Maybe it’s the same hate

“Sister… sniff… can you hold me a little tighter, I’m so scared…”

Even though the girl was still covered in blood, Song Ning didn’t mind. She stroked the girl’s shoulder-length black hair with a pained heart.

“Don’t be afraid, sister is here. Chengcheng is so amazing, you scared away another zombie.”

After comforting her for a while, the girl stopped crying.

The tear tracks melted the clotted blood on her face, making her look like a little stray cat. She hid in Song Ning’s arms, intentionally or unintentionally looking at Ping Yan who had collapsed on the ground, her eyes filled with fear.

Song Ning noticed. And thinking about what Ping Yan had done to the girl earlier, an unspeakable anger rose in her heart.

Song Ning pulled the girl to stand in front of Ping Yan, looking at him as if he were trash, “I really…”

This was the second time she had said this, “I really misjudged you!”

Ping Yan’s face was expressionless. He turned his somewhat dull gaze, which wandered between the two girls, and he saw Ping Chengcheng’s face clearly.

That familiar scarlet flashed past.

“Haha…” Ping Yan laughed weakly.

“Hahahahahaha!” So, from the very beginning, this girl could have killed him at will!

All these days, it had just been a game for this girl!

His laughter was crazed, the corners of his mouth stretched into an exaggerated grin, he laughed until tears streamed down his face, laughed until the sour water in his stomach came out.

Song Ning had originally felt some pity for Ping Yan, but seeing his crazed appearance, it had completely dissipated.

“Why, though, you were so kind before the apocalypse, so…”

But now… her eyes were filled with confusion.

Ping Yan was a friend she had known since childhood, they had grown up together, it was not an exaggeration to say they were childhood sweethearts.

Ping Chengcheng tugged at the girl’s clothes, as if reminding her, “Sister, this brother, is he crazy, so, so scary…”

Song Ning gently patted the girl’s head, “Don’t be afraid, I’m here.” Her eyes were gentle.

Wu Sheng looked at the two girls cuddling together and began to analyze.

Looking at Ping Chengcheng’s attitude, she… wanted Ping Yan to die, right?

But she could have killed him directly just now, but Ping Chengcheng didn’t.

Thinking about the things Ping Chengcheng had acted out before… could it be that all of this was for Song Ning to see?

Ping Chengcheng, wanted Song Ning, to kill Ping Yan herself?

Realizing that this guess was very likely, and thinking about Ping Chengcheng’s previous instructions to cooperate with her in a play…

His mind quickly turned, looking at the hesitant Song Ning who was wondering how to deal with Ping Yan, he slowly spoke.

“Miss Song, if you ask me, this Ping Yan deserves to die ten thousand times!”

Song Ning looked at Wu Sheng in surprise.

Ping Chengcheng also looked at him strangely, then realized something, and a sly glint flashed in her eyes.

“Yes, sniff… he, he’s too abominable, if it weren’t for him…”

Wu Sheng immediately took over, “Originally, that mutated zombie was just passing by, and didn’t notice us.”

“But, Ping Yan, he went crazy, opened the door directly, and let that mutated zombie find us! That’s why this happened!”

“I… this kind of person who is worse than an animal, just kill him!”

Ping Yan had already closed his eyes. He had accepted it, thinking that Ping Chengcheng would not let him go, that he would definitely die.

But hearing Wu Sheng’s words, he opened his eyes again in anger.

“You motherf*cker! Don’t you dare bull—”

“Smack!” Wu Sheng slapped him.

“What are you yelling about? If it weren’t for you, how would so many of us have died!”

Wu Sheng held his head and cried, muttering something about how good Zhou Wen and the others were, and now they were dead.

Song Ning also thought of Zhou Wen. She had had a good impression of him before, and thinking of this, her impression of Ping Yan had completely hit rock bottom.

Ping Yan’s head was spinning from the slap, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

“Let’s, let’s kill him…” Wu Sheng said through gritted teeth.

Song Ning took a deep breath. She had no relationship with Ping Yan anymore. She took the pistol from Wang Yang’s corpse.

She saw Ping Yan clearly. This person… was just, like this…

However, something she didn’t expect happened.

Ping Yan actually laughed, his voice harsh, like a rusty gear turning.

The madness in his eyes slowly disappeared.

“Song Ning, are you going to kill me?”

Song Ning’s hand holding the gun paused slightly.

“Song Ning.”

Ping Yan wasn’t afraid. He looked straight at the dark muzzle, then looked at Ping Chengcheng.

Ping Chengcheng’s face was a little ugly. At this time, was Ping Yan going to disgust her again?

Ping Yan coughed, and some more blood slipped from the corner of his mouth.

“I’m sorry… for dragging you down for so long.”

“Let’s just leave it at that… in the next life, I won’t drag you down again.”

“Kill me.”

Although he didn’t know why Ping Chengcheng was hiding her identity, she didn’t seem to have any ill intentions towards Song Ning. And she was very powerful, much more powerful than a waste like him…

He slowly closed his eyes, waiting for the gunshot to announce the arrival of death.

For a long time, there was no gunshot.

A warm tear fell on his cheek.

‘Song Ning, is she crying?’

Ping Chengcheng watched this scene in a daze. She inexplicably felt her mind was in a mess. She didn’t know why, she didn’t understand.

Ping Yan chuckled and looked up at the girl who was crying for him.

After so many years of friendship, he knew that the girl had deep feelings for him. He also knew that Song Ning only saw him as a friend. He had thought of more, but, he knew he wasn’t worthy. But before he died, he wanted to be cool for once.

His rough hand covered Song Ning’s small hand holding the gun, and the cold muzzle pressed against his forehead.

His thumb, with its fingernails full of blood, pulled the trigger.

“Bang!—”

The man’s head tilted back, a deep red hole in his forehead, but there was a hint of relief in his eyes. He fell heavily to the ground, his eyes gradually losing their luster.

He was also tired of being cowardly, tired of dragging others down, but he was afraid of death, he didn’t dare… but today, for the first time, he wasn’t afraid of death.

Perhaps, like Ping Chengcheng, he also hated “Ping Yan,” this cowardly, selfish guy, and wished he would die quickly!

Wu Sheng didn’t expect things to turn out like this. He was stunned for a long time and didn’t know what to say. He looked at Ping Chengcheng, who was also standing there silently.

Wu Sheng pinched the bridge of his nose and walked to the fire pit with trepidation to rekindle the fire that was about to go out.

After a long time, Song Ning put away the pistol. She walked to the window and looked out at the bleak night.

The fog still enveloped the world, so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

There was no light, no stars, no moon, no lights…

It was as if in this deep darkness of several kilometers, there was only this one survivor’s home with a burning fire pit…

Like the only planet in the entire universe…

She was a little lost.

Death, in the apocalypse… was it a release?

What to do, what was the purpose in the future? Just to live like a puppet?

Sadness spread in her heart, she was a little tired…

“Sister…”

A warm body pressed against her back, making Song Ning a little tense.

She showed a bitter smile.

“Chengcheng, be good.”

The girl hugged her arm, very tightly, warmth spreading to her body.

“Sister, don’t be afraid, from now on, I’ll be with you.”

“The apocalypse is not meaningless…” The girl’s eyes flowed with a light that was captivating…

Her smile was cute and innocent, her voice carrying a barely perceptible bewitching and luring quality, “Sister, we’ll always be together.”

Looking at the girl’s smile, the girl’s gloomy thoughts gradually relaxed.

“Yes, we’ll always be together.”

‘Sister… you said it…’ The blood-red light in the girl’s eyes grew even more intense.
