"Leo!"
In the corridor of an apartment building, a sharp and frightened female voice suddenly rang out.
A zombie was clutching Leo, frantically biting his arm.
Behind him, Elizabeth, who he was protecting, stood frozen in anxiety, tears running down her face as she looked at the scene in pain.
"Elizabeth, run! Get back inside!"
Leo gripped the zombie that was biting his arm with both hands, turned around with difficulty, looked at Elizabeth, and nearly roared.
"No... Leo..." Elizabeth cried out in pain, but she didn't know where the courage came from—she stepped forward and tore at the zombie Leo was struggling to control.
"Elizabeth, you... you need to go! I've been bitten!"
Looking at the frantic Elizabeth, a flash of longing crossed Leo's eyes, and then he showed a miserable smile.
Painful!
Heart-wrenching!
It was a kind of severe pain that seemed to pierce his very soul, yet he was still conscious.
It felt as if his bones were bursting, his soul was tearing, and his body was being crushed by thousands of pounds.
"Elizabeth, be good. I've been bitten. You have to live well. I didn't protect her—if you don't leave, I won't be able to die in peace..."
Leo's voice was sorrowful, and his eyes were blood-red.
It hurt so much!
Just one bite caused pain more severe than being hit by a car—unlike anything he'd experienced in his life.
The severe pain made his consciousness begin to blur.
Leo was an orphan.
When he was in high school, his parents died in a car accident.
Relying on the compensation, he survived alone until he went to college.
No worries, no one to worry about, completely alone.
At school, no one wanted to make friends with him.
With his parents dead and left alone, he developed a withdrawn personality. As he grew up, he became increasingly reclusive. Except for necessary outings, he stayed at home every day playing games and browsing the internet.
Elizabeth was his landlord.
Because he was unsociable, he had rented on his own since the beginning of his freshman year.
After living there for two years, he gradually became acquainted with the mature landlord Elizabeth, and they became good friends who talked about everything. Elizabeth's intelligence and easy-going nature, her attractive figure, and that kind of big-sister care made him gradually obsessed.
Unfortunately, his young love came at the wrong time—the woman he cared for already had a family.
Moreover, she also had a newborn daughter, Lily.
I've liked a woman for a long time, but I haven't dared to confess because I'm afraid her family won't agree, mainly because of her husband don't like to share...
This joke perfectly described Leo's reality for the past two years.
He witnessed his sweetheart pregnant and waiting to give birth, and witnessed Lily grow from a wrinkled newborn to a baby with a white and tender face, babbling and learning to speak.
Outside the delivery room, Elizabeth's bastard husband was nowhere to be seen, but it was his turn as a tenant to take care of everything.
When mother and daughter were discharged from the hospital, he was in charge of that too.
Even Lily's diapers were changed by him most of the time.
After giving birth to Lily, Elizabeth signed a divorce agreement with her bastard husband who only knew how to gamble, and they hadn't had any contact since then.
In Elizabeth's heart, this younger brother truly mattered.
But she didn't know how deep her brother's love for her was.
It was a pity.
A week ago in the afternoon, Leo was walking with Elizabeth and Lily in the small park outside the apartment building when the apocalypse suddenly broke out. The vast majority of humans mutated into zombies. When escaping back to the apartment, Elizabeth stumbled and dropped Lily to the ground. Before she could pick her up, a middle-aged man who had turned into a zombie bit the child.
Lily's death was a huge blow to Elizabeth.
But life had to go on.
This week, they depended on each other and hid in the apartment, not daring to come out.
But the food was limited, and Elizabeth's mental state was really poor. Leo didn't want her to go hungry, so he decided to go out to find food.
But he didn't expect it.
As soon as he went out, he encountered the neighbor next door, an aunt about sixty years old. Right now, however, this aunt had become a zombie with infinite strength, agile movements, and no emotion.
In order to protect Elizabeth, Leo was bitten!
"It's over!"
"Bitten by a zombie!"
"I'm still a virgin. I haven't confessed to Elizabeth, and I haven't experienced being with a woman..."
"Damn it..."
At this moment, in addition to the severe pain, Leo's entire brain was blank. His consciousness gradually faded, and he muttered unconsciously.
"I don't want to become a zombie..."
The toxin had entered his body through the wound, causing him unbearable pain.
It was a tearing pain!
It felt like his whole body was being cut by a jagged knife, piece by piece.
His face was pale and bloodless. He finally couldn't hold on, staggered back a few steps, and lost his strength completely. Leaning against the wall, he sat on the ground wailing, tilted his head, and fainted.
An hour, maybe a day, two days, three days...
"Hiss..."
Leo drew a sharp breath and opened his eyes without warning.
When he saw his surroundings clearly, his eyes widened suddenly, and a strong sense of shock and confusion flashed through him.
This was Elizabeth's apartment!
Wasn't he bitten by a zombie in the corridor?
He looked down at the wound on his arm.
The wound was still there.
But the originally blackened flesh and blood were no longer so terrifying—the flesh and blood had returned to their normal color, and the scars were gradually healing.
"What's going on?"
Leo frowned, puzzled.
At that moment, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Elizabeth lying next to him, wearing a red nightdress.
Elizabeth was lying on the ground without any grace, her long black hair spilling across the floor. Her head rested on his left arm, her eyes were tightly closed, and her pretty face was bloodless, pale and haggard. She looked like she had fallen into a coma.
The nightdress was already quite short, normally reaching her knees, but at this moment, disheveled, it exposed a pair of plump and shapely legs and pale little feet.
Seeing this scene, Leo couldn't help but swallow hard, feeling somewhat moved.
But he knew this wasn't the time to enjoy the scenery.
He didn't have time to dwell on why he was able to wake up normally after being bitten by a zombie.
The top priority at this moment was to wake up Elizabeth.
He got up, picked up Elizabeth, and placed her on the sofa, preparing to wake her.
But his foot kicked a glass, and the glass rolled with a jingling sound.
Leo didn't care at first and just glanced at it casually.
But it was this glance that made him realize something was wrong.
He picked up the glass and looked at it carefully, only to see that there was still a layer of milky white residue condensed into a solid on the inside wall of the cup.
This was...?
From often feeding Lily milk powder, he naturally recognized what it was.
But... hadn't the milk powder at home been consumed by him and Elizabeth during this week?
If it weren't for the fact that even Lily's rations had been eaten and there was really no food left, Leo wouldn't have taken the risk and walked out the door with Elizabeth.
So what was in this cup...?
Leo was slightly startled, but when his eyes saw Elizabeth's round breasts, as well as the red and swollen nipples, he immediately understood.
It turns out ...
I don't know how long I have been in a coma, so Elizabeth has been relying on her breast milk to maintain his physical functions and nutrition!
