Living Dead's

Chapter 19 - That's You?!

In Shen Yuan's embrace, Feifei began to observe where they were. But it was too dark, there was only a small flashlight for lighting, even he could only see within a one meter area, after which it was pitch black.

Amidst the dimness, Feifei tried to recall the last incident before he was unconscious. Slowly pieces of memory started popping up in his brain. He met a little girl zombie, then he got bitten!

Bitten!

He's gonna be a zombie!

Feifei immediately tried to push his father away. But since he had no strength, his thrust did not cause any consequences.

"Flamei? What was? Do you feel pain somewhere?"

Shen Yuan asked puzzledly after seeing Feifei begin to thrash. He began to look closely at Feifei's body, perhaps if there were any injuries that were missed. But other than bite marks, there was nothing else.

Feifei spoke in a hoarse voice, "Dad, I was bitten. I'm gonna be a zombie. Dad, I have to go. I don't want to hurt Dad..."

As he spoke his tears began to flow. Shen Yuan who saw him could only feel pain and helplessness. Her daughter is so kind, she wishes her daughter could be a little more selfish. It didn't matter to him if he had to die accompanying his daughter.

Shen Yuan tried to wipe away Feifei's tears using her thumb.

"No, hon. You're not going to be a zombie. You won't." Shen Yuan frantically began to calm him down. "Look, it's been over ten hours since you were bitten. But you're still fine, you didn't turn into a zombie. I didn't lie to you."

Feifei thought about what his father said. He began to carefully look at both of his hands, although in a dimness but he could clearly see that his hands were still normal, not turning into a blackish purple. After that he checked the bite wound that was on his calf, the wound was already dry! How could this happen!

Feifei started crying loudly, he felt relieved! He did not turn into a zombie, he could still see his father.

Shen Yuan gently hugged and patted his back. Until Feifei finally stopped crying from choking on his own cries and coughed violently.

Shen Yuan started to look for mineral water, yet there was someone, whom he had already forgotten about, giving him a bottle of mineral water.

At some point, Xi Zihe had already taken off his military jacket, and used it as a seat. Lazily propping up his chin with his palm, seeing the heartwarming scene that could make television drama-mad mothers cry, and finishing off a box of tissues.

After a long time being a spectator, finally arrived his part to contribute.

Shen Yuan gave a few sips of water to his daughter. After that he reluctantly introduced Xi Zihe.

"This is Xi Zihe's uncle, he's the one who brought us to this place."

Politely Feifei greeted him, "Hello, Uncle Zihe."

Feifei's throat was uncomfortable from not drinking for several hours, and immediately cried loudly after the kiss. So he could only let out a hoarse and broken voice.

Xi Zihe slowly rubbed Feifei's head, "It's good that you're conscious. Just so you know, your father was worried about you."

After the little girl woke up, Xi Zihe realized that the girl's eyes were very different from her father's. Shen Yuan has deep black eyes that are sharp like a phoenix while her daughter has light brown peach eyes. Maybe her eyes are the only thing that looks like her mother.

Gently Xi Zihe asked, "Are you hungry? Uncle Zihe will bring you some food."

Xi Zihe looked at those large eyes flashing innocently towards him. It was so cute like the eyes of a rabbit asking for food. Xi Zihe quickly stood up, wanting to get something for the little rabbit to eat.

Xi Zihe walked out the door quickly and returned carrying food quickly as well. He brought milk bread and a few packs of fruit jelly.

Shen Yuan just watched as she was busy going in and out to get something for her daughter. In addition to food, Xi Zihe also brought an extra blanket.

Currently Feifei had already recovered quite a bit of his energy. He sincerely thanked Xi Zihe.

"Thank you, Uncle Zihe."

"It's not necessary, it's the army's job to take care of civilians."

The sound of the door being knocked twice. Xi Zihe opened a slight gap in the door, revealing Yao Yue standing outside. He said slowly, "We should plan a safe path for tomorrow, Captain. The helicopter won't be able to land on the roof of this shopping mall..."

Xi Zihe gestured to cut off his conversation.

"Begging Lu Lin to stand guard in front of this door. Don't let those who make a fuss come to this area."

Xi Zihe closed the door gently. Shen Yuan was still listening until their voices slowly disappeared.

***

The next morning the medics were astonished by the measurement on the thermometer, 37.2°C.

Xi Zihe gave a polite nod, yet inwardly scorned.

See it? Captain Xi's intuition is never wrong, fool.

Under Shen Yuan's victorious expression, the medic left in annoyance and fury. They saw clearly that the girl had a bite scar, but she did not mutate. What the hell is going on? How come?

Xi Zihe kicked the tip of Shen Yuan's shoe, hinting to follow him. He intended to introduce Feifei to his squad members.

There were only four of them, including him. The other members were on patrol cleaning up the zombies in the surrounding area.

"Include that one Yao Yue." Xi Zihe pointed at the only girl in the squad, Yao Yue, who was wiping her rifle because it was stained with zombie blood.

Feifei greeted obediently, "Yue-jiejie."

Seeing her adorable appearance, Yao Yue threw her rifle and washcloth at Wen Fan before enthusiastically hugging Feifei. "You're so adorable!"

Feifei felt almost asphyxiated from being hugged tightly. Then he heard his father lightly coughing. Like being electrocuted, Yao Yue instantly unleashed Feifei.

He scratched his nape confusedly, "Sir, I'm suddenly cold. Are my clothes still less thick?"

Behind him, Wen Fan shouted inwardly, stupid, look behind you! Master Shen looked at you coldly !

Xi Zihe did not care and continued his introduction. He pointed at Wen Fan, "Uncle is vice-captain, his name is Wen Fan."

As before Feifei still politely greeted, "Uncle Fan."

Wen Fan replied with a friendly smile and nodded.

"She's called Lu Lin." Xi Zihe pointed to someone who looked half-asleep, yet still stood up by hugging his weapon. Lu Lin was very sleepy from being awake all night to guard Shen Yuan's door so that no one would mess up.

Since Feifei did not want to disturb his sleep, he simply nodded.

"Now introduce yourself," lightly, Xi Zihe pushed Feifei forward.

"My name is Shen Feifei. And that was my father," He pointed at Shen Yuan who was leaning on the shelf. "his name"

Shen Yuan wanted to stop Feifei from saying his name, but it was too late. He heard Feifei say

"Name is Shen Yuan."

Everyone was frozen in place. A split second later, Shen Yuan was violently pushed into the shelf of goods. The stuff fell down to make a sharp sound. He looked at the expression of anger on Xi Zihe's face.

He gritted his teeth furiously, "That's you?!"
