Chapter 216 A Choice
Cheng Jingyi was finally moved by what he heard. He looked at Shen Yisui with a bit of hesitation on his face: "You want to go back to the base camp?"
Shen Yisui still hates zombies in his heart. Even though he is always good at hiding it, Cheng Jingyi can see some clues and clues from his various actions.
Zombies are mutated species that were infected by a virus. In addition, Shen Yu died at the hands of the Zombie King, so it is even more impossible for Shen Yisui to have a good impression of this kind of creature.
This is also one of the reasons why he keeps trying to escape from the zombie base.
Shen Yisui heard the suspicion in Cheng Jingyi's tone, and he said, "It's you who wants to go back. The military and the zombies in the East District are in conflict with each other. You can't go back there, so you have to take back the throne of the Zombie King."
Cheng Jingyi was silent for a moment: "What about you?"
"I'll go back with you." Shen Yisui said.
Today's East District is no longer the East District under the leadership of Shen Yu. After Shen Yu's death, the military leader was replaced and the direction of the military leadership changed drastically.
Shen Yisui has been classified as a dangerous zombie and is a key target for killing. In addition, Shen Heng and the directors of the orphanage are also in the East District, so it is even more impossible for Shen Yisui to return there.
It was fine that he didn't know about their private entanglement before, but now there was absolutely no way he would go back and seek death.
What's more...
Shen Yisui smelled the bitter herb on Cheng Jingyi's body. His current condition no longer allowed him to smoke a few cigarettes from time to time to soothe his nerves. The smell lingering around Cheng Jingyi was mostly bloody, mixed with the smell of plants, forming a dead air that stimulated his nerves.
What's more, Cheng Jingyi is still in the West District.
He doesn't have many friends, and his parents died after the end of the world. As for Shen Heng... he is now an important military officer.
It is not certain that he would show mercy to Cheng Jingyi. In the end times, to what extent can the so-called brotherhood between them be maintained?
Shen Yisui always thinks of the worst side of things. Cheng Jingyi is in a bad condition now, and he doesn't feel comfortable leaving him to anyone.
Cheng Jing noticed that Shen Yisui looked serious and didn't seem to be lying, so he turned his eyes slightly and asked, "You're going back to the base camp with me? Aren't you afraid that the zombies will eat you?"
Shen Yisui sighed helplessly: "There's nothing I can do about it. You won't let me leave by myself."
Cheng Jingyi pursed his lips and said, "You really know how to talk."
Shen Yisui silently lowered his eyes, followed Cheng Jingyi and walked two steps, his pupils turned to the side: "I'm a little hungry, can you give me something to eat?"
Cheng Jingyi was still holding the zippered backpack in his arms. He lowered his eyes, unzipped it, took out a bag of biscuits and said, "Here."
Shen Yisui reached out to take it. As soon as he tore open the package, he felt his clothes being pulled down.
Ruo Ruo whimpered twice weakly beside him.
Shen Yisui didn't say much and simply gave him half of the biscuit in his hand.
Ruo Ruo took the biscuit and walked to the side. He found a chair and sat down alone. Before eating, he sniffed the biscuit with his nose.
The same biscuit aroma as before, but mixed with some other scents.
Shen Yisui's figure was reflected in his weak pupils. He smelled the familiar smell in the air again and swallowed unconsciously.

There were a lot of things in Ruo Ruo's backpack, but only enough for a child for three or four days. Now that the three of them were sharing, the food started to run out in less than two days.
Shen Yisui carefully read dozens of pages of the unsealed book during these two days.
He was now certain who the owner of the book was. The good friend of "Shen Yisui" when he was young, the son of the Cheng family whom "Shen Yisui" tried to replace when he was young...all the clues pointed to Shen Heng.
Shen Yisui didn't know that so many things happened in their childhood.
He was a loner at the time and rarely played with other children. Also, because of his parents' problems, many other children excluded him intentionally or unintentionally.
However, these people only dared to talk about it in secret, and only Shen Heng often provoked him in front of him.
At that time, Shen Yisui was still Shen Cheng. He had a bad temper. Every time Shen Heng came, he would fight with Shen Heng. No one could bully him. Shen Cheng knew in his heart that if he retreated once, there would be countless times next time, so he had to defeat Shen Heng from the beginning.
After the first few beatings, Shen Heng never bothered Shen Cheng again. He often stayed with Shen Yisui, and later the two of them moved to the second floor, which had better facilities.
Shen Cheng didn't care about these. He lived alone in a room on the first floor and felt it was much quieter.
Shen Yisui still comes to see Shen Cheng occasionally. Shen Cheng is a loner and has difficulty fitting into the group, so he always goes alone.
At that time, Shen Yisui saw that he ate poorly, so he would secretly share some of his food with him.
Shen Cheng remembered the glass of milk that Shen Yisui gave him. He had not been able to taste the better food on the first floor and usually had only plain soup.
To some extent, Shen Yisui helped Shen Cheng a lot.
So when the orphanage caught fire, Shen Cheng rushed in and dragged Shen Yisui out after learning that he was trapped inside. He was severely burned and passed out.
That choice changed the fate of all of them.
