Chapter 92: Chapter 90: Delighting in Others’ Misfortune

Su Yu was kicked away by Su Yun, and lay on the ground, unwilling to get up for a long time, not knowing how to face everyone. He had finally gathered his bravery to confess his feelings, only to be abruptly cut off by Su Yun halfway through.

Su Yun knew too well about Su Yu, she knew that he would never summon the courage to confess to Ning Yan again.

"That Su Yun is a real demon..." Su Yu muttered with bitterness in his heart, devastated, and overwhelmed with shame.

"Heh heh," Zhang Zhongmou came over laughing, and tossed him a cigarette. The three of them had grown up together; who wouldn’t know each other’s temperaments? With the great god Su Yun here, Su Yu trying to flirt with girls was like attaching a couplet to a dog’s mouth—impossible.

"Forget it, my dear friend," Zhang Zhongmou looked sympathetically at Su Yu, who seemed utterly distraught. But his eyes betrayed his true feelings. Su Yu saw that the look in his eyes was one of malice and pleasure from other’s misfortune.

Zhang Zhongmou had been frustrated enough this morning. Seeing Su Yu even more upset than him made him extremely happy. When a person is having hard times and realizes there are people even unluckier than them, the feeling is indeed comforting.

Su Yu was extremely frustrated. Looking at Su Yun’s smug face, he felt like he wanted to bash his head against a wall.

Zhou Birong also came out. Her injuries were essentially healed. After a full day of rest, everyone’s physical and mental strength was restored. Su Yu, Zhou Birong, Ma Ziye, Qin Jiagui, Zhao Shichang, and other injured people had mostly recovered. With special powers, their recovery capability were incredible. As long as they weren’t completely killed on the spot, no matter how severe the injury, they could recover.

The twelve of them quickly ate something, picked up the large bag of food, left the cave, and went to the place where they first encountered Mr. and Mrs. York. The bodies of Ding Shan and Jennifer were buried on that slope.

Whether Jennifer’s body had the Treasure Map, no one was sure, but it was their only clue. They searched everywhere in the cave, but found no trace of the map.

Food was crucial for everyone’s survival, since leaving the cave, they made sure to carry it with them. This was the eighth day since they arrived in the forest, and they had finally discovered a clue that might lead them out of the forest or even this world. No one wanted to give up.

Zhou Birong led the way, her right hand holding a pistol out of habit. She only had a few bullets left. When the bullets ran out, the gun would be useless.

The mobile phones they carried were either broken in fights, or had run out of power and shut down by themselves. Luckily, Zhao Shichang, Lei Rui, and a few others were wearing watches so they could still tell the time. Otherwise, they wouldn’t even know the time.

Following Zhou Birong were Qin Jiagui and Zhao Shichang. Yuan Niping, Su Yun, Lei Rui, and others were in the middle of the group. Su Yu, as usual, stuck to the back of the group. Usually, Ma Ziye would keep him company in the back, but this time, Ma Ziye was in the middle of the group.

Zhang Zhongmou walked along with Su Yu, a cigarette in his mouth. Suddenly, he exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "I wonder how things are at school now, is Lin Shi still alive? What a pity about teacher Meng Bo... I actually really liked her."

Su Yu said, "I believe in Mr. Lin. He’s a stubborn man and he will not fall easily. You know, sometimes, love can create miracles." He thought of Lin Shi’s affection for Meng Bo, strengthened believing that they must still be alive and well.

Zhang Zhongmou snorted, "What miracles can love create? Su Yu, has your love for somebody created a miracle? All I see is you banging your head against a brick wall."

Su Yu stuttered, scratched his head somewhat awkwardly, and surreptitiously glanced at Ning Yan’s back in front of him. He sighed quietly. No matter what he did, he couldn’t seem to close the distance between them. He had no way to get closer to her. It might be better to forget about his feelings for her sooner rather than later.

Following the path they took yesterday, the group moved quickly, not encountering any unexpected incidents. When they finally reached the slope, they saw a scene of chaos.

"Huh?" Zhou Birong seemed to see something and quickly rushed forward. The rest quickly noticed the messy footprints on the slope. The bodies of the group of zombies that had died there yesterday were torn to shreds, as if they had been mauled by a terrifying beast.

Zhang Zhongmou clicked his tongue, "Damn, even a zombie’s body gets eaten? These creatures really don’t discriminate when they are hungry."

Ma Ziye glanced at him, "Just like you."

"Hey, hey, Ms. Ma, what do you mean by that? What do you mean ’Just like me’? When have I ever been so desperate for food?"

Ma Ziye gave him a fierce glare and Zhang Zhongmou suddenly realized something, "Hey, I see. You’re in a bad mood. But you can’t take it out on me."

"I’ll take it out on you. What are you going to do about it?"

Zhang Zhongmou threw up his hands, "Take it out on me... just like a dog peeing."

Ma Ziye was furious. There was no reasoning with Zhang Zhongmou, so she took out a packet of instant noodles from her backpack, ripped open the packaging, and glared at Zhang Zhongmou as she viciously ate the noodles. The crunching sound was loud and her gaze made Zhang Zhongmou’s hair stand on end. It was as if she wasn’t eating noodles, but rather chewing on his flesh, which gave him goosebumps all over.

"Hey, hey, that’s not fair, stop, stop, I surrender, big sis, please don’t give me that look." Zhang Zhongmou immediately admitted defeat and begged for mercy.

Qin Jiagui and others looked around. Although the leftover zombie bodies were thoroughly destroyed, they didn’t find signs of other monsters in the surrounding area. What they cared more about was the body of Jennifer, buried in the soil. Luckily, it happened just yesterday, so they all remembered where Jennifer and Ding Shan’s bodies were buried.

Li Dong, Zhou Huakang, and others were not First-Level Black Iron Warriors, so they had shovels as weapons which were useful now. They got busy digging and before long, they unearthed Jennifer’s body.

"Thank goodness those monsters didn’t desecrate their bodies." Qin Jiagui sighed with relief, while Zhou Birong stepped aside. She didn’t want to see Ding Shan’s body again, so as to avoid further heartache.

Su Yu, Qin Jiagui, Zhao Shichang, Lei Rui, and several others crouched beside Jennifer’s body. Thinking of her diary left in the cave, and that all her three children died, her husband went crazy, and the mental stress she suffered each day. One could imagine the terror she faced.
