Chapter 85 - Were these going to be his last words? (2)
Bei Nuan thought it over for a while. She turned her head and held the backside of the seat to talk to Du Ruo, "Maybe you won't mutate. She hadn't become a zombie yet when she scratched you. Besides, she scratched you. She didn't bite you. You might not be infected at all."
Du Ruo smiled at her from the back seat. "Those words sound nice. Hope that's true."
He knocked on Lu Xingchi's seat and seriously asked, "Do you want to tie me up? I'm worried that I'll suddenly mutate and bite you guys."
Lu Xingchi didn't even look back. "No need. Don't you know how fast I am?"
"What do you think?" Lu Xingchi looked at Jiang Fei in the rear mirror.
"There's nothing to think about," Jiang Fei nonchalantly answered, "I remembered that day when I couldn't see anything from the blood dripping down my face. I thought I was going to die. I heard an old man's voice saying to throw me out, and Du Ruo retorted that the old man was old and didn't have many days left and that he should be tossed out as well."
Bei Nuan recalled that night. Du Ruo had defended Jiang Fei from the crowd with his words and claimed himself as a thousand-year-old fairy. She couldn't help but smile.
Jiang Fei continued to say, "Lu Xingchi, if you don't want to take Du Ruo along with us, I'll get out of the jeep with him."
His words were far beyond Bei Nuan's expectations. Jiang Fei looked gentle and had a delicate handsomeness. Sometimes, he said strange things, leaving others unable to guess his mind. And yet, she saw now that he was very loyal.
Moreover, it seemed like he was deliberately at odds with Lu Xingchi. Every time it looked like Lu Xingchi was going to leave someone behind, Jiang Fei would firmly state that he would remain behind with that person.
To her surprise, Lu Xingchi also smiled. He didn't look like he was going to stop the car and kick them off.
Du Ruo thought it over and said, "You guys can find a place that has a lot of zombies and is rich in resources and leave me there. Who knows, with my intelligence, I might become the king of the zombies after I turn into one. If that happens, I'll command my army of zombies to wipe out humanity and unify the world under my rule."
Lu Xingchi was a bit speechless. "What are you saying? You haven't even become a zombie and you're already switching allegiance to them?"
"I'm just telling you guys that becoming a zombie isn't necessarily a bad thing." Du Ruo was a bit serious. "Who knows what's going to happen? The zombies might win at the last moment. We're not zombies. How would we know that life isn't happier as a zombie?"
Bei Nuan turned her head and said to Lu Xingchi, "I think he's fine. Look, he still talks so much."
Lu Xingchi very much approved of this sentiment.
Du Ruo probably thought he didn't have much time left, so he wanted to make every second count by doing what he thought was most important.
“Bei Nuan ah, I want to eat hazelnuts covered in chocolate, and those dried cranberries from last time. Are there any wasabi green peas left?"
Bei Nuan thought it was a bit strange that he didn't ask for his favorite junk foods: beef jerky and dried fish strips.
Bei Nuan took out a package of beef jerky and offered it to him. "Do you want to eat this?"
"Nope," Du Ruo refused. "I'll probably only like to eat meat in the future. I have to seize this time to eat vegetarian snacks."
