shadow

The night deepens.

Sang Jiyue was not asleep. She stood by the window and looked towards the gate of the villa. The group of zombies began to bang on the iron gate from time to time, making a dull sound.

Maybe he can really break in.

She took out a small white medicine bottle from the bedside table. There were only a few pills left in it. Considering that the supply might run out later, Sang Jiyue only took two pills and went downstairs.

The living room was very quiet. The pale moonlight cast a shadow on the floor. The mess on the floor during the day had been cleaned up. Sheng Xingzhou was leaning on the sofa, his head nodding, looking as if he was about to fall asleep.

Da Fu curled up at his feet and slept soundly.

Silly dog, no vigilance at all.

Sang Jiyue glanced at Dafu, then looked away and walked into the kitchen with light steps. She took a boning knife and put it on her waist, pulled down the hem of her clothes to cover it, and then poured two glasses of water.

The pills were ground into powder and dissolved in water. Sang Jiyue sat at the bar, looking at Sheng Xingzhou who was still dozing off, quietly waiting for something and not disturbing him.

Sheng Xingzhou, who was extremely sleepy, only vaguely heard some noise beside his ears. He was about to open his eyes when a huge crash suddenly came from outside, which scared him so much that he almost fell off the sofa.

Compared to the sound of collision in the distance, the girl's short laugh reached his ears before he could hear it. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw the girl, enveloped in the soft white light of the bar, sitting quietly on a high stool. Her legs, wrapped in jeans, were slender and straight, and were swaying gently.

She is completely childish and lively, typical of her age.

Dafu was awakened by Sheng Xingzhou's actions. After waking up, he immediately wagged his tail excitedly and went to find Sang Jiyue. Sang Jiyue hooked his chin with his toes and teased him for a while, then jumped off the high stool and walked towards him with water.

Sheng Xingzhou watched Sang Jiyue approach, and his first reaction was alert. He asked, "Why aren't you sleeping?"

"Come down and have some water." Sang Jiyue placed one of the glasses of water in front of Sheng Xingzhou and sat down on the sofa next to him. "Brother, your vigilance isn't high enough. If I had bad intentions, you might have been killed in your sleep by me."

Sheng Xingzhou immediately defended himself: "I didn't fall asleep, I just took a nap."

"Want some water?"

It is true that one feels thirsty when one just wakes up. Sheng Xingzhou was about to pick up the glass of water in front of him, but suddenly he thought of something and reached out to take the glass in front of Sang Jiyue.

Sang Jiyue didn't care. She picked up the glass of water in front of Sheng Xingzhou and took a sip. Seeing the water level in the glass drop, Sheng Xingzhou felt relieved and took a big sip. The glass of water was soon empty.

Sheng Xingzhou wiped the water stains from the corners of his lips with the back of his hand and asked her, "Is your fever gone?"

"It's gone." She held the water cup in her left hand, took another sip, and said to him politely, "Thank you, brother, for the medicine you gave me. It's working very well."

As Sang Jiyue spoke, he picked up the package of compressed biscuits on the table that he hadn't finished eating during the day and started chewing on them in small bites.

Sheng Xingzhou immediately wanted to show his thoughtfulness: "Are you hungry? I'll get you something to eat. Do you like braised beef or spicy beef?"

Sang Jiyue politely declined and kindly shared the biscuits in her hand. The dry biscuits didn't taste good and were choking, but they were very filling and would provide her with enough energy for her subsequent exercise.

"Are you left-handed?" Sheng Xingzhou took a piece, swallowed it in two bites, and then asked her curiously.

Sang Jiyue, who was drinking water with her head tilted back, swallowed the last sip and lowered her left hand holding the glass. She smiled and said, "I guess so. I'm used to it."

"I heard that left-handed people are smarter." In order to get along well with Sang Jiyue, Sheng Xingzhou immediately seized the opportunity to praise her: "It seems to be true."

Sang Jiyue: "..."

This idiot was talking nonsense, she was bored and didn't want to continue such boring topics.

He really had no vigilance at all. The zombies outside had broken through the door and were about to rush in, but he was still here praising her for being smart?

Although this is indeed true.

Sheng Xingzhou didn't notice Sang Jiyue's impatience. After he finished speaking, he suddenly heard the roar of zombies outside getting closer and closer to them.

He suddenly picked up his thoughts that had just been interrupted by Sang Jiyue's laughter. The loud noise in the dark night was obviously the zombies breaking through the iron gate of the villa and rushing in!

The zombies are roaming outside now and will definitely find them soon. If they are surrounded by zombies, they will be finished immediately.

Sheng Xingzhou suddenly felt a surge of crisis, and then he yawned.

"Actually, I'm curious." Sang Jiyue didn't seem to take the impending crisis seriously. She stared at Sheng Xingzhou and asked softly, "Why were you able to be resurrected?"

Sheng Xingzhou didn't expect her to ask about this all of a sudden. He had no way of explaining it to her. He stood up on his weak legs and said seriously, "Now is not the time to talk about this! The zombies outside..."

Before he finished speaking, Sang Jiyue pushed him down on the sofa and looked down at him with her dark eyes, as if she was looking at a dead object.

Sheng Xingzhou was very familiar with this look, because that was how she watched him die today.

He wanted to get up, but his body was weak and waves of fatigue surged into his mind.

"You put drugs in the water?!" Sheng Xingzhou reacted immediately and looked at her in disbelief.

Sang Jiyue originally didn't intend to say much. After all, saying one more word at this time might cause more trouble. But this idiot's wide-open eyes and incredulous expression were really stupid and funny.

She curled her lips, and her soft voice faded away, becoming calm and without any fluctuations: "Yes."

Sheng Xingzhou: "But I clearly..."

"Both." Sang Jiyue knew what this idiot was going to ask without even having to listen. She pulled out the boning knife and pressed it against Sheng Xingzhou's neck, stopping his struggles. She continued, "But that dose won't work on me."

Sheng Xingzhou felt the chill on his neck and immediately stopped moving.

The zombies outside had already smelled the odor here and were getting closer, banging the closed door loudly.

Sheng Xingzhou was anxious, but Sang Jiyue was not affected. She lifted his shirt expressionlessly and stared at his chest which had no wounds at all.

Even if it heals quickly, it shouldn't leave no scars at all. Who is he?

Sang Jiyue poked his heart with the handle of the knife with an expressionless face to confirm that the fair skin was indeed intact.

Sheng Xingzhou's face flushed red. He didn't even care about the zombies banging on the door and shouted, "What are you doing?"

Sang Jiyue didn't expect him to react so strongly. Something occurred to her, and her voice became strangely gentler: "Don't be afraid, you haven't done anything to me, and I won't rape you."

Sheng Xingzhou: “…”

Is this really something she should say at her age?

Sang Jiyue considerately helped him put down his shirt, covering himself completely: "Don't worry, I'm not interested in you."

Sheng Xingzhou's expression was both embarrassed and resentful. The owner of this body really didn't have an attractive figure. All the beautiful muscles he had worked so hard to build up in the past were wasted, and now they were all taken advantage of by the male supporting actor who had the same name as him.

But this is only temporary! He's going to be something special.

Sang Jiyue felt that Sheng Xingzhou's expression was a little strange, and she was a little puzzled, but this was not her concern. She put the boning knife back to Sheng Xingzhou's neck and said in a cold voice: "If you don't say anything, I will do the experiment myself."

"ah?"

Sang Jiyue was somewhat helpless: "Brother, is it that hard to guess? I want to cut off your head and see if you can still live without it."

Sheng Xingzhou: "Stop! Help!"

He screamed and began to struggle. He lay there for a while and regained some strength. Sang Jiyue couldn't drop the knife in his hand for a while.

At the same time, the zombies broke open the door and rushed towards them roaring.

Sheng Xingzhou screamed even more miserably: "Sister Yue, look back! They are all zombies! Let's not fight among ourselves, just let me go!"

"Then why are you wasting time struggling?" Sang Jiyue was unmoved. The boning knife fell fiercely, but Sheng Xingzhou held her wrist tightly.

At the same time, the zombies that rushed into the hall fell flat on their faces on the marble floor, but there were so many zombies that when the ones in front fell, the ones behind rushed forward and trampled the zombies on the ground until their intestines were pierced and their stomachs were torn to pieces, and then they fell to the ground again.

The villa was filled with the smell of decay, accompanied by the roar of zombies, like a foreshadowing of death.

Sheng Xingzhou was too late to care about the zombies. The girl in front of him was even scarier than the zombies. In a flash, he remembered that Sang Jiyue's attitude softened during the day because he mentioned her stepbrother Sang Huai. He immediately opened his mouth and tried to persuade her: "I'm Sang Huai's classmate, we're good brothers! Just for your brother's sake-"

Before he even finished speaking, when Sheng Xingzhou called out Sang Huai's name, Sang Jiyue, who had been relatively calm when arguing with him, suddenly screamed and completely lost control.

"Don't mention that termite!!!"

Sheng Xingzhou was stunned for a moment, and felt a sharp pain in the palm of his hand. The boning knife cut his skin, and sticky bright red blood dripped, causing the zombies crawling towards them on the slippery ground to become restless.

At this moment, a zombie grabbed Sang Jiyue's ankle. Sang Jiyue didn't even turn his head. He held the boning knife in his left hand and stabbed the zombie's head. The zombie fell to the ground with convulsions and died on the spot.

Brain matter mixed with black blood splattered all over them. Sheng Xingzhou took this opportunity to push Sang Jiyue out. She leaned back uncontrollably and was about to fall into the zombie's outstretched claws. He quickly pulled her back.

Sheng Xingzhou didn't care about anything else. He rushed out while stepping on the zombies crawling on the ground. He even fell on the ground on the way and almost crawled out of the door in the end.

Even though she almost fell into the zombie swarm, Sang Jiyue remained calm. She pierced the skull of the zombie closest to her and stared at Sheng Xingzhou's back as he disappeared from her sight.

Ignoring the system's voice urging him to go back, Sheng Xingzhou ran until he could taste the taste of rust in his throat. He stopped panting and slumped to the ground. The terrible villa had been left far behind him.

Sheng Xingzhou wiped the wetness on his hands on his clothes and found that it was oil. No wonder the zombies couldn't stand steadily on the marble floor.

It was difficult for him not to control his thoughts and recall the horrific scene just now. The zombies' exploding skulls, the sticky liquid spurting out, and the zombies that could not stand up and could only crawl on the ground, all overlapped to create an extremely terrifying picture.

The next moment, the bloody scene was replaced by the girl's pale and beautiful face, which looked pleasing to the eye.

Sheng Xingzhou collapsed even more and began to tremble uncontrollably. It was obvious that in his mind, Sang Jiyue was a more terrifying existence than zombies, and he was already traumatized.

Qi Si also seemed to be devastated: "There are so many zombies there, and you just left her there alone? Go back and save her."

"No wonder you're called Qisi, you really want me to die!" Sheng Xingzhou cursed angrily, "Sang Jiyue is no weak female supporting role at all. She's a mad dog who bites everyone she sees. Which zombie dares to bite her?! I'm telling you—I'm done! I can't go back! It's better to fight my way through the apocalypse than to stay next to her and get stabbed to death by her!"

Qi Si: "If you don't go back, I'll shock you."

Sheng Xingzhou ignored Qi Si and followed him to the electric shock. He was also a stubborn person. He lay on the ground and was twitching from time to time. His hair was curled and black air came out of his mouth, but he refused to turn back.

Qi Si was so angry that he logged off and ignored him.

Sheng Xingzhou then got up from the ground and walked out without looking back. The zombies around him were attracted into the villa, so he was safe along the way.

When they were about to walk out of Yu Shui Bay, Sheng Xingzhou turned his head to look at Sang Jiyue's house. In the darkness, that area was ablaze with flames, almost lighting up half the sky.

Sang Jiyue lit a fire.

It took Sheng Xingzhou a long while to come back to his senses. He cursed, "She's just looking for death!"
