Chương 29: 027 Saint Mary Sue

Fang Yuyang stood next to Fang Yuxin, keenly noticing that her mood was off. He turned his head and saw her face was colder than usual, hostility clearly evident. He glanced subconsciously at the dozen or so people standing together nearby, his gaze quickly locking onto the woman who had just spoken.

True, the woman was quite likable in appearance and, in such circumstances, seemed unflustered and rather at ease, which was indeed rare. Under normal circumstances, he would have admired such a woman. However, since Fang Yuxin obviously harbored strong hostility towards this woman, he naturally lost any goodwill towards her as well.

Turning his gaze away, Fang Yuyang slightly tilted his head and asked Fang Yuxin in a low voice, "Xinxin, what's the matter? Do you know her?"

Fang Yuxin nodded. Although she had told Fang Yuyang most of what she had dreamed, there was still much she kept hidden, including about this woman. Her name was Lin Feiyin. Although of modest origins, she was generous and extremely compassionate; these were not issues, those traits might even be considered virtues; however, Lin Feiyin's kindness was always at the expense of others, which made her the type who inadvertently sabotaged her own team!

In the dream, both she and Fang Yuyang had been saved by Lin Feiyin, who had also given them shelter and formed a team with them. Initially, they were very grateful to Lin Feiyin, but as they spent more time together, Lin Feiyin's saintly act had become apparent. The supplies they worked hard to gather, Lin Feiyin could easily give away to others, always taking the lead without considering the consequences.

Regrettably, Lin Feiyin had saved their lives, so even when she became a burden, they couldn't just abandon her. Because of this, they had faced countless dangers, and ultimately, it was also because of her that Fang Yuyang met his miserable death! How could Fang Yuxin still like her? Any initial goodwill had been completely worn away!

Now, none of it had happened yet. She wouldn't seek revenge on Lin Feiyin over the events in her dream, but she also didn't wish to have any further involvement with her.

Thus, Fang Yuxin said sternly, "We were just passing by and noticed there were people here, so we came to check it out. Since you all are fine, we'll be leaving now." After speaking, she grabbed Fang Yuyang, ready to turn and walk away.

But Lin Feiyin interjected, "Wait! We have nine injured here. Since you've come, why not help by taking them to the hospital? Also, was there an earthquake outside? And what's with these zombies, do you know what's going on?"

Her attitude was very calm, neither overly humble nor commanding, but it was this attitude of taking things for granted that greatly upset Fang Yuxin. She remembered that in the dream, Lin Feiyin was the same way: acting without considering the consequences or others' wishes, just doing how she pleased. Remarkably natural in manner, not seeming contrived at all, making those who would refuse appear petty.

But the Lin Feiyin in her dream had saved her and Fang Yuyang's lives; they had no choice but to compromise. This Lin Feiyin had no such ties with them!

So Fang Yuxin directly stated, "We have other matters and can't help. Just a heads-up, there are a lot of zombies outside; you should be cautious. We've nearly cleared out the zombies in this commercial center, but still be careful when you go outside. It'd be best to find some weapons for self-defense."

After speaking, she pulled Fang Yuyang to leave, but Lin Feiyin spoke again, this time noticeably displeased, "How can you just leave like this! We still have injured people here, you can't just leave. Don't you have any compassion?"

Initially, Fang Yuyang didn't understand why Fang Yuxin disliked Lin Feiyin, but following Lin Feiyin's second outburst, he understood. He hadn't planned to speak, as bullying a woman was really against his principles. But hearing her accusation, he couldn't help himself; clenching his fist, he turned and coldly glanced at Lin Feiyin and those beside her, chuckling coldly, "If we had no compassion, we wouldn't have come to rescue you at all! Remember, saving you was out of kindness, not obligation!"

After he finished speaking, Fang Yuyang grabbed Fang Yuxin and quickly walked out. He was worried that if he stayed any longer, he wouldn't be able to restrain himself from hitting the woman! Their steps were quick, even if those people intended to follow, they couldn't catch up. Once they were far away, Fang Yuyang couldn't help but ask Fang Yuxin in irritation, "Xinxin, next time keep your distance from that inexplicable woman, and don't bother with her!"

Fang Yuxin nodded with a smile, quite satisfied with the outcome. In the dream, because Lin Feiyin had saved them, siblings, Fang Yuyang initially had a good impression of Lin Feiyin. However, after Lin Feiyin's flaws were exposed, Fang Yuyang had suffered greatly. Now, they no longer had to be involved with Lin Feiyin, and even Fang Yuyang had lost his fondness for her, so Fang Yuxin didn't have to worry that Fang Yuyang would foolishly fall for Lin Feiyin in the future.

After the two left, they got into the car and drove away from the shopping center. Not long after driving out, Fang Yuxin and Fang Yuyang saw through the rearview mirror a private car entering the shopping center, probably to look for supplies. They glanced once and paid it no more attention, continuing to drive into the city.

…

Lin Feiyin watched the retreating figures of the two with astonishment, frowning and speaking discontentedly, "Those two are too much, refusing even to help!" After she spoke, she looked at a few injured people and asked with a worried expression, "Are you all right? Should we go out first? We should be able to find someone to help."

The others nodded their heads, and one person asked, "Feiyin, what do you think those two people were doing just now? Their outfits were so cool."

At that moment, Lin Feiyin remembered the attire of those two. They were dressed in tight clothes that perfectly outlined their figures, the man handsome and attractive, the woman sexy and charming, especially their outfits, like something out of a movie, but who knew who they really were.

She scoffed, "Who knows what they were up to, they might have been playing COSPLAY. Let's just get out of here, I don't know what the situation is like outside, and my phone has had no signal, which is really strange."

The group walked cautiously, carefully avoiding the corpses on the ground as they moved. In the darkness, the survivors whispered among themselves, their expressions varied. Particularly the nine injured people didn't speak, their pale faces looking exceedingly frightening. Because it was so dark and everyone else was also in bad shape, no one had yet realized there was something wrong with them.

Lin Feiyin checked her phone again, which still showed no signal, and the battery was down to one bar. Thinking about the zombies and those two oddly dressed people, she felt a deep worry inside.

Could it be... the end of the world had truly come?
