    Chapter 133: Sigh!

    Gu Tangxi and the others couldn’t hear Xie YunChuan and Luo WuShang’s conversation. They were still staring intently, waiting for an answer. They were wondering if they should really just leave that guy alone. Although he seemed gloomy and gave off a bad vibe, he looked like a fool. Would they really let him go out and freeze to death?

    Xie YunChuan shook his head in their direction, and the three of them immediately turned around and went back to doing their own things. Xie YunChuan had already tacitly agreed, so what were they still fussing about?

    Frankly, they were just curious and wanted some gossip. As for whether Li Shi lived or died after going out, a stranger they hadn’t even exchanged a word with, who cared!

    Gu Tangyue fiddled with the small steamer, which was already emitting a fragrant aroma of rice. After stir-frying a few more dishes, they could have a delicious meal.

    They had been scared all day, especially Gu Tangxi and Xu Yuzhe, who had been beaten half to death and almost couldn’t catch their breath. They needed a good meal to soothe their frightened hearts.

    Putting down her chopsticks, she leaned closer to the fire and whispered, “What do you think they’re talking about? It’s been so long, why haven’t they come over? Can’t the aroma of delicious rice tempt them? They’re just standing there drinking the northwest wind. Don’t they feel cold? It’s like their nerves don’t register hot and cold.”

    Gu Tangxi also crept closer like a thief and muttered, “Who knows? Also, what’s going on with YouYou… has he completely turned into a zombie now? Or is he some kind of powerful, high-level zombie?”

    Gu Tangyue shook her head slightly. “I don’t know, but he can still heal us and suck out poison. If he had completely turned into a zombie, he shouldn’t be able to do these things, right? And he doesn’t attack us.”

    Gu Tangxi frowned, her expression indescribable. “But, don’t you think he’s like a different person? Even if his appearance hasn’t changed much, I find him a little scary now. It’s not because he’s a zombie, it’s just that… you know?”

    Gu Tangxi didn’t know how to explain it, but she just couldn’t be as close to Luo Shuyou as before. Could it really be that her subconscious was afraid of Luo Shuyou because he was a zombie? But they had always known that Luo Shuyou was a special little zombie. They had even seen him when he didn’t have much awareness and liked to bite people at the beginning. Why didn’t they feel anything before? Strange!

    Gu Tangyue nodded vigorously in agreement. “I know! I know! I thought I was the only one who felt that way.”

    Gu Tangyue had thought she was an ungrateful, disgusted, and fearful person for being afraid of Luo Shuyou because he was a zombie. Every time she saw the current Luo Shuyou, she felt a chill in her heart, and she scolded herself for it, how could she be afraid of their cute YouYou baby? Wuwu, but she just felt scared, it was beyond her control.

    Heavens, finally she wasn’t the only one suffering from a guilty conscience.

    ……

    Xu Yuzhe, being a man, felt embarrassed to huddle together and whisper like the two of them, but his ears weren’t idle. He heard every word of their conversation.

    He really wanted to go up and tell them: Don’t feel guilty and conflicted, that person isn’t Luo Shuyou.

    If it was Luo Shuyou, could Xie YunChuan have that cold, hard expression and demeanor when talking to him?

    Even if you don’t have brains, you should have eyes, right? If you have eyes, you should know how to use them. Can’t you see what’s so obvious?

    Xie YunChuan was as cold as he would be to a stranger, how could that be the attitude he had towards his little boyfriend, whom he cherished and spoiled, afraid of him melting in his mouth or breaking in his hands?

    Unfortunately, he really couldn’t bring himself to interrupt their whispering. The two of them were holding hands, huddled closely together, nodding frequently as they spoke, looking like they had found kindred spirits.

    Sigh! Let them continue to feel touched, it’s rare for the two sisters to have a heart-to-heart talk. … It’s just that this heart-to-heart talk gives off the feeling that the two of them are stupid together, no wonder they’re sisters! He should just continue to listen silently and not interfere.

    ……

    The atmosphere of the conversation on Xie YunChuan’s side gradually became serious and cold, but it seemed that only Xie YunChuan was becoming more and more serious. Luo WuShang was still in that indifferent, uncaring, and dismissive state.

    Xie YunChuan gave up trying to persuade this person not to eat human flesh. He couldn’t control Luo WuShang’s thoughts, let alone his actions. Frankly, this was not only Luo Shuyou’s body, but also Luo WuShang’s. Xie YunChuan really didn’t have the right to demand anything from Luo WuShang. Moreover, everything was just his own unproven speculation. He hoped that everything Luo WuShang did wouldn’t affect YouYou.

    Luo WuShang didn’t plan to eat other people at all. Compared to the flesh and blood of others, even ability users, nothing could be as nourishing and delicious as the blood of Xie YunChuan, who possessed three abilities and a Jīngpò- Crystal Soul or Core.

    Why would he give up Xie YunChuan, this high-end food, and instead settle for inferior products?

    He just became a zombie, not an idiot. He didn’t have a problem with his brain. As long as he didn’t kill Xie YunChuan, it would be fine. He could just suck a little blood and then give him some healing energy to accelerate his recovery, right? A win-win situation!

    But Luo WuShang just wouldn’t reveal his true thoughts to Xie YunChuan. He wanted to be aloof and act recklessly. Why should he let Xie YunChuan think that he didn’t eat people because he listened to him? Why would Xie YunChuan think that he could persuade him?

    If he didn’t look down on the flesh and blood of those people, what did their lives and deaths have to do with him?

    Xie YunChuan ended this topic and instead asked, “Why are you fine when you come out, but YouYou is like that?” Xie YunChuan was referring to Luo Shuyou’s impaired intelligence.

    Mentioning Luo Shuyou, Luo WuShang no longer wore a sullen face. His expression became calm with a hint of heaviness. “Because he wants to be human, he’s struggling. As for me, I don’t care whether I’m human or a zombie.”

    “The zombie virus is controlling his limbs, eroding his consciousness, and driving him to kill and eat flesh, while Luo Luo is resisting the bloodthirsty and flesh-eating desires brought about by the virus. The conflict between these two intentions causes damage to his consciousness, and the resulting intellectual impairment is inevitable.”

    Xie YunChuan didn’t understand. “Then what about you? Is your current consciousness controlled by yourself, or by… the zombie virus?”

    Xie YunChuan didn’t understand, but looking at Luo WuShang’s current state, it didn’t seem to make much difference if he completely turned into a zombie. Luo WuShang could still control what he wanted to do, right? He didn’t see him biting people at every turn, did he?

    Luo WuShang’s lips slightly curved imperceptibly, and a strange smile flashed across his face. “Controlled by myself.”

    Xie YunChuan had just breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could catch it, he heard Luo WuShang continue playfully, “Also controlled by… the virus.”
