654 Words
They collectively shifted aside the decrepit wardrobe clutter, using scissors to sever ropes, wires, and iron wires, then unlocked the door. He Yaowu's kinfolk entered, and he himself drove the car inside. Then, together, they reattached the heavy iron gate and relocated the wardrobe and such.
He Yaowu, tearfully, expressed, "Big brother, thank you!"
Song Yunian responded, "Aiding others is only natural!"
He Yaowu suggested, "Big brother, in my view, why not blockade both cars at the gate? It would be even safer!" Song Yunian agreed.
All retired to the second villa for respite. Xu Xiaoli was consoling Liang Jiajia. Liang Jiajia paid no heed upon seeing Song Yunian return. Song Yunian, Zhang Jian, and He Yaowu ascended to the rooftop, observing the commotion outside the mountain gate.
He Yaowu remarked, "Gentlemen, the zombies move quite slowly; they likely won't arrive until later in the afternoon."
Song Yunian noted, "Seems like Brother He is quite familiar with the characteristics of zombies! Please, enlighten us further!"
He Yaowu disclosed, "To be honest, I've personally slain a zombie, cleaving off its head with a shovel. That shovel remains in the trunk of my car!"
Impressed, Song Yunian commented, "Very courageous! We will likely have to fight side by side in the future! By the way, how did you think of seeking refuge here?"
He Yaowu explained, "I work as a real estate agent. Ten years ago, I handled the sale and lease of these villas, leaving a deep impression."
Song Yunian inquired, "How old are you? You've been working for ten years?"
He Yaowu replied, "I started working as an agent at sixteen, and I'm twenty-six now."
Song Yunian chuckled, "My apologies, my apologies. I shouldn't call you 'He younger brother'; 'He elder brother' would be more fitting! This Dr. Zhang here is twenty-eight, older than me, so both of you are now my elder brothers!"
He Yaowu grinned, "I may be short in stature, appearing immature, but you two saved the lives of my entire family. I am willingly your younger brother!"
Suddenly breaking his silence, Zhang Jian questioned, "Xiao He, were the zombies following your cars up the mountain?"
He Yaowu awkwardly admitted, "Yes, we attracted some when we returned from the highway. I apologize for jeopardizing your safety!"
Zhang Jian asked, "Do you know how many zombies in total?"
He Yaowu estimated, "I glanced back at the time, probably around twelve to twenty. I'm unsure if there were more later!"
Zhang Jian suggested, "Xiao Song, you're skilled in combat. How will we deal with those zombies in the afternoon? We can't just let them clamor outside the gate!"
Song Yunian, knowledgeable in military tactics, weaponry, and combat, promptly responded, "I noticed plenty of sharp knives in the kitchen, each room also has a clothes rack, rarely utilized. We can fasten the knives onto the clothes rack tips, fashioning makeshift spears, then pierce through the gaps in the iron gate to dispatch them!"
He Yaowu complimented, "Big Brother Song, truly resourceful! Admirable!"
Soon, they fashioned three "spears". After lunch, the zombies had yet to arrive. Everyone retired to their rooms for rest.
Song Yunian entered Liang Jiajia's room, finding her engrossed in a mobile game. Pretending not to notice, Liang Jiajia continued gaming. Song Yunian lay beside her, whispering in her ear, "Jiajia, don't be angry."
Liang Jiajia seemingly ignored him, still gaming. With tenderness, Song Yunian planted a gentle kiss on her cheek. Only then did Liang Jiajia set aside her phone, closing her eyes. Song Yunian leaned in, his lips meeting hers, lingering for a while before pulling away.
Locking eyes with him, Liang Jiajia gazed at this handsome and gentle man, asking, "Husband! Do you love me?"
Song Yunian affirmed, "Of course!"
Pouting, Liang Jiajia teased, "Of course you love or 'of course' you don't love?"
Song Yunian chuckled, "Of course I love!" With that, they embraced each other once more.
