Chapter 152: Even if it’s a fire pit, you have to jump into it!
Seeing Shousui's expression suddenly change, Chi Yu couldn't help but feel curious about the photo in his hand, "Whose photo is this? Could it be a nude photo of you? Let me see..." He moved closer to Shousui and looked up.
Shousui took a step back reflexively, retracted his hand without leaving a trace, and tilted the photo to cover it up. "No, it's just a prank."
"I don't believe it. Let me see." Chi Yu thought his subconscious avoidance was a sign of guilt, and he even wanted to grab it while saying that.
"That won't do," Shousui clutched the photo tightly to avoid his snatch, and reached into Chi Yu's pocket to take the lighter, "Since it's a nude photo, how can I let you see it?" After saying that, he turned around and ran to light the photo.
When Chi Yu chased after him, the "nude photo" had already been thrown into the ashtray by Shou Sui and burned. "What? How stingy!" Chi Yu complained dissatisfiedly.
Shousui looked at the photo in the ashtray, which was burnt to the size of a thumbnail, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. He was thinking for a while, Gu? Could it be that Major Gu? Shousui's eyes flashed with a cold look.
"Is there a fire?" When He Ci came out after taking a shower and getting dressed, he saw smoke in the living room outside and a strong smell of tobacco in the air. He frowned.
Suddenly, Chi Yu heard He Ci's voice behind him. He was startled and immediately put out the cigarette he had just smoked two puffs in the ashtray. Turning around, Chi Yu looked at He Ci who was walking towards them with a silly smile on his face, as if he had been caught doing something bad.
Although Chi Yu's movements were quick, the sharp-eyed He Ci still noticed it. He Ci glanced at the half-smoked cigarette in the ashtray on the table and raised his eyebrows, switching his gaze between Shou Sui and Chi Yu, "Where did the cigarette come from?"
"It was...given to me by Brother Tianqing." Chi Yu replied weakly.
"Smear less."
Seeing that He Ci did not scold him, Chi Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
Maybe because he had been a good student for too long before the end of the world, Chi Yu thought that smoking was a bad thing. If his mother found out, he would be severely scolded. He Ci treated him as well as his own brother. Chi Yu subconsciously treated He Ci as a family member. When he was caught trying to smoke for the first time, he subconsciously feared that He Ci would scold him.
He Ci saw Shousui staring at the table in a daze, and couldn't help but wave his hand in front of him, "What are you looking at? Are you in a trance?"
"Nothing." Shousui came to his senses, took his hand and squeezed his palm.
"Come and have breakfast." He Ci took the lead and walked him to the dining table.
"Well, I'll go wash my face first. You guys eat first. You don't have to wait for me." Shousui pulled his hand out of the man's palm and turned back to the bedroom.
In the bathroom, Shousui turned on the faucet, scooped up a handful of water with both hands and washed his face. He was wondering what excuse he could make to leave so as not to arouse suspicion from He Ci and Chi Yu?
He leaned his hands on the edge of the sink and thought for a while.
Chi Yu, who was eating breakfast at the dining table, saw Shou Sui coming out of the room and hurriedly walking towards the living room door. He couldn't help but call Shou Sui and asked, "Hey, where are you going?"
Shousui stopped, turned around and explained in a serious manner without revealing any expression, "Mo Yuankai contacted me and said that Shouchen had been found and asked me to go over and pick them up."
Zombies can communicate with each other through brain waves, so Chi Yu and He Ci did not doubt the words about staying up all night.
"Come and have your meal first, and we'll go together later." He Ci pulled out the chair next to him and patted the seat board towards Shousui, motioning him to come and sit down.
"I, I'm not hungry," Shousui stammered, "Shouchen is too naughty and Mo Yuankai can't control him. I'll be back soon, just wait here." As he spoke, Shousui had already walked to the door and pressed the doorknob.
"Wait a moment."
Shousui paused, and was about to leave when Heci's voice stopped him again. He turned around with a guilty conscience, and looked at Heci who was walking towards him with a nervous look.
"Do you have to leave in such a hurry? You have to eat something even if you are not hungry!" He Ci came up and handed the blood bag in his hand to Shou Sui, "Here, take it and drink it on the way."
Shousui, who thought He Ci had seen through his lie, couldn't help but secretly relax when he saw this.
"Got it." He put away the blood bag. In order to prevent the man from noticing anything, Shousui stood on tiptoe and kissed He Ci on the cheek as a reward, then quickly walked out.
He Ci couldn't help but smile with joy. When he saw Shousui involuntarily showing a nervous expression, He Ci did have some doubts in his heart. But when Shousui took the initiative to kiss him goodbye, He Ci felt so happy that all his doubts disappeared in an instant.
"Why don't you tell them that Shouchen was kidnapped? They asked you to go alone, so you just did it? Aren't you afraid of fraud?"
As soon as Shousui went out, Xuansang asked via telepathy.
"If I tell them, they will definitely follow me. The other party asked me to go alone. If they find out that there are other people with me, who knows if they will do anything to hurt Shouchen?"
If the other party had captured other ordinary zombies, it would be lost, and Shousui would not feel any pain. But Shouchen was different. Although Shouchen was also a zombie, he was so cute and human. Since Shouchen followed him, Shousui always treated him as a younger brother.
Moreover, Chi Yu and Shouchen are such good friends. If he knew that Shouchen was in danger, he would definitely not want to see Shouchen get into trouble.
Shousui naturally thought that this might be a trap, and based on just a photo and a few threatening words, he even suspected that the other party had not captured Shouchen at all. After all, Shouchen was a sixth-level zombie, how could he be captured so easily?
But when he was in the bathroom, Shousui received a message from Mo Yuankai. His excuse of using Mo Yuankai as a cover was a half-truth.
What Mo Yuankai conveyed to him was the bad news of seeking support. He and Yan Shun did find Shouchen in Wancheng, but after their identities were exposed, they were no match for Major Gu and were captured together.
At present, none of them know what the situation is with Shouchen, Mo Yuankai and Yan Shun, so even if they know it is a trap, Shousui has to jump into it!
Seeing that he insisted on going alone, Xuan Sang didn't know what to say.
Shousui borrowed a vehicle from Yin Yu and immediately drove towards Wancheng. He stepped on the accelerator all the way, and the journey that was supposed to take more than three hours took him just over an hour.
When the car entered the urban area of Wancheng, Shousui got off and walked, following the incomplete road signs and slightly dilapidated buildings all the way to the address left in the photo.
It was an unfinished building between the commercial area and the residential area.
The situation in Wancheng is almost the same as that in Shucheng. There is not a single zombie. At least along the way he has encountered not only zombies but even no people.
Shousui walked slowly into the unfinished building and looked around. The desolate and silent abandoned building was very empty and seemed a bit eerie.
