Chapter 7 Lies
"I, I thought it was a zombie, but it turned out to be a human." An obvious lie.
The thin man forced a smile, but it seemed forced.
"Really? How do you explain those zombies at the door?" Xia Chenxi squatted in front of the man, "Where is the store owner going again?"
The thin man's face turned pale.
"What boss? I don't know. I was alone when I came." Another lie.
Xia Chenxi nodded. The sinister aura emanating from him made Ye Xuan feel a little terrified.
"Some people are selfish when they are alive. They don't contribute anything to society. They waste air, food and water. When they die, they waste land." From the front that Ye Xuan couldn't see, Xia Chenxi showed the man a cold smile, like a devil crawling out of hell. "But now, even after death, people can run around the streets without eating or drinking. Don't you think it's better for such selfish people to die?"
The man was so scared that he dropped his phone on the ground.
Xia Chenxi put away his smile, stood up, and crushed his phone with one foot. The music stopped abruptly, and the only sound left in the small space was the breathing of three people.
"I was wrong, I was wrong, I was really wrong, please let me go, please." The man knelt down in front of Xia Chenxi, crying and kowtowed to Xia Chenxi over and over again.
Xia Chenxi looked at him coldly, his eyes filled with disgust and a hint of anger.
He grabbed the man by the scruff of his neck and carried him to the window.
Ye Xuan stood in front of Xia Chenxi.
"Xia Chenxi, have you thought it through?"
All they have been killing so far are zombies, and they haven’t killed a single human being.
"Don't meddle in other people's business." Xia Chenxi pushed Ye Xuan aside, opened the window, threw the man out without hesitation, and closed and locked the window again.
"I was wrong, I was wrong. It was me who locked the boss out. It was me who wanted to kill you. It was all my fault. I know I was wrong. I won't do it again. Let me go." The man slammed the glass in panic while observing his surroundings.
Xia Chenxi folded his arms across his chest, indifferent to his pleas.
In addition to the man's praying voice, Ye Xuan also heard another voice, the voice of zombies.
Knowing that it was useless to beg again, the man changed his cowardly expression, smashed the window hard, and shouted at Xia Chenxi and Ye Xuan in the glass with hatred and distortion: "I will kill both of you, and you will all die miserably."
The next second, the man was knocked to the ground by several zombies. After a burst of shrill screams, the zombies dispersed again.
Ye Xuan walked to Xia Chenxi and saw the man with his face bitten to pieces stand up straight after twitching, his eyes wide open, and walk away step by step.
"Xia Chenxi..."
"It wasn't me who killed him, it was himself. He lost his humanity and killed himself." Xia Chenxi looked at Ye Xuan, his eyes calm and without any wavering.
Ye Xuan suddenly wanted to know what was hidden behind those eyes.
"I don't blame you. You have your own values and worldview, and he was the one who wanted to harm people first." Ye Xuan bit his lower lip and asked the doubts in his heart, "From just now, you have been concerned about the owner of the convenience store. What is your relationship with him?"
There was a fluctuation in Xia Chenxi's eyes, and Ye Xuan keenly caught a hint of sadness from it.
"Ye Xuan, I am a poor student."
"The owner of the convenience store has funded me for ten years."
"Just now, I saw him on the roof."
......
In Ye Xuan's impression, the owner of the convenience store was a very kind, slightly plump middle-aged man. When he was turning in front of the stage, his left leg was not very flexible and he was always one step slower.
Once, he accidentally dropped his student ID here, and this kind fat man actually chased him all the way to the dormitory door.
When that round face smiles, the facial features are squeezed into a ball, looking both funny and honest.
The rough fingers pinched his student ID and handed it to him.
A mellow voice sounded: "Hey classmate, why are you walking so fast? Hurry up and take your student ID back. For you, I'm temporarily closing the store."
......
"Xia Chenxi..."
Ye Xuan wanted to say something to persuade them, but he didn't know what to say, and he didn't have the qualifications.
So he went to the shelf to find the lollipop, tore open the package and handed it to Xia Chenxi.
Xia Chenxi took it and put the lollipop into Ye Xuan's mouth.
“I’m not a kindergartener.”
Ye Xuan bit the candy and glared at Xia Chenxi.
The two finished their dinner before the night fell completely dark.
In order to save battery on his phone, Ye Xuan turned off his phone and sat in the dark with Xia Chenxi. The two of them remained silent in the dark, so the footsteps of the zombies outside became particularly clear, making the already gloomy environment even more terrifying.
"Ding Dong" Ye Xuan's cell phone rang.
Ye Xuan turned on his phone and found that he had received a text message.
Xia Chenxi walked over and sat down next to Ye Xuan. His cell phone had already been gloriously sacrificed.
Ye Xuan clicked on the text message.
[Hello, survivor, we are well aware of how difficult it is for you. If you are still alive, please send your address to this message and we will send someone to rescue you. 】
Ye Xuan's hand holding the phone was shaking with excitement. After so many days and nights, they finally waited for rescue.
He couldn't wait to type the school address on the screen, even down to the exact location of the canteen and the route from the school gate to the canteen.
"Wait." Xia Chenxi stopped Ye Xuan, "Read this carefully. The person who sent the text message only said that he would send someone to rescue us, but he didn't say who would be sent to rescue us."
"So what? It's good enough that someone comes to rescue us. The food in the store will run out too. We can't be trapped here forever." Ye Xuan refuted Xia Chenxi.
“There is no such thing as a free lunch.”
"We will die here, Xia Chenxi. The government's delay in taking action means that the situation outside has changed a long time ago. If we miss this opportunity, will we have another chance?"
Xia Chenxi rubbed his temples and said helplessly: "Forget it, whatever you want."
Ye Xuan clicked send.
The topic stopped there and the room fell silent again.
Ye Xuan was exhausted after escaping all day. He leaned against the wall and fell asleep soon.
In his dream, there was a snake chasing him. No matter how far he ran, the snake would keep chasing him. Suddenly, it jumped up and bit his neck.
Ye Xuan opened his eyes and felt his body was heavy and his neck was painful.
!
"Xia Chenxi, what are you doing?"
The dim light of the sky fell on Xia Chenxi's face, blurring his features, but his red eyes were exceptionally clear.
Xia Chenxi was biting his neck!
"Xia Chenxi! Let go quickly, it hurts, are you going to bite me to death?"
Xia Chenxi refused to let go, and Ye Xuan could no longer bear it, so he slapped him in the face.
Ye Xuan used all his strength to slap him, causing his palm to become numb.
Xia Chenxi slowly opened his mouth and lowered his head. His slightly long bangs blocked his eyes, making Ye Xuan unable to see his expression.
"Xia Chenxi, are you okay?"
Ye Xuan stretched out his hand and waved it in front of him.
Xia Chenxi grabbed his hand and said to Ye Xuan in a hoarse voice: "Sorry."
