Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Fu Shinan only now noticed the man’s lower half—there were no legs left, his entire lower body was gone. Without any medication, surviving until now was a testament to incredible willpower. Although she was a doctor who had seen various injuries, she couldn’t help but feel a pang of sadness at this moment.
She started, “You…”
The man had spoken too much earlier and immediately spat out a mouthful of dark blood. It had been too long since he had spoken this much. Even if he hadn’t encountered people today, his body was already at its limit. His organs were likely beginning to decay.
Ji Zan immediately intervened, “Don’t speak for now, I can help you.”
However, as Ji Zan reached out, Fu Gui rushed forward, shielding his owner in front of him, baring its sharp teeth aggressively. It was ferocious, absolutely unwilling to let anyone harm its master.
The man tried his best to comfort the golden retriever.”Fu Gui, be good. They are good people…”
The golden retriever immediately laid its head on its owner’s hand and began to whine. Perhaps it also knew that its master did not have much time left…
The man’s lips twitched and he forced a smile. “Fu Gui is really very obedient. It’s not fierce at all. It’s just too afraid of loneliness… My wife and I had a child, but he died of illness. At that time, we happened to encounter Fu Gui. Fu Gui was very warm and comforted our hearts.ntil the disaster struck, we relied on Fu Gui to find this storage warehouse. But then, my wife was bitten by zombies on the way… And then there was an earthquake, and I lost my legs… I couldn’t take care of my wife anymore, so I had to break her neck with my own hands…” At this point, his tears fell again. “We have been together as husband and wife for more than thirty years. I never dreamed that one day, I would kill her with my own hands!”
He wiped his tears and continued, “I didn’t want Fu Gui to see this cruel scene, so I let it go out to look for food. However, it was injured by someone. That person was extremely hungry and wanted to eat Fu Gui, so he chased it all the way here. Seeing that there was someone who wanted to kill me, Fu Gui became ruthless and bit that person away. After that, I met you guys.” As he spoke, he raised his head and looked at the two of them solemnly.”Although we don’t know each other, I can feel that you won’t hurt Fu Gui. In the future…l’ll leave it to you.”
Fugui seemed to have understood something. He hugged his master desperately and whimpered. Large tears fell from his eyes.
Fu Shinan’s eyes welled up with tears. All living beings had spirits, and sometimes, pets were even more precious than humans. At this moment, she understood that this man wouldn’t make it, and his dying wish was for the well-being of Fu Gui. So, she nodded solemnly, promising, “Don’t worry, I will always take care of Fu Gui. As long as I’m alive, I won’t let it go hungry.”
The man finally smiled and, after patting Fu Gui, said, “Good child, she will be your new owner from now on. Be obedient!” With that, he swiftly pulled out a knife and slit his own throat. At this moment, he was finally free, free from the pain. He gazed in the direction of his wife; they would soon be reunited.
Fu Gui let out a mournful howl and then jumped in front of Fu Shinan, extending its paw, imploring her repeatedly.
Seeing this, Fu Shinan’s heart ached even more, and she couldn’t help but choke up. She said, “Fu Gui, be a good boy. Your male owner hasn’t died; he’s just gone to another world to reunite with your female owner. You don’t want them to be separated, right?”
Fu Gui seemed to understand and turned to embrace its male owner, sobbing.
Ji Zan stood not far away and cleared his throat, his voice low, “You take the golden retriever away first. I’ll bury them both.” As soon as he said that, a roar from outside could be heard.
“The zombies are coming. I’ll reinforce the building first,” Fu Shinan said, wasting no time and quickly using the system to strengthen it.
Although the building was continuously reinforced, the zombie attacks were relentless. It was clear that the scent of blood inside had attracted these zombies, which had allowed them to persist. If the zombies continued to gather and their numbers grew, her stamina would not be able to keep up. Thinking about this, she began to feel anxious. After all, this storage warehouse was much lower in comparison to the one in An Town, making it easy for the zombies to climb in from above. When that happened, they would face pressure from all directions.
Just then, a long and piercing scream came from outside.
Ji Zan crouched near the door, observing, and his face turned grim. “There’s really a Zombie King leading them!”
“What should we do then?” Fu Shinan felt her scalp tingle. If there was a Zombie King leading them, it would be extremely difficult to withstand with just the two of them..
