Defeat the system! Kiss my little monster!

No one knows why Shen Yisui ran away.

Shen Cheng suffered severe burns, and Shen Yisui wasn't much better off. He was staying in the ward closest to Shen Cheng, and he risked his life to escape from the hospital by climbing out of a window.

Shen Cheng hadn't known the reason before, but now, as he explored the contents of the book, he finally grasped a few clues.

Shen Yisui was harassed by the vice director of the orphanage when he was young, but the book doesn't go into details about what exactly happened between them. However, based on the descriptions on the pages, Shen Cheng could guess the general idea.

That vice-dean is a pedophile.

This alone was enough for Shen Yisui to find a way to escape from the orphanage.

Therefore, he stole Shen Heng's blood.

Only by taking the blood can Shen Yisui take the opportunity to replace Shen Heng and leave this place.

But a fire destroyed all his original plans.

When Shen Yisui's theft of Shen Heng's blood was exposed, the Cheng family decisively abandoned him and took their biological son, Shen Heng, with them.

What should Shen Yisui do next?

Without the Cheng family's help, he also lost his only way out of the orphanage. He would have to return to the orphanage again, face the vice-director once more, and endure all the things he didn't want to face again.

He couldn't just stay in the hospital and wait to die.

So he ran away.

The mess they left behind was all dumped on Shen Cheng's shoulders.

Shen Cheng can no longer remember what "Shen Yisui" looks like. After losing his sight, the world is completely dark, and Shen Cheng can only judge everything around him by sound.

As for where the original "Shen Yisui" escaped to, Shen Cheng had no way of knowing.

"...Really...Are you the only one here, brother?...How are your injuries?"

"I got separated from the army...and was shot in the leg..."

"Brother, come back to the East District with me. There's a special zombie base there... I don't want to leave you here alone. Mom and Dad are dead..."

A broken male voice drifted in from outside the door. Shen Yisui was still sitting on the edge of the bed. Hearing the voice coming from outside, he subconsciously gripped the shoulder strap of his backpack.

He recognized the voice. Although he rarely saw Shen Heng in the East District, he was still familiar with his voice.

How did Shen Heng find this place?

Shen Yisui frowned, stood up, and slowly walked to the wall by the door.

"Don't go over there." Before Shen Yisui could even open the door, he felt a tightness on his thigh.

He lowered his head and heard a weak, almost sobbing voice: "It stinks outside, don't go out."

Shen Yisui: "...What?"

He spoke weakly and unclearly, and when Shen Yi asked him again, he did not answer.

Seeing this, the creature that had been stealing its life floated to Shen Yisui's side at the opportune moment. The orange-yellow light on its body faded away and was replaced by a red warning color.

"It's here! It really came!" The creature, barely darting about, shrank its body and hid in Shen Yisui's shirt pocket, repeatedly urging, "It's all up to you, Shen Yisui! Remember, survival is the only way. Don't expose our secrets!"

"..." Shen Yisui paused for a moment, "If you talk less, no one will notice you."

"Hmph!" The creature, which had been stealing its life, glared at Shen Yisui with annoyance, then turned its body away and stopped talking.

Ruoruo was still clinging to Shen Yisui's leg. For some reason, his face was tightly furrowed, and he bared his teeth towards the door, making a warning sound.

"I'm not going out, and I never intended to go out anyway." Shen Yi casually pressed his hand down on the weak head. "Go to the side."

He weakly tilted his head back and sniffed Shen Yisui's scent. Saliva involuntarily dripped from the corner of his mouth, and after it dripped down, he simply wiped his chin with Shen Yisui's red cotton pants.

"You smell so good," she murmured weakly. "Just like me. Did you steal my Dabao Cream?"

Shen Yisui: "..."

"No." Shen Yisui had barely finished speaking when he felt the biting force on his leg. His eyes narrowed slightly, and he conjured an ice shard in his hand, piercing it into the back of Ruoruo's head.

Ruoruo was just a low-level zombie with weak combat power. Shen Yisui could easily knock him unconscious with a thin ice shard.

Ruoruo immediately leaned back and was about to fall, but Shen Yisui grabbed his collar with one hand and prevented him from falling to the ground.

This little zombie wasn't exactly benevolent either. Low-level zombies are all susceptible to the temptation of food, and Ruoruo was no exception.

Shen Yisui knew what Ruoruo was thinking the moment he opened his mouth.

Unfortunately, his disguise was clumsier and more awkward than Cheng Jingyi's. It seems they'd both need a few beatings before they'd behave themselves if they wanted to take a bite out of Shen Yisui.

Shen Yisui threw Ruoruo to the side of the bed. He had used a lot of force, and the ice shard had pierced the back of her head. Ruoruo would probably be unconscious for more than four or five hours.

Shen Yisui had no interest in whether the little zombie lived or died. He stood behind the wall, silently listening to the sounds outside the door.

"...Why are you still here? Haven't you gone back?"

“Brother, you left in such a hurry that day, and I was worried about you so I didn’t leave. I didn’t expect that after you left, the zombie horde would riot, and I got caught up in it too… I’m still trying to contact the military in the East District.”

“I encountered the military on my way here. They are about three or four kilometers to the southeast. If you go now, you should still be able to run into them.”

"Brother, I hurt my leg... There are zombies outside, I'm too scared to go out. Could you..."

Shen Yisui stood behind the door, silently listening to the conversation between the two people on the other side of the wall, his expression unchanged.

Cheng Jingyi's answer was within his expectations. Although Cheng Jingyi remained silent for a moment, he still promised Shen Heng that he would send him away from the West District and back to the military.

After all, they are brothers.

"Brother, I heard about Shen Yisui. How is he now?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yisui tensed up. He straightened up and secretly pondered his next move.

"died."

It was Cheng Jingyi's voice again.

Shen Yisui's body stiffened slightly upon hearing this, his eyes trembling as if he did not understand the meaning behind Cheng Jingyi's reply.

"...Really? How could this be?"

"Ha... He tried to run away, fell off the cliff, and died. What are you going to do next?"

"I want to recover from my injury first. Brother, could you help me find some medicine?"

"I don't have any medicine here."

Don't refuse us.

A mechanical voice suddenly broke through their conversation. Shen Yisui, who had been standing motionless behind the wall, frowned upon hearing the strange voice.

"...That's true. The environment in the West District is terrible right now, and it's really hard to find wound medicine. It's alright, I can just bandage the wound myself..."

Please like us a little more.

Don't make us sad.

What you're doing will make us very sad.

Shen Yisui frowned deeply, as the mechanical voices outside kept drifting out, silently stimulating his nerves.
