Chapter 8



Zombie...Auntie? ?

Little girl... you are very polite, but that's not the point. Has the middle-aged woman lying on the ground turned into a zombie?

Lu Ziyun and Lu Ziting looked at each other in surprise.

But regardless of whether it was true or false, safety came first. Both of them took a step back and kept their distance from the woman.

Just as they stepped back, the middle-aged woman raised her head in a stiff and strange movement, accompanied by a hoarse roar from her throat.

Lu Ziting was shocked: "Fuck! Brother, she really turned into a zombie! Fortunately you didn't touch her!"

Lu Ziyun stared intently at the woman who had turned into a zombie, and clenched the sharp fire axe in his hand: "Take good care of Sangsang."

The scene of using a fire axe to kill zombies was too bloody. Lu Ziting was afraid of scaring Sangsang, so he covered her eyes with his big hands without him reminding her.

Sangsang's vision turned black, and her fingers clutched the corner of his clothes tightly. In her ears rang the roar of the zombie aunt and the sound of her falling to the ground, exactly the same as what she heard in the supermarket.

Sangsang's body trembled and she shrank into Lu Ziting's arms.

"Be good, Sangsang, don't be afraid."

The little girl in his arms, originally a soft ball, was now extremely stiff. Lu Ziting thought she must be frightened, so he lowered his voice and gently comforted her, very gentle.

"Big brother, I... I'm not afraid," Sangsang shook his head, but his childish voice sounded a bit like crying.

She sniffed and told herself in her heart that she had to complete her mission and go home to see her parents. She couldn't be afraid of humans killing zombies, she couldn't be afraid...

The system was silent. It knew that as long as Sangsang started the main storyline and stayed with the protagonists, she would see more and more zombie-killing scenes in the future.

As a little zombie cub, it would be a lie to say she isn't cruel...

The system felt reluctant, so he took a deep breath and spoke with determination:

"Sangsang, I'm sorry. I've figured it out. This mission doesn't belong to you, so there's no point asking you to do it. Wait here while I go back to headquarters. When I get back, I'll give you a satisfactory answer."

——The system had anticipated the outcome of returning to headquarters, which would be nothing more than formatting, restarting, and issuing a deletion command. He should accept it.

"No," Sangsang shook his head, full of resistance, "You promised me to grow up with me, you can't leave."

Sangsang didn’t know what a “satisfactory answer” was, but when he heard Uncle System say “go back to headquarters”, he seemed to understand something.

Her parents are no longer around, but she still has her uncle.

He can't leave, he can't...

The system sighed and stopped talking.

After getting rid of the middle-aged woman who turned into a zombie, Lu Ziting held Sangsang in his arms and followed his brother who led the way back to the B&B suite on the fourth floor.

After opening the door and going in, the two brothers breathed a sigh of relief, and their tense nerves from going out to kill zombies for the first time gradually relaxed.

Sangsang held Lu Ziting's big hand, blinked her eyes, and looked at the room curiously.

The decoration of the B&B suite was clean and tidy, and there were beautiful wallpapers on the walls, which she had never seen before.

Lu Ziyun put down his backpack, bent down and touched her soft hair, "Sangsang, do you like it here?"

"I like it," Sangsang's eyelashes trembled, "very beautiful~".

Lu Ziyun smiled and continued: "Then you and your brothers can rest here for one night. We will set off for Beijing Institute of Technology tomorrow and I will take you to find your brothers, okay?"

It was already late, and the zombies were even more dangerous at night. For safety reasons, the two brothers and Sang Sang needed to rest for a night before starting their plan to leave the city, and they would not act rashly.

Sangsang said "hmm" and nodded, and the slightly curly hair on his head shook.

Lu Ziting looked at the well-behaved and cute little girl, took out a piece of Dove chocolate from his pocket, tore open the package and handed it to her, and began to feed her.

Sangsang: "Thank you, brother~".

Her babyish voice calling him "brother" made Lu Ziting so happy that he smiled like a fool.

—Aaaaah! My sister is so cute!

After Sangsang finished chewing a small piece of chocolate, Lu Ziyun wiped her mouth with a tissue. A thoughtful look appeared on his handsome face, and he asked slowly:

"Sangsang, the woman in the stairwell was lying on the ground at that time. How did you know that she had turned into a zombie?"

When the two brothers left, the middle-aged woman was still alive and well, so when they came back, they never thought that she had mutated.

If Sangsang hadn't reminded him, he would have been in great danger if he had reached out to touch her.

Sangsang bit her finger, remembering Uncle System's instructions not to let anyone know she was a little zombie. She lowered her head, staring at her toes, and replied in a baby voice, "I...I just know."

Lu Ziyun: “…” What kind of answer is this?

Lu Ziting's eyes lit up, as if he had suddenly realized something. "Brother, I guess Sangsang is still young, so she's more keenly aware of danger. That's why she noticed it! This is all childish intuition!"

Although Sangsang didn't quite understand the full meaning of his words, it didn't stop her from nodding in agreement. She said seriously: "Yeah, brother is right, that's it~".

After receiving Sangsang's response, Lu Ziting raised his eyebrows at her proudly.

Lu Ziyun thought about it and accepted this statement.

Lu Ziyun and Lu Ziting had been planning to leave Jincheng, so while the power was still on, they fully charged their drones and mobile power banks, which would be enough to last them for a while on the road.

After packing up almost all the things he wanted to take with him, it was getting dark, so Lu Ziyun walked into the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Lu Ziting stayed in the living room with Sangsang. He reached out and brushed her soft and slightly messy hair, and said expectantly: "Sangsang, can I braid your hair for you?"

——Combing your sister’s hair is the ultimate dream of a brother!

Sangsang touched his head, looked up at him, and stretched out his carrot-like little finger to gesture: "Brother, Sangsang should have two tufts of hair on his head~".

Lu Ziting smiled brightly, patted his chest and replied with assurance: "No problem, leave it to me."

His big hands held two light pink rubber bands, and he pinched Sangsang's soft hair with his fingertips. In a short while, he quickly and neatly tied two beautiful pigtails for her.

Lu Ziting held up a small mirror and placed it in front of her, and said contentedly: "Sangsang is the cutest with her hair combed into little buns."

Sangsang looked in the mirror and carefully touched the small braid on her head, her eyes full of love for the new hairstyle.

She smiled happily and replied in a crisp voice: "Thank you, Brother Ziting~".

The little girl in the mirror has red lips, white teeth, curved eyebrows and eyes. When she smiles, she is very charming and cute.

Having such a lovely sister, Lu Ziting suddenly remembered that he had not yet asked her what her biological brother's name was.

"Sangsang, what's the name of your brother at BIT?"

"My brother's name is Sang Chi," Sangsang blinked, recalling what Uncle System said, and continued: "He is in the second grade."

Lu Ziting: “…” He’s a sophomore, right?

He looked at Sangsang's serious expression, suppressed his laughter, and nodded: "Okay, tomorrow we will take Sangsang to Beijing Institute of Technology to find your brother Sangchi who is in the second grade!"

The next morning, the sky was dim.

Lu Ziyun opened his eyes and glanced at his brother, who was sprawled out in the next bed. He reached out and patted his head to wake him up. Then he tiptoed to the next room and came to Sangsang's bed.

The little girl closed her eyes, sound asleep. Her long eyelashes, like little fans, cast a faint shadow beneath her eyelids. Her round little face was rosy from sleep, like a ripe red apple.

The pigtails had been undone before going to bed, and the soft and fluffy hair on her head was slightly messy and stuck to her cheeks, making her look as cute as a kitten.

Lu Ziyun subconsciously reached out and gently stroked the loose hair on Sangsang's forehead, but he didn't expect that as he moved, the little girl opened her eyes with trembling eyelashes.

"Sangsang, did your brother wake you up?" Lu Ziyun froze and retracted his hand.

Sangsang rubbed her eyes and scrambled out of bed, her next move reaching for her head. A confused expression appeared on her face, and she muttered, "Huh? Where's my little one?"

The little girl was obviously not fully awake, and she was dazedly looking for the braids she had tied last night.

Lu Ziyun was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He bent down, moved his slender white fingers, and quickly tied Sangsang's hair again, making two playful and cute Nezha buns for her.

Looking at the combed hairstyle, Lu Ziyun nodded with satisfaction, carried Sangsang into the bathroom, and stood in front of the mirror: "Look at the little bun I tied for you."

Sangsang looked in the mirror, looked around happily, and said happily, "Thank you, Brother Ziyun, my pigtails are back~" Lu Ziyun looked at his happy sister and washed her face with a smile.

After washing up, I came to the living room, where breakfast made by Lu Ziting was already on the dining table.

He made some fragrant golden omelets and opened a few cans of sweet eight-treasure porridge.

After eating and drinking, Lu Ziyun and Lu Ziting carried their luggage bags, held their weapons, and walked out of the B&B with Sangsang towards the underground garage.

The two brothers are self-driving travel bloggers, and the car they drive on weekdays is a durable off-road vehicle.

It was parked in the community garage before the end of the world.

The park was quiet in the early morning, so quiet that it was creepy. Lu Ziyun took the lead and moved forward carefully and cautiously.

Sangsang lay obediently on Lu Ziting's shoulder, blinking her bright eyes and looking at the scenery in the community curiously.

As she passed by the small playground, she looked at the brightly colored slides and seesaws and was attracted by them.

At this moment, a rustling sound came from the lush grass in the flower bed, and the next moment a zombie stood up from the bushes, with a few strands of green grass mixed in its messy hair.

Although it has a hideous face, when its head is green, it looks inexplicably stupid.

The silly zombie wearing a green head stared at Lu Ziyun and Lu Ziting. The two of them held their breath and clenched the fire axes in their hands.

It made a hoarse sound in its throat, and then its gaze slowly moved downwards, looking at... Sangsang.
