"Yanshu, let me go first, let's talk it out. You're acting so scary all of a sudden."

Li Muchen raised his hand and pushed him gently.

Although he really liked him hugging him, it was obvious that Mo Yanshu had some problems right now. Matters of the relationship could wait, but he had to grasp his brother's psychology first.

The inkstone and the book were not moved.

The minty scent at the tip of his nose and the warmth of the people around him made him extremely greedy and unwilling to let go.

Due to the habit he had developed over a long period of time in the apocalypse, he slept very lightly and woke up almost as soon as the rain started.

He tossed and turned but couldn't fall asleep. He was afraid of waking up Li Muchen, so he simply got up and stood by the window, watching the heavy rain outside.

After the end of the world began, it was almost always cloudy and rainy, and the sound of rain would often make one feel annoyed after listening to it for a long time.

But now, he is not alone...

"Mo Yanshu! Let me go first! Who taught you to touch me all the time? Hey! Are you listening to me?"

The sound in his ears was a bit noisy, but he didn't find it annoying, but rather pleasant.

Letting go of the person in his arms, he sat on the bed and looked at him steadily, saying softly: "Sorry... I had a nightmare again..."

Actually he didn't.

But after Li Muchen left in his previous life, he had nightmares almost every day and never had a good night's sleep again.

The heavy rain now seemed to have become the switch for a new round of nightmare, and he couldn't help but worry about the future of the two of them.

Mo Yanshu wished he could tie Li Muchen to his side, not letting him leave for even a second, so that he could only rely on him and only care about him.

But he can't do that now...

In the darkness, the sound of rain outside the window became louder and louder.

Hearing Mo Yanshu's slightly aggrieved voice, Li Muchen's heart softened, and he raised his hand and patted the other's shoulder: "Hey, brother is here, what are you afraid of! Even if a ghost comes, you have to call me Master Li."

There was a hint of complacency in his tone, and he was quite proud of his own Taoism.

As Mo Yanshu listened to his words, the uneasiness and anger in his heart were gradually soothed.

"Yeah." He replied softly.

"I'm not sleepy anymore." Li Muchen said as he turned over and got out of bed.

The sound of footsteps was heard and Mo Yanshu looked at his back.

Then, there was a "click" sound and the dim light came on.

The entire old district library was silent, with only the sound of rain echoing in the space.

Fortunately, the room they were staying in was not very big. It should have been used as accommodation for the teacher on duty. The boundless sense of emptiness and loneliness was not evident here. Instead, it made the two of them feel more cozy living in this small room.

Li Muchen was shocked by his own thoughts. He quickly withdrew his thoughts, walked to the window, and stared at the heavy rain outside in a daze.

Mo Yanshu didn't say anything, just looked at his back.

For a moment, the room fell into silence.

The rain was getting heavier, and the strong wind blew the raindrops against the glass windows, condensing into a stream of water and slowly flowing downwards.

I don’t know how long it took, Li Muchen turned around and walked to the small table and turned on the old radio again.

"A city was hit by heavy rain again at night, and the water level has exceeded the warning line. The Hydrological Bureau of A city issued a special water situation forecast overnight. Due to the continuous rainfall, the water level at the mouth of Bailing River is expected to continue to rise in the next two days. Citizens are requested to be prepared and stay at home unless necessary."

"Affected by Typhoon Kamaru, a No. 5 flood has formed in Mushan District and is advancing downstream. Citizens, please do not panic, do not approach the riverside, and evacuate the downstream area in an orderly manner with the stationed troops..."

Although it was night, reports about floods continued to come in one after another.

Suddenly! A bright flash of lightning illuminated half the sky, followed by a thunderbolt.

"Crack!"

The next second, the radio signal suddenly became unstable, and the "crackling" sound of electricity gradually replaced the sound of the broadcast, which was very harsh.

Soon, no matter which channel Li Muchen tuned to, all that was left was the sound of electric current, and he could no longer hear the broadcast.

Li Muchen seemed to be thinking about something and raised his hand to turn off the radio.

On the desk was the drawing that Mo Yanshu had drawn earlier, which was a rough timeline.

After staring at the time for a while, he turned around and asked, "Yanshu, how long will we stay here... How many days will the blood rain last?"

"I don't remember." Mo Yanshu said slowly, "It depends on the situation."

In fact, he was not unaware of this matter, but he had been reborn four times, and the duration of the blood rain was different each time, so it was difficult to confirm what the cause was.

Rather than letting Li Muchen doubt what he said, it would be better to tell him directly that he didn't know about it.

"Then I have a question. If they haven't turned into zombies after being exposed to the bloody rain, does that mean they actually have antibodies in their bodies? If we study it, maybe we can develop a vaccine..."

"Too optimistic." Mo Yanshu frowned, looking a little more fierce.

"But..." Before Li Muchen could finish his words, Mo Yanshu had already walked to his side.

Mo Yanshu pointed to the approximate time period of zombies' arrival after the blood rain ended on the paper, and said in a deep voice: "The infection is more like random. Professionals are scattered everywhere. Once bitten, I haven't seen anyone survive."

Except himself...

But in a sense, he couldn't be considered alive now, it was more like a ghost that had wandered for four lifetimes and found his harbor again...

"But……"

“How can one research a vaccine if there are only two people, even if they are experts?”

As he spoke, Mo Yanshu glanced out the window.

The night was as dark as ink and the rain was pouring down.

"You're right..." Li Muchen lowered his eyes and sighed.

"Don't worry. In our previous life...in our dream, we have already built a city. Vaccine research should be much easier in the future..."

"Yanshu...can you tell me how I died..."

"Yeah." Mo Yanshu opened his mouth, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly didn't know what to say.

"Hmm?" There was a hint of confusion in Li Muchen's eyes. He looked at Mo Yanshu and tilted his head.

"I don't remember." Mo Yanshu looked away.

The rain falls gently.

"Huh?" Li Muchen raised his eyebrows and widened his eyes. "How can you not remember? You don't care about me at all... Humph, you still talk about protecting me? You don't even know how I died, how can you protect me..."

He chattered incessantly, but every word he said struck into Mo Yanshu's heart, causing him pain.

It was indeed wrong to say that he didn't know, but he really didn't know how to tell Li Muchen about this issue.

In fact, the reasons in each life are different.

He never saw his death...

So after the previous four lives, he came to a conclusion.

Li Muchen might be absolutely safe only if he stayed by his side...
