As Tian Tian sobbed softly, she stared at the gash on Zheng Yongnian's chest for a while before realizing something seemed amiss.
After lifting his clothes, Zheng Yongnian looked at the wounds on them and began to feel that something was wrong. Thinking about what was amiss, he lowered his head and pondered.
Standing opposite him, Yu Yanbin and the others stared at him for a long time, then frowned. "Yongnian, what's wrong with you?"
"Hmm?" Zheng Yongnian looked in the direction of the voice and saw Yu Yanbin's tightly furrowed brows, Cheng Shaolin staring intently at the wound on his shirt, and Meng Yang and Shao Jie seemingly deep in thought...
"What's wrong?"
“There,” Yu Yanbin pointed to the cut on his body, “is there no bleeding?”
Zheng Yongnian was taken aback!
He said something was wrong; he was injured, so how could he not feel anything? Didn't he feel any pain?
He suddenly realized what was happening and quickly flipped open the seam of his shirt. He didn't even bother to unbutton his shirt; he wanted to see the result as soon as possible.
When he opened the opening, there was no wound inside at all!
Really, there wasn't a drop of blood!
It only tore the clothes; it didn't hurt the skin at all!
No wonder it looked strange; there wasn't any bloodstain on the edges of the clothes!
His mouth stretched wider and wider until he burst into laughter.
"I'm not hurt, I'm not hurt. I'm fine. I'm fine. Hahaha—"
Seeing Zheng Yongnian's beaming face, the others who had just noticed something was amiss suddenly realized what was going on.
Seeing Zheng Yongnian laughing heartily like a child, she didn't disturb him.
Let him relax.
No one would remain indifferent when faced with the possibility of being scratched or infected by zombies; it's inevitable that they would have such thoughts.
They then saw Zheng Yongnian laugh and then burst into tears, his heart filled with turmoil, unable to conceal his emotions, which finally came out.
It's truly admirable that he was able to endure such immense psychological pressure for so long during this relatively short period of injury.
No one bothered him, so it's good that he vented.
Tian Tian and Li Xiao, who were initially feeling uneasy, finally felt relieved after this huge turn of events.
Let him rest for a bit. Everyone else, go check the surroundings. The area above has been sealed off; after tidying up the inside, we can rest here.
Aside from the dust, it was fairly clean inside.
The first floor didn't need any maintenance, so I went straight to the second floor.
The second floor still has a lingering smell because a zombie once lived there.
Since they couldn't disperse anytime soon, everyone stayed on the first floor.
"Let's clean this place up." Yu Yanbin decided to stay on the first floor.
This place will serve as a temporary resting spot, and we haven't prepared much for it.
I parted ways with that group of people, but I never expected it to be in this way.
It's inevitable that some negative thoughts will arise in one's mind.
"Honestly, I've heard a lot about this, but this is the first time I've actually encountered it."
"It's nothing special, just an ordinary thing. It's just that it happened to me before."
Shao Jie was cleaning with Xiao Peng, and couldn't help but grumble as he swept the floor.
"Yeah, that's true."
"There will be more in the future, no need to make a fuss. Stay away from these kinds of people in the future."
"Of course. I don't want to die." Shao Jie glared at Xiao Peng. He would stay as far away from people like that as possible.
Who knows when someone might do something like this to you?
"Alright, stop overthinking it. There are plenty of people like that these days; just stay away from them in the future. Now," Li Xiao looked around and said with a smile, "we need to eat something good and get ready for the challenges ahead."
“Okay, eat well, drink well, and get ready for battle,” Tian Tian responded first.
Rice, steamed buns, braised chicken with potatoes, cucumber salad, and hot and sour shredded potatoes were laid out on the table.
"Come on, Yongnian, have some chicken leg to calm your nerves." Meng Yang served Zheng Yongnian some food.
"Yes, yes, come on, calm your nerves." Shao Jie also quickly put a piece of cucumber on Zheng Yongnian's plate.
Everyone added more food to Zheng Yongnian's bowl and urged him to eat quickly. Zheng Yongnian looked at the full bowl of rice and dishes but didn't say anything.
He pursed his lips, glanced at his companions sitting around the table, smiled faintly, and then slowly composed himself.
He nodded slowly. "Yes, you guys eat. You guys eat too." He picked up a piece of cucumber with his chopsticks; it was sour, a little spicy, and tasted very good.
His eyes were a little sore, so he quickly blinked twice, chewed a couple of times, and swallowed.
"Eat up, everyone! It's delicious!"
"Okay, let's eat together." Seemingly noticing his discomfort, Meng Yang smiled and picked up some food, inviting everyone to eat together.
The food was delicious, and I ate to my heart's content. A bowl of tomato and egg soup would make it truly perfect.
Everyone was so comfortable that they just slumped in their chairs, completely relaxed and at ease.
"We'll handle the rest ourselves; let's not collaborate with anyone else."
After each meal, it's time for everyone to discuss things.
When you're truly comfortable, you can lie down or sit anywhere, talk, chat about random things—it's quite nice.
Today, Yu Yanbin started the discussion, and then everyone began to express their own opinions.
"It's better not to cooperate, it's too scary." Tian Tian had a lot of resentment towards that woman and had developed a psychological aversion to her.
"Cooperation? That's not scary enough. You wouldn't have enough lives to lose." Shao Jie's expression was unpleasant, even showing a hint of disgust.
"Alright, cooperation depends on the people involved. Don't condemn everyone because of one bad factor. After all, it's just an isolated case and doesn't represent everyone." Cheng Shaolin leaned back in his chair, his expression unreadable.
"Yes, Shaolin is right, but we can't generalize."
Meng Yang laughed, "That's right, not everyone is like that. Don't hold onto those negative thoughts, being too narrow-minded isn't good either. It's good to be cautious, but don't let yourself be terrified."
Hearing that the three of them all said the same thing, the others calmed down and refrained from saying anything extreme.
"Anyway, if that woman ever appears in front of me again, I'll kill her." Li Xiao casually picked at her nails and said this out of sheer boredom.
...
Everyone turned to look at her.
Li Xiao didn't feel that she couldn't say it; one can be ignorant, but one cannot be shameless.
"That woman was wrong, and she even insulted me. I'm not comfortable with that."
Cheng Shaolin stared intently at Li Xiao, who looked calm and showed no sign of anger.
Perhaps, in reality, she was angry inside.
The less you say it, the more you care.
Cheng Shaolin lowered his eyelids. He wasn't with Li Xiao today, so he only got a general idea of what was going on with her.
Cheng Shaolin had a general idea of what that woman was like.
Since he has upset Xiaoxiao, shouldn't he, as her boyfriend, do something about it?
Suddenly, he smiled, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, concealing a subtle chill.
