Someone stepped forward to remind Yan Jie, who seemed lost in thought, that it was time to go, but Tang Ye held him back: "Hold on, he's probably recalling something. Let him rest."
"Alright."
The person Tang Ye had stopped stepped aside. Tang Ye noticed a flicker of light in Yan Jie's eyes. When he met Chen Chaoyang and his group again, everyone excluding Li Xiaoyan had changed drastically, almost becoming unrecognizable. Chen Chaoyang had once been a life-loving, Buddha-like youth. The sight of his loud sobbing in the room was heart-wrenching, his cries muffled and frantic, resembling a wild beast that had just broken free from its cage. His once amused smile was now replaced with hatred towards the world.
In his eyes, Tang Ye found no trace of hope that was characteristic of a human.
As for Yan Jie, a seemingly moralistic and slightly chivalrous young man, was the reason Tang Ye didn't kill him when he discovered that Tang Ye himself was a zombie at the Yindan Base.
