Chapter 38
Because of his poor health, Jiang Ning had hardly eaten any meat. As for sausages, the ones he ate were those that his mother cut into small octopus shapes and fried.
It was the first time for him to eat such a big sausage that he could hardly hold in one hand. He licked it first to taste it, then pursed his lips and tasted it. His red little face showed a little disgust, it didn't taste very good.
It couldn't be compared with fried sausages, but in this zombie apocalypse, it was good to have something to eat. The last time he ate was the day before.
This is his only food at the moment, and he has to eat it slowly because it makes it easier to get full and saves food.
So he took a small bite of the sausage head. He had to admit that the meat was quite good. It was not dry at all, but tender and juicy.
The soft tip of her tongue licked the gravy on top, and it didn't seem too bad. After thinking about it, Jiang Ning denied this idea. It must be an illusion caused by hunger.
After all, it is said that when people are hungry for a long time, everything they eat tastes like chocolate.
The gravy flowed over the tongue and into the throat. Jiang Ning's fragile Adam's apple rolled and swallowed the gravy. The tip of his teeth began to prepare to bite. The meat was indeed of good quality and quite elastic.
During the long night, Jiang Ning, who had nothing but a sausage, was in no hurry to finish his only food. He bit the sausage and saw his cheek suddenly sunken. He wanted to try whether he could still suck out the meat juice.
The other side
Zhao Ke checked the time. It was nine forty-five. Jin Yan should have arrived at the boss's residence. He should have been beaten black and blue by now and come to him crying. Why hadn't he arrived yet?
Jin Yan finished listening to the chaotic statements of those people in the interrogation room, and then he slammed the table again. This time there was no table for him to bang, so he banged the air, and the people he banged shook, leaving everyone confused. What kind of performance without props was this?
"So you beat him up because he's Little Boss's friend?"
Everyone was a little confused. Who was the little boss?
But this was not important to them. One of the guys lying down had something to say. He raised his hand tremblingly and said, "He was the one who beat us, Deputy City Lord."
Jin Yan gave him a disdainful look. "How dare you say that? Four of you blocked one person and got beaten like this. Shut up! The four of you have disregarded the city's rule against private fighting. You will be paraded through the streets tomorrow to make you realize your mistake. If you do it again, you will be expelled from the city. No mercy will be shown."
Don't be fooled by Jin Yan's silly appearance. He is powerful and efficient in solving problems. No wonder he is the deputy city lord and manages this Inaba city.
Although the four men didn't dare to complain about his punishment, they didn't forget to drag Meng Hu into the water, pointing at Meng Hu and saying, "What about him?"
Jin Yan looked at Meng Hu and said, "It's not easy to save your life from four people. You can come out now. Also, if it happens again, be careful and avoid excessive defense."
Those four people:???
Meng Hu nodded: "I understand."
He originally had a bad impression of Jin Yan because of Qin Xu, but now it is better.
Meng Hu came out from behind the iron gate, iron window and iron chain and followed Jin Yan out. The four men were dumbfounded. It seemed that they had received a beating in vain.
Jin Yan: "Should we send someone to take you back?"
Meng Hu: "Deputy City Lord, I actually want to go find Jiang Ning."
When Jin Yan heard that it was on the way, he said, "Then come with me. I happen to be going there too."
Qin Xu raised his head slightly and his neck followed suit. The taut blood vessels on his neck could be seen, full of the sexiness of overflowing male hormones. He half-closed his eyes and looked at his prey.
The prey was a silly little rabbit.
The little rabbit had been holding the bait carrot in its mouth for a long time, but this little rabbit in the apocalypse had obviously never eaten carrots before and didn't know how to eat it.
It has been struggling with the carrot tip for such a long time. Its pink little mouth is biting and licking the carrot tip, and its saliva is about to wrinkle the carrot tip.
He really wanted to teach this stupid little rabbit a lesson. When encountering food in the apocalypse, one should swallow it all into his mouth in big mouthfuls. This is the rule of survival in the apocalypse.
But he was afraid of scaring the little rabbit. After all, carrots are the little rabbit's food, but the little rabbit is his food.
He had to find the right moment to catch the little rabbit and bite it from the legs. The little rabbit was quite fat in this doomsday and had a fat little butt. He could already imagine how delicious it would be when he bit it.
Of course, the rabbit's stomach must not be spared, and all of it must be swallowed into its stomach.
He quietly put the carrot back into the rabbit's mouth while the rabbit wasn't paying attention. He wanted to wait until the rabbit became confused after eating so that he could catch it.
But the little rabbit was really small, and its mouth was also very small. He only delivered the carrot to the middle, and the little rabbit's mouth was stretched so much that it could hardly close.
Qin Xu sighed silently in his heart. It was really not easy to eat a piece of rabbit meat in this doomsday.
Jin Yan and the other person were chatting casually, and Jin Yan didn't have the airs of a deputy city lord.
Talking about how Meng Hu and Jiang Ning met, Jin Yan was a little surprised and shocked to hear that the little boss actually let himself be captured in order to save him.
The image of Jiang Ning popped up in my mind. To put it nicely, she was pretty and fragile. She should be held in the palm of my hand and protected in a glass cover. To put it simply, she was obviously a timid weakling.
But now he has changed his opinion of Jiang Ning, and he can actually hold on until he meets the boss. Although he is just a zombie, he is also facing a person with super powers.
At least he is brave and resourceful.
Oops.
This little boss is beautiful, a zombie, brave and resourceful. Will he dislike the boss? After all, the boss has both intelligence and temper, both strength and power.
And he has a gloomy face all day long, as if all the creatures in the world owe him a million or eighty thousand.
Tsk tsk, he used to worry that the boss was a scumbag, but now he started to worry that the boss would be dumped, so he walked faster. Since the boss really couldn't be relied on, he let the young boss fall in love with his subordinates. Tomorrow he would pull Zhao Ke to find a few more and go to the young boss's place to show his presence.
The little boss couldn't bear to abandon the big boss because of his loving subordinates.
This is a really good idea, worthy of him.
Qin Xu was still digging the hole at this moment, trying to make it as unblocked as possible. Everything was for safety. Although he was anxious, he couldn't be impatient.
As for the little rabbit, it has stopped chewing the carrot now. Although it is still holding it in its mouth, it is completely confused and its hind legs shake from time to time.
Zhao Ke checked the time. It was 10:00 PM, and Jin Yan still hadn't returned. Could he have been beaten to death by the boss? That was absolutely impossible. Or was he so upset by the beating that he felt too stupid to face anyone, and so he hid and cried secretly?
That doesn't really fit Jin Yan's personality.
He looked at the light computer on his wrist several times, and finally sent a message to Jin Yan.
Jin Yan, who had already reached the door and was about to knock, stopped when he received the message. He had to check the message sent by Zhao Ke as soon as possible.
Zhao Ke:.
Meng Hu, who was watching from the side, was full of questions.
Jin Yan: ｏｊｂｋ
Meng Hu blinked his eyes, and the other party sent a circle. Ojbk also starts with a circle, so this is some kind of word-connecting game.
After receiving the reply, Zhao Ke confirmed whether Jin Yan was dead or alive, and judged from this stupid reply message that Jin Yan was not in a sad state at the moment, which meant that he was fine.
Jiang Ning crawled forward twice, but he couldn't take it anymore. He was going to die. How could his fragile body withstand flying two or three times in such a short time?
Qin Xu grabbed him.
Jiang Ning said randomly, "It's gone, not a drop left."
Qin Xu grabbed his two arms, twisted them together, and pressed them against his waist. It was a very standard grappling technique, but using it on Jiang Ning was really a bit of a waste. It was like Guan Erye using his Green Dragon Crescent Blade to catch a three-year-old kid stealing food. Isn't that too much?
It was too much for the little kid and also too much for Guan Erye.
Politeness: Do you have the Green Dragon Crescent Blade?
Qin Xu: "It doesn't matter, as long as I have it."
He felt that it was almost done, it was time to move on to the main event.
Jiang Ning didn't even have the strength to struggle, but he was still a little scared. After all, he had tasted it himself and knew clearly that he really couldn't eat it.
The corners of his mouth are still sore.
And this mouth is much, much bigger. If it's already like this, other mouths will be even worse.
The rocket is about to land, the plane is about to take off, the car is about to be put into storage, and the sword is about to be sheathed.
"Knock knock." There was a knock on the door.
Soon there were two more knocks on the door, very heavy, and Jin Yan was talking: "Boss, open the door, don't be silent inside, I know you are at home."
In an instant, the rocket that had just touched the ground returned to outer space, the plane that had taken off drooped straight down, the car at the door of the warehouse exploded on the spot, and the big knife turned soft and the sword slashed through the scabbard.
Everything returns to dust, dust returns to dust, we have to dance on Jin Yan’s death anniversary.
Qin Xu turned his head and looked towards the door. If his gaze could become reality, the door would have been split open by now, and Jin Yan would have been tortured to death.
Jin Yan was still knocking on the door relentlessly: "Meng Hu is here too. He said he wants to see Little Boss. Open the door, it's cold outside, Boss. I'm almost freezing." (You almost died, but not from the cold.)
Jiang Ning felt like she had seen her savior. She ran away, almost falling down. "I'll go open the door."
Qin Xu grabbed him and said, "Put on your clothes."
As he spoke, he took out a milky white turtleneck sweater from the bag he brought back. He helped Jiang Ning put on the clothes. Jiang Ning really had no strength left.
The sweater was large and looked warm, covering half of Jiang Ning's face. Her pants were linen-gray casual pants, and after putting them on, Jiang Ning looked like a melting pastry ball.
Qin Xu stared at Jiang Ning, then picked up his feet and put his socks on.
Under Qin Xu's broad palm, the socks ran up along Jiang Ning's slender ankles, covering part of her calves.
When it came to the second sock, Qin Xu lowered his head and kissed Jiang Ning's ankle, then bit it, looking like he couldn't let it go.
Jiang Ning tilted her head and looked at him in a daze. Her hands were hidden by her sleeves, revealing only the pale pink fingertips. She pulled up her high collar again, covering her shy face, but the corners of her mouth were secretly raised.
Why does it feel like my heart is pounding even more than before?
He looked at Qin Xu, looking at him carefully, with love and affection swirling in his beautiful eyes. From the first time they met, this person had perfectly met his aesthetic standards. He was tall, handsome and powerful, and although rough, he was also gentle.
The 19-year-old boy who grew up in the white room of the hospital, had this person's appearance in a pure white emotion.
If we talk about romance, it must be very romantic, after all, they met across time and space.
Obviously, they hadn't been together for very long. They had only met a few times in the first few days of knowing each other, and every time they met... Now thinking about it, it was a scene of Jiang Ning's social demise.
But Qin Xu said that he liked me, and he came to save me when he knew I was in danger, and he took me home.
Qin Xu raised his eyelids and looked at Jiang Ning, whose half face was in his collar. He stared at him blankly, tears streaming silently. Qin Xu was a little panicked. The little zombie was always noisy.
He put Jiang Ning's feet down, put them into the furry little bunny slippers, and leaned over: "Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Jiang Ning shook his head and grabbed Qin Xu's clothes at the waist: "Qin Xu, I like you."
Why do people cry and say I like you?
Because I like it so much.
Because I was too uneasy.
Qin Xu's pupils trembled. When he said to Jiang Ning, "I like you," Jiang Ning didn't say "I like you" to him. In fact, he still cared a little.
Now he finally heard these words.
He hugged the crying Jiang Ning into his arms and kissed his hair: "Well, you like me, right?"
Jiang Ning pulled his hands, which were holding Qin Xu's clothes, back and hugged Qin Xu tightly. In this strange and dangerous world, what he held in his hands was all he had.
He suddenly thought of a line from a song: I am richer than a king because I love you.
And I, who am loved by you, own the whole world.
After Jin Yan almost knocked the door flat, the door finally opened. Qin Xu's glares fell on Jin Yan, making Jin Yan shiver and forget what he was going to say.
"Brother Hu." Jiang Ning poked her head out from behind Qin Xu. Her eyes were still a little red and swollen, but she smiled sweetly.
Qin Xu's brows furrowed. He forgot something. He wanted to change the little zombie's habit of calling everyone brother. And why had he never called him that before? It was not fair.
Before Meng Hu could say anything, Jin Yan remembered why he came here. He came to gain favor with the little boss, so he left his stinky-faced boss and squeezed in front of Meng Hu without any hesitation. He saw Jiang Ning's face that was obviously crying.
Jin Yan exploded again: "Little Boss, which grandson bullied you again? Tell me, I promise to help you vent your anger!"
Jiang Ning's eyes rolled around and she looked at that "grandson."
He burst out laughing. This guy is really interesting. "No, no, I will teach him a lesson myself. Come in and sit down."
Jiang Ning already had the demeanor of the host of the house, so Jin Yan and Meng Huzhen walked in casually, and the three of them walked into the living room together.
Only Xu Sunzi was left standing at the door, feeling the cool breeze.
Qin Xu: It’s okay to kill someone in this situation.
"Little Boss, don't think about solving it yourself. Leave it to me. Whether it's the people who bullied you and beat you today, or..."
"Been beaten?" Qin Xu came over at some point and interrupted Meng Hu directly.
He looked at Jiang Ning, because Jiang Ning only had some scratches on his hands, probably caused by falling, and there were no signs of being beaten on his body.
So he guessed that the little zombie might have been bullied, but the little zombie was very smart. Judging from the injuries, he thought Jiang Ning had run away.
Everyone in the room felt an oppressive, suffocating, icy breath, and even the biggest men like Menghudu were shivering like little chickens.
That was the body's instinctive reaction, caused by the cold.
Only Jiang Ning didn't seem to react. He blinked, reached out and grabbed Qin Xu's wrist, pulled him towards him, and said with a smile, "What are you doing? You look like you want to eat someone. It's not a good look to look so fierce. Come over here and sit down. Look how scared you are to them."
Jin Yan and the other man felt that the coldness disappeared instantly. Qin Xu, like the King of Hell, sat down obediently beside Jiang Ning, and naturally put his hand around Jiang Ning's waist and hugged him.
Jiang Ning had no intention of avoiding him and explained to him, "I wasn't beaten. It's just... they're afraid of zombies. That's normal."
He narrowed his eyes and smiled so that others could not see the bitterness in his eyes.
He understood those people. If he were a normal person, he would also be afraid of zombies, especially since they lived around him. But he would still feel uncomfortable because he was the despised zombie.
The milky white sweater was stuck to his chin, and under the light, you could see the fine, tiny fluff, which contrasted with his smiling face and slightly red and swollen eyes.
There are only four words left: lovable.
"I'd better not go out in the future, so they won't be scared."
This way he won't get beaten, and it's good to stay at home. Qin Xu will take good care of him anyway, and he won't have to worry about food and clothing. He is used to this kind of life. He has been living like this for 19 years. It's just a change of environment.
Thinking about it this way, things are better now. At least he doesn't have endless medicine to take, and he doesn't have to go to the emergency room for intravenous drips frequently. It's good, and he is satisfied.
Thinking of this, he rushed closer to Qin Xu: "By the way, your nutritional pills are actually very delicious. Do you have any left? I want to eat some."
The topic suddenly turned to this, and the other three were a little confused.
Qin Xu looked at him inquiringly, and the little zombie felt something was wrong.
Jin Yan felt in his pocket and took out two: "Little Boss, I have some here. As expected of the little boss, he has good taste. I also think they are delicious, so I always carry a few with me."
Jiang Ning took one and thanked Jin Yan happily, then stood up and walked towards the kitchen: "I'll get something to drink. This is delicious, but it's too choking."
Qin Xu looked at Jiang Ning's back. She was so slender and thin that she seemed like she would be crushed by the heavy sweater. Would it be difficult for the little zombie to live with him in the normal human world?
No, if there was suffering, he would just solve it.
Qin Xu's eyes were firm and stubborn.
Jiang Ning wiped his tears while taking a drink. He was not sad. Freedom was not as important as living safely. Besides, in this apocalyptic world, there was no such thing as freedom.
He adjusted his breathing and mood, took the drink and went back: "Brother Hu, you came to see me so late, is there something wrong? And how did you get the injury on your head? Was it hit while moving bricks? Did you peek at the beautiful girl or handsome guy, hehe~"
Jiang Ning took his feet out of his slippers and placed them sideways on the sofa, then leaned against Qin Xu. He felt a little tired today, both mentally and physically.
His intimate behavior was in front of Meng Hu, which made Qin Xu very happy. He put his arm around Jiang Ning's shoulders and rubbed them gently, while thinking about how to make everyone accept the little zombie.
Meng Hu and Jin Yan exchanged glances. They had already agreed on the way here that in order not to add psychological burden to Jiang Ning, they would not say that he was beaten because he knew Jiang Ning.
Meng Hu laughed. "Well, you guessed right. I accidentally fell down. It's nothing serious. I came to you to ask for your help. I don't want to move bricks every day. Can you ask Qin Xu to let me go on missions with his organization?"
He is real, even though Qin Xu is sitting here.
Jin Yan also realized why he was looking for Jiang Ning, and then looked at his hands. Wow, he came to ask for help empty-handed, and he was even more arrogant than him.
Jiang Ning looked up at Qin Xu.
Qin Xu: "Okay."
Jiang Ning smiled and leaned back. Not bad, she still gave the Dark Night King face. I love you~
His eyelids became heavier and heavier, and the voices of Qin Xu and the others became more and more distant and blurred, until he finally fell asleep without knowing when.
Qin Xu noticed that Jiang Ning had fallen asleep the first time. The two of them had slept together for so many days, and he had already fully understood Jiang Ning's sleeping habits.
Every time before falling asleep, she would hum, stretch her neck like a kitten, put her head close to him, and rub her chin against his.
It's because he is so cute that I can't lose him anymore.
Qin Xu made a gesture to silence the two people opposite him, and then signaled them to leave.
Although Jin Yan and the other man arrived at a very inopportune time, they were tactful enough to leave quietly.
Jiang Ning had rolled off Qin Xu's shoulder and onto his legs, sleeping on her back, completely defenseless, just like a kitten sleeping with its belly exposed next to someone it trusts, exactly like a kitten.
He scratched the tip of Jiang Ning's nose. She had been secretly wiping her tears in the kitchen just now, but now she fell asleep heartlessly. The room was so small, and Qin Xu had been keeping an eye on Jiang Ning out of the corner of his eye. He saw everything.
Jiang Ning wrinkled his nose and muttered something.
Qin Xu smiled and picked him up from the sofa. In fact, if possible, he would rather the little zombie not go out and stay at home where no one can see him except him.
But he knew that was impossible and wrong unless the little zombie was willing, but it was obvious that the little zombie wanted to go out and play.
When Qin Xu put Jiang Ning down, Jiang Ning bared her teeth, then hummed and fell asleep again, her hand touching the side twice, as if looking for something.
Qin Xu knew that he was looking for him.
After he lay down, Jiang Ning's hand touched him, and soon she came over and nestled obediently in his arms.
The next day, Qin Xu and Jiang Ning had to go out again after dinner. He had to arrange things for returning to the Holy City. If he wanted to take some things with him, he had to follow some people.
So it's quite busy.
At the dinner table, Qin Xu was worried that Jiang Ning would be bored at home, so he asked, "Do you want to come with me?"
Jiang Ning yawned, "No, I'm going to have a nice nap soon, then get up and have a delicious lunch, then have a nice nap in the afternoon, and then continue reading comics when I wake up."
As he spoke, a sly look flashed in his eyes. He stretched his foot under the table towards Qin Xu's leg and rubbed it teasingly: "Get ready for the battle tonight."
Qin Xu put down the bread in his hand and said, "Actually, it's not impossible for me to go to the meeting an hour or two later."
The teasing foot was immediately withdrawn: "No, that's not good. You can't forget your business because of me. Otherwise, people will say that the pretty little zombie is a vixen who seduced our boss."
His expression was exaggerated and serious.
After seeing Qin Xu off, Jin Yan came again not long after. To be honest, Jiang Ning still had no idea what Jin Yan did.
"hello."
"Little Boss, this is for you." Jin Yan was panting, and it was obvious that he was in a hurry. He handed the box in his hand to Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning was embarrassed to accept the gift: "What is this?"
"This is a good thing for keeping the baby safe. Little Boss, you've been through so much, don't mess around anymore. This is your child and yours."
Jin Yan said this while looking at Jiang Ning's belly.
Jiang Ning also looked down at her belly and said in disbelief, "Pregnancy? Child? I'm pregnant?"
Jin Yan was stunned: "Little Boss, don't you know?"
Jiang Ning's mind raced, his reason told him that he was not pregnant, but this was a different world, maybe pregnancy didn't require that, he hadn't learned that aspect of the world yet.
Moreover, Qin Xu is a person with superpowers. Maybe he is so awesome that he can make people pregnant with just his fingers!
Otherwise, why would his men send this thing over!
Could it be that his men sent it here on their own initiative? Impossible! His men are not crazy!
Jiang Ning staggered back unsteadily. He was only 19, as young as a flower, and Qin Xu had gotten him pregnant? What a cruel man he was!
Jiang Ning's expression changed from anger to sadness. It turned out that it was true that one could get pregnant by just touching hands. It was not a lie.
Jiang Ning was struck by lightning when he suddenly became a father. He felt a little pain in his stomach. He held his abdomen and leaned back to steady himself by holding on to the partition at the door.
Seeing this, Jin Yan put down what he was holding and went to help him: "Little Boss, what's wrong with you?"
Jiang Ning's face turned pale because of the excessive pressure and emotional ups and downs she felt at the time. "I, my stomach hurts..."
When Jin Yan heard this, he realized that something was wrong with the child!
He quickly contacted Qin Xu with his optical brain. As soon as the call was connected, he yelled like a pig being butchered: "Boss, come back soon! Little Boss has a stomachache, your child might, might..."
He was crying so hard that he couldn't continue speaking.
Qin Xu: What on earth have I missed?
The people next to him who were preparing for the meeting lowered their heads. After a while, one of them mustered up the courage and said, "Big Boss, do you want to go back and see Little Boss? Pregnancy is very difficult and dangerous."
"Yeah yeah."
"Especially the first one."
Qin Xu: Although the little zombie is definitely not pregnant, he will definitely go back to check.
Without even waiting for those people to finish speaking, he announced the postponement of the meeting and left in a hurry.
Jin Yan contacted Zhao Ke again and asked him to come over quickly.
When Qin Xu returned as quickly as possible, Jiang Ning was lying on the bed in the bedroom. Jin Yan was not there, and Zhao Ke was about to leave.
Qin Xu: "What's going on?"
Zhao Ke: "I ate too much, especially meat. My stomach can't adapt to it."
Qin Xu breathed a sigh of relief, and then felt like laughing. He turned to look at Jiang Ning and saw him stealthily pulling up the quilt. The little zombie was too embarrassed to face anyone.
