Calamity Day [Apocalypse]

"..."

Ye Mu's pupils shrank slightly.

"Very surprised?"

Ye Yiqian said, "Didn't you already guess that I was also reborn?"

"..."

After a few minutes of silence, Ye Mu said slowly: "When I was in the mall."

"That's about the same as me."

Ye Yiqian nodded slightly, "Besides, you have fire powers since you were reborn, but you never told me about it—you killed Qin Shaoling's younger brother, right?"

"Yes."

Everything was pointed out by Ye Yiqian, and Ye Mu no longer concealed it, "But at that time, I couldn't fully grasp the ability, and I was afraid that if my brother knew that I was reborn, he would not want me."

Ye Yi smiled slightly: "It turns out that what I thought was a child was actually an adult... So, you liked me in your last life?"

Ye Mu nodded.

"Does it hurt when you blew yourself up?"

"It doesn't hurt, I am willing to save my brother."

"...Ye Mu,"

Ye Yiqian sat up straight and looked straight into Ye Mu's eyes, "I'm not worth your life for it."

"Whether it's worth it or not is not up to my brother,"

Ye Mu said seriously, "It's me."

"..."

The little guy is quite stubborn.

Ye Yiqian felt a little funny, but also a little distressed.

He was silent for a few seconds, and said: "I can't respond to your feelings now, sorry."

Ye Mu lowered his eyes: "I thought about it a long time ago."

"I like you, but not the way you feel about me,"

Ye Yiqian rubbed the center of his brows, and sighed silently, "Do the math, I owe you two lives, when you want to get it back, you can tell me directly."

Ye Mu clenched his fists: "Brother——"

Ye Yiqian interrupted him: "But if I lied to you because I owe you that I also like you and am willing to be with you... Ye Mu, then I have truly failed you."

"...you don't owe me anything,"

Ye Mu lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "I owe you. You took me out of the mall twice and gave me two lives. All I did was to repay you."

It's a mess, and I can't tell it apart.

Ye Yiqian closed his eyes, his eyes were slightly tired, his black hair was drooping, and a few wisps of shadows were outlined on his pale profile.

After a long time, he laughed shortly: "You are really... a headache."

Ye Mu looked up.

"I've never liked anyone,"

Ye Yiqian said, "Give me some time, let's try."

Ye Mu grabbed his arm fiercely, locked him tightly with burning eyes.

Ye Yiqian said: "Don't have too much hope, you are too young, I really don't want...to get together with such a young person."

Not to mention the "brother" who has been raised for so many years.

Ye Mu said: "Brother said 'small', where does it mean?"

"Everywhere,"

Ye Yiqian laughed, "Let go, your strength is too great."

Hearing this, Ye Mu let go of his hand, his face was still expressionless, but his eyes were amazingly bright.

The car was quiet for a while, only the little zombie could be heard screaming, and within a few seconds, Ye Yiqian's hand was tentatively touched by Ye Mu, and the palm gently covered the back of his hand.

Ye Mu approached him and said softly: "Okay, can I kiss my brother?"

Ye Yiqian: "No."

Ye Mu let out an "oh" and lowered his eyebrows.

A few seconds later, he moved over again, without speaking, but put his arms around Ye Yiqian's waist and rested his chin on his shoulder.

finally...

This person's breath filled his nose, familiar and warm. Ye Mu sighed in his heart and closed his eyes.

Outside the car, the group of zombies had been cleaned up, and the collected crystal nuclei were unified into one piece. Not many, only one was of the third-level wood system, and most of the rest were low-level crystal nuclei.

The crystal nucleus was packed in a special box, and Xie Duyuan brought it back to Ye Yiqian.

"Ye Xian—"

The rest of Xie Duyuan's words were choked to death.

Ye Yiqian said indifferently: "Just keep the crystal nucleus well, is anyone injured?"

"...No, no."

Xie Duyuan peeled a candy and stuffed it into his mouth to suppress his shock, he shook his head repeatedly.

The little zombie yelled "Woo", reaching out to reach the box full of crystal nuclei in Xie Duyuan's hand.

"This is not for you,"

Xie Duyuan said, "Don't accidentally be absorbed by you."

Mutants can improve their own level by devouring their own kind, and at the same time, they can directly absorb the energy inside through the crystal nucleus.

Handing over the box to another space psychic for safekeeping, Xie Duyuan sat in the car, very wisely not inserting himself between the two people in the back seat, but chose a seat by the window to shrink back.

Even so, he felt a little... panicky.

what is this?

He thought tangledly.

It's better to exchange it with Zhou Rui.

-

In the evening, the convoy drove through a forest.Su Shaoshui was driven by Chu Yue's wind to circle around the mountain. After confirming that there were no traces of zombies around, the team camped on the spot and took a rest.

A bonfire was raised, and the fire illuminated a dark forest. Several tents were firmly planted on the ground, and a large pot was set up on the fire. The hot water was boiling, and all kinds of miscellaneous things were thrown into it, stewing into a pot of aroma Overflowing gooey.

For the sake of safety, the little zombie was locked in the car. It lay on the car window, looking eagerly at the fire on the other side of the camp.

Ye Yiqian held a small bowl and waved it around in front of the little zombie: "Want to eat?"

The little zombie's eyeballs followed the little bowl.

Ye Yiqian opened the car door and was handed the small bowl to the little zombie. The little zombie sniffed, still holding the bowl, but didn't intend to eat it.

The flames flickered, and there was a faint light flashing on its tattered neckline, which was noticed by Ye Yiqian.

He leaned over, pulled off the small piece of collar, and by the light of the fire, he saw clearly a series of patterns embroidered with silver thread, in which two letters were hidden——L, I

"Li... or Li?"

"Wow?"

The little zombie tilted his head for no reason.

Obviously, there is no answer from it, Ye Yiqian cut off the collar embroidered with words and patterns, and put it away.

The little zombie obediently let him take his collar, held the bowl in both hands, and shook it slowly.

A few drops of soup spilled over its battered coat.Ye Yiqian took its bowl away, and heard someone calling him from behind.

"elder brother."

Ye Mu walked up to Ye Yiqian with a bowl of hot soup in his hand.

"At night, I want to share a tent with my brother."

"Keep an inch,"

Ye Yi smiled slightly, "You think too much, little guy."

The evening breeze was cool, and the supernatural beings sitting around the bonfire somehow sang songs, and the atmosphere was lively, as if they were not supernatural beings trapped in the last days, but just a group of travelers who came here to camp.

Ye Yiqian sat not far away, turned his head, Ye Mu was looking at him quietly, with stars and fire reflected in his eyes.

"Ye Mu."

"Ah."

"The end of the world, how did it explode?"

Ye Mu said: "Why does brother want to know this?"

Ye Yiqian asked back: "Isn't this what everyone wants to know?"

"I am not sure as well,"

Ye Mu shook his head, "Maybe it was the first source of infection that gradually spread to the whole world."

"Only seven days after Calamity Day, the world fell,"

Ye Yiqian said, "If there is only one source of infection, then the zombie virus it carries must have the ability to infect a large area—if it really exists, does it have self-awareness, and does it know what it is doing? Woolen cloth?"

Ye Mu said: "If it is really conscious, it is impossible for it to have no signs for so many years."

"Who knows,"

Ye Yiqian smiled slightly, "Maybe it's hidden among human beings—not in China, but overseas."

A gust of cold wind blew, he ended the topic and got up.

"Don't think so much, go to rest early."

"Um,"

Ye Mu took the empty bowl in his hand, "I'll keep watch for my brother."

Ye Yiqian said: "No need, it will save you from sneaking in in the middle of the night."

Ye Mu was silent for a few seconds, nodded, and turned back to the campfire.

As the night deepened, there were only two watchmen left by the campfire.It was quiet for a while, save for the rustling of the wind through the woods and the crackling of the campfire.

Zhou Rui stirred the fire to make it burn hotter, and frowned as he looked at Ye Mu beside him.

The young man in black looked indifferently, and looked at him: "What?"

"...It's nothing, it's just that you think you're too——what the hell,"

Zhou Rui said, "Don't you dare to do anything because he won't be cruel to you?"

He didn't know what happened between these two people, but he could see that Ye Yiqian's attitude towards Ye Mu had changed obviously, and Ye Mu was even closer to Ye Yiqian than before.

"You are just taking advantage of Brother Ye's tolerance for you. From the very beginning, I felt that something was wrong with you, Ye Mu, if one day you do something to him, just like... Ye An, not only me, but also There are people like us—everybody is going to die and it won't make it easier for you."

Ye Mu said: "You don't need to worry about this."

Zhou Rui was aroused by his indifferent eyes: "You—"

"Shift change,"

Not far away, Xie Duyuan came out of the tent yawning, "Go back to sleep, it's our turn."

Another supernatural person came out of the tent, and there were more people, Zhou Rui stopped talking, glanced at Ye Mu, and left.

The two broke up unhappy, Xie Du made a questioning gesture to Ye Mu from a distance, Ye Mu shook his head, stood up without saying anything, but walked towards Ye Yiqian's tent.

The two broke up unhappy, Xie Du made a questioning gesture to Ye Mu from a distance, Ye Mu shook his head and said nothing, stood up and walked towards Ye Yiqian's tent.

He got into the tent without a sound, sat down beside Ye Yiqian, and held another strand of his black hair in his hands.

In the dark, Ye Mu stared at the sleeping faces of the people around him, his pair of dark eyes couldn't reflect a single ray of light.

After a while, he didn't know what he was thinking, and he was a little distracted.

【You will kill me one day】

In the silence, a faint voice from nowhere fell on his ear, and Ye Mu's hand tightened suddenly.

He stood up abruptly——at that moment, the black-haired young man's eyes were extremely sinister, like a blood-stained beast, roaring and hitting the iron cage heavily, allowing his huge and fierce body to be mutilated by the iron chains.

Ye Mu stood upright in the darkness, his chest heaved violently, and the veins on his forehead were faintly visible.

He heard his own panting and heartbeat, violent, frightening... like a monster.

Bloodshot eyes flooded Ye Mu, his body trembled uncontrollably, the iron cage was crumbling, and the giant beast in the cage roared excitedly.

Just then, he heard a soft sigh.

The boiling blood slowly solidified, Ye Mu froze, and was pulled down by someone's arm.Ye Yiqian sat up, put one arm around Ye Mu's shoulder, and patted the back of his head soothingly.

"Go to sleep."

"……Um."

The bloodshot eyes gradually dissipated, Ye Mu lowered his head deeply, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Probably because of the familiar aura surrounding him all the time, dispelling the nightmare, Ye Mu had no dreams all night and woke up later than usual.

Ye Yiqian slowly buttoned the last button of his clothes, and looked at him sideways: "Are you awake?"

"elder brother."

Just as Ye Mu sat up, Ye Yiqian picked up his coat and threw it on his head.

"Hurry up, it's too late to sleep."

The sky was bright outside the tent, and footsteps could be heard from time to time.Everyone else was awake and busily preparing breakfast, tents and other odds and ends packed up and strapped to the car, ready to go.

When Ye Yiqian and Ye Mu walked out of the tent together, they also got the attention of other people. Others only thought that they had a good relationship between brothers, but the eyes of the insiders headed by Zhou Rui and Xie Duyuan were a little complicated.

Zhou Rui didn't seem to be in a good mood, sitting by the bonfire that had been burning all night with his rough and messy hair, no matter how he looked at Ye Mu, he didn't like it.

When Ye Yiqian sat down, he came over and said, "Brother, you really have to be careful with him—I mean emotionally."

Ye Yiqian said: "I know."

"That's fine."

Hearing his tone, Zhou Rui was relieved, he brushed his hair, and went to the stream not far away to wash his face.

"Sir, three zombies were attracted by the fire last night,"

Xie Duyuan tossed a crystal nucleus up and down to play, and sat down by the campfire, "Two ordinary mutants of the second level, one of lightning type, can I keep this crystal nucleus?"

"Well, hard work."

"No hard work, no hard work,"

Xie Duyuan smiled and said, "It's not as hard as the captain."

Before Ye Yiqian could react, Ye Mu's eyes were slashed coldly.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Xie Du simply ran away neatly.

After breakfast, the bonfire was extinguished, and everyone left here to start again.

A little zombie was lying on the back seat of the off-road vehicle, curled up, and seemed to have fallen asleep.

Xie Duyuan opened the car door: "Zombies can sleep too?"

"Wow?"

The little zombie got up when he heard the sound.It looked up and saw Ye Yiqian, and just as it was about to rush over, Ye Mu, who was beside Ye Yiqian, took a step forward.

Little Zombie: "Woo!!"

Frightened, he rolled and scrambled to the front row quickly.

Xie Duyuan laughed out loud.

Ye Yiqian opened the door of the passenger seat, took off his coat and put it on the little zombie, covering its tattered top.

The little zombie blinked, and suddenly opened his small hand, and threw Ye Yiqian softly into his arms.

"Ugh..."

Its soft little face stuck to the side of Ye Yiqian's neck, rubbing against it.

A slightly cold hand clasped its arm and pulled it away forcefully, and the little zombie jumped back in shock.Ye Mu took off his coat expressionlessly, and put it on Ye Yiqian's shoulders.

"The older brother always prefers the little ones."

"Kids are cute,"

Ye Yiqian smiled, "Are you jealous?"

Ye Mu didn't speak.

"good,"

Ye Yiqian coaxed him casually, "It's just a little zombie, let's go."

The car started, drove out of the forest, and drove on the spacious road.

A few hours later, it was approaching noon, and the salty sea breeze was blowing, and City W was already in sight.

The blue-like sapphire sea sparkled with sparkling waves, and the little zombie's attention was attracted, and he lay on the car window and stared at the sea intently.

The convoy drove across the street, startling a flock of birds.The zombie virus brought by the disaster day did not have any impact on species other than humans. Plants climbed all over the high walls, and animals thrived in unmanned cities.

"Mr. Ye is back."

The gate of the base was opened, and the convoy slowly drove into the base, surrounded by several people, and began to load and unload the full load of supplies on the truck.

"Sir, there was a message from the Li family an hour ago,"

Chu Yao stepped forward, "They will be here in two days."

Ye Yiqian said: "Before Yang Jiancheng received the message that they would arrive at the branch base in three days at the latest, what's going on."

Chu Yao said: "The message said that there are people with speed abilities among them, and they took a shortcut and rushed here day and night." He paused, and then said, "The Li family looks very anxious, and their posture is in a hurry. Very low. I sent people to investigate. The current physical condition of the Li family’s head is not very good, but he has not announced it to the public, and his two sons have been fighting secretly for a long time. in a chaotic phase."

"Bang bang" came from the passenger seat, interrupting the conversation between the two of them.The little zombie patted the car window, yelling "Woooooooooooooo" as if he wanted to get out.

Chu Yao froze for a moment: "Where did this child come from?"

Ye Yiqian said, "Xie Duyuan."

"My home, my home!"

Xie Duyuan hugged the little zombie like a normal person.

"The little brat I picked up on the way, I'll go and put him down first."

"Give it to Dr. Ding and let him check whether this child is carrying the zombie virus."

"understood."

Xie Duyuan understood, slipped into the crowd with the little zombie trying to crawl out from between his arms, and ran away.

Chu Yao was a little confused, Ye Yiqian said "I'll explain later" and walked into the base.

"Ye Yiqian!"

A gust of wind blew towards her face, her long hair was tied into a neat ponytail, and the woman opened her arms, wanting to throw herself on Ye Yiqian.

Ye Yiqian stepped back half a step sideways, stabilized her arm with one hand, and kept a distance from her.

"Qin Qing."

"...I haven't seen you for so many days, what will happen if you let me hug you?"

Qin Yu said, "Anyway, I am also your fiancee, why is this so?"

Ye Yiqian said indifferently: "I have never signed a marriage contract with you."

Qin Yu smiled and brushed her hair: "It's just a step away... Hey, what you're wearing isn't your clothes."

She looked to the side and saw Ye Mu.

"Ye Mu is back too? Just right, I made a cake for your brother, do you want to come together?"

Ye Mu didn't speak, but held Ye Yiqian's hand.

Qin Yu smiled: "?"

"My brother is mine."

"Of course your brother is yours, not someone else's brother,"

Qin Hao smiled and said, "If I don't rob brother from you, do you want to eat the cake?"

Ye Yiqian smiled helplessly.

"He means that I am with him temporarily."

Qin Yu: "..."

After a few seconds of being stiff, she gasped.

"You like men?!"

With beautiful eyes wide open, Qin Yu looked at him with shock and disbelief, "You never said you like men! What's wrong with him, why do you like him and not me? Am I not as good as a man?? "

"Wait, wait! What's going on temporarily? What do you mean being together temporarily? You haven't moved yet, right? He must have confessed to you, and then you can't refuse to comfort him, right???"

Ye Yiqian: "..."

In a way, she was right.

"... No, no, my mind is too messed up,"

Qin Yu untied her hair rope, her long hair fell over her shoulders, she took a deep breath, and pressed one hand on her chest, "You, you let me slow down...too bad, I can't react well...you, you Don't talk, just leave me alone."

Muttering in her mouth, she turned around and ran away without looking at Ye Yiqian—the back was still a little pitiful and fled.

The corridor was quiet for a few seconds, Ye Yiqian put one hand on his forehead: "It's expected."

"Is there anything wrong,"

Ye Mu said, "She clearly knows that you don't like her, brother. Since she knew, she should have been prepared for such a blow."

After a pause, he said again: "If brother loves her, I can accompany you to comfort her."

"forget it,"

Ye Yi smiled and shook his head, "If you go..."

"gentlemen,"

At this time, Xie Duyuan walked over from the other side empty-handed, "Dr. Ding asked you to go there, and you are the only one looking for."

"Um,"

Ye Yiqian pulled his hand from Ye Mu's and said, "Don't cause trouble anymore."

Ye Mu: "I didn't, I just told the truth."

"To shut up."

"……Um."

-

In an isolation room separated by reinforced glass, the cleanly washed little zombies put on clean white clothes and trousers, and sat on the padded floor to play with a few first-grade crystal nuclei.

"Where did you find this little monster?"

With his black hair combed neatly behind his head, Ding Keke was wearing a white coat and clapped a document in his hand.

"I can't identify its grade, but it is indeed a mutant."

"I met on the road."

Ye Yiqian put his hand on the glass window, the little zombie saw it, grabbed the crystal nucleus and ran to the window.

Ding Keke said: "It kinda likes you, it has its own thinking."

Ye Yiqian said: "I suspect that he has something to do with the Li family."

"what?"

Ding Keke said, "How did you see it?"

Ye Yiqian gave him the fragment of the collar, Ding Keke took it over and frowned.

"It's just a li, and it can't explain anything... Wait."

He raised his head.

"Do you mean……"

Ye Yiqian said calmly, "That's what you think."
