Chapter 120: An Embarrassed Gaze
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Fu Shinan and Ji Zan were unaware that at this moment, the sky had taken on an even more peculiar hue. Half of it was a fiery crimson, while the other half was as dark as ink. In the middle of these two colors, a massive whirlwind had formed, continuously extending towards the horizon.
As time passed, the blood-red hue gradually faded, and the tornado moved farther away, finally allowing the sun to set.
But just before the last shroud of darkness blanketed the land, Ji Zan finally wearily opened his eyes. He had gambled on accepting the superhuman physique from the Zombie King, and it seemed like he had made the right bet. At least he hadn’t died, even though his body had endured a powerful impact, causing him to black out for quite some time.
He swallowed the taste of blood in his mouth and attempted to sit up, but he felt a sharp pain in both his arms. The blood he had just swallowed with great effort came back up, and he couldn’t help but vomit more. He thought to himself that if he kept this up, he might turn into a human blood-spewing machine. After taking a short breath, he placed his hands on his bleeding arms, and a faint green light slowly emanated, gradually restoring his arms to their original state.
Once the pain subsided, Ji Zan finally had the strength to check on Fu Shinan’s condition.
However, he was in for a shock as soon as he looked. Fu Shinan, at this moment, had one hand resting on her head, and the other hand on her chest, looking serene. In her unconscious state, her entire demeanor had softened considerably. Unfortunately, this wasn’t a leisurely pose; she was in a deep slumber. Coupled with her torn clothing that barely covered her body, it had quite an impact on Ji Zan. He never expected that the tall and slender Fu Shinan would have such a well-endowed figure.
Cough, cough, her exquisite figure and fair skin…
Ji Zan turned his face away, slowly getting up from the rubble. He found a large bag amidst the debris, tore it open from the middle, and wrapped it around his waist, leaving the rest for Fu Shinan. It was unfortunate, but they were in such a dire situation that they had to share even a bag. He then used his healing ability to tend to Fu Shinan’s injuries.
Now that he had a moment, he finally had the chance to observe their surroundings. Based on his memories of An Town, it was highly likely that they weren’t in An Town anymore. However, without any recognizable landmarks or buildings, he couldn’t determine their location. For now, they needed to find a place to rest before considering their next steps.
Over ten minutes later, Ji Zan finally found a metal box that resembled a mobile food cart, just large enough for both of them to fit in. It was also at this moment that Fu Shinan woke up.
Gasping for breath, her voice weak, she asked, “We’re still alive… that’s good. Where are we?”
Ji Zan cleared his throat and replied, “I don’t know, but it’s definitely not An
Town.”
Fu Shinan struggled to sit up and realized that aside from a piece of torn plastic bag, there was nothing to cover herself with. She felt a moment of embarrassment but understood that this was a unique situation. She wrapped herself in the bag and then cleared her throat, trying to appear composed. “Let’s wait until morning to figure out where we are, and then we can plan how to leave. ”
Ji Zan nodded but quickly realized that tomorrow, he and Fu Shinan might have to wander around wrapped in tattered bags. A wave of embarrassment washed over him. However, leaving this place might not be easy. “How are you?” Fu Shinan asked again. “Where are you hurt?”
Seeing Fu Shinan so calm and recovering so quickly, Ji Zan felt a little awkward. He couldn’t help but cower in a corner. After all, he only had a broken bag on his lower body. Fortunately, the light in the metal room was dim, so he hoped that Fu Shinan did not see it. “It’s fine. Are you hungry?” he asked.
“I’m not hungry.” Fu Shinan felt as if her internal organs had been dislocated. Her entire body was in pain. How could she still know how to feel hungry?
After that, the two fell silent again. In the narrow space, there was only the sound of their breathing. Sometimes, they could even feel the heat of their breaths on each other.
Fu Shinan felt so embarrassed that she wanted to scratch her feet again when she thought of how naked they were.
As time passed, neither of them spoke. After an unknown period of time, Ji Zan’s snoring could be heard.
Fu Shinan finally heaved a sigh of relief. It didn’t seem so awkward after one party fell asleep. I
n the darkness, she cautiously touched her own body because she knew she had been injured. However, as she felt around, her skin still felt smooth. Could it be that the pain she experienced in the tornado was all in her imagination?
But now she couldn’t afford to dwell on it. Even if there were no visible injuries, her body was exhausted. In a daze, she seemed to have a dream. She saw her benefactor and anxiously rushed to catch up with him, wanting to get a clear look at his face. However, the moment he turned around, his face had already transformed into that of a zombie….
