The End of the World: Don’t be afraid, I’ll protect you

Chapter 3 Don't Be Afraid Aunt Qing

The cry was so unusual, as if something horrible had happened.

Shen Yan's heart skipped a beat. He didn't even have time to rinse the foam off his head. He pulled the bath towel around himself and ran out of the room.

Shen Yan's home was on the third floor. Just as he ran to the door of the unit downstairs, he saw Aunt Qing running back while looking back from afar, and there seemed to be four or five figures following her.

"Ah, who is it?!"

Turning around and seeing Shen Yan, Xia Wanqing was startled again and asked with a pale face.

"Aunt Qing, it's me, what's wrong?"

"Ouch."

Xia Wanqing patted her chest with lingering fear and said hurriedly: "Xiaoyan, hurry up, something big has happened!"

Then without saying anything, he grabbed Shen Yan's hand and ran upstairs.

Aunt Qing was very strong. When she pulled Shen Yan, he almost fell down. At the same time, his hands loosened and the bath towel fell to the ground.

Shen Yan subconsciously wanted to pick it up.

But the moment I turned around, those figures had already caught up with me. Their running postures were weird, and they were making "ho ho" roars from their mouths. They didn't look like humans at all.

Shen Yan suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and a chill instantly rushed from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

He no longer cared about anything else and ran upstairs with Aunt Qing.

"Hurry, go hide in your aunt's house for a while!"

Arriving at the door of her home on the third floor, Xia Wanqing calmed down a little.

But his hands were still shaking violently, and he touched the pockets of his nightgown with trembling hands.

"Where's the key?"

"Where are my keys?!"

"You were clearly still here just now!"

Aunt Qing stamped her feet anxiously, but she couldn't find anything after searching for a long time.
Shen Yan reminded: "Aunt Qing, did you leave your key at my house?"

Xia Wanqing responded: "Yes, yes, Auntie just cleaned up the room for you, Xiaoyan, what about you, did you bring the key?"

"No."

Shen Yan is naked.

What's more, he subconsciously closed the door of his house before going out!
"Hurry, hurry upstairs and go to the neighbor's house!"

Xia Wanqing almost collapsed. She pulled Shen Yan's hand again and wanted to ask the neighbors for help.

But at this moment, with the sound of "thump thump" footsteps approaching, those "human figures" just now had rushed up.

Although their running posture was strange, their speed was not slow, and they were definitely too late to go upstairs.

"It's over."

Xia Wanqing’s eyes went dark.

Having just witnessed how these people bit passers-by, no one knew better than her how terrifying they were!
Shen Yan also felt uneasy.

But as a surgical medical student, his psychological quality is still good.

At this critical moment, he didn't care about anything else. He hugged Aunt Qing's soft body from behind and protected her in the darkest corner of the corridor.

"Aunt Qing, don't make any noise. I'll explain it to you later."

Shen Yan covered Aunt Qing's mouth and tried his best to lower his voice.

After that stunning glimpse and thinking about the urban legend of the old man from the Third Hospital coming back to life, he realized that these "things" looked like the zombies that often appear in movies and TV dramas!

And zombies seem to identify their prey through light and sound?
Although he didn't know whether this statement was true, he didn't even have a scalpel in his hand right now. Resistance would only kill him faster, so he could only take a gamble.

If the bet is right, they can all survive.

But the bet was wrong, and now he just happened to protect Aunt Qing under him.

If he is discovered at that time, he will protect Aunt Qing even at the risk of his life.

Xia Wanqing widened her eyes in horror. With her back to the zombies, she could only hear the footsteps getting closer.

She became more and more frightened, but she felt more regretful.

If I wasn't so curious and didn't come out to watch the fun, I wouldn't have put Xiaoyan and her in danger, right?

The messy footsteps were still approaching.

You can even smell the pungent smell of blood and stench.

Xia Wanqing closed her eyes resigned to her fate, tears silently falling from her eyes. Xiaoyan, I'm sorry.
Shen Yan's fear at this moment was no less than Aunt Qing's.

With his back to the zombies, the hairs on his back stood up and his heart beat like a drum.

He turned his head somewhat stiffly, and the next second, he was frightened to death.

At this moment, the zombie in front was less than a foot away from his face.

Even though the light in the old-fashioned staircase was broken, with the help of the faint moonlight, he could still see the half-bloody face of the leading zombie and smell the pungent smell of blood.

Fortunately, as a surgical student, he often faced corpses and had a strong mental state. He tried his best to hold his breath and remained motionless.

That disgusting face was still approaching, as if observing something in confusion.

20 cm
Stop, stop looking at it!

Ten centimeters.
Damn it, it's over.
Five centimeters.
It's over, completely!
Shen Yan was desperate.

But he did not give up. He tensed his muscles, clenched his teeth, and was ready to fight to the death.

No matter what, he didn't want Aunt Qing to be hurt in the slightest!

But just when he was about to loosen his grip on Aunt Qing and throw a punch, that face actually stopped!

Then he almost stuck his nose to Shen Yan's, shook his head left and right, and turned his body!
"That was a close call. Not making any noise seems to actually work!"

Shen Yan stopped his fist abruptly.

Under his gaze, one step, two steps, three steps.
This zombie's steps were very slow, not at all as agile as when it was chasing him just now.

But it was really leaving, and under its leadership, the other zombies followed it, staggering towards the fourth floor.

"call"

Until they disappeared from sight.

Shen Yan started breathing heavily frantically.

After surviving the disaster, he was almost exhausted.

Xia Wanqing also heard the footsteps gradually fading away.

She didn't know what happened, but the tension in her heart relaxed a little.

It was not until this moment that she suddenly realized that their postures were somewhat ambiguous.

"little words"

Xia Wanqing's cheeks felt hot and she blushed and twisted her body uncomfortably.

Feel that amazing softness.

It was not until then that Shen Yan realized that there was something wrong with the position of his hand.

His heartbeat, which had just calmed down, began beating violently again.

However, he respected Aunt Qing very much, and even though he was reluctant to leave, he withdrew his hand without hesitation.

"Aunt Qing, I'm sorry."

"It happened for a reason. I don't blame you. Why did they leave?"

Xia Wanqing tried her best to control her eyes from moving downwards.

She remembered that Xiaoyan seemed to have a bath towel on her body just now, was it lost?
"They may be using sound and light to identify their prey."

The two spoke in low voices, which did not attract the zombies' attention.

Xia Wanqing patted her chest with lingering fear: "It's so scary. The situation was so urgent just now that I didn't even think about it. There's the key under the doormat. Let's go home quickly."

"okay."

Shen Yan also felt somewhat relieved.

Even though what had just happened was extremely dangerous and the world seemed to be undergoing tremendous changes that he didn't understand, as long as he returned home, he should be safe for the time being.

Boom!
But at this moment, he didn't pay attention and kicked an empty mineral water bottle that someone threw.

The corridor was very quiet at this moment, and this sudden sound instantly attracted the attention of the zombies again.

What's even more unfortunate is that a zombie just came up from downstairs, and immediately rushed over roaring when he heard the words.

“Ahhhh!”

It’s over, there are pursuers in front and blockades behind!
