Chapter 85: The Little Doomsday Writer (Yu Hui) 32 Teach me...
After spending a safe night, Song Qingqing got up in the morning and felt like she was alive again. She sat there in a daze for a while, then looked at the empty pillow next to her. Zhou Zhanyun seemed to have left home for the research institute. After realizing this, Song Qingqing jumped out of bed and cheered.
It seems that in the future, I can use the trick of pretending to sleep to avoid Zhou Zhanyun's jealousy. Every time Song Qingqing pretends to cry, she can't cry at all and has to hold it in for a while before she can produce tears.
Song Qingqing was just feeling lucky that she had escaped again when the door of the room suddenly opened.
The air suddenly became quiet for a moment because the door opened.
"What are you so happy about?"
Zhou Zhanyun's indifferent and calm voice came from behind, without any waves, but it made people's scalp tighten. Song Qingqing froze in an instant, then turned around stiffly to look.
The tall, slender Zhou Zhanyun had already changed into the central research institute's white lab coat. He leaned against the door frame with his arms folded, looking down at the girl in front of him. He asked calmly, "Are you planning to stay home all day if you haven't gotten up yet to go to the lab?"
Song Qingqing looked up at Zhou Zhanyun's face blankly, wanting to observe the expression on his face, but she met his silver-gray eyes that were calmly looking at her.
Song Qingqing was a little confused, but didn't dare to ask. Zhou Zhanyun seemed to have a faint blue shadow under his eyes, looking a little haggard. Combined with his cold face, he was very intimidating. He might not have slept well last night, so he didn't have the energy to be angry with her today.
There was a faint cool breeze lingering at the tip of the nose, coming from Zhou Zhanyun, which made people's consciousness much clearer.
Song Qingqing reacted quickly and shook her head. Fearing that Zhou Zhanyun would leave first, she grabbed the corner of his coat and said, "Brother, can you wait for me? I'll be there soon!"
After washing up, Song Qingqing quickly returned to the room. Perhaps because she ran so fast, she was still a little out of breath.
Zhou Zhanyun looked at Song Qingqing's face, which looked rosy and fair, perhaps because she had just woken up, and also emitted a soft and radiant glow. It was obvious that he had taken good care of her during this period of time, and she had slept very well last night.
Zhou Zhanyun, who had not slept all night holding her, suddenly had some subtle changes in his expression, which became much darker. Late last night, Song Qingqing might have had a nightmare. She climbed on him like an octopus and entangled him with her hands and feet.
Zhou Zhanyun wanted to get out of bed and get his own sleeping syrup to feed her some, but as soon as he pulled her hand away, she kept burrowing into his arms like a frightened baby animal, and he couldn't hold her out. She even started crying, and her tears fell in big drops, wetting a large area of his chest.
Helpless Zhou Zhanyun tossed and turned for more than half an hour with a dark face, then let go of his hand and let Song Qingqing curl up in his arms and fall asleep.
The room was pitch black late at night, with only a faint silver-white cold light outside the window.
Zhou Zhanyun's night vision ability was far superior to that of ordinary people, so he only needed to lower his eyes slightly to see the girl curled up in his arms. Her soft long black hair was wet with tears, and the corners of her eyes were wet and red. He looked at her quietly for a long time, and after his Adam's apple rolled a few times, he slowly lowered his head. His slightly cool thin lips gently touched the corners of her eyes, rolling away all the tears in the corners of her eyes.
Some of it accidentally sank into the gap between the lips and spread between the lips, teeth and the tip of the tongue.
The salty and bitter taste was not pleasant. Zhou Zhanyun couldn't help but frowned, thinking that she should cry less in the future. He never thought that tears would taste so bad.
After finishing his recollection, Zhou Zhanyun couldn't help but sneer in his heart. He could tell what this heartless little thing was thinking with just one look. When he was close enough, he could clearly see the small peach-like hairs on the girl's fair face, as if waiting for someone to taste it.
There was a slight pause in his Adam's apple.
While Song Qingqing was in a daze, Zhou Zhanyun suddenly leaned over and bit her cheek without any warning. He knew that this girl was delicate, so he didn't use much force, but it was enough to scare her and left a shallow tooth mark.
Song Qingqing, who was caught off guard by the bite, slowly opened her eyes wide, her pupils shrinking slightly, and then she quickly covered the bitten side of her face. She endured it again and again, but still couldn't help but choked Zhou Zhanyun, "Brother, are you a puppy?!"
She had never seen Zhou Zhanyun, who was calm and restrained to the point of being pathological, do such an extraordinary thing. At most, he just liked to deliberately press her against the door in the laboratory to scare her. Today, Zhou Zhanyun did not settle the old score with her about Ye Si, nor was he angry. He even made such an intimate gesture. It was abnormal, too abnormal!
In a zombie apocalypse, Song Qingqing had a conditioned fear of biting people. Could Zhou Zhanyun have gone astray and turned into a zombie? Wouldn't that mean his bite would have directly pierced her face?
The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. She leaned over to the mirror and took a closer look. There was a clearly visible tooth mark on the left side of her fair face. It was undoubtedly Zhou Zhanyun's doing. She bit her lip and turned around uncontrollably, pointing at the bite mark on her face and accusing Zhou Zhanyun, "How can I go to the lab like this?"
There was no way she was going to the lab with such an ambiguous image on her face. Wouldn't everyone in the institute know about it?!
Not to mention that there is Ye Si, the zombie king in the research institute who looks gentle and harmless but is actually full of evil intentions.
Zhou Zhanyun smiled, as if he had already prepared it, and pulled out a medical mask from the pocket of his lab coat. After unpacking it, he slowly put it on Song Qingqing, "That's it, isn't it? Why rush? Let's go."
Song Qingqing was completely unaware that Zhou Zhanyun hadn't even let her see what she looked like in the mirror with a mask on. The mask did cover the teeth mark, but only halfway. Even after the teeth mark faded, an ambiguous, faint red mark was left, which could be clearly seen if you got close enough.
For the entire morning, Song Qingqing was tossed around by Zhou Zhanyun like a little top. Sometimes she went to K1 to get observation data, and sometimes she went to the dissection area to get experimental samples. By the time she got to the end, her brain was a little dazed.
Song Qingqing, who was resting on a chair, glanced at Zhou Zhanyun who was concentrating on dividing the experimental samples. His silver-gray eyes shone coldly under the light, focused and cold.
Song Qingqing swallowed.
If she remembered correctly, the experimental sample seemed to have been cut out from the brain of a mutant zombie...
Zhou Zhanyun didn't care about the dark red blood stains on his gloves and looked calm.
During the experiment, Zhou Zhanyun didn't pay much attention to the outside environment, so Song Qingqing made an excuse and sneaked out, wanting to find an open and deserted place to get some fresh air.
After going around in circles, Song Qingqing found the place where she could usually stay quietly alone. This was a corner area with a blind spot for surveillance. As long as she didn't get close to the glass door on the right, she could basically not see what was happening inside. Then she slowly pulled out a piece of scrap paper from her pocket, and after carefully looking at the handwriting on it, Song Qingqing was a little confused.
Deficiency and immunity?
What's the meaning?
She had accidentally found this piece of paper in a shredder one day. Zhou Zhanyun rarely destroyed records related to experiments, except for some things that really had no verification value. Moreover, when destroying this thing, Song Qingqing felt that the expression on Zhou Zhanyun's face was not very good, with an indescribable indifference and rejection. Could this be something related to Ye Si's mutant zombie?
But looking at Ye Si's evolution, he can perfectly disguise himself in the crowd. He doesn't look like he has any defects at all?
Unable to figure it out, Song Qingqing stuffed the piece of paper into her pocket. As she was thinking, a cool breath suddenly blew past her earlobe and approached silently behind her. This action seemed ambiguous and dangerous.
Song Qingqing suddenly became nervous and clenched the pocket of her white robe.
The next moment, Ye Si's voice, gentle to the bone, came to my ears, "Qingqing, long time no see."
Very gentle, so gentle that Song Qingqing got goosebumps. What she feared most was that Ye Si would speak to her in such a gentle and considerate tone. She turned her head stiffly, and as expected, when he said this, Ye Si, who was wearing gold-rimmed glasses, was looking at her with a gentle smile.
I'm not afraid of Ye Si's expressionless face, I'm just afraid of him smiling.
In a way, he and Zhou Zhanyun are quite similar...
However, Ye Si's temper is obviously much better than Zhou Zhanyun's. At least he is not so vicious as to scold the research members of his own group to the point of breaking down their defenses and making enemies, and then join the rival Baige Research Institute.
Ye Si's gaze fell quietly on the skin at the edge of the girl's mask, where there was a light red mark. He and Song Qingqing had been close in City A for so long, so naturally he knew what this mark was better than anyone else.
But he didn't seem to have any obvious emotional fluctuations. A dark gleam flashed in his gray-blue eyes, which became a little dark, and his gentle smile deepened.
Song Qingqing's mind was racing with thoughts of how to trick Ye Si into believing that Zhou Zhanyun had brought her to the central research institute. Suddenly, an idea flashed through her mind. She pretended to look around, then, with a wary look on her face, she pulled Ye Si to the deepest corner and said to him in a low voice, "Teacher! Why did you come to the central base? This is too dangerous. Aren't you afraid..."
Will they find out that I am a zombie?
Even if Song Qingqing didn't say the second half of the sentence, with Ye Si's intelligence, he would be able to understand what she wanted to express in an instant.
Ye Si narrowed his eyes and smiled.
Was he afraid? Aren't the people who should be afraid the most, the human survivors of the Central Base? He could even come and go freely in the heavily guarded Central Research Institute, so why was he afraid of these things? Zhou Zhanyun did need to be wary, though. That guy's brain wasn't like a normal person's logic, and he could easily lose control.
and.......
Ye Si caught a glimpse of a figure appearing silently in the corridor on the right. A faint smile appeared in his eyes. Then he lowered his head slightly, pretending to listen carefully to the girl in front of him. His thin lips were getting closer and closer to her ear, and his eyes swept over slowly, observing Song Qingqing's expression as she pretended to be worried and concerned about him.
Moreover, did this weak and harmless little Cha Cha really think that he couldn't see that she was pretending to be worried about him? There were still traces of Zhou Zhanyun's deliberate marks on her face.
Based on Ye Si's understanding of Zhou Zhanyun, this crazy scientific researcher, he would never do such an out-of-control and stupid thing, unless...
A cold light flashed quietly in Ye Si's eyes. Unless this madman Zhou Zhanyun had already fallen into it and had no intention of returning his sister, whom he had been with day and night, to him, and deliberately left this seal to provoke him.
If nothing unexpected happens, that stubborn guy Zhao Zemu should have gotten the information I left and rushed to the central base. Then, let Zhao Zemu settle the score with Zhou Zhanyun, so that he can take Qingqing away while the chaos is going on.
His gaze casually withdrew from the glass door on the right, and Ye Si leaned down. His thin lips gently kissed the tip of Song Qingqing's fair and soft ear. Then he opened his thin lips slightly and gently held her delicate and fair earlobe. His voice was a little hoarse.
"Qingqing, hasn't anyone reminded you that the dog bite marks on your face are too obvious?" Ye Si said this neither anxiously nor angrily, but slowly and leisurely, with a gentle tone, as if... he was really reminding her.
But Song Qingqing felt unwell. She suddenly opened her eyes wide and reflexively covered her face with her hands, but then she found that this action was too obvious. She quickly pulled up the mask and lowered her hands, letting them hang naturally on both sides of her body.
Then, Song Qingqing quickly realized that this series of actions was simply an attempt to cover up one's true intentions, because Ye Si was looking at her with a smile throughout the whole process. Such a look and smile was simply enough to make one's scalp numb.
Song Qingqing took a deep breath and decided to just give up. These people were all like jealous people. She raised her hand and took off the mask Zhou Zhanyun had put on her. She turned her head away from Ye Si in frustration and said sullenly, "It was my brother. Zhou Zhanyun bit him, not a dog. Are you satisfied?"
"He was the one who brought me from the city to the central base while you were away."
Although she looked angry, Song Qingqing did not hesitate to put all the blame on Zhou Zhanyun.
Of course, she inevitably felt a little guilty, after all, she had actually planned to come to the central base to attack Zhou Zhanyun.
Unexpectedly, Ye Si didn't get angry. He just stood there quietly, then narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his hand to take off his glasses, and then reached out to protect the back of the girl's head. A light and gentle kiss with an inhumanly cold temperature fell on the red mark. He asked her softly in a gentle and clear voice, "Did he hurt you?"
Ye Si knew Zhou Zhanyun's character clearly. His empathy was almost zero. He didn't care whether he would hurt others or anything else. He only cared about his own experiments.
It is simply a fantasy to expect such a scientific research madman to pity, care for and fall in love with someone.
Song Qingqing pursed her lips and thought about it. The force with which Zhou Zhanyun bit her in the morning was actually not very strong, just a little scary.
However, to be honest, Ye Si's relatives are much more terrifying than Zhou Zhanyun. After all, one is a real zombie, and the other is a human with some human nature.
Song Qingqing suddenly and inappropriately remembered what Zhou Zhanyun had told her about Ye Si's condition.
Zhou Zhanyun seemed to have told me last time that zombies that have evolved completely enough can control the reproduction and mutation rate of viruses lurking in the human body?
But Song Qingqing subconsciously felt that Ye Si would not do this. To be honest, such behavior was more likely something Zhou Zhanyun could do.
Song Qingqing shook her head and answered Ye Si's question frankly about whether Zhou Zhanyun's bite hurt.
Ye Si's attention has now shifted to caring about himself. Does this mean that he will not mention Zhou Zhanyun anymore?
Song Qingqing thought cautiously, but who knows what she feared would come true.
The next second, Ye Si's eyes curved with a smile, and he asked her gently, "Qingqing, my application for an exchange lab assistant position was directly rejected by Zhou Zhanyun yesterday. Do you want to know what Zhou Zhanyun said to me yesterday?"
Song Qingqing didn't want to know, but she still obediently answered, "What did my brother say?"
Ye Si smiled and said gently: "Zhou Zhanyun told me, Qingqing, you used me as his substitute before, but it's just a substitute, don't take advantage of me."
Song Qingqing: “…”
Her mind went blank for a moment, and then her heart exploded sharply.
At that moment, she wanted to hold her head and build herself into the wall.
She never expected that Zhou Zhanyun would speak so directly to Ye Si. No, was he saying it directly like that?!
With her mind blank, Song Qingqing subconsciously looked up at Ye Si. The tall and handsome zombie youth was looking at her softly. There was no aggression in his gray-blue eyes. When he asked that question, he seemed to be filled with hurt and gloomy emotions. Song Qingqing also saw the water color flashing in them. She had never seen Ye Si with such an expression and pleading posture.
Feeling broken, yet still gentle and considerate.
Ye Si said in a gentle voice: "Qingqing, don't be afraid to tell me the truth. In fact, I don't mind even if you are a substitute. It's just that Zhou Zhanyun is really dangerous. I don't want you to stay here. But if you want to stay for him, I can stay with you."
Song Qingqing did not notice Zhou Zhanyun who appeared behind her out of nowhere and was only separated from her and Ye Si by a glass door. He looked at Ye Si expressionlessly as he unscrupulously pretended to be pitiful in front of the girl and even stepped on her foot as if nothing had happened. His words implied that he was an inhuman being who only knew how to conduct scientific research.
"No, it's not like that."
Zhou Zhanyun remained expressionless upon hearing these words. His inorganic silver-gray eyes quietly reflected everything before him, without any sadness or joy.
In fact, Zhou Zhanyun knew that Song Qingqing was lying as early as when she first said those words about being a substitute, but he didn't care. He was curious. The feeling of being close to such a soft, harmless and weak existence did not make him feel bored or anything else.
Even when he was doing experiments, when he saw Song Qingqing sleeping on the table, his heart, which had been restless because he couldn't come to a conclusion about the research, would suddenly calm down.
His mind told him that he shouldn't have this feeling of being out of control, but he didn't hate or reject it.
Song Qingqing bit her lip and whispered, "I was afraid that my brother would send me to the experimental operating table, so I said that."
But later, she found that Zhou Zhanyun didn't seem to do that, and he kept lowering his bottom line and principles. This really surprised her. She didn't expect that the process of completing the task would go so smoothly, even too smoothly.
Zhou Zhanyun lowered his eyes slightly.
He was familiar with the habit of speaking one thing to one person and another thing to another. He suddenly realized that he was a bit like the elite monster left to be dealt with at the end of the game level. This feeling came a little inexplicably, but it was particularly suitable for the situation before him.
First it was Zhao Zemu, then Ye Si, and finally himself.
His mood was a little subtle, even though his face remained calm.
With a click.
It was the sound of glass breaking behind me.
Song Qingqing's pupils shrank slightly, and she turned around quickly. The glass door was reflected in her eyes. The glass was covered with cracks that spread like spider webs. Behind the dense spider webs was Zhou Zhanyun, with no expression on his face.
Zhou Zhanyun's eyes were staring at her quietly. He suddenly smiled. Song Qingqing suddenly found that Zhou Zhanyun's pupils were very light in color, but at this moment they were strangely deep.
The glass in front of him seemed to be unable to withstand such pressure anymore and it collapsed and shattered, but the direction in which it broke was indeed where Zhou Zhanyun was.
Zhou Zhanyun commented indifferently in his heart that his out-of-control behavior was really laughable. Even at this time, he still indulged her, fearing that the glass fragments would scratch her. He was really hopeless.
The exploded glass fragments followed Zhou Zhanyun's thoughts and flew over to cut the skin under his eyes. Bright red blood quickly emerged and meandered down, leaving a red bloodstain. Combined with Zhou Zhanyun's cold face that was always calm, there was a strange sense of beauty.
The blood beads gradually gathered together, and finally, as if they could no longer bear the pressure, they dripped onto the ground and then shattered into pieces.
He took a steady step, stepped over the broken glass and mess, pulled Song Qingqing behind him, then raised his long legs and kicked Ye Si against the wall with an expressionless face. There was a loud noise, which scared Song Qingqing.
Unharmed, Ye Si slowly rose from the corner. He noticed the invisible, distorted barrier in the air, but didn't react much. He wasn't shocked, nor was he surprised. He even brushed off the nonexistent dust on his body. With a gentle and polite smile, he commented, "Zhou Zhanyun, you see, I told you a long time ago that you are a complete monster."
"A monster without any humanity."
Not only did he place an experimental data observer on Ye Si, he also personally made some modifications to his own body.
If this isn't a monster, then what is?
At first, Ye Si thought that the abnormality in himself was caused by Song's father, but later he gradually realized that Song's father might just be the one who planted the seeds, and Zhou Zhanyun was the one who actually promoted the growth of this seed. Because he wanted the data of this experiment, he wanted to do it, so he did it.
For no reason.
In response to Ye Si's comment, a fierce palm wind attacked. Ye Si tilted his head slowly and avoided it. "It's really beyond my expectation that your special ability can be exposed by anger."
Or, it should be said that Ye Si did not expect that Zhou Zhanyun would become so out of control because of Qingqing.
As he spoke, he dodged, and Ye Si glanced at the girl who was squatting in the corner watching the two of them fighting like two wild beasts.
When Song Qingqing was mentioned, there was a slight ripple in Zhou Zhanyun's silver-gray eyes. Although it was only for a moment, it was enough for Ye Si to catch it. The smile on his handsome face became even more unrestrained.
Ye Si casually threw away the glasses that Zhou Zhanyun had broken, slowly folded up the sleeves of his shirt, and then rushed towards Zhou Zhanyun without warning, and the two of them started fighting.
Song Qingqing squatted silently in the corner, lowered her head, and did not dare to look.
This seemed to be the first time she saw Zhou Zhanyun react so uncontrollably and angrily. He must have heard what she said.
The fight between the two ended quickly. As expected, Zhou Zhanyun won. He didn't even take off his white lab coat, nor did he unbutton any button. He raised his leg and let go of Ye Si who was kicked into the wall. Then he took out an alcohol wipe from his coat pocket and slowly wiped the blood stains on his hands. He couldn't tell whether it was his or Ye Si's.
However, judging from the freshness of the blood, it was probably Zhou Zhanyun's own, because he gave up using his supernatural powers in the end and chose to hit with his fists, and his strength was merciless.
Zhou Zhanyun stood in the only relatively clean corner, wiping it carefully over and over again. From his repetitive movements, it was clear that his mood at the moment was extremely bad. He didn't even leave out any bloodstains between his fingers or on his fingertips.
After wiping it clean, Zhou Zhanyun threw the blood-stained wipes away with an expressionless face. He then turned around, picked up Song Qingqing, who was hiding in the corner like a mushroom, and left. He said calmly, "Old rules, whoever loses cleans up this place. You're a zombie now, so I think dealing with these things is no problem at all."
Ye Si sat in the rubble, his once clean shirt now a horrible sight. He twitched his lips, staring at Zhou Zhanyun's tall back, and said with a smile, "Zhou Zhanyun, can you really understand the emotions between humans?"
Zhou Zhanyun paused for only a moment and then quickly left.
For him, it doesn’t matter whether he can understand the emotions between humans or not. As long as Song Qingqing is by his side, he will understand it sooner or later.
He had never cared about these things before, but Ye Si's appearance reminded him that it was time to learn these things.
After returning to the residence, Zhou Zhanyun sat on the sofa with no expression, while Song Qingqing sat nervously on another single sofa, habitually tugging at the hem of her clothes.
She looked up at Zhou Zhanyun cautiously, then froze in place.
Because she saw the red bloodstains on Zhou Zhanyun's white lab coat seeping out little by little. It seemed that Zhou Zhanyun was in trouble too, and was probably injured.
But Zhou Zhanyun did not treat his wound. He pulled out the scalpel that was stuck in his body from his pocket, and then threw it on the table. The pain spread, but it only made his mind clearer. He raised his eyes quietly and met Song Qingqing's worried gaze.
He frowned and said something without any reason.
"Do people care about the emotional ties between them?"
"You teach me."
