Ye Zhizhou shot him a disdainful look.

"Oh right, when I arrived you were already sleeping. Your sleeping posture is extremely cute, I can only watch you for half a night." Zhong Qiu jotted down the results before closing his notebook and bending sideways to hug him. "Xiao Chen you're so cute, I really want to take off your clothes."

Ye Zhizhou returned his declaration with a fist.

They bantered for a while before Zhong Qiu finally got serious. He briefly spoke about how he smelled the stink yesterday, that he went to catch the person but he disappeared, and how he quickly caught his companion instead. Afterwards, he concluded, "Failing to catch him is not because I was weaker, that person was strange."

With these words Ye Zhizhou already determined the man he's talking about was none other than Xu Yi, he fell into deep thoughts, his head bent down slightly. Zhong Qiu could smell the stink coming from the protagonist so he surely noticed something amiss with that spring water. In the original story, Zhong Qiu got interested in the protagonist after a traitor from their squad gave him some of the spring water, and that traitor... He flipped through the system's provided data and his brow creased. That traitor was actually Wang Gang. According to Wang Gang's defensive attitude of Xu Yi yesterday, the betrayal in the original story was simply too suspicious. Not only that, the protagonist unexpectedly forgave this traitor very quickly after he was saved. Before, when he read the plot, he cursed the protagonist's 'incomparable kindness' character setting in his heart, but now that he read it again, it was extremely suspicious.

He couldn't stop himself from looking up to Zhong Qiu's gentle handsome face, gingerly touching the other's eyes. The protagonist's space required special zombie corpses to upgrade a level. The Zhong Qiu right now was an unusual half-human half-zombie, he could be considered as the most unique being in this world. If Wang Gang's 'betrayal' was just a plan to obtain Zhong Qiu's body... His arms quickly tightened around Zhong Qiu. He felt somewhat scared inside.

Why did this world's protagonist setting deviate so much? Although it was the apocalypse, how can a human have such a cruel character to this extent?

Because he was thinking of some unpleasant things, his expression was ugly when he met the captive Qiu Xiangyu.

"So it was you." Qiu Xiangyu's hands and legs were restrained on the bed, he looked at him with cold eyes, "I didn't expect you to attack Xu Yi, villain!"

Ye Zhizhou sized up this male lead number one who had always been protecting Xu Yi by his side silently, looking at his gentle and reserved facial features to his too-white skin, and sneered, "Villain? You're the so-called top student, but how is it that your brain's not that good? Wei Xu's simple-minded but even he noticed something's off with Xu Yi. How can you, a genius with higher IQ than normal people, not see through it? Did you go stupid from the zombie virus he fed you?"

"I can't allow you to slander Xiao Yi!"

"Idiocy is an illness. Today I will treat you," Ye Zhizhou waved his hand and Tongtian passed him two complete replenishment pills. He walked up to him and pinched his mouth open, forcing the pills into his mouth. Then he wiped his hand on the man's clothes, smiling, "Seeing is believing. Let's go, I'll take you to watch a good show."

Almost the second he swallowed the pill, Qiu Xiangyu struggled in pain, his skin became red, blood vessels bulged out, beneath the pale white skin the fast flow of his blood can be seen. Ye Zhizhou rang the bell and called a nurse. His face kept calm as he looked at Qiu Xiangyu's veins bulging out more as he struggled. His heart felt heavy, the reaction was so big. Qiu Xiangyu's body might have been almost fully transformed by the spring's water, if they were just a bit later, whether the man's human appearance could be preserved or not is questionable.
