Chapter 3, The Night of Binding

Ye Zhiqiu smiled and said: "I couldn't catch any rabbits while dreaming, but I woke up early. By the way, you really sleep soundly."

"There was none before." Ye Zhiqiu denied

It was Ye Zhiqiu who was knocking on the tent. After seeing Jill carefully pull the tent door closed as she crawled out, she chuckled softly and said, "I called for half an hour. If you didn't want to get up, you should have told me in advance"

Nicole glanced at the rabbit in Ye Zhiqiu's hands and felt that it was completely unrelatable to the fluffy creature she had in mind, so she smiled and said: "Great, we have fresh meat to eat"

Jill sat somewhat bored on the roof of the car, the level of pollution in the Alaskan sky was relatively low, allowing her to see quite a few stars. After sitting for a while, listening to the sound of the wind by her ears and counting the stars in the sky, she unexpectedly fell asleep again

Where is the rope? Jill asked. Ye Zhiqiu's rope was a climbing rope that he had somehow acquired, which was not only sturdy but also lightweight, making it very useful to carry around.

Jill sighed; she had hoped that the tragedy was confined to the Anchorage area. However, various signs indicated that the situation was far more serious than she could imagine. It had been four months, and she had not seen any organized rescue efforts. The best estimate was that Anchorage had already been abandoned. If this speculation were true, then its sister city, Fort Richardson, was also in peril, as they were simply too close to each other.

Ye Zhiqiu shook his head: "I do not know, but at least, America is finished"

Jill glanced at him and shook her head, saying, "I thought Chinese men would be more reserved"

Ye Zhiqiu shrugged and said, "We are at the end of the world"

Uncertain whether the firelight would attract the attention of the zombies, they extinguished the campfire early. After sending Nicole back to the tent to sleep, Jill looked at Ye Zhiqiu and said, "Let's take turns on watch duty tonight."

Jill pulled the trigger, but no bullets were fired. The M1911 only emitted the clicking sound of an empty chamber. As she watched the zombie draw closer, Jill suddenly awakened in despair

The two individuals fell silent simultaneously until Nicole returned

Ye Zhiqiu nodded in agreement, then reminded her: "Sister, we still do not know what tomorrow will bring. Will there still be gentlemen in times like this?"

It was still pitch dark outside the tent, and someone was gently knocking on her tent while softly calling her name. Jill steadied herself, glanced at Nicole, who was still sleeping soundly, and quietly crawled out, holding Remington.

She was awakened by the crackling sound of burning wood. Upon opening her eyes, she saw that the sky had brightened. Nier had just emerged from the tent, sleepily surveying her surroundings. The campfire from yesterday had been rekindled, and the pile of wood appeared much larger than the day before, likely due to the addition of new timber.

Jill thought he was joking and waved his hand, saying, "Go away, I don't have a queen complex"

Jill was certainly too embarrassed to tell him that she was having a nightmare, and she also didn't believe that he had really been knocking for that long, so she waved her hand in annoyance and said, "A gentleman should not quibble with a lady over time"

She could not fully trust Ye Zhiqiu; the current situation was clearly a good test. She held the shotgun close to her chest, straining to hear the sounds outside the tent, speculating on what Ye Zhiqiu was doing. She did not know how long had passed when she unexpectedly fell asleep

Nicole stepped forward and asked, "What is this? Did you go hunting this morning?"

Nicole ran her fingers through her hair, ignoring her surroundings, as she rummaged through her toiletries, preparing to wash her face by the creek. Then the two of them saw Ye Zhiqiu returning from the creek, holding two small, skinned wild animals in her hands

"Alright, I understand." Jill waved her hand and said, "Go to sleep now. If you sleepwalk, I will wake you up."

Forget it. Ye Zhiqiu has his own concerns: "I don't even know what I would do. If you misunderstand me, I certainly don't want to be beaten to a pulp by a woman in a confused manner.

Jill is currently in a bad mood and does not have time to bicker with him. She waves him off and finds a blanket to wrap around herself as she climbs onto the roof of the pickup truck. It is high enough here, providing a broad view, and the roof of the P150 is spacious enough that she does not have to worry about falling off. The downside is that it is quite cold; the temperature in Alaska in May is not particularly high.

I don't have that either," Ye Zhiqiu knew what the "queen" in her mouth meant, and a strange feeling arose in her heart. She spread her hands and said, "I only asked you to tie me up, but I didn't give you a whip and candles.

The ingredients for dinner can be considered abundant, but the only regret for Ye Zhiqiu is that both of his female companions are clearly not skilled in cooking. After dinner, Nicole went to the creek to wash the dishes, and Jill looked at Ye Zhiqiu and asked, "Where are you sleeping?"

Upon seeing this, Jill hurried to check on Ye Zhiqiu, only to find that the place where he had been tied up yesterday was completely clean. Not only was Ye Zhiqiu absent, but even the ropes were gone. Jill leaped down from the car, and Nicole, seeing her, rubbed her eyes and asked, "Good morning. Where is Ye?"

Jill poked her head out in frustration; she was sitting on the roof of the car, and there were blind spots near the vehicle. Who knew when Ye Zhiqiu had slipped in beside her?

Jill was taken aback, vaguely recalling that it was indeed like this, yet feeling that something was amiss. She strained to remember and suddenly thought that she should have discarded her gun only after encountering this zombie. Thus, she reached for her holster and discovered that her M1911 had returned. With the gun in hand, she aimed at the zombie, only to see a hint of a mocking smile on its grotesque face.

I don't know either. Speaking of this, Ye Zhiqiu also felt a bit frustrated: "These past few days, I always find that I have moved after waking up."

Jill let out a hum. For the past few months, her mind had been in a state of tension. Now that there was a man by her side, although she was reluctant to admit it, the constant strain in her heart began to ease. Consequently, the fatigue that had accumulated during this time surged forth, unstoppable.

According to Jill's intention, Ye Zhiqiu should at least find a more comfortable place. However, Ye Zhiqiu did not appreciate this gesture, so Jill had no choice but to let him wrap himself in a blanket and lean against a tree by the car, then tie his upper body to the tree. Initially, she was worried that Ye Zhiqiu would not be able to sleep in this position, but soon discovered that he had actually fallen asleep.

Ye Zhiqiu held a roll of nylon rope in her hand, peering at herself as she raised her hand and said, "Do me a favor, tie me up."

Jill turned over, lying on the car roof to make herself more comfortable, and then asked with great interest: "What do you want to do?"

Ye Zhiqiu pointed to a tree beside the bonfire and said, "Unless you invite me into the tent"

Jill had a dream at https://www.hetushucomcom, in which she returned to that convenience store. Faced with those fierce eyes, she realized there was nowhere to retreat. She reached for her gun, only to find her holster empty. The zombie, looking at her in panic, suddenly spoke: "Did you not throw your gun in the hallway?"

Jill blinked and asked, "Do you have night wandering syndrome?"

She settled into a comfortable position and suddenly realized that Ye Zhiqiu was missing. Startled, she was about to search carefully when she heard Ye Zhiqiu calling her from beneath her.

Ye Zhiqiu smiled, carrying the rabbit as she walked towards the fire. Nicole went to wash her face by herself. Jill approached Ye Zhiqiu and whispered, "Can one really find a rabbit while sleepwalking?"

Ye Zhiqiu nodded and volunteered to keep watch for half the night. Jill agreed and went back to the tent to sleep.

Jill said, "I am also looking for him," and replied with irritation, "Are you looking for him as soon as you open your eyes? Why don't you two stay together tonight?"

Jill pondered for a moment, uncertain whether Ye Zhiqiu's statement was true. However, considering that tying him up might not be a bad idea, she jumped down from the car

"Do you really think the whole world is like this?" Jill asked after a moment of silence

Ye Zhiqiu smiled and said: "This is a wild rabbit. I set a few traps while on night watch last night, and this morning I found these two unfortunate ones."

Ye Zhiqiu shrugged and said, "I have put it away; your method of tying people up really needs some practice, it's too poor."
