Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Chu Heng explained in detail, and the two women listened attentively.

Listening to Chu Heng’s explanation, the two women felt a sense of warmth in their hearts. They looked at Chu Heng with gratitude.

Soon, An Ya delivered the first piece of good news and successfully killed the zombie in front of her.

When she first faced the zombie, she was still a little flustered, but she quickly composed herself.

After all, with her attributes and a lethal weapon like the crowbar, she easily dealt with the zombie in front of her after the initial panic.

Meanwhile, Meng Yue’s performance was not as eye-catching.

After all, she was still an underage child. Faced with such a terrifying creature that only existed in movies, she subconsciously wanted to avoid it.

But the more she dodged, the fiercer the zombies chased.

At this moment, she was like a panicked rabbit. Her face was covered in tears, and she looked weak and pitiful.

At this moment, An Ya, who was watching from the side, finally understood Chu Heng’s intentions.

If not for Chu Heng’s arrow just now, if the two of them had not attacked, Meng Yue would probably have been caught by the zombie and bitten to death.

“It’s still too much of a stretch!”

Seeing this scene, Chu Heng, who was standing in the car, shook his head and slowly drew his bow, preparing to help Meng Yue deal with this zombie.

“Chu Heng, wait. Give her more time. She’ll have to take this step sooner or later.”

An Ya spoke suddenly. Her voice was cool, like the murmuring stream in the mountains.

“Won’t that be pushing her too far? She’s only a child, after all.”

Chu Heng frowned.

An Ya turned back to him and said playfully.

“Weren’t you in a hurry to chase her away? Why are you so sympathetic so quickly? Don’t tell me you like little girls.”

“It’ll get you in prison for at least three years, young man…”

Chu Heng was instantly speechless. He couldn’t help but roll his eyes. Then, he said frivolously, “What’s there to like about a little girl? If I like someone, I should like a cold and aloof big sister like you!”

“Tsk, tsk…” An Ya clicked her tongue and turned to Meng Yue. The smile on her face suddenly disappeared and she said calmly.

“Although it’s a little cruel to do this, this is the end of the world. These zombies don’t care about children. To them, food is no different.”

While the two of them were talking, Meng Yue was still being chased by the zombie.

After being chased for so long, she was gradually beginning to feel tired. She was sweating profusely, and her face was pale. She wasn’t sure if it was from exhaustion or fear.

However, the zombie behind him kept chasing after her with its lame leg, as if it didn’t feel tired at all.

She looked at Chu Heng and An Ya helplessly, but she saw that the two of them were looking at her expressionlessly without any intention of helping. She could not help but feel despair.

Only then did she realize how childish she had been.

She originally thought that Chu Heng shouldn’t treat her differently and shoot an arrow at the zombie behind him.

Now that she thought about it, she was really ashamed. If not for Chu Heng’s arrow, she would probably be dead now.

Then she heard An Ya’s voice in her ear:

“Meng Yue, no one in the apocalypse is willing to bring along a useless burden. If you don’t have the courage to face all of this and the determination to survive, you might as well give up struggling and let the zombie behind free you.”

Hearing Sister An Ya, whom she liked, say such cold words, Meng Yue couldn’t help but widen her eyes in disbelief.

Why would Sister An Ya say that…

I’m just a kid… Why do I have to deal with this…

But… I really don’t want to die… I haven’t got a boyfriend… I haven’t been reunited with Mom and Dad…

I don’t want… to be anyone’s… burden…

“Ah… ah… ah… ”

After letting out a few roars, Meng Yue suddenly sped up and took a few steps forward. Then, she stopped and turned to face the zombies behind her. She held out the sharpened steel pipe in her hand…

However… this stab was unexpectedly off…

She was petite and extremely nervous. The steel pipe in her hand was not aimed at the zombie’s head that Chu Heng had reminded her of, but at the zombie’s chest.

And this… was not the zombie’s fatal weakness.

As expected, the steel pipe passed through the zombie’s body, but the zombie rushed towards Meng Yue as if nothing had happened.

This stab had already exhausted Meng Yue’s strength and courage. Seeing this scene, her face immediately turned pale. She hurriedly gave up on the weapon in her hand and kept retreating before falling to the ground.

“Chu Heng…” An Ya suddenly shouted.

Before she could finish, Chu Heng had already shot the arrow in his hand.

With a whoosh, it hit the zombie between the eyes. The huge momentum carried by the arrow caused its body to fall back.

At the same time, An Ya’s body shot towards Meng Yue like an arrow.

Seeing the zombie fall to the ground, the two of them heaved a sigh of relief.

They looked at Meng Yue. At this moment, her eyes were dazed and lifeless. There seemed to be despair, unwillingness, hope, and confusion in her eyes.

After a while, she seemed to come to her senses. She buried her head between her legs and cried.

“I thought you really were going to leave her alone…”

Standing beside An Ya, Chu Heng suddenly smiled.

An Ya turned her head and glared at him.

“Hmph… Do you think I’m you…”

When she had finished, she was silent for a moment, her voice lowering. Then she said, “Actually, for a moment just now, I was considering if she really didn’t have the courage to turn around and attack the zombie, maybe it would be better to just let her die.”

Chu Heng was silent for a moment before shaking his head.

“After all, not everyone can adapt to the world as quickly as you. She’s already much better than most people!”

An Ya nodded noncommittally. After thinking about it, she handed Chu Heng a packet of tissues.

“Go on, soothe her…”

“Girls are the easiest to conquer in this situation…”

Chu Heng couldn’t help but roll his eyes.

“If you want to go, go yourself… Don’t keep talking about this. Who has the mood for that at this time…”

“Besides… She’s not yet an adult… I can’t do such a thing…”

An Ya looked at Meng Yue and replied calmly.

“She’s probably hating me right now…”

Chu Heng rolled his eyes again.

“You make it sound like she doesn’t hate me…”

An Ya was silent. She suddenly turned around and looked at Chu Heng strangely.

“You’re not—”

Chu Heng was stunned for a moment and did not react. He asked in confusion.

“Not what?”

A malicious smile suddenly appeared on An Ya’s lips.

“Don’t tell me… You’re impotent…”

“Bullshit…” Chu Heng was instantly furious.

As it turned out, men were patient and gentlemanly most of the time, except when their potency was questioned.

An Ya smirked. “I get it… I get it… I’m a doctor… this kind of thing is pretty common… don’t be discouraged…”

Chu Heng waved his hand angrily.

“F*ck off. If you don’t believe me, why don’t we find a place to test it tonight?”

An Ya scowled at him and blushed. “What a pig…” she whispered.

On closer inspection, one could see a blush rising on her cheeks.

They did not dwell on the conversation. Both of them tacitly avoided it.

An Ya walked towards Meng Yue with the tissues in her hand. Chu Heng reminded her, “I’ll go over there to take a look. Be careful…”

Then, he walked in the direction where the zombies had surged out.

He had some doubts about the origin of these zombies.

There were a total of 52 zombies in the underground parking lot. He had known this before he entered the parking lot. After cleaning up, he had also checked the number and it matched.

Then where did these zombies… come from?
