Chương 5: Second-order Zombie

Li Xiang who was washing the clothes nearby perceive the happy atmosphere around the white-haired youth took a glance then returned to wash.

it's not that he didn't realize how his temper changed overnight, it's just that when he's with the boy, the thinking is more relaxed and it made me realize how tired I was in my last life, full of hate, anger, and fear, it still doesn't mean that I won't return the old grudges when I meet one but for now, I can help myself but want to live at peace with my cat, in retreat .besides my powers also came back with me. it's true what they say 'just follow what makes you happy' no more responsibilities, no stress or anxiety about getting backstabbed.

nightfall,

we managed to find a 2 story house powdered with mud that settled on everything. Nothing that should have been white was, clean laundry came in dirty from the clothesline. It swirled in the dry air and made its way into our lungs.

feeling my discomfort, Li Xiang went to prepare a place for us to sleep temporarily, and later went to hang up the laundry to dry. He came back picks up and put me on the bed.

"don't worry. I'll light up a fire. It won't be cold anymore."

He grabs parts of wood from the furniture in the house. Makes a bone fire using the fire that came out of his hand. I grab his in shock staring daggers at it. Trying to figure out how he did it.

" What kind of magic trick is this? Does he have other powers than the space powers? Is that awesome??"

Looked at Erhas face twinkling stars while grabbing his hand turning it around over and over again like a curious kitten. It was amusing but it also made me question him more. it's like he never saw an ability user,2 years already passed and it was 3 months after the apocalypse that ability users started showing, I can only conclude that he was living under a rock or he's not human but that can't be, aliens and monsters are both hostile towards humans.

I feel uncomfortable, my skin is dry and I feel scared of fire for some reason, just a flower wilting greedy for water.

"I want water" I signal with my finger to my mouth

"hungry??"

" no, water" I frown my eyebrows,

" are thirsty ?"

I nod my head then start to grab his sleeve urging him to be quick

"hahaha, ok I get I'll be fast" magically a bottle of water shows up in his hands, i chug it in one breath

" it's not enough, I need more"

" give me, more "

he gave me 3 bottles but I still felt my skin wilting so I directly drenched the 4th bottle on top of my head.

" oh god, it feels comfortable, one more !!!"

.....

tomorrow morning, I get to wear my new clothes

" how do I look?" I turn around, making poses.

" you look good, I just think that having long hair these days is not convenient what about I cut it for you, I assure you that you will still look good "

right !!! I forgot again I can use my hair to communicate with my people, I just need to get inside the signal rage or wait for them to come to look for me, they can always catch my scent.

it took me a while to answer so Li Xiang assumed that I didn't want to, which is right.

" since you don't want to, it's also ok ..." as if sensing something he stops his movements.

" a second-order Zombie !!!! go hide inside I'll take care of it quickly "

is he playing the hero? of course, I have to go and help!!! I'm also a man and I'm strong enough

" I'm going too "I clutch his arms refusing to let go

" you!!!" LI Xiang grabs his head as if having a headache. but I don't care, you can think of me as holding you away or getting in the way but you can't leave me alone behind like cannon fodder after all I can only be the second main character only by sticking to the protagonist !!!! plus I won't die, out of convenience I too can show him my manliness.

" A second-order zombie is no joke, a scratch from him can turn into a zombie"

" then why do you have to act cool and go kill him," I say but Li Xian didn't understand it

" once I deal with it, I'll start teaching you Chinese "

why think of this at this time? still acting all cool and confident

" hmph"

a slender shadow is running toward us at a super speed from afar, and it didn't take him long to reach us, the way he stood in front of us appears exactly like in horror and fantasy films; covered in blood, dressed in ripped clothes while the rotten flesh and sulfuric smell numbed my nose. and unlike the other Zombies dragging their body parts down the street, this one had long arms with sharp nails and long legs full of muscles, showing an obvious contrast between the top and bottom parts.

after it finished observing us, it directly rushed to gnaw on our flesh. the next moment it froze?? huh?! what did just happen ?! you mean that's it? no drama? no chance for me to show my abilities? Li Xiang is actually op?

feeling courageous I get closer to the ice sculpture of a Zombie, I was just about to touch it with my finger

"careful!!!" Li Xiang suddenly pushes me, I then hear a rippling voice ' shhh" through the air, I then fall to the ground.

it all happened fast and when I had time to react and turn my face toward Li Xiang, I see an arrow stabbed in his shoulder.

"Oh NOOO," I stand up right away, then go check on him.

"are you ok?"

"you're not gonna die are you ?"

"does it hurt? do you need help "

I can't believe that not only did I hold him back, but I also caused him harm.

" I'm sorry" I bow my head then I shed tears.

wait !! tears

noooo
