Living Dead's

Chapter 69 - Guilt

Tests..

Blood kept coming out from the wound on Yang Ruisis left eye, flowing towards his chin and dripping down one by one soaking his military uniform.

He raised his head, and met a look like he was about to cry in the eyes of Feifei and He Zhao.

"What's with your expressions? I'm not dead yet." Yang Ruisi rose up slowly from above the floor. "It's just the left eye. It's okay."

He Zhao stood still, his head bowed, and his hands clenched tightly beside the thighs.

This is because uncle is trying to protect us. If only I had been more useful, uncle's left eye would definitely not be like that!

He Zhao felt very guilty and useless. Feifei was only ten years old, he was not to blame. But he himself, should be able to do something. As Yang Ruisi said, on the battlefield, even small children had to take up arms. But why can't he do anything?

He Zhao felt like crying.

"Don't think too much." He Zhao raised his head after hearing Yang Ruisi's voice. "It's not your fault, so you don't have to feel guilty."

He Zhao could see Yang Ruisi smiling. That smile was filled with arrogance and self-confidence. "If anyone's to blame, it's definitely those damn chimpanzee zombies. Huh! You ape!" After saying that, Yang Ruisi rubbed He Zhao's head violently.

Feifei looked at the interaction between Yang Ruisi and He Zhao from behind. Maybe others cannot see clearly, but he who is always behind can see everything clearly.

He could remember the expression on Yang Ruisi's face when the zombie appeared before them. He remembered how Yang Ruisi was trying to protect him by hiding him behind his back. Back then, he felt that Yang Ruisi's back was huge and reliable, just like his father's back.

However seeing Yang Ruisi's current state, Feifei felt he was just a burden. At this moment, Feifei cried in front of Yang Ruisi.

Feifei grasped the tip of Yang Ruisi's uniform, he said slowly, "I'm sorry, Uncle Yang. I shouldn't have sneaked to leave."

Kneeling on Feifei, Yang Ruisi smiled as she continued to close her left eye using the palm of her hand. "came... It was not Xiao Fei's fault. You also helped me back then, didn't you?"

Yang Ruisi did not know she had to laugh or cry. Two children were crying because of her, and now she was also the one who had to comfort both of them. He felt this was even more difficult than defusing the bomb.

Feifei dug into his beloved bear bag, and managed to find a handkerchief patterned with small flowers. With his small hand, he pressed the wound on Yang Ruisi's left eye with that handkerchief.

"Is this for me?" Feifei did not speak and simply nodded. Yang Ruisi smiled as she said, "Alright. Thanks." After that, he tied a handkerchief to the back of his head.

The flower-patterned handkerchief was quickly stained by the seeping red blood, it looked extremely terrifying. Yet Yang Ruisi did not have the time to think about her appearance as their door was pounded by zombies.

Brak! Brak!

"Dam. That's fast..."

The zombies followed the smell and traces of blood left behind by Yang Ruisi and followed them to the door of this house.

"Come, we gotta hurry!"

Yang Ruisi gave the direction to the two boys to follow her. They went deeper into the house and reached the balcony door.

When going to enter the building, from a distance Yang Ruisi could see the existence of emergency stairs. This was the last escape route he could think of. He could only hope that, while on the roof later, they could signal to Xi Zihe's helicopter.

He Zhao went up first, followed by Feifei, and Yang Ruisi ran in the very back row.

Bang out!

The sound of the door being smashed open was heard by the three of them, followed by a zombie roar from inside the house. He Zhao further accelerated his foot movements.

Dang dang dang

The sound of their footsteps on the iron stairs sounded extremely loud in the middle of the deserted city. The zombies started following them from behind. The enormous herd of zombies climbed up, one after another, swarming forward with incredible liveliness.

The three of them climbed up to the highest part. He Zhao was finally able to reach the roof of the apartment, he stopped and opened the door, after they all passed he closed it and locked it.

Feifei instantly collapsed on the ground as it was no longer strong to move its legs. He's very tired, along with the others.

Yang Ruisi exhaled quickly, losing a lot of blood made her slightly dizzy, until her skin slowly turned pale.

"We, we'll hide here first." Sitting leaning against the wall, Yang Ruisi instructed the two boys to pray. "Come, let's pray that Captain Xi remembers to save us."

He Zhao immediately put his hands together and said loudly, "Please, come quickly."

Yang Ruisi smiled and self-deprecated. Maybe before the helicopter came, he was already dead from losing a lot of blood. Coupled with the increasingly cold weather, he would not be able to last much longer. But suddenly hearing something, Yang Ruisi raised her head and looked at the vast sky.

The roar of the propeller is getting closer. A dark green helicopter emerged from behind the skyscraper. There were two people standing right at the entrance. Even from a distance away, Yang Ruisi instantly recognized her abnormal Captain, and their cold father with just a glance.

Xi Zihe and Shen Yuan.

"They're both..." Yang Ruisi desperately held back a laugh and looked towards the two little children beside her. "They're both so cool, aren't they?"

Still unable to believe that the helicopter had actually come after they prayed, Feifei and He Zhao were still sitting on the ground and did not know how to respond.

With a proud smile, Yang Ruisi said to herself, "Hm... Is my prayer powerful too?"

Yang Ruisi quickly stood up, and waved her hands excitedly. He cupped his hands in his mouth into the shape of a trumpet and shouted loudly, "Captain Xi! Daddy's! We're here!"

But before he could say another sentence, his internal danger alarm suddenly sounded, and he heard Feifei's scream behind him. Reflexes tilt his head, he avoids sharp nails that reach from the side of his head.

A zombie!

A large rotting body attacked, accompanied by a gust of wind that smelled foul and rancid with blood. Yang Ruisi got out of the way, avoiding the zombies sharp teeth.

This chimpanzee zombie again?!

Yang Ruisi cursed back in her heart. Why isn't he dead?!

Blood and flesh were seen clinging to his sharp claws. His body looked charred in some parts, yet the zombie still continued to move and looked towards Yang Ruisi with a hostile gaze.
