There is an artificial lake in the center of S city. The area is lush and beautiful, and it was most lively before the apocalypse.
Now, the place is deserted, with only one or two spots of dried blood occasionally visible.
There are many large trees near the artificial lake, and wild grass and leaves grow wildly, making it a natural summer resort.
Some zombies with blank expressions stood dazedly under the trees, trying to avoid the increasingly scorching sun in the sky.
Only in City S can you see zombies taking shelter from the sun.
Ripples occasionally spread across the lake's surface, moving even without wind.
The zombie, with its blank expression, seemed to be afraid of the lake, cowering and staring at the ground, motionless.
Despite desperately wanting to escape, the lack of any command from a certain aura meant they could only cower in place, trembling.
The lake is fed by a continuous flow of fresh water, and its water is crystal clear.
In the very center of the lake, a black figure lay motionless at the bottom.
The black figure was not breathing, yet ripples spread out due to the overwhelming ferocity emanating from him.
The young man sank into the water, quietly looking at his hands, which were deathly pale, but he could see faint red blood.
His eyes, filled with hostility, closed gently, and scenes from the apocalypse flashed through his mind.
The whole world has abandoned him.
The only light that sustained his beliefs was also killed one day by those damned humans.
She died so suddenly that her body was never found.
Three years before the apocalypse, he longed to become human.
One day in the third year of the apocalypse, he began to feel an extreme hatred for humanity.
He brutally slaughters humans, unleashing all the violent thoughts in his mind, making everyone feel pain. Only by seeing others suffer can he feel any better.
The young man, exuding a fierce aura, lay quietly at the bottom of the lake.
He began to regret it.
He was so despicable; how could he possibly deserve to appear before her?
The lake water began to churn violently in response to his emotions.
The calm lake water seemed to boil, splashing onto the shore and onto the blank-faced low-level zombies.
The lower-level zombies near the lake lay motionless on the ground in fear, as if they had encountered a raging flood.
After a long while, the young man emerged from the lake.
He was still enveloped in a faint aura of malevolence, and there seemed to be solidified black energy around him.
The long, slender hand was facing the sun, and all that could be seen were the increasingly pale fingers.
A shadow crossed the young man's eyes as he strode toward a certain residential area.
This time, I didn't stop when I passed by the entrance of the residential area; I strode inside.
Even though he knew she wasn't there, he still wanted to go in and check.
No one knows how he has managed all these years alone.
His bloodthirsty nature was unleashed to its fullest extent in the third year of the apocalypse.
The omnipotent zombie king was somewhat afraid, afraid that she here would know about his past.
Several months have passed since the apocalypse began, and various resources are on the verge of collapse. Everywhere has been devastated by zombies, and without anyone to maintain it, all neighborhoods have been paralyzed.
The neighborhood the young people entered was very clean, as if it had been specially cleaned.
There wasn't a trace of black blood along the way.
The neighborhood was quiet; there wasn't a single zombie in sight.
There were no zombies, and no people.
Only occasionally do cats and dogs dart out from who-knows-where.
The young man walked step by step, each step heavy. He looked down at his feet, his long eyelashes casting shadows that obscured his face.
The faint aura of menace emanating from him caused the small animals to keep their distance.
Finally, he stood in front of a house.
The front door of this house was very clean, with no signs of being pried open.
The young man stretched out his finger and gently turned the handle.
The door opened.
He glanced at the handle; the lock's internal mechanism was broken.
Upon closer inspection, the door lock had indeed been pried open, but the exterior appeared to have been repaired, making it impossible to tell that the door was broken.
The young man went inside. The living room was tidy, and there wasn't much dust.
The refrigerator is still making a soft whirring sound; it's working.
The young man opened the refrigerator, only to find it empty, covered in a thick layer of frost, creating the impression that the owner was still home.
The young people's eyes were drawn to the family photo on the wall.
The family of six smiled warmly, with Bai Xizhu and Bai Yifan half-squatting on the ground, enjoying a harmonious family time.
The young man's gaze lingered on the handsome face for a long, long time.
ten years.
These ten years have brought him nothing but endless killing.
The young man's fierce gaze softened instantly, and finally, his eyes fell on a solo photograph.
In the photo, a pretty little girl is smiling gently. She is wearing the blue and white school uniform of the No. 1 Middle School in the city. She is thin and has a childlike face.
Behind the little girl is the teaching building of the city's No. 1 Middle School.
The young man slowly approached the photo, looking at the school building behind the little girl.
There was a boy there, also wearing a blue and white school uniform; only his back was visible.
He recognized him at a glance; it was him.
Is it possible for someone not to recognize their own back?
A faint smile appeared on his gloomy face. This small coincidence softened his weathered eyes considerably.
The young man stretched out his long, slender fingers, his gloomy eyes filled with the vicissitudes of life.
He stopped just before his finger touched the photo, not moving it any further.
A long sigh echoed in the quiet room. The sigh was soft, yet it conveyed a profound sense of melancholy.
