I am in the last days, I can connect to reality

Chapter 171 Sitting in Each Other's Arms

Soon, Qin Zhong found the bathroom door, pulled Chi Xinru in, and then slowly closed the door. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief. Chi Xinru's limbs were already weak, and her forehead and heart were covered with cold sweat.

Qin Zhong and Chi Xinru leaned against the cold wall and slowly sat down, fearing that they would knock something over and make a noise, which would alarm the mutated Sun Jiayi.

You know, the door of this bathroom is just a piece of frosted glass, which can't block the mutated Sun Jiayi at all.

After a while, Chi Xinru leaned over to Qin Zhong, put her mouth close to him, and said in a low voice, "Brother Qin, Sun Jiayi... is there really no hope?"

Qin Zhong sighed inwardly, leaned over to her ear, and whispered, "You saw it just now. Although I integrated the crystal core into his body, it's too late... He is no longer human, but..."

Qin Zhong couldn't bear to say those two words, so he stopped here, while Chi Xinru's voice trembled slightly as she said those two words - zombie!

After Chi Xinru said these two words, she covered her face with her hands and her shoulders began to shake constantly. Qin Zhong knew that she was crying, but he didn't know whether she was crying for her own fate or for Sun Jiayi's corpse transformation.

Qin Zhong put his arm around Chi Xinru's shoulders, holding her in his arms. He lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "Although it sounds a bit ridiculous, it's not just this cruise ship that's like this now. The whole world is like this. Although I don't know how important Sun Jiayi is to you, as long as you're alive, you have to look forward..."

Qin Zhong's words of persuasion seemed to ease Chi Xinru's mood a little. She raised her head and looked at Qin Zhong, her eyes were red and there were traces of tears on her fair cheeks.

Qin Zhong reached out and wiped the tears from her face. He said insincerely, "When we return to land, maybe... we can find a piece of Eden that belongs to mankind. Then, we won't have to face these monsters anymore!"

Chi Xinru didn't say much about Qin Zhong's comfort, but just nodded silently. Thinking about her experiences these days, she sighed for a while and said, "This all seems like a dream. It's hard to believe that it's real. There are really zombies in the world."

Qin Zhongzhong nodded and said, "On July 4th, after I saw those people transform into zombies, I also had this doubt, but the fact is this, there is nothing we can do!"

Chi Xinru hugged her folded legs with her hands, her chin resting on her knees. She seemed to be talking to Qin Zhong, but also seemed to be talking to herself: "The other day, when I was in the performance hall, I saw several people transformed into corpses. Their eyes were cloudy, as if covered by a layer of translucent flesh. It was like... like people who had been dead for several days."

After a pause, Chi Xinru continued, "At that time, I was terrified. Seeing these people rushing towards me, I hid under the table in fear. I saw with my own eyes three men biting a woman to death. Those three men had completely lost their humanity. Like hungry wolves, they opened their mouths wide, their teeth gleaming, and tore the woman to pieces right in front of me!"

Qin Zhong had heard Sun Jiayi describe what happened that day before, but this time, he heard it again from Chi Xinru's perspective. He nodded silently and said, "Actually, I think they died after the virus rushed into their brains! At that time, they were no longer human, but monsters!"

When mentioning these zombies, Qin Zhong unconsciously replaced "them" with "them" in his mind.

Chi Xinru nodded, confirming Qin Zhong's statement: "Yes, they are dead! What remains are just some empty shells that can move!"

……

After that, neither of them spoke, and the space fell into silence for a while. Qin Zhong also took the opportunity to close his eyes slightly, leaning his back against the cold wall, trying to recover his strength as soon as possible.

After a long silence, Qin Zhong felt a soft, cold little hand touching his hand. Qin Zhong turned around and held Chi Xinru's little hand in his own.

As if she could feel the warmth of Qin Zhong's palm, Chi Xinru slowly leaned over, resting her head on Qin Zhong's shoulder, and asked softly, "Brother Qin, what should we do next?"

Qin Zhong comforted her, "Don't worry, just stay quietly in the bathroom first. I have food and drinks here. Once I recover, I can rush out without any problem!"

Chi Xinru hesitated and whispered, "Brother Qin, I know you are alive now, you must be very powerful. Can you...can you not kill Sun Jiayi?"

After hearing her request, Qin Zhong sighed in his heart, Sun Jiayi, Sun Jiayi, even if you die, there is still such a beautiful girl thinking about you, you can be said to have died a worthy death!

Qin nodded and said, "I'll do my best! But if it's a matter of life and death... don't blame me!"

The cruise ship was still drifting, but because of its large size, it remained very stable even in strong winds and waves, and you couldn't even feel it was sailing.

Qin Zhong and Chi Xinru sat hugging each other in the silent space. Soon, Chi Xinru fell asleep in Qin Zhong's arms, and Qin Zhong also closed his eyes to rest. The world was quiet.

The sun finally broke, and a layer of grayish white appeared on the frosted glass of the bathroom. Qin Zhong gently patted Chi Xinru's shoulder. She opened her hazy eyes. Qin Zhong stood up, stretched his legs, and said softly, "Get ready to leave."

Chi Xinru was slightly stunned: "Didn't you say to stay here for a while?"

Qin Zhong shook his head. "I've recovered a lot overnight. As long as we don't run into a large group of zombies, it won't be a big problem. Although this place is temporarily safe, we should leave as soon as possible. If we do encounter some powerful zombies, we'll just have to wait for death."

Chi Xinru hesitated and asked, "Then where are we going?"

Qin Zhong thought for a moment and said, "There should be a restaurant nearby. Let's go check it out first. After we're full, we'll go to the cockpit and figure out where we are. Then we'll find a lifeboat and I'll take you to the Magic City."

Chi Xinru tilted her head and thought for a moment: "Well, I remember there is a restaurant on this deck. I ate there twice. Although the food is not as exquisite as the restaurant on the upper deck, it is very appetizing."

After she finished speaking, a look of fear appeared on her face again: "But... I'm so scared to go out and face those zombies!"

Qin Zhong patted her shoulder and said, "At the beginning, I was also afraid, but fear can't solve the problem. In order to survive, we must be brave!"

Chi Xinru nodded, a look of determination on her face: "I will definitely work hard to become strong..." At this point, she looked at Qin Zhong again: "You...you won't abandon me, right?"

Qin Zhong slowly shook his head and said in a low, firm voice, "Don't worry, I definitely won't!"

As he spoke, Qin Zhong slowly opened the glass door of the bathroom a crack. Through the gap, he saw Sun Jiayi standing with her back to him, slightly tilting her head, staring at the round porthole motionlessly.
