Chapter 02
The sun was blazing, and the streets were filled with a strange smell mixed with gasoline, dust, and rubber.
Xue Ling was lying in a pile of zombies with their heads blown off. The stench from these unhygienic fellow zombies kept going into her nose.
But she didn't move, as if she were really dead.
Compared to the fear of her life being threatened, Xue Ling now felt more strongly of embarrassment.
At an unexpected time and place, I unexpectedly ran into my ex-boyfriend whom I hadn’t seen for three years... I wanted to run away!
In a split second, she didn't have time to think about it, and she subconsciously lay down and pretended to be dead, just because she didn't want to face it.
There’s a saying that goes, when you’re at your lowest point, the last person you want to see is your ex-boyfriend.
When she broke up with that damn bastard, she wanted to cut him into pieces and eat him with sauce.
She thought about being proud in the future, she had already become a rich woman, while Wen Jiu was down and out and became a gigolo.
She would not recognize him.
She never expected that reality would be so different from what she had imagined.
At this moment, she was lying disheveled among the zombies, like a piece of garbage. Wen Jiuze was sitting in the car killing zombies like a normal person, and he probably didn't recognize her.
Maybe if she had laid down a little later, she would have been killed by Wen Jiuze's bullet.
Xue Ling was furious, upset and agitated, and just prayed that Wen Jiuze really didn't recognize her.
Pray that they would leave the street quickly so that she could escape quietly while the group was cleaning up the zombies.
She wants to move somewhere else and never come here again.
While his mind was in a state of confusion, the convoy was approaching. Xue Ling heard someone shout in surprise, "Cousin, what are you doing?"
Then there was the sound of footsteps coming straight towards her.
Xue Ling: “…”
She really didn't want to admit that she could tell that the footsteps were from that bastard Wen Jiuze.
The footsteps came closer and stopped beside her.
He was silent for a long moment, seeming to stare at her.
Why? Do you think she looks familiar? Do you recognize her?
Xue Ling lay face down there, feeling her whole body becoming stiffer due to tension.
He had been dead for so long, had been a zombie for three years, his breathing and heartbeat had long since disappeared, but at this moment Xue Ling still felt as if his heart was beating violently.
A hand suddenly touched the back of her head.
Wen Jiuze's palms were very broad and his fingers were long, so he could cover the back of her head with one hand.
The hand fiddled with her messy head, and Xue Ling's fingers twitched unnaturally as if they were electrocuted.
The man squatted beside her and was silent for a moment, then smiled as if talking to himself: "I didn't hit you, why did you fall down?"
Xue Ling blinked slowly, thankful that zombies had no tears.
She didn't know why she suddenly wanted to cry when she heard this guy's voice.
Wen Jiuze, Wen Jiuze, Wen Jiuze, you damn dog!
She suddenly jumped up, like a real mad zombie, and opened her mouth to bite the man next to her.
Any zombie is ferocious and terrifying when attacking a human, and Xue Ling is no exception.
Although she pays attention to maintenance and does not leave herself to the wind and sun like other irrational people, she usually does not go to dirty places and occasionally takes a bath in the rain, but this only makes her look a little better, and she does not die as ugly as other zombies.
Her skin was slightly blue and hard like the other zombies, her eyes were dark red with a layer of haze, and her mouth had zombie fangs.
I must be terrible like this, Xue Ling thought.
She rushed towards Wen Jiuze and thought, if he saw her like this, he might as well kill her.
"Ah! Cousin!"
"Oh my god, be careful, Brother Wen!"
When they saw the zombies suddenly attack, several people in the back screamed.
Xue Ling felt that she was going to die here today, but before she died she must scare Wen Jiuze so much that he would crawl on the ground in fear!
That way she could close her eyes without regrets.
The zombie's eyesight wasn't very good actually, and she was emotionally aroused and her vision was blurry. She was halfway through making a fuss when someone suddenly grabbed her wrist.
Then her eyes began to spin, and before she could react, someone put her hands behind her back and held them tightly.
Wen Jiuze was very strong, and his palms were incredibly hot. Xue Ling couldn't break free. She considered for a moment whether she should turn her head and bite the person behind her, but finally gave up.
Too lazy to do this useless work.
After the initial embarrassment, she gave up and her mood improved.
She is just a zombie now, and zombies know nothing! Kill her if you can!
Seeing Wen Jiuze controlling the zombies that suddenly attacked, Dai Ying trotted over from the car with a silenced rifle in his arms, and said with a lingering fear:
"Cousin, what's going on?"
He was killing zombies in the car just now, but suddenly he jumped off the roof of the car without saying a word.
He casually threw the silenced gun in his hand to him out of the car window and ran straight towards the pile of zombies.
"I was so scared just now, cousin, you didn't react..."
As Dai Ying spoke, she came to her senses. She looked at the zombie in her cousin's hand, and then at his expression.
"Cousin, is this zombie someone you know?"
Otherwise, when encountering zombies in the past, my cousin would solve the problem without saying a word. How could he just control them without taking any action like this?
The short knife that could cut a zombie's neck was still on his waist, but now he showed no intention of unsheathing it.
"Yeah." Wen Jiuze brought Xue Ling back to the convoy.
Everyone else in the team was looking at them, and the team leader Mi Ge was hesitant to speak.
Dai Ying noticed their gazes and wanted to say something to persuade him, but seeing her cousin's calm expression, she did not dare to speak.
"Don't just stand there, go drive." Wen Jiuze said.
He opened the car door, threw Xue Ling in, and got in himself. Seeing this, Dai Ying quickly opened the driver's door and continued driving.
This car belonged to Wen Jiuze. Usually Dai Ying was in charge of driving, while he would sit in the back seat with his arms folded to rest, or sit on the roof of the car to clean up the zombies.
There was a zombie in the car, and any normal person would be nervous. Furthermore, her cousin looked normal yet abnormal. Dai Ying drove absent-mindedly, looking back frequently.
Xue Ling didn't expect this development. She remembered her identity as a zombie and yelled twice in the car just to show her feelings. Just as she started to struggle, she was pinned down again.
Wen Jiuze put her arms behind her back, grabbed her with one hand, covered her open mouth with the other hand wearing a leather glove, and pressed her to sit on him.
She sank into his arms, her back pressed tightly against his chest. Xue Ling even forgot to act out the rebellious zombie.
Ah...you? Me? This?
Wen Jiuze's body was always hot, and Xue Ling felt that his palms covering her face were too hot to bear, so she twisted her head to break free, but he grabbed her even harder and pushed her back.
Xue Ling felt his head lean forward and rest on her neck, forming an intimate and complete hug.
He leaned on her shoulder and let out a long breath. Was it a sigh?
This kind of hug was common in the past, but they seemed to have broken up, and most importantly, she is a zombie now!
She is a zombie!
My ex-boyfriend is more abnormal than a zombie. I haven't seen you for a few years. Have you gone crazy?
But if you think about it carefully, Wen Jiuze is not a normal man.
She was feeling the heat from Wen Jiuze and wanted to move away, but suddenly she noticed a dog's head sticking out from the co-pilot's seat.
The big golden retriever sitting in the passenger seat was looking at the two people in the back seat, just like its owner.
Dai Ying in the driver's seat had a look of utter despair, with fear and embarrassment mixed in, she was practically acting like Xue Ling.
The big dog was different. It looked at Xue Ling with its dark, wet eyes, tongue slightly sticking out, and didn't feel that there was anything wrong with the scene before it.
Dai Yingcai remembered that his dog Puff was in the car. Puff was very smart. When encountering zombies, it would make warning sounds. It had protected him when facing a zombie attack. It was a brave big dog that was not afraid of zombies.
Dai Ying wanted to speak up and comfort Puff, asking it to stop barking at the zombies in the car.
But Puff stared at the two people in the back row for a while and only barked twice. These were not the hostile barks he usually made when he saw zombies.
And its big tail was sweeping back and forth on the seat like a feather duster.
This is the reaction you would have when you see someone you know.
Puff's action reminded Dai Ying, and Dai Ying suddenly remembered something. She took a closer look at the zombie in the back seat that was unable to move because of her cousin's grasp.
This seems to be my cousin’s ex-girlfriend!
It was several years ago. He was only fourteen or fifteen years old at that time. He can't remember it clearly.
It was during that time when his cousin, who was attending college near his home, often went there to help him walk the dog, that his cousin said his girlfriend loved dogs and he wanted to take Puff along to play with her.
He had only met his cousin’s girlfriend twice... That must be her!
He remembered that this sister seemed to be a native of Yu City like him, so how did she come to Anxi City, which is so far away?
Xue Ling, who was sitting in the back row, didn't notice her little cousin's expression. When she saw the golden-haired head appear, she subconsciously leaned back.
It's a dog! A very familiar looking dog!
She remembered the dog because it chased her for half a month, scaring her so much that she ran for her life every day, leaving her with some psychological trauma.
That was about four years ago.
She and Wen Jiuze had just confirmed their relationship. She couldn't remember why she wanted to exercise, so she invited Wen Jiuze to go for a night run in the evening.
But exercise is harder to stick to than studying. She would be out of breath and say she couldn't go on before running a block. She wanted to give up the next day and was reluctant to go out.
Wen Jiuze smiled and told her he would think of a solution, and persuaded her to leave.
They had not been running on the street for a while when a big golden dog came out from somewhere and barked at her fiercely.
Xue Ling was not afraid of dogs before, but when such a big dog ran towards her fiercely and kept barking at her, her first reaction was to run away.
She was running in front and the dog was chasing her from behind. She was so scared that she shouted for Wen Jiuze. Wen Jiuze ran in front of her with a smile on his face, sometimes even running backwards, with no intention of helping her at all.
He only occasionally reminded her: "The dog is about to catch up and bite your butt!"
She could only run for her life while scolding him, and she showed great willpower when being chased by the dog.
When she returned home exhausted, Wen Jiuze caught her fist and comforted her by saying that encountering such a ferocious big dog was an accident and they would take a different route and run slowly tomorrow.
Then, on another road, they met the ferocious golden retriever again.
The moment his eyes met hers, the big golden retriever started chasing her.
…
After half a month of being chased by the dog from time to time, Xue Ling finally discovered that the big dog belonged to Wen Jiuze's cousin, who took the dog out to chase her every night.
The acting is really good, both the human and the dog, and they pretend to be really real. If she hadn't seen this man leading the big golden retriever and feeding it food, praising it for its good work, Xue Ling would still be kept in the dark.
After such a long time, when Xue Ling thinks about this incident, his teeth and hands are still itching, and he wants to punch Wen Jiuze's smiling face.
Are you human? Huh? Are you human?!
There is no good thing about a smiling man!
Xue Ling squeezed back with a distorted expression, and Wen Jiuze suddenly smiled while hugging her.
"I've turned into a zombie, so why would I still be afraid?"
