Chapter 199 The Use of Water

Shen Yi took out a few paper balls from his suit pants.

I don't know when Cheng Jingyi stuffed it in, but the tissue was crumpled into a ball and there was no other stuff wrapped inside.

Shen Yisui unfolded the tissue. He didn't feel his behavior was strange at all. He put the unfolded tissue under his nose and smelled it.

I smelled a very slight scent of blood.

Shen Yisui frowned. He couldn't see the specific situation on the tissue. After rubbing it with his fingertips for a while, he crumpled the tissue into a ball again and stuffed it into his pocket.

There had been no sound in the next room for a while. Cheng Jingyi banged his head against the bed several times to no avail, and finally the noise stopped.

Shen Yisui half leaned against the wall. He could not hear any other people talking around him. There was only the rustling sound of a cold wind of unknown origin.

After about four or five minutes, Shen Yisui got up from the bed again and walked towards the next room.

"Cheng Jingyi?"

Cheng Jingyi remained silent as before, his face buried in the dark shadow cast by the wall. When he heard the sound, he simply opened his eyes again.

Shen Yisui knew that he was still awake, so he walked to the bed and sat on the same chair as before.

"Cheng Jingyi, do you remember who I am?"

The room was empty for a few seconds. Cheng Jingyi didn't move at all and said, "Shen Yisui."

"Oh...you remember my name." Shen Yisui was a little surprised. He continued to ask, "Then do you know who I am?"

Cheng Jingyi turned and looked at him.

"Do you know what my relationship with you is?"

Cheng Jingyi didn't answer. He just looked at Shen Yisui, as if repeating himself, or asking in return: "What is the relationship between you and me?"

No one answered his question. Cheng Jingyi closed his eyes and turned his face to the inside: "I don't know."

"It's normal not to know. I have nothing to do with you." Shen Yisui's tone was flat. He looked at the darkness in front of him and spoke.

"After we leave the West District, you go back to where you should go, and I go... to where I should go. We have different paths, and we don't have any conflicting interests. Can we just get along peacefully for the time being?"

Cheng Jing leaned his head against the edge of the wall. He didn't say a word, but just stared forward, and used his fingers to tighten the wooden board at the edge of the bed.

Shen Yisui did not hear Cheng Jingyi's answer. He lowered his eyelids, sat in the room for less than five minutes, and then walked out.

It followed Shen Yi in a desperate attempt to survive. It turned around and looked around. It felt that the place was extremely dark. The brightness of the lights was completely eroded. Even the moonlight did not fall.

It held the data board in its hand and said to Shen Yisui: "According to my data, your relationship with Cheng Jingyi is not ordinary."

Shen Yisui smiled: "You didn't say I was just cannon fodder number N? I'm afraid I don't have much to do with these big characters."

Gou Qie Tou Sheng said, "That's not necessarily true. Cannon fodder also has its own role. Now that Cheng Jingyi is still by your side, doesn't it mean that you have had an influence on him?"

"That's just the impact of a grain of sand on the ocean." Shen Yisui walked in the aisle. He always walked differently from ordinary people, slowly and carefully.

Shen Yisui raised his head: "When he looked at me, he was also sand."

Survive and survive: "..."

"Can you please speak something normal?" Gou Qie secretly asked, "If you talk to me about philosophy, I won't understand you."

"...This is not philosophy." Shen Yisui continued to walk forward. He had no intention of explaining too much to Gouqiu Toutousheng, and said, "Anyway, I just said it casually, you don't have to care."

The orange light on Gouchu Tuosheng's body kept flashing. It snorted, flew back to its original place and did not continue talking to Shen Yisui.

When Shen Yisui woke up the next day, he felt hungry.

He didn't know what time it was when he woke up. After the apocalypse, the sky was covered with dark clouds most of the time. There was no light at night, and during the day, it was still gloomy and dead.

Shen Yisui couldn't see the specific situation. He rummaged through some water bottles from the discarded cabinet, some of which were expired or not. The water had a strong rusty smell, so Shen Yisui reluctantly took two sips and rinsed his mouth.

The waste water in the sink was even dirtier and connected to the sewer. Shen Yisui couldn't drink it just by smelling the smell.

Cheng Jingyi was still sleeping in the next room. After Shen Yisui finished talking to him last night, Cheng Jingyi had not made any further sound.

Cheng Jingyi is half human and half zombie, and his body functions and metabolism are different from those of ordinary people.

Shen Yisui walked to the edge of his bed, still relying on Cheng Jingyi's breathing frequency to judge his condition.

"I'm going out with you today. There's nothing to eat at home." Shen Yisui untied the hemp rope tied to Cheng Jingyi. He held Cheng Jingyi's wrist and pulled him up. "Go to the toilet first, then rinse your mouth."

Cheng Jingyi was tied up for a whole night, and his muscles and bones were a little stiff.

He sat up with the help of his arm, his voice a little hoarse: "I'm not going."

Shen Yisui frowned slightly when he heard this: "Aren't you hungry?"

Cheng Jingyi sneered: "Not hungry."

Shen Yisui: "You're not going to the toilet either?"

Cheng Jingyi turned his head away: "It has nothing to do with you."

"..." Shen Yisui touched his abdomen with his palm, and he suddenly pressed down a few times with his fingers, and heard Cheng Jingyi's breathing become disordered for a moment.

"Are you going?"

Cheng Jingyi bit his back teeth silently, then he rolled over from the bed, said stiffly after a moment of silence, "Untie my feet."

Shen Yisui didn't care much. He groped his way to Cheng Jingyi's ankle and untied the hemp rope.

"I'll go with you."

Cheng Jingyi glanced at Shen Yisui's blind eyes, then walked out the door.

A gust of cold wind blew across Shen Yisui's face. Shen Yisui stood up and clearly felt that Cheng Jingyi's mental state today was much better than yesterday.

Yesterday he only remembered the food in his mouth, but now he can talk to Shen Yisui normally.

It seems that his recovery speed is far beyond that of ordinary zombies.

Shen Yisui walked slowly to the bathroom and heard the noise from inside at the door. Cheng Jingyi's hands were still able to move, and he had already solved most of the problems by himself.

Shen Yisui handed him the bottle of mineral water in the room. Cheng Jingyi stood there for a moment, then reached out to take it.

The water in the mineral bottle made a gurgling sound. Shen Yisui stood aside and listened, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"What are you doing?"

Cheng Jingyi had already screwed the bottle cap on, and most of the water inside was gone. He glanced at the bottle and said, "Wash your hands."

Shen Yisui: "...That's for you to rinse your mouth."

"No." Cheng Jingyi said, "I need to wash my hands after going to the toilet."

At this moment, Cheng Jingyi suddenly regained his awareness and habits as a human being.

Shen Yisui didn't want to argue with a fool. He asked, "You used all the water in the bottle to wash your hands. What are you going to do tomorrow?"

Cheng Jingyi squeezed the mineral water bottle in his hand until it creaked. He seemed to be thinking, but after just a few seconds he spoke again: "There is water in the supermarket downstairs."

Shen Yisui paused and asked, "Are you sure?"
