Chapter 63 - Warm Corpse 1
Chapter 63 - Warm Corpse 1
“Qin Lang?”
A voice came from the distance. There was some noise around Qin Lang, so he couldn’t really hear it.
“Qin Lang?!”
The voice was much closer, even a little deafening.
“Eh, Senior Sister?” Qin Lang reflexively sat up straight and blinked. He was not used to the scene in the new world where he was no longer lying on the bed.
“What are you being stunned for!” The girl put her hands on her hips, as if she was about to explode. “It’s your turn, come on stage quickly!”
Qin Lang rubbed the ears that were yelled at and got up from the chair. After looking around for a while, he also understood what he was going to do next.
Qin Lang stood up straight, straightened his sullen black shirt, and buttoned the top two buttons on his collar in front of the backstage vanity mirror.
“…” The girl suddenly was speechless.
Qin Lang showed a smile, “Sister, microphone?”
“Oh…” He Qing recovered from the shock of Qin Lang becoming an ascetic male god in seconds, and hurriedly handed the microphone to him, and made a gesture to her partner on stage.
“The following one, all the seniors must have been looking forward to it for a long time. Let’s warmly welcome Qin Lang from the Finance Department to bring you the song ‘He Doesn’t Understand’.” After the seniors on the stage finished speaking, the lights on the stage dimmed.
Slow music flowed out, Qin Lang took the microphone in his hand, and walked out slowly from behind the stage: “All he left for you was his shadow; he never mentioned love. Still, he hurt you till you cried your eyes dry…”
The arrogant young man changed his usual arrogance. He was quiet and gentle, his eyebrows and eyes were covered with a layer of sadness that no one could understand. People can’t help but slow down and listen to what kind of love story the somewhat melancholy boy wants to tell.
“He doesn’t understand your heart when you pretend you are alright, he doesn’t understand love and plays it like a game” Qin Lang frowned and looked at a place offstage, and then stopped looking away, “He doesn’t understand how to express love. Other than saying sorry, all he does is sigh…”
The audience, who had been quiet since Qin Lang’s appearance, suddenly had signs of commotion, but they were really reluctant to miss such a beautiful voice, so they could only choose to hold back and wait until Qin Lang finished singing to leave.
There was a man and a woman sitting in the direction Qin Lang was watching. Objectively speaking, there were actually a lot of people around them, but the audience is very sure that Qin Lang is definitely looking at these two!
The male is Ling Liang, the school grass of their K University, who has not changed positions from the first year to the third year; The woman is Tang Xiaorou, the school belle and hasn’t changed positions from the first year to the third year. Then there’s Qin Lang, who people have insisted is the best school grass candidate in the school from the first year to the third year. The trio has always been at the center of K University’s gossip.
And the three of them are veritable childhood sweethearts.
It is rumored that these two school grasses are both obsessed with school belle, and the two have been fighting since childhood, but unfortunately the school belle’s eyes are higher than the top, and doesn’t look down at either one of them.
Rumor has it that the school belle is a master at playing with men, and both of them are her guests. Today, with him and tomorrow with the other, she likes to watch two excellent men compete for her.
Rumor has it that the three of them have a very good relationship, but the school belle has only regarded them as her elder brother. So the two school grasses who had lost their love together comforted each other, and the two became a couple.
Of course, this last rumor is just the CP party’s enclosure, and no one thinks this is the truth. Because, combined with Qin Lang’s usual performance, it is impossible for him to have anything like that with Ling Liang.
Just like this song he sings now. He sang to Ling Liang’s face, he clearly saying that Ling Liang was not a good person and didn’t understand love. He was Tang Xiaorou’s right choice.
On the other hand, Ling Liang looked at Qin Lang blankly, listened blankly, and naturally snorted, fully mocking Qin Lang on the stage – “idiot”.
Qin Lang closed his eyes sadly and sang the last sentence affectionately.
The audience just regarded him as turning a blind eye to Ling Liang’s reaction.
The music hadn’t stopped yet, but Qin Lang had finished singing. He didn’t wait until it was completely over before he bent down towards the stage and quickly disappeared from the stage.
The sharp-eyed audience was keenly aware of Qin Lang’s sadness when he turned his head. Maybe he sang too emotionally, or maybe he thought of something sad through the song.
No matter what, his peach blossom eyes suddenly suppressed all the light and sadness, but it still made people’s hearts skip a beat and wanted to step forward to comfort them.
Ling Liang frowned, suppressing the sudden idea of wanting to go backstage to see Qin Lang.
What happened to him, Qin Lang was just scolding him for not understanding love, how could he think Qin Lang was really sad?
That idiot, he will be sad only when his limelight overpowers him, right?
This feeling is just an illusion. Yep, just an illusion. It can only be said that Qin Lang’s artistic cell is really good. Singing can attract people into the song easily, which makes him feel distressed.
The last few performances of the party also ended. Tang Xiaorou and Ling Liang went backstage to find Qin Lang, but He Qing told them that Qin Lang left immediately after singing.
Ling Liang frowned again and left with Tang Xiaorou.
After leaving the auditorium, Tang Xiaorou pushed up her glasses and asked, “Isn’t it Qin Lang’s birthday today? He asked us to watch his performance and left without asking us for gifts? It’s not like him, is there an emergency?”
Ling Liang glanced at the time, “I’ll go back to see him if he had gone back to the dormitory.”
Tang Xiaorou nodded and separated from Ling Liang, “Then I’ll go back first. If he asks if I have any gifts, help me tell him that I will give it to him tomorrow.”
Ling Liang nodded.
K university is very rich. When Qin Lang returned to the dormitory, he almost thought he had entered the standard room of the hotel. The double bedroom is spacious and bright, and even the door is a security door, which is simply extravagant, dumping those ordinary old wooden doors and eight people squeezed a dozen or so square meters of small dormitory for more than a dozen streets.
The first thing Qin Lang did when he returned to the dormitory was to open his cabinet, put some small fitness equipment in it, and then there was nothing left.
Count the days, there’s still a week left. Qin Lang planned what he needed to buy in his mind.
The system asked directly, “Do you want a portable space this time? I’ll take care of it for you, it’s in stock!”
Qin Lang ignored the system’s tone, wanting to praise his wit, instead he shook his head and refused, “No.”
The system was shocked “Are you sure? In this kind of world, you actually refused the portable space?! Other hosts in this kind of world are all equipped with one space for each person!”
“Um, no.” Qin Lang refused very simply, he closed it. He checked the target’s favorability to him, and then said, “I want the ability to heal myself.”
“…” The system was speechless, “Heal… That’s the heroine’s ability, why are you robbing it?”
Qin Lang couldn’t help but correct: “Twenty-five, it’s self-healing, not healing. Thank you. No matter what kind of injury I get, my body has the ability to heal itself.”
Embarrassed.
That’s right, don’t look at what seems to be a story about campus love and childhood sweethearts, this is actually a story on apocalypse zombies.
Next week, the virus will break out. The dead could still move and they will use the living as food. They will spread the virus through bites and scratches, and the world will end.
Ling Liang and Tang Xiaorou are the male and female protagonists, and Qin Lang, unfortunately, became the villain again, and he was the last boss.
The original owner and the male and female protagonists are all famous family members in K City. The three families have been friends from generation to generation, and the three of them have played since childhood.
Ling Liang and Tang Xiaorou are both cold-hearted and high-IQ people, who are calm when they encounter trouble, which highlights the original owner’s usual behavior, which has become more naive and less IQ. Most of the eyes they looked at the original owner were caring for the mentally retarded.
Ling Liang and Tang Xiaorou have not developed any feelings so far, the love between the two has gradually grown from the edge of life and death many times during the apocalypse. The original owner doesn’t really like the heroine. He has always seen Ling Liang as his opponent since he was a child, so he has to fight Ling Liang for everything, and Tang Xiaorou is just another thing he wants to win over Ling Liang.
However, his tit-for-tat is a bit difficult to describe – he eats faster than Ling Liang, and the result is indigestion that turns into abdominal distension; walking together, he always wants to surpass Ling Liang, but his legs are always shorter than Ling Liang’s. Sometimes he still has to run if he can’t walk; He didn’t grow taller than Ling Liang and cried a lot when he was a child. These all turned out to be a black history that the three families often made jokes about…
But the original owner only lost his IQ when he faced Ling Liang. His personality is generally good. Apart from his narcissistic tendency to scratch his head in front of Tang Xiaorou and pretend to be strong, he gets along very well with the people around him. He is generous and cheerful, with good looks, and in the eyes of those around him, those stupid things he did to Ling Liang also became cute and not offensive.
Obviously in Ling Liang’s eyes, it’s the same, so his favorability rating is 25, but even if he has grown up together since childhood, his favorability rating is only so much, because Ling Liang can feel that the original owner really hates him.
But now, it is the great Qin, who has a deep routine.
In Qin Lang’s eyes, who has now turned into a mosquito coil, what the original owner did was simply too basic. A typical idiot trying to attract the attention of the male protagonist. He always shows his existence all the time, he is always normal in front of others, but his personality changes suddenly in front of Ling Liang, what else could it be if it is not love?
Qin Lang explained this behavior as: I love you, but I just don’t say it. I’m waiting for you to guess it yourself, and then come after the perfect me.
He was awkward and problematic. When he was a child, he really hated Ling Liang, a child from someone else’s family. But as he got older, the older they were, the more dazzling that person was. It’s a pity that he is a novice in love and doesn’t know what is the correct way to chase him. And Ling Liang was either with Tang Xiaorou or other girls, who coveted him. Qin Lang had to pretend to be in love with Tang Xiaorou to confront him, so Ling Liang would focus on him, and pray that Ling Liang would not be with others.
Today, more than ten years after he secretly fell in love with Ling Liang, is his birthday, and the feelings that have been hidden for many years urgently need a way to vent. So, he sang ‘He Doesn’t Understand’ for Ling Liang. He doesn’t understand his feelings.
This crush may be destined to be fruitless. He knew that his behavior in front of Ling Liang was stupid, but he couldn’t change it, let alone confess to Ling Liang. Because he knew that in Ling Liang’s eyes now, he was just a fool, but if Ling Liang really knew what he was thinking, he would probably become disgusted.
He will really completely move away from him.
After listening to Qin Lang’s idea of forcibly changing the original owner’s emotional line, the system gave his knee to the great Qin again. And he also understood why Qin Lang didn’t want space but the ability to heal himself.
The original owner was just a low-IQ rival in the early stage. After the virus broke out, he fled from the school to the security base with the male and female protagonists all the way. Just when the group was about to arrive at the base safely, they encountered a wave of zombies, and the group escaped into a museum. When escaping, the original owner, the male and female protagonists were separated. So he stayed with a teammate, but the route they chose was not very friendly. The original owner abandoned his teammates and escaped by himself, only to be bitten by a zombie. He hid alone in a room in the museum and slowly turned into a zombie.
After his death, he still has a little human consciousness and he has the ability to order zombies. At the end of the story, he went all the way north and found the male and female protagonist. Maybe the resentment for Ling Liang is too deep, he still remembers Ling Liang, even if he became a zombie, he only wanted Ling Liang as his food. As a result, he became the big boss and demon king in the story.
Now, he changes this big boss into an awkward bamboo horse who has a crush on the male protagonist… If the original owner knew about it, he would spit out blood.
The system wants to give a candle to the target character first: the longest route the target character has walked is the great Qin route.
