38 Zombie Queen has the Biggest Thigh of All 14 (2/2)

”Don't worry, we'll take good care of you here,” The girl said, reassuring the boy. ”There are a lot of other kids your age to play with as well.”

The man couldn't help but pause. ”Why in the world are you gathering up kids like this? No one else wants 'em but you.” He said.

”Because these children are the future.” The girl replied, and ended the conversation there. But as she was about to turn around and leave with the young boy, she seemed to think of something. ”Hey, what's your name?” She asked, glancing toward the man.

”Me? I'm Andrei,” he answered.

”Andrei? A foreigner? That's Russian, right? Your Chinese is quite good.” The girl said, a mysterious look in her eyes as she gazed at him.

Andrei nodded. ”My mother is half-Chinese, so I've learnt it since I was a child.” He said.

”Hey, if you ever want to, we'll welcome you if you come back. Our H City has better living conditions than B City, anyways,” the girl said, and the man looked at the wall, that he couldn't tell the material of. For some reason, he didn't doubt it.

But he didn't give the girl a definitive answer, and waved goodbye as he left.

”Are you sad that he's leaving?” The girl asked the boy, and he shook no, like all the children before him had.

The girl smiled. ”Then let's go in,” she said, and the two turned to walk through the door as it closed behind them.

The young boy didn't know how long they had been walking through the darkness, with a little small light shining in front of them. The sound of their footsteps echoed around, and when they arrived at the light, everything turned pure white for a moment, before his sight adjusted.

The city practically appeared as if it had never experienced the apocalypse, though it was weirdly extremely empty and because of that, felt quite creepy. He inched a little closer to the girl, his eyes wary as they darted too and fro. Although it looked like there was no one else here but them, he felt like he could sense a large number of gazes on him, making him feel exceedingly uncomfortable.

”Are you worried?” The girl asked, her smile warm and nice. He was suspicious of such a warm and nice smile, but he honestly nodded his head. ”There's not really any need to be. Haha, don't be too suspicious either. We won't do anything weird to you. The reason we're gathering children like this, is because like I said with that man earlier, is that you guys are the future of humanity.”

The girl continued walking, slowing down her pace for the child. ”In the future, you will be the one to lead the humans to greater heights, and usher in a new era of prosperity.” Personally, the girl felt a little like she was some sort of preacher, and was raising up a cult or something. Nah, that was probably over thinking it. After all, everything she said was the truth.

”You've probably been told that you're useless, right? A burden?” The girl suddenly asked, and the boy bristled a little, glaring at her. ”Don't glare at me like that,” she said, laughing. ”I'm just asking you.”

He cautiously nodded. Why was she asking him this?

”I don't think that.” She said, stopping and turning to look seriously at him. ”And we'll prove them all wrong. You, will prove them all wrong.” Her smile then returned, dispelling the serious air as she began walking again.

Before long, they reached a building that looked like a luxurious five star hotel, appearing especially pristine, even in comparison to the other buildings.

”Big Sis, you're back!” A boy said, calling out to the girl from the entrance of the hotel. He couldn't have been much older than the young boy beside the girl, maybe by a couple of years at best. He had eyes that were red like blood, and the young boy couldn't help but think of the vampires in the stories. That's what the boy reminded him of.

”You were waiting here again? How many times have I told you that you need to be focusing on your training?” The girl said with a slight frown, though she ruffled the boy's head affectionately.

”Even if you say that, no one is a match for me anymore. Except maybe that b*stard Ning An, but you know that he'll never spar with me!” The boy complained, his face a weird mixture of being upset at being treated like a child, but also pleased.

”You brat, where did you learn that sort of language!” The girl punched him on the head, and he let out a little yelp of pain - actually, it didn't really hurt, but if he didn't show it did, then the girl would surely get serious and actually start beating him up under the guise of training.

”What, we have another new kid?” The boy said, looking at the child half hidden behind the girl with a dark expression as he grumbled.

”What kid? You're a kid too,” the girl said, smacking him on the head again. ”You better treat him nicely. You're the senior here.”

The girl turned to the young boy behind her. ”This is Qin Shuang. He's been here the longest, so you can ask him about anything you don't know.”

The young boy nodded, though already had it in his mind to avoid the kid. It was obvious that he didn't like him. For any orphan who has survived this long in the apocalypse, they were especially sensitive to the emotions of others.

Although the girl held no animosity toward him that he could tell, which allowed him to trust her at least a little, this boy was clearly displaying his displeasure.

But the girl didn't seem to notice, leaving the younger boy to Qin Shuang. ”Give him a tour of the place and show him his room, 'kay?” She said, as she walked away, Qin Shuang knowing that she was probably going to go find that person. His expression soured. Ever since that person arrived, all she was interested in was helping that man all the time. He was a zombie! What was so great about him? Other than his appearance, which was like that of a male prostitute, Qin Shuang couldn't come up with anything.

Because he couldn't take his anger out on that guy without Yin Mei getting angry, or without him getting his butt handed to him, he could only take his anger out on the new guy. He glared at the kid, turning around in a huff as he walked into the building.

The young boy stood in place, not knowing what to do until Qin Shuang shouted angrily at him, ”what're you waiting for? Get in here already!”

He was startled, but soon quickly walked in, trying to keep up with Qin Shuang, who didn't slow his pace for him.
