Chapter 88: The End of the World, I Cheated First [End]



The supplies near the safe base had been almost looted, and Yang Sheng finally decided to try his luck somewhere farther away.

Cheng Ye suggested, "There's a university town over there on Chang'an Road, so there shouldn't be much there. But there's a military service center over there in Yanta District, and there's also an underground supermarket. I wonder if there's anything left there."

Tong Fan was excited, stroking his chin as he said, "I know, I know. That military service center was quite large. I guess someone must have touched it, but it's impossible that there's nothing left."

Others should go and see it too.

The team members set out early the next morning and drove all day before arriving at what they called the military service center in the afternoon. They parked the car on the side of the road. Upon hearing the noise, the zombies immediately rushed over excitedly with their fangs and claws bared. They were all hit by fireballs or lightning. One zombie was even impaled in the air by a plant that suddenly grew out.

Cheng Ye: “…”

Wang Hai scratched his head sheepishly, his apology lacking sincerity but full of boasting: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I just advanced and can't control my powers well yet!"

Tong Fan rolled his eyes: "Next time I advance and can't control my superpowers, I'll be the first to burn you to death!"

Wang Hai: “…”

"Roar!" A nimble zombie suddenly jumped out from the corner of the street. Yang Sheng reacted quickly and pulled Cheng Ye and hid aside.

He narrowed his eyes slowly: "Be careful, the zombies here are of a high level."

Upon hearing this, everyone's heart raced, their spirits immediately tensed up, and they were fully prepared for the zombies that might suddenly appear.

Cheng Ye suddenly paused. Yang Sheng noticed something was wrong with him and immediately asked, "What's wrong?"

"Suddenly, I had a headache." Cheng Ye pressed his solar plexus and glanced around. "Something's not right. Could it be a high-level zombie?"

The government just announced some time ago that the level of zombies is increasing day by day, and even zombies can use superpowers, which is very scary.

Tong Fan's face instantly turned sad: "No way, our luck can't be that bad."

"Focus and be careful. There's a lot of traffic here before the apocalypse, so there must be a lot of zombies too." Yang Sheng narrowed his eyes slowly, "It could be a mental attack!"

Wang Hai said with a serious face: "Psychic ability!"

Tong Fan sucked in a breath of cold air. How come the first time he encountered a zombie with superpowers, the powers were so tricky, without any transition at all? Isn't this going to kill him?

Yang Sheng calmly spread out his mental power, trying to distinguish...

"Swish--" A zombie pounced on him again. This time Cheng Ye did not dodge. He just turned his body slightly and let the zombie wave its dirty hands to grab his chest. Yang Sheng had a cold face. He grabbed the zombie's arms from behind and swung the machete at the back of the zombie's head!

Unexpectedly, this zombie suddenly unleashed its enormous potential before dying. It leaped forward fiercely, and the entire zombie almost jumped into Cheng Ye's arms. Cheng Ye was standing in the corner, with nowhere to hide.

Just when the zombie was about to touch Cheng Ye, a black shadow suddenly pounced and hugged Cheng Ye tightly.

Cheng Ye was stunned, his eyes widened, and he shouted, "Zheng Fei!"

Zheng Fei raised his pale and thin face and curled the corners of his lips: "Cheng Ye, actually, I really like you." I was just confused by Cheng Baiyan for a moment, but it was wrong.

Zheng Fei was wearing thin clothes, with a big hole on the back of his clothes. One could faintly see several blackened scars on his skin underneath, indicating that he had been infected with the zombie virus.

Cheng Ye suddenly grabbed Zheng Fei's shoulders: "You..."

Zheng Fei smiled bitterly, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes: "Cheng Ye, can you say one more thing, that you like me."

Cheng Ye frowned, looking at Zheng Fei's facial features that were about to become ferocious due to his near-zombie sanity. He shook his head in embarrassment and said with a dull look in his eyes: "Zheng Fei, thank you, but I don't love you anymore, I love Yang Sheng."

Yang Sheng, who was originally unhappy, relaxed his expression. Cheng Ye glanced at Yang Sheng and gave him a soothing smile.

Zheng Fei's face turned even paler. He clearly felt that he was about to turn into a zombie, but he didn't hear a single word he wanted to hear. He couldn't close his eyes even if he died.

Zheng Fei frowned, clenching his fists tightly. He finally exhaled and took two steps back. He raised the sharp knife in his hand and stabbed it into his heart. Warm blood, which had not yet completely turned black, splashed on Cheng Ye's face. Zheng Fei smiled and said, "Cheng Ye, although you don't love me anymore, I want you to remember me forever. I died because of you."

Yang Sheng hugged Cheng Ye and gently wiped the dirt off his face. He said coldly, "Zheng Fei, don't make excuses for your escape. I didn't need you to block the knife for Ye Zi just now. You just don't want to live anymore!"

"Maybe you yourself simply can't survive. Cheng Baiyan caught you yesterday, right? The wound has already turned black, right? It's just that it was in the incubation period, so it wasn't detected. Zheng Fei, you knew it last night, right? That's why you were wandering around the living room, unable to sleep, because you were panicking. If you had been thinking about everyone else's well-being, you shouldn't have stayed in the villa at that time. Did you want everyone to be buried with you?"

Tong Fan's eyes widened in shock. He looked at Yang Sheng in panic: "You, how did you know?"

Yang Sheng shook his head. "I wasn't sure at first, I just thought he was acting strangely. I paid more attention to him, and when I saw his eyes today, I... guessed it."

Tong Fan cried out, "Zheng Fei, you, you really want to kill us?! We didn't abandon you even when you became a waste, and now you're repaying kindness with hatred. Zheng Fei, do you have any heart?"

"Yang Sheng, you..." Zheng Fei was breathing more than breathing in. He wanted to refute but found that he could not utter a word, and could not even glare. He could only watch unwillingly as Yang Sheng turned his back to him, holding Cheng Ye tightly in his arms and comforting him gently. Finally, he rolled his eyes and his body twitched constantly.

Zheng Fei held his breath, unable to swallow it. Whenever he thought of Yang Sheng and Cheng Ye's intimate and loving appearance, his chest felt tight and his eyes turned red. He wished he could turn into a zombie and bite Yang Sheng to death, and then die with Cheng Ye.

Cheng Ye loves himself, but it is only because he made some mistakes that the current situation has become like this.

This self-comforting confidence lasted until that night...

They didn't return to the villa that day, and Cheng Ye didn't just abandon Zheng Fei outside. His reason was that Zheng Fei had blocked for him in the end, and when everyone was lamenting that he was so stupid, it was no wonder he was deceived...

In the middle of the night, Cheng Ye knocked gently on Zheng Fei's door. Knowing that Zheng Fei could no longer respond, he gently pushed the door open and went in.

Zheng Fei naturally couldn't sleep. His mind was full of regret and dejection. He kept thinking that if he could live his life again, he would never let Cheng Ye down and get involved with that bitch.

The slight noise startled Zheng Fei. When he saw that it was Cheng Ye, a smile immediately appeared on his face. But when he saw Yang Sheng who was following Cheng Ye, his face turned pale again.

Seeing the expression on his face change so quickly, Cheng Ye couldn't help but laugh. The next words would make Zheng Fei's face change even more, almost like a color palette.

Zheng Fei said weakly, forcing a smile: "You're here?"

"Well, seeing your miserable appearance, I was so happy that I couldn't sleep. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to see you tomorrow morning, so I came down to see you." Cheng Ye smiled.

Zheng Fei was stunned for a moment, seemingly unable to react to what he was saying or suspecting he might have misheard. He stared at Cheng Ye, trying to find the subtle expression on his face and deduce what he meant.

Cheng Ye sneered and pulled Cheng Ye to sit on the sofa beside him: "Do you think I am here to have an affair with you because I still have feelings for you?"

Zheng Fei's expression froze for a moment, and he opened his mouth: "Ye Zi, you..."

Cheng Ye rolled his eyes. "To be honest with you, I don't have any feelings for you at all. Even if I agreed to date you, it was only because I found you annoying. Firstly, I felt that the circumstances at the time forced me to do so. If I rejected you, I would probably be called cold-blooded or something. Secondly, I was thinking of finding a detective to get some dirty news about you while we were dating, so that everyone could see Carney's true face. But I didn't expect that we hadn't done anything yet. It's the end of the world..."

Cheng Ye sighed, feeling a little regretful that he hadn't accomplished what he had said. "But your fate isn't too bad now, so I've finally put my mind at ease." Having said that, Cheng Ye turned his head to look at Yang Sheng's expressionless and resolute face, smiled, and said, "Thank you."

The laughter in his tone was completely different from the sarcastic laugh he had just used when talking to him. It was soft and gentle. Zheng Fei's eyes immediately widened and he stared at Cheng Ye in shock!

Cheng Ye took Yang Sheng's hand and placed it on her thigh, playing with those slender fingers with big joints. "Zheng Fei, don't you feel that I treat Tong Fan better than you?"

It's not that he didn't feel anything, it's just that Cheng Ye had always been aloof and arrogant, and he was a straight man before, so Zheng Fei had always thought that Cheng Ye was just not used to the change in their relationship. He didn't expect that...

Cheng Ye seemed to sense what he was thinking and sneered, "I'm not straight, I just don't like you, so I made an excuse. Who knew you were like a dog-skin plaster, sticking to me and I can't tear it off, and it even smells." He pinched Yang Sheng's fingertips, as if thinking of something funny, and chuckled, "I really don't know where you get the courage and confidence. You want everything but you're chasing me?"

After a pause, he continued, "But I'm really afraid of scoundrels like you. It's because you have nothing that you're fearless. There were a lot of news reports about people who killed people out of anger because they couldn't get what they wanted. I think you have the potential to be a pervert. After all... normal people wouldn't be so blindly arrogant, right?"

Zheng Fei suddenly arched his body and gasped rapidly. His eyes were red and he gasped with his mouth wide open, but he could not utter a word. He could only make a hoarse and unpleasant sound like a bellows.

Cheng Ye tried his best to smile without looking disgusted with him, but after all, he didn't want to waste his energy on acting at this moment, and it couldn't stop him from looking at him as if he was looking at something dirty.

"Seeing you and Cheng Baiyan together is hilarious to me. Birds of a feather flock together. Trash automatically stick together, saving me a bit of effort. Your filthy relationship alone is enough to bring ruin to both of your reputations..."

Cheng Ye suddenly smiled and tilted his head to look at Zheng Fei: "Do you think I'm cute and adorable, so you don't doubt you at all?"

Zheng Fei's pupils suddenly shrank.

Cheng Ye laughed a few times and shook his head. "How naive! Normally when you're alone, I'm afraid you'll dirty my eyes. What's more... I'm afraid of being blinded by the spiciness..." He muttered, "Stupid thing, how can you not be jealous of the person you like?"

Yang Sheng's back stiffened and he subconsciously looked at Cheng Ye's face.

Cheng Ye was completely unaware and didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said.

Zheng Fei's face was hideous, with veins bulging on his forehead. Because of the excitement, the zombie virus in his body completely invaded his heart veins, and he was basically turning into a zombie. He straightened his neck, and his whole body was tense like a stick: "No, it's impossible, you lied to me!" He didn't believe it. In Cheng Ye's mouth, he was like a joke, and he had been acting like a monkey for so long!

"Tsk, you're so clueless!" But if he could quickly face reality, he wouldn't be Zheng Fei anymore. Cheng Ye lazily leaned over and kissed Yang Sheng on the corner of his mouth. As expected, he saw Zheng Fei's bloodshot eyes that were almost about to pop out. He squinted his eyes and said, "Yang Sheng and I have been together for a long time. He fell in love with me at first sight. I think he has good conditions. The reason why he lives on the third floor is to make it convenient for us to date, but..." He scratched his face in distress, "Even though I know your true face, it seems that your roommates have been fooled by your pretense of being a gentleman. I can't break up with you right away and be with Yang Sheng. Otherwise, they will look at us with tinted glasses no matter what, so..."

He smiled and said, "I've been trying to bring you and Cheng Baiyan together. Not only have I created the conditions for you to be together, but I've also been goading Cheng Baiyan into showing off your affection in front of everyone. But in the end, I have to thank Cheng Baiyan for the medicine she gave me. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to live together openly so soon, right?"

“You! You! You!”

"What's wrong with me? Am I smart?"

Cheng Ye looked smug, as if he was proud of himself for setting up such a trap. "Oh, by the way, you see how thoughtful I was. I was afraid that you would show a dejected look, saying that if you were wrong, I must forgive you, and stand on the moral high ground to force me to forgive you, then..."

He glanced at Zheng Fei's lower body and said, "Fortunately, everyone knows that you are not a good match. You don't necessarily want to get back together with me because you love me. It's very likely that you think I am a good person and want me to take in your garbage. So you see, no one persuaded me to forgive you. They all think I am very pitiful, which is why I was chosen by someone like you..."

"you……"

"What else can you say besides this word?" Zheng Fei's face was bluish-gray, his skin had slowly become stiff, and his tongue was probably already straight, so he certainly couldn't speak.

Cheng Ye turned around and asked Yang Sheng: "What should we do? Throw him out to feed the zombies or kill him directly?"

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Yang Sheng's eyes: "Kill him!" Not only because keeping him would be a nuisance, but also because... Even if Cheng Ye had never liked Zheng Fei, it was a fact that he was entangled by Zheng Fei.

When Yang Sheng thought about Cheng Ye’s compromise because of Zheng Fei’s annoyance, he felt inexplicably irritated.

Although he probably wouldn't have caught Cheng Ye's eye without Zheng Fei, Yang Sheng still felt annoyed by Zheng Fei and couldn't resist the urge to kill Zheng Fei on the spot and completely sever the relationship between them.

Just then, there was a slight noise at the door. Cheng Ye turned his head and found Tong Fan standing at the door looking inside.

After Tong Fan saw that it was the two of them, he patted his chest and walked in: "You scared me! It's so late, why are you two still not sleeping?"

Cheng Ye's face looked like he was wearing a mask, his eyes instantly became embarrassed, and he glanced at Zheng Fei.

This pretentious attitude further stimulated Zheng Fei, and his whole body began to shake violently.

Tong Fan exclaimed, "Wow!" He had originally wanted to take a closer look, but he hurried over to Cheng Ye and said with lingering fear, "Is he sick?"

Cheng Ye paused, nodded, and then hurriedly said, "It's okay. He's tied up with ropes. He can't break free."

But Tong Fan still didn't let down his guard. He blinked and asked, "It's confirmed that he will turn into a zombie. Do you want to kill him?"

There wasn't even a trace of the friendship they once had as roommates or friends in their words.

Tong Fan finished speaking, and before Cheng Ye could respond, he gave a wry smile and said bitterly, "Ye Zi, I don't know what to say. It's impossible to say that I'm not touched at all. After all, even if he was a stranger, it wouldn't be pleasant to watch him turn into a zombie and then have to deal with him. What's more, he's... someone you've known for such a long time, but..."

Tong Fan scratched his head, as if afraid of being disliked by the kind-hearted Cheng Ye, and hurriedly explained, "We've seen everything Brother Zheng has done recently. When he was the captain, he repeatedly put us in danger. Wang Hai almost died at the hands of zombies several times, but he didn't even blink, as if it had nothing to do with him. I'm afraid...scared...that sooner or later, he will kill us!"

"Later, something happened to Brother Zheng and he retreated to the back. We all breathed a sigh of relief. After all... we've all seen Yang Sheng's abilities. At least he wouldn't put us in danger. Even if anything really happened to us, Yang Sheng would definitely not ignore us!"

Tong Fan glanced at Yang Sheng gratefully and continued, "But seeing Zheng Fei, who has lost his fighting spirit and keeps pestering you, we are all filled with resentment. We are all afraid. Brother Zheng, he, he..."

"His mental state is clearly not right, especially since he's still like that... That's a huge blow to a man. We're worried that he's mentally twisted and will... give you... He's always been a bomb to us. One day he'll blow us all up, but at least we all escaped together. Zheng Fei is ruthless and ungrateful, so we can't be mean to him too. Wouldn't it be hypocritical to say we're righteous but actually be the same as him? But... now we don't have to make a choice, and we're all relieved..."

Tong Fan felt a little embarrassed after saying this: "I seem to have... become bad."

Cheng Ye stepped forward, hugged him, and patted his back: "No, I was forced to do so. It's their fault. You have been very merciful." If it were someone else, they would have cut the two shameless people, Zheng Fei and Cheng Baiyan, into pieces and hung them at the door of the safe base for public display.

Yang Sheng frowned, walked forward, grabbed Cheng Ye's collar and pulled him into his arms.

Tong Fan: "..." Before she had time to feel sad, the atmosphere was ruined. She looked at Cheng Ye and Yang Sheng with a confused look on her face.

When Tong Fan said these words, Zheng Fei had not completely lost his will. His eyes were unfocused and he was struggling violently, with a crystal light flashing in the corner of his eyes.

I never cried when I was a human, but I didn’t expect that I would shed tears after becoming a zombie.

But——Tong Fan jumped in fright: "Oh my God, let's deal with it first, it's too dangerous to stay here."

Cheng Ye glanced back and happened to see Zheng Fei's last resentful look. He smiled at Zheng Fei from an angle where Tong Fan couldn't see. When he turned back, his face was already more tired. He pressed his forehead and walked out holding Yang Sheng's arm: "I'm tired. I'm going to sleep first."

After saying that, he left without looking back.

When Zheng Fei first turned into a zombie, he had no killing power at all and was tied to the bed. If Tong Fan couldn't even kill him, then there was no point in him surviving in the apocalypse.

It’s so late. If I don’t go to sleep now, I won’t be energetic tomorrow.

Fortunately, Tong Fan behind him thought that he couldn't bear to see Zheng Fei's end and hurried away, otherwise he wouldn't be so anxious and hurried, and even his steps were a little messy.

He looked at Cheng Ye's embarrassed back, shook his head, and then looked at Zheng Fei with a look of disdain and contempt in his eyes. He said hesitantly, "I've never seen such an ungrateful person..."

He raised his hand, and the entire bed suddenly burst into flames half a person's height. Because the bed was covered with bedding, the fire burned very quickly, but it was limited to the bed.

Tong Fan looked at Zheng Fei's ferocious face being licked by flames, opened his mouth, turned around and left.

There were bursts of roars coming from behind, but they soon weakened and disappeared completely after a while.

More than a week passed, and 666 kept asking, "Ye Zi, are you really leaving? But Yang Sheng, are you willing to let go?"

Cheng Ye looked at Yang Sheng's slightly softened facial features after he fell asleep, pursed his lips, and stroked his eyebrows with his fingers: "Maybe, you are a little reluctant to let him go." Yang Sheng was too good, so good that he couldn't believe it.

666 felt his emotional ups and downs and felt distressed, so she stopped asking him questions.

Cheng Ye glanced at Yang Sheng with nostalgia, leaned over and kissed him lightly on the face, biting Yang Sheng's sexy earlobe and whispered, "Yang Sheng, I love you."

Yang Sheng was dazed and subconsciously grabbed his hand, pulled it in front of him and kissed it: "Hmm..."

Cheng Ye arched his eyebrows and smiled sincerely from the bottom of his heart: "Thank you, thank you very much."

He always said he wanted to find someone who loved him wholeheartedly, but he knew in his heart that no matter what, the aftereffects of the trauma he had suffered were very serious, like the vicissitudes of life. It would be difficult to change his thoughts and opinions. Unexpectedly...

He actually met that person.

The appearance of Yang Sheng made him realize that there was really someone who loved him wholeheartedly!

If possible, Cheng Ye...even didn't want to leave, but...it's impossible, isn't it.

Cheng Ye kissed the corner of Yang Sheng's mouth again, closed his eyes, and after a few seconds, Yang Sheng was the only one left on the bed.

Yang Sheng seemed to have sensed something in his sleep. He frowned and tried to grab Cheng Ye, but because he was hypnotized by 666 without any preparation, he would not wake up until dawn.

When he woke up, Cheng Ye... had already completely disappeared from this world and would never come back.
