Chapter 198: The Same Path for Everyone (XII)

The red sun faded, and everyone thought that the end of the world was about to end. A timid man who was trapped at home and unable to go out was leaning on the window, staring at the motionless group of zombies downstairs without blinking, with a strong hope in his eyes.

As time passed, the zombies did not fall to the ground and sleep as he wished. Instead, the moment the sun disappeared over the horizon, they all stood up and looked at the man trapped in the house.

He was stared at by so many pairs of scarlet eyes and subconsciously took a step back.

This step seemed to break a certain balance. The zombies, who were moving stiffly, growled and ran towards him at an extremely fast speed.

The man hurriedly pulled the curtains, trying to block the zombies' sight and gain safety.

Unexpectedly, the zombies behaved contrary to their usual behavior and continued to roar downstairs, while at the same time, ping-pong sounds could be heard in their ears.

The man carefully opened the curtains, but when he saw it, he was so frightened that his face turned pale instantly.

The zombies who were standing helpless downstairs a few days ago suddenly changed their stiffness and climbed up the security window on the first floor with agility, and grabbed the balcony of his house with a snap.

The man screamed in fear and stepped back repeatedly. He hurriedly picked up the kitchen knife and looked at the zombie that climbed onto his balcony in horror.

Crash——

The glass shattered, and at the same time, a man's shrill scream was heard...

The number of unfortunate infected people increased exponentially, and the survivors were also living in dire straits. Food and water infected with the virus entered their bodies, eroding their immune systems bit by bit, and wailing sounds echoed throughout the night sky.

And they, who are living in a corner, are also enduring the changes that come with it.

Jiang Feng didn't know how long he had slept. When he opened his eyes again, the sun had already set.

The dark sky that we could see when we looked up in the past is now suddenly dotted with sparse stars because the factories have come to a standstill.

Like a broken bowl, the light broke through the gap, as if bringing endless hope.

Jiang Feng looked up at the arm around his shoulders, and slid his gaze along the folds of the clothes to the dozing zombie. His eyes moved uncontrollably along the other's straight nose, and finally fell on the two slightly open thin lips.

A faint gasp sounded in the silent car. Jiang Feng did not seem very excited about being alive. Instead, he felt very disappointed. It was a kind of disappointment that came from not fulfilling his long-cherished wish.

Being stared at by such dark eyes, Yu Huo couldn't sleep.

He opened his sleepy eyes, loosened his arms around the other person, and then tested the temperature of the young man's forehead with his fingertips.

At the same time, the worry in his eyes faded away. "How are you now? Are you not in pain anymore?"

Jiang Feng lowered his head and plucked the thread on his shirt cuff, whispering, "It doesn't hurt anymore."

Not only did he not feel any pain, he even felt that his physical fitness had inexplicably improved.

Without the other party's support, he felt uncomfortable with his body hanging in the air. He was forced to sit up straight and keep a distance from the zombies in front of him.

Yu Huo didn't think much about it, but looked at him curiously and asked, "Do you feel any changes in yourself?"

Jiang Feng blinked, his thoughts escaped from regret, and he began to move along the other party's words.

change?

He moved his wrist and spread out his palm. With a splash, a stream of soft water swirled around his fingertips and then turned into crackling lightning in the next second and bounced off between his fingertips.

Behind it, wind, fire, and light green energy slowly floated up and disappeared into the air again as if without any guidance...

It was like a magic trick. Even he himself was shocked by this scene and stared at his fingertips in a daze.

Unexpectedly, the next second, his wrist was suddenly pinched by someone, and the handsome zombie in front of him also stared at his palm curiously, making exclamation sounds.

"Wow~ Apart from anything else, that green one has a purification ability, right?"

As he spoke, he took out the half bottle of mineral water that was left over from last night and pretended to stuff it into Jiang Feng's hand: "Try and see if it can purify me! Yesterday I drank a very bitter taste, it was awful!"

I don't know what went wrong, but the bottle of water didn't fit into the young man's palm as he wished. It fell to the ground with a "pa" sound, and the other person's palm was gently touching his cheek, his eyes dark.

Yu Huo stood there in a daze, raised his head in confusion, and a question flashed in his eyes.

The young man pursed his lips into a straight arc, and his fingertips traced the scar that ran through half of his face inch by inch. There seemed to be a thousand words in his eyes, but he didn't know where to start.

After a long while, the other party's dry voice was squeezed out from his throat with difficulty.

"Am I ugly now?"

Yu Huo scratched his head in confusion: "It's not ugly!"

He was telling the truth, Yu Huo really didn't think it was ugly.

On the contrary, this scar seemed to have destroyed the beauty of his facial features, adding a touch of wild beauty to his fierceness.

But the young man didn't believe it, and even drooped his eyelashes and began to feel sorry for himself.

"You're lying to me. You obviously dislike me."

"...Unjustly, I didn't do it."

"You did!" The hand that was caressing his cheek slipped away, and reached over to easily pinch Yu Huo's wrist. Jiang Feng's expression was stubborn: "I kissed you just now, why did you hide?"

Yu Huo frowned and looked at him like an idiot: "Are you sick? I didn't ask you why you kissed me, but you turned the tables and asked why I was hiding? Are all hooligans so self-righteous these days?"

The angle of rebuttal was so fresh and unique that Jiang Feng was speechless for a moment.

He thought for a moment, then calmly looked into the other person's crimson eyes: "Why... Of course I kissed you because I like you."

Yu Huo: "People have different paths. Your love for me will not end well."

Jiang Feng sneered and fought back, "In the end times, where our future is uncertain, who cares about the outcome?"

As he spoke, his fingertips pressed the zombie's wrist bone dishonestly, slowly moving up along the elbow, and easily slipped into the other's sleeve...

The skin with thin calluses and scars brushed against the inside of Yu Huo's arm. He shuddered at the touch and suddenly pressed down the young man's mischievous hand, his tone revealing a sense of despair.

"If you turn into a zombie, all these superpowers will be gone!"

"I don't care..."

"I care!" Yu Huo interrupted him angrily, "How can you help me purify food and water if you don't have your special ability? Do you know that this half bottle of water almost killed me last night?"

Jiang Feng's mentality collapsed: "...You rejected me just for this bite of food?"

"What do you mean just for a bite to eat? You want to starve me to death!" Yu Huo rolled his eyes and yelled, "Besides, who rejected you? I just don't want to kiss you. If you like me, then keep liking me! Isn't it just a relationship? We can have a relationship without kissing! And kissing doesn't necessarily have to be on the lips, right?"

His rapid-fire barrage caught Jiang Feng off guard. He could only stare at him blankly, not knowing how to react.

Seeing the silly look on his face, Yu Huo raised his hand and hooked it around his neck, pulling him in front of him. Then, under the shocked gaze of the young man, he gently kissed the side of his face. The cool and soft touch went down along the hideous wound, and the touch seemed to penetrate through his skin into every part of his body, making his bones numb.

His thin lips kissed the scar all over, and only left when it reached the chin.

Yu Huo pulled out a wet towel and gently wiped away the traces of his kiss. His cold red eyes, contrary to normal, showed a warm hue. "Whether you have this scar or not, you are the most beautiful one in my eyes. I will not dislike you, nor will I leave you... Don't say such things again in the future."

These few short words made the corners of the young man's eyes turn red again.

Yu Huo reached out and touched the other person's head, picked up the half-empty bottle of mineral water on the ground and handed it forward, his voice gentle and persuasive: "Be good, purify this water."

The young man said "oh" and obediently spread out his palm...
