The man's eyes were bloodshot and dark red, and the veins near his wounds were purplish-black. He was tightly bound, and his eyes were full of pleading as he looked at them.

A crowd had gathered around; those in front looked serious, while those behind were watching the spectacle unfold.

"What are you waiting for? They're all infected, why don't you throw them out already?" a rough-looking man cursed.

If they really turn into zombies later, then it will be them who die.

Others hesitated, saying, "Then just throw it away. There's nothing we can do about it. It's his own fault for not protecting himself properly."

The man's mouth was gagged, and he could only make muffled "mmm" sounds as he listened to their conversation.

Just as they were about to throw him out.

Suddenly, a faint sobbing sound came from behind me.

As soon as someone in the crowd heard this voice, they started rolling their eyes.

"Mingfei is so pitiful, can you please not throw him out? He'll be eaten by zombies."

The girl buried her face in her hands, tears streaming down her face and falling to the ground in large drops. Her nose was red from crying, as if she had been terrified.

The boos from the crowd grew louder.

"Please, Mingfei is our teammate, we can't treat him like this, how can you be so selfish!" The girl cried uncontrollably.

Mingfei, who was bound with wire on the ground, looked at her with a sorrowful expression.

The girls were also a bit annoyed by the criticism they received.

"What do you mean by selfish? This is putting the big picture first."

"Exactly, if Mingfei hadn't insisted on digging for those crystal cores, how could he have died?"

"Why did he dig up so many crystal cores?"

Seeing so many people refuting her, the female protagonist stood there helplessly.

Just then, a frivolous yet weary voice suddenly came from the corner.

"Since you're so close to him, why don't you go and take his place?"

The man leaned against the wall, his eyes filled with malice as he looked at her.

"A healing-type ability user should be able to do that, right?"

One life for another.

Ji Chaoxi choked up, her sobs abruptly stopping. She wiped away her tears, lowered her head, and remained silent.

This doesn't work.

The man sneered as he looked at Ji Chaoxi.

This big, fluttering moth is either crying or on her way to cry every day. He thinks she might as well become a water-based ability user.

Ji Chaoxi was an oddball in the building. Her crying wasn't the main thing; rather, she loved wearing little white dresses.

In the harsh conditions of the apocalypse, everyone should wear durable clothing to protect their bodies.

Ji Chaoxi walked into everyone's sight wearing a white dress, her eyes red. In Mingfei's words, she was like a little rabbit who had wandered into a forbidden area.

Pei Yufeng, who was standing nearby, mocked, "What little rabbit? More like a fluttering moth."

Her dress was fluttering back and forth.

It was because of this sentence that Ji Chaoxi and Pei Yufeng started clashing on the very first day.

The atmosphere fell silent.

The girl next to him stepped forward and said, "Yufeng, don't joke like that. Chaoxi is timid; she'll take it seriously."

Ji Chaoxi hid behind the girl in fear.

Mingfei, lying on the ground, was filled with despair. He had actually believed that Chaoxi would save him, after all, he had done so much for her.

The girl gently comforted Ji Chaoxi: "Chaoxi, let's keep Mingfei at home for the next few days, and then bury him sometime in a few days, so that he can leave with some dignity."

Ji Chaoxi nodded gratefully: "Thank you, Sister Jia Sui."

Yan Jiasui decided to use medication to let Mingfei die slowly. Although it would be painful, it would be better than being eaten by zombies outside.

Mingfei was placed in the basement, and a white sheet covered his body.

The basement reeked of rust, and water dripped from the overhead pipes, as if a death countdown was underway.

It was already late at night, and everyone in the building was asleep. Apart from the sound of dripping water, there was no other sound in the basement.

Mingfei silently awaited his death. Since entering the apocalypse, he had witnessed the deaths of too many teammates, but when he was in this position, he still felt a sense of despair.

Suddenly, a small opening appeared in the dark stairwell, and a small figure tiptoed towards the basement.

Mingfei heard the sound and was stunned for a moment.

The next second, the white cloth covering him was suddenly pulled open, and he looked at the person in front of him, feeling a surge of excitement.

Chao tide!

She came to find him!

"Mmm..."

He knew it; he knew she wouldn't give up on him...

She is the kindest girl in the world.

"Mingfei, are you in a lot of pain?" Ji Chaoxi's eyes were red.

"I feel so sorry for you, please don't make such big movements."

Mingfei looked at her with longing, tears welling up in his eyes.

Chao tide is always so kind. Even though... even though he accidentally pushed her before, her attitude towards him has never changed...

"Pfft—"

The next second, the sharp blade pierced the skull.

Mingfei's pupils contracted instantly, and his body convulsed violently due to the intense pain. He stared at her in disbelief, letting out low growls.

Ji Chaoxi carefully slipped her hand into the rotten hole. She frowned tightly, and after a while, she finally smiled.

"Found it."

She pulled her hand back, and a bright red crystal covered in sticky substance was pulled out deeply.

As the crystal detached from his body, Mingfei's body rapidly deteriorated, and he soon lost all breath.

Ji Chaoxi used her supernatural abilities to heal the wound on the back of his head, then kindly covered it with a white cloth before quietly leaving.

After Ji Chaoxi left, the iron door to the basement opened gently again.

A tall figure walked into the basement and slowly lifted the white sheet.

Mingfei was already dead, but the wound on the back of his head was still healing strangely, with the edges of the wound treated very smoothly, without any extra bone fragments.

"It was handled very cleanly."

The man used his supernatural abilities to prevent Mingfei's wounds from healing, and the gruesome state of the wounds gradually became apparent.

He was a little curious about how the fluttering moth would react when it saw Mingfei's wounds tomorrow.

Just as Ji Chaoxi was about to close the door, she was startled by Yan Jiasui behind her.

Yan Jiasui was somewhat surprised: "Chaoxi? Did you go outside?"

Ji Chaoxi nodded weakly: "Sister Jia Sui, my dress was dirty, so I went to wash it."

Yan Jiasui smiled gently at her: "Did I scare you just now?"

Yan Jiasui looked at Ji Chaoxi's red eyes and thought she had gone outside to cry again, but she was too embarrassed to tell her.

"Chaoxi, don't worry. Even if Mingfei is gone, the rest of the team will take good care of you," Yan Jiasui comforted her.

Whether she is an ordinary person or a healing-type ability user, everyone will protect her.

Ji Chaoxi's eyes reddened, and she buried her face in Yan Jiasui's shoulder.

Yan Jiasui sighed and patted her on the shoulder.
