Chapter 9 My sister woke up

"Damn it! I only made two cuts! Can he really die from this?"

Zhou Yan looked at Zhang Limin's face. He hadn't checked on him for a minute, and good grief, his big round face looked just like a purple eggplant...

Scared, he immediately scrambled a meter away and pulled out his pistol, aiming it at Zhang Limin's head.

"He isn't going to mutate, is he?"

He cautiously leaned in to inspect him and discovered that the cuts he had made on his leg had turned a necrotic, purple-black color.

Looking at the dagger in his hand, Zhou Yan suddenly remembered that a few days ago, an injured crow had landed on the window of the guest bedroom, and he had stabbed it to death with this same dagger...

"Damn! It's that poisonous???"

Looking at the "purple eggplant" tied up in a heap at his feet, Zhou Yan shook his head and gave a bitter smile. He looked helpless, but in reality, he was truly out of options.

The captive he had just obtained had been poisoned to death by him like this.

With no other choice, he dragged the corpse to the window and threw it straight out.

Watching him free-fall and splash into the water below, he felt reassured and returned to the living room.

Su Yanyue was in the guest bedroom tidying up the sisters' clothes, while Zhou Yan returned to the master bedroom to check the temperature of the "Sleeping Beauty" on the bed.

After taking medicine and drinking so much water, her temperature had returned to a normal range.

Zhou Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Yanqiu was sleeping in a daze, her whole body feeling warm and cozy; she even thought she was already dead.

Her small hand subconsciously groped around, wanting to see if her younger sister was there.

After feeling around for a long time, she found nothing...

Su Yanqiu's eyelashes fluttered a few times; she had woken up.

But at the same time, she also realized that under the quilt, she seemed to be completely naked...

Did her younger sister wipe her body?

She struggled to open her heavy eyelids. The long period of high fever and fainting had made her vision very blurry; she could only vaguely feel someone beside her gently wiping the sticky sweat from her body with a wet towel.

"Mm..." She let out a soft, delicate moan, looking around the unfamiliar room with a trace of confusion.

However, the response she received was a low, magnetic male voice, one that was exceptionally familiar: "You're awake? How are you feeling? Is there anywhere else that feels uncomfortable?"

Su Yanqiu instantly sobered up. She looked around the strange bedroom in terror, and what terrified her even more was why there was a man in the room!

She subconsciously hugged the quilt tightly, trying to place a "seal" over her body.

"Don't be afraid..."

As her vision cleared, Su Yanqiu finally noticed that the man in front of her was Zhou Yan.

Even she herself didn't realize how obvious her subconscious relaxing motion was.

"Ah! Xiao Yan? Why is it you? Where's my sister?!"

Her sister wasn't there, and this wasn't the home she was familiar with. In that instant, countless terrifying fantasies constantly emerged in her mind.

Su Yanqiu cried out in alarm. She wanted to go find her sister and subconsciously tried to stand up, but because her body was too weak, she fell directly to the side of the bed.

Zhou Yan hurriedly reached out to support her, his brows slightly furrowed: "You can't move right now. You haven't eaten anything for days, so just lie down for a while and rest for a few days before getting out of bed!"

Ignoring her objections, he pressed her back onto the bed.

Completely naked and unable to find her clothes nearby, Su Yanqiu really didn't dare to move for the moment...

"Your sister is in the living room..."

Su Yanqiu struggled a few times, only to find that she couldn't summon even a shred of strength in her body.

Especially Zhou Yan's palm, which was warm and strong; when it touched her bare skin, she couldn't help but shiver.

It was a complex feeling mixed with shame and an inexplicable palpitation.

"You... I... where is this?" Su Yanqiu's voice trembled, her cheeks flushed red from shyness and a trace of anger, clutching the quilt tightly until her knuckles turned white from the excessive force.

"This is my home..."

Upon hearing this, Su Yanqiu panicked. If her sister saw this scene, how could she explain it?

"This is my home. This morning..."

After hearing what Zhou Yan said, Su Yanqiu was stunned...

Her sister had actually... to save her, she had actually...

Well, although her sister really liked Zhou Yan, this matter might not necessarily be a bad thing for her...

Then what did that make her now?

Part of her sister's "dowry"?

Su Yanqiu raised her eyes, somewhat dazed, and sized up the boy in front of her.

Taking in one more person meant providing one more portion of food...

In this era, food was ten million times more precious than gold!

But if she were to say she wouldn't accept his protection...

She thought of the women in the building who were coveted for their beauty, thought of the Fifth Uncle her sister had told her about, and thought of the naked women who had died in the Fire escape...

Su Yanqiu had a very clear understanding of this world. In this apocalyptic environment where order had collapsed and morality was lost, dignity was a luxury, and survival was the only truth!

All of her business skills were probably useless in this era...

The only thing that truly belonged to her and could still be regarded as a "resource" in this era seemed to be her own body, which had just recovered from a high fever.

Su Yanyue pushed open the door, interrupting their silent staring contest...

"Sister!! You're finally awake!"

Su Yanyue's voice was filled with extreme surprise and joy; her hanging heart finally settled down...

She threw herself onto the bed, hugging her sister tightly and refusing to let go...

She was truly afraid that her sister wouldn't have made it...

If she were left all alone, how could she go on living!

Su Yanqiu tried to sit up, but was held down by Zhou Yan.

He turned to Su Yanyue and said:

"You keep your sister company and talk. I'll go get you some food..." Zhou Yan turned and went to the living room.

He wanted to leave these sisters some time to communicate, and also some time to make a decision.

Zhou Yan left, and the room suddenly fell into silence.

Older sister Su Yanqiu gently stroked her younger sister's cheek, her tone soft: "Yue'er... what's going on?"
