Chapter 19: Make a Pact with Me

Bu Shun, who entered the commentary session, said more, but Lu Mingfei didn't feel strange, but fell into a strange silence.

Maybe the previous stimulation was really too strong, he suddenly felt ...... Xixiao's words do have some truth.

Until this moment, even though the blood stain had been refreshed with the "disengagement", the touch of cutting the zombie's body with a chainsaw still remained on his hand.

It was this overly real feeling that made his attitude towards this nightmare change, and Lu Mingfei, who had difficulty even killing a chicken, quickly - or unexpectedly accepted the cruelty of the status quo.

Because it can take the lives of others, it is even more fearful that others will take their own lives.

That's exactly what he thinks, so he desperately wants to kill those zombies who want to eat him, is this contradictory?

Lu Mingfei somewhat understood the Demon Hunter's 'expectations' for him. In the case of that wasted boy, it is indeed difficult to survive in this nightmare of the end times.

But Lu Mingfei is a person who will only be ruthless when he is pushed to the limit, so it was not until he was forced by Xixiao to face the real fight that he let go of the last unrealistic delusions in his heart.

Lu Mingfei had very few things, he was a child who slept in the garbage heap with his precious tattered bed. Even if someone spat at him and kicked him a few times, he would just silently change the corner where he could hide, as long as others didn't come to snatch his garbage.

But Xixiao told him that "it can't get worse than this" is just a false proposition.

He thought he was a pebble that no one cared about, but there would be people who would crush his pebble on a whim.

It's like the protagonist in the story who burned his sister to death without knowing anything, just like those zombies who had no grievances with him and still wanted to eat him.

Some of the clichΓ©d plots in the story are intertwined with the labor pains that still exist after the scars have healed, so that Lu Mingfei has to understand this kind of "reality" that exists equally in "dreams" and "reality".

Yes, no matter what world it is in, [the truth] is not as good as it is in the news.

So what should you do? What does this man want to do on his own? Become a so-called demon hunter?

Lu Mingfei looked at the cloaked demon hunter, hoping to get an answer from him.

"What kind of life do you want to live?"

Facing his gaze, Bu Shun suddenly asked Lu Mingfei a question that reminded him of the memory of listening to another man talk about his ordinary dreams at the noodle stall in the morning.

"yes, what kind of life do I want to live......

In this dream, he was more able to let go than the rotten appearance in reality, Lu Mingfei lowered his head, and the undue sorrow of a young man appeared on his green face, and he said in a low voice: "I don't know...... I want to know that kind of thing......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Bu Shun quietly watched the young man bow his head and muttered something, even if he couldn't see Lu Mingfei's expression, he could think that he had been forced to face his dazedness once again - of course, he did it last time.

"Even with the desire to live a peaceful life, the reality is often not the way people want it to be, no matter what the world is."

said another line that would trigger Lu Mingfei's memories, Bu Shun's tone did not fluctuate, but he seemed to be pitiful and sympathetic: "If you can't figure out this kind of thing, then don't think about it, try to challenge the most difficult goal." ”

Lu Mingfei's eyes widened: "The most difficult ......?" ”

Looking at him with eyes that made Lu Mingfei unable to laugh at all, Bu Shun said lightly: "Ordinary life, ordinary food and drink, ordinary love, ordinary welcome death...... This is undoubtedly the most difficult thing in this world. ”

"Make a 'contract' with me, Lu Mingfei."

"Become a 'Hunter' and let me see your dreams."

……

……

Lu Mingfei once complained that his life was so empty that he could see through it at a glance, maybe the future is to go to an unfamous university, fall in love in college, and then come out to find a job and become an ordinary social animal.

Maybe his parents will occasionally urge him to get married when they think of him, and then he will casually find someone to marry on a blind date, and finally have a child, go to work every day, and one day die suddenly on the job or die of illness...... It's easier to die like this.

He never thought that one day, someone would want him to work towards an "ordinary life".

- Isn't he ordinary enough?

But this kind of words may be said in reality, after experiencing the zombie's big mouth at a negative distance several times, Lu Mingfei has understood the difference between this nightmare world and the world he lives in.

His ordinariness and rot are incompatible in this world, because this is an apocalyptic world, people like him must have been eaten alive by zombies or something else, how can there be any "ordinary life"?

He is ordinary, but he has become an outlier here.

Not to mention the ordinary birth of a child, even eating enough is a difficult thing. You know, even a demon hunter like the bearded man needs to do this dangerous work to earn enough food.

If you can't even meet the most basic food and clothing, then what kind of ordinary life can you talk about?

Holding the still hot can, Lu Mingfei's numb face changed a little, and he seemed to have figured out something.

"Make a 'contract' with me, Lu Mingfei."

"Become a 'Hunter' and let me see your dreams."

keenly aware of the change in his expression, so it was reasonable, and Bu Shun introduced to Lu Mingfei the words he had thought of a long time ago.

"In this unchanging world, it's been a long, long time since you've ever dreamed of a foreigner."

"I'll teach you how to survive the apocalypse...... Relatively, let me see your dreams. ”

For a while, it was difficult for Lu Mingfei to understand the deep meaning and inexplicable expectation contained in his words.

But he didn't say anything like "I refuse," and there was no reason why he didn't have to say no to the "contract."

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Good! ”

Answering simply, Lu Mingfei lowered his head and gulped down the soft and glutinous meat in the can. He found that he would also be hungry in his dreams, and although the wound could recover quickly, the physical exertion would not decrease, and the hunger would get worse as time passed......

He hated the feeling of hunger.

The heat and fat slid down his tongue and into his stomach through his esophagus, calming his mood a little bit.

But as he ate, tears suddenly fell silently from his face.

The boy swallowed the broth mixed with tears and choked, "I don't want to die...... I don't want to be eaten...... I want to be with beautiful girls, I want to eat things that are delicious but haven't eaten, I want my parents to come back and see me......"

"β€”I don't want to die alone like this."
