Feng Guang sat up, holding the cold corpse. Her head was lowered, and the shadow cast by her bangs covered her eyes. She was quiet and obedient like a doll, but the bloodstains on half of her face added an eerie beauty to her appearance.
The travelogue writer said expressionlessly, "Come back with me."
"Who sent you?" Feng Guang lowered his gaze, quietly looking at the person in his arms, or rather... a real corpse.
"Professor Shu."
"Did he send you... to kill my brother?"
"Xia Fengying is already dead; no one killed him."
"He's not dead..."
“Miss Xia.” You Ji sheathed his gun, his tone devoid of any emotion. “Do you think that just because you’ve trained him like a pet, making him dependent on you, he’s still alive?”
"He's still alive...he didn't die..."
The travelogue's eyes narrowed slightly. "By doing this, you're only making him less than a human being."
Yes, these past few days, she has fed him, cleaned him, and even taken him with her wherever she went, holding a rope. Xia Fengying is dead, yet she cannot even give him a proper burial as a human being.
From the very beginning, she was avoiding the issue; she didn't want to think about it, but that doesn't mean she didn't understand it.
But what does it matter? She only ever thought about one thing: that Xia Fengying would be able to return when the story officially began.
The shot in the travelogue shattered all her illusions.
"He's still alive!" Feng Guang quickly pulled out a gun and pointed it at the man in front of her. She raised her head, her eyes filled with ruthlessness, and her expression was unusually cold. "I said he's still alive... He is alive, what right do you have to kill him!"
With a "bang," a bullet entered the man's shoulder, and soon, bright red blood flowed out.
Her hand holding the gun was trembling slightly.
You Ji didn't even frown, seemingly ignoring the injury on his shoulder. He bent down slightly, and just as he reached out his hand, she instinctively grabbed Xia Fengying with one hand and flinched, while her other hand, holding the gun, pressed against his chest. "Don't come any closer!"
The traveler placed his hand on her cheek, and she froze for a moment before his large hand wiped away the bloodstains on half of her face.
"Let's go." Withdrawing his hand, Youji turned around. From beginning to end, he seemed not to have seen her pointing a gun at him.
Feng Guang snapped out of her daze. You Ji's back was completely unguarded. If she fired another shot... But now that she was gradually calming down, she could no longer bring herself to fire.
Yes, she has to go back; only by going back can she find a solution.
After walking a few steps, the traveler turned back and saw the girl struggling to carry a long-dead corpse on her back, so he went back.
Seeing him return, Feng Guang immediately hugged Xia Fengying tightly again, staring at him warily—a protective gesture.
Youji squatted down, not looking at the scenery, but directly grabbing Xia Fengying's hand and carrying her on his back. Then he stood up and glanced indifferently at the girl sitting on the ground, "If we rush back now, we can catch the change of guard time."
Feng Guang suddenly opened her eyes wide, "You're willing... to take my brother back?"
"I only need to make sure that no zombies bite or infect people in the safe zone. I have no interest in anything else." With that, he turned and left, carrying Xia Fengying on his back.
Feng Guang wiped his eyes, immediately stood up, and followed behind him.
