WMSR – QT Chapter 149

On the day Lin Jiawen found Bai Yichen, who had already transformed into a zombie, he returned to Z City, back to the home they had shared for five years, and meticulously kept this zombie in captivity.

He changed "him" into clean clothes, washed his body, tidied his hair, and restored cleanliness to "him" to the best of his ability, because he knew that "him" loved cleanliness the most during his lifetime and could never bear being in such a filthy state.

He even raised "him" in the bedroom "he" had used before he died, and regularly brought "him" to spend some time in his favorite study every day, everything just like it used to be.

The only difference was that most of the time, Lin Jiawen used soft cloth to bind the zombie's hands and feet, for no other reason than that the zombie would unconsciously scratch the door upon hearing movements outside, tirelessly wanting to rush out, and it would break his heart to see "him" scratch the door until his nails were torn back.

He knew that zombies liked fresh flesh and blood, so every once in a while he would go out hunting to get fresh blood to please "him". In fact, if he didn't know that this person's personality during his lifetime would find it unacceptable, he wouldn't even mind directly using the Lingxiao Survivor Base as a source of fresh flesh and blood—after all, his most beloved person was already dead, so why should those people still live so well?

After bringing back the transformed Ling Mengchen, Lin Jiawen also found ways to figure out all the details that happened in the base that day, and then strung everything together.

Even after knowing everything, he had to admit that there were many coincidental factors in all these matters, which ultimately led to this irreversible consequence, but he could not forgive!

He could not forgive the rumor spread by Xiao Yi that alerted the man infected with the zombie virus; he could not forgive Qi Yuanyuan for dragging Mengchen down to accompany her in death to retaliate against Xiao Yi after she was infected with the zombie virus; nor could he forgive the people he sent to protect Mengchen for failing to protect him well. Likewise, he could even less forgive himself for so easily leaving Mengchen alone in the base back then and departing so easily.

His naive thoughts were the root cause of his losing Mengchen. Why did he trust others so easily, and why did he entrust Mengchen's safety to someone else?

Yet no matter how much he hated, what could he do? The person he loved most would never come back. Like a wounded beast, he could only bite onto his remaining possession and return to his familiar territory to lick his wounds.

But he knew that the death of his beloved would not just end like this. Qi Yuanyuan, who had caused Mengchen to be infected with the virus, had already turned into a zombie a step ahead; for Gu Song and those others whose protection was derelict, there were the words of plea written in Mengchen's own handwriting. He had no way to exact revenge on these two matters anymore, but Xiao Yi—this person who had precipitated Mengchen's death from beginning to end—he would never let him go......

Many years later........

The door to the room where the zombie was kept in captivity was pushed open, and the figure who frequented this place every day appeared at the doorway once again. Today, however, that figure did not appear as punctually as usual, nor was his posture as upright as before, his footsteps carrying a strange sluggishness.

The person walked into the room, and through a sliver of light coming from outside the window, his complexion could be seen to be unusually pale.

And the zombie, which had been meticulously kept in captivity and cared for over the years and had even advanced to the third tier, keenly smelled a fresh bloody scent on the newcomer that hadn't been there before, and immediately let out an excited roar.

Seeing the zombie's excited appearance, a helpless expression appeared on Lin Jiawen's face. "Still can't hide it from you." As he spoke, a trace of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth.

However, he paid no mind to his internal bleeding, which he was completely unable to control, and instead looked at the zombie's violent struggling with a look of heartache. "Don't move, be careful."

He didn't care about his own injuries, habitually worrying only that the zombie's violent movements would hurt itself. After all, now that the other party had advanced to a third-tier zombie, he had no choice but to switch to iron chains strong enough to effectively control it.

Lin Jiawen took two steps closer to the zombie and could clearly sense that "he" had become even more excited, which inevitably brought a happy look to his face. "I know, you miss me too."

Even though the fact was that zombies would become excited at the approach of any living human flesh and blood, Lin Jiawen clearly chose to forcibly ignore this point.

Lin Jiawen walked closer to the zombie, gazing at "him" with an unusually tender expression. Over all these years, he had never forgotten the vow he made, nor had he lost count of how many times he had seized the opportunity to launch surprise attacks on Xiao Yi.

As the leader of the base, Xiao Yi did not go out very often, and with many ability wielders constantly following around him every time, the difficulty of launching a surprise attack was extremely high. Even so, Lin Jiawen's sneak attacks still left Xiao Yi gravely wounded on several occasions.

And this time was even more successful than ever before.

The only pity was that he still failed to take his life in one fell swoop.

Even so, he believed that the injuries he inflicted on Xiao Yi were enough to make him suffer.

Thinking of this, a brilliant smile appeared on Lin Jiawen's face, but very soon, he thought of that matter, and his face suddenly turned gloomy. Xiao Yi, that person—how could he dare, how did he even have the face to bring it up? How could a person be shameless to such a degree!

Whenever he recalled that shameless and delusional request Xiao Yi had made to him, he would simply fly into an uncontrollable rage.

Xiao Yi actually dared to demand Mengchen's physical remains from him!

Originally, he thought Xiao Yi would feel guilty enough because of that incident, but who could have expected that he would still be delusional enough to want Mengchen's remains, and even issued a ridiculous battle challenge to him, proclaiming that the two of them would fight a fair match and the one who won would get "him".

Naturally, he would not accept this challenge. He had already lost him once because of Xiao Yi; how could he possibly be provoked by Xiao Yi's plots and schemes a second time?

And the injuries he made Xiao Yi suffer this time were a lesson for daring to covet Mengchen's remains.

As Lin Jiawen laughed and laughed, he couldn't help coughing softly, and more blood gushed out, while the zombie beside him grew even more agitated.
