Chapter 208 On the way out

Shen Yisui's voice came from the room inside. Cheng Jingyi turned his eyes to the side and saw Shen Yisui walking towards him with a garbage bag.

He hadn't eaten much of what was in there, so now he took it all out.

Cheng Jingyi didn't have any objections. He took the garbage bag and said, "Follow me."

Shen Yisui nodded, grabbed a corner of Cheng Jingyi's clothes with his fingers, and followed him unconsciously.

"Why is your bag so much lighter?" Cheng Jingyi seemed to be teasing Shen Yisui on purpose. He put the bag in his hand and measured it, then said, "It looks like you ate a lot."

Shen Yisui remained calm. He turned to Cheng Jingyi with an ambiguous look in his eyes and said calmly, "I didn't eat much. I guess there are mice in the house."

There was a strong implication in his words. Cheng Jingyi curled his lips and pulled the edge of Shen Yisui's clothes towards him: "Oh, then why don't you kill it?"

"I can't catch it. It runs too fast and hides." Shen Yisui said. He reached out and grabbed Cheng Jingyi's clothes again and followed him. "You are walking too fast."

Cheng Jingyi looked worried. He heard the voice stop and looked at Shen Yisui: "Hurry up."

Shen Yisui pretended not to hear anything. His steps were not only not quick, but even slower than before.

Cheng Jingyi clicked his tongue, grabbed Shen Yisui's wrist with one hand, and walked quickly forward with him.

After the two left, the house returned to its former emptiness. The cold wind that came in from the window whistled and blew the plastic garbage bags in the house.

All the food in the garbage bags was taken away, leaving only a few empty shells.

About ten minutes later, there was another rustling sound in the house. A short child crawled out from under the bed, holding two sausages in each hand and chewing something slowly in his mouth.

The air still held the scent of the two people who had been there before. The child quickly ran to the door, raised his head and sniffed the air, then quickly ran down the stairs.

The new place Cheng Jingyi found to live was some distance away from the rotten tail building.

Shen Yisui didn't know the specific situation, but he learned from Cheng Jingyi that the place was three or four kilometers away from their current location, close to the zombie base that Cheng Jingyi had previously ruled.

Shen Yisui believed in Cheng Jingyi's perception ability. He followed Cheng Jingyi for most of the distance and found that Cheng Jingyi had been deliberately avoiding the places where zombies appeared along the way.

But he is the Zombie King, why should he be afraid of these low-level zombies?

These zombies are of the same kind as him, and Cheng Jingyi can use them to return to the original zombie base. Moreover, Cheng Jingyi has not lost his memory at all, so if he wants to take Shen Yisui back to the concentration area again, it should not be difficult.

But he had no intention of returning to the zombie base.

Shen Yisui followed Cheng Jingyi. After they passed several rugged mountain roads, Shen Yisui heard the growling of zombies in the distance again.

As usual, Cheng Jingyi changed direction and took another route closer to the location he had determined.

Shen Yi quickened his pace. He listened to the sounds of the zombies fading away and suddenly guessed why Cheng Jingyi did not return to the zombie base.

In fact, there is only one obvious reason.

The zombies worship strength and violence. After the death of the previous zombie king, Cheng Jingyi replaced him. Now he is ostracized by the zombies and even has difficulty returning to his original place. There is no other reason.

The Zombie King has been replaced by a new one.

Cheng Jingyi was seriously injured and his rank was downgraded. He and Shen Yisui hid in a dilapidated building and tried to survive.

The zombies will not waste time waiting for a king whose whereabouts are unknown to return. They don't have much humanity, and after Cheng Jingyi disappeared, the high-level zombies will immediately welcome the new zombie king.

As the old king, Cheng Jingyi will inevitably be excluded and abandoned.

Shen Yisui lowered his eyes. He still didn't know why Cheng Jingyi appeared beside him. He also didn't know what earth-shaking changes had happened outside in the ten hours after his death.

"Cheng Jingyi, where are you going next?" Shen Yi asked casually.

Cheng Jingyi kept moving. He grabbed Shen Yisui's wrist, and his purpose was clear at this time: "West District."

The West District is where zombies gather, and the East District is now under the control of the military. As the former Zombie King, Cheng Jingyi would never seek death by going to the East District and giving away his life to the military.

Cheng Jingyi's answer was within Shen Yi's expectations. Thinking of his current situation, he didn't know what decision to make for a moment.

He was killed by the military. Although we don't know why, he was shot by these people on the edge of the cliff.

Now that Shen Yu is dead and the military commander has been replaced, if Shen Yisui were to go back with this dead body, he would most likely be mistaken for a zombie and have his head stabbed through.

"Come back to the West District with me." Cheng Jingyi's voice suddenly sounded from the side. He has never had much patience. After he finished speaking, he pinched the skin on Shen Yisui's wrist with his fingernails as if warning.

Shen Yisui opened his eyes slightly and said honestly, "I don't have much fighting ability, and I can't run faster than others. If I go there with you, I might be eaten by zombies. So... are you sure you want to drag me along?"

"They can't eat you." Cheng Jingyi held Shen Yisui's wrist tightly, his tone inexplicably firm.

Shen Yisui raised his eyes: "Really? Why?"

"Because I will eat you before they eat you."

Shen Yisui: "..."

"There's not even a bone left. They can't share it."

Shen Yisui: "..."

He's really crazy. It's a waste of time to talk to him.

Shen Yisui had a blank expression on his face. His wrist was tightly held by Cheng Jingyi and he couldn't pull it back. He simply kept his mouth shut during the second half of the journey.

Cheng Jingyi led Shen Yisui and quickly crossed the long-dilapidated cement avenue. He sensed the layout of the surrounding buildings and sorted out the activities of all people and zombies within a radius of several hundred meters.

"Walk in front of me, don't look back, just keep going forward." Cheng Jingyi paused, he didn't know what he sensed, he grabbed Shen Yisui and pushed him forward suddenly.

Shen Yisui staggered forward a few steps. Just as Cheng Jingyi's voice fell in his ears, a gunshot exploded from not far away.

The bullet penetrated the surface of the garbage bag on Shen Yisui's head and passed by his cheek almost touching it, scratching his skin and causing a large area of ​​burning pain on Shen Yisui's face.

"Target locked. Following orders from superiors, concentrate firepower to strangle the former."

"If you spot a target person who looks like Shen Yisui, shoot him immediately... Aim at the target..."

Cheng Jingyi stuffed all the garbage bags in his hands into Shen Yisui's hands. He crushed a few bullets with his mental power and said to Shen Yisui, "You go first. I told you the route. Go straight ahead and turn left. There are high-level zombies there. Be careful..."
