C30 (1/2)

”Clang!”

Lee Mei trembled a few times as she lost her grip on the shovel in her hand and fell to the ground.

It was almost evening, but Wang Yi still hadn't returned. Lee Mei stayed at home, feeling extremely anxious.

She was afraid.

He was afraid that Wang Yi would never return.

She was afraid that Wang Yi would leave her here alone.

Wiping the corner of her eyes with her palms, Lee Mei bent down to pick up the shovel that had fallen on the ground and carefully washed it with water.

Lee Mei was going to cook for Wang Yi. She wanted Wang Yi to eat delicious food as soon as he came back, so Wang Yi would always remember that there was a woman waiting for him here.

”Dong, dong, dong!”

Lee Mei had just put the side dishes back in the pot when there was a knock on the door in the quiet room.

”He's back!”

”He's finally back!”

A complicated expression flashed across Lee Mei's pretty face. There was a little bit of panic, a little bit of excitement and, more importantly, a little bit of relaxation.

”Coming, coming!”

Lee Mei put down the shovel and wiped her hands on her apron. She hurriedly opened the door and forgot about what Wang Yi had told her.

”Creak ~ ~”

The door was pushed open from the inside, and before Lee Mei could see who it was, she threw herself at it with open arms.

Lee Mei couldn't care less after a whole day of being frightened. All she could think about was jumping into that person's arms and feeling the sense of security he brought.

”Aiyo!” Sister-in-law, do you miss me that much? ”

An unfamiliar man's teasing voice entered his ears.

An unfamiliar man!

Lee Mei's smile froze for a split-second. She subconsciously lowered her head to look at the man's clothes.

Pink shirt.

”That's not right!” It wasn't Wang Yi! ”Wang Yi was wearing camouflage clothes when he left!”

”Who are you!” Lee Mei suddenly remembered Wang Yi's words: don't open the door for strangers.

”Who am I? ”Haha, sister-in-law, do you still not know who I am after jumping into my arms?”

The man said in a weird tone, as he tightly held onto Lee Mei with both of his hands, preventing her from escaping his embrace.

”Let go!” These two days, Wang Yi had fed Lee Mei a few Glycosylated Meat and improved Lee Mei's physique. In terms of strength, she was not much weaker than an average man.

Lee Mei shook off the man's hands and backed off. She looked warily at the unfamiliar man in front of her.

”What? Sister-in-law, you don't know me anymore? I'm Zhang Peng, Brother Ming's friend!”

This man was the ones with Chen Jiaming. He was still wearing his pink shirt covered in black blood and holding a machete that was dripping with black blood. He looked at Lee Mei with a narrow face.

”Stop it!” ”Go in first!”

A man's voice came from behind Zhang Peng. Lee Mei turned her head and saw a man with short hair walking out of her house.

”You! ”You!” Lee Mei retreated back into the house in a fluster. She reached out her hand to grab the door, wanting to shut them out immediately.

”Ai ai ai!” Sister-in-law, why don't you let us in instead? We came here to save you regardless of the danger, yet you don't even let us in the door.

Zhang Peng was fast. He put his machete into the crack in the door and said with a weird tone.

The black stained machete almost hit Lee Mei's face. Lee Mei subconsciously took a few steps back and leaned on the sofa in the living room. Zhang Peng and the short-haired man then pushed the door open and entered.

As soon as the two entered the room, each of them began to size up the other. However, the buzz cut man was looking at the situation in the room. When he saw the several buckets of instant noodles in the living room, a strange light appeared in his eyes.

Zhang Peng, on the other hand, swept his eyes over Lee Mei the moment he entered the room, not concealing his desire at all.

”Hehe!” ”Sister-in-law, this must be your lover's home.”

With a smile on his face, Zhang Peng sat down on the sofa. A pair of shoes covered in black blood was placed on the coffee table in front of the sofa, making Lee Mei frown.

”I have nothing to do with Bro Yi. I was only saved by him after the outbreak of the apocalypse.”

Lee Mei couldn't help but wrap her arms around her chest as she looked at the two of them warily.

”Screech!” ”Even Bro Yi was called in, and yet he still said that he's not his lover. Sister-in-law, you're not right.”

As Zhang Peng said that, he threw the machete in his hand onto the tea table, then pointed at the black blood on his shirt with a naughty smile.

”Sister-in-law, look, there are man-eating monsters outside. Lee Rann and I risked our lives to save you and Brother Ming, but who would've thought that Brother Ming would be killed and you would be at your lover's house. If it wasn't for us knowing that you and your lover have the same floor, we probably would've missed the opportunity to save you.”

Zhang Peng tried to rescue Lee Mei one by one, but his tone was neither cold nor sinister. There was a hidden meaning within his words that made Lee Mei shudder in anger.

”I don't need you to save me. I'm safe right now. You can leave.” In the end, Lee Mei was just a woman. Even if she consumed a few Glycosylated Meat s, she was still helpless against two tall and strong men.
