu Qin’s voice disappeared to, their eyes were filled with worry.
They all knew the reason for Sister Qin’s visit to City X. Along the way, they had stalled for a lot of time due to various things.
Although everyone was worried about the safety of Uncle Ming and Sister Jingjing, it was really too much to criticize them like this.
However, she was still a child after all, and Brother Lei might not listen to what she said.
“I know, but I was just being a little too anxious. Sigh, I hope Xu Qin can understand it.”
Jiang Lei looked at the vast night sky and sighed.
He seemed to have really gone too far.
But if he didn’t say it like that, it was possible that Chen Ming and Jingjing really wouldn’t be able to return.
“But the Sister Qin seems to have gone berserk.”
Jiang Feiyu muttered, they had never seen the Sister Qin scolding their own people, this was the first time.
If one were to say that the Sister Qin was not angry, then the possibility of the entire world not having a Zombies was as low as that of not having a Zombies.
The only response she got was the occasional whooshing sound of the wind.
After a long time, Xu Qin still did not come back.
The few of them could not sit still any longer.
“Has Sister Qin left?”
Gao Leng sat at a corner of the tent, his head lowered as he recalled the scene from before.
“No, Xu Qin isn’t that kind of person.”
Jiang Lei said as if he knew Xu Qin very well.
“The key is that it’s very dangerous to leave at this late hour. We don’t even know the direction of the desert, what if Sister Qin encounters danger?”
~ It is not a question of whether Sister Qin will abandon them, alright? It was just that this desert was too big and dangerous, so she didn’t have anyone to take care of her when she went out alone.
Jiang Feiyu suddenly didn’t want to care about the two anymore, as she sat in a corner alone with his head lowered, not saying a word.
She really wanted to go out and look for him, but she realized that the Sister Qin wasn’t the kind of person who didn’t know how to behave properly. Even if they met with danger, there would be space for emergency response.
She truly had some fear towards this apocalyptic world.
The three of them went to guard a corner, all of them thinking about their own matters.
Xu Qin left the tent and started to walk quickly in the desert. Her feet moved like the wind, leaving behind shallow marks.
The net of energy in her head was also trying to get as far away as possible.
This time, she wasn’t completely confident. She only wanted to do her best, and knowing someone for a bit was a type of fate.
In the middle of a desert, a man and a woman were buried under a thick layer of sand. Only their heads were exposed, making them look like they were on the verge of death.
“Chen Ming, are you hungry?”
Jingjing closed her eyes, feeling the sand that was blown past her face by the gentle breeze, it felt a little itchy, she wanted to reach out to scratch it, but she felt weak all over, she could not even raise her hand.
His body seemed to have been long taken over by the sand, and he was in so much pain that he was numb.
“Yes, I’m hungry.”
Chen Ming’s voice was a little weak, his aged eyes looked up into the night sky, it was pitch black, and he could not see anything. If not for his good eyesight, he would have thought he was blind.
“If you’re hungry, then eat the dirt.”
Jingjing said half jokingly. Before the apocalypse, when there was someone who was really, or pretended to be, poor, they would say that they were poor to the point of eating dirt. But now, they were truly eating dirt.
The corner of Chen Ming’s mouth widened slightly, his face seemed to be stiff, and even his smile could not stretch.
“I kind of want meat.”
Jingjing smacked her lips, as if she was recalling the taste of the meat.
“Creak, creak …”
At this moment, a clear voice came from afar, listening. Chen Ming’s scalp was tingling.
“Didn’t you want to eat meat? “Here comes the meat.”
As Chen Ming spoke, the voice got closer and closer.
“I say, what is it?”
Jingjing could clearly feel the approaching danger, but she did not have much knowledge regarding this either, so she was completely unable to perceive what it was.
“rattlesnake.” Chen Ming asked: How much strength do you have left?
“I don’t have any strength left. I used to want to see lavender in X. But now, I can’t even get through the desert.”
“Don’t give up until the end. The current world is full of unknowns.” Chen Ming heard the rattlesnake’s voice, but his tone was calm.
As he grew older, things became clear.
“I hope that Xu Qin can successfully find her father. I’m afraid we cannot help much longer.”
“It’s already good enough that you don’t have to drag me down.”
While the two of them were talking, the rattlesnake had already approached them and stopped one meter away from them. The rattlesnake’s tail sound was getting louder and louder.
“Only one.” Chen Ming said.
“Kill it. No matter what, I am a dignified level three special ability user. If I die in the hands of this little snake, it would be too embarrassing.”
As Jingjing spoke, the special ability condensed in the center of her palm.
This damned tornado felt like his entire body was falling apart, and even the slightest movement was excruciating.
Just as the rattlesnake opened its big mouth and leapt towards them, the two rolled away. The rattlesnake pounced on empty air.
It did not expect that the two humans that reeked of blood could still move!
At the same time, a sharp icicle and a vine covered with barbs shot toward the snake from both sides.
The snake’s skin was too slippery, and as the vine wrapped around it, it shrunk a little before coming out.
As soon as he came out, he bumped into the incoming icicle.
“Bam!”
The icicle smashed into the rattlesnake’s head and then fell to the ground.
The snake’s head was injured, and a faint smell of blood could be smelled.
“Creak!” “Creak!”
The rattlesnake’s tail issued an even more intense sound, which was somewhat ear-piercing.
Its head was directly aimed at Jingjing, and with a sudden burst of strength, it leapt into the air and pounced towards him like a madman.
“Be careful!” Chen Ming shouted loudly.
Jingjing looked at the snake that was growing larger and larger, and helplessly thought: I’m finished, my heroic name is destroyed just like that.
When the rattlesnake had already come into contact with her pupil, it suddenly fell down again.
The two of them were stunned. What was going on?
Lowering his head, he saw that the rattlesnake was lying motionless. Its body was stiff, as if it was dead?
Jingjing suddenly collapsed, falling right onto the rattlesnake’s body.
All the bones in her body ached. Just by standing there for a while, she was already about to lose her life.
“Fortunately, I didn’t die in the hands of this snake, so my reputation was saved.”
Jingjing sighed in satisfaction before closing her eyes.
“Even if you die by the hands of this snake, your heroic name will still remain. After all, there is only the two of us here.” Chen Ming said.
“You two sure are carefree.”
While the two of them were in a daze, a familiar female voice was heard.
