Chapter 18

"Wow, Lian, How many did you kill?" I asked as I looked around the corpses around Ye Lian. She stepped towards me and seized my shoulder in possessiveness. Then, she raised her other hand while using it to show me how many she slaughtered.

"You killed at least 112? That's amazing!" I complimented her with a smile. She seems to be happy and is very eager to know how many I have killed. Her facial expression is showing it. I should give her a chance. I know she absolutely wants to be spoiled.

"I only killed 110... You win," I said with an awkward smile, but seeing her smiling cheerfully, it's all worth it to lose this time. Ye Lian closed her eyes and lifted her face, requesting for a kiss again. As we were about to kiss, the girl that is fighting with us teased us.

"You two are compatible with each other, just by your appearance. But you should do that once we are in a safer place."

I did not listen to her and pecked Ye Lian's lips and told her we would continue later. I have to catch up and not let Ye Lian assume.

Anyhow, we walked towards the girl and asked. "It seems like you were in a pinch, huh." We were somewhat away from the bus, and as we walked towards there, we continue to have a conversation.

She nodded her head and answered, "Without you there. We would already be a walking corpse like them." She said and smacked a zombie that is on the ground, trying to seize her legs.

I stopped for a moment and stared at her. She also halted and asked, "What?"

"Thinking about it, you could have survived if you want too by yourself." It got me curious about why she did not leave them because most humans think for themselves if their lives are on the line.

Instead of an answer, she made a little smile, and just turned her back away, marched towards the bus. She's smart and strong. Also, there are still people like her, huh. She decided to stay and fight and not abandoning the people with her. Admirable.

The girl stood outside the bus door, and people started to come out. A lot of them, to be exact. While I'm letting them talk and did not introduce myself yet, I walked towards Alice and Wang Lin.

"You two... you showed a one-sided fight."

"Are you praising me?" I teased.

"N-no... I'm cheering, Ye Lian." Slanting my head, I pondered and observe Wang Lin's reactions right now. She is very flushed, and as I look at Alice because it is the only two of them here, little Alice was giggling while covering her mouth with both of her hands. Did this cute creature said something to Wang Lin?

"You are not the leader here!"

While we had a happy atmosphere here, we suddenly heard a yell from a girl that grabbed our attention. She was holding a mop while pointing it someone.

The girl has long, orangy-brown hair with bangs hanging over her face with two strands sticking out above the rest of her hair, and a small, single ponytail on the back of her head leaves the rest of her hair long and reddish-brown eyes. She also has a slender figure and ample breasts.

The man she is pointing is already giving me bad vibes. Why? His eyes only landed at me for only a second before his gaze landed at the girls with me when his eyes wandered at our group. Even little Alice is not spared.

He is wearing glasses with a thin frame that even the girl who fought with us can snap her like a twig.

"As the only male teacher here, I feel responsible for your safety!" He started to spoke while using his hands like he is acting in a theatre.

I always encounter people like him in my recent world, especially government officials, with their false advertisement and fake promises.

"Is that guy having brain damage? Words cant kill zombies, you know?" Wang Lin spoke while pointing at the large group near the bus.

"Onii-Chan, why are they fighting? They should help each other, right?" Little Alice tucked my sleeve while facing me with a concerned expression.

I kneeled to match her gaze while placing my hand on her head. "You see, Alice. Some people have damage in their minds like what Wang Lin said a moment ago. So you shouldn't believe a guy like him, okay?"

Alice nodded her head while showing a modest smile, answered back to me. "I understand Gabriel Onii-chan. I only trust you and Lian and Lin Onee-chan."

Pinching her nose, I replied with a smile. "That's the spirit!" Her answer made me happy, but I should really teach her who will be trusted or not.

"You look like someone trying to kidnap a child..." Wang Lin smirked teasingly.

"Not unless if I'm kidnapping you," I said while closing our distance, gradually lowering my head until our nose brushed.

"Dont tease someone. If you cant, withstand a counter-attack." Her face reddened like a tomato as she tried her best to look calm.

"Oh? They are walking towards here." Wang Lin is about to lash out, but the group is walking towards us, led by the girl who fought with us a while ago.
