Chapter 42: Chapter 039: The Miserable Beginning of He Mingxuan’s Saber Slicing Fish Early morning. He Mingxuan, also known as Autum Blade Fish Cutter, woke up groggily, breathed on his palm, took a sniff, and felt it was okay. Without brushing his teeth or washing his face, he just stood in front of the toilet, looking down at his big belly, habitually supporting his "little worm" as he peed. Big in size, low urine sound, short in duration, he finished quickly. He went out to the balcony and looked towards the second floor opposite, where the same beauty was watching him, still showing him vegetables, making Mingxuan salivate. It was not the beauty that triggered his impulse. But because he hadn’t eaten for several days, he just thought about eating some delicious vegetables, meat would be best. The beauty was holding up her impressive chest. Thinking it might create a stimulating visual effect for Mingxuan. But Mingxuan was only interested in the food. "I can’t just sit here and wait for death, I must leave this place and get to the other side where there is food, something to eat, something that will sustain me for a long time." Mingxuan kept brainwashing himself. Thinking of mustering up the courage. To rush out of here and make it to the other side. The apocalypse had descended, zombies roamed, there was no hope, no future, if zombies could have been eliminated, they would have been long gone by now, not waiting until this moment. He observed the movement downstairs. Wanting to see where the zombies were, perhaps it was good luck that he saw none. He hesitated in his heart. "Should I really take the risk?" He Mingxuan knew the situation well, only by running out and getting to the second floor opposite could he hope to go on living, and his physical strength was still in good shape right now, he could run, move, swing and chop. If he continued to endure without food for a few more days, he would become weaker and weaker, by then, even if he wanted to run, he wouldn’t have the capability. To take the risk or not? He kept asking himself. "If I manage to reach the second floor opposite, I’ll have food, and there will also be a beauty." Maybe the thought of a bright future. Mingxuan went to the kitchen, took a kitchen knife directly, preparing to take the risk. As he left, he checked the surroundings again, still seeing no zombies he took heart, peering outside through the peephole to ensure safety, carefully opened the security door, inhaled deeply and descended the stairs slowly. He dared not close the door. If he encountered zombies, he could still have the chance to run back, to enter the house at the first moment, to shut the door at the first opportunity. The staircase, which used to take only a minute. He felt as if he had walked for a century. He stealthily glanced around, the ground was covered with blood, so many bodies, he vaguely remembered how horrific the scene was when the apocalypse had just started. Everyone was running. Many were knocked down by zombies, who bit them savagely. The sight made his heart tremble with fear. Feeling like the end of the world had arrived. Hiding at the staircase entrance for half a minute, Mingxuan tiptoed out, breathing in fresh air, the feeling of reaching downstairs invigorated his entire being. Not daring to make any noise. And kept watching the dark corners now and then, afraid of zombies rushing out, his hand holding the kitchen knife was very tense, he was sweating despite not swinging or using force. Just around the corner was the path leading to the building opposite. "No zombies, no zombies," Mingxuan prayed in his heart. Hugging the wall corner, he slowly stuck out half his head to check the outside, and exhaled in relief at the empty community road, not a single zombie in sight. The short distance, because of the presence of zombies, was true torture for Mingxuan. "No zombies in the community, it’s very likely that noise from outside has drawn them away, after all, so many days have passed, zombies need to replenish their food too," Mingxuan rationalized the possibility. He couldn’t help but relax a bit. Of course, this was a mental relaxation, not a relaxation of his alertness. "Damn, if I had known there weren’t so many zombies, I would have come out earlier, not waited until now." Mingxuan quickened his pace, the second floor, just reaching the second floor would be safe. There was food there. And the beauty who always tempted him. Thinking of having food in the apocalypse, and a beauty by his side, his heart leaped with excitement, it was damn thrilling, even the "little worm" trembled a few times, manifesting its excitement. Just at that moment. "Roar!" A deep growl. The sound came from behind. Mingxuan turned around nervously, and saw a zombie staggering out from around the corner, appearing dull and stiff in movement. The moment it saw him. The zombie’s eyes lit up, it roared excitedly and charged at him quickly. "Shit..." Mingxuan ran for his life, his overweight body not allowing him to run fast, but fortunately, he was far enough away from the zombie that he was confident he could make it to the second floor before the zombie could catch up. These were the kind of zombies he feared most. Strong, fast, with sharp hearing. It would be a dead end should one encounter it. With the outbreak of the zombies’ growling, the surrounding zombies seemed to understand and ran out from all directions, chasing after He Mingxuan. He Mingxuan, running for his life, dared not stop. All he hoped was that the woman wouldn’t play him. If she didn’t open the door, he truly would be facing a dead end. Bursting into the stairwell, He Mingxuan, who had never felt he could run so fast, took the stairs two at a time, and in the blink of an eye, he had already rushed to the second floor. He saw hope. That door was open. The woman was also standing at the door, waiting for him. Hope surged to his heart, the excitement causing his flabby body to tremble. Bang! He successfully rushed into the room. The woman hurriedly closed the door. A moment later, the sound of zombies’ footsteps could be heard outside, but since the zombies didn’t see He Mingxuan enter that room, they could only continue wandering. He Mingxuan was just about to speak. "Shh..." The woman signaled him to be quiet, standing silently by the door, listening to the noise outside. It took a long while for the sound of zombies to disappear, as if they had left via the stairwell. Only then did she look at He Mingxuan, "My name is Ren Jiali, what’s yours?" "He Mingxuan." Surveying the woman in front of him, He Mingxuan had previously only seen a blurred outline from a distance, but now he realized she was truly beautiful, with a great figure. With these assets, as long as there were enough supplies, he could imagine lying in bed with this girl forever. He was now contemplating one thing. Whether to go for it directly or to first cultivate some feelings, like spending several hours having a good chat with the girl, then moving to deeper communication in bed. Suddenly. The sound of the door opening was heard. Startled, He Mingxuan thought a zombie had come and almost grabbed the kitchen knife to defend himself. However, when he saw a bare-chested, muscular, hunky man emerge from the room, he was completely stunned. Damn! There was another man. A man with a thick chest of hair no less. Which presumably meant... this woman was already taken, and had nothing to do with him. Damn! A sense of regret bubbled up from his heart. But wait a minute... Why was this man eyeing him up as soon as he emerged, and why did his gaze seem a bit predatory, as if sizing up some sort of prey? For some reason, Spirit thought of a news story from abroad. Two burglars broke into a homeowner’s house, only to find the owner to be a strong and burly gay man, who held the burglars captive for five days for his amusement, until they were eventually rescued by the police. The first place the two burglars were taken to was the proctology department. "He is my brother, Ren Yan," the beauty finally broke the despairing silence of He Mingxuan. So it was her brother. There might still be hope then. He was already fantasizing about his obese body pressing down on the beauty. Ren Yan looked at He Mingxuan, licked his lips, and came over to him. His strong and tall stature was in sharp contrast to He Mingxuan, who, although slightly overweight, looked like a pudgy child in front of the other man. "Come, let’s go to my room, I have something to say to you," said Ren Yan, draping an arm over He Mingxuan’s shoulder. He Mingxuan seemed very wooden, and involuntarily followed along. A strong hand gently rubbed his waist, persistently moving downward, giving him a creepy feeling. "What are you doing?" Ren Yan smirked devilishly, "Doing you." Slam! The door closed. Sounds of a scuffle came from inside, like children fighting. The woman shook her head. "Ah, the damned end of the world, leaving my brother so desperate. Of all the guys in the community, this one’s the ugliest, and yet my brother is interested..." she muttered, head still shaking in disbelief. In the past, the men her brother brought home were all fresh young meat. Thinking of her brother’s twisted need to inflict pain, she felt pity for the fat man named He Mingxuan. He was probably going to become her brother’s plaything. PS: I want to shape Spirit as a leader of the apocalypse, a butcher, a stand-up figure symbolizing the indomitable spirit of humanity. But every successful person must go through hardships, right... No problem with that. So, Spirit, how do you feel about this character?
