Chapter 5 Ouch! Why are you so close?
Meng Xiaoyou also noticed something was wrong, because the zombie that had been robbing her had stopped its vicious roar and instead turned around shakily, its kneecaps creaking as they hit the ground.
She looked in the direction the zombie had turned and her eyes widened suddenly.
The man, with his back to the setting sun, appeared lonely and cold. His body was tall and elegant, and his eyes and brows were more indifferent and detached than ever before, as if covered with a layer of frost, with a hint of gloom.
He seemed to be in a bad mood; his calm expression was like the calm before a storm, ready to unleash a raging torrent and drown people in the abyss.
Anyone else would have been terrified and silenced, but the cowardly mushroom shouted anxiously, "Run! There are zombies!"
However, as soon as she finished speaking, Pei Sinian strolled around as if he were walking in a garden, and stepped on the zombie in front of her that was missing its lower leg. The cracking sound of bones breaking was enough to make anyone's scalp tingle.
Meng Xiaoyou paid no attention to the zombie's dying growls; instead, she stared wide-eyed in shock.
day!
She has discovered the secret to how humans have been able to go out unharmed these past few days.
What's that saying about humans again...?
Yes, barefoot people aren't afraid of those wearing shoes.
This blind man does whatever he wants, regardless of whether there are zombies or not, since he can't see them anyway, he can step on anything.
Meng Xiaoyou shrank back, afraid that the man would step on her and kill her.
There was a wall behind her, leaving her nowhere to hide. She started bubbling anxiously and whispered a reminder: "I'm in front of you, don't step on me."
The pitiful, lame zombie was still pretending to be dead at Pei Sinian's feet. Pei Sinian paused, his calm eyes following the sound, then moved his foot and walked towards Meng Xiaoyou. He raised his hand to grab the back of her neck, but his fingertips only grasped air.
"..."
Until a bubble touched his finger, light and shadow appeared in Pei Sinian's eyes. He lowered his gaze and finally saw Meng Xiaoyou squatting pitifully in the corner.
She was like a stray cat that had run away from home, her clothes were dirty, and she held her head with her two little hands. Bubbles and spray bottles came out from all directions. The purple bubbles were dreamlike in the rose-colored sunset, just like her clear and bright eyes, which reflected Pei Sinian's figure.
My eyes were filled with him.
They look so well-behaved and pitiful.
But why run away?
Pei Sinian slowly squatted down, brushed away the messy foam, and covered her head with his slender palm.
Her hair was fine, soft, fluffy, and smooth, and felt fuzzy to the touch.
When he placed it on, the human initially shrank back, but soon shrugged and didn't resist.
Pei Sinian was completely baffled. His identity as a zombie had never been exposed, so why was she always afraid, yet also close to him?
Unfortunately, despite his many doubts, he still couldn't speak. He could only pok at the mushroom-shaped head intermittently. After feeding her for a while, the little girl's face had become a bit plumper than when they first met. When he poked her with his fingertip, a small indentation would appear, and it would spring back when he let go.
After repeating this process several times, Meng Xiaoyou finally spoke up: "Let's go back. There might be other zombies coming later. You can kill this one, but you might not be able to kill the next one."
Pei Sinian's light gray eyes fell on her dusty face, and he nodded slightly.
Hmm, it's a bit dirty. I'll wash it before eating.
He picked up the little girl and slowly walked home, not forgetting to stomp on the lame zombie as they passed.
Another sickening cracking sound followed.
The lame zombie: "..."
Meng Xiaoyou glanced back and whispered to Pei Sinian, "Let's go, this zombie is swearing so rudely."
Pei Sinian didn't hear her. With a blank expression, he grabbed her by the back of the neck, took her home, went upstairs, and threw her into the bathroom in one swift motion.
Meng Xiaoyou was already used to someone's behavior. She had heard that some people have obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and in severe cases, they would find even things that weren't dirty to be dirty and would clean them repeatedly. Not to mention that she had just been pressed against the corner of the wall and her clothes were covered in dirt.
Wanting to befriend a germaphobe, the timid mushroom wisely took a bath, changed her clothes, and then painstakingly washed off the clothes she had worn before hanging them out to dry. When she went downstairs, she found that the man had changed his shoes and was spraying disinfectant on his previous pair.
His movements were like those of a rusty machine, slow, yet each gesture was elegant and graceful.
Meng Xiaoyou volunteered to take the small bottle and sprayed it on him from head to toe to make sure it was thoroughly disinfected. Then she sat down next to him and told him, "You still have to be careful when you go out in the future. Today you were lucky to run into a short, lame zombie. If you run into a tall, strong zombie, you won't be able to step on it."
Although the timid mushroom is cowardly, it forgets everything it has learned. If you treat it even slightly well, it will approach you without any defenses. If you scold it, it will immediately retreat under its little umbrella and observe you from the shadows.
At that moment, she was so focused on instructing the humans she considered weak that she was completely unaware that her slender, white nape was exposed to the zombies without any reservation.
As long as his fingertips brush against her fair skin, he can turn her into one of his own kind.
Let her become a walking corpse.
Unfortunately, none of this was what Pei Sinian wanted. There were so many zombies outside, which he could control at any time, yet he still found it boring.
A corpse that cannot speak will never be as useful as a grain reserve.
She can help him regain his sight, soothe his uncontrollable agitation, and whisper softly in his ear, saying things that zombies can't understand.
Yes, most of the time, zombies can't understand what human girls say; they can only grasp the general meaning. For example, right now, Meng Xiaoyou's words mean to the zombies that he is not as good as the tall and strong zombies.
Pei Sinian couldn't understand what a competitive mentality was. His chest was filled with a strange displeasure, but he didn't show it on his face. He used his large hand to press down on the human's shaking head.
His fingertips were icy cold, which made the timid mushroom squint her eyes with pleasure. Her eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings fluttering with joy. She couldn't help but turn her head and rub against his palm. She didn't notice the man's lips approaching and continued to ramble, "You have no idea how worried I was when you didn't come back today. I just wanted to go out and try my luck to see if I could find you. I didn't expect that you would come looking for me instead. I'm sorry for troubling you."
Pei Sinian's movements came to an abrupt halt. Meng Xiaoyou suddenly felt a chill on the back of her neck, turned her head, and met the man's gaze.
The two were very close, and her nose bumped against the edge of his glasses, instantly filling her eyes with tears.
"Hey, why are you so close? Your teeth?"
As the last rays of the setting sun faded, the man's face seemed shrouded in shadow, making his handsome features, already cold and aloof, appear even more defined. The sharp teeth on either side of his thin lips were faintly visible, adding to his sinister air and making him look even more dangerous.
Under Meng Xiaoyou's surprised gaze, Pei Sinian pursed his lips, covering his exposed fangs, his profile looking somewhat disheveled.
It turns out she wasn't running away from him; she went out to find him.
But now that she has seen his ugly fangs and knows he is a zombie, she really should run away.
Pei Sinian's eyes were unfathomable as he gripped Meng Xiaoyou's wrist, his fangs leaving indentations on either side of her lips.
Only by eating her will she not escape.
