Defeat the system! Kiss my little monster!

[I didn't abandon him! I've given him all my energy...]

Cheng Jingyi was already dead at that time.

The colorful ball spun around him, but it was unable to lift the zombie and drag his body away.

The shattered body of the colorful ball had only been repaired by two-thirds over the past few years. It did not have the absolute strength to save Cheng Jingyi, so it finally made up its mind to give most of its energy to Cheng Jingyi.

It cannot guarantee Cheng Jingyi's survival; it can only provide Cheng Jingyi with this limited amount of energy.

As for what will happen to him in the future... whether he can survive or not depends entirely on himself.

As the colorful ball watched the ever-growing horde of zombies gather on that land, a profound sorrow suddenly burst forth from its body.

It might be a scourge; it won't please anyone anywhere and will only harm them.

The colorful ball erased Cheng Jingyi's memory and quickly flew away from this place.

[I don't want to stay in this world anymore. The people here don't like me... but I don't have enough energy to leave. I have to find another host...]

Shen Yisui: "..."

Even those who were barely surviving were speechless at the actions of the colorful ball. In fact, everything is a cycle; the colorful ball went around in circles and ended up back at the starting point.

"Can't you ask headquarters for help? Call your dad!" The orange light on Gouqiechoingsheng's body flashed. "With you tying people up like this, you do look like a menace."

The colorful ball suddenly burst into sobs.

My main panel is damaged, and the core chip is broken. I can't send out my distress signal at all...

To live a life of ignominy: "..."

[Now Shen Heng wants to unbind himself from me, what should I do? I can't leave and I can't go back, do I have to find another host? I...]

The colorful ball paused mid-sentence, looked at Shen Yisui, and remained silent for a moment.

"I refuse." Shen Yisui said expressionlessly, "You are cowardly and weak, and your character is terrible. Don't touch me."

Color Ball: "..."

With a smack of skepticism, it shrank the cage containing the colorful ball and found another isolated space to throw it inside.

"Don't worry, I've locked it up now. As for what else I haven't explained, you'll have plenty of time to ask it later."

Shen Yisui didn't speak again. He leaned against the wall behind him and silently clenched the blanket in his palm.

All of this sounds absurd and inexplicable. These were all things that had nothing to do with him, yet he was the one who ended up being implicated the most.

If Shen Yisui hadn't drunk the milk that Shen Yisui gave him when he was a child, and if he hadn't rushed into the fire because of it, everything would have been completely different.

Shen Yisui gripped the blankets in his hands even tighter. He lowered his eyes and heard footsteps coming from outside.

"Still not asleep so late?" Shen Yisui felt a warmth in his palm. He turned his head and his nose keenly caught the cold aura emanating from Cheng Jingyi.

Before he was forced to live, he had deliberately created a barrier to isolate Cheng Jingyi; he shouldn't have noticed the commotion inside so quickly.

Shen Yi let Cheng Jingyi hug most of his body and asked, "Why did you come in?"

"It's not comfortable sleeping outside." Cheng Jingyi buried her head in Shen Yisui's neck, her nose lightly brushing against his collarbone. "Are you really going to sleep separately from me?"

Shen Yisui's expression was indifferent, and he only uttered four words: "I am Chaoxiong."

Cheng Jingyi: "..."

"You'll remember this for the rest of your life? You're so petty." Cheng Jingyi ignored the meaning behind Shen Yisui's words. He squeezed onto the bed and, as usual, held onto Shen Yisui's body tightly.

After a moment, Shen Yi also reached out his hand, his long fingers slowly stroking Cheng Jingyi's back inch by inch: "Cheng Jingyi, why didn't you eat me back then?"

Cheng Jingyi froze for a moment before realizing what Shen Yisui meant. He immediately sneered, "You're a pervert. This is the first time I've ever seen someone so eager to be eaten by zombies."

"You can eat me." Shen Yisui seemed completely unconcerned. He leaned against Cheng Jingyi's chest, closed his eyes, and said, "After you die, I will eat you too."

Cheng Jingyi: "..."

"Then you'd better finish it off." Cheng Jingyi pinched Shen Yisui's chin, then rolled over and pressed down on him, saying, "But I don't have such a heavy taste as you, I don't intend to eat you."

Shen Yisui laughed: "Nonsense. When I woke up, you were clearly gnawing on my hand like a chicken claw."

Cheng Jingyi: "..."

"I just put it in, I didn't bite it off," Cheng Jingyi said in the same tone. "At that time, I was just angry and wanted to bite you hard..."

Shen Yisui: "...Are you angry?"

Cheng Jingyi fell silent. He was never used to expressing certain things on his mind, just like Shen Yisui, he was a taciturn person.

Those words were too difficult to say, as if saying them would make them seem like they were at a disadvantage in front of Shen Yisui—even though their contest had long since ended.

"Shen Yisui, do you know what I was thinking back then? My body was full of viruses, with extremely high mutation rates. I wanted to infect you and turn you into a zombie too..."

Cheng Jingyi closed his eyes, kissed Shen Yisui's ear, and slowly furrowed his brows.

Shen Yisui's eyes welled up with tears upon hearing this. He pressed his hand firmly against Cheng Jingyi's back, saying, "You... really..."

He couldn't find the right adjective for a moment.

Cheng Jingyi's erratic state had been going on for a while, but every time she said something, it still shocked and left Shen Yisui speechless.

"How am I doing?"

"You really are..." Shen Yisui pondered for a moment, then laughed, "a pervert."

Cheng Jingyi scoffed lightly: "I'm much better than you. You're the real..."

He paused abruptly as he spoke, something surfacing within his spatial perception, causing him to immediately sit up.

"What's wrong?" Shen Yisui sensed the unusual atmosphere in the air and sat up as well.

“Someone’s coming.” Cheng Jingyi grabbed Shen Yisui’s wrist, his face turning cold and gloomy. “Military. A lot of them.”

The number of light spots on the three-dimensional map he perceived in space increased, accompanied by the sound of certain objects crushing the ground, making Cheng Jingyi's nerves increasingly tense.

Shen Yisui frowned and asked, "Who are they doing this for? Shen Heng?"

"...I don't know, let's go first." Cheng Jingyi stood up, but as soon as his feet touched the ground, he was jolted by the deafening sound of a shell hitting the ground and gripped the railing tightly.

Shen Yi followed behind and supported Cheng Jingyi's body. The air was filled with the smell of some kind of medicine, a toxin specifically developed for zombies.

Shen Yi had worked in a military laboratory before, so he was fairly familiar with these things. He put his arm around Cheng Jingyi and said in a low voice, "They're here to arrest you. Let's just jump off the building and leave."

Cheng Jingyi's muscles spasmed, he clenched his teeth and murmured an "Mmm".
