Chapter 18 Maybe I'll Die for Her

The windows in the corridor were open, and although I couldn't see the whole city, I could still see some of it clearly.

Looking at the streets that should have been bustling and lively, they were now covered in blood and zombies wandering around, and there was no living person wandering on the road anymore.

However, within a month, the streets had begun to feel dilapidated. Smashed shops, cars crashing into each other, and all these scenes made Ye Yiyi lose the mood to look out.

Just as I was about to look away, I heard a loud collision in the distance.

Ye Yiyi and Li Shu subconsciously looked towards the source of the sound and saw thick smoke billowing into the sky in the distance.

It appears that the explosion was caused by a residential building.

Ye Yiyi frowned subconsciously.

"This is?"

As a person with special abilities, Li Shu's eyesight is naturally much better than Ye Yiyi's.

"The owner of the house must have committed suicide by lighting the gas."

After hearing this, Ye Yiyi looked at Li Shu in confusion, her eyes full of wonder.

Li Shu found it magical to see Ye Yiyi like this. The magical thing was that Ye Yiyi didn't seem to be living in the end of the world.

Because her eyes always have a faint and distant look, as if she is reading a story.

Although she was in the end of the world, her eyes were as clear and bright as before the end of the world, with a cleanness that seemed to be outside of this world.

It's like the white flowers blooming in the wind among the ruins of the apocalypse.

Beautiful, fragile, yet naive, she is very well protected.

Then thinking of Yang Luoliu's unknown strength, Li Shu seemed to understand something.

This made Li Shu more determined in his inner thoughts, and he turned his head away with a chuckle.

"You've been well protected and have never experienced despair or fear, so you don't understand."

After being reminded by Li Shu, Ye Yiyi finally realized what she had been doing. This was the end of the world.

"If I had no one around me, no special abilities, no food, and no help, I would probably choose this as well."

After hearing this, Ye Yiyi lowered her eyes, because she had just put herself in the other person's shoes and thought about it. If she were in such an environment, she would probably do the same.

It was at this moment that Ye Yiyi suddenly felt a sense of tension as if she was really in the end of the world.

Ye Yiyi didn't even have this feeling when she came out of the villa to find Yang Luoliu.

Because of the system, although I was disgusted by the zombies and vomited all over the floor when I came out, the system's protective shield kept the zombies one meter away from me and isolated the smell, so I didn't feel anything.

When the zombies surrounded the car, I was just frightened by the sudden appearance of the zombies, and then I was killed by Yang Luoliu, so I didn’t feel anything.

For so many times, Ye Yiyi just thought it was a real-life game, except that a real person died in front of her. After hearing what Li Shu said, Ye Yiyi realized it belatedly and felt horrified.

"but."

Li Shu's words brought Ye Yiyi's somewhat scattered thoughts back to normal.

"It could also be that people are fighting for territory. After all, if they just died in despair, there wouldn't be such a big commotion."

After saying that, Li Shu looked at Ye Yiyi seriously.

"Although I don't know what your relationship with Miss Yang is, you have also seen that there is actually no safe place in this world."

Li Shu pointed outside and said, "So, Miss Ye, why don't you stay in our community with Miss Yang? At least our community is clean and there's definitely no such dirty talk."

After hearing what Li Shu said, Ye Yiyi looked at the man in front of her seriously.

The entire corridor was silent for a long time before Ye Yiyi smiled and turned her head away.

"So, Brother Li, have you calculated everything from the moment I went upstairs to get my own food today?"

Li Shu paused, seemingly not understanding why Ye Yiyi asked this, and decided not to hide it anymore.

"How did you find out?"

"There were so many people in the corridor, and I saw people coming and going in the room, but only you and Ayu took out the insulated lunch boxes."

"Ayu looked very exhausted. It's obvious that she doesn't carry such large amounts every day. I also saw someone behind you looking at Ayu nervously. Although it was only for a moment, now I think they were probably worried that Ayu would have an abortion."

"The most important point is that I've seen everyone working together. It doesn't make sense for you two to take so much when some people are clearly free."

"Obviously, you wanted me to take some so that I could see the old man up there. Actually, I didn't think much of it at first. After all, you didn't know I would come up here. Until a moment ago, I was just a little skeptical."

"But I just wanted to agree to stay in the community on behalf of my sister. You must be trying to take advantage of my sympathy."

After hearing what Ye Yiyi said, Li Shu chuckled and leaned relaxedly on the windowsill.

"I won't hide it from you. We all witnessed how much Miss Yang protected you. She risked her life to save you, even after using up a lot of her own superpowers. Do you know how many zombies surrounded you at that time? You have no idea how much food Miss Yang gave you to make you comfortable."

"So you let me see those old people and listen to your miserable experiences just to arouse my sympathy, right?"

After listening to what Ye Yiyi said, Li Shu turned around and looked at Ye Yiyi seriously.

"No, it was only A-Yu who took the insulated box. My intention was indeed to allow you to come up and see the elderly and children. But they do this every day. I couldn't have arranged this explosion either. It was intentional or unintentional. But Miss Ye, it was just such a coincidence. I guess fate has decided that you can stay here."

Perhaps he felt that he had some calculations in mind and spoke again.

"I'm sorry, Miss Ye. If you're unhappy, you can hit me or scold me, but we really need Miss Yang. Although she promised us to help us deal with this group of people before leaving, as you can see, these are the elderly, the weak, women and children. What will we do next time someone misses us? We really can't imagine."

Li Shu became more and more excited as he spoke, and he wanted to come up and grab Ye Yiyi's shoulders.

"Miss Yang values ​​you so much, if you go and persuade her, she will definitely listen to you and stay."

Hearing this, Ye Yiyi frowned and subconsciously took a step back.

Li Shu naturally saw this action and was stunned for a moment. Then he retracted his excited expression and raised his hand to pinch his nose bridge.

"I'm sorry to scare you, but Miss Ye, you really can consider it. The outside world is no safer than here. At least we have cooperated before. What do you think?"

Seeing that Li Shu had calmed down, Ye Yiyi slowly spoke.

"First of all, my sister and I are both individuals. I don't think I have the right to make decisions for her. Secondly, in this apocalyptic world, if you just want to hide behind others for protection, then death is only a matter of time."

After hearing Ye Yiyi's last sentence, Li Shu sneered.

"Miss Ye, that sounds nice. Isn't she also hiding behind Miss Yang for protection?"

Ye Yiyi felt guilty after hearing this. Although she was not protected by Yang Luoliu, she was indeed protected by the system. But Ye Yiyi obviously would not let him slap her in the face.

His face immediately turned cold.

"Although I was protected by my sister, I went out alone to look for her when she left. When I was looking for her, I didn't know what dangers lay ahead. I might even die on the way. But I'm not as afraid as you are."

"Brother Li, you ultimately have to walk the road ahead on your own. Even if you expect your sister to protect you, if one day she fails to do so, will you blame her, or even harbor thoughts of betrayal and harming her?"

Seeing Li Shu's eyes wide open and wanting to refute, Ye Yiyi interrupted him.

"Brother Li, things are unpredictable, especially people's hearts, which are the most difficult to grasp. It's better not to answer so quickly."

After saying that, Ye Yiyi turned her head.

"Okay, I've done my exercise for today, and the scenery isn't anything to see, so I'll be leaving first."

After saying that, Ye Yiyi turned around and left. Li Shu behind her did not say anything to stop her. However, when Ye Yiyi reached the fire door, she turned around and looked at Li Shu.

"Actually, you're wrong. My sister won't listen to me, but I will listen to her unconditionally, so don't waste your time on me."

Ye Yiyi's original intention was to dispel Li Shu's little thoughts and ask him not to come to her so often in the future.

But Li Shu found it funny.

"Listen to her unconditionally, hahahaha. You also said that people's hearts are hard to grasp. She asked you to die for her, will you also listen to her unconditionally?"

Obviously, Ye Yiyi didn't expect Li Shu to ask back. She was stunned for a moment, and then felt a little amused.

"Why not? People's hearts are the hardest to grasp."

After Ye Yiyi finished pretending to be cool, she turned around and left, leaving Li Shu standing there looking at the scenery outside the window, not knowing what he was thinking. However, he left soon after.

Li Wanwan on the rooftop spoke only after hearing the footsteps downstairs fade away.

"I'm sorry Miss Yang, my brother didn't mean it, he..."

Li Wanwan didn't say anything else because Yang Luoliu looked at her coldly.

"This won't happen again."

"Don't worry, Miss Yang. I'll go talk to my brother and make sure it doesn't happen again."

Watching Li Wanwan speak, Yang Luoliu appeared extremely cold, but his heart was not calm.

She listened to every word Ye Yiyi said.

Various emotions were churning inside, making Yang Luoliu unable to calm down.

However, no matter how turbulent his heart was, Yang Luoliu remained calm and arranged the tasks at hand.

"They didn't leave even when it rained a few days ago and are still staying in the building. This proves that they want to fight to the death. They should come to attack us today or tomorrow at the latest."

"We didn't get a complete picture last time. If nothing unexpected happens, they should have fifteen more psychics."

Yang Luoliu was quickly flipping through the distant memories in his mind, but no matter how old the memory was, Yang Luoliu felt as if it had happened yesterday and was clearly remembered in his mind.

"There should be six second-level psychics and nine first-level psychics."

Hearing this, Li Wanwan looked at Yang Luoliu in surprise.

"Miss Yang knows them better than I do. Have they ever offended you?"

Yang Luoliu didn't respond. The group of beasts killed and tortured them, then turned around and stretched out their disgusting hands towards her. If she hadn't agreed on the surface and escaped in a suicidal way when they relaxed, she would have ended up here in her previous life.

Yang Luoliu hated them, but she hated herself even more, the self who couldn't tell right from wrong.

Feeling that the evil spirit and resentment in himself were showing signs of surging again, Yang Luoliu quickly diverted his thoughts, and Ye Yiyi's face flashed through his mind.

Yang Luoliu was really stunned now, and it was Li Wanwan who called Yang Luoliu back to his senses.

Looking at the woman in front of her who never lost her focus, Li Wanwan wondered if she was really pissed off by her brother. No, she had to have a good talk with her brother later.

It’s no wonder Li Wanwan thought this way. Even when Yang Luoliu was distracted, she always had a murderous look on her face. It seemed that she was preparing to kill that person in her heart.

After being interrupted by Li Wanwan, Yang Luoliu stopped thinking about random things and spoke up to interrupt Li Wanwan's random thoughts.

"There are so many of them, they must be divided into two groups, one coming from the rooftop, and the other coming from downstairs."

The reason why Yang Luoliu knew all this was because they did the same thing in their previous life. Although several people died, the third-in-command who made decisions was still alive.

Thinking of that scheming man, Yang Luoliu spoke lightly.

"I'll be guarding the rooftop these few days, and all of you will go guard downstairs."

"No, this is originally our business. How can we let you put yourself in danger? There must be three of us here."

Hearing Li Wanwan's words, Yang Luoliu looked at her calmly and said, "There's only one second-level Wood-type mutant on the opposite side now. With his ability, he can only support three people, including himself, across the rooftop. I can handle it alone. There are still thirteen people downstairs. They can't resist at all."

After hearing this, Li Wanwan no longer insisted. After the two of them discussed countermeasures, Yang Luoliu said that she would guard the rooftop from today on and asked Li Wanwan to go back.

Before leaving, Li Wanwan solemnly told Yang Luoliu in front of her.

"Miss Yang, you were dragged into this by us in the first place. If you really can't hold on, take Miss Ye and leave."

After saying that, she turned and left. Yang Luoliu didn't say anything as he watched her leave.

The weather was good today, and Yang Luoliu leaned against the rooftop, gazing into the distance, not knowing what she was thinking.

At around three or four in the afternoon, Yang Luoliu felt someone coming in and out of the house downstairs. When he heard Li Wanwan's voice, Yang Luoliu no longer cared.

I kept thinking about things until the sun set.

When Ye Yiyi brought the meal over, she saw Yang Luoliu looking into the distance with an indifferent expression and empty eyes, like a soulless doll.

Although she still had that expressionless look on her face, Ye Yiyi could see her sadness in it.

I don’t know why, I just felt like my heart was suddenly stabbed. This sudden emotion made Ye Yiyi herself unclear why.

She was still a little scared at first, but now looking at Yang Luoliu's appearance, Ye Yiyi suddenly felt.

Perhaps Yang Luoliu, who was in front of him with memories before the restart, was not coming back for revenge, but to make amends.

Although there is no evidence yet, Ye Yiyi doesn't know why she feels that way.

Thinking of this, he stepped onto the rooftop.

Yang Luoliu, who was rarely distracted, suddenly came back to her senses and looked over sharply. When she saw that it was Ye Yiyi, her beautiful eyes widened for a moment.

But after a moment, it returned to its original state and turned its head away.

"Just put the food on the side."
