Chapter 43

To the side, Ye Tianlong was stunned by Shen Chen’s fight with the zombie. His body shivered like a fallen leaf in the autumn wind. His face was covered with tears, and his nose was running, which obviously showed that the ugly zombie had scared him out of his mind.

‘Utterly incredible! He… he tore the zombie into pieces! This isn’t a TV drama—not like the drama about the resistance against Japanese aggregation. This happened in front of my eyes! This is true. He literally broke off a zombie’s upper palate and chin and broke the zombie’s head up like he was cutting a watermelon. Is he even a human being?’ Ye Tianlong was in a daze.

Now Shen Chen looked quite pale! The violent and fierce fight seemed an easy job for him, but, in fact, he had used all his strength to achieve it. The Evolution Fluid left in his body had also made a contribution to his explosive strength. After the fight, the remaining Evolution Fluid circulated around uncontrollably in his veins.

Shen Chen resisted the pain all over his body, and his eyes searched around in a hurry to find a supplement.

To kill the zombie, Shen Chen had exhausted his strength. The Evolution Fluid wasn’t completely absorbed by his body, and it had even been partially rejected. If he couldn’t get supplements such as ginseng in time, what would happen to his body would be unpredictably miserable.

Shen Chen held back his pain and asked, “Have you got any supplement? Ginseng or bird’s nest?”

Ye Tianlong blinked and said, “Yes, there is a gift box of bird’s nest. But it’s artificial bird’s nest, not like the natural thing…”

“Where is it?” Shen Chen asked urgently, gritting his teeth.

“In front of you, left!” Ye Tianlong replied quickly.

Shen Chen stumbled and rushed over there immediately, and the pain in his body made him almost black out.

On top of the counter, there were several boxes of bird’s nest covered by dust. Shen Chen roughly tore the package and quickly picked up a bottle and poured it into his mouth. But after he finished a bottle of artificial bird’s nest, his pain wasn’t relieved at all.

One bottle… Two bottles… One box… Two boxes…

After Shen Chen took eight boxes of bird’s nests, he felt a trace of heat spring up in his stomach. Shen Chen quickly turned over and sat down with his legs crossed. He concentrated on guiding the heat in his body.

Fortunately, the heat, though not strong, was continuous, warming the Evolution Fluid in his body and helping him slowly absorb it. Shen Chen finally felt relieved. If he was able to suppress this sudden chaos inside his body for a while, he would have time to find what he needed in a drugstore.

Suddenly, his heart quickened in alarm. Someone was approaching. Shen Chen opened his eyes. His sharp eyes shot at Ye Tianlong, who was walking to him.

Shen Chen’s fierce and murderous look made Ye Tianlong shiver. Ye Tianlong sat on the ground and said with a trembling voice, “Shen Chen…”

Shen Chen stared at Ye Tianlong, who was holding a bottle of beer in his hand. The black blade suddenly went out of its sheath. He asked in a cold voice, “What do you want?”

Ye Tianlong was so scared that he quickly waved his hand. He suddenly looked at the beer in his hand and threw it on the ground. “I just wanted to give this to you. Guo Yuan said that you had some medicine wine in the drugstore. I don’t have medicine wine. I’ve got you a beer…”

Shen Chen looked at the honest-looking man in front of him. He seemed scared to death but still tried to explain himself. Cold sweat was breaking out on his face.

Shen Chen’s fierce and murderous look eased a little. “I don’t need that. Get it away from me.”

Ye Tianlong nodded awkwardly with a breath of relief.

Shen Chen took a deep breath. He realized that he could suppress the Evolution Fluid in his body temporarily. He stood up and asked coldly, “Have you got all the things you need? If you’re finished, let’s head back!”

“Ah, I’m done. Let’s go back!” Ye Tianlong nodded and bowed to Shen Chen, but the frightened look was still fixed on his face.

On the way back, Ye Tianlong trotted alongside Shen Chen and looked at him from time to time. He seemed like he wanted to say something, but he never uttered a word.

When they arrived at the residential building, Ye Tianlong seemed to have summoned all of his courage and was finally able to open his mouth. He suddenly said, “Master, I want to ask you a question.”

“What’s the problem?” Shen Chen didn’t stop or turn to look at him. He kept walking.

“You… Have we met each other anywhere before?” Ye Tianlong asked tentatively.

Shen Chen paused for a while, then continued his previous steps and asked without turning back. “What do you mean?”

Ye Tianlong hurriedly waved his hand and explained, “Don’t get me wrong, Master. I just think that there may be some misunderstanding between you and me.” He quickly raised his voice and said, “It’s likely that I’m thinking too much. Brother, forgive me for this.”

Shen Chen finally stopped after hearing what Ye Tianlong said. He turned around and looked at Ye Tianlong carefully.

Under Shen Chen’s steely gaze, Ye Tianlong felt a powerful aura sweep over him. He felt as if he were being scanned by an X-ray, inside and out. His whole body froze. He didn’t know what Shen Chen saw. He only felt as if he were being watched and that he couldn’t move.

Ye Tianlong didn’t know how long it took until Shen Chen finally said something. It felt as if it had been a century. Shen Chen asked slowly, “The end of the world will soon be here. What do you think about that?”

Ye Tianlong was surprised. He thought Shen Chen was going to put a knife to his neck like before. He never thought that Shen Chen would ask him such a serious question.

“Me?” Ye Tianlong smiled bitterly and shook his head. “What can I do about it? Live the rest of my days and… and with those guys, every day counts.”

“You could leave them there. You could have this supermarket by yourself. The stock in the supermarket is enough for you to live for several years.” Shen Chen’s words were very cruel, but it is the nature of human beings to be cruel. “You could have a better life.”

Ye Tianlong shook in a hurry. He couldn’t believe that Shen Chen was asking him to abandon the others. His eyes were full of hidden anger. “Why would you think that way? Bro, people are social animals. There is no way I could live alone for more than a year and a half! And, because I have this supermarket, I have the ability to help others. I should save more people! Although I’m just a businessman, and I’m not as powerful as you, if one day I and all the other people are doomed to die, I will leave with a clear conscience.”

“With a clear conscience! What a clear conscience!” Shen Chen thought about what Ye Tianlong just said.

There was a little smile on his face and a shine of glory in his eyes, but soon these emotions disappeared. He looked at Ye Tianlong meaningfully.

Suddenly, he pulled out the Black Blade from its sheath and put it on Ye Tianlong’s neck. “You’re not lying to me?”

“Yes! Maybe we had some misunderstanding before, or maybe I offended you. But if you really want to kill me today, please take care of the others in the building. I hope you can be their leader!”

Ye Tianlong looked at Shen Shen sincerely. His eyes were shining with perseverance, and he looked so different from the man in Shen Chen’s memory.

There was a cold smile on the corner of Shen Chen’s mouth. “Okay! In that case, you will be satisfied!”

The next moment, the black blade shined! Ye Tianlong closed his eyes. He was trembling, but he stood upright and waited for the pain.

The gorgeous light of Shen Chen’s blade shined fleetingly across the air.

Bang!
