"I'm exhausted…"
Chen Yi tore off his camouflage uniform, gloves, and mask with trembling fingers, then staggered to the living room and collapsed onto the sofa, weariness etched across his face.
"Meow… let's rest for a bit."
He spoke weakly to Sister Miao, feeling as though his entire body had been drained. His arms, legs—even his bones—felt limp and hollow.
This weak physique is truly disappointing.
"Mhm."
Li Miao'er swiftly removed her own camouflage gear and sat down beside Chen Yi. Her cute, pretty face was beaded with glistening sweat, and her slender fingers had gone pale from exertion.
Yet, she felt she still had strength left to fight—only her arms were a bit sore, and her heart was beating wildly.
Her whole body remained in a state of exhilaration.
Li Miao'er gazed at her brother's stunning face—his tempting lips, exhausted expression, and pitifully delicate aura. He's so beautiful… I really want to do something naughty.
A sudden thought crossed her mind: Brother must be too tired to resist right now… should I take this chance and just make him mine?
Gulp.
"Brother, let me give you a massage to ease the fatigue!"
Unable to resist, Li Miao'er slipped her small hand under his shirt. Such a perfect opportunity—of course she couldn't let it pass.
Chen Yi glanced sideways at Sister Meow. Her pretty face was flushed with an unnatural blush, and that lecherous expression was back.
"Meow, don't touch me. Can you smell the stench in here? Can you act normal for once?"
He pushed his restless little sister away and stood up from the sofa. Seriously… this is too much.
"Hm?"
Li Miao'er sniffed the air, only now noticing the foul odor filling the room. Combined with her own sweat-drenched body, it was indeed rather unpleasant.
"Brother, let's take a bath first~"
With a sly smirk, Li Miao'er hopped off the sofa. She gently hooked one arm around his neck, while the other forcefully lifted his calf—directly scooping him up in a princess carry.
"Ah! Li Miao'er, put me down right now!"
Chen Yi's handsome face instantly flushed crimson. Being carried like this by a girl—the intense embarrassment made him frown and struggle.
"Brother, don't squirm~ This is how the princess carries the prince in fairy tales, you know?"
Li Miao'er walked toward the bathroom with a satisfied smile, pushed open the tightly shut door, and was greeted by a fresh, floral scent.
Breathing in the clean aroma, her lingering tension eased considerably—only to be replaced by even greater excitement.
She stepped into the bathroom with a smirk and locked the glass door behind them.
"Brother, you're drenched in sweat—you must be really hot. You'll cool right off after a bath~"
Li Miao'er smiled as she carried her brother into the bathtub and turned on the solar-powered faucet.
Time for a nice hot bath together. That fantasy I've been longing for can finally come true.
"Meow… what are you trying to do?"
Chen Yi frowned, sitting in the bathtub. He couldn't figure it out—could it be that Sister Miao plans to force herself on me?
"Brother, I want to bathe with you. Don't be mad, okay~"
As she spoke, Li Miao'er swiftly removed her own T-shirt and shorts.
Hearing Sister Miao's words, Chen Yi couldn't help but freeze. He stood up and softly reasoned, "Miao'er, you're grown up now. You can't bathe with boys."
"Hmph! Brother, I'm not grown up yet—I can bathe with you!"
Without waiting for Chen Yi's refusal, Li Miao'er leaped into the bathtub, wrapped her arms around his, and pulled him down into the water with her.
Li Miao'er looped her small arms around his neck, holding his own arms tightly against her, making it impossible for him to struggle.
Surrounded by her rich, alluring fragrance, he met her clear, deep, mesmerizing starry eyes—
Mmm…
Li Miao'er lowered her head and kissed his thin lips, her beautiful eyes gleaming with excitement.
She gazed at him brazenly, wanting him to feel her unwavering affection.
How shameless!
Chen Yi had finally had enough—he bit down hard.
"Owow! That hurts!"
Li Miao'er released the beauty in her arms, covering her mouth with a pained expression. This isn't how it goes in the novels!
Sigh…
"Meow, if you want to kiss me, at home is one thing—but this is someone else's house. Can you please not do this?"
Chen Yi stood up, took a deep breath, and turned on the faucet to splash cold water on his slightly flushed face.
"There are still several zombies barricading the door outside. Even if you want to get romantic, shouldn't we deal with the danger first?"
"Hmph! As expected, I can't afford to be distracted by romance. Men will only slow down my blade!"
Li Miao'er pouted her cherry lips, fuming inwardly.
Seems I messed up… I shouldn't have bullied brother in an environment like this. Men prefer places where they feel safe. Someone else's home really isn't ideal.
Li Miao'er stared at her brother's seductive, sexy figure, licking her pink lips thoughtfully.
Chen Yi put his clothes back on and took a quick rinse with warm water. Glancing at his little sister, who was now lying against the bathtub edge and staring at him, he spoke coldly:
"Meow, finish your bath properly. I'll go find us some clean clothes."
"Oh~"
Li Miao'er kicked her little feet and began swimming in the water. She'd switch to a gentler approach—let her brother gradually fall for her. She couldn't just force herself on him to satisfy her own urges.
Chen Yi pinched his nose and walked back to the living room. The two elderly bodies on the floor had been dead for some time.
Five dismembered zombies were still piled against the door, and there was no sound of zombie footsteps from outside.
Peering through the peephole, he confirmed there were indeed no zombies right outside—they'd most likely run upstairs.
Rip—
Chen Yi pulled two plastic bags over his hands, quickly sliced open the zombies' chests with a dagger, and retrieved the energy crystals.
Five zombies, but only four crystals. It seems destroying the heart when killing them also shatters the crystal.
Chen Yi took the crystals to the kitchen to wash off the blood. Four identical nine-faceted diamonds gleamed brightly.
I'll wait for Miao'er to finish bathing before giving them to her. First, let's see what this household has.
He stuffed the crystals into his pocket and pushed open the half-closed wooden door to the master bedroom.
He first drew back the heavy curtains, then rummaged around the room for a while.
The closet held plenty of clothes. He randomly picked two unopened sets to replace his damp attire.
Inside the closet, he also found an antique wooden chest and five luxury-brand leather handbags.
This family must have been well-off.
"Brother, what are you up to?"
Li Miao'er trotted over, her curious eyes blinking, her body emanating a strong rose fragrance.
"Looking for anything useful. Meow, come here and help me pry this chest open."
Chen Yi smiled and sat cross-legged on the bed. The handbags were filled with cosmetics and banknotes—truly valuable items were surely kept in the chest.
"Brother, wait a sec~" Li Miao'er ran to fetch the machete.
"Meow, this kind of lock isn't very sturdy. Just force it open with a good push."
Chen Yi lifted the lid of the chest slightly, signaling for Sister Miao to wedge the machete in and pry.
Li Miao'er shoved the machete blade straight into the seam, then pressed down hard. With a sharp crack, the central lock flew off.
Whoosh—
Chen Yi and Sister Miao worked together to lift the wooden chest and dump its contents onto the bed.
"Wow! So much cash! And gold jewelry too!"
Li Miao'er exclaimed excitedly, her watery eyes curving into delighted crescents as she gazed at the glittering jewels scattered across the bed.
