Looking for a Husband in the Apocalypse

Ning Meng is a homebody to the extreme, an introverted little artist who only leaves the house thirty-five days out of the year.

Before the apocalypse, he made a comfortable living drawing spicy fan art and had a boyfriend he met online: 189 centimeters tall, with an eight-pack. His boyfriend treated him wonderfully, was gentle and considerate, and would get on a call every night to soothe him to sleep. Ning Meng couldn't have been happier.

The day before they were supposed to meet in person, the apocalypse broke out. The zombie virus swept across the globe, and human civilization collapsed completely.

Ning Meng lost contact with his boyfriend. After struggling at home for half a month, he put on a small backpack and set out to find him.

Xie Shiwei was an S-rank ability user. When the apocalypse arrived, he was away on a secret mission for his base. On his way back to the city, badly wounded, he learned that zombies had erupted and the city had fallen. He couldn't reach his little boyfriend, and immediately lost control, his ability surging out and indiscriminately attacking everything around him.

On the fifth day of leaving home to look for her boyfriend, Ning Meng got lost in a forest full of terrifying zombies. At night, as he hid in a hollow tree and secretly wiped away his tears, a man dropped from the sky, drenched in blood. Like a demon from hell, he hacked the zombies around him to pieces like butchered pigs.

Ning Meng covered his mouth, tears of fear rolling down his cheeks. At that perilous moment, he accidentally let out a sobbing hiccup.

The faint sound caught the man's attention. Ning Meng watched helplessly as the towering man approached the hollow tree, a long blade in hand.

He was so scared he nearly fainted. Curled up inside the tree, he whimpered, "Wah, wah, hubby, where are you?"

Ning Meng passed out before he could see the ghostly man regain a flicker of lucidity in his blood-red, mismatched eyes at the sound of his voice.

Bonus scene:

To keep his ability from leaking out of control and hurting Ning Meng, Xie Shiwei voluntarily put on a bite guard. But when he had an episode, being unable to touch Ning Meng only made him more agitated.

Eyes red, Xie Shiwei struggled to keep his terrifying expression in check as he reached toward Ning Meng, who was cowering in the corner of the bed. He coaxed, "Baby, come here."

Ning Meng hugged his knees. He hadn't even had a chance to refuse before the man forcefully pulled him into his arms...

"Baby, let's try one more time. Just one last time, okay?"

Ning Meng's eyes were swollen from crying, and his voice was hoarse. "You're lying. You already said that was the last time."

"Wah, wah, I really can't eat any more. Hubby, please let me go..."
