52 Chapter 52: Li Xiaoyu I (1/2)
The world has changed.
Since the moment my brother told me, I knew that though I was a skeptic.
I Li Xiaoyu will make sure to protect my brother! That was something I swore to myself the moment our parents died. My brother isn't exactly the most normal older brother that all people have, although he is a good one. My brother is a bit off in the head is what some would call him, meaning he's a bit of an idiot at times and a bit of a genius when it comes to certain things. Which is why he gets bullied often.
When my brother should have arrived at the airport I called him to make sure he got there fine and that's when I was informed of the Apocalypse.

I saw the new channel broadcasting news of the Apocalypse all over and saw with my very eyes a broadcaster who got bitten to death by the zombies.
When my brother called me at first I didn't believe a single thing out of his goddamned mouth. I was a little more than skeptical about his claims for my brother's history of claiming there is an apocalypse, isn't a clean one.
He's been one to think about all sorts of things up in his mind that I just can't help but be skeptical about his claims of there being an apocalypse out there. My big brother is a grown man who is also a Chunibyo at heart and likes singing nursery rhymes... How do you expect me to trust him?
So I wasn't worried one bit when he hung up the phone. I mean he did this sort of prank on me before this telling me that the adults on earth have turned into Giant man-eating chickens to scare me. It was only after reading a Manga about Adults turning into chickens did I know where his inspired prank came from.
It was naturally a Manga where all his crazy ideas came to life in his mind.
I had told my brother before that rather than becoming an HVAC technician he should've simply become a manga artist but he wouldn't listen.
When our parents died life was tough. My brother dropped out of college to lessen the expenses for the family and started to work after getting his certificate in HVAC.
He got an offer to work with a friend of his in Chicago so he took the offer and decided to work there. I, on the other hand, am already 16. I wanted more independence and decided to stay in new york. We were living in a small apartment in NYC which cost about 900 dollars a month so I decided to stay to and finish my education here without having to move to a new school in Chicago.
My brother comes back once every 2 weeks to check on me. While I simply lie to the rest of the world that I live at home alone. For there should generally be a parent or guardian in the house. But usually, the school doesn't check or even know so it was fine.
Life was simple and easy.
