Chapter 42 (1/2)

Shen Chen’s words implied something else. Ye Tianlong’s face suddenly froze. He stammered and didn’t know what to say, so he had to make a few awkward laughs to cover it.

This really was a neighborhood of low occupancy. There were only a few zombies along the way, and Shen Chen easily got rid of them. As they passed through the children’s park of the neighborhood, several five-year-old zombies staggered over and roared.

Looking at the little zombies, who used to be pure and lovely kids, Shen Chen shook his head helplessly. If now was the end of the world, what he felt the worst about was the children. They couldn’t protect themselves and were often the first targets to be attacked by zombies. Even if they avoided the initial misfortune, they wouldn’t be able to survive long in the future.

Many people abandoned their children, as, in their eyes, children were the most cumbersome burden when they ran away. Even during the previous miserable famine, children became a kind of food, something to preserve men’s physical strength.

Shen Chen sighed slightly. Ye Tianlong only saw the glint and flash of Shen Chen’s knife, then the heads of the children flew far away. When Shen Chen was just about to leave, he heard Ye Tianlong say, “Wait!”

Shen Chen looked back and saw Ye Tianlong trotting forward. Ye Tianlong ran to the dead children and moved their bodies together. He covered them with dead branches and leaves and even scattered a handful of dust on them, which was his way of saying rest in peace.

After that, Ye Tianlong said with a bitter smile, “I just hope that they can leave peacefully. They won’t suffer anymore there. And there will be no more zombies in heaven!”

Shen Chen’s deep eyes darkened a lot. This Ye Tianlong in front of him was totally different from what he remembered in the past. At this time, the sincerity in Ye Tianlong’s eyes wasn’t fake at all, and Shen Chen was even surprised to see compassion in his eyes. However, in the previous life, Ye Tianlong was a man charged with numerous criminal accusations. So, who was the real him, exactly?

Shen Chen loosened his grip on the black blade. ‘Maybe… Should I give him another chance?’ Shen Chen asked himself.

Soon, they came to the supermarket that Ye Tianlong had spoken of. There was no trace of pilfering in the supermarket. The supermarket shelves were fully occupied by goods. Ye Tianlong proudly opened the supermarket door with his key. The lovely Hello Kitty key ring swung up and down in his hands.

Shen Chen said, “Go get the stuff. I’ll wait for you at the door!”

Ye Tianlong waited for a moment before he asked, “Bro, are you not going in with me?” Then he added with a smile, “I’ve got many things you may need. Take whatever you want, bro.”

“I don’t need it. Go and get it yourself,” Shen Chen said. It was true that Shen Chen also needed food and other necessities, but he was unwilling to take stuff right in front of the owner.

Ye Tianlong looked worried, but he didn’t dare say anything. Finally, he nodded and walked into the supermarket alone. Shen Chen looked at his back, and his eyes narrowed to a thin line. He looked at the knife in his hand, slowly approached Ye Tianlong, and slowly raised the knife.

Ye Tianlong suddenly mumbled, “Ah, Xiao Bao is drinking this brand of powder, and he also needs some diapers…”

Shen Chen’s breath suddenly caught in his throat. He took a few deep breaths, then he put down the knife again. At this time, Ye Tianlong was still a good guy in Shen Chen’s eyes. He couldn’t kill a good person because of what happened in the future.
