Returning to the End of the World

First Murder (2)

Zhang Yunyi dropped the mascara in her hand on the dresser, and said in a shaky, fearful voice, “You, who are you – do you know that I’m Boss Zhang’s younger sister! You, you dare to do this to me ……”

　　

　　Shen Liu Mu curled his mouth.
His hand moved and bright red blood flowed down from Zhang Yunyi’s white neck.
Sitting in front of the mirror and seeing this scene clearly made her more afraid! What scared her most was that she couldn’t see the person who attacked her in the mirror!

　　

　”You, what do you want! I can …… all …… – give you ……” Because her neck was strangled tightly, her voice was hoarse and sounded horrible in the silent space!

　　

　”What do I want?” Shen Liu Mu’s clear voice rang out, Zhang Yunyi’s eyes widened suddenly, “You, you ……”

　　

　　Sharp thorns pierced the side of her neck, blood spurted out and flowed down her neck, soaking the white silk nightgown as she stared, wide-eyed with grievance!

　　

　　Once a person’s aorta is cut, he or she can die completely within a few minutes.

　　

　　Shen Liu Mu took a few steps back and looked expressionlessly at the softly fallen body and the large area of diffused bright red blood.

　　

　　He was almost eight years old, and this was the first time he’d ever killed anyone other than a zombie.
He had memorized the location of the artery several times before he came.

　　

　　He knows that his father taught him this for self-protection, but Shen Liu Mu knows that he is not a person who will not fight back when bullied.
He understands that he may really have a brain problem like the old Dean of the orphanage said, but what does it matter? As long as Dad does not mind, he is not afraid!

　　

　　Zhang Yunyi should feel honoured that she was the first human to die at his hands.

　　

　　Shen Liu Mu took a few steps back.
Instead of being afraid of the large bloodstains, he stayed in place as if in appreciation, even using his small leather-gloved hand to set her soft body straight, “If you hadn’t gone too far and messed with Dad, I wouldn’t have wanted to kill you!”

　　

　　”Stupid woman, I know that both Zhang Xin and Liu Lili were killed by you.” Shen Liu Mu took a snow-white handkerchief and wiped his gloves and withered vine whip carefully.
He jumped out of the pool of blood and took off the shoe covers on his feet.
“Your heart is really cruel.
You kill your own cousins.
Li Yue was ruined by those gangsters on your orders.
Wasn’t she originally your best friend?”

　　

　　”Women’s jealousy, ah, it’s really scary.” Shen Liu Mu tilted his head.
Don’t know what he was thinking, but he suddenly laughed indifferently, “However, that’s none of my business.
It’s just that a snake-hearted woman like you dared to look at my father with that kind of gaze! How dare you order dad to accompany you? You’re dreaming!”

　　

　　His voice gradually became fierce.
He didn’t look like a normal child at all.
He even had a slight smile.
The bloodstained handkerchief floated down slowly, fell into the pool of blood, and was soon soaked.

　　

　”No one can take my dad away from me, no one, he’s mine and mine alone ……”

　　

　　Shen Liu Mu hung the small whip back to his waist and walked out humming.
When he was about to go out, he saw a puppet sitting on the ground with its head tilted.
He stopped and looked at the puppet with no expression on his face, then raised his foot and crushed it!

　　

　　Outside the house, Jia Jia, with a pale complexion, ran out quickly.

　　

　　”Uncle Lin, do you eat candy?”

　　

　　The young man guarding outside the meeting room laughed, “It’s Liu Mu ah.” He took a piece of candy, quickly peeled it and put it in his mouth.
In the apocalypse, only a child like Shen Liu Mu who was relying on a good dad would get to eat such things as candy.

　　

　　”Did Uncle Lin just see someone run past here?”

　　

　”Oh, Xiao Jia just passed by, I called her, but she ignored me.
I don’t know if she is not feeling well ……”

　　

　　Shen Liu Mu’s eyes rolled and said with a grin: “Uncle Lin, don’t tell anyone that I sneaked out.
Dad doesn’t want me to run around all over the place.”

　　

　”Kid! I ate your candy, so of course, I’ll keep this secret for you!”

　　

　”Thank you, Uncle Lin!”

　　

　　At the end of the meeting, Zhang Kaiyi walked to the villa with fatigue on his face.
The more people there were, the bigger the place was, the more difficult it was to manage.
Recently, he spent all his energy on this.
But the development of his powers has been lagging behind.
He had not personally led a team to clean up the zombies for some time.
Humans still have a large amount of supplies left in the city.
Now they need some food and daily necessities, and they must go deep into the dangerous city to find them.
Recently, Shen Chi led the team.

　　

　　Pushing open the door, a bloody smell rushed straight to his nose.
Zhang Kaiyi’s heart shivered.
He quickly ran over and pushed open the door of Zhang Yunyi’s room.

　　

　　His only sister was lying in a pool of blood.
Lying straight, surrounded by a pool of blood, as if a dense net of bright red silk.
Zhang Yunyi’s beautiful long black hair was spread out, hands folded on her chest.
Her snow-white silk pyjamas were completely dyed red.
She was glued in the blood.
Her lips were pale, and a blood-stained handkerchief was covering her eyes.
Zhang Kaiyi walked over and slowly lifted the handkerchief with trembling hands.
Zhang Yunyi’s eyes were wide open and seemed to be filled with endless panic.

　　

　　Zhang Kaiyi’s pupils contracted.
Even if he had killed so many zombies, and even killed a lot of people, for a while this bloody scene made his heart jump. 

　　

　”Someone come here!” Zhang Kaiyi shouted and ran out, almost tripping over the mat at the door.
He didn’t know whether he was scared or angry, only that his chest was stuffy.

　　

　　Zhang Yunyi was not his only relative in the world, but his parents divorced a long time ago.
Zhang Kaiyi and his sister basically lived with their grandparents.
After the old couple passed away, their remarried parents did not care about them.
Therefore, the only person Zhang Kaiyi cares about in his heart was his little sister!

” ”

　　

　　Shen Chi came out holding that spoiled brat Shen Liu Mu.
Looking at Zhang Kaiyi’s frightened face, he could not help but be a little surprised.

　　

　”Damn it, whoever killed my sister, I will definitely not let him go!” Zhang Kaiyi said fiercely.

　　

　　Shen Chi smiled lightly, “When did it happen?”

　　

　”Look at the blood that hasn’t dried yet!”

　　

　　”At that time, we were in a meeting.
We all had our own people to guard here.
Outsiders could not come in easily.” Shen Chi reminded him, “The two police dogs raised by old Wang didn’t bark, but our insiders didn’t attend the meeting, which you presumably know.”

　　

　　Zhang Kaiyi’s face suddenly became incomparably ugly.
This meeting was very important.
Most of the people in Minhang had just met with him in the same room.
Shen Chi’s words make sense, but how could it be them?

　　

　　How could they betray him!

　　

　　Shen Chi smiled faintly, suddenly patted Shen Liu Mu’s head, and turned to leave.

　　

　　Zhang Kaiyi was still too naïve.
In the apocalypse, betrayal has always existed.
From the moment he took that grain and oil warehouse for himself, without telling anyone and only treating it as his personal granary, this distrust was getting worse every day.
In the apocalypse, more and more people were getting less meat.
Everyone wanted to have a back road.
Zhang Kaiyi’s back road was too eye-catching, but he himself was not aware of it.

　　

　　It seems that he needs to talk to Cheng Pei again.

　　

　　Turning around, he restrained his smile, “Boy, the smell of blood on you hasn’t dissipated yet!”

　　

　　Shen Liu Mu’s body in his arms froze for a moment.

　　

　　Shen Chi’s eyes were penetrating, and he sighed helplessly, “I never thought it was really you who did it.”

　　

　　Shen Liu Mu looked at him and thought resentfully: Dad cheated again!

　　

　　”In fact, you don’t need to get your hands dirty.
The Zhang family originally did not have a few good days of life.
Now the more complacent they are, the more tragic the end.” Shen Chi suddenly said quietly.

　　

　　He didn’t know why, but Shen Liu Mu felt that Shen Chi’s words contained something he didn’t understand, which inexplicably made his nose a little sore.
He hugged Shen Chi’s neck tightly—

　　

　”Dad, don’t be angry.
If you think it’s bad, I won’t do it.
I won’t do it again.” His eyes were red as he said, touching Shen Chi’s cheek.

　　

　　Shen Liu Mu has always known that he is a little monster.
Since childhood, no one taught him how to become “normal” in the orphanage.
No matter the stick or the purposeful warmth, he could not change the blood-thirst from the bottom of his heart.

　　

　　But if it’s for Dad, he can change it.
He can change everything!

 

The author has something to say:

Of course, Dad won’t let Liu Mu change →→ he just thinks that killing a woman like this dirties Xiao Liu Mu’s hand.

……

However, Liu Mu is originally a *BT, you know

PS, spoiler alert, Jia Jia is one of the main supporting characters, not the villain!
