Chapter 04
They pretended to be indifferent, but were actually secretly observing his expression.
Wen Jiuze spent some time with them. He was always smiling and never angry. Although he was not very friendly, he didn't seem to have a bad temper*.
But his smile disappeared at this moment, and his sullen look made people feel uneasy.
Feng Wei, who was sitting in the car and being stared at by him, couldn't laugh anymore.
"Come down." Wen Jiuze said.
Feng Wei hurriedly explained: "Don't be angry, Xiao Wen, we are doing this for your own good. It would be very dangerous if you put a zombie in the car..."
"I'll let you down."
"Look, my Zicheng is asleep. He'll get sick if he gets some fresh air. I..."
Wen Jiuze raised his hand and roughly grabbed his collar, dragging him directly out of the car.
Feng Wei's neck was tightened by the collar, his face flushed red, and he screamed breathlessly: "What are you doing? Watch out for the kids!"
Wen Jiuze ignored his shouting, dragged him and his son by force, and threw them both out of the car.
Feng Wei tripped and fell headfirst, screaming and groaning. The little boy was also woken up by the fall and started crying in fear in his father's arms, attracting the attention of everyone in the convoy.
"What's going on?"
"Why is Zicheng crying?"
Wen Jiu ignored the discussion and looked at Dai Ying who was at a loss beside the car: "Where is the person?"
Dai Ying looked at him cautiously: "Cousin, don't be angry."
Sister Lu then ran over and stood in front of Dai Ying, shouting, "We helped you deal with the zombie. Why are you blaming your cousin for a zombie? I think you are a reasonable young person. How can you be so confused!"
Dai Ying knew her cousin better than anyone else present. Seeing his extremely calm expression, the panic in her heart grew more and more severe.
Seeing him reaching for the gun at his waist, he was so scared that he shouted "Cousin" and pulled Sister Lu in front of him back.
There was a gunshot, and the stone under Sister Lu's feet broke. If Dai Ying hadn't pulled her back, her feet would have been shot through.
The flying debris and pebbles hit her legs, and the people around her screamed in fear.
Feng Wei, who fell to the ground, hid far away with the crying child in his arms, not daring to complain again.
Sister Lu, still frightened, turned pale and was dragged back by her husband.
Everyone present looked at Wen Jiuze with horror as he suddenly went berserk.
Wen Jiuze asked Dai Ying coldly, "I ask you, where is the person?"
Dai Ying was also terrified by him. She trembled under his gaze and whispered, "I sent her to the wasteland on the roadside where I was before."
Wen Jiuze said nothing, put away his gun, got into his car, started the car and drove away, no longer paying any attention to these people.
It was getting dark, and the deserted road was overgrown with weeds. Wen Jiu drove along the road, looking around on both sides.
When he arrived at the location Dai Ying mentioned, he stopped the car, turned off the engine, got out and walked into the wasteland to search for any traces of Xue Ling.
Zombies have no consciousness. Unless they are attracted by loud noises or human scents, they will just wander around and won't leave too far in a short period of time.
When it got dark, Wen Jiuze found a haystack.
There lay a dark figure on it.
It was Xue Ling. She didn't see anyone nearby, so she used a stone to rub the straps on her hands for a while. She failed to break the straps, but she did get herself tired.
She quickly gave up and decided to try again tomorrow, and found a thick pile of grass to lie down and rest.
She never thought that Wen Jiuze would come to see her again. It was obvious that no one in his team, including his cousin, wanted her to stay in the team.
She has been taken away, is it possible that Wen Jiuze will come back and take her back?
Even boyfriends and girlfriends haven't reached this point, let alone ex-boyfriends and girlfriends.
In the quiet and dark wilderness, the sound of footsteps on wild grass approached her.
Xue Ling: “…”
The man sat down beside her, and the haystack beside him sank.
The sound of someone lighting a cigarette, and the faint smell of smoke wafting out.
Wen Jiuze didn't say anything. Xue Ling moved her body and turned around, and saw the red glow of the cigarette butt in his mouth. He lowered his head and stared at her with a dark look in his eyes.
He seemed to take two deep puffs of the cigarette, then he opened his hand and pressed his temple with his thumb, muttering to himself, "I almost lost it again."
Xue Ling wanted to ask him what he was thinking, but unfortunately zombies couldn't speak. Even if she yelled at him, he couldn't understand what she was saying.
Wen Jiuze sat beside her and smoked a cigarette calmly. Then Xue Ling felt his hand touch the strap she had been struggling with for a long time and untied it.
Did you come all the way here to untie her? Do you really want to let her go?
Before Xue Ling could be happy, her wrist, which had been tied for half a day, was grasped by a warm hand.
He rubbed her wrists: "There are purple bruises... Can zombies feel pain?"
“Probably not.”
He said no, but his hand did not leave her wrist. He pinched and rubbed her stiff wrist.
After a while, he let his shoulders slump and relaxed, and finally even lay down next to her, with one leg raised and crossed loosely.
...You are so arrogant!
I feel underestimated as a zombie.
Xue Ling let out a terrifying cry and rushed over.
She admitted that she had intended to be provocative and scary.
But whether it was scary or not was another matter, but competing with Wen Jiuze in skills was a bad decision. She was asking for trouble.
Wen Jiuze grabbed her hands and placed them in front of his body, clamping her legs together to prevent her from moving.
Xue Ling was half-pinned in his arms, lying there motionless, feeling uncomfortable from the heat from his body.
He didn't seem to notice how heavy and hot he was, and even buried his head on her.
"Hmm...you smell a bit." he said suddenly.
Xue Ling: “…”
Wen Jiuze was not prepared for her sudden madness and almost failed to catch her.
"Why are you so noisy all of a sudden? Are you hungry? It's impossible that you can understand what I'm saying and are angry?"
I don't understand! I don't understand your dog's barking!
Xue Ling abandoned the few remaining human baggage and went completely crazy.
Seeing how much trouble she was making, Wen Jiuze had no choice but to let her go. He stood not far away and clapped his hands at her: "You want to attack me? Come on, let's see if you can catch me."
At that moment, all the old hatreds and grudges from the past came to his mind. Xue Ling forgot the difference in skills between them and was determined to beat him up.
Wen Jiuze supported himself with his hands and dodged a few times. Seeing her frightened look, he even laughed out loud and said, "You walk unsteadily, like a penguin."
All I can say is that there are reasons why some people become “ex” boyfriends.
It's really shameful!
After chasing for a long time, Xue Ling's anger had disappeared, and she hadn't even touched a hair of the bastard.
She stopped where she was, and suddenly felt fortunate that she was already dead so that she would not be angered to death again.
Wen Jiuze walked over slowly.
"Do you still want to play?"
Xue Ling suddenly reached out to grab his waist, but Wen Jiuze dodged it. Then he moved closer and showed a smiling face: "Again?"
Xue Ling didn't want to come again, so he turned around and staggered towards the haystack.
Wen Jiuze followed behind her and sighed: "Why do I feel like you are more lively than before?"
I'm dead! And you still say I'm alive! Listen to what you're saying!
Xue Ling fell into the haystack, trying to throw herself into it. Halfway through, an arm came across and pulled her back.
"You want to sleep here? Or go to the car and sleep."
He stuffed her into the back seat of the car, untied this time, and pulled out a blanket to cover her.
Then he closed the door and got out.
His smile gradually disappeared in the darkness. He leaned against the car door, lit another cigarette, and sat outside the car all night without sleeping.
Xue Ling thought he would drive her back to the camp quickly, but he didn't. The next morning, he was still there.
Xue Ling raised her head and looked out the window. She saw him washing his face in a ditch nearby, wiping his hair twice, and then walking towards the car with a towel wrapped around his neck.
She immediately lay back down stiffly.
The car door that was pressing against her head was opened, and a cool, wet towel was placed over her face and rubbed.
Wen Jiuze held up the towel and looked at the dust on it, saying, "No wonder it smells a bit bad. Look, it's so dirty."
Xue Ling's fists became stiff.
As a zombie, her body was stiff and it was difficult for her to maintain personal hygiene. Moreover, she was mixed in with a group of zombies, and those of her kind didn't care whether she washed her face every day, let alone humans. So it was inevitable that she became a little lax.
Besides, if a zombie is too clean, it will be out of place in the zombie group and very dangerous. If it encounters a human team, it will easily be the first to be killed.
Wen Jiuze is a human being, what does he know about the survival wisdom of zombies!
"How about I find a place to help you take a bath?" Wen Jiuze said.
He pulled up his black T-shirt and said, "I haven't showered for two or three days. I think I smell."
From this angle, Xue Ling can see his beautiful abdominal muscles and chest under his pulled-up T-shirt... How did he train that? He looks sexier than he was three years ago.
She closed her eyes.
Before the car could drive away, Dai Ying and Mi Ge came over.
"Cousin, you didn't go home all night." Dai Ying looked worried as if she had done something wrong. "Are you not going back?"
"I'm not going back." Wen Jiuze said indifferently.
Brother Mi came over and advised: "Xiao Wen, everyone is wrong in this matter. We have discussed it. You should come back with us. After all, we have been together for such a long time. Things should have a beginning and an end. You can leave when you want to after we finish the matter here."
"You can also take the zombie back with you. I've told them that you just need to take good care of it and not let it hurt anyone."
"You seem to have made a mistake." Wen Jiuze leaned against the car, smiling, "I don't care what they think. I'm not going back not because they don't agree, but because I don't want them to hurt Xue Ling."
Dai Ying was stunned, while Mi Ge disagreed: "You are very powerful, but no matter how powerful you are, there will always be times when you are inconvenienced. At times like these, as human beings, helping each other is the only way to survive."
"Help each other? Have you helped me? Haven't I been helping you all the time?"
Wen Jiuze changed from his previous lazy and casual demeanor, his eyes and expression became aggressive.
"Okay, stop talking about those useless things. Send me the gasoline bullets you promised me before, and I'll leave right away."
Dai Ying left with Mi Ge crying, hurt by his cousin's cold attitude. He didn't expect his cousin to be so angry that he didn't even want to pay attention to him.
They didn't have much interaction in the past, except for a few years ago when they visited each other more frequently, but they are family after all.
Xue Ling secretly observed from behind the car window and saw them parting on bad terms.
Wen Jiuze actually had a quarrel with the team because of her, and now they were going their separate ways.
What is going on?
Wen Jiuze put the gasoline bullets into the car, drove away with Xue Ling, and headed in the opposite direction of the camp.
When he doesn't smile, his face can easily put people under great pressure and appear unusually cold.
The car drove on the road for a while. Wen Jiuze didn't hear any movement in the back seat, so he turned his head to take a look.
He smiled again and hummed doubtfully, "Huh? Why is there no movement? Was he scared by the person who just came?"
"It's okay. We won't go back to that crowded place. We'll find a place where there's no one. That way, no one will come to hurt you."
