Chapter 225: Chapter 223 Some level is human_1

Heh heh~

Eh heh...

Roar!

Just as Li Qingtian was crying, the few survivors previously killed by Li Henian abruptly stood up. Twisting their ungainly bodies, they slowly moved towards Li Qingtian.

Tang Ye furrowed his brow, glancing at her. An unseen "net" emanated from him, causing the newly-turned zombies to halt. They roared resentfully at Li Qingtian and then retreated reluctantly from the store.

Li Qingtian wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, her face devoid of emotion. She glanced at the retreating zombies and then at Tang Ye, her thoughts inscrutable.

"I saved your life."

Tang Ye said indifferently, brushing off her silence regarding his brazen claim that scattering a few zombies equated to saving her life. He then let go of Li Henian, preparing to handle the corpse.

"What’s your brother’s name?"

Tang Ye said abruptly, casting Li Qingtian into a pause. She looked at him, her eyes flat and devoid of any hatred, as if Tang Ye had nothing to do with her brother’s death.

"His name is Li Henian."

Having said this, she continued her task, tidying his clothes, painfully aware that his mutilated body could not be restored. As she began picking up her brother’s organs piece by piece, Tang Ye, growing impatient, twisted his neck and advanced, reaching out his hand towards her.

Li Qingtian reflexively resisted, but the pain from her injuries caused her to falter and collapse onto the ground. Despite this, Tang Ye abruptly grabbed her by the ankle, her skin smooth and understandably beautiful, leaving a trail of blood on the ground as he dragged her away.

"Still handling the body? Heh, there’s no need. In a few days, your brother will be nothing more than bones—the heavens will take care of it."

As Tang Ye spoke, Li Qingtian remained silent. Her hair, now freshened with dust, framed her vacant eyes which remained indifferent to the zombies that automatically gave way to Tang Ye.

Time dragged on, the clean clothes on her body now peppered with holes, her skin scraping against the ground left alarming trails of blood.

As they reached a junction, Tang Ye first surveyed the familiar streets before looking at the bloodied Li Qingtian sprawled on the ground.

"Get up!"

"I’m warning you—you had better not die. If you do...your brother’s corpse... heh heh, I don’t mind mutilating the dead, especially in front of your dead body."

"What do you want?"

After gently touching her aching back, she hissed lightly. But there came a certain sparkle in Tang Ye’s eyes. She had already deduced he had the ability to control zombies. To be able to drag her around a street infested with zombies—is he even human?

She was in no mood for those questions. Li Henian’s death was all she could think about. She had lost the will to go on, her survival instincts defeat. She believed it was best to act normal for now, whether

Tang Ye killed her or let her go. Either way, in the end, it’d be either her death or Tang Ye’s!

After looking at Li Qingtian’s bloody back and her impassive face, Tang Ye felt a surge of discontent. "I need to enter the survivor’s shelter, but I need your help."

"What can I do? Help you kill?"

"No, just stand next to me to signify that you are human."

"Human? You mean you’re not?"

Li Qingtian glanced at Tang Ye’s thick attire. It was summertime, and he was covered from head to toe, including a mask to cover his face—a dressing style uncharacteristic for summer.

"Heh heh, you can say I am human, but only partially."

"Oh." Li Qingtian replied flatly.

"After we get in, I’ll give you half an hour to get out of my sight. Otherwise, I am quite fond of seeing you in despair."

"You won’t kill me?"

"Why would I kill you? Killing you wouldn’t give me anything I want. But before we go in, change your clothes."

"You want me to find clothes? Didn’t you see all those zombies out there? If you want my help, I might just get consumed by that swarm of zombies."

"Then just stay here comfortably!"

With a cold snort, Tang Ye disappeared before her eyes. After he left, Li Qingtian looked around before slumping onto the ground again. Hugging her knees, she quietly sobbed.

When Tang Ye returned, he had a clean set of clothes in his hands. It still had the tags on, clearly taken from a clothing store.

Accepting the clothes from Tang Ye’s hands, Li Qingtian didn’t shy away and started changing her clothes right there, while Tang Ye did her the courtesy of turning away.

Listening to the rustling sound of her changing clothes, after a while, Tang Ye asked, "Are you done?"

"Done. You can turn around now."

Turning around, he saw a pretty young girl dressed in a pink loose-fitting T-shirt and denim shorts. But the calmness in the girl’s eyes was unsettling.

But this was only for humans. As for Tang Ye, his identity as a zombie was scary enough. What would the gaze of a weakling who could be squashed by him at any time, mean to him?

"Let’s go."

He said indifferently, leading Li Qingtian out of the dark alley. After a while, the amount of zombies around decreased significantly. They were eventually halted by a series of barricades. Beyond a low wall made up of abandoned cars, there was nothing else.

Tang Ye jumped onto the low wall, walking along it and jumping off a flat surface, with Li Qingtian following close behind.

Not far away stood a reinforced wall, atop which were several people armed with automatic rifles. Seeing the two strangers, the guards on the wall all pointed their guns at them.

This was not a threat, just a show of power, demonstrating the might of their survivor enclave!

"Hey! You two new here?"

A snobbish youth standing on the wall asked, his narrow eyes scanning them both. Seeing Tang Ye’s height, he appeared surprised. But his gaze lingered on Li Qingtian, filled with crude desire.

In this post-apocalyptic world, stumbling upon such an attractive girl set his heart aflutter.
