Chapter 217 The Reason

No one knew why Shen Yisui wanted to run away.

Shen Cheng was seriously burned, and Shen Yisui was not much better. He lived in the ward closest to Shen Cheng, but he risked his life to escape from the hospital through the window.

Shen Cheng didn't know the reason before, but now after reading the contents of the book, he finally grasped a few clues.

When Shen Yisui was a child, he was harassed by the deputy director of the orphanage. The book does not go into detail about what happened between them. But Shen Cheng could roughly guess what happened based on the description on the paper.

The vice-dean is a pedophile.

This alone was enough for Shen Yisui to find a way to escape from the orphanage.

So he stole Shen Heng's blood.

Only by taking away the blood could Shen Yisui take the opportunity to replace Shen Heng and leave here.

But a fire destroyed all his plans.

When Shen Yisui's theft of Shen Heng's blood was exposed, the Cheng family resolutely abandoned him and took their biological son Shen Heng away.

What should Shen Yisui do after that?

Without the help of the Cheng family, he also lost the only way to leave the orphanage. He will return to the orphanage again, face the deputy director again, and suffer all the things he is unwilling to face again.

There was no way he could stay in the hospital and wait to die.

So he ran away.

The pile of rotten things that were left behind were all thrown onto Shen Cheng.

Today, Shen Cheng can no longer remember what "Shen Yisui" looks like. After losing his sight, the world is completely dark, and Shen Cheng can only rely on sound to judge everything outside.

As for where the original "Shen Yisui" escaped to, Shen Cheng had no idea.

"... Really... You're the only one here?... How are you injured?"

"I got separated from the army... I was shot in the leg..."

"Brother, come back with me to the East District. There is a special zombie base there... I don't want to leave you here alone. Your parents are dead..."

There were intermittent male voices coming from outside the door. Shen Yisui was still sitting on the edge of the bed. He heard the voices coming in from outside and subconsciously grasped the shoulder strap of the backpack in his hand.

He was familiar with that voice. Although he had rarely seen Shen Heng in the East District before, he could still recognize his voice.

...How did Shen Heng find this place?

Shen Yisui frowned, stood up and walked slowly to the wall near the door.

"Don't go over there." Before Shen Yisui opened the door, he felt his thigh tighten.

He lowered his head and heard a weak voice that sounded like crying: "It stinks outside, don't go out."

Shen Yisui: “…What?”

Ruo Ruo spoke vaguely, and he didn't answer when Shen Yisui asked him again.

Seeing the situation, Gouchu Tousheng flew to Shen Yisui's side in time. The orange and yellow light on its body faded away, and was replaced by another red warning color.

"Here it comes! It's here as expected!" Gouqie Tousheng lowered his voice and scurried around. It shrank into a small ball and hid in Shen Yisui's shirt pocket, constantly reminding him, "It's up to you, Shen Yisui! Remember, the best way to survive is to be sneaky. Don't expose your true identity!"

"..." Shen Yisui was silent for a moment, "If you talk less, no one will notice you."

"Hmph!" Gouqiu Tousheng glared at Shen Yisui unhappily, turned his body around and didn't say anything else.

Ruo Ruo was still holding Shen Yisui's thigh. For some reason, his face was wrinkled and he bared his teeth and made a warning sound towards the door.

"I'm not going out, and I didn't intend to go out in the first place." Shen Yisui pressed down on Ruo Ruo's head with his palm, "You go to the side."

Ruo Ruo looked up and sniffed the scent of Shen Yisui. Saliva unconsciously flowed from the corners of his mouth. After the saliva dripped, he simply wiped his chin with Shen Yisui's red cotton pants.

"You smell so good." Ruo Ruo murmured to herself, "As good as me. Did you steal my Dabao Cream?"

Shen Yisui: "..."

"No." As soon as Shen Yisui finished speaking, he felt the bite force on his leg. His eyes were slightly gloomy, and the ice on his hand condensed and pierced into the back of his weak head.

Ruo Ruo was just a low-level zombie with weak fighting ability. Shen Yi could knock him out directly with just a tiny ice spike.

Ruo Ruo suddenly leaned back and was about to fall, but Shen Yisui grabbed his collar with one hand and prevented him from falling to the ground.

This little zombie is no good either. Low-level zombies are all unable to resist the temptation of food, and Ruo Ruo is no exception.

Shen Yisui knew what was in Ruo Ruo's mind the moment he just opened his mouth.

Unfortunately, his disguise was even more clumsy and crude than Cheng Jingyi's. If they wanted to bite off some flesh from Shen Yisui, it looked like they would both need to be beaten a few times before they would behave themselves.

Shen Yisui threw Ruo Ruo to the side of the bed. He had just used a lot of strength, and the ice spike had pierced the back of his head. Ruo Ruo would probably be unconscious for four or five hours.

Shen Yisui didn't care about the life or death of the little zombie. He stood behind the wall, listening silently to the movements outside the door.

"...Why are you still here? Why haven't you gone home?"

"Brother, you left in a hurry that day, and I was worried that you didn't leave. I didn't expect that after you left, the zombies started a riot, and I was also involved... I'm still trying to find a way to contact the military in the East District."

"I met the military on the way here. Three or four kilometers to the southeast, if you go now, you should be able to run into them again."

"Brother, my leg is injured... There are zombies everywhere outside, and I dare not go out. Can you..."

Shen Yisui stood behind the door, listening silently to the conversation between the two people on the other side of the wall, his expression did not change.

Cheng Jingyi's answer was also within his expectations. Although Cheng Jingyi was silent for a moment this time, he still promised Shen Heng that he would send him away from the West District and return to the military.

After all, they are brothers.

"Brother, I heard about Shen Yisui. How is he now?"

Shen Yisui's nerves tensed up when he heard that. He stood up straight and thought secretly about his next countermeasures.

"Dead."

It was Cheng Jingyi's voice again.

Shen Yisui was startled when he heard the voice, his eyes trembled, as if he didn't understand the intention of Cheng Jingyi's answer.

"…Really? How could this happen?"

"Heh...if he tried to run, he would fall off the cliff and die. What are you going to do next?"

"I want to heal my wound first. Can you help me find some medicine?"

“I don’t have any medicine here.”

[Don't reject us.]

A mechanical sound suddenly rang out amidst their conversation. Shen Yisui was standing motionless behind the wall. When he heard the strange sound, he frowned immediately.

"...That's right. The environment in the West District is bad right now, and it's really hard to find medicine for wounds. It's okay, I can just bandage the wound myself..."

[Please like us more.]

[Don't make us sad.]

[You will make us very sad if you do this.]

Shen Yisui frowned. The mechanical sounds outside kept coming out one by one, silently stimulating Shen Yisui's nerves.
