Chapter 42 Is it too late?
The woman screamed miserably as Old Wu bit half of her palm. Her face twisted into a ball of pain: "Ah—Old Wu is crazy!"
"Help me pull him away--"
The lively atmosphere in the chess and card room was completely broken.
Several old men and women sitting nearby came up to help.
Some of them pulled at Old Wu's sleeves, while others kept nagging him, "Old Wu, what's wrong with you?"
"Let go quickly!"
"Hey, how long has it been since your family last had meat? Have you switched to eating human flesh?"
The woman who was bitten was in so much pain that tears and snot streamed down her face. "Someone pull him away! It hurts so much... What's the point of just moving your mouth?"
Old Wu remained indifferent. The old man and the old woman's actions had no effect on him at all.
"Oh my god...someone's dead!" A panicked cry came from another corner of the chess and card room!
Of the four people at that table, two were lying on the table, motionless.
There is also one chasing the man who keeps screaming!
Someone went to check on the two people lying there: "Hey, what's wrong with you?"
"Should we go to the hospital?"
The two people lying on the ground slowly stood up and opened their mouths to bite the people who were close to them.
More screams and cries were heard!
The chess and card room was in chaos!
Some people saw that the situation was not right and left the chess and card room!
There were only a few zombies left in the chess and card room, tearing at the corpses...
When Tian Yao and Duan Lei rushed into the chess and card room, they saw zombies gnawing on corpses. Duan Lei punched the wall fiercely: "Dad, Mom..."
Are Duan Lei's father and mother in here? Tian Yao leaned over to take a look. The zombie dropped the body, stood up, and staggered towards Tian Yao and Duan Lei!
The zombies' grayish-green faces revealed their appearance in life: wrinkled elderly people. The corpses on the ground were unrecognizable, but Tian Yao didn't think they looked like Duan Lei's parents. "Did you look carefully? Are your parents among them?"
"How else can I look? I've searched everywhere I could, and my parents are right here," Duan Lei said, his head hanging in frustration. "We're too late!"
"Idiot!" Tian Yao kicked away the zombies approaching them and reached out to twist Duan Lei's ears: "Look carefully! Your parents are not here!"
"Xiao Lei, what are you doing?" Duan Lei's father's puzzled voice came from outside the chess and card room.
Duan Lei's mother bravely walked in and pulled her son out: "There's a biting monster in there! Come home with us!"
Hearing his parents' anxious voices, Duan Lei slowly raised his head. When he saw his parents, his eyes lit up: "Dad, Mom, are you okay?"
"Uncle, aunt, where have you been?" Tian Yao quickly took back the hand that was twisting Duan Lei's ear: "Xiao Lei is worried about you!"
Without waiting for his parents to answer, Duan Lei broke free from his mother and pulled his parents home: "Just play mahjong, why are you still working?"
"Someone in the chess and card room has turned into a biting monster," Duan Lei's mother was very scared. Her hands were still shaking when she grabbed her son.
Tian Yao discovered that Duan Lei's mother's arm was bleeding, with a conspicuous tooth mark on it.
There was also blood on Duan Lei's father's hands. Tian Yao didn't see any scars, so she didn't know if it was someone else's blood or if Duan Lei's father was also bitten.
Duan Lei hadn't discovered anything at this time, and Tian Yao didn't know how to tell Duan Lei about this. She knew that the smarter the child, the more fragile his heart would be!
Duan Lei held his father with one hand and his mother with the other: "Mom and Dad, stop running around. I'll take you home!" No one noticed the tears in the corners of his eyes.
He also saw what Tian Yao saw.
This may be the last time he spends with his parents, and all he can think about is bringing them home.
Tian Yao watched Duan Lei and his parents return home, and she did not chase after them.
"What are you doing? You look like a fool waiting for your husband to come?" Li Zhen was lying on the balcony, chewing an apple.
Hearing the sound, Tian Yao turned around and glared at him fiercely: "Shut up!"
"How cruel! You two just left me alone, and I haven't even settled the score with you yet," Li Zhen said, "Come up, I have something to tell you!"
"Bullshit!" Tian Yao replied angrily, and turned around to walk towards Li Zhen's rental house. She would copy Li Zhen's water and fire abilities first!
As soon as Tian Yao entered the room, Li Zhen threw an apple to her: "What's wrong? You look upset!"
Tian Yao caught the apple, put one hand into Li Zhen’s arms, and patted his wrist: "I feel better now!" With the dual superpowers of water and fire, there is no need to chew ice cubes when there is no water to drink!
"I didn't expect you to have a hobby of molesting others!" Li Zhen gave Tian Yao a strange look: "This really opens my eyes!"
"You're not handsome, I'm blind so I molested you," Tian Yao said angrily. Copying someone else's abilities required physical contact, and there was nothing she could do about it. However, she couldn't tell Li Zhen, "By the way, what do you want to say?"
Li Zhen raised his head proudly: "I wanted to say it just now, but now I don't want to say it anymore!"
"Even if you don't tell me, I know it," Tian Yao glanced at Li Zhen. "When you had a fever, I saw one of your eyes turn blue and the other red! Doesn't that mean you have superpowers?"
"Xiaolei's mom and dad might turn into zombies. I'm afraid he can't do it. Go help him!"
"What? Zombies?" Li Zhen raised his hand to scratch his ear: "Are you kidding me?"
Someone outside the building was shouting, "Help! There's a man-eating monster..."
"Help me call the police!"
Li Zhen walked onto the balcony, and what he saw outside the window refreshed his cognition.
A few zombies that only appear in movies are staggering after a living person!
The community was filled with screams, one after another!
Someone opened the window and said, "Help! Someone help me! My husband has turned into a man-eating monster!"
"I'm not kidding you. Do you know why I don't go home?" Tian Yao walked to Li Zhen's side and looked out the balcony with him.
Seeing clearly that everything outside was not acting or cosplay, Li Zhen suppressed his surprise: "Are they really zombies?" He gathered water droplets in one hand, and a flame flickered in the other. "What about mine?"
"This is a superpower!" Tian Yao pressed Li Zhen's hand. "When others haven't revealed their superpowers, I advise you not to reveal them either!"
"Don't ask me why!"
The lessons learned from death are deeper than blood!
"I'm not stupid! Although I'm still a little confused, I've decided to trust you!" Li Zhen retracted the supernatural power in his hand and said, "I'll go see Little Diamond!"
"I'll go with you!" Tian Yao followed Li Zhen and climbed over the balcony into Duan Lei's house. They saw Duan Lei and his parents sitting in the living room. Duan Lei's mother rolled up her sleeves, and there was a clear black tooth mark on her arm.
When Tian Yao saw Duan Lei’s father’s face turn blue, she knew that he was about to change!
"Let's wait outside!" Tian Yao retreated to Duan Lei's balcony! "If he needs help, we'll go in."
