Exquisite fingers identical to porcelain, smooth and icy cold lightly landed on top of his eyelids causing his whole body to shudder.
A fragrant breath came sweeping by his ear from behind. Yan Hanqing didn’t dare move. When those long wonderful fingers left his eyes, Yan Hanqing still didn’t move. It was only when Shao Qing had already moved quite a distance did Yan Hanqing’s ear finally process the joyful yet ambiguous statement Shao Qing had said: “Have I ever told you, your eyes…… are really gorgeous?”
When Yan Hanqing finally snapped out of it, he didn’t even need to touch his ears and face to know that they were scalding hot. Lifting his head up, Shao Qing had already gone quite a distance.
Yan Hanqing rushed to catch up. Looking over at the person by his side who was tranquil, could it be that everything that just happened was just his imagination? Letting out a sigh, Yan Hanqing felt a bit disappointed.
When the three people finally arrived back to the car, Gu Panpan and the rest were already asleep while Gu Chuan was being look out. When he saw them return, he relaxed and lowered his voice: “You guys have finally returned.”
“Did anything happen these past two days?” Shao Qing looked at the others who were asleep, also whispering. Gu Chuan shook his head. “Nothing, in this area there are barely any footprints of people, thus we haven’t seen any zombies either. You guys rest first. Tomorrow, we’ll head out.”
“You guys can go to sleep. Leave night vigil to Er Dai and me.” Shao Qing whispered. Gu Chuan and Yan Hanqing’s first reaction was to shake their heads. They were both big men, how could they let Shao Qing and Er Dai do night watch.
Unperturbed, Shao Qing explained: “Er Dai and I don’t feel exhausted, so we’re most suitable for night vigil. You guys rest up properly. Tomorrow we will have to go back on our journey and who knows what we’ll encounter on the road. If you guys don’t rest properly, our fighting strength will greatly decrease.”
Everything that was spoken was indeed true. The two men looked at one another, then thinking about the groups benefit, they could only go back into the car to sleep leaving Shao Qing and Er Dai sitting beside the weak bonfire.
Fire was capable of driving away wild beasts, but it was also able to lure in some unknown elements. With regards to Shao Qing and Er Dai, the bonfire didn’t have much use; so Shao Qing didn’t add more firewood and just slowly watched as the fire died out.
Er Dai watched her for a long time, sitting cross-legged on the side. After staring at her for a long time, he suddenly reached out and took Shao Qing’s hand and placed it on his face.
Shao distracted for a moment was about to say something but she saw that Er Dai looked like he felt like he was wronged. It seemed that he learned that ignoring Shao Qing wouldn’t allow him to ‘share in the profits’. With this way of thinking Shao Qing couldn’t help but laugh.
Remaining calm, she went and pinched Er Dai’s cheeks. A zombie was basically a corpse. Corpses did not have any temperature, so Er Dai’s face was clod and soft. Touching it was like jello. Shao Qing wondered if Er Dai hadn’t become a zombie, what would he be like?
Maybe he would be a university student, skipping optional electives and required courses, living those happy days.
Actually, he could even be a senior high school student. Perhaps he was in Grade 12, every day burning the midnight oil to prepare for his college entrance exams.
In brief, their lives would have never crossed paths. However because of the apocalypse, her turning into a non-dead non-living thing and him turning into a zombie, the originally parallel lines unexpectedly overlapped allowing them to meet.
Probably because Shao Qing became absent-minded, Er Dai felt like he was wronged again. Bending his head down, he bit Shao Qing’s finger. Using his razor sharp canines, he didn’t use any strength at all and lightly nipped it.
It didn’t hurt, on the contrary it tickled.
Er Dai couldn’t resist licking it. After a second, Shao Qing drew back her finger. She felt that her finger was getting tickled and his lips and his cold tongue making contact with her felt strange. Her heart shivering a bit.
Er Dai still had a vacant expression on his face, looking extremely adorkable. Shao Qing rubbed her own face and was unable to feel any temperature whatsoever. But just now…… Was Er Dai just now being a bit of a rogue?
In the end, Er Dai was unable to comprehend a human’s complicated heart. Thinking that Shao Qing was mad that he had bit her, he worriedly looked at Shao Qing. As a result from his glance, Shao Qing had shifted her eyes away. This made Er Dai’s heart explode, he became desperately frenetic.
He didn’t mean to…… he really didn’t want to bite Shao Qing. Why would Shao Qing be mad?
Er Dai felt wronged and aggrieved. Slowly approaching Shao Qing, he placed his head onto Shao Qing’s chest, giving her a fright.
Shao Qing attempted to push Er Dai away, but Er Dai just hugged onto Shao Qing’s waist. Sticking his face onto Shao Qing’s lower abdomen, his strength especially strong, Shao Qing was just forced to stroke Er Dai’s foolish hair. Giving up on lifting him up, she gently rubbed his back.
Curling up into a ball, he placed his entire body against Shao Qing’s chest, unwilling to come out no matter what.
Shao Qing immediately thought of a story she had seen before. It was about a cat that had been thrown away once. If it was taken in again, then it would be especially loveable because they were scared it would be abandoned again.
Er Dai, is it because she had abandoned you once before that you lack a sense of security?
The more Shao Qing thought about it, the more her heart melted. Her mind couldn’t help but repeatedly replay the first moment her and Er Dai had separated. Er Dai had stood at the entrance, completely helpless. He had no idea what he had done wrong to be abandoned and he also didn’t know why Shao Qing had to leave. Even when he wanted to follow her, he didn’t dare to. So he merely trailed behind secretly. Thinking about how pitiful he was, Shao Qing’s heart ached.
At that time, why was she willing to abandon Er Dai?
“I won’t throw you away again.” Shao Qing gently caressed Er Dai’s back.
A night of silence, early the next morning Gu Panpan and the rest awaoke. Making a simple breakfast, the group then began their return journey.
Right when Xiao Baozi saw Shao Qing, feeling wronged, he burrowed himself into Shao Qing’s chest. No matter what he wouldn’t let go. Shao Qing hurriedly squeezed Xiao Baozi and then took out a crystal to feed him.
The return journey compared to heading out was a lot more relaxed. On one hand they would be hunting zombies, while on the other hand they would be travelling along. When they encountered survivor bases, they would go in to exchange for fresh supplies, but would not stay for long.
Moreover, Shao Qing and the rest had discovered that people have already discovered about the crystals within a zombies brain. They’ve even started utilizing those crystals for training. Now they wouldn’t be at an advantage any longer.
“Although the crystals have been discovered, they still discovered a step after us. Our advantage still exists, it’s just not the same as before. Currently, we just need to take that advantage while the margin hasn’t been narrowed to collect more crystals.” Shao Qing was completely calm. After all,from the beginning, she had guessed that this day would come.
Now that the day had finally arrived, she thought that it was even a bit later than what she had expected.
At the same time, zombies were also having evolutions. The most elementary, low ranked zombies who were sluggish and rigid that appeared frightening and in high numbers but could be easily murdered by even a frail girl with a weapon are different.
The majority of them have now gone through an evolution. They are becoming more and more nimble and agile. Compared to the beginning of the apocalypse, they’ve made a massive improvement.
Shao Qing could foresee that the survival of humans have become increasingly difficult.
Volume 3 56 Can’t gang up
Sure enough, we shouldn’t have hope for a name cripple……
Mulin sniffled: “For the baby’s psychological shadow, can’t you give him a normal name?”
Shao Qing was very aggrieved: “Was that name that bad?”
“How about Shao Mingxi? Ming is the sun and the moon, and Xi is the dawn of a new day. Both symbolize light and hope, a better future.”
Mulin rested her chin and said, “A long, long time ago, I thought that when you give birth, I would also give birth to a baby. It would be best if your baby is a boy and my baby is a girl, so that I can let my baby marry your baby fulfilling my wish of marrying you.”
Shao Qing’s mouth twitched slightly. Mulin’s wish to marry her came from when they were both young and still in the orphanage. Mulin was very small and was often bullied by the other children. Every time Shao Qing would come forward to protect her.
Mulin thus was very clingy to Shao Qing from a very young age. At that time, the two of them were often hungry. Shao Qing would secretly go to the kitchen to steal food, or rob other children. She would get two servings, and give the larger one to Mulin and she would eat less herself.
Mulin still remembered one winter when the aunts of the orphanage treated them harshly. It was normal for them not to have enough food. The more hungry they were, the colder they would become, and the colder they would become, the more hungry they would become. It was an endless cycle.
The two would huddle together and be covered with a thin quilt. Mulin cried because of her hunger, so Shao Qing had no other choice but to sneak out for food and get caught.
She was beaten all over by her aunt, then she would also be locked in the utility room to make her reflect.
The utility room was damp and cold. With injuries on her body, Shao Qing got a fever. Mulin came to her secretly and laid on the window crying. Then she would hand Mulin half a piece of cake making Mulin cry even harder.
Neither of them was willing to eat. Finally Shao Qing would grab the window and they would take turns taking a bite. A palm sized cake would take half an hour to be eaten.
That high fever almost killed Shao Qing. It was Mulin who begged the dean. The dean saw that Shao Qing was going to die. Afraid that she would die in the orphanage and ruin the reputation of the orphanage, she was given a doctor.
After that incident, little Mulin told Shao Qing that she would marry her and be her wife when she grew up.
“What about Shao Zi? I don’t want him to bear too much hope for others. Just have a happy life.” Shao Qing smiled lightly: “His nickname can be little whistle.”
Mullin said helplessly: “Anyway, as long as it is not Shao Tuantuan, Shao Zi is fine, at least it’s an energetic name.”
After deciding on the name of Xiao Baozi, the two chatted for a while. When it was time to eat, Shao Qing pulled Mulin along to have her help out.
After the two of them finished cooking, the men who went out came back.
As a naming cripple, Shao Qing who has always been very confident in herself immediately couldn’t help showing off: “Baobao, from today on, you have a name, Shao Zi. Do you like it?”
Xiao Baozi looked confused, then heard Mulin coolly saying on the side: “She originally was going to go for Shao Tuantuan……”
Xiao Baozi immediately answered: “I like it!”
Shao Zi or whatever was definitely much better than Shao Tuantuan! In order to prevent his mommy from making a whim and asking to call him Shao Tuantuan, he should accept the name Shao Zi with peace of mind……
“Little whistle*, you guys hurry up and wash your hands. Dinner is ready, and we can start the meal soon.” Shao Qing urged.
* whistle = Shao Zi just a different Shao so sounds similar
Yan Qiyue carried Xiao Baozi to wash their hands.
After washing their hands, Yan Hanqing went to the kitchen to help with the dishes. Today, because of the large number of people, Shao Qing cooked a lot of dishes. There were eight dishes and one soup.
Mulin calmly occupied the previous position of Yan Qiyue, and Yan Qiyue had to hold the child aggrievedly. He was placed opposite Shao Qing with an expression of an abandoned woman.
During the meal, Shao Qing briefly talked to the man named Xiao An. After all, it was someone Mulin brought, so she still wanted to show some face.
But she didn’t feel right when she talked to him. This man named Xiao An kept trying to win her over.
At the beginning, Shao Qing thought that the wink was thrown at Mulin, who was sitting next to her, but she looked left and right, but still felt that something was wrong with the number of times it occurred.
According to the angle……this wink was really thrown to her…… Shao Qing was stunned at the time. She was really not a target for an affair and she had no interest in the man of her best friend.
The key was that Xiao An’s glaring eyes were very secretive. Except for Shao Qing, the person involved, no one else seemed to feel it.
She was so inexplicably teased……
Shao Qing decided to be blind and just pretended not to see it. After all, she just reunited with Mulin, she didn’t want to cause something bad to affect her good mood today. She could only swallow this fly into her stomach. Knowing that it was a fly, but still having to swallow it made the originally tasteful dishes hard to stomach.
This situation lasted until the meal was finished and they were ready to go rest.
Because she was finally reunited today, Shao Qing abandoned her “three wives” and prepared to take a nap with Mulin.
During the nap, she couldn’t help saying: “That Xiao An, are you really going to get rid of him?”
Mulin nodded: “Anyways, I will definitely not take him with me when I go to Jiangcheng. I don’t trust him that much. Moreover, he’s just an ordinary person, he probably can’t stand it. I will give him some compensation that should be good enough to help him settle down in the Hope Survivor Base. I will tell him.”
“Well, that’s fine.” Shao Qing finally swallowed what had happened before. After all, it was not a glorious thing. Since the two of them are already going to be separated, it is better to have one less thing to think about.
By the next day, Shao Qing continued to go to the gate to work’. She called Tang Tiande to help arrange Xiao An and Mulin also went.
After all they have been getting along for a long time and have a certain affection. Furthermore, Mulin was a person with a lot of affection. She still wanted to arrange for him first.
After a busy day, Shao Qing was going to buy some fresh fruits and vegetables, and a few bottles of wine, so she can drink with Mulin in the evening.
In the evening, both of them drank a lot. On the contrary, it was the men who barely drank. Mulin was completely drunk. She held Shao Qing and kept shouting that she wanted to marry her, and would kill whoever tried to stop her.
Then she hung onto Shao Qing like a koala, unable to pull off. She was very strong. Shao Qing was helpless, so she had to say: “Let’s sleep with the two of us tonight. Hanqing, can you please put Xiao An in an empty room.”
Mulin tossed all night. Then waiting until she fell asleep, it was already midnight. Shao Qing sighed and prepared to go out to wash her face, then go to bed.
She was very happy today, she was afraid she couldn’t sleep.
As soon as Shao Qing arrived at the bathroom door, the bathroom door opened and the man named Xiao An walked out while wiping his hair.
He was only wrapped with a bath towel to block the most important place, but his upper body and legs were exposed.
Don’t look at his very delicate appearance, his figure was quite extraordinary. His six-pack abs were obvious, but not exaggerated. His two legs were straight and slender, very balanced.
Xiao An seemed a little shy and surprised, “Ah…… Qing Jie, you haven’t slept yet?”
Shao Qing only glanced at him, then moved her gaze away: “Yeah.”
Xiao An didn’t shrink back because of Shao Qing’s indifference. He looked embarrassed, then said: “I thought you were asleep. It was a bit hot. I couldn’t sleep, so I came out and took a shower……”
“Quickly go to sleep.” Shao Qing didn’t want to speak to him more, so she walked directly to the sink.
There was another advantage of being a zombie: things like sweat occurred much less than ordinary people, so there was no sticky feeling. Washing with clean water was enough.
Shao Qing did not hear the sound of Xiao An leaving, instead she heard the sound of him approaching, but Shao Qing didn’t take it seriously. Even if he was given a hundred or one thousand opportunities, he could not hurt Shao Qing.
For Xiao An, she really didn’t want to bother. Although he and Mulin were not boyfriend and girlfriend, so there would be no problem of cheating, but being nurtured should have the consciousness of being nurtured. Since he is now being nurtured by Mulin, they must at least be professional. Moreover, the person who he wants to have an affair with is actually Shao Qing, a good friend of Mulin.
Shao Qing did not think that Xiao An would actually hug her waist. He used a very emphatic way to speak: “Qing Jie, your waist is so thin …… your nice skin, how did you maintain it ……”
This position made a certain part of him only have two thin layers of fabric separating them, so Shao Qing could even feel his shape and size.
At that moment, a feeling of humiliation filled Shao Qing’s heart. She couldn’t bear it, and kicked Xiao An away with one kick.
She used a bit of strength, so Xiao An directly slammed into the wall. He covered the place where he was kicked and sucked in a cold breath of air.
This was due to Shao Qing being merciful. Otherwise, it would be a simple matter to kick his internal organs to pieces.
“Don’t have thoughts you shouldn’t have. Mulin is kind, even if you are separated, you will be settled. But if there is another time, you will not have the chance to stand up again.” Shao Qing said coldly.
What kind of illusion did she give Xiao An to make him think that she was this kind of lustful woman?
Probably because there were three men beside her?
Glancing at Xiao An in disgust, she just left. Her endurance was limited, and he has repeatedly challenged her bottom line. Does he really think she is a compassionate Bodhisattva?
Xiao An was stunned. The phrase that was about to come out lingered around his mouth, “Want to try, I’m very energetic”, turned into a painful moan.
It can only be said that he thinks too much. Mulin has taken care of him, but she just used him for entertainment and to relieve her boredom. So she has never had anything to do with him, which made him feel very insecure. Thus, he would try to stick with Shao Qing.
After all, with his appearance, it can only be said to be above-average. His only specialty was that his mouth was sweet enough and his instrument was good.
But Mulin didn’t like to listen to his love words. She only liked to let him tell stories, so he had no chance to show his advantage in this respect.
Coupled with his sensitivity after discovering that Mulin seemed to want to break up with him, he thought Mullin was tired of him, so he wanted to find his next home.
Shao Qing, being able to kill a high-level thunder superhuman in a second, proved her strength. Even the young leader of the survivor base would call her boss. This indicated that she had status and there were three men to accompany her, especially Yan Qiyue, that temperament was too much like a male prostitute, which showed that Shao Qing was lustful. Of course, the most important thing is that Shao Qing had a good relationship with Mulin, so even if he finds this next family, he doesn’t have to worry about what Mulin will do to him.
It was perfect!
Xiao An firmly believed that after hooking up once, Shao Qing would fall in love with his skills, so he launched his own offensive, and was kicked in exchange.
Curled up in the corner for a long time until the pain eased a lot, Xiao An slowly got up, but he had given up. He was worried that after losing Mulin, he would be helpless, but was even more afraid of being beaten to death by Shao Qing.
In any case, life was the most important thing.
After dragging himself back to the room in pain, he found that the bedding on his bed was already wet.
In the same room with him was Yan Qiyue. Yan Qiyue was awake. He lazily said, “The window was open, maybe water was poured from upstairs and got on your quilt.”
Xiao An looked stunned. Pouring water from upstairs, how could it fly into the house diagonally?
Yan Qiyue continued: “I am a sleepwalker. For your safety, you should sleep on the floor tonight. I can give you a pillow.”
Xiao An: ……
This is dumb!
