This Wave of Zombies is No Good - Chapter 46

By nightfall, the old lady had prepared bedding for the two men and placed it on the small bed. This bed was just over a meter wide, a single bed that seemed to have been used by the landlord’s child in the past. It was obviously too small for two grown men to sleep on.

However, Zou Lang didn’t mind at all. His anticipation was clearly written all over his face.

By nine o’clock in the evening, the old lady, yawning, went to bed. Only Zou Lang and Yu Jingtang were left in the room.

Yu Jingtang took a shower. When he came back and looked at the environment, he said, “This place is too small, I’d better go out and sleep.”

Zou Lang pulled Yu Jingtang, wrapping his arms around his waist from behind. “Instructor, Instructor, you can’t say things that aren’t true, deceiving our mom.”

“I didn’t…” Yu Jingtang had just said two words when he was directly thrown onto the bed by Zou Lang’s arm, and then Zou Lang climbed up and pressed down on him.

Yu Jingtang laid on his back, looking at the light and desire in Zou Lang’s eyes. The latter bent down and rubbed against his neck, smelling his good smell, sticking to Yu Jingtang’s ear and whispered, “Instructor, I was concerned about your health in the past…”

Yu Jingtang leaned against Zou Lang, feeling that he was as hot as a ball of fire, and was being teased by him. However, he had to endure not to make a sound, and whispered angrily, “Scram! My mom is in the next room. The sound insulation here is not good.”

Zou Lang’s other hand became more and more unruly, reaching into Yu Jingtang’s clothes from the bottom, touching his skin, and then lowering his head to bite gently on his collarbone. “It’s because your mom is in the next room, you want to scream out but can’t, just thinking about it, it’s quite exciting.”

A flicker of panic passed through Yu Jingtang’s eyes. If this were outside or anywhere else, he wouldn’t be afraid at all. But now, with his mother next door, he was terrified. He pushed Zou Lang hard, “No! My mom doesn’t know!”

Zou Lang laughed and pointed out directly, “Come on, what are you pretending for? Your mom has been there, done that. She figured it out before we even finished half of our meal. She’s just worried about your thin face.”

Yu Jingtang didn’t expect this. For a moment, he was afraid that Zou Lang was tricking him. He gritted his teeth and said, “In any case, no messing around, absolutely no messing around. Don’t forget, I still have one rule left from our three rule agreement.”

Zou Lang felt a bit guilty for bullying Yu Jingtang at his home, but the more Yu Jingtang was afraid, the more Zou Lang enjoyed it. He began to undress Yu Jingtang, saying, “You don’t know your mother well. Where is your personality like hers? Your ancestors are gossipy and cunning. Even if the sky falls here, she won’t come over to see.”

Yu Jingtang didn’t want to let him get his way easily. Zou Lang pressed him hard, and he also tried hard to block.

So the sky didn’t fall, but with a crack, the bed collapsed.

Fortunately, the bed wasn’t high and it collapsed flatly. Yu Jingtang only felt a sudden fall, and Zou Lang was still pressing on him.

The two landed safely, but they were both startled.

The next second, Yu Jingtang’s face turned red because of this accident. Zou Lang was lying on him, laughing so hard that he couldn’t catch his breath.

This commotion finally woke up the old lady next door. There was a coughing sound from next door.

Zou Lang shouted, “Auntie, the bed is not very sturdy. We’d better sleep on the floor.”

After this farce, Zou Lang saw that Yu Jingtang was really a bit angry. He dared not talk about playing anymore, and honestly hugged Yu Jingtang and slept all night.

The next day, when Yu Jingtang got up in the morning to brush his teeth, he looked in the mirror and found that at some point, Zou Lang had gnawed two strawberries on his neck. He immediately changed into a stand-up collar shirt.

The old lady got up early and had already prepared breakfast for them. She was going to the hospital for an infusion, and she had to have dialysis in the afternoon. She said to the two of them, “You two rarely come here. Although it’s the end of the world now and there’s nothing fun, young people should still go out and stroll around.”

Before Yu Jingtang could speak, Zou Lang said, “Auntie, what are you talking about? Didn’t we come back just to see you? Where is the reason for you to drive us away? We can’t help you normally. You don’t know how guilty Yu Jingtang is. He often mentions it to me. It’s hard to come here, so let us accompany you more.”

Yu Jingtang was usually reticent, but Zou Lang knew how important his mother was in his life. She was the person he most wanted to see when he was dying, the most important person in his twenty years of life, and the person he couldn’t let go of, especially now that his mother was seriously ill. He knew that Yu Jingtang wanted to be with his mother as much as possible, even if it was just a minute or a second more.

Yu Jingtang was not good at expressing himself. At this time, Zou Lang was by his side, saying what he thought and wanted to say. He didn’t add anything else, but went straight to the door and picked up his mother’s bag at the door.

He didn’t care about being confined in the hospital corridor, as long as he was by his mother’s side, that was enough.

The advantage of Zou Lang was that, no matter how out of tune or unreliable he was usually, he never failed at critical moments.

When he got to the hospital, Yu Jingtang accompanied his mother, while he ran up and down to pay fees, get medicine, buy water, cook rice, etc. During the infusion, he also accompanied and teased for fun.

After a round of tossing, the little nurses all thought he was the patient’s family. They all praised the old lady for having a filial son.

Seeing Zou Lang accompanying his old lady happily, Yu Jingtang was full of comfort, and also talked to his mother about some things in the barracks, most of which were good news and not bad news.

The three-day family visit leave sounded long, but in fact, after deducting the time to go and return, there was less than two days.

After lunch on the last day, the old lady gave them a thousand exhortations, and also brought them some pickles she had pickled.

In this post-apocalyptic world, everyone was on edge, not knowing when they would see each other again. Yu Jingtang hugged his mother, his eyes reddening.

Seeing that it was about time, Zou Lang didn’t rush him, but stood quietly to one side, watching the mother and son say their goodbyes.

The old lady gave a few more words of advice, patted Yu Jingtang on the back, and let go of her son. She turned around and handed an umbrella to Zou Lang, saying, “The weather doesn’t look good, take this. I’m quite happy that you guys came back this time, I gained another son. Take good care of him, and take good care of yourself.”

Zou Lang nodded, no longer avoiding the topic, and said, “Mom, don’t worry, we’ll come to see you next time.”

After he finished speaking, he didn’t care whether Yu Jingtang’s face was red or not, he picked up the umbrella with one hand and took Yu Jingtang’s hand with the other and left.

By the time the two of them arrived at the station, it was already two in the afternoon. The bus to B City was strangely late today, it just didn’t come. Zou Lang and Yu Jingtang waited with their tickets until almost four o’clock before a bus finally arrived.

Zou Lang couldn’t help it anymore, he pushed through the crowd and asked the ticket checker, “What’s the situation today? We’re soldiers, we’re rushing back to report.”

When he said this, he really just wanted to ask about the situation. He didn’t expect to be caught by a burly man with a gold chain behind him.

“Hey, what are you soldiers pushing for? Don’t think you should be the first to get on!”

The fat man’s words led the crowd to think that Zou Lang was trying to take advantage.

A man holding a baby echoed from behind, “We’re all in a hurry, our bus should have arrived a long time ago! We want fairness and justice now!”

Zou Lang wanted to explain that these people had misunderstood, but as soon as he tried to explain, Yu Jingtang pulled him back, fearing that if he said too much, it would only make things worse. He said, “Forget it, don’t cause trouble.”

Zou Lang didn’t say anything more. A girl who looked like a student, wearing glasses, pursed her lips and quietly defended Zou Lang, “At this time, showing off your power. If you all encounter zombies, won’t you all have to rely on the soldiers?”

Zou Lang heard her and thanked the girl. The girl didn’t expect Zou Lang to hear her muttered complaints, and she was a bit embarrassed.

The crowd was crowding at the ticket door, and the driver got off the bus and said to the crowd, “Don’t worry, everyone can go. Today’s bus to B City has broken down, so two buses have to be combined into one. If you’re in a hurry, follow to my bus. If you want to wait for a seat, wait for the next bus, but it may not be able to leave today. For those who want to get on the bus, men should show some spirit, stand up, and give the seats to the elderly, women, and children. If everyone agrees, we can leave now.”

The crowd was noisy for a while, and soon reached a consensus. Most people decided to follow the bus, and a small number of people who were not in a hurry decided to refund their tickets and leave tomorrow.

The driver then led the crowd onto the bus.

Yu Jingtang and Zou Lang walked behind. As people got on the bus, the men voluntarily gave up their seats to the elderly and children. They stood in the aisle.

When the female student got on the bus, a man holding a child took the second to last seat. There was one empty seat left, and the fat man with the gold chain sat down.

Zou Lang couldn’t stand it anymore, “Hey, can’t you understand human language? The elderly, women, and children are sitting, if you want to be a man, stand up.”

The fat man sat there, with no intention of standing up. He leaned back casually, “I’ve been injured, my leg is not good.”

His words were obviously made up on the spot, he was talking nonsense. Just now outside, he was walking briskly all over the place, there was no sign that his legs were not good.

The female student was a bit embarrassed, adjusted her glasses, and pulled Zou Lang, “Forget it, forget it, I’m still young, isn’t it just standing for a while?”

An old lady on the side also tried to mediate, “Don’t quarrel, it’s a special time now. Everyone who is out should be patient. If it gets any later, it will be dark and we won’t be able to reach B City.”

Zou Lang couldn’t hold back his anger, he weighed the umbrella in his hand, and suddenly made a quick move to hit the man’s leg twice. These two hits were accurate, fast, and ruthless.

The fat man was hit on the nerve, and he jumped up all at once, clutching his leg and yelling.

Zou Lang chuckled, “Look, your legs are quite nimble.”

The fat man was there wailing, “This soldier hit someone! This soldier hit someone!”

The people’s eyes were not blind, and no one came out to help. Instead, there was a cheer.

The driver also shouted, “If you don’t want to take the bus, get off! No refund for the ticket!”

Only then did the fat man curse and push through the crowd, standing on the other side.

Zou Lang pointed to the empty seat and said to the girl, “Since someone has given up their seat, you don’t need to be polite.”

The female student looked at the seat and finally sat down with some embarrassment.

Yu Jingtang watched Zou Lang make a scene, and sighed, “Cause less trouble.”

Zou Lang turned his head to look at Yu Jingtang, and whispered with a mischievous smile, “Still, Instructor, you have a good temper.”
