Zhang Xiao Qiang didnât bother with her anymore. He quietly packed up their bags and got ready to go. Yang Ke Er eventually grew tired of crying and slowly calmed down. Zhang Xiao Qiang didnât know where to go, when he was at home his goal was to escape the city, now that heâs out of the city, heâs lost!
Zhang Xiao Qiang just rode along the road on the bike, with Yang Ke Er behind him.
Along the side of the roads were row after rows of rice paddies, like a chequered clothes scattered along the pond. The coming of springtime meant that branches on the trees were growing anew. There were already swallows flying by the river stream in the distance. The scene ahead was covered in fresh green.
Girls nowadays seem really heartless. Yang Ke Er, who is behind him had already recovered. The issue of her pregnancy tossed aside.
âUncle! The stick you have on you is poking into me!â Yang Ke Er said while pulling at the spear in Zhang Xiao Qiangâs backpack.
Hearing her say something about a stick and poking, he almost drove the front of the bike into a ditch!
âJust endure it!â Zhang Xiao Qiang didnât look back. He just said these 3 words.
âYour stick poking me really, really hurts!â Yang Ke Er was still pulling at the spear.
Zhang Xiao Qiang was riding the bike. His nose was hot. It felt almost like his nose was about to bleed, then he turned his head, willing his thoughts to the morning bath scene, to shake him out of it. Thinking of how featureless she was, it cooled him down like ice water from the winter.
Zhang Xiao Qiang stopped caring about what she said and continued pedalling, but she only became more animated.
âUncle, did you kill all those monsters from yesterday alone? Youâre so strong!â she suddenly thought of.
âUncle, where do you live? What do you do?â The life of a recluse wasnât something particularly exciting so he kept quiet.
âUncle, does carrying the backpack and cycling make you tired? Do you want to take a break? Sitting at the back makes my butt hurt!â Do you not see the zombies by the side of the road? Zhang Xiao Qiang muttered, continuing to ignore her.
âUncle, what does your mum do? My mum works at XX, so its possible that they know each other!â Her mouth was like an unzipped zipper, talking non-stop. Zhang Xiao Qiang felt like there was something next to his ear making a âbuzzingâ sound.
âUncle, what does your dad doâŚâ
HELP!!!
Thinking back to that time when he saw <the>>.</the>
<the>âSheâs just like a fly buzzing⌠buzz⌠buzz⌠all the time, never stopping. I really want strangle her and take out her intestines and wrap her neck with it. Ahh!! Then the whole world would be quiet.â</the>
<the>Zhang Xiao Qiang was suddenly filled with an urge to kick her off the bike, grab her neck and choke her.</the>
<the>âIf you donât want to die then shut up!!â Zhang Xiao Qiang roared.</the>
<the>The noise behind him disappeared. The whole world was quiet, too bad it was only quiet for 2-3 minutes.</the>
<the>âMum!! Dad!! Iâm so scared!! BoooohoooooâŚâ she burst into tears. The zombies in the distance were attracted to them because of her crying.</the>
<the>Zhang Xiao Qiang regretted his decision. He shouldnât have saved her yesterday. Sheâs just a brain dead loli. She is unable to discern the situation. She canât see the zombies by the side of the road, only knowing how to cry.</the>
<the>Zhang Xiao Qiang wanted to leave her alone on the road and leave, but he couldnât get the resolve to do it. He was a recluse, not a murderer.</the>
<the>âHey little sister, donât cry anymore, I was wrong alright? If you keep crying youâll attract the monsters!â Seeing that there was a passenger bus by the side of the road, surrounded by dozens of zombies. Zhang Xiao Qiang didnât want Yang Ke Erâs weeping sounds to attract them.</the>
<the>At least Yang Ke Er wasnât completely dumb. She stopped crying and just sobbed behind him. He rode the bike and rushed past the bus. The zombies were trying to follow him from behind.</the>
<the>âCrunchâ</the>
<the>Zhang Xiao Qiang stopped the bike, putting one foot on the ground. On the right, there was an S zombie rushing towards him from the road ahead. It was blocking the road.</the>
<the>âQuickly escape! The monster is about to catch up!â Yang Ke Er cried out in a hurry. The S zombieâs speed was too fast, if he were to ride past it, it would definitely pull them off the bike.</the>
<the>It appeared too suddenly, so Zhang Xiao Qiang was unprepared. The zombies from behind were getting closer and closer. The back of the bike was also carrying something cumbersome.</the>
<the>âGet off the bikeâ Zhang Xiao Qiang yelled, and he pulled out the hammer and headed towards the S zombie.</the>
<the>There was no movement from behind him.</the>
<the>âThere are monsters!!â Yang Ke Er protested.</the>
<the>Zhang Xiao Qiang didnât bother with her. He got off the bike first. He didnât have time to get out his spear, so he took out his knife.</the>
<the>âCrashâ</the>
<the>The bike crashed into the ground. Zhang Xiao Qiang didnât bother to look back to see if she was dead or alive.</the>
<the>Numerous encounters at fighting zombies have given him the experience to come up with a plan. Although he didnât have his spear in hand, it was only 1 S zombie so Zhang Xiao Qiang didnât feel afraid.</the>
<the>The hammer smashed into its chest. It recoiled and took 2 steps back. Zhang Xiao Qiang rushed towards its side and cut at its neck. At the same time it also felt that Zhang Xiao Qiang was near it, so it swung its arm to grab him.</the>
<the>The knife hit the nails of itâs claws, making an ear piercing metallic sound.</the>
<the>âFUCK, what kind of nails did it grow? Are they like Wolverineâs?â Zhang Xiao Qiang was surprised.</the>
<the>The knife was knocked aside by the claw, and the other claw started to swing towards him. Zhang Xiao Qiang leaned his head back. The claw swung just before his eyes, giving him a mouthful of the corpseâs stench.</the>
<the>Then Zhang Xiao Qiang kicked the zombie in the thigh. It fell back and sat on the floor. While it was struggling to climb back up, Zhang Xiao Qiang ran up behind it, gripped the knife and pointed it downwards.</the>
<the>The blade pierced the zombieâs head till it was stuck. Zhang Xiao Qiang yanked it back up, but it was stuck in its skull, so Zhang Xiao Qiang used the zombieâs shoulder as a footrest to force the knife back out.</the>
<the>Yang Ke Er was letting out a bloodcurdling scream at the side. Listening to it chilled Zhang Xiao Qiang to the bone.</the>
<the>âThat Yang Ke Er must be food to the zombies by now!â Zhang Xiao Qiang exclaimed as he looked towards the bicycle.</the>
<the>âPfffsshhh!â Zhang Xiao Qiang spurted with a smile. That girl ran to the boundary between paddy fields, screaming, running and jumping at the same time. The zombies behind her were pushing and shoving in a row. Every now and then a zombie would trip over into the paddy field. Just like a girl in a game pulling along a train, every time the zombies couldnât keep up and were about to be left behind, she would look back at the zombies bewildered and once she saw a zombie she would scream and continue to lead them around.</the>
<the>âSheâs just too talented! Her running speed was at such a strange place; just enough to not get caught by the zombies and not enough to leave the zombies behind. The entire process flowed smoothly. It was just very amusing to watch.â</the>
<the>If you didnât know she was scared, you would think that she was excited right now.</the>
<the>âQuickly come!!â Zhang Xiao Qiang cried at her. She didnât have any reaction to the outside world, all she did was bow her head and yell and run and jump.</the>
<the>Zhang Xiao Qiang set up the bicycle and rode near her, she was writhing around as he tried to get her, as if she didnât know him. Zhang Xiao Qiang put her on his shoulders and started heading in the other direction. She was deliriously searching around his backpack while on his shoulder.</the>
<the>Zhang Xiao Qiang put her on the frame of the bicycle, and started pedalling ahead.</the>
<the>An acre of paddy field slowly slid away from sight. She also sat in silence. It was getting dark, and the night will come once again.</the>
