Dou Dou hesitated for a moment, then looked at Wen Chi with difficulty.
“But, big sister… I still have another sister in a room downstairs.”
“Downstairs? Why didn’t she come out with you?”
“Because she deliberately smeared Zombie blood on herself, and she’s been unconscious ever since.”
“My mom took me and that sister and kept hiding in the room downstairs.”
Wen Chi suddenly recalled the movement at the window earlier and immediately spoke:
“So it was you making those noises at my window downstairs before? Not some bird?”
Dou Dou nodded.
“At that time, I knew those people wanted to hurt big sister, so I threw stones upstairs.”
“I wanted to warn you.”
Wen Chi patted Dou Dou’s head, then said,
“Alright, I understand. Thank you, Dou Dou.”
“Drink your milk tea. We’re not giving any to that lying bad guy!”
Wen Chi picked up a cup of Xiangpiaopiao milk tea from the table and handed it to Dou Dou.
That was originally something she had prepared to make for the big villain to curry favor with him.
But liars didn’t deserve milk tea!
Hmph ╭(╯^╰)╮
In the kitchen, the man heated instant noodles expressionlessly.
He lifted his gaze and, through the transparent glass, saw Wen Chi’s gentle smile.
His sharp, cold eyes landed on her,
the gaze like that of someone guarding his prey—full of possessiveness.
After learning about the girl, Wen Chi decided to go take a look.
Once Dou Dou had finished eating, she prepared to bring him along.
Passing by the kitchen, she saw Jiang Jiming standing there washing dishes.
For some reason, she felt an inexplicable sense of domestic husband vibes from him.
Wen Chi shook her head and opened the door to leave.
The moment the two left, Jiang Jiming stopped washing the dishes
and immediately followed after them.
“Big sister, it’s here.”
Dou Dou looked at the safe room where he had once hidden with his mother.
Now, only he was left.
Wen Chi patted his head and pushed the door open.
For some reason, the door to this room wasn’t locked.
But precisely because of that, Dou Dou’s mother and the others had been able to enter.
After entering, Wen Chi heard a faint cry for help.
It came from the bedroom.
She walked forward and opened the door.
A short-haired girl collapsed to the ground as the door opened. Her face was sallow, her body emaciated, and her lips dry and cracked.
She kept murmuring:
“Water…”
Wen Chi had already anticipated this situation. She immediately took the water Dou Dou had brought and fed it to the girl.
Perhaps because she had awakened an ability, the girl’s physical condition was somewhat stronger than ordinary people,
which allowed her to hold on until now without dying.
Very soon, she woke up.
Jiang Yi looked at the clean and beautiful girl in front of her, who didn’t seem like someone living in the apocalypse at all.
For a moment, she thought she had returned to the peaceful world before the apocalypse.
Only when she heard the familiar voice of the Little Boy did she come back to her senses.
“Big sister Jiang Yi! You’re awake!”
“Dou Dou?”
“Why are you here? Where’s your mom?”
Jiang Yi clearly remembered everything before she lost consciousness.
Because she had no ability, she had been restricted everywhere.
To take a gamble, she had deliberately infected herself with the Zombie virus.
Before losing consciousness, she had begged Dou Dou’s mother to place her somewhere safe and then leave.
She had kept her promise.
And Jiang Yi had won the gamble.
“My mom turned into a Zombie.”
Dou Dou spoke sadly, his tears about to fall again.
Wen Chi immediately held his hand to comfort him.
“What happened? Why did she turn into a Zombie?!”
“Was it those beasts?!”
“I’ll go kill them right now!”
Before the apocalypse, Jiang Yi had been the glamorous young lady of the Jiang family.
But after the apocalypse, her temper remained unchanged, and few people were willing to get close to her.
Only Dou Dou’s mother had.
And she had even saved Jiang Yi’s life.
Jiang Yi might not have been particularly capable, but she valued loyalty and gratitude deeply.
A life for a life—that was only natural!
Wen Chi quickly held her down and said:
“Those people are already dead. Dou Dou personally sent them into the mouths of Zombies.”
“As for why your mom turned into a Zombie… it can be considered an accident.”
“So you don’t need to look for them anymore.”
Jiang Yi looked at Dou Dou in disbelief.
“Dou Dou killed them?!”
“Big sister, don’t look down on me. I’ve also become an Ability User!”
Dou Dou protested.
Only now did he show a bit of a child’s liveliness,
no longer as gloomy and depressed as before.
“Yes, yes, Dou Dou is also an Ability User. That’s amazing.”
Jiang Yi patted his head,
secretly swearing in her heart that from now on, Dou Dou would be her own younger brother.
She would protect him.
But… this girl was very suspicious.
In the apocalypse, someone who could maintain such a cheerful and innocent smile,
with clean clothes and a healthy complexion—
either she was an extremely vicious person pretending to be harmless,
or she was very powerful, or had strong backing.
As Jiang Yi stood up, she suddenly touched Wen Chi’s hand.
It was icy cold.
Then she looked at Wen Chi’s light pink eyes.
Immediately, she pulled Dou Dou behind her and activated her ability, aiming at Wen Chi.
“You’re a Zombie!”
“No, big sister! Sister Wen Chi is half human, half Zombie!”
“She’s a good person. She won’t eat people! She’s no different from us!”
Dou Dou quickly stepped out from behind Jiang Yi and explained.
Wen Chi looked at the ice spikes floating in the air, her eyes full of undisguised envy.
But soon, the ice spikes shattered.
Jiang Jiming had entered from the doorway at some point.
The moment he stepped in, he saw his Wenwen being targeted by ice spikes.
At that instant, it felt as if his heart had stopped beating.
Worry, fear…
All kinds of emotions that Jiang Jiming had never experienced before surged over him.
He completely blocked Wen Chi behind him.
Wen Chi looked at the solid “wall” in front of her and couldn’t help poking his back.
Oh! So hard!
But soon, a struggling sound came from the girl.
Wen Chi immediately moved out from behind Jiang Jiming and saw Jiang Yi floating in the air—
strangling herself!
Wen Chi rushed forward and grabbed Jiang Jiming’s hand.
Looking at Jiang Yi with concern, she said:
“Jiang Jiming, let her go!”
“She wants to kill you.”
“She just reacted impulsively after finding out I’m a Zombie! She didn’t even attack!”
“Let her go now! Or I’ll ignore you forever!”
Hearing Wen Chi’s words, a trace of panic flashed in Jiang Jiming’s eyes. He immediately released his control over Jiang Yi.
Then he stepped forward, grabbed Wen Chi’s hand, and said in a low, slightly pitiful voice:
“I won’t kill her. Don’t ignore me.”
Wen Chi was busy checking on Jiang Yi and replied perfunctorily:
“Okay, okay.”
After Wen Chi and Dou Dou helped Jiang Yi up,
Jiang Yi recovered and, seeing how Wen Chi had protected her, felt embarrassed about her earlier actions.
“I’m sorry. I acted impulsively.”
“My name is Jiang Yi. What’s your name?”
“My name is Wen Chi.”
“Wen as in gentle, Chi as in late encounter.”
Wen Chi replied with a smile.
