In a daze, Arthur pressed her to sit at the table, and he and the knight also sat down.The two of them didn't know when they suddenly became warmer, and they chatted very happily at this time.It seems to be talking about something like "reading", but Zoe doesn't understand it very well anyway.Arthur also said that next time he planned to give the knight a new mobile phone, and the boy was very happy.

There was a lot of noise at the dinner table, and the scene in front of her was very similar to what Zoe used to feel when eating at home. It seemed very warm if one ignored the fact that the meat she was eating was once a living person.

Arthur worked hard to make her feel at home on Meteor Street...

Zooey thought of the presents Arthur brought her and her brother during the holidays, the stories she told, and Arthur's figure shrouded in sunlight the day she turned into a zombie.

Her eyes lingered on him all the time, oblivious to the other pair of green eyes that looked over from time to time.

Visitor

Since that meal, Zooey always felt that the relationship between the three seemed to be getting closer.The knight will also take the initiative to come and ask her what the book she is reading is about.Before, Zoe always vaguely felt that the knight was a little alienated and disapproved of her—this was also normal, after all, she herself felt out of place in this place.But after that, this barrier seemed to have weakened a lot, although Zoe didn't quite know why.

Arthur's work seems to be busy, and he often doesn't come back for three or four days after going out.Every time before he left, he would tell the knight to take good care of the house, and Zooey felt a little unconvinced, obviously she was the one who should take care of the knight, right?How old is the hero now?ten years old? 12 years old?After all, she was—already an adult.

Sometimes the chivalrous man does remind her of her brother Lucas who is three years younger than her.But Lucas has always put on a bad face since he was in middle school, ignoring everyone, and playing video games in his room every day.The knight is completely different, although he is young, he is very sensible, and he even thinks about many things more thoughtfully than she and Arthur.Especially on the garbage dumping day, the knights thought of a way that allowed them to harvest a lot of good things in one go.Zooey always felt that the cleverness and reliability of the chivalrous man seemed to be just some kind of appearance. For example, sometimes he would attack her, ask some sharp questions on purpose, or do some pranks.However, he is a child living in such a harsh environment after all, so it is normal to be wary.

In short, thanks to the knights, the children Arthur "adopted" can also eat. Arthur seems to appreciate the knights very much, and the two often go out for training together.

There was nothing to do during the day, and Zoe sat and read in her usual place.Since that supper, she had felt in high spirits, with a rare lucidity of mind.She was basically used to the climate and environment of Meteor Street, and her body didn't seem to rot any further.

"Why do you like reading so much?" The knight suddenly asked.

"Huh?" Zooey looked up from the book, looked at the knight, and thought for a while, "...Well, maybe it's because there is nothing else to do? There is no TV signal or Internet here..."

"the Internet?"

"Haha, the Internet can connect people through computers and mobile phones. My younger brother is very addicted to the Internet and only talks to people on the Internet every day."

"Hey~" Xia Ke sighed, his big green eyes sparkled with a touch of curiosity, "Can a mobile phone also be used? Then my mobile phone——"

"If you go to a place with a signal, it should be fine." Zooey recalled her friends, who hadn't contacted them for a long time. What would happen if they knew what happened in her home?

How is Lucas doing now...

Xia Ke saw that Zoe was lost in thought again, and his eyes drifted into the distance. He must be thinking about her family again, right?He had heard Zoe's story from Arthur. She had already killed all her family members, so what else did he want them to do?He felt a little unhappy in his heart, so he snatched the book from her hand, and finally got what he wanted, those surprised blue eyes looked at him.

""Heart of Darkness"...?" He murmured out the title of the book.

"It's a novel by Joseph Conrad." Zoe quickly calmed down after being surprised, and patiently explained to the knight, "It describes... the hearts of people corrupted by darkness on a continent. It also made a movie. If you If you are interested, I will ask Arthur to bring it back next time, and we can watch it together—”

"Have you read the book?"

"Huh? Well, I saw it a few years ago."

"People whose hearts have been corrupted by darkness~" The knight suddenly smiled mockingly and said, "Are there not many stories like this?"

The subtext seems to be "Things abound in reality, is there still a need to read books?" Zooey shook her head and gave a low laugh. She really shouldn't recommend this book to children, and next time she should ask Arthur Bring back a set of The Chronicles of Narnia.By the way, don't knights like electronic equipment very much?Maybe he'd be happy to bring some books on the subject...

At this moment, there was a knock on the door suddenly.Zooey got up to open the door, and the knight followed her.An unsuspecting person like Zoe might be plotted against at any time, the knight thought, readying the antenna in his hand.The prey must be watched carefully, although this is the prey of the elders of the East.

Standing outside the door was the man dressed as a priest who had been here before. The other party smiled slightly when he saw Zoe behind the door, and then turned his attention to the knight.

"It seems that you didn't go out today. It's great." He said, drawing a long sword from his side.

"Zoe, get out of here first." The blond boy standing at the door said coldly, uncharacteristically. Zoe looked at the two sides who were ready to go, and couldn't help but sighed inwardly.

Trouble still came.

The first move is the knight.The young man circled around the blind corner of the priest at a speed that was unattainable to the naked eye, and the opponent did not hesitate to dodge the attack with a single slide. The sword pointed at the antenna and made a "clang--" sound, and the two sides immediately opened the distance. The knight suddenly knelt down on the ground, a large patch of red oozing from his chest.

Mistake made a mistake, and the speed of the opponent was almost twice as fast as him.Sure enough, it is impossible to win a head-to-head confrontation...

"Miss Zoe, isn't it?" The priest walked slowly towards the embarrassed knight, shaking off the blood on his sword, "Miss Corleone, although I don't know why you came here—maybe it's been a month or so. Is it related to the previous massacre? But I told you that there is a demon in this young man. You must not cover it up."

"Hehe..." The knight coughed up a mouthful of blood with a smile, "Devil? How funny..."

The priest had already walked in front of the boy, looking down at him.

"The lackey of the elders of the East District, the emissary of the devil, I am here to impose sanctions on you—" He raised his sword as he said.

However, his movements stopped suddenly.

The knight showed a bright smile.

The boy opened his palm, and there was only one antenna left in his palm.

The other was firmly inserted into the back of the priest's neck.

"Thank you for talking so much." At some point, a devil-shaped mobile phone appeared in the hands of the blond boy.There is a smile in the green eyes, and the cunning light in the eyes is like a fox who has stolen a chicken. "Carrying the fate of others" - this is the ability of the knight, and anyone who is plugged into the antenna can be manipulated by the knight.

The knight stood up holding the wound, a little shaky, and he turned around weakly to talk to Zoe, but a sneer came from his ear.The knight looked back in surprise, seeing that the priest who should have been controlled was still moving freely.

"Ridiculous. Do you think I would come here unprepared after knowing that you are an ability user of the operating system?" He said softly, "The principle of the operating system is first come, first served. I have already asked my companion to seize the authority in advance .”

companion?Does he have any companions? ... What a headache.The knight thought with some confusion.

Is he going to confess here?

"... yes."

A faint voice came from behind.

"What?" The priest turned his head, and the knight also looked in the direction of the sound in surprise.I saw Zoe Corleone standing behind them helplessly, and beside her was a delirious, foaming mouth man, also dressed in a priest's costume, who was roaring like a beast.

Like...yes, like zombies.

"Have you all forgotten about me?" Zoe repeated what she said just now, and then pointed to the wound on the back of the priest's neck, "Your ability to resist infection is relatively strong...but you can only last for a minute at most Well, I'm sorry, I didn't want to—" She had just finished speaking, when the priest's expression began to twist, and the process of zombification began.Zooey looked at the priest in pain with some distress, "Ah, bad, it's faster than I thought..."

"you……"

The knight tried to open his mouth to speak, but saw Zoe hurriedly ran to him and comforted him: "Sorry, I can't touch you now, for fear of infection... just wait, hold on, I'll be right back..."

Zooey hurriedly led the two freshly baked zombies back into the house.

"Wait……"

However, before the chivalrous man finished speaking, he rolled his eyes and passed out.

sand and snow

Something is soft.

A little cool, soft.

There is also a strange smell, a sweet smell like ripe fruit about to rot, an intoxicating smell like fermented alcohol.

Xia Ke felt something cool on his forehead and felt very comfortable.In the haze, he opened his eyes, and vaguely saw the cold silver and the dazzling
