Even after discussing it for the entire night, none of them could decide what should be done with the zombies. It was already morning by the time they stopped talking and got up to travel again. No one was an expert in this field, and they didn't even know where the safe zone was!
"Is there even a thing as a safe zone?" Phil couldn't believe this and voiced out his doubts.
Gavin shrugged and said, "Why not? Zombie novels have always mentioned such things. Why wouldn't it happen in real life?"
"Because that's a novel, and this is reality." Phil wasn't very optimistic in this kind of thing. So he just continued to talk negatively while arguing with the person standing beside him. "You will probably end up getting depressed if you expect this to be a novel."
On the other side, Neil snorted as if he disagreed with Phil's words.
His voice attracted the other man's attention, and the latter instantly turned around to glare at the male lead. "So you know better than others. Why don't you bother guiding us? Look at Hope! She's carrying the burden on her two delicate shoulders alone!"
"Who said she's delicate? She's my equal in terms of power."
Tyler's expression, on the other hand, was getting darker and darker. Why was this male lead continuing to talk nonsense with other people? Last night, because the male lead flirted, Tyler was so aroused that he wanted to jump on Neil right there, but this person actually dared to stop him!
That was kind of a humiliating situation for Tyler. Even though he knew the situation wasn't right, and everyone was still awake, and that the male lead still had to be present in that scene for completing the arc, it didn't mean that the former was happy.
So this time, Tyler controlled himself and planned to get back at the male lead once alone. When Neil was talking to other people, he couldn't take it anymore and instantly became jealous.
Finally, Tyler couldn't help himself and instantly grabbed the man's hands and pinched him ruthlessly. "Less talking."
When Neil saw this kind of expression on his baby's face, he smiled widely. He was doing this on purpose. The male lead knew that he shouldn't be taking advantage of the naive little Tyler and bully him like this, but he couldn't help it.
He remembered the ruthless, cold, and savvy Tyler before transmigrating here well enough.
But now, after facing such an amnesiac Tyler, there was an itch in Neil's heart. The latter really wanted to continue this bittersweet torment, but he also knew when to stop. He really didn't want to die an early death from the zombie king's hands.
So he just smiled and pulled Tyler closer, giving him a sudden lingering kiss on his lips.
After this, Tyler was so surprised that he couldn't move at all, and he instantly realized that the male lead was just playing with him. So he couldn't help but glare at the guy.
"Get a room, guys." Finally, Hope couldn't take it anymore and had to utter these words. Just what the hell were these guys doing in broad daylight? There were other singles around them too!
"Are they always like this?" Ray glanced at the couple behind them from the corner of his eyes.
"Most of the time, yeah." Hope shrugged, still glaring at the couple. "But I haven't known them for a long time. So I'm really not sure."
They all continued complaining about Tyler and Neil, but the involved people didn't even bother glancing at them. Both of them just continued exchanging their sickeningly sweet love through flirtatious glances and actions. By the time it was the end of another day, Everyone was already fed with them, so much so that they even wanted to get them out of their faces for the entire night!
This was what Neil was waiting for! He grinned and dragged Tyler away from them excitedly. The male lead had planned and deliberately flirted with Tyler in front of everyone, making them so envious that they would end up kicking him out with Tyler for the night.
And now that Neil got his wish, his feet practically danced on the road. He had been waiting for this day for so many years! And he felt like he would surely turn into a monk if he waited any longer.
Tyler was a little flustered seeing the male lead's expression. Even though he would keep complaining to himself that Neil had acted like a beast in the previous world, Tyler was still anticipating this. He also wanted to feel the same pleasure all over again. He quickly glanced at the grinning male lead's face and felt a trace of a blush creeping up his face and lowered his head before this man discovered him.
He knew he shouldn't have died and left the male lead behind for years, but what choice did he have? It wasn't like he could beg the system to find him another body so that he could spend more time with the male lead. So Tyler could only sulk in private after returning to his resting realm.
But now, when they finally were alone, Tyler wanted to please this person with all his heart. So he determined this in his heart and glanced at the male lead, who had paused his steps at some unknown time, staring at his baby with a smile on his face.
Tyler's heart skipped a beat, and he instantly lowered his head.
The male lead, who was watching this kind of expression, grinned. "What're you thinking?"
"...Nothing." Tyler averted his restless eyes and continued looking at the ground.
"Really?" Neil cocked his head and said, "You're thinking about me."
"No. You're overthinking." At this time, Tyler could even hear drums of his heartbeat in his ears.
The male lead smiled and pecked Tyler's lips before dragging him inside an empty house. After that, he swiftly closed the door and windows, leaving nothing but darkness all around them. But neither of them was afraid. Neil and Tyler were both anxiously waiting for this kind of moment. So the former simply pulled his baby closer and pressed his lips on the latter's mouth without any hesitation.
