After taking Xiao Nezha to wash his mouth and hands briefly at the beach, Chen Yuan walked side by side with him to the small supermarket.

"Aren't you cold?"

Chen Yuan glanced at the thin figure next to him.

Just now, he ran out in a panic before he was completely out of control, and now he was wearing only a shabby sweater, and he didn't even have shoes on his feet.

Little Nezha looked up at Chen Yuan blankly, and then shook his head.

Chen Yuan couldn't help but be a little puzzled.

It's so strange to wear so little and not feel cold.

Is it because the body is inherently hardy, or is the body's perception of cold weakened?

"Reach out. ”

Little Nezha blinked, and then put his hand in Chen Yuan's hand.

The icy touch came quickly, and they were already a little stiff and frozen.

Chen Yuan looked at him with a frown, "Don't feel cold at all?"

Little Nezha nodded firmly, "It's not cold." ”

"Okay. ”

Chen Yuan put down his hand and looked at his bare feet helplessly.

The thin instep was slightly blue, and the grit covered the soles of his feet.

After hesitating for a moment, Chen Yuan still squatted down and said to Xiao Nezha, "Come here, I'll hold you." ”

Xiao Nezha was stunned, and didn't seem to understand the word "hug" very well.

Chen Yuan directly reached behind his leg with one hand and picked him up.

Little Nezha's eyes widened, and his expression was full of curiosity. His hands were held up in the air, and he didn't know where to put them.

Chen Yuan smiled, "Just put your hand on my shoulder." ”

Xiao Nezha nodded slowly, he first wiped it on his sweater, and after confirming that there was no water on his hands, he carefully placed it on Chen Yuan's shoulder.

Chen Yuan glanced at him, then looked ahead and exhaled softly.

Frankly, this little boy is really cute.

If there were no zombies, maybe he was now attending elementary school in a school in this city, living a happy life of being pampered by his parents every day.

But now, he never had the chance to live that life again.

To be precise, Chen Yuan didn't know if he could still be regarded as a normal human being.

After all, in a sense, they are both between humans and zombies.

However, Chen Yuan thought about it carefully.

Little Nezha's situation seems to be similar to him in terms of bloodthirsty impulses at present. But the rest of the place seems to be completely different.

If it is said that Xiao Nezha has such a change because of experiments, then has he also experienced some kind of experiment?

Chen Yuan's heart became more and more confused.

Growing up, he has always lived with his grandparents and has never encountered anything strange, let alone been taken away for experiments.

If you haven't been experimented with, why do you have such strange changes in your body?

He looked at the white circle of light coming out of the flashlight in front of him.

Blinked hesitantly, and subconsciously, he suddenly remembered the dream he had been having.

What's going on?

That dream......

His gaze flickered slightly with the aperture in front of him.

After thinking about it hard, except for the gray ceiling and the strong incandescent lamp, he could only vaguely remember the vague figure of a woman in the picture.

Come to think of it, ever since he was bitten by a zombie, this dream had started to recur in his mind.

Until now, I don't know how many times I've dreamed about it.

Normally, it's impossible to dream the same dream so many times, right?

Isn't this dream just a simple dream?

Chen Yuan grabbed his hair hard, his mind was a mess, and he didn't have any clue.

He looked up helplessly at the broken moon in the sky and shook his head slightly.

For him, there is no intelligence or information now, and there is no point in thinking about it like this.

He turned his head to look at little Nezha.

The little boy leaned on his shoulder in a daze, and his posture basically did not change much.

At this moment, he noticed that Chen Yuan was looking at him, so he also blinked his eyes and looked at Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan pursed his lips and did not speak.

He was just thinking in his heart, how to tell everyone about Xiao Nezha's situation next, and how to decide whether he would stay or stay later.

"It's a bit nerve-wracking......"

He sighed quietly.

Little Nezha looked at him stupidly, and didn't seem to understand what nerve-wracking was.

Chen Yuan gave him a reluctant smile.

At present, little Nezha doesn't know when his body will have that bloodthirsty impulse. That means that as long as they take him with them, it is equivalent to carrying a time bomb, and Shen Jingyuan and they may face uncontrollable dangers at any time. Based on this, Chen Yuan could not choose to take him with him no matter what.

However, when he thought of him trying to control himself and then running out of the small supermarket in a panic, Chen Yuan felt a little unbearable. At the end of the day, he was only an eight-year-old child, and his actual intelligence was not even up to the standard of an eight-year-old. If he was really left here alone, Chen Yuan always felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

He thought for a moment with a sad face, he hadn't let himself be so hungry since he realized that hunger produced that bloodthirsty urge. And even if that bloodthirsty impulse appeared in his body, he could sense it in advance, so as to find a way to suppress that impulse.

In this way, if there is also a way to prevent Xiao Nezha from losing control, or if he can feel that bloodthirsty impulse in advance and suppress it. Then it shouldn't be a problem to take him with you.

In their thoughts, the two of them had already arrived at the door of the small supermarket.

Yang Wanli pushed the door open early and welcomed the two in.

When the three women saw him come back with little Nezha in their arms, the expressions on their faces were a little surprised.

"Are you alright?"

Yang Wanli asked as he closed the door.

"Hmm. ”

Chen Yuan responded, and then put Xiao Nezha on the floor of him and Shen Jingyuan.

He rubbed Xiao Nezha's head, then looked at Shen Jingyuan and said, "Yuanyuan, you can wipe his feet with paper first, this guy doesn't even have shoes on." ”

"Uh-huh, okay. ”

Shen Jingyuan nodded again and again, and then took a tissue to gently help Xiao Nezha wipe off the grit on his feet.

"Just ......"

Li Qiluo whispered.

At this time, everyone was already sleepy, they were all dressed, waiting for Chen Yuan to speak.

Chen Yuan moved a small bench and sat opposite everyone.

After thinking about it for a while, he looked at little Nezha and said, "Probably because of some kind of experiment, now he is no longer a human in the conventional sense." ”

"What do you mean......

Li Qiluo looked confused.

Chen Yuan grabbed his hair helplessly, "He will lose control, and after losing control, he will have an extreme desire for fresh flesh and blood." He pointed to his eyes, "His pupils will also turn red, and the whites of his eyes will turn black, just like zombies." ”

"Huh, isn't it...... And what about him...... He...... He's now?"

Li Qiluo looked at everyone stumblingly.

Jiang Lian's gaze locked on Xiao Nezha's body, "It seems that this kind of loss of control will not always exist, will it return to its human form after a period of time?"

Chen Yuan nodded, "Yes." ”

Jiang Lian bit her finger lightly and raised her eyes to look at Chen Yuan, "So, he just went to eat at that pile of corpses?"

"Hmm. ”

Hearing such a fact, a trace of fear flashed on Li Qiluo's face.

Yang Wanli was also a little stunned, and it seemed that it was difficult to accept this unbelievable thing for a while.

Shen Jingyuan's hand froze in mid-air, she looked at Xiao Nezha's thin little paw that was still stained with a little gravel, and some pictures of the past subconsciously appeared in her mind.

At that time, Chen Yuan also became like that......

Her heart was beating uneasily in her chest, and she glanced at Chen Yuan with a complicated expression.

Impossible......

She bit her lower lip, shook her head, and continued to help little Nezha wipe the grit stuck to her feet.

Everyone's attention was focused on Xiao Nezha's body, and no one noticed Shen Jingyuan's reaction.

Jiang Lian's voice was still so calm and calm, "Then what are you going to do?"

Chen Yuan pursed his lips and shook his head slightly, "I don't know." He pressed his head to his head, "though theoretically we should definitely stay away from his ......"
