Chapter 40: Volume 1 Chapter 40: Black-bellied x Arrogant (4)

Xie Wuchen heard the voice, a faint smile appeared on his lips, and he softly said, "Mm, I'm stupid."

Those gentle, water-like black eyes gazed at her, as if she were his lover, utterly tender.

But she showed no change in expression, nodding in agreement: "Exactly!"

Her intelligence is not to be underestimated by others.

Xie Wuchen stared deeply at the girl's face for a long while, then turned his head to survey the surroundings, his expression slightly pausing, "Was it you who brought me here?"

Jiang Zhi let out a snort from her nose, "Yeah, you suddenly fainted; I thought something had happened to you."

Xie Wuchen's brows and eyes, like an ink painting, were brushed with a faint glow; he ignored her retreat and stepped closer step by step.

"Are you worried about me?"

The man's voice seemed to seep into a mountain stream's clear spring, clear and moist.

He stepped forward; Jiang Zhi stepped back until her back pressed against the hard wall behind her, leaving no room to retreat.

"Just speak if you want to speak, why get so close? Xie Wuchen, I'm not deaf!"

The girl lifted her head, her eyes showing confusion and wariness of his sudden approach.

Xie Wuchen looked into her clear, unblemished eyes, surprised by her lack of romantic understanding.

The handsome man's scheme actually didn't work.

In her eyes, his appearance was no different from those zombies.

Xie Wuchen suddenly felt a sense of defeat, his pupils gradually deepening.

"Sorry, I wanted to thank you for saving me."

He stepped back, widening the distance between them.

Jiang Zhi let out an "oh" and said, "What for? I wasn't trying to save you; it was just that the rain was pouring hard, and an apartment building happened to be nearby, so I carried you up."

Xie Wuchen let out a light sigh, as if he had seen through her heart in an instant, and replied, "Mm, I understand."

Jiang Zhi: "." You know what you know.

As the night deepened, the apartment building seemed shrouded in thick black mist, making the outside invisible through the window.

The bloody rain continued, intermittent, its intensity unabated, as if it wanted to dump all the rain accumulated this month.

Jiang Zhi dared not touch the outside rain, standing by the glass window, blankly gazing at the scene outside.

Recalling her situation, a surge of sorrow welled up in her heart.

Xie Wuchen silently approached her back and softly asked, "What are you looking at?"

Jiang Zhi was startled by him, turned to see the man behind her; the faint red light from outside the window shone in his eyes, giving the illusion that beneath his gentle exterior lay darkness.

She froze, wanting to speak but stopping: "You"

Xie Wuchen frowned, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Zhi shook her head, averted her gaze, and said, "I feel something's off about this rain."

Xie Wuchen's narrow eyes slightly lifted, and he gently countered, "What problem?"

Jiang Zhi thought for a moment, then shook her head, "I can't put it into words."

In a corner unseen by her, Xie Wuchen's pitch-black pupils glimmered with excitement.

For ability users or ordinary people, it's just an ordinary rain, but for zombies, it's a heaven-sent realm of evolution.

The reason Xie Wuchen fainted was because he was evolving; after evolution, his abilities could be greatly enhanced.

Not only him, but zombies would also be greatly strengthened, even gaining intelligence.

After tonight.

Humanity will suffer the greatest catastrophic blow.

That scene should be quite interesting.

Jiang Zhi quickly noticed the abnormality of the man behind her and asked doubtfully, "Are you happy?"

Xie Wuchen: "."

"No, I'm very afraid."

The girl is very perceptive.

Unlike everyone else, she can easily see through his heart.

He didn't feel angry; instead, he felt pleased.

Since his rebirth, this is the first time he has felt pleasure.

Jiang Zhi, with her back to him, asked 777, "This guy pretends even more than the villains from the previous two worlds."

Wearing the guise of "I'm a good person," he easily lets everyone lower their guard, not even the male lead realizing he's a villain.

Such a nasty taste truly makes one shudder.

777: "There's no such thing as a good villain."

She yawned tiredly, preparing to go to the bedroom to sleep, "I'm going to sleep."

Xie Wuchen: "Good night."

At the moment the door closed, Xie Wuchen's facade vanished entirely; his slender fingers pushed open the window, allowing the bloody raindrops to fall onto his hand.

The raindrops merged with his skin temperature, icy and bone-chilling.

Xie Wuchen comfortably narrowed his eyes, feeling the outside rain; his usually pitch-black pupils were tinged with a chilling blood-red hue.

Dawn.

The first strand of golden sunlight streamed through the glass window onto the floor, dispelling the darkness inside.

When Jiang Zhi woke up, she discovered that the rain outside had stopped.

She got out of bed, pushed open the door, and saw Xie Wuchen entering from outside.

Xie Wuchen held food in his hand, waved it in front of her: "Have breakfast."

Jiang Zhi just woke, dazed a moment, looking at his food and his gentle smile, still thought she was before the apocalypse.

After reacting, she felt a considerable sense of disparity.

"Oh." She pouted, not wanting to see his face.

Xie Wuchen seeing that, looked puzzled at the food in his hand, asked: "You don't like eating these?"

His bag had bread, mineral water, and instant noodles.

The bread all have a one-year shelf life, inside are preservatives.

Jiang Zhi shook her head, "No."

In this apocalypse, what likes and dislikes? As long as food is edible, it's treasure.

After finishing breakfast.

They walked out of the apartment building.

Last night's heavy rain washed the whole city clean; the rotten smell permeating the air also disappeared, leaving fresh post-rain air.

Xie Wuchen sensed around, lifted his eyes, told her: "There aren't many zombies around."

Jiang Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, looking at his face also became much more pleasing.

It still has some effect, to some extent.

Xie Wuchen received her gaze, couldn't help but chuckle.

"I can kill zombies."

Jiang Zhi didn't expect him, but fearing to hit his confidence, she also didn't say rebuttal.

Xie Wuchen in the team serves a supportive role, most of the time behind them, sensing zombie tides from all directions.

Can play a considerable role.

Jiang Zhi glanced at his tall and slender figure, gripped the brick in her hand, said: "You'd better stay behind me, I'll do the killing."

The girl's black long hair fell with a faint golden glow, that exquisite delicate face full of 'killing intent'.

Looks extremely out of place.

Xie Wuchen's expression flickered slightly, he softly replied: "Yeah, you come protect me."

This sentence made Jiang Zhi very happy; if she had a tail behind her, it would be perked up to the sky right now.

On the way back, however, they didn't encounter any zombies, not a single one.

Jiang Zhi drooped her eyes, muttered softly: "When you want to see zombies, there aren't any; when you don't want to see them, they appear in droves!"

Xie Wuchen standing beside, having heard her words clearly, corners of his mouth slightly lifted, he restrained his aura.

Those zombies that had sensed danger and hidden, upon discovering the danger sense disappeared, suddenly rushed out.

Jiang Zhi just finished speaking, then saw three or four zombies running toward her, pupils constricted, hurriedly warned the man behind her: "Be careful!"
