C44 Past

My whole body shivered, and when I looked at Lv again, he looked like a dead mother. Although we have not known Lv for long, the troubles and tribulations that we have gone through in a month are much deeper than the casual friendship we had with Lv for dozens of years. Although he usually doesn't like to talk, he is the most reliable at critical moments. Perhaps it's because of his many years of experience in the martial arts world, but in dangerous moments he's always more composed than anyone else. I've never seen someone lose his composure like this before.

"Maybe he got bitten when he opened the door?" I thought about how he was pounced on by the Zombie just now, how he held onto the Zombie's neck and matched up with it. "What do we do now?" I asked, rubbing my head.

San Mao pondered for a moment, then smacked his lips: "Call him out first, let's ask him first, there are other people here, it might cause panic."

I looked in and saw that the three people from Ren were still hugging each other crying loudly. Dazzling Spring, Uncle Feng and Yang Yufan were also sitting together with their heads hanging down, looking gloomy and foggy. I wondered what these people would do if they went in and said that one of us had been bitten.

So I nodded towards San Mao and said, "Then I'll call him out and you find a room."

San Mao looked around, then pointed to the only opaque wooden door at the end of the corridor and said: "It's there."

I looked up. There was a nameplate on the door — General Manager's Room.

I casually made up an excuse to ask Lv to come out, but he didn't suspect anything at all. In fact, he was in a daze, as if he didn't understand what I was saying at all.

I opened the door to the general manager's room, and called Lv in. San Mao was standing at the door, and just as I closed it, he grabbed Lv by the collar and pushed him against the wall.

"Did you get f * cking bitten?" San Mao growled.

"Ah?" "What?" Lv seemed to not know what San Mao was asking, and asked in fear and astonishment.

I sighed to myself. We've seen this kind of thing a lot since the crisis broke out. Almost all of the people who were bitten tried to cover it up at first, then denied it, pretended to be wronged, and then revealed the evidence — the bite marks — and then begged … Everyone thinks they are special. They think they can't transform even if they are bitten. But we've never seen an exception.

"Stop f * cking pretending!" San Mao tore Lv's clothes, "We saw it all!"

"See what?" Lv pushed his hands away to the left and right to block San Mao's movements, and his voice suddenly grew louder: "Don't f * cking accuse people wrongly! When was I bitten? "

San Mao glanced at me, as if he was saying that the show had started again. I sighed, walked over and grabbed onto one of Lv's arms, and said gently: "Alright, Lv, just bite me, and I'll bite you. Anyways, there will be a day for everyone here, brothers, let's send you on your way first, so that you won't become a wandering ghost like that …."

Hearing my words, Lv flew into a rage, and suddenly flung my hand away and roared loudly: "F * ck your mother! I will take it off for you to see! " He took off his T-shirt a few times and threw it hard on the ground. Then he unbuckled his belt and pulled off his pants and kicked with one foot, kicking the pants away from him and spreading his arms.

"Come! Come and see! Oh yes, and here, the Zombie has bitten my butt! " As he spoke, he took off his underwear and threw it on the sofa behind him.

San Mao and I started to feel awkward, but we still carefully observed his body. Lv was about 1.7m tall, in the southern part of China, he could be considered not tall nor short. Like all of us, he hadn't shaved in months. His sparse, curly beard was a mess that covered his jaw all the way down to his neck, below the neck, bordered by the collar of his T-shirt. It was a clear line, and the skin below was dark, the dirt that had accumulated over a long period of time just washing his face without bathing. His chest heaved up and down due to his anger. His ribs were like some kind of monster's, exposing themselves bit by bit, only leaving a thin layer of skin covering them. From the ribs, his belly tightened at a terrifying angle, and he looked weak. His penis, whether out of anger or fear, shrank into a ball, making it look like a joke on his scrawny legs. Its body exuded an unpleasant odor that caused people to feel disgusted, but there were no bite marks! We looked back and forth a few times, but we didn't!

"Fucking clear?" Lv opened his arms wide, looking like Da Vinci's famous painting "The Vitruvians". He shouted angrily at us, "Really? Have you been bitten? "

"Alright, alright!" San Mao laughed awkwardly: "We are just in case! "Who told you to be so weird today."

I picked up Lv's clothes from the ground and gave it to him. "That's right, there's something wrong with you today.

He didn't expect Lv to cry like a child upon hearing his words. He didn't even pick up my clothes, and started to cry while covering his face.

I have never seen a man cry so bitterly before. San Mao and I looked at each other, not knowing what to do, and could only look at him in a daze.

Fortunately, after Lv cried for a while, he stood up and said while wiping away his tears, "Outside … "My wife is outside …"

I suddenly understood.

Speaking of the most cruel thing that happened since the outbreak of the Zombie, it was merely witnessing his loved ones becoming Zombie. To put it simply, the most distant distance in the world is not between life and death, but when I am still alive and you have become a Zombie. More than once, I secretly rejoiced that my parents left early, allowing me to avoid this cruel situation.

"She and I both came from the mountains of Guizhou …" Lv put on her underwear and choked with sobs: "Our junior high school is good, at that time our family was poor, both families were poor, but her family despised me, they said that I couldn't afford a gift, they said that I couldn't afford it, so when her father wanted to marry her out of the mountain, we ran away, came out to work, started in Dongguan, made shoes, the owner said that we don't have identity, if we caught her we were still working, we would just give her a little bit of money, but we were very happy, at last we have a place to live, and can eat our fill …"

San Mao couldn't help but sob as he said this. San Mao patted him on his back for a while, and then he recovered and continued, "Later on, we had an ID card, we changed jobs, but we were always together, and our wages slowly rose. Her father also agreed to it, and after we arranged a marriage at our hometown, our days were finally going to get better.

"In the beginning, she was just messing with the village boy, but as time went on, she lost more and more. A month's worth of wages was not enough to pay her gambling debts, so she started arguing with me. I found her annoying and started hitting her. The child was not saved... But I still didn't know to stop, and I spent so much money, and in the end, the two of us didn't even have enough for a few days, and the boss chased us out, and the villagers all knew that I was like this, and none of the factories wanted us, and in the end, I told her, you're beautiful, and there are so many nightclubs in Dongguan, so go sell them! "

As Lv spoke till here, he once again lost control of his emotions, and started to wail and cry. At the same time, he stuttered, "She's very silly, he really listens to me going out to sell … She's not like other ladies who would buy a cell phone or a bag for themselves if they had some money. She has a penny in his hand, but I … Wu wu wu … Not only did I spend her money, I hit her and say she was dirty... Woo woo … * "She, this foolish woman, really thinks that he's dirty and that he's in the wrong. He just lets me beat his up and scold her without ever thinking of leaving me …"

"Until one day, when I was caught red-handed and someone beat me half to death and came back to my place, she hugged me and cried, and I cried too, and I said why are we all human, and why are we all born to be beaten, to be prostitutes, to be so cheap and defiled? She said we didn't want to do it anymore. She had saved up more than a hundred thousand yuan. Let's go home and open a store together … "I said …"

"But the next day, I stole her bank card, took all of her savings, and also took her cell phone, her jewelry … Afterwards, I found out that it was all fake and worthless, so I threw it all away … I ran away by myself. In less than a month, I had already spent over a hundred thousand gold coins. I was too embarrassed to go back, so I started to scam again.

"Later on, she came to visit me in the prison, but I didn't see her. From then on, I knew that I wouldn't be able to recover, and following me would only harm her for the rest of her life. I wrote to her that she was a chicken and told her not to come back. I asked for a divorce in prison and she agreed immediately. "I met some people in prison and learned how to be a real thief. After I was released from prison, I wandered around everywhere, and I didn't even go back to my hometown. I never heard anything about her, but I didn't expect …"

Lv started crying again. After taking a few deep breaths, he said, "I never thought that the next time I saw her was actually here …"
