EOTWR Chapter 6

Chapter 6

Doctor Li also felt a bit reluctant. Among these little zombies, some were his daughter’s classmates, whom he had met before. Neither of them could bring themselves to do it, but the surrounding little zombies continued to gather. Even some of the little zombies upstairs and downstairs heard the commotion and came over.

Ai Wei looked at the increasing number of little zombies and felt his scalp tingling. He pushed away a little zombie that lunged at him, but more little zombies surrounded him.

This can’t go on! Ai Wei hardened his heart, grabbed a little zombie, lifted it up, and threw it out of the balcony.

Soon, a dull thud came from the ground. Ai Wei didn’t dare to look at the ground, pursed his lips tightly, and continued to kill zombies.

His heart was heavy, and he felt a faint nausea, but he forced himself to endure it.

Seeing him do this, Doctor Li finally started to act as well.

These little zombies moved slowly and were light, so the two quickly fought their way through a bloody path to the physics laboratory.

Once inside the physics laboratory, the two closed the door and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

There were originally a few little zombies wandering around in the physics laboratory, but just now they had made such a big commotion outside that the zombies in the laboratory were attracted outside, so now there were no zombies here.

Ai Wei released his mental power and checked the classroom, confirming that there were really no other zombies hiding in the room. Only in the storage cabinet in the corner was there a human-shaped object.

Doctor Li walked to the storage cabinet door and said excitedly, “Li Xiaxia, is that you inside?”

After a while, an excited voice came from inside the cabinet: “Dad, is that you, Dad?”

Hearing this voice, the calmness on Doctor Li’s face immediately disappeared. He excitedly opened the cabinet door and hugged the little girl inside.

“Dad, Dad… I’m so scared…” Li Xiaxia, Doctor Li’s daughter, hugged Doctor Li and cried softly.

“Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, Dad is here to save you, Dad is here to save you…” Doctor Li hugged his daughter tightly, patted her back to comfort her, and his eyes were also a little moist.

“Dad, it’s so dark in the cabinet, and the students outside are so scary…”

“It’s okay, it’s okay, Dad is here…”

Ai Wei watched this touching scene of father and daughter from the side, especially Doctor Li’s excited face, which was completely different from his calm appearance just now, and he couldn’t help but feel moved.

He took out his mobile phone and sent a WeChat message to Han Lu: I have found Doctor Li’s daughter, please come back and pick us up.

After a moment, Han Lu replied: Received.

Ai Wei said to Doctor Li, “Doctor, Han Lu is here to pick us up. Quickly put that stuff on your daughter and prepare to go downstairs.”

Hearing this, Doctor Li put down Li Xiaxia and said, “Li Xiaxia, we’re going home.”

“Okay.” Li Xiaxia nodded, with tears in her eyes.

Doctor Li took off his coat and put it on her head to prevent her from being frightened by the terrifying scene outside. Then, he picked up Li Xiaxia, and the three quickly went downstairs, crossed the campus and the congested streets, and got into Han Lu’s car.

Han Lu immediately drove the car out of the campus and headed towards Doctor Li’s home.

Successfully rescuing his daughter, Doctor Li was very excited. Li Xiaxia was indeed very frightened. At this time, seeing her father, she kept her eyes full of tears, but she never dared to cry out loud. Doctor Li comforted her, and Ai Wei and Han Lu couldn’t help but feel a little sad.

Believing that many of their relatives and friends had become zombies at this time, the two couldn’t help but remain silent.

The group returned to Doctor Li’s apartment, and Doctor Li began to prepare to set Xia Junchi’s bone.

“Move him to the bed in the bedroom.” Doctor Li took out all the lights in the house, placed them around the bed in the bedroom, and prepared the things he needed for the surgery, and said to Ai Wei.

“Okay.” Ai Wei carefully hugged Xia Junchi horizontally and placed him on the bed in the guest bedroom.

Watching Ai Wei easily pick up Xia Junchi, who was more than 1.8 meters tall, Doctor Li suddenly asked, “Is your strength naturally this great?”

Ai Wei vaguely said, “I usually work out.”

In fact, his strength only started to increase more than two hours ago. But he didn’t want to reveal that he had awakened his ability, so he didn’t plan to tell Doctor Li why his strength suddenly increased.

Doctor Li nodded and said to Xia Junchi, “I don’t have any anesthesia here. Bite on this and bear with it.”

Doctor Li handed a roll of towel to Xia Junchi and asked him to bite it in his mouth. He then said to Ai Wei and Han Lu, “You two help me hold down his body. Hold it down hard, and don’t let him move around when I’m setting the bone.”

“Okay, okay.” Seeing this situation, Ai Wei knew that setting the bone would definitely be very painful, and couldn’t help but swallow.

He placed his hand on Xia Junchi’s thigh, his face pale, and said to Xia Junchi, “It will be over soon, don’t be afraid.”

Xia Junchi saw the scalpel in Doctor Li’s hand, and he was indeed a little scared, but seeing Ai Wei so nervous, he suddenly didn’t feel so scared anymore.

He looked like he didn’t care much and said, “It’s okay. If you’re worried, just wait outside. It will be over soon.”

Ai Wei saw his calm appearance, and his tone was as if he was just asking him to wait for him to finish the surgery, just like waiting for him to eat a meal, and he couldn’t help but admire his courage. If it were Ai Wei himself, he felt that he would definitely be scared. Xia Junchi is worthy of being the man he likes, he is just extraordinary! Ai Wei thought.

“I’m not, not nervous. I’ll stay and see if there’s anything I can help with,” Ai Wei said.

Doctor Li interjected, “You have to stay and help hold his leg. However, don’t be too nervous, lest you cause trouble later.”

“Okay, okay, I definitely won’t cause trouble.” Ai Wei took a deep breath, trying to calm his emotions. Regarding Xia Junchi’s leg, he must not mess up at this critical moment.

Doctor Li also said to Ai Wei, “You have to be mentally prepared, the surgery process is relatively bloody. If you can’t guarantee that you can stay calm, it’s best to turn your head away and don’t look.”

“Okay, okay.” Ai Wei took a deep breath and said. Doctor Li put on a mask and started the surgery. His movements were agile and skillful, very proficient, but performing surgery without anesthesia, Xia Junchi was still in so much pain that his face was pale and he was sweating profusely.

Xia Junchi gritted his teeth and endured, his eyes were turning black, but he couldn’t faint because of the pain. Ai Wei looked at him like this, and his eyes couldn’t help but turn red with heartache, wishing he could take the pain for him.

When it was finally over, Xia Junchi’s whole body was soaked in cold sweat, and his eyes had almost lost focus.

After finishing this surgery, Doctor Li’s forehead was also covered with sweat. This was not a complicated surgery, but it was the first time he had performed surgery on a patient without anesthesia, and he also felt a lot of pressure in his heart.

Doctor Li also measured Xia Junchi’s blood pressure, listened to his heartbeat, and checked his pulse. Finally, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, “The surgery was very successful. Don’t get out of bed or move your legs for the next few days. I’ll prescribe some medicine for him. He may have a fever tonight. If he has a fever, come and find me.”

He also said a lot of things to pay attention to and things to avoid after a broken leg. Ai Wei wrote them all down one by one.

Doctor Li had a medical box at home, with some commonly used medicines, so there was no need to go out to find medicine.

Ai Wei poured a cup of hot water, fed Xia Junchi the medicine, wiped his sweat, changed his clean clothes, and went to the kitchen to start making dinner.

Doctor Li’s kitchen was obviously not used often, but the equipment was complete, and there was food stored in the refrigerator. He entered the kitchen, and after a while, he brought out a pot of steaming tomato and egg noodles.

Everyone hadn’t eaten dinner yet, and they were all a little hungry at this time. Seeing this pot of good-looking egg noodles, they all sat at the table and ate.

Ai Wei served a bowl of noodles and brought it to Xia Junchi’s room, saying, “I made egg noodles, eat some first.”

Xia Junchi had just finished the surgery, and his leg was hurting so much that he didn’t have much appetite, and he couldn’t move, so he could only let Ai Wei feed him.

Ai Wei picked up a piece of egg and fed it into his mouth, looking at his pale and weak appearance, his eyes were full of heartache.

Seeing his gentle and distressed appearance, Xia Junchi felt a heat in his heart, as if even the pain had been reduced a little.

He showed a pale and handsome smile and said, “Don’t worry, my leg will get better soon.”

Seeing that he was still comforting himself, Ai Wei couldn’t help but want to cry again.

He “um”med and said, “What do you want to eat? I’ll get it for you tomorrow.”

On the way to rescue Li Xiaxia today, he had already remembered the location of the supermarket along the way. There was a supermarket outside this residential complex. Now that Xia Junchi had suffered so much, he just wanted to make Xia Junchi as comfortable as possible.

Xia Junchi said, “No need, just stay here with me…”

“Okay, I’ll stay with you.” Hearing him say this, Ai Wei thought he was afraid of being lonely, and he couldn’t help but feel pity in his heart.

Before, they had all gone to rescue Li Xiaxia, and Xia Junchi was here alone, presumably feeling lonely.

After all, in this kind of end-of-the-world situation, the feeling it gives people is too heavy and dangerous, and being alone may make you feel very insecure. Also, because Xia Junchi seemed very strong, Ai Wei hadn’t even thought that he would be afraid of being left alone. He couldn’t help but feel a sense of guilt in his heart, and gave Xia Junchi another chopstick of vegetables, saying, “Eat some more.”

Xia Junchi didn’t have much appetite, but he still ate some reluctantly. Ai Wei also fed him half a bowl of water, and after a long time, he fell asleep in the pain.

Ai Wei made a bed on the floor next to his bed and guarded him at night. In the middle of the night, Xia Junchi really developed a fever, but the temperature was not high, and it was still within the normal range after the surgery. Doctor Li gave him a physical cooling.

The next day, the pain in Xia Junchi’s leg was relieved a little, and he was also more energetic.

Ai Wei followed the doctor’s instructions and made Xia Junchi foods that were not stimulating and nutritious.

However, although their food reserves were sufficient, there were not many fresh meat, eggs, and fruits left.

Doctor Li didn’t cook at home often, so there were only a few eggs, some dried noodles, and half a box of pure milk at home. The food that Ai Wei brought back from the supermarket yesterday included rice, flour, packaged meat, canned food, etc. But among those things, only rice and flour were what Xia Junchi could eat now. After the few eggs in Doctor Li’s house were eaten, there was nothing else nutritious for Xia Junchi to eat.

Ai Wei thought about it and felt that the vegetables in the supermarket would wilt in a few days, so if he wanted to get them, he had to do it as soon as possible. So, he decided to go to the supermarket again. This time, he didn’t ask anyone to accompany him, because there was still plenty of food at home, and Doctor Li and Han Lu didn’t lack food right now, so there was no need to risk going to the supermarket. So, while Xia Junchi was sleeping, he asked Doctor Li to take care of Xia Junchi, borrowed a car from Han Lu, and drove to the supermarket himself.

There was a supermarket outside the gate of this residential complex. Ai Wei drove the car to the entrance of the supermarket, went in, picked up a basket of eggs, took out the various meats in the refrigerator, and packed a few bags of fresh vegetables and fruits. The process was not very difficult. The zombies’ movements were stiff and slow, and he also applied something to his body to cover up his body odor, and with the blessing of his ability, he came back with the things without any danger.

He found that as long as he wasn’t surrounded by a large group of zombies, it wouldn’t be very dangerous. So, he simply worked harder and ran to the supermarket a few more times to bring back a few boxes of pure milk and vegetables and fruits. Han Lu looked at the ingredients that were almost piled up in the kitchen and couldn’t help but say, “You’re really good to your boyfriend.”

Hearing her say that Xia Junchi was her boyfriend, Ai Wei couldn’t help but blush, but her heart was sweet. At the same time, she couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Although this era is more tolerant of homosexuality, there are still some people who have prejudices against homosexuality. Han Lu is a relatively supportive partner. In this end-of-the-world situation, it is safer for them to help each other, so he naturally doesn’t want Han Lu to have any prejudices against him.

If Han Lu didn’t like homosexuality, Ai Wei would have to part ways with her.

Fortunately, Han Lu didn’t disappoint him.

“You and Doctor Li can eat the things I brought back. Don’t be polite. Just think of it as my reward for using your car,” Ai Wei said.

Hearing him say this, Han Lu was very happy and thanked Ai Wei repeatedly.

With these ingredients, Xia Junchi’s nutritional problems don’t need to be worried about for the time being.

Ai Wei returned to the room and saw that Xia Junchi was awake, but his face was still very pale.

“What do you want to eat? There are eggs, tomatoes, small vegetables, cabbage, eggplant, and meat in the kitchen. How about a bowl of mushroom and lean meat porridge, with an egg pancake and stir-fried cabbage with vinegar?” Ai Wei asked Xia Junchi.

His parents were already very old when they gave birth to him. A few years ago, the two elders passed away one after another. Before their death, Ai Wei and Ai Yi and his wife served them, so Ai Wei still knows how to serve patients.

Xia Junchi’s legs were still very painful, but he felt very warm in his heart when he was so cared for.

“Okay,” he responded.

Ai Wei suddenly thought of something, and immediately blushed a little, and asked, “Do you…, do you need to go to the toilet?”

Xia Junchi was stunned, looking at Ai Wei’s fair face with a blush, he didn’t know why, but he felt his face was a little hot.

The last time he went to the toilet was yesterday afternoon, and half a day and a night have passed since then, and he really wants to go to the toilet now.

“I’ll go get a water bottle.” Ai Wei didn’t wait for him to answer, so he hurried out and brought back a mineral water bottle.

Looking at Xia Junchi’s leg in a cast, he stammered, “Do, do you need me to help you?…”

As he spoke, he almost bit off his tongue.

God! What is he talking about! Will Xia Junchi think he has ulterior motives?! Will he think he’s a pervert?!! He’s not! He just really wants to help Xia Junchi!

“You, don’t think too much! I, I just think it’s inconvenient for you…” Ai Wei felt that he was just making things worse.

His head was hanging lower and lower, and he didn’t dare to look at Xia Junchi’s face anymore.

Xia Junchi also felt a little embarrassed, and his pale face was flushed.

However, physiological problems still have to be solved. He could only endure the shame and embarrassment and took the bottle from Ai Wei’s hand, saying, “No need, I can do it myself.”

Hearing him say this, Ai Wei couldn’t help but feel a sense of disappointment from the bottom of his heart.

He tidied up his emotions, put the tissues on the table next to Xia Junchi’s hand, and said, “Then I’ll go out first, call me when you’re done.”

After saying that, he didn’t dare to look at Xia Junchi again, so he pretended to be calm and went out.

Xia Junchi could see the disappointment on his face, and his handsome face turned even redder.

He looked at the mineral water bottle in his hand, his face was a little distorted, and after a while, he unscrewed the bottle cap.

When Ai Wei came in again, Xia Junchi had already solved his physiological problems. Ai Wei’s face was red, and he took the bottle out to dispose of it. He didn’t dare to look at Xia Junchi’s face throughout the whole process.

Seeing his shy appearance, Xia Junchi couldn’t help but find it a little funny in addition to being embarrassed. He also felt that he was very innocent and cute.

Xia Junchi had only been in love once, and the object was Ye Cong.

He realized he liked men when he was in the second year of high school. When he first discovered that he was more interested in men, he was very panicked, fearing that others would treat him as a freak after knowing his secret. So, he hid his orientation at that time. Fortunately, high school studies were heavy, and he devoted himself to learning, which saved a lot of trouble in this regard. After being admitted to college, he suddenly had a lot of free time, so he used his free time to contact the homosexual community through the Internet and faced his sexuality squarely.

Many people in college started dating. Seeing people around him dating, he also started to want to find a boyfriend. For this reason, he had also been to gay bars. However, to his disappointment, many people in the gay circle would go to a hotel room after only seeing each other a few times, and even came to gay bars just to hunt for beauty and have sex.

Because of his outstanding appearance, many people chatted with him. But after learning that these people’s purpose was just to sleep with him, he felt a little uninterested.

He couldn’t do that kind of thing with an unfamiliar person in a random hotel.

What he wanted was to find a love, not just to vent his desires. If it was just to vent his desires, he could use his own hand completely, so why bother spending time and energy finding someone?

It has to be said that he was a little lazy when it came to meaningless socializing. With this time, he would rather do things that were meaningful to his career.

Of course, there were also some couples in the gay circle who had very stable relationships and had no problems with cheating or having sex. It’s just that there weren’t many.

He had also met a few people who wanted to find a stable relationship like himself, but after getting along, he would always find that the two sides might not be able to get along. Over time, he simply no longer wasted time and energy on finding a boyfriend, and let fate decide the relationship.

Ye Cong was his first boyfriend. Because he had seen him in a gay bar and learned of his sexuality, he took the initiative to pursue him.

After being single for many years, suddenly a handsome, spoiled, and clingy boy continued to send him WeChat messages, saying “Mwah” every morning and evening, and calling him husband and brother. Slowly, he was moved.

By the time the zombies broke out, the two had been dating for a year. He originally thought that their relationship was very stable, but who knew that when he was crushed by a zombie and broke his leg, Ye Cong not only didn’t help him, but also left him and drove away.

Looking at the direction Ye Cong drove away, he felt a burst of despair in his heart.

On the contrary, Ai Wei, who didn’t have a very close relationship with him, went to help him as soon as he was in danger. Even later, when he saw the zombie group surrounding him, Ai Wei didn’t give up on him and insisted on taking him with him.

Later, Xia Junchi recalled the scene at that time, and felt that if Ye Cong got out of the car to help and pushed the fat zombie with Ai Wei, he could quickly push the zombie away and rescue himself. But from beginning to end, Ye Cong didn’t intend to get out of the car to save him. From beginning to end, Ye Cong was just scolding Ai Wei for being slow in the car.

The lover he originally thought was in love with him left him in the zombie group when he needed him the most. Xia Junchi felt a little resentful towards Ye Cong in addition to being uncomfortable at that time. But he also knew clearly in his heart that no one stipulated that people must risk their lives to save their lover. Ye Cong chose to escape in that situation, which was also human nature.

What’s more, Ye Cong was originally timid. It was really embarrassing to ask him to save himself when the surrounding zombies were all surrounding him.

But knowing it in his heart was one thing, and it was impossible for him to continue to associate with Ye Cong without any grudges.

Later, Ai Wei confessed to him, which was very surprising to him. He didn’t expect that Ai Wei, a colleague who usually had a lukewarm relationship with him, had secretly loved him for a long time.

In the last moment, his heart was still in despair because of Ye Cong’s departure. In the next moment, Ai Wei pulled him out of the abyss.

When Ai Wei looked at him with firm and clear eyes and told him that he would be his man sooner or later, he suddenly felt that this day that Ai Wei said would come true sooner or later.

Thinking of this, Xia Junchi couldn’t help but show a smile, and in this end-of-the-world situation, he actually felt that the future was a little exciting. When Ai Wei brought the prepared food over, he pretended to be nonchalant, as if nothing had happened just now.

But when Xia Junchi’s eyes fell on him, he still couldn’t help but feel his heart beat faster and his cheeks were hot.

Ahhh – why is Xia Junchi looking at me? My face is so hot, isn’t it blushing?!! Damn it! I didn’t take good care of my skin today, will my skin look a little dry now?!

Ai Wei yelled in his heart, but on the surface, he tried to maintain a calm expression. It’s just that his mood was too excited, and the hand holding the bowl was shaking a little.

Xia Junchi just looked in his direction when he saw him coming in. Who knew that in a short while, his fair cheeks turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he was shaking nervously.

Xia Junchi couldn’t help but open his mouth. If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he would have found it hard to believe that someone’s face could turn red so quickly. He suddenly felt very cute.

Xia Junchi felt his face was also getting a little hot. He moved his eyes away seemingly unintentionally and looked at the bowl of food Ai Wei was holding.

Ai Wei saw that he had moved his eyes away and was no longer looking at himself, so he breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn’t help but feel a little lost because Xia Junchi was no longer looking at him.

He secretly glanced at Xia Junchi and saw Xia Junchi’s thick eyebrows were lowered, and a pair of starry eyes were looking at the bowl in his hand. Xia Junchi from this angle was very good-looking. His black, long, and stylish sword eyebrows, well-defined eyes, and high nose bridge all looked very stylish.

His lips were a little pale, looking soft, and the shape was very good-looking, as if they were very good to kiss. When Ai Wei thought of this, his face turned even redder, and he quickly withdrew his gaze, not daring to look any longer.

For a while, the attention of the two was focused on the bowl of food.

“You, you can’t sit up now, let me feed you.” Ai Wei said.

Xia Junchi had just had fracture surgery last night and had to wait a few days before he could move. Now he was lying in bed unable to move, so he could only let Ai Wei feed him.

So, Ai Wei sat on the chair next to Xia Junchi’s bed, picked up the chopsticks, and started to feed Xia Junchi one bite at a time.

It was the first time Xia Junchi had been fed, and he felt a little embarrassed. But this was something that couldn’t be helped, and he could only try to calm down and finish eating quickly.

Suddenly, he heard Ai Wei ask, “How is it? Is it delicious?”

Xia Junchi didn’t pay much attention to the taste of the food at all. His legs were very painful, and he didn’t have much appetite. He was just forcing himself to eat it because his body needed nutrition. Now, hearing Ai Wei ask, he noticed that the taste of the food was not bad. “Delicious,” he said.

Ai Wei immediately showed a smile and said, “Then I’ll make it for you next time. What do you like to eat? There’s pork, chicken, fish, eggplant, cabbage, potatoes, cucumbers, apples, and pears in the kitchen. I can also make white fungus and snow pear soup. Adding some red dates and wolfberries to the white fungus and snow pear soup is very nutritious. I’ll make you a bowl later and let you taste my craftsmanship?”

He had been a foodie since he was a child. Although he had lived alone since his parents passed away, he had never mistreated himself when it came to eating. His house was fully equipped with firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and tea. He had a frying pan, a soup pot, a rice cooker, a soymilk maker, a noodle maker, a microwave oven, and an oven. He usually made all kinds of hard dishes, famous dishes, and snacks for himself. Occasionally, he would eat take-out to change the taste. One of his childhood dreams was to open a restaurant and be a chef himself so that he could eat all kinds of big dishes every day. However, this dream, like many other dreams, was left behind after he grew up.

He had also imagined that when he had a lover, he would share delicious food with his lover every day. He had even imagined Xia Junchi wearing an apron (or even a nude apron) and standing in the kitchen cutting vegetables.

If Xia Junchi knew that he had imagined this, he didn’t know what kind of expression he would show… Xia Junchi didn’t have much appetite, but he agreed because he was so excited to make food for himself.

So an hour later, Ai Wei made a pot of white fungus and snow pear soup, brought a bowl over, and fed it to Xia Junchi.

At noon, he stewed a fish and made two dishes. Because Xia Junchi had to avoid certain foods, he didn’t put any seasonings in the fish and vegetables. But even so, Ai Wei made it very delicious.

Making delicious food for Xia Junchi every day, Ai Wei made all the foods he was good at. Han Lu and Doctor Li and his daughter also ate a lot along with them.

Han Lu and Doctor Li’s cooking skills were so-so, and they could only make a few dishes. Even if Ai Wei put very few seasonings in his food, and the taste was a little bland, they could eat it very happily.
