Immortal in The Apocalypse

When Ren Jiaxiang thought that he and his friends could only hide like mice forever, he smiled sadly and then raised his eyes. He looked up at the gloomy winter sky and said, "Roar, Roar roar." My friends, when I stopped them, took the opportunity to run away.

As soon as he said this, everyone else grabbed his hands tightly. Wu Yichen looked into his eyes and said, "Roar, ho!" Elder Brother Jiaxiang, I will not leave you alone!

Before Ren Jiaxiang had time to speak, a man suddenly rushed out from the base wearing a thick red cloak. Everyone was startled by the man’s sudden movement. Out of instinct, they all grabbed Ren Jiaxiang and pulled him back. The other zombies were standing in front of him and were ready for a battle.

Standing not far from them, Ren Yuan looked at Ren Jiaxiang’s handsome face in disbelief. That face was very familiar to him because he had seen a similar face for years. He took out a necklace, opened the pendant, and looked at the yellowed picture inside.

Seeing the similarity between the zombie in front of him and the little boy in the photo, Ren Yuan tightened his grip on the pendant and asked with a trembling voice: "Are you Jiaxiang?"

The zombies were surprised when they heard his question. This is the first time humans don’t attack them and even recognize them. Ren Jiaxiang patted Wu Yichen on the shoulder and said, "Roar. Hoo hoo." It’s okay. He seems to know me.

After hearing his words, Wu Yichen and others stepped aside and let him go. Standing face to face with Ren Yuan, the similarities were visible on both faces. After a long silence, Ren Yuan asked, "Jiaxiang, do you still remember me? I am your paternal cousin. When you visited me in the past, you always called me Elder Brother Yuan."

Ren Jiaxiang shook his head as an answer while staring at Ren Yuan warily. Although he felt that the person in front of him was familiar, after living under the torture of humans for many years, Ren Jiaxiang no longer dared to trust humans easily. Also, he was kidnapped when he was six years old, and the moment he turned into a zombie, all memories of when he was human were lost.

Ren Yuan saw that Ren Jiaxiang didn’t remember him, so he opened the pendant and showed him the photo. The other zombies were shocked when they saw this photo.

Tan Yixi pointed to the photo and said in surprise: "Roar, roar!" Elder Brother Jiaxiang, that was your face when we first met!

Hearing what she said, Ren Jiaxiang stared at the yellowed photo for a long time. Then he looked at Ren Yuan, pointed at the pendant, and then pointed at himself. Ren Yuan knew what he meant from his actions, nodded quickly, and said, "That is right. This is your photo. This photo was taken the year you were kidnapped."

Looking at Ren Jiaxiang’s cold eyes, Ren Yuan said, "I know you don’t believe me, but I can prove to you that you are indeed my younger brother. You have a bird-shaped birthmark on your lower back. When you were born, your father saw the birthmark and named you Xiang. He wishes that you could fly like a bird and live freely."

As soon as these words came out, Ren Jiaxiang was stunned. He lifted his shirt and said, "Roar, ho." Yichen, help me see if there are any birthmarks there.

Wu Yichen nodded, glanced at his lower waist, and saw a bird-shaped black birthmark. He looked at Ren Jiaxiang and said, "Hoo, ho." Elder Brother Jiaxiang, you do have a bird-shaped birthmark on your lower waist.

After hearing what he said, Ren Jiaxiang put down his shirt and looked at Ren Yuan. The corner of his lips lifted stiffly as he thought: ’What an irony. My father gave me this name in the hope that I could live freely, but instead, I grew up locked underground in a secret laboratory.’

Although he had many questions for Ren Yuan, Ren Jiaxiang knew that Ren Yuan did not understand what he was saying. He glanced at the thick snowy ground, then squatted down and wrote something.

Seeing what he wrote on the ground, Ren Yuan took a few steps closer and wanted to take a closer look. As soon as he took a step, Ren Jiaxiang instantly jumped back out of defensive instinct. Looking at his cold eyes full of murderous intent, Ren Yuan was shocked.

He stood motionless for a long time before opening his lips and muttering in a low voice: "Jiaxiang, what have you experienced in these years? Why does this happen? This is all my fault. I shouldn’t have left you alone to pick up the ball that day."

Wu Yichen saw Ren Yuan standing there, looking at their leader with a sad face, and asked, "Roar? Ho?" What happened to him? Why is he staring at Elder Brother Jiaxiang like that?

Tan Yuxi shook her head and said, "Hoo ho." I don’t know.

Seeing that Ren Yuan was just staring at him, Ren Jiaxiang pointed to the ground. After controlling his emotions, Ren Yuan looked at the ground and read the words on it. After a few seconds, he asked, "You came here not to attack us, but to ask for help?"

As soon as these words came out, all the zombies nodded. Looking at their dirty bodies and clothes covered with black blood and scars, Ren Yuan clenched his hands tightly and asked again: "Are those who are hunting you part of the secret laboratory?"

This time, Ren Jiaxiang quickly wrote something on the ground again. Ren Yuan asked after reading the question on the ground, "How do I know about them?"

Ren Jiaxiang nodded, and then Ren Yuan said, "Because before you guys came here, a zombie named Lei Haozhan also came to us asking for help with more than fifty high-ranked zombies. They said that they were chased by people from a secret organization and needed to find a place to hide."
