Chapter 13
The distance between Lu Jia's hand and the fridge was only as wide as a hand's width, and even the fingertip of her left middle finger had touched the fridge.
"Roar~"
A zombie, coming from the side, lunged at her, aiming for her hand.
Lu Jia had no choice but to quickly pull back her hand, watching helplessly as the fridge moved further away. The zombie fell to the ground with empty hands, and during this time, three more zombies appeared behind Lu Jia.
One of the zombies almost grabbed Lu Jia's arm. Even Lu Jia wasn't sure how she managed to avoid it, but she jumped to the side, dodging the attack. Then, she swung her sword backhandedly and hit the zombie's head, causing it to fall to the ground.
Seizing this opportunity, she quickly reacted and struck the head of the zombie that had missed earlier, giving it a rest.
The number of zombies surrounding her gradually increased, but Lu Jia kept striking them one by one. In the distance, a song played from the mp3, "I didn't come to be a hero, I came to beat you."
If Lu Jia heard the music at this moment, she would probably be so angry that she would vomit blood.
Although Lu Jia didn't know where her strength and agility came from, she miraculously survived the zombie siege until Su Mo appeared like a goddess.
Su Mo held two zombie heads and made them collide with each other, causing them to lose consciousness.
Afterwards, Lu Jia didn't even see what Su Mo did. One by one, the zombies around her fell down, and then Su Mo herself fell down.
Roar~
There were still a large number of zombies rushing towards them from behind.
Lu Jia didn't care how much brain matter was on Su Mo's body. She had to carry this person and run forward.
Fortunately, the place she was currently in was not far from her dormitory.
Lu Jia looked through the balcony and saw the large group of zombies surrounding the freezer below the balcony. She took a deep breath, the music had stopped by now and the zombies below the balcony were gradually dispersing. Once they dispersed enough, Lu Jia would probably be able to secretly retrieve things from the refrigerator.
Thinking of this, she turned around, slid down the balcony with her back, until her buttocks touched the ground. Her face was a little pale, and her current condition was not much better than the dead zombies.
As for Su Mo, at this moment, she was lying obediently on the bed, still sleeping.
After a short break and adjustment, Lu Jia's face gradually regained color and she reflected on all that she had experienced. She turned her hands over and was surprised that she could carry someone on her back and climb up four floors. She wondered if she had been too easy when she chopped off the zombies' heads. When did she become so strong?
When Su Mo woke up again from her bed, Lu Jia had already moved almost everything into the dormitory.
Su Mo stared at her for a long time and then rushed towards her, lifting her up and spinning around. Lu Jia was scared and when she was put back down, she fell to the ground, feeling nauseous and wanting to vomit.
Su Mo looked at the food lying on the ground and slowly reached out her hand. She wanted to do something but didn't know what, so she ended up pulling her hand back.
Lu Jia finally overcame her nausea and stood up again. But when Su Mo looked at her, she instinctively took a step back.
Lu Jia looked at her and had some thoughts in her mind. She asked Su Mo if she cared about her.
But Su Mo didn't understand and just looked at her with her head tilted.
So without hesitation, Lu Jia placed her hand gently on the zombie's back and stroked it lightly, explaining that this is how you comfort someone if you're worried about them in the future.
Feeling her touch, Su Mo had the same scene in her mind, but instead of food, it was her doing the same action to the food.
Lu Jia didn't know what Su Mo was thinking, or if Su Mo could understand what she was saying. She just said everything she felt like saying. To Lu Jia, Su Mo didn't seem like a zombie, but more like a child who didn't understand anything.
She reached out and took Su Mo's hand, pointing to the frozen meat beneath her. She told Su Mo to wait, that there would be something to eat soon.
Su Mo followed her pointing finger, maybe she smelled something, because she drooled from her mouth. Lu Jia quickly grabbed a tissue to wipe it clean for her.
While wiping her mouth, Lu Jia wondered if it was just her imagination, but she felt like the damaged part of Su Mo's face looked a bit smaller.
Maybe it was just her imagination. Lu Jia thought this and then looked at Su Mo's leg, which appeared to have less swelling.
Was this also just her imagination?
Lu Jia felt unsure.
But Su Mo must have been too hungry and, with Lu Jia being absent-minded, it gave her the chance to casually pick up a piece of frozen meat and bite into it, hitting her teeth.
That loud crunch sound even snapped Lu Jia out of her absent-mindedness.
Su Mo opened her mouth wide, and Lu Jia leaned closer to take a look. Thankfully, she didn't chip her teeth.
Lu Jia observed Su Mo. Although Su Mo was a zombie and lacked common sense, she was very cute. This caused Lu Jia to burst out laughing but quickly covered her mouth, afraid of attracting other zombies outside.
Seeing the restless zombie, she had to comfort Su Mo and tell her not to worry. She needed to wait for the meat to thaw.
Although Su Mo didn't understand what was happening, she obediently stood and stared at the meat in the bowl, as if afraid someone would take it away from her.
Meanwhile, Lu Jia started gathering the spoils. She could eat these things for a few days, but the meat wouldn't last long without a refrigerator. However, she soon wouldn't have to worry about that issue.
Because Su Mo looked like she could finish a whole piece of meat in no time.
Su Mo, while eating meat, was adorable like a little puppy. Whenever Lu Jia got up, she thought Lu Jia was going to snatch something. She quickly turned her back, which Lu Jia found cute. She really wanted everyone to see how the "cool goddess" looks now (not really). She didn't want anyone to see Su Mo like this.
But adorable or not, why was Su Mo only gnawing on raw meat?
Lu Jia usually preferred fully cooked food. It was somewhat hard to accept seeing this scene.
She knew that she couldn't see Su Mo in the way normal people do, so she resisted asking if she was afraid of parasites.
Watching Su Mo eat the meat completely and licking her lips, she couldn't help feeling nauseous, but she managed to hold it back. However, who would have known that after finishing her meal, Su Mo would jump onto her and lick her face, as if expressing happiness.
So, overwhelmed by the dual impact of eating raw meat and licking her own face with the same mouth and tongue, the person who was shocked had to rush to the bathroom and vomit.
Hearing the sound from the bathroom, our Su Mo turned her head and stared, completely unaware of what was happening.
She obediently waited outside, ready to embrace Lu Jia as soon as she came out, but she was stopped by Lu Jia's outstretched hand.
Lu Jia said to Su Mo to calm down and not come closer.
This time, Su Mo seemed to understand. Food didn't like her anymore, so she pouted her mouth and looked at Lu Jia with lifeless eyes, emitting a pitiful aura.
Lu Jia, surrounded by this emotional atmosphere, couldn't bear it anymore and finally said, "Let me brush your teeth for you."
Su Mo didn't know what brushing teeth was, but she obediently followed Lu Jia outside (to the balcony, actually). Lu Jia always bought extra toothbrushes for timely replacement, so he happened to have one for Su Mo.
Lu Jia put toothpaste on the toothbrush from front to back, and then handed it to Su Mo.
Su Mo didn't take it with her hand, she leaned forward and sniffed the toothbrush. Then she quickly turned around and furrowed her brow slightly.
Lu Jia couldn't help feeling surprised. Was Su Mo disgusted? It was the same as when she gave her an apple before, with the same actions and expression.
"Don't be afraid, I'll teach you."
Lu Jia said as she squeezed toothpaste onto her own toothbrush and wet it with water. At this moment, the little cutie, listening to her words, looked back at Lu Jia again.
"Watch carefully," Lu Jia opened her mouth but her teeth were tightly closed. Then she handed the toothbrush into her mouth and started brushing her teeth along her teeth. Soon, a white substance appeared in her mouth.
Su Mo looked at it, not knowing what it was, but it seemed impressive.
This time, when Lu Jia handed the toothbrush to Su Mo again, Su Mo still didn't reach out her hand, but she opened her mouth and closed her teeth.
Lu Jia looked at her and reluctantly stretched out the toothbrush in her hand. No matter what, she had to continue brushing her teeth properly.
"Oh, you don't need to eat this."
Just as she finished speaking, the thing on the toothbrush was swallowed by the person next to her.
"Um..."
Su Mo looked very uncomfortable, it seemed that she was greatly disturbed by this toothpaste.
"Hmm..."
Lu Jia couldn't help but laugh, even though it was the end of the world, at this moment, it didn't seem like they were in the end of the world anymore.
Finally, brushing their teeth ended smoothly, although Su Mo swallowed water and spit it out afterwards, the result was perfect.
Since they had brushed their teeth, Lu Jia started noticing everything that wasn't right with Su Mo. This blood-stained clothes, luckily Su Mo was a zombie, otherwise how could she bear it? So Lu Jia made a big decision, she decided to give Su Mo a bath.
This was bound to be another commotion, until Su Mo calmed down. Fortunately, the electricity hadn't been cut off yet, so there was still hot water.
And as for Su Mo, she might have turned into a zombie. She doesn't feel any pain, but her skin seems fragile. When the water started boiling, it caused Su Mo's skin to almost peel off. Lu Jia quickly turned off the hot water and used cold water instead.
Maybe because Su Mo just recently turned into a zombie, her skin doesn't look as dry as the other zombies outside. It's still fair and shows traces of her previous human self. We just have to be gentle when wiping it.
During this process, Lu Jia accidentally wiped off a piece of skin from Su Mo's shoulder, which made her feel like throwing up again. But something strange happened. Su Mo's skin quickly healed, which reminded Lu Jia of when she licked his hand before, and it also healed instantly.
This made Lu Jia realize that Su Mo is not an ordinary zombie. She seems to have the ability to heal her skin and even treat injuries.
