TSIAGBICATMWI Chapter 66

Chapter 66: Trying to Steal a Chicken Only to Lose the Rice

Lin Yi endured the discomfort and fear, driving the car back to the base as fast as he could. He got out of the car without looking back. Zhang Xiong was still undergoing examination to check for any wounds or teeth marks all over his body.

Because Lin Yi was an ability user, people at the base assumed that ability users couldn’t be infected. So, they never checked ability users, and wouldn’t stop them even if they saw obvious wounds.

Lin Yi panted heavily as he hurried towards his residence. Whether it was because he was angered by that idiot Zhang Xiong or what, he felt a fire rising in his heart, and his whole body started to feel hot. His previously stiff arm seemed to soften as if warmed, and regained its flexibility.

He returned to his room and locked himself in the bedroom. With trembling hands, he gently peeled off the clothes that were soaked in dirty blood and stuck to the wound, revealing the place where he had been bitten by the zombie. It was no longer bleeding, but the wound was becoming even darker, turning purplish-black. The shadow was even spreading to the surrounding skin.

Lin Yi remembered Xu Yuzhe’s repeated reminders, ‘If you feel any discomfort, go find Dr. Cheng.’ He finally understood what he meant now.

So it turned out that ability users were not completely immune to the zombie virus. He had been deeply bitten by the zombie, hanging on his shoulder for a long time. Too much toxin had seeped into his body. All the discomfort he was feeling now was probably caused by the virus.

Would he turn into a zombie? It shouldn’t be, right? It wasn’t like he hadn’t been injured by zombies before, and each time he felt nothing. This time, he was just bitten a little deeper, and hung on for a little longer.

He didn’t feel anything else besides being a little hot right now. The heat was probably caused by his body’s functions eliminating the virus. It would be fine in a few days when the toxins were cleared.

He was an ability user, he wouldn’t get infected and turn into a zombie.

Lin Yi kept giving himself psychological reassurance, constantly convincing himself that he would be fine. He subconsciously ignored Xu Yuzhe’s words about going to Dr. Cheng if anything felt wrong.

In the two days he had been at the base, he had heard some rumors about Dr. Cheng. He didn’t want to become a research sample for his experiments.

Hiding in the room, curled up in the corner, Lin Yan was startled by the sudden sound of the door opening. The outside door opened and closed, and then he heard the click of the lock from the bedroom next door.

He guessed that Lin Yi had returned, but Lin Yan, who was as timid as a frightened bird at this moment, didn’t dare to go out to check.

Before yesterday, he had never known that human nature could be so dirty.

Not long after Lin Yi left, he was too hungry. A few mouthfuls of thin porridge weren’t enough to satisfy him at all.

Lin Yi didn’t know when he would be back. That morning, Lin Yi had indicated that he wanted him to go with him, but he had refused.

At that time, he was very self-confident and naive. He was confident that with his talent, looks, and intelligence, he wouldn’t have a hard time at the base.

Having a relatively safe haven, he wasn’t willing to go out and face those disgusting and terrifying zombies. He would let Lin Yi go himself.

If he was lucky enough to come back alive, with his foolish nature, wouldn’t he just act pitiful, pretend to be weak, and if necessary, bring up his dead mother? Lin Yi wouldn’t ignore him.

In the afternoon, he just wanted to use his looks to gain some sympathy and affection in exchange for some food, just like he had done before.

He knew that many men liked his type. He thought he could find a simple fool to deceive, at most holding hands and being taken advantage of, or reluctantly kissing him a few times while enduring the disgust.

To avoid going hungry, he was willing to endure these humiliations.

But he completely forgot the saying that you can’t judge a book by its cover, and he also forgot that in the apocalypse, there was no shortage of base people like him who would willingly offer themselves for a bite to eat.

Whether it was because the apocalypse was full of scum, or he was just so unlucky, the first ‘fat sheep’ he targeted was not human.

He went up to that person, crying and selling his misery, while showing off his looks and weakness, and subtly indicating that he could be with him as long as he could feed him.

Jiang Long watched with interest this person who wanted to be a whore while also wanting to uphold chastity. At first, he thought he simply wanted to exchange his body for a meal.

There was no shortage of such people in the apocalypse, and he had a good appearance, the kind he liked. Seeing that his clothes were neat and his complexion was still okay, it seemed that he hadn’t suffered much in the apocalypse.

He originally planned to complete this transaction with him properly, but after talking for a while, he felt that something was wrong.

Damn it, he was playing a game of pure love with him!

He laughed. So he wanted to freeload without giving any meat? According to what he said, it wasn’t just for one or two meals, he wanted him to be his long-term meal ticket!

Dating, such a pure and beautiful word, how laughable. Unfortunately, this was the apocalypse. Was he treating him like a monkey? He should take a piss and look at himself, see if he was worthy.

If he didn’t accept a toast, he would be forced to drink a forfeit. Then he couldn’t blame him for calling his brothers to enjoy this snack that hadzhǔ dòng sòng shàng mén – actively delivered itself to the door.

Actually, he was a very principled person, but some people always treated him like an idiot. Did he look that easy to deceive? This disgusting dog looked down on people.

Lin Yan tried to steal a chicken only to lose the rice. Because he couldn’t see the situation and resisted fiercely, he was severely punished. In the end, he was thrown in an uninhabited alley like a broken rag after being used by those people.

When he woke up, it was completely dark. The narrow, dark alley was like a bottomless abyss, reflecting not a sliver of light, only a sense of silence and gloom.

Lin Yan wrapped the torn clothes tightly around himself, trembling, and slowly pushed himself up. He slowly moved to the wall, leaning against it, taking one step at a time back.

The journey that took ten minutes when he came felt like it took a lifetime when he went back. He moved with a wooden face, oblivious to the pain, leaving a bloody footprint with each step.

Occasionally, one or two passersby saw him in this state and weren’t surprised at all. They glanced at him and hurried away. They had seen many such people in the apocalypse.

It was not easy to survive. Now, most ordinary people didn’t have any prejudice about this. They didn’t have the means. They were barely surviving. If someone was willing to give them a bite to eat, they would be more than happy.

They were wrong. Lin Yan was one of the rare people who had been tortured so badly but hadn’t even had a sip of soup.

In a flash, it was midnight. Lin Yan resisted going out, but he felt that if he didn’t go out again, he would die. He was too hungry.

He numbly stared at the dark ceiling for a long time, as if he had made up his mind. He climbed up and fumbled for the flashlight, then headed to the bathroom. It was better to live poorly than to die. Who cared about such things in the apocalypse?

He would live well until he had the ability to kill Jiang Long and those people one day.

Arriving in front of Lin Yi’s door, he didn’t care if it was midnight or not. He banged loudly on Lin Yi’s door. He knew that he had gone out tonight. He must have food in his hands now.

“Lin Yi, open the door!”

The continuous knocking had the air that if Lin Yi didn’t open the door, he would keep knocking. Lin Yi got up irritably, put on a piece of clothing to cover the wound, and went to open the door.

He roared rudely: “What the hell, are you trying to die, or you are tired of living?” He was increasingly unable to control his violent temper.
