Rebirth in the end of the world, hold the ex's thigh tightly

'Woof woof woof——'

The fight here was over. The cursing dog, upon discovering that his owner had been frozen into an ice sculpture, ran over, circled around him, and then raised his head and barked.

After barking for a while, it turned to everyone with eager eyes. Everyone saw contradiction and confusion in its eyes.

“It’s so worrying.”

Liao Yu sighed with heartache, saying that the IQ of this well-trained military dog ​​was equivalent to that of a seven or eight-year-old child, and it was so lovable.

"Huh? There's something in its collar..."

Jian Cheng noticed with his sharp eyes that on the inside of the collar where the dog's neck was raised, there was a small rectangular black box tied with transparent waterproof tape. The box was about two fingers wide and long, about the size of an ordinary lighter.

Zhou Rongbin walked up to it, stroked its fur and whispered to it soothing it, while feeling for its collar.

I don’t know if it’s because it’s been too long since it was loosened or if the owner did it on purpose, but the collar is a bit tight and it’s hard to notice if you’re not paying attention.

The buttons couldn't be unbuttoned, so Zhao Lei stepped forward to help and fiddled with it for a while before he was able to take off the leather collar.

There are small words printed on the inside of the collar, which are some information about the dog. Most of the words are blurred due to wear and tear, and only four words are engraved separately and are clear:

Name: Xiaoqi.

It should have been done by the owner before he lost consciousness, so that people could recognize it.

“Wuwuwu——”

As soon as the neck relaxed, the dog made a comfortable sound in its throat.

Zhou Rongbin took the opportunity to call out its name:

"Xiaoqi."

'Woof! '

The restless dog head paused for a moment, then rubbed his palm obediently.

Zhao Lei quickly peeled off the tape and took out the thing tied to it:

"It's a recorder. It's well protected, but it's out of power."

The long black recorder was handed to Cheng Jing:

"Brother Cheng, try to see if the charging still works."

"..."

Cheng Jing took it and checked it. The style was simple but the texture was good. There was only a power button, a charging port and an indicator light on it.

With a slight thought, the electric current flowed through his fingertips and connected to the charging port of the recorder.

Zhao Lei and Zhou Rongbin put the collar back on Xiaoqi. Although it was worn and frayed, it was left to it by its owner, so they let it continue to wear it.

After a while, the indicator light of the recorder turned green. Cheng Jing pressed the switch, and a steady male voice came out:

"No matter who you are, if you take this recorder from Xiao Qi, it means I have become a zombie."

Hearing the familiar voice, Xiao Qi, who was originally interacting with Zhou Rongbin, suddenly jumped over, raised his front paws and scratched Cheng Jing:

"Woof woof—"

“Wuwuwu…”

"..."

Cheng Jing patted its head and half-knelt down, comforting it while continuing to play the recording:

"I am a soldier. I won't mention my name. Xiaoqi is my partner. He turned one year old on the day the poisonous rain fell."

'Xiao Qi is very obedient. Although he occasionally slacks off during training, he likes to be close to people more than other friends. He can distinguish between humans and zombies, and will protect humans and attack zombies. He is very smart.'

"I know that I can't recover from the infection, and I can't leave with the main group. Xiaoqi doesn't want to leave either. Since all the survivors in Xihe City have evacuated, there are no living people here. I want to selfishly turn into a zombie and stay here."

'My consciousness started to blur, and many memories in my mind were slowly disappearing. Only my determination to kill zombies remained unaffected. Xiao Qi was also trying hard to guide me. I felt that I was different.'

'Xiao Qi has become very fierce, but as long as I listen to it, I can continue to kill zombies. If you see this strange combination of us, please don't hurt it. By the way, help me get rid of it. A long-range headshot will do. Thank you.'

After the five recorded messages, there was a rustling sound, followed by the last one, which was spoken in an especially serious tone:

"Xiao Qi, you must remember to protect humans at all times. You can do it. You know I have become a zombie. If someone wants to kill me, don't stop them. Follow the kind people and leave here... Goodbye."

After the word "goodbye", there is no other recording content.

Xiao Qi's master did not go into detail about his own circumstances and experiences, nor did he express his deep feelings about the apocalyptic disaster.

He just calmly said that the reason why he was still able to fight zombies after being infected and turned into a zombie was not affected by it, and he was more worried about Xiao Qi.

They didn't know his name, where he was from or which jurisdiction he belonged to. They only knew that he was a soldier, calm, introverted and not good at speaking, but had a smart and loyal companion.

"..."

Cheng Jing played the six recordings several times. Everyone listened in silence with mixed feelings.

In this situation, if they were impulsive, Xiao Qi would be the first one to be knocked down or dealt with.

fortunately.

Listening to the recording, Xiao Qi went from fluttering around excitedly at the beginning to slowly becoming quiet.

Especially the last one, it heard it very clearly and would bark twice in response every time it was played back.

I think his owner must have reminded him many times when he was awake.

Finally, Xiao Qi stopped circling around the recorder and walked to his frozen owner, lying on the ground and watching him motionlessly, without making any noise or making any noise.

Looks extremely pitiful.

It was getting dark. Cheng Jing turned off the recorder and handed it to Zhou Rongbin. He walked over to Xiao Qi and squatted down.

"Xiaoqi."

"..."

Xiao Qi turned his head to look at him and made a 'woohoo' sound as a response.

Cheng Jing stroked its head and said directly, not caring how much it could understand:

"We are going to send your master away. This is his wish. He has turned into a zombie and can't take care of you. You will stay with us from now on, okay?"

"..."

Xiao Qi stared at him blankly, Cheng Jing smiled:

"Don't worry, you will definitely like your new home and new friends..."

After saying that, he nodded to Liao Yu, who walked over and put his hand on the ice sculpture.

Jiang Nian couldn't bear to see this, so he turned his back and walked aside.

Xiaoqi seemed to know what was going to happen and whimpered in his throat. Zhou Rongbin wanted to take it away but it refused, so he could only hold it with both hands just in case.

But they were overthinking it. Xiao Qi was smart and obedient, and he carefully carried out his master's last order.

No matter whether Liao Yurang smashed the ice sculpture or Cheng Jing covered it with thunder and fire, Xiao Qi just watched quietly and made sad sounds, as if saying his final goodbye to his master, but he never rushed over to stop them.

Only when the fire died down and only one crystal core remained did Zhou Rongbin let go of it, his eyes filled with pain.

'Woof! '

Just when Cheng Jing was about to pick up the crystal core, Xiao Qi called out to him.

"..."

Cheng Jing took back his hand:

"you want?"

Xiao Qi ran over, picked up the crystal core after digging at it with his claws a few times, and walked in the direction where he and his owner had come before.

He walked a few steps and then stopped and looked back, putting down the crystal core and barking twice to signal them to follow.

"Let's go, or you'll get scolded again."

Huang Qian took a breath and teased, she always thought she was hard-hearted, but she still couldn't stand this gratifying yet sad feeling.

Everyone felt a little heavy-hearted, and all smiled bitterly after hearing this.

Jiang Nian walked at the end, Cheng Jing came over and held his hand:

"Niannian, are you okay?"

“It’s a bit sad.”

Jiang Nian told the truth, opened his palms and interlocked his fingers with his, then walked forward with his head slightly lowered.

Cheng Jing turned his head to look at him, and suddenly an idea came to him. While the people in front were not paying attention, he quickly leaned over and kissed him on the face to comfort him:

"Don't think too much about things you can't do anything about, or you'll end up wasting your time."

"Brother Jing!"

Jiang Nian looked at his teammates first and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that they didn't notice.

However, the depressed mood was indeed diverted a little.

Cheng Jing grabbed his hand tightly:

"I haven't kissed you since I left the base."

"You lied. You kissed me secretly last night..."

Jiang Nian subconsciously refuted him, but suddenly stopped halfway through his speech. Over!

"..."

Sure enough, the next second he heard the person next to him take a deep breath, bit his back teeth and asked him in a low voice:

"So, you were awake! But you pretended to be asleep and turned over and ignored me?"

Everyone was excited because they got the special crystal core, but he was worried that the man was too tired to do anything rash, so he thought he could just secretly satisfy his craving in the middle of the night. Unexpectedly!

"Sorry……"

Jiang Nian was too guilty to turn his head, he quickened his pace and walked forward without looking around.

He didn't mean to ignore them, he just didn't want to affect the overall progress of the team due to some reasons that could easily lead to social disastrous consequences.

Cheng Jing didn't bother with him here. After all, it wasn't a glorious thing to be rejected for a secret kiss. Personal feelings should be resolved privately.
