"It's not like I pushed your dad, he voluntarily blocked my way. I didn't want him to turn into a zombie either. You can't blame everything on me!" Li Dan frantically defended herself as she saw Xiao Feng approaching step by step, clearly intending to settle scores with her.
But Xiao Feng still grabbed her throat with one hand.
She immediately had trouble breathing, her face turning red from the strain.
She frantically slapped at Xiao Feng's hand, straining her neck to speak.
"I know you don't like me, but your mom's death has nothing to do with me or your dad! It was her own problem!"
Hearing this, Xiao Feng's grip tightened even more.
The violent intent in his eyes was palpable.
"What problem could my mom have?! It's all because you seduced my dad and made him have an affair that caused my mom to get depression!" Xiao Feng roared.
"Who... who told you that?!" Li Dan gasped.
"Your mom developed depression after giving birth to you. As time went on, her symptoms got worse and worse.
At that time, I was just a staff member at the TV station, and my relationship with your dad was completely innocent.
Once when I went to submit some documents, I personally saw your mom going crazy in your dad's office, smashing various things. When your dad tried to calm her down, she hit him in the head with an ashtray, causing him to bleed.
It wasn't just that one time. There were several other occasions when your mom came to make a scene at the station, not only causing your dad to lose face but also once biting his arm during a public meeting, nearly taking a chunk of flesh."
"You're lying!" Xiao Feng's face was full of disbelief.
Li Dan sneered, "You can check if I'm lying by looking at whether there's a big scar on the right side of your dad's head, and if there's a row of teeth marks on his left hand!"
After Li Dan finished speaking, Xiao Feng furrowed his brow.
He remembered that his dad did indeed have a row of teeth marks on his left arm!
Just as he was shaken by this realization, suddenly there came the sound of bones dislocating and a low "hoo hoo hoo" growl from behind him.
His eyes darkened as he released Li Dan and turned his head.
He saw that Xiao Jun had completely transformed into a zombie, suddenly raising his head to glare at him fiercely before charging towards him.
For a moment, Xiao Feng was stunned.
Just as Xiao Jun was about to pounce on him, a vine quickly shot out from the side, binding Xiao Jun and dragging him back several steps.
The zombified Xiao Jun struggled constantly, opening his mouth wide to howl.
Xiao Feng looked at the familiar yet strange person before him, his gaze extremely complex.
"You know, even though your mom was like that, your dad still didn't give up on her. He sent her to the hospital and got the best doctors to treat her," Li Dan's voice came from behind again.
"But that day, your mom managed to evade everyone's attention and escape from the hospital. She returned to the roof of your house alone and jumped off.
So, your mom's death wasn't caused by your dad or me.
Because at that time, your dad and I were still just ordinary colleagues.
Yun Xiaoxiao nodded and withdrew her vines.
The released Xiao Jun immediately pounced towards Xiao Feng.
But just as he got close, a knife was directly plunged into his head.
He finally closed his eyes forever.
"There's a zoo behind the TV station. Nie Yizhou, can you take me there?" Xiao Feng said, glancing at Xiao Jun lying at his feet, his eyes slightly red.
"I want to... lay him to rest."
No one objected.
So, Nie Yizhou led the group there.
Arriving at the zoo, after three months of neglect, the grass had grown quite tall.
There were also some zombies wandering around the park, and bloodstains, animal remains, and garbage could be seen on the ground from time to time.
It looked dirty, messy, and desolate.
They came to a grassy area.
Yun Xiaoxiao, Ling Jing, and Little Cutie were responsible for clearing out the zombies in the surrounding area.
Nie Yizhou was in charge of digging. After digging a hole, Xiao Feng placed the body inside.
Nie Yizhou covered it with soil, shaping it into a grave mound.
They didn't have paper money or incense, so Yun Xiaoxiao took out some fruit instead.
Xiao Feng arranged the fruit, kowtowed three times towards the grave, and remained silent for a good while before standing up.
"I want to kill some zombies," he suddenly said.
Yun Xiaoxiao knew he was feeling very upset, so she said, "Go ahead, we'll accompany you."
"Yeah, let's go all out today. Kill as many as you want, until you can't kill anymore," Nie Yizhou also smiled.
Ling Jing put his hands in his pockets, looking relaxed.
"Happy to oblige."
They all smiled at each other.
Although they came from different places and had different personalities, they got along surprisingly well.
Sometimes, friends don't need many words.
They just need to help you when you need help, and be there for you unconditionally when you're feeling down or hurt.
That's enough.
(In the next chapter, they'll encounter a 'very cute' animal. Now taking suggestions for names. If suitable, I'll use them. Come on, everyone, think about it and give your suggestions.)
