Chapter 73 - Warm Corpse 11

“Fuck! They’re so simple!” Qin Lang scolded as he ran, “Why so many?”

“Front…” Ling Liang’s pupils shrank, grabbing Qin Lang and rolling towards the grass on the right.

There were twenty or thirty zombies chasing them out of the dormitory building, and the movement was so loud. Those on the road in the surrounding woods were also chasing Qin Lang and Ling Liang. It could be said that they were surrounded.

It was 1:03 and 45 seconds in the morning, just over three minutes had passed since the escape plan from the dormitory this time. There was no sound from the dormitory building so they must have all run away. Thinking like this, Qin Lang directly opened the music on his phone and threw it on the road outside.

This move is very risky, the moment the phone screen lights up, and the moment the music prelude starts, the zombies in the vicinity will definitely find them.

But if they do nothing, they will only be eaten by these zombies. So, despite the risk, moving fast enough, throwing it far enough, and the phone won’t break immediately will give them both a chance to survive.

Fortunately, heaven favors them. Qin Lang threw it onto the bushes in the green area across the road, and a girly song ‘Bending Eyelashes’ was sung in this quiet small area. The sweet singing successfully drew away the zombies around Qin Lang and Ling Liang.

The two looked at each other, stood up at the fastest speed, and ran all the way.

Although zombies have no emotion and thinking ability, they still have a certain biological nature. For example, when they see a running prey, they will directly filter out the sound they can hear. They will give up looking at the source of the sweet sound, and move towards the source of the prey they can see and catch.

The wind whistled in his ears, a violent heartbeat came from his chest, and there were hideous-looking zombies behind him. Qin Lang glanced at Ling Liang next to him. This man is always so good and persevering. He is better than him in everything, but he will also deliberately lose to him once or twice in the long-distance running event. He admired him because he finally won and was proud.

Bullying or something, probably Ling Liang has been very handy since he was a child. He was still the kind that looks cold but is actually full of bad tricks.

But he likes him and is willing to be bullied by him. So even at this moment of life and death, he still felt that this moment was not bad. With Ling Liang by his side, death probably wouldn’t be so scary, right?

Qin Lang was too nervous and started to think wildly. As they turned a corner ahead, they arrived at Yuanyang Lake.

Qin Lang threw his cell phone just now. At this moment, he took out Xiao Fei’s phone, set the alarm to go off in two minutes, then turned around, ran backwards, bent over and slid the phone against the ground.

Qin Lang turned around quickly, while Ling Liang pulled Qin Lang’s bag down and quickly threw it into the grass by the lake. The two gasped heavily, took off their jackets and shoes, and without hesitation or thought, they quietly slid into the water along the edge of the lake as the hoarse roar of the zombies gradually approached. Qin Lang and Ling Liang took a deep breath, both submerged in the water, swam for a while, and left the shore.

Even though the night was so dark, Qin Lang and Ling Liang still did not dare to try to stick their heads out of the water. No one knows whether these zombies can swim, or whether they are afraid of water. After all, they don’t need to breathe, and they might not lose their mobility even underwater.

So, they can’t take this risk. Even after the run, their hearts were still beating fast. The heaving of their chests and holding their breath underwater would surely make them uncomfortable, and they had to hold back for more than a minute.

They’ve been running for so long, what they need now is a breath of fresh air. But there was only the icy lake water surrounding them. This minute was really tormenting.

Qin Lang couldn’t bear it any longer. At this time, there was a clear distinction between him and Ling Liang as to who had better lung capacity.

The two were close to each other, and Ling Liang naturally noticed it. Qin Lang can’t go out, but he can’t let Qin Lang drown either!

Between the electric light and flint, Ling Liang opened his eyes. He could see clearly in the dark world underwater. He was only surprised for a moment, then quickly held Qin Lang’s face, pressed his soft lips to Qin Lang mouth.

Qin Lang suddenly opened his eyes. In the pitch-black water, he was still able to see the outline of the person, who was just a short distance away. It was heartwarming and reassuring.

The alarm rang, and there was another commotion on the shore. Yuanyang Lake gradually returned to calm, but the two were still hugging each other and their lips connected.

After a few seconds, Ling Liang released Qin Lang and brought Qin Lang to the surface.

The ticking drops of water fell into the water again, but the surroundings were still very quiet, there was no shadow of the zombies at all. Both of them opened their mouths slightly and took a deep breath. They tacitly turned their heads to one side, not looking at each other.

After a while, Qin Lang asked in a low voice, “Are they gone?”

Ling Liang gave an “um”, looked around vigilantly, and then dragged Qin Lang to swim under the corridor of Huxin Pavilion, which was connected with a corridor. They won’t be discovered at all, allowing them to take a good breath. They couldn’t venture ashore until they were completely sure it was safe to do so.

“You just…” Qin Lang tilted his head to look at the willow branches hanging into the water by the Yuanyang Lake. The night light and the shadows under the corridor perfectly covered the redness on his face, “Why did you kiss me?”

Ling Liang was taken aback for a moment. This little idiot, is that a kiss? That was obviously… Wait, it’s impossible for the little idiot to be so ignorant. This appearance of asking for him to accept his sin is more like…

“Oh, do you think I take advantage of you? Do you dare to get it back in person.” Ling Liang said it with a certain provocation tone. He look like he didn’t care much when he said it, but his heart was beating wildly, as if he had returned to when he was chased by those zombies.

“…Fuck!” Qin Lang, who lacked confidence, heartbeat didn’t calm down either. He glanced at Ling Liang secretly, and his heart sank, “Who is afraid of you! You kiss me! So I can’t just suffer!”

Qin Lang held down Ling Liang’s shoulder and pressed his mouth to his mouth, and then, just like that, he didn’t even dare to open his eyes. His whole body was stiff, his mind was blank, and his heartbeat seemed to burst out of his body.

Hooked! Ling Liang accurately got the special method of flirting with this little idiot.

The corner of Ling Liang’s mouth curved slightly. His big hand holds the back of Qin Lang’s head. He saw Qin Lang’s long, wet eyelashes trembling clearly, and his body became more stiff.

Ling Liang kept watching Qin Lang’s reaction, and then, he gradually went from passive to active. He gently crushed Qin Lang’s lips, and then gradually, held Qin Lang’s lips, sucking and licking, and finally, taking advantage of Qin Lang’s unguarded, his soft tongue easily pushed open his teeth, smoothly entered the city, and turned it upside down, along with Qin Lang’s heart. It became a puddle of mud.

In the icy lake water, the two bodies touching each other were extremely hot.

[Ding, Ling Liang—favorability level +4, current favorability level is 64.]

After a long time, Ling Liang released him. Qin Lang had to open his mouth again and take a deep breath.

“Fuck… You jerk, you…” Qin Lang’s mind was in a mess. Why did Ling Liang kiss him? The kiss was so intense too, could it be possible that Ling Liang was also interested in him? Since when though, after that night?

“I’m just celebrating our survival. It’s just a simple celebration.” Ling Liang’s expression was kind, but he licked his lips after he finished speaking.

Qin Lang: “…” He lost.

The system that has been watching: “…I give full marks to this explanation.”

Qin Lang heard the system’s voice and teased: “How is it, is your family Lingling so good at flirting?”

After three worlds, twenty-five, who were harassed by the host, have become more and more calm. At this moment he has an indifferent expression: “No, my family Zerozero never talks nonsense…” Because he usually chooses to do it directly.

Qin Lang, who seemed to hear the overtones of the system: “…” He lost again.

Qin Lang shivered as the cool autumn wind blew across the lake. Such a small movement was still captured by Ling Liang.

He embraced Qin Lang, stuck with him again, and then swam to the shore while observing their surroundings.

They should have been in the water for about four minutes. There are no zombies around at the moment, so it should be temporarily safe. The alarm would go off automatically after five minutes. They had to swim to shore and waited for the alarm to ring again.

After all, the sound of them going ashore, picking up their bags, shoes, and coats, running barefoot on the grass, and finally climbing up a tree shouldn’t be too loud.

The alarm rang. At this moment, Qin Lang and Ling Liang went ashore with their arms supporting each other. Ling Liang picked up his bag and jacket while Qin Lang carried two pairs of shoes, and ran towards the pine tree beside Yuanyang Lake.

This pine tree is a landscape tree that resembles a pine tree. But because the variety is not pure, it grows a little taller than the pine tree, and the pine needles are not too dense. It’s easy to climb up and it can shield them very well.

Of course, the disadvantages are also obvious. For example, it is really only a little taller, and the exposed tree trunk is only more than one meter high. If zombies find them and catch up, they will be easily caught.

Fortunately, the zombies all went to surround the mobile phone, and they successfully climbed the tree. The pine tree has many twigs, and the pine needles also make them itch when it falls into their clothes. Qin Lang didn’t care about the shyness of showing his belly in front of the person he liked. He stripped himself clean two or three times, and reached out to Ling Liang for clothes.

For some reason, Ling Liang’s eyesight seems to be very good. He could see Qin Lang’s white body clearly. He had never experimented in such pitch-dark conditions before, maybe his eyes may just be more naturally adaptable to the dark than ordinary people.

Qin Lang reached out and slapped Ling Liang, and said in a very low voice, “What are you looking at! It’s so dark, you can’t see it if you stare at it, hurry up, give me the clothes!”

“…” Sorry, he really can see clearly.

The two got dressed and threw the wet clothes under the tree. The tree was not far from the road. The clothes they took off were the hints Qin Lang and Ling Liang left to Xiao Fei and the others—they were in this big tree.

After putting on his clothes, his body was much warmer, but his hair was wet, and the night wind was blowing, so it was still a little cold. Seeing Qin Lang shrinking his neck and wanting to put on the hood of his coat, Ling Liang raised his hand towards Qin Lang.

Qin Lang shrank reflexively and opened his mouth: “What?”

“Don’t move.” There were two t-shirts in the bag. Ling Liang took out one and put it on Qin Lang’s head and wiped his hair for him.

Warm palms stroked Qin Lang’s hair through the thin fabric. Half of Qin Lang’s body was numb and swallowed his saliva quietly. This body is a little too sensitive, he can’t restrain himself for long.

Qin Lang waited quietly for Ling Liang to wipe his hair for him. After he finished wiping it, Ling Liang wiped his own with the half-wet t-shirt.

Qin Lang blushed suspiciously. As soon as he finished wiping his, he wiped himself. Why is there a sense of embarrassment as if they were wearing the same pair of underwear?

In order to get rid of this strange feeling, Qin Lang asked: “Hey, will they come? How long will we wait?”

Ling Liang looked at the quiet forest opposite Yuanyang Lake, but did not answer Qin Lang immediately.

After Qin Lang asked, he sighed indifferently. On the first day since the virus outbreak, the good and united classmates at first were anxious to try to save Zhang Mao. If it were now, he’s afraid that no one would lend a helping hand to Zhang Mao. There will probably be just one or two helpless voices sighing.

People’s patience and kindness are limited. At first, people in the dormitory building were sure that someone would come to rescue, and this virus would be controlled like those infectious diseases in the past, so if they can help their classmates, they will help a bunch. However, now, with the ferocity of zombies and the panic of being abandoned by the world, no one dares to risk their own lives to save others. After all, they only have one life.

There will only be more and more people like Wang Lei in these days of seeing no hope.

“Why did you decide to lure away the zombies yourself?” Ling Liang asked suddenly.

Qin Lang was stunned for a while, and replied simply: “I don’t want to see them die. Then why do you come with me?”

Ling Liang nodded, and the answer was simple: “I don’t want to see them die, nor do I want to see you die.”

Qin Lang’s eyes flickered, trying to return to the topic: “I have a certain grasp and plan not to die.”

Ling Liang replied ‘um’, “So I will accompany you to go. Then, are you still asking if they will come to us?”

Qin Lang was silent for a moment, smiled, and then asked, “How long shall we wait?”

“One minute. It’s been more than six minutes since we ran here from the dormitory. From the woods to this side, it doesn’t take so long at all. It won’t take long for them to find us. If they can’t find us, they will still go to the canteen. It’s okay to meet there.”

“Okay.”

Qin Lang stopped asking and talking. He also understood what Ling Liang meant. He and Ling Liang both did what they could. They have escaped with a certain safety and feasibility plan, it’s not for a heroic sacrifice spirit.

Then the same goes for them. Everyone is afraid of death, and everyone is selfish. They didn’t get here in time to meet them, so they might have encountered a worse situation than them, they couldn’t take care of themselves. It is also possible that they acted cautiously and carefully while ensuring their own safety, so they were slow. It is not excluded that they suddenly feel that this move is too dangerous and give up.

No matter what kind of situation it is, Qin Lang can understand and won’t complain. After all, he and Ling Liang haven’t reached a dead end yet, they can still save themselves. If they reach a dead end, maybe they will curse at everyone, including themselves, like the classmate on the sixth floor who was bitten and jumped off the building.
