Because there were not enough beds and there was an extra woman, the team members used wooden boards to build a bed for Su Cancan in the aisle outside the bathroom, plus they added a partition door to give her a separate space for herself.

Kang Ye and Qi Yan were at the front end of the RV, watching the walking corpes outside dragging their incomplete bodies.

The car was very silent. Although they couldn’t make too much noise, it was okay to speak in a low voice… For a while, there was an awkward silence brewing between the two of them due to Kang Ye’s non-talkative character.

In the end, Qi Yan broke the silence.

“What did Kang Ye do before?” Qi Yan asked: “Before the apocalypse broke out, I was a doctor.”

Kang Ye was silent for a long time before he said, “No job.”

“Oh, you look young.” Qi Yan smiled slightly: “Although you’re very tall, you’re taciturn, just like a student who just started university.”

Kang Ye, whose body had changed, hadn’t talked to anyone for a long time. To be honest, he might not remember much about what he did when he was a human being.

He could only nod casually in response and turned his head to look at the situation outside.

Qi Yan also looked outside. Not far away, two zombies were gnawing on an incomplete corpse.

“Actually, I’m very curious about creatures like zombies.” Qi Yan said lightly: “If they have thoughts… they won’t be considered as monsters, right?”

Kang Ye was taken aback by the topic he coldly brought up. He quickly turned his head to look at Qi Yan with a little light flashing in his eyes.

Qi Yan met his gaze and said with a wry smile: “Do you think I’m weird? No, actually, I’m just narrating a fact.”

Kang Ye’s dry lips denied in a slightly hurried tone: “No…”

“Don’t deny it. You must have thought so too, you think I’m weird.” Qi Yan smiled indifferently: “Actually, the captain and the others all think so. They think my idea is simply a fantasy.”

“But if you think about it carefully, it seems to be right. If zombies have thoughts, know good and bad, and retain their original memories… Then they are no different from humans. They just have a different name.”

“It’s just that we don’t know anything now… We are all afraid of being persecuted, so we are always on guard.”

After the words fell, Qi Yan sighed self-deprecatingly and smiled apologetically at Kang Ye.

“Don’t think about it, I’m just talking about it casually.”

After speaking, he leaned his head against the window and stopped looking at Kang Ye.

Tonight, as usual tranquility enveloped this area. Under the cloak of eternal peace, there were the walking corpses drenched in blood all over the world.

People without souls were not blessed by God.

The next day, the sky was slightly spitting white. Xiao Tian and Yang Zhi woke up and came to change shifts with Qi Yan and Kang Ye.

“I don’t need to sleep.” Kang Ye continued to sit in the front seat and refused.

Qi Yan looked at him and smiled warmly before he walked over and grabbed his arm to make him stand up. Then he walked back to the sleeping area.

“Let’s go to bed for a while. I won’t be able to sleep for long either. We’ll just wake up together in a while.”

Kang Ye was now in the physique of a zombie. He didn’t need to sleep, but under Qi Yan’s soft voice, he unconsciously followed Qi Yan’s steps.

Lying on a hard board bed that was not comfortable. There was not much space and the area of the bed was narrower than the bunk bed in the dormitory. Kang Ye felt the residual temperature that had not dissipated on his wrist, it was Qi Yan’s temperature.

Suddenly he remembered that when Su Cancan touched him for the first time, she fussed and screamed, asking why his hands were so cold and whether he was sick. Kang Ye was very nervous. He didn’t know what to say. In the end, he could only run out in the name of finding food.

Turning his head slightly, looking at Qi Yan’s quiet sleeping face, a different kind of emotion rose in Kang Ye’s heart.

This man should also feel the huge difference in body temperature between himself and ordinary people, but he didn’t ask anything.

That kind of warmth, he really wanted to touch it again.

In a daze, Kang Ye fell asleep heavily.

This should be the first time he had slept so well after his body mutated.

Opening his eyes again, Su Cancan’s familiar voice filled his ears, as well as Yang Zhi’s angry reprimand and Qi Yan’s soft comforting voice.

Kang Ye sat up and pulled open the curtain to looked out. He saw Su Cancan holding a puppy and staring at Yang Zhi angrily. Qi Yan frowned at the side, interjecting a few words from time to time.

“It has not mutated, why should we leave it behind? Is puppy not a life?”

Facing Su Cancan’s unreasonableness, Yang Zhi took a few deep breaths and held back from hitting her: “I’ll say it one last time. This dog was eating rotting flesh just now and it may mutate at any time. I won’t leave such a danger in the car!”

“It hasn’t been bitten!” Su Cancan was unreasonable, willfully ignoring the others.

Kang Ye stared at the sorry puppy, his eyes sinking slightly.

The hind legs of the puppy were injured by the zombies, but they were blocked by the relatively long hair.

In about two hours, this dog would become a zombie dog.

Qi Yan sighed. He grabbed Yang Zhi to keep him from getting mad, then turned his head to Su Cancan and said coldly: “Put that dog down, we are leaving. If there’s any more delay, we won’t be able to get out of the city before tonight.”

“No! You cold-blooded people!” Su Cancan’s tears flowed down like a small river bursting from its bank.

Like pear blossoms with raindrops / Originally described the posture of Concubine Yang when she was crying / Later used to describe the beauty of women appearance annoyed Yang Zhi and others. Just as he was about to reach out to grab the puppy, there was a sudden flash in front of him. Kang Ye, who came over for some reason, grabbed the puppy. With Su Cancan’s scream, he threw the gray puppy out of the open car window.

The puppy that was thrown to the ground let out a wail, kicked his legs twice, stood up, and ran away in a hurry.

The car was not high and Kang Ye didn’t swing his arms particularly hard, otherwise would the puppy still be able to run?

Everyone was shocked by his move. Su Cancan was about to get out of the car to chase the puppy. Yang Zhi gave the Xiao Tian a look. Xiao Tian quickly locked the car door and stepped on the gas to drive towards the outside the city.

“You guys are too much!” Su Cancan couldn’t stop crying: “Xiao Kang, why are you like this?!”

Kang Ye looked at her as if he couldn’t bear it, but still said, “That dog was injured by a zombie, so we can’t keep it.”

“Nonsense! It has no wounds at all!” Su Cancan glared at Kang Ye: “And zombies don’t eat small animals!”

Zombies did not eat animals, but the puppy was indeed injured by zombies. Maybe when the puppy was hungry and gnawing on the corpse, he was accidentally injured by a zombie who rushed up from behind and bit the corpse.……

For whatever reason, it was an indisputable fact that the puppy would mutate in two hours.

Kang Ye was silent, not knowing what to say.

Qi Yan suddenly walked over, took Kang Ye’s hand, and walked into the car.

“I have something to ask Kang Ye. If Miss Su is sad, just get out of the car with the puppy.”
