Chapter 294: Chapter 294: Let’s Sleep on the Floor First!

“Leng Yebai, you’d better wake up now!”

Zhang Yiming coldly stared at the hand gripping his own, his gaze even colder than the eternal ice.

Fan Tangtang obediently knelt on the ground, unable to stand up.

The almost tangible pressure nearly made him cry out for his mom.

Even though he wouldn’t cry.

Besides, his mom couldn’t help him.

“…Xiao Niu, don’t leave.”

Leng Yebai’s eyes moved slightly, barely managing to open a slit, struggling to see who was there.

He only saw Zhang Yiming’s icy expression.

Leng Yebai grabbed his hand, feeling the cold, lifeless touch of what he was holding.

His eyes widened in shock, quickly withdrawing his hand.

“How is Xiao Niu?”

Upon seeing Leng Yebai open his eyes, Zhang Yiming’s first question was about Bai Xiqin.

The malice surrounding him transformed into daggers, threatening to slice Leng Yebai’s throat.

“They’re all okay.”

Leng Yebai struggled to move his hand slightly on the ground, feeling a fierce pain in his shoulder.

It was as if his bones were shattered.

Is this a sign of turning into a zombie?

Leng Yebai felt desolate inside.

“Really okay?”

Zhang Yiming looked into Leng Yebai’s eyes, asking again.

Leng Yebai nodded lightly.

However, he was still very worried about Xiao Niu and the others; it seemed like his family was being targeted.

Even knowing Xiao Niu could hide in her space if danger arose, Leng Yebai remained terribly worried.

Those with higher superpowers who turned into zombies ended up as higher rank zombies.

If he became one of those brainless high rank zombies, he would be a source of danger by her side.

Leng Yebai looked steadily at Zhang Yiming; he was a very special zombie, at least unlike any other known zombie, he was the most formidable.

Leng Yebai opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but coughed out two mouthfuls of blood.

The blood was not purely red; it had a slight brown hue.

Possibly a sign of mutation.

“As long as Xiao Niu is okay.”

Zhang Yiming stood up, the malice around him instantly dissipating, and wiped the bloodstains on his hands before turning to leave.

As if he didn’t notice Leng Yebai, who was about to perish.

“Xiao Ming, what should we do with Xiao Leng?”

Fan Liping bent down to carry Leng Yebai on his back, hesitant to speak.

He considered suggesting finding a doctor for such severe wounds but remembered how scarce doctors were in the post-apocalyptic world.

But he couldn’t just leave him in the courtyard!

“Let him stay over there!”

Zhang Yiming pointed to a room on the outermost edge.

It was the kitchen, not too spacious, filled with firewood.

Fan Liping enjoyed cooking with earthen pots, often making earthen pot chicken, which wasn’t good, though Grandpa Fan, now a zombie, could eat an entire pot (fed by his own son).

Inside, it was dark and seemingly unsuitable for habitation.

“This… might not be appropriate?” Fan Liping said in a roundabout manner, “There’s no bed in the kitchen!”

“No problem, he can sleep on the floor initially. Tomorrow I’ll have them help make one.”

Zhang Yiming’s face returned to a warm, sunny demeanor as he lazily sat in the courtyard’s recliner, holding a paper Fan Tangtang had just filled out.

His slender, fair fingers grasped a pen, rapidly jotting down mathematical symbols on the paper, seemingly out of boredom.

Fan Tangtang and the kneeling high rank zombies stood up, trembling.

The invisible pressure had disappeared.

Fan Liping’s face twitched slightly.

Letting zombies make a bed, it might take three to five days and might never get done.

By then, it might be better to just get a coffin for Leng Yebai!

Hu Meiling couldn’t bear it.

With Leng Yebai’s severe injuries, allowing him to sleep on the floor might as well involve digging a hole and burying him!

While he could still speak, they could ask if the hole was comfortable enough!

“Cough, cough, Xiao Leng came here with such severe injuries alone, the Bai Family must be worried sick!” Hu Meiling remarked.

“Who knows, maybe he was dumped and the Bai Family doesn’t want him,” Zhang Yiming said without emotion, continuing to jot down mathematical symbols on the paper.

Hu Meiling’s face froze momentarily, giving the kitchen a look before continuing, “Maybe the Bai Family is out there looking for him?”

Zhang Yiming paused briefly, slowly writing a number symbol with his pen, his voice cold, “Go bring a bed back now, deliver it today!”

His eyes remained on the paper, unclear who he was speaking to.

The high rank zombies in the courtyard shivered and slowly headed for the door.

Clearly, Zhang Yiming gave them the order.

The door had been completely wrecked by Leng Yebai.

The blue-clothed zombie girl was curiously peeking into the courtyard but dared not step foot in.

The high rank zombies politely performed a door-closing gesture upon exiting.

Despite the door lying on the ground…

Hu Meiling watched the not-so-clever zombies that just left, annoyed.

Digging a hole for Leng Yebai seemed faster.

“Xiao Niu will definitely come over to find Xiao Leng. If she sees him like this, she’ll be very upset.”

Hu Meiling persisted.

Seeing Leng Yebai on the brink, it was crucial to ensure he passed away on a bed.

Silence—

The courtyard was exceptionally quiet, Hu Meiling touched her nose, worrying that she might be piercing a certain Zombie King’s heart!

His slender fingers gently scratched at the corner of the paper.

“Put him in my room.”

Zhang Yiming’s voice rang out.

He looked down at the paper, his facial expression indiscernible.

“Alright!”

Fan Liping and his wife smiled, joyfully carrying Leng Yebai inside.

Zhang Yiming’s room faced the sun, extremely comfortable, even having air conditioning and a TV.

It was the best-furnished room in the entire courtyard.

After placing Leng Yebai on the soft bed, Fan Liping and his wife hurried to the kitchen to boil water.

With so many wounds on him, they had to clean and disinfect them.

They noticed the blood at the injury on his leg, almost turning black.

Fan Liping and his wife were not afraid of Leng Yebai changing into a zombie, nor of being bitten, because Zhang Yiming and Fan Tangtang were present.

However…

A perfectly good person turning into a zombie was truly painful.

Fan Liping brought hot water into the room to clean and bandage Leng Yebai’s injuries.

Hu Meiling continued to wash clothes and shoes in the courtyard.

She sneakily glanced at Zhang Yiming sitting on the chair with the paper and then at Fan Tangtang, indicating he should say something.

She wanted to ask if Leng Yebai was beyond saving!

Fan Tangtang blinked, staying still.

Pretending not to see.

Between his mom and Brother Zhang, he chose invincible Brother Zhang!

“Um, Xiao Ming!” Hu Meiling wiped her wet hands, asking in an awkward tone, “Xiao Leng’s leg wound…”

“Zombie-inflicted,”

Zhang Yiming concluded before Hu Meiling finished speaking.

The wound had been scraped several times with a dagger, yet there remained blackened flesh and almost black blood.

In the post-apocalyptic world, only zombies caused such wounds.
