On the day of the doomsday, Su Wan watched with her own eyes as her boyfriend Lu Chen was swallowed by the zombie boss in order to save her.
She thought she had lost the love of her life.
But I didn't expect——
Three months later, a man who looked exactly like Lu Chen appeared in front of the gate of Hope Base. He gently called her "Wanwan", blocked the tide of corpses for her, blocked rumors for her, and even left his back to her in the most dangerous time.
Everyone in the base said: This Lu Chen is a hero, a savior, and Su Wan's redemption.
But Su Wan woke up again and again during the night——
His body temperature was always cold, and he never ate human food. He would occasionally show his sharp fangs, but the next second he would gently kiss the tears from her eyes.
What made her collapse even more was——
Among the zombies wandering outside the base, there is a low-level zombie that always follows her silently in the distance when she performs tasks.
It would not attack humans, but would use its broken body to block her claws when she was in danger.
It couldn't speak, but when she cried, it would make a low growl that was almost like a whimper, which was very similar to the sound Lu Chen made when he coaxed her in the past.
Until the truth breaks out:
The zombie boss that devoured Lu Chen evolved advanced intelligence after absorbing his body, transformed into his appearance, blended in with humans, learned to love, learn to protect, and even began to refuse to bite people.
However, Lu Chen's soul snatched the body of the lowest zombie at the moment of death and turned into a monster that everyone yelled at. He wandered outside the base day and night, just to watch her safety from a distance.
One is the "fake Lu Chen" who occupies his body but becomes more and more human-like.
One is the "True Lu Chen" who guards his soul but can only become a zombie.
Su Wan stood between the two "hims" and asked with tears streaming down her face:
"You... Who is my Lu Chen?"
——
The cruelest love in the world is probably:
I love you with my body, you love me with your soul,
And we can no longer hug.
