I'm a cannon fodder, but I'm actually a heartthrob

"Mr. Qi, I'm going out for breakfast. Do you want to join me?"

Qi Wuxi was about to agree when the phone rang. He glanced at the name and answered the call impatiently.

Not knowing what the other party said, Qi Wuxi said, "Why are you panicking? It's only the first day."

First day? What first day?

I can't hear what's happening next clearly now.

Two minutes later, Qi Wuxi hung up the phone and said gently, "I won't go. I have something else to do. See you today."

"Okay, goodbye Mr. Qi." Rong Jin found a breakfast shop to eat. This time he specifically observed the conditions of the people around him.

The breakfast shop owner took out the buns with a somewhat stiff movement, and the person who bought the buns took the buns and paid for them with a somewhat stiff movement as well.

The breakfast shop owner said, "3 dollars."

The person who bought the buns took out three dollars from his pocket and put them on the table, and the breakfast shop owner took it.

There seemed to be no problem throughout the process.

This is what happened every time after that.

When it was Rong Jin's turn, the breakfast shop owner looked up, stared at Rong Jin with drooling eyes, and looked at Rong Jin as if he was looking at a delicious little cake.

Rong Jin pinched his palms, barely maintaining his sanity and said, "Four buns and a bowl of eight-treasure porridge."

The boss lowered his head again and asked in a hoarse voice, "Do you want to take it away or eat here?"

The boss spoke in dialect, which Rong Jin could not understand, so he answered randomly: "Please put it in the bag, I want to take it away."

The boss packed the buns and eight-treasure porridge and handed them to Rong Jin.

When Rong Jin took the bag, he accidentally touched the boss's hand and his heart beat faster.

Because the boss's hands are cold...

It's not just cold, it's more like being dead for a long time, without any temperature at all.

After Rong Jin paid the money, he found that the boss was looking at him again, with a straight look in his eyes, as if he wanted to rush up and tear him to pieces immediately.

Rong Jin didn't care about the change the other party gave him, and walked back quickly with the buns.

He figured out what the weird place was.

In addition to warmth, there is also human touch.

In a small town like this, everyone knows each other and will definitely exchange pleasantries. But Rong Jin has been standing here for such a long time, and no one has said a word of greeting. They just coldly asked what they wanted to buy.

The town is always quiet, except for the school.

Rong Jin repeatedly recalled the people he had met since coming to the town, and the more he thought about it, the more disappointed he felt.

Except for a few people talking when we were eating potato noodles at a certain restaurant on the first day I came here, the rest of the time the people I met were basically silent.

No, Rong Jin discovered another detail.

Only when Qi Wuxi is present, everyone is normal.

Rong Jin stopped and changed direction at the fork in the road.

He couldn't go to Qi Wuxi anymore, as he was worried that the other party would notice something unusual. At the critical moment, Rong Jin was not confident in his acting skills at all.

When I walked to the primary school gate, I could hear the sound of reading from inside. Perhaps the only normal people in this town were these primary school students.

Rong Jin was thinking absentmindedly when he suddenly saw Zhang Yuan falling down from the wall.

Soon after, Li Xidi and Li Zhanrui also turned out.

Rong Jin was surprised and asked, "Why did you come out?"

Zhang Yuan held Rong Jin's hand and whispered, "Brother, Qi Wuxi is a monster, don't go find him."

Rong Jin recalled the strange reactions of Zhang Yuan when he met him several times. It was obvious that there was something wrong with Qi Wuxi.

Zhang Yuan was afraid that he would not believe it, so he added: "I saw him controlling very thick vines. It was very scary. He is a monster. Brother, be careful of him!"

Li Xidi said: "I am afraid of him. Since he came to town, grandma is no longer grandma."

Li Zhanrui quickly said: "Yes, my grandfather is no longer a grandfather, he has turned into a monster!"

Grandma is not grandma, grandpa is not grandpa, he is a monster.

These matched the information sent by Su Chao: [A monster appeared in City A.]

So except for the children, all the adults in the town are zombies.

But they didn't harm humans, and these children are still alive and well today. Haven't they completely turned into mad zombies?

What exactly did Qi Wuxi do in the town, and what are the vines?

All kinds of thoughts flooded into Rong Jin's mind, and Rong Jin's head was about to explode.

In an instant, Rong Jin realized another problem. The sound he heard last night was from two young men, but as far as he knew, there were very few young people in Heizhu Town, let alone two boys doing that. Most importantly, the next door to Qi Wuxi's room was a utility room, so how could he hear the movement of another house so clearly...

All the problems point to the fact that there is something wrong with Qi Wuxi and he is very dangerous.

Looking at the three children's clear eyes, Rong Jin said, "Thank you for telling me this. Do you want to leave with me?"

After saying this, Rong Jin felt that he had not thought it through enough. The outside world was so dangerous that even he himself could hardly survive, so how could he take care of three children?

They might not be in danger if they stayed in Heizhu Town, but if they left with him, there would be irrational, man-eating zombies outside.

Zhang Yuan said: "Thank you, brother. I don't want to go out. My grandparents are here and I want to stay with them."

Li Zhanrui and Li Xidi had the same idea as Zhang Yuan.

Rong Jin was a little worried and stood there hesitantly.

Li Xidi saw that Rong Jin was worried about them, so he smiled brightly at Rong Jin and said, "Brother, can you give us another candy?"

"of course can."

There was a small shop nearby. Rong Jin bought all the candies in the box and put them in Li Xidi's arms.

"You three should split up. Xixi, if you get bullied again, just run away, okay? Run faster, don't let them catch up with you."

Zhang Yuan said loudly: "I'm here, brother, don't worry, I won't let them bully Xixi!"

Li Zhanrui said unwillingly: "I, I, I will also protect Xixi and will never let anyone bully Xixi."

"Wow, you guys are awesome, bye."

Rong Jin went to the convenience store to buy a schoolbag, stuffed some food into it, and did not go back to the hotel to pack his luggage. He just took the cash and left.

The bus to Heizhu Town disappeared. Rong Jin waited for a while, but it didn’t come, so he could only walk forward.

He took a screenshot of the map so he could see it even when there was no signal.

After walking for half an hour, Rong Jin was tired and sat on a rock to rest.

Heizhu Town doesn’t seem very big. How come we are still in the town after walking for so long?

Rong Jin took a sip of water and continued walking towards the road ahead.

Twenty minutes later, Rong Jin finally walked out of Heizhu Town, but he walked into the forest, surrounded by trees, and the road ahead was dark and eerie.

Rong Jin looked at the map, gritted his teeth and kept going.

You can’t go back, because if you go back you’ll be in the wolf’s den!

The deep forest seems to have no end.

Rong Jin was walking in a daze and felt that the trees around him looked exactly the same. When he had this feeling for the third time, he simply carved a mark on the tree with a stone.

After walking for ten minutes, Rong Jin stared at the marks on the tree and was sure that he had carved them.

It wasn't an illusion, he was just spinning in circles.

Trapped in a maze?

Rong Jin's eyes were slightly red, he fearfully grasped the corner of his clothes and chose to walk in another direction.

After walking for another fifteen minutes, it was still the exact same environment.
