Warning: Gore, hard-on and suicidal thoughts…what a combination
With Ling Yu's company, Lu Yun's mood obviously got much better.
Tightening his grip around the woman's exquisite and fragrant body, for the first time in a while, he dreamed of nothing and just like that, they were asleep for the whole night until the early morning light spread warm, light spots through the hollow of the curtains. Stars sprinkled behind their eyelids and the two lying on the bed slowly opened their eyes.
The breeze in the morning had yet to take on the heat of the sun. When it touched his body, he shivered at its coolness. Shivering, Lu Yun slowly sat up. Touching the cold arm of Ling Yu, his brow wrinkled and he pulled the blanket over her to cover her.
There was a knock on the door. Lu Yun picked up his clothes before opening it.
"Young Master Lu, we are leaving at ten o'clock, I'll help pack your things." Wu Ming said while looking into the room. He glimpsed at the raised bed and the long hair of the woman covered by the sheets and was stunned.
"Alright, come in." Lu Yun moved to the side and let Wu Ming enter the door before casting his eyes on Ling Yu as he asked. "Ling Yu wants to go with us, can she? Wu Ming?"
Wu Ming was in trouble. He imagined He Jin's reaction and felt it would not be possible, but he also didn't promise anything and honestly replied, "We should first pack your things. Wait until breakfast to ask Brother He."
With the mention of He Jin's name, Lu Yun's expression became a bit unnatural, but he nodded silently before sitting on the bed and watching Wu Ming pack up his things for him. Even though during the apocalypse, Wu Ming knew that Lu family might have fallen apart, he couldn't change his young master whom he had raised for more than ten years.
Wu Ming was hard at work, tidying up the other's things and then neatly placing them in the travel bag by the bed.
After double-checking the content of the bag, Wu Ming zipped up the bag and looked up at Lu Yun. He was going to ask him to go eat breakfast, but suddenly, his expression changed. He yelled 'be careful' while pulling Lu Yun in front of him.
Lu Yun, who was sitting on the bed, was suddenly pulled by Wu Ming. After taking two steps, he fell on the floor and looked behind only to be stunned.
He had just seen Ling Yu last night and she'd been well. But right now, her face was white and she opened her mouth, revealing rows of sharp teeth that rushed towards the two. The room they used in the soldiers' dormitory was small. There was not much room left to move around after the furniture were in place. Wu Ming was behind him and protected Lu Yun as they avoided the oncoming attack.
Wu Ming’s eyes quickly caught sight of the two claws of Ling Yu as he reeled away from the stench of Ling Yu's mouth. He cried out to Lu Yun who was scared, "Young Master Lu, I have a knife at my waist. Take it out and kill her!"
After a few screams and an attempted attack, seeing that Wu Ming couldn't support him anymore, Lu Yun finally snapped out of it and took out the knife from Wu Ming's waist and aimed at Ling Yu's head.
The sharp blade shone with a cold light as it slammed into Ling Yu's head with a 'puchi' sound causing a painful scream to come out of her. Wu Ming's strength left him causing him to stop struggling, his tight expression finally loosening.
When Lu Yun saw this, he quickly pulled out the knife out from the woman's skull. Thick black blood dripped down the knife edge and splashed onto his arm. His mind was blank and he couldn't think of anything. He only held the knife and mechanically stabbed at Ling Yu's head. [1]
After stabbing seven or eight times, the head of Ling Yu was completely smashed into pieces and the knife fell into the side of the bed, making a muffled sound. A pair of black holes where the eyes of the corpse used to be were aligned with Lu Yun's eyes.
Killing already rotten zombies and killing zombies of people who were close to you, the feeling was completely different and, after a night holding the other person and sleeping with them throughout the whole night, the stimulus was much fiercer. Lu Yun stared at the murky black eye sockets of Ling Yu and the expression of his face gradually changed from numbness to panic until he finally lost his mind. He couldn't believe the woman who gave him warm comfort just the night before had turned into a zombie today.
"Aaaah!" Lu Yun’s repressed cries flowed out of his throat as tears surged out of his eyes. The arrogance in his heart was replaced with his inner despair and panic. In this moment, he really realized the cruel reality of the apocalypse. It was a dark abyss where people died everyday, where tomorrow isn't guaranteed, and where life seemed hopeless. Human beings could only look up and try their best to struggle from the bottom, nothing else.
"Young Master Lu, don't touch your face with your bloody hand. Ling Yu was probably infected because of the mutated bat's attack." Wu Ming slapped away Lu Yun's hand covered in black blood as he cautioned. He had calculated the time and inferred the root cause of Ling Yu's infection.
Lu Yun's hand that wanted to rub his face, froze, and his expression collapsed even further.
"What's going on here?" He Jin pushed open the door and saw the two men on the ground with Ling Yu's dead body, their expressions tight.
Wu Ming got up and quickly told him the situation.
He Jin's face darkened. He grabbed Lu Yun and pulled him into the bathroom. He proceeded to pick up the shower head, turned on the cold water switch, and sprayed it over Lu Yun's face.
Lu Yun snapped out of his daze and tried to get out of the way. He Jin took his clothes off and washed away the black blood on his arm. He said, "Where do you want to go and hide? You didn't want to worry about it when you brought her with you. If you don't have the ability, don't take responsibility. The consequences of your actions are not something you can handle! Lu Yun, it's already the apocalypse and you're no longer the originally carefree young master of the Lu family anymore. If you stay like this, sooner or later you will get yourself killed and also drag the people around with you!"
Hearing those words from He Jin, combined with Gong Xiangyi's prophecy, Lu Yun's face gradually distorted and his turbid eyes revealed a look filled with pain. If it wasn't for Wu Ming, he would have already entered the ground.
Outside the bathroom, Ling Yin's voice suddenly rang out as she screamed at the sight of her sister. She was accompanied by Wu Ming who was offering her whispered words of comfort. After a while, they heard the sound of the base personnel rushing in with a few soldiers.
He Jin quickly cleaned Lu Yun then gave him clothes before he went to deal with the soldiers' inquiries.
"Brother He, what happened?" Gong Lixin asked from where he stood at the doorway with a well-packaged gift box in his hand.
"Young Master Gong." The base personnel met him and immediately greeted him and briefed him about the event. Then he respectfully said, "Now we have to check all of them. If they have any wounds, they may have to be isolated for 24 hours before leaving."
Gong Lixin nodded, looking and staring at the worried woman.
"Alright, where can we get checked?" He Jin saw Gong Lixin and his lips slightly curved up as his expression softened before looking to and asking the base staff, his face reverting to its expressionless state.
"The lady went to the room next door so we will check you here. Young Master Gong, if we find anything wrong with the inspection, we must take corresponding measures. Please forgive me when that time arrives. This is the rule of our base and is a necessary procedure to keep everyone safe." Seeing the close relationship between He Jin and Gong Lixin, the staff explained with respect.
"Okay. Go get checked then." Gong Lixin nodded. While holding the gift box, he walked up to He Jin and went up on his toes, patting his broad shoulders in comfort.
He Jin looked at the worried young boy and his cold lips couldn't help but rise. He didn't delay and simply took off all of his clothes, revealing perfect muscles and an inverted triangle shape.
When Wu Ming saw this, he slowly took off his clothes and allowed the same military doctor to check. Lu Yun, who's soul had still not returned, was taken by two soldiers and they took off his wet shirt and underwear.
Gong Lixin stepped beside He Jin and helped the military doctor check him for injuries. Gong Lixin's fingers slid over He Jin's old scars from time to time, his eyes full of distress.
Under the temptation of the child's inadvertent movement, He Jin felt hot and his manhood hardened at a speed visible to the naked eye. It was thick and straight and went straight up to his lower abdomen and almost reached his navel.
Everyone in the room, except Lu Yun who lost his soul, looked at him and their eyes were full of amazement. Even the well-informed doctors couldn't help but stop their check and feel inferior.
He Jin looked dumbfounded at Gong Lixin's normal expression before he turned back to the military doctor. He wasn't embarrassed as he opened, "Haven't you ever seen a man's erection before? If the inspection is over, we'll leave. We are still in a hurry."
He was still acting natural. There was a calm and domineering tone in his manners and the military doctor immediately resumed his normal state. In compliance to the other's words, the speed of the examination was accelerated, but the doctor didn't dare touch the other's strong body too much, as if he was afraid of pushing him over the edge.
"All cleared." After carefully looking at the bodies of the three people, no injuries were found. The military doctor nodded to the person in charge.
"How did he get wet?" The person in charge pointed to Lu Yun and asked with a suspicious expression.
"His arm was full of zombie blood so I washed him. You can be rest assured. We will be leaving the base at ten o'clock so you won't have any problem. We will be responsible for it." He Jin said, looking the other straight in the eye without any sign of backing down.
The person in charge blinked. Standing by that man and showing him care was Gong Lixin, so after hesitating for a few seconds, he nodded his head and agreed to leave with the soldiers and military doctors.
He Jin picked up his clothes and put them back on. The area below his lower abdomen was still swollen and the deep desire hidden in his eyes slipped through to the front. He had been specially trained and was a person with a lot of self-control. Even if he used drugs, it couldn't influence him. It was the first time such strong desire overtook him and it was a fierce one at that. The evil fire in his body was full of sinister intentions and it kept burning his tightened nerves.
"Lixin, I still have something to pack, so I'll go back to my room. You stay and look after Lu Yun. He's a little emotional right now." He Jin tried to calm himself and, with rigid movement, touched Gong Lixin's head.
"Hn, you go, I will take care of him." Gong Lixin nodded and handed the gift box to him. "This is a parting gift for Big Brother He. Big Brother should open it when Big Brother He is on the plane, and don't show it to others so easily. Yes, this is a secret between us two."
"Alright, I'll remember." He Jin took the gift and felt the intimacy in the child's words. He touched the child's warm fingertips and the evil fire in his body surged up again.
He controlled himself and didn't dare look at the child's eyes before he pulled Wu Ming and hurried away.
When the two went away, Gong Lixin patted the foot of the bed and looked at Lu Yun, who was still naked, and asked strangely, "Why aren't you wearing clothes?"
Lu Yun looked stunned and looked at him without an ounce of focus. He bent his knees and buried his face within them as tears came out again.
"My father is dead. This time, when I go back, I will also die. Even Brother Wu and Brother He will be killed because of me! Instead of letting everyone follow after me, I should just kill myself." After sobbing for a long time, Lu Yun looked through his blurry and sad eyes and looked straight at Gong Lixin.
His eyes were extremely bleak, as if it had been covered with a layer of gray fog, and all traces of his previous arrogance had disappeared. Seeing that there was no sign of those bright eyes, Gong Lixin's brow wrinkled. Those kinds of eyes were too familiar to him. In the Underground Palace, there were many people who couldn't stand Xiao Lin's endless torture year after year and chose to self-destruct. Their eyes were the exact same as Lu Yun's right now. This desperate look belonged to those who had given up.
Gong Lixin tightened his lips and faced Lu Yun. He felt very uncomfortable.
Lu Yun didn't notice the other's emotions as he spoke to him again. "Young Master Gong, do you have a gun? Let me use it."
