Chapter 211 Chen Zheng
This is No.30 for eight days.

Dead, all dead.

Chen Zheng could smell the stench even though it was separated by several doors.

He stared out the window, his eyes longing for sunshine.It was something he should have been able to possess, a treasure he had never cared about.

But now, he can't get close to the sun or the warmth.For him now, that is not light, that is poison, poison enough to kill him.

Chen Zheng huddled in the corner, avoiding the light spots that came in.The sharp pain in his memory, like a laser, was deeply imprinted in his mind.

"..." He hugged his legs and curled up into a ball.His eyes were rather dull, and his face looked slightly stiff.The cheekbones on his face were protruding, and his skin was sickly pale.

"Why? Why on earth is this?" Chen Zheng lowered his head with dull eyes. He didn't know what huge mistake he had made to become like this.I had a great future, but it was all ruined overnight.

A smile appeared at the corner of Chen Zheng's mouth. His skin was as stiff as rubber, showing the slightest cracks.

"Deserves it, deserves it, deserves it!" He repeated this sentence, but no one knew who he was talking about deserved it.

"Crack-"

The door to the room was pushed open, and along with the cool summer breeze, a disgusting smell of corpses came in.

You could hear the chaos in the corridor, with many people talking in various ways.

"Dad, I'm back..." The voice was very small and soft, and her figure was reflected in the dim room. She was a thin girl.

She is not tall, but her eyes are bright and moving.The cheeks are visibly thin, and the cheekbones are as protruding as Chen Zheng's.

With her dry hair tied into braids, she slowed down and walked towards Chen Zheng.Passing the bamboo basket on her wrist to his side, she said in a gentle and cheerful voice.

"Dad, I have some meat today, just enough to replenish your body."

"Don't eat, I won't eat!" Chen Zheng buried his head in his knees, his voice as sharp as torn cloth.His hand pushed the bamboo basket away hard.Even though he was very thin at the moment, the strength of an adult man was not something a little girl could resist.

The girl fell to the ground and rubbed her butt silently.

"I'm sorry..." Chen Zheng realized his recklessness and apologized to the little girl in a very soft voice.

"I'm not, I didn't mean it."

"I know." The little girl smiled, waved to Chen Zheng, and stood up from the ground neatly.Picking up the vegetables and palm-sized pieces of meat that had fallen on the ground, she walked up to him.He knelt down and stared at him with bright eyes.

"Dad, don't worry. I found a job and I can support you in the future."

The little girl said with joy in her voice.

"Really..." Chen Zheng glanced at her with dull eyes, then lowered his head.The room fell silent.

He looked at his hands, which were dry and wrinkled, like pickled chicken feet, without any fleshiness.

What is the purpose of living now?

Staying in this dark place, you will never see the light.I was always worried that someone would discover something unusual about me and then be arrested and executed.He was unable to eat and relied on water to sustain himself.There is no difference between living like this and dying.Although he had the desire to suck blood, he had always suppressed it.

What's more, he still can't die.

There was bitterness on his zombie-like face. If possible, he didn't want to face the little girl in front of him with his worst temper.

His spirit was stretched to the extreme, and his emotions were something that even he couldn't control. "Dad, did you know? Uncle Wang's family next door was killed," the little girl said. "Only a child of a few years old was left, and he was taken to an orphanage."

She spoke of the orphanage, her voice trembling slightly.It seems that he is afraid of a place like the orphanage.

"That's right, I know." Chen Zheng replied silently.

The couple were very honest people. The man had dark skin and could tell he was from the country.When they first moved here, they visited us enthusiastically and brought some vegetables and fruits they grew themselves.

On weekdays, their voices sounded kind and calm, and even Chen Zheng found it hard to think that they would offend anyone.

But he had already reminded them, and even told the couple three days in advance to pay attention to safety recently.

Unfortunately, they didn't seem to listen to their own opinions.Maybe he thought he was joking.After all, for a person who stays indoors all day and is mysterious, probably no one is willing to listen to what he has to say.

"If he goes to an orphanage at such a young age, will he die?" the little girl murmured.

"..." Chen Zheng said nothing, and he had nothing to say.After so many days, he knew very little information about the outside world.

His condition makes it difficult for him to access information from the outside world, and his current skinny appearance also prevents him from easily stepping out of the house.

Man is a creature that is afraid of alien existence.Chen Zheng was also frightened when he saw himself in the mirror for the first time.If you want to describe how thin you are, most of the time you are just skin-to-bone.

"Dad, I don't want to go to the orphanage..." There was a hint of pleading in the little girl's voice. "Don't let me go, okay? I will work hard to earn money to support you."

As she spoke, she put her arms around Chen Zheng's neck and buried her face in his shoulder.

"Dad, don't leave my little sister again, okay?"

"..." Chen Zheng opened his mouth, feeling that his throat was blocked by something, and he couldn't say anything.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the house.Chen Zheng looked at the little girl and tightened the clothes he was wearing.

The little girl quickly got up and opened the door, and the dark room welcomed the light again.

"Chen Zheng, please open the door. It's me, Third Uncle. I heard that you haven't been out for more than a month. Third Uncle came to see you." He spoke in a loud voice, and sounded like a very confident person.

Chen Zheng glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw that the other party's tall body was like a bear, which was awe-inspiring.

The little girl seemed intimidated by him and her voice stammered.

"Three, third uncle. Why are you here?"

"you are a person?"

"My dad is also at home, but he is sick."

"Call him out. I have something to ask him. Don't be afraid. I'm just here to see your dad." A middle-aged man with a gentle temperament next to the strong man said with a smile, his tone a little softer.

"Okay..." The little girl hesitated for a moment, then turned around and called to Chen Zheng in the corner. "Dad, third uncle is here."

Chen Zheng stood up with his hands on the ground, swaying towards the door as if there was only a skeleton left in his body.

"What's the matter?" A dry voice sounded, and Chen Zheng lowered his head and asked in a muffled voice.He looked at the young man next to the middle-aged man at the door. At this moment, his originally dull pupils suddenly shrank.

what happened?This young man, this young man wearing a Taoist robe.Why do I feel nameless fear when I see him.who is he?Where did the third uncle find him again?
"Are you Chen Zheng? It seems that you were seriously poisoned by the corpse energy. Poor Taoist Jiang Wen, you must be polite." The young man smiled happily at him.
