Bai Xizhu's voice was like a spring breeze, blowing into his heart.
Leng Yebai slowly raised his head and looked straight into Bai Xizhu's dark eyes.
Those dark eyes seemed to hold the stars.
He saw not a trace of disdain in those eyes, only the joy of a long-awaited reunion.
In Bai Xizhu's eyes, no matter what Leng Yebai becomes, he is still himself.
Leng Yebai subconsciously reached out, wanting to ruffle Bai Xizhu's hair, just like before.
The rotting finger had barely been raised when it immediately retracted.
Bai Xizhu boldly approached Leng Yebai, took his hand without hesitation, and patted his head.
Leng Yebai opened his mouth, but said nothing.
"Let's go! My dad and the others have been looking for you for a long time and they're very worried about you."
Bai Xizhu pulled Leng Yebai's hand and started to walk outside.
Leng Yebai paused slightly, then followed Bai Xizhu step by step, lowering his head again.
He's really embarrassed to appear in front of the Bai family now, looking like this.
The Bai family's reputation as doting fathers is well-deserved.
Can they really accept themselves as they are now?
They were willing to accept him because he was Xiaozhu's boyfriend.
Can they really accept being with Xiaozhu now, even though they are past their prime?
Leng Yebai was a little uneasy, even more so than when he first went to Xiao Zhu's house.
A rotten, blackened finger was being pulled by a fair, slender hand.
Leng Yebai was a little afraid to go out and meet people. He wanted to break free from Xiao Zhu's hand, but he couldn't bear to.
In the past few days, the zombie virus has ravaged him beyond recognition.
He wasn't afraid of pain, but he was afraid of never being able to return to human form.
The sweet wood that Zhang Yiming possessed, which was said to be able to transform people, was indeed tempting.
If anyone else had Ganmu that could transform into a human, he would kill as many people as he could to steal it back.
The only thing he couldn't take from Zhang Yiming was his possessions.
Zhang Yiming has done so much for Xiaozhu, and although Leng Yebai dislikes him, he knows it in his heart.
He couldn't selfishly take Zhang Yiming's things.
Otherwise, if he wanted to kill Zhang Yiming in the future, he wouldn't be able to do it.
The sun shone on Bai Xizhu and Leng Yebai. Leng Yebai subconsciously stretched out his rotting fingers to shield his eyes from the sun, but he didn't feel any glare.
He stayed in his room most of the time and rarely came out; the sun seemed to be a novelty to him.
Leng Yebai stared straight at the sun, then looked at Bai Xizhu, his eyes deepening.
He still didn't try hard enough.
To this day, no one has a presentable appearance like Zhang Yiming.
The walk to the next door was short, but it felt like an eternity to Leng Yebai.
It was Bai Yifan who first noticed Leng Yebai behind Bai Xizhu.
"Brother Leng?" Bai Yifan was taken aback for a moment, then a surprised smile appeared on his face. "Brother Zhang is really amazing, he found you so quickly!"
Bai Yifan ran to Leng Yebai in a few steps and, without any hesitation, gave Leng Yebai a generous hug.
If it weren't for Leng Yebai, he and his father would have been the ones to fall victim.
Bai Yifan was extremely grateful to Leng Yebai for saving them.
How could she possibly despise Leng Yebai, who had become a zombie as a result?
Bai Yifan's voice startled the Bai family members inside the house.
At a glance, the Bai family members spotted the tall, imposing man behind Bai Xizhu.
Apart from his height remaining the same, his appearance and demeanor have changed.
Leng Yebai stood somewhat awkwardly behind Bai Xizhu, his head slightly lowered.
Bai Xizhu's petite figure couldn't hide his body, and the Bai family could still see him clearly.
"Little Leng! Welcome home!"
Bai Anhai strode over to Leng Yebai's side and gently patted Leng Yebai's shoulder.
In the apocalypse, a home cannot be defined by a single house.
Home is wherever your family is.
"Xiao Leng, where have you been these past few days? We've been looking for you for days!"
"Zhang Yiming is really resourceful; he found you so quickly!"
Everyone wore smiles, but their eyes secretly reddened.
The fact that Leng Yebai has become like this is a scenario they had long anticipated.
Even though we were mentally prepared, we still teared up when we saw it with our own eyes.
Leng Yebai was pushed into the house by Bai Xizhu. Some of the things that Leng Yebai usually liked to eat were placed on the table in the house.
Leng Yebai firmly holds the center position.
Leng Yebai looked at the crowd in front of him, his eyes slightly stinging.
The rotting fingers rubbed their eyes, but they still stung terribly.
A warm feeling called happiness filled my heart, and my eyes unconsciously blurred.
Leng Yebai rubbed his eyes again with his rotting fingers.
Looking down, Leng Yebai saw a seemingly crystal-clear teardrop on his dark hand.
Is it just my imagination?
Zombies can't have tears.
"Little Leng! Don't forget the way home next time!"
Bai Anhai said with a serious expression.
The Bai family is still quite rational in their treatment of zombies.
After all, we've encountered far too many zombie kings.
Leng Yebai has self-awareness and can absorb crystal cores.
Don't let his current appearance fool you; once he reaches a certain level, he'll revert to his former handsome self.
The Bai family wasn't entirely clear on the line between zombies and humans.
What is clear is that, whether Leng Yebai is human or a zombie, he is their family.
Family members are irreplaceable.
As for whether humans and zombies are different beings, let's talk about that later!
