Chapter 193: Chapter 193: Astonishment

A small, exquisite electric bike traveled on the road, carrying four people.

Over four hundred pounds of weight.

The tires were flat.

Gee, gee~

The electric bike emitted a silent protest.

Leng Yebai’s ears turned slightly red as he crouched at the front, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

But, this position wasn’t too bad.

The faint fragrance from Bai Xiqin’s body filled his nostrils, surrounding him with her scent.

Zhang Yiming sat expressionless at the back, while Bai Yifan chattered away with Zhang Yiming.

“Brother Zhang, why don’t you stay at the safe base? You also live in the living area, so it’ll be easier for me to find you to hang out in the future!” Bai Yifan said.

“I…don’t like living in crowded places.” Zhang Yiming’s voice was gentle, with a smile on his face.

A tinge of desolation flashed in his gentle eyes.

Perhaps, when red blood flows in his body again, he could live openly among humans.

“Brother Zhang, are you cold? Why do I feel like you’re very cold?”

Bai Yifan shivered slightly, as Zhang Yiming always seemed cold to the touch.

“I’m not cold, it’s just my constitution.”

Zhang Yiming’s voice was very calm.

He’d been like this since childhood, cool to the touch in summer.

After becoming a zombie, he became even cooler.

Yet, he had never felt cold.

Because he had no sensation.

“Well, Brother Zhang is quite lucky then; no need to fear the heat in summer!” Bai Yifan said with slight envy.

The scorching summer was approaching, and he’d be burning up like a dog again.

Zhang Yiming noticed the envy in Bai Yifan’s voice, smiled lightly, but said nothing.

He used to be quite proud of not fearing summer’s heat.

It’s just…

Fate plays tricks on us.

Beyond Bai Yifan, he saw the girl within arm’s reach.

The girl wore a high ponytail, always looking relaxed, free-spirited.

Before the apocalypse, they were the same.

After the apocalypse, she remained the same, except for a trace of maturity in her eyes; her character was as it always was.

But he couldn’t return to the way he was before.

In front of him, Zhang Yiming’s expressionless gaze was slightly hollow.

The direction of zombie evolution was becoming clearer.

Stupefied, foolish zombies would become increasingly intelligent as their superpowers developed.

A Fifth Rank zombie, by absorbing crystal cores, could even repair its decayed body.

Yet, so far, he hadn’t seen any zombie whose red blood flowed again.

Neither he nor Fan Tangtang.

Their exterior was like humans, but their bodies carried black blood; absorbing crystal cores yielded no pain for them.

Only the flavor of fresh blood could activate his taste buds instantly.

Since the end times, he hadn’t tasted anything at all.

The flesh and blood of animals could make his taste buds explode, yet he constantly restrained himself from indulging.

For fear if he let loose once, he’d become a true zombie.

He must become human.

Be a human like her.

“Bang!”

“Ah!”

Bai Yifan’s scream pulled Zhang Yiming back from his thoughts.

By the time Zhang Yiming reacted, he was already flying through the air.

In mid-air, Zhang Yiming saw the green garbage truck that zombies dreaded.

With a clang.

The small electric bike was completely totaled by the green garbage truck.

Bai Xiqin and the four of them were thrown heavily to the ground.

“Leng! Ye! Bai! Why did you stand up without a reason!” Bai Xiqin gritted her teeth.

If it weren’t for Leng Yebai suddenly standing up, she wouldn’t have missed the green garbage truck ahead.

Leng Yebai saw it and reached to twist the bike’s brake, yet being curled up in the front didn’t give him room to maneuver, resulting in a blunder.

Thus, the overloaded electric bike was punished by Uncle Wang.

“Xiao Niu, are you alright!”

Zhang Yiming was the first to scramble up and rush toward Bai Xiqin.

He had no sense of pain; unlike humans, he didn’t need a moment to recover after being hit.

Moreover, he was used to being hit.

The first time, it didn’t hurt, just caught him off guard.

The second time, he was already starting to adjust.

The third time, he completely knew how to react.

In fact, he could responsibly say he was experienced in being hit.

“Xiao Niu, are you alright?”

Leng Yebai was a step behind Zhang Yiming, crouching on the ground, looking tensely at Bai Xiqin.

Leng Yebai was at the front, bore the brunt of the impact, and his cool face was swollen red.

Bai Xiqin sat on the ground, waving her hand, “No worries, I’ll be fine after a while.”

Bai Xiqin wasn’t actually injured, just a bit dazed from the fall.

“Sis, can you take on Uncle Wang?”

Bai Yifan grimaced, holding his butt as he climbed up from the ground, casting a wistful look at the green garbage truck.

Inside the green garbage truck, the elderly squad was wide-eyed and speechless, looking at the four people they’d knocked flying.

Yet none of them intended to get down.

“I respect the elderly and love the young, why don’t you go!” Bai Xiqin looked at Bai Yifan, “You’re the young one, he’s the elderly, you’re equals.”

Bai Yifan silently stepped back, vigorously shaking his head.

What a joke, he wouldn’t last one move against the old man!

“My granddaughter is fine, let’s run away!”

Bai Zhengxuan’s voice was very low, his mouth barely moving.

If his wife knew they knocked Xiao Niu and Xiao Fan flying, he’d definitely get a beating from her.

“It’s too late.”

Uncle Wang’s foot was on the pedal, ready to flee, yet he didn’t press it down.

Bai Xiqin and Bai Yifan saw his face.

Uncle Liu twitched his lips, slightly holding his forehead.

He had long advised Old Wang to drive steadily, not to act crazily.

And now look, they hit someone they shouldn’t have!

Hitting Xiao Fan and their unfamiliar classmate was one thing, but hitting Xiao Niu and Xiao Leng meant Wang Yiyun and Liu Jing would certainly not let them off.

They weren’t afraid of those two women…faries.

A real man doesn’t bicker with women!

Bai Xiqin took a moment to recover, seeing two hands appear in front of her.

One was Leng Yebai’s, and one was Zhang Yiming’s.

Bai Xiqin looked at Zhang Yiming’s fingers, momentarily dazed.

From her angle, she could see Zhang Yiming’s long fingers and the wrist section covered by his sleeve.

There was an abrasion on his wrist.

From there, black blood seeped out.

The scraped area was faintly visible, flickering with Zhang Yiming’s finger movements.

“Xiao Niu, get up!”

Leng Yebai’s hand moved slightly closer to Bai Xiqin’s front, his face tense.

From his angle, all he saw was Zhang Yiming’s slender fingers extended toward Bai Xiqin, vying to pull Xiao Niu up.

Two handsome men, each extending their long fingers, lovingly held before Bai Xiqin.

Each had their own unique allure.

One was cold and stern, the other warm and sunny.

Bai Yifan raised an eyebrow, smirking mischievously from the side, looking like a spectator.

He didn’t mind who became his brother-in-law.

Either way, his niece or nephew would still come from his sister.

No matter who his brother-in-law was, he’d surely be the favorite uncle!

Bai Xiqin herself was amazed, seemingly captivated by the scene of beauty before her.

“Okay.”

Bai Xiqin collected herself, her eyes lowered, dispelling the surprise in them.

Simultaneously, she extended both hands to place them in Leng Yebai and Zhang Yiming’s hands.

A look of delighted surprise passed through Zhang Yiming’s gentle eyes as he tenderly helped Bai Xiqin up.

Leng Yebai maintained a cold expression, his eyes fixed intently on the intertwined fingers of Bai Xiqin and Zhang Yiming.
