Lin Jiawen finally found Bai Yichen. He searched for three days and three nights. When he saw the familiar figure again, tears welled up in his eyes uncontrollably.
How could he not cry? Seeing the person whom he had held dear to his heart for so many years, whom he was reluctant to touch, become like this, how could he not be heartbroken
The person he loved deeply, the originally fair and shiny skin was gone, and turned into a strange bluish-gray color. There were several tiny wounds on his face, oozing out a gray-black viscous liquid. The clothes that were originally wrapped around his body were now dirty and tattered. What made Lin Jiawen even more unacceptable was that Bai Yichen had lost a hand. His right sleeve had been completely torn, and the exposed right arm was covered with bite marks, some of which were so deep that they were exposed to the bone. As for the palm, it seemed as if it had been pulled by brute force, and the entire palm was gone.
Lin Jiawen knew that people who had just transformed into zombies still had some fresh flesh and blood elements left in their bodies, and zombies craving for flesh and blood would not be picky about food, so some zombies would attack zombies that had just transformed. Lin Jiawen had seen many zombies with missing limbs before, so he was accustomed to all this, but when all this happened to Bai Yichen, he felt that he could hardly bear it.
This scene was even more terrifying to him than his worst nightmare.
And what’s even scarier is that it’s real.
Because his emotions were too intense, Lin Jiawen's teeth couldn't help but make a chattering sound. The noise he made also made the zombies that were originally wandering blindly discover his existence and the breath of a living person. These zombies let out excited roars and rushed towards him one after another, naturally including Bai Yichen who had turned into a zombie.
As soon as Lin Jiawen thought that Bai Yichen's lost hand might be in the stomachs of these zombies, he could no longer control his emotions. He took a step forward, stretched out his hand to grab a zombie's neck, twisted it with a snap, threw it aside fiercely, and then reached out to the next one...
The brutal torture lasted almost the entire afternoon. All the zombies here, except Bai Yichen, had all their bones broken first, then were crushed more finely, and then split into piles of meat. If it weren't for the fact that these zombies had already lost all their fresh flesh and blood and no creature was willing to eat them, Lin Jiawen would have let these things be eaten up by other creatures.
After burning all the remaining zombie flesh with a fire, Lin Jiawen looked up at Bai Yichen, who was tied to a tree with soft cloth. His expression became gentle and he said softly, "Mengchen, I'm here to pick you up. Let's go home."
As the human approached, the zombie, who only cared about pursuing flesh and blood, roared even more excitedly. Unfortunately, his hands and feet were tightly wrapped in cloth, and he could only struggle in vain beside the tree.
Lin Jiawen approached Bai Yichen, who had turned into a zombie, and held him in his arms without a care. He only paid a little attention to avoid the zombie's mouth that was trying to bite him.
With Lin Jiawen's strength as a top-level psychic, it takes almost no effort for him to control a zombie that has just mutated. He holds the zombie in one hand and gently strokes the zombie's hair with the other hand. His attitude towards this zombie is as if he were still alive. The only difference is that Lin Jiawen no longer suppresses his emotions. He looks into the zombie's eyes, and the deep affection in his eyes is simply frightening.
…
After that day, Lin Jiawen disappeared completely in Lingxiao Base. From then on, Lingxiao Base lost a powerful psychic. In contrast, the psychic named Lin from City Z went back.
The only difference is that this time, the powerful psychic named Lin no longer keeps his distance from the Lingxiao base, and will even lend a hand to rescue people in distress.
The psychics who returned to City Z were full of prejudice and hatred towards the Lingxiao Base. Even the area in the center of the city that could be monitored by the powerful psychic became a restricted area for everyone in the Lingxiao Base, because once someone from the Lingxiao Base was discovered by the psychic, they would be thrown directly to the most densely populated and most mutant areas in City Z. Those places have always been the dangerous areas that Lingxiao Base has warned everyone about. Even if a psychic with good strength wants to come out alive after being thrown in, the hope is very slim.
So now, when the people in Lingxiao Base encounter the powerful psychic from City Z, the expressions on their faces are no less than those of Death.
But being targeted again and again like this is something everyone would get angry about, not to mention that Lingxiao Base considers itself to be one of the largest bases in the vicinity. There is no reason for the people in their base to be bullied like this, not to mention that the psychic named Lin had once stayed in their base for two months. He is simply an ungrateful person.
In the midst of public outrage, a group of people clamored to gather the strength of the base and attack him together. After all, no matter how strong that psychic was, he was just one person. With so many psychics in their base, not to mention a psychic as powerful as Xiao Tou'er, it would be absolutely no problem for them to deal with that lone man.
However, their leader, Xiao Yi, who is also the most powerful psychic among them, did not react to this proposal. He just said, "Since he won't let us enter the center of Z city, we should stay away from the base and be careful not to enter that area."
Everyone in the base who heard these words were stunned and looked at Xiao Yi in disbelief.
However, Xiao Yi did not react at all when facing everyone's gaze. There was no fluctuation on his face, and his eyes were calm and dead.
This is a very young leader, but for some reason, he seems to be shrouded in a heavy aura of decadence.
…
At the same time, in the center of Z city, the supernatural being named Lin, who was being attacked by everyone, was in a warmly decorated house, gently wiping the face of a tied-up zombie with a wet towel.
That day, after Lin Jiawen found Bai Yichen who had turned into a zombie, he returned to City Z, to the home where they had lived for five years, and then carefully kept the zombie in captivity.
He changed "him" into clean clothes, washed his body, combed his hair, and did his best to make "him" clean, because he knew that "he" loved cleanliness the most when he was alive and would not be able to stand his dirty appearance.
He even kept "him" in his bedroom when he was alive, and took "him" to his favorite study for a while every day, and everything was just like they used to be.
The only difference was that most of the time, Lin Jiawen would tie up the zombies' hands and feet with soft cloth, not for any other reason, but because the zombies would scratch the door unconsciously when they heard the noise outside, tirelessly trying to rush out, and he would feel heartbroken when he saw "him" scratching the door until his nails were curled up.
He knew that zombies liked fresh flesh and blood, so he would go out hunting every once in a while to get fresh flesh and blood to please "him". In fact, if he hadn't known that zombies would not be able to accept it with their personalities in their lifetime, he wouldn't even mind using Lingxiao Base as a source of fresh flesh and blood. After all, his most beloved people were already dead, so why were those people still alive and well
After finding Ling Mengchen who had turned into a zombie, Lin Jiawen also managed to figure out all the details of what happened at the base that day, and then connected everything together.
Even after knowing everything, he had to admit that there were many coincidences in all these things, which ultimately led to this irreversible consequence, but he could not forgive!
He could not forgive Xiao Yi for spreading the rumor that alarmed the man infected with the zombie virus. He could not forgive Qi Yuanyuan for dragging Meng Chen to be buried with Xiao Yi in order to retaliate against Xiao Yi after being infected with the zombie virus. He could not forgive the people he sent to protect Meng Chen for failing to protect him. Similarly, he could not forgive himself for leaving Meng Chen alone in the base so easily and leaving so easily.
His naive thinking was the main culprit that caused him to lose Meng Chen. Why did he trust others so easily? Why did he put Meng Chen's safety in the hands of others
But no matter how much he hated her, what could he do? The person he loved most would never come back. He was like a traumatized beast. He could only hold the only things he had and return to his familiar territory to lick his wounds.
But he knew that the death of his beloved would not be let go. Qi Yuanyuan, who infected Meng Chen with the virus, had already turned into a zombie. The people who protected Gu Song, who failed to do his duty, had Meng Chen's handwritten words of appeal. He could not take revenge on these two. However, Xiao Yi, the person who had caused Meng Chen's death from beginning to end, would not let him go...
…
…
Many years later...
The door of the room where the zombies were kept was opened, and the figure who visited here every day appeared at the door again. However, today the figure did not appear as punctually as usual, and his posture was not as upright as before, and there was a strange slowness in his steps.
The man walked into the room, and through a ray of light coming in from the window, he could see that his face was unusually pale.
The zombies, who had been carefully cared for for many years and had even advanced to level three, keenly smelled a hint of fresh blood on the person who came, which they had never smelled before, and they immediately roared excitedly.
When Lin Jiawen saw the zombie's excitement, a helpless look appeared on his face, "I still can't hide it from you." As he spoke, a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
However, he didn't care about his uncontrollable internal bleeding. Instead, he looked at the zombies struggling fiercely with a distressed look on his face, "Don't move. Be careful."
He didn't care about his injuries, he was just worried that the zombies' violent movements would hurt him. After all, after the opponent had been upgraded to a level three zombie, in order to be able to effectively control the opponent, he had to change to a strong enough iron chain.
Lin Jiawen took two steps closer to the zombie and could clearly feel that "he" was getting more excited. He couldn't help but show a happy expression, "I know you miss me too."
Even though zombies would actually get excited by the proximity of any living human flesh and blood, Lin Jiawen apparently forced himself to ignore this point.
Lin Jiawen approached the zombie and looked at "him" with an unusually gentle expression. Over the years, he had never forgotten the oath he had made, and he had found opportunities to sneak attack Xiao Yi countless times.
As the leader of the base, Xiao Yi seldom goes out, and he is always surrounded by many psychics, so sneak attacks are extremely difficult. But even so, Lin Jiawen's sneak attacks still left Xiao Yi seriously injured several times.
And this time, he was more successful than ever before.
But the only pity is that he still failed to take his life in one fell swoop.
But even so, he believed that the injuries he had inflicted on Xiao Yi were enough to make him feel better.
Thinking of this, a bright smile appeared on Lin Jiawen's face, but soon, he thought of that incident again, and his face suddenly became gloomy. Xiao Yi, that person, how dare he, how could he still have the face to mention him, how could a person be so shameless!
Whenever he thought of the shameless and wishful thinking Xiao Yi had asked him, he became furious.
Xiao Yi, he actually dared to ask him for Meng Chen's body!
