After what had happened, I gently nudged Long Tianfeng to show him I was all right.
Long Tianfeng looked me over doubtfully before slowly letting go of my arm.
I moved my whole body around, then raised my head. I had barely said to Long Tianfeng, "See? I'm fine, aren't I?" when
Long Tianfeng suddenly shouted!
"Watch out behind you!"
Before I could even register what he meant, a tearing pain shot through my right shoulder, and a tremendous force suddenly surged up from behind,
knocking me to the ground!
Thud! I could practically feel my ribs screaming. The impact made my vision go black, only for
the pain in my shoulder to jolt me awake again!
The sensation in my shoulder and the heavy breathing told me something had bitten me. I wanted to turn around and look, but
a wave of dizziness washed over me, and
with my body pinned down, I was helpless.
"MOTHERFUCKER!!!!!"
Just when I felt like I was about to die, that easygoing guy who always wore a smile, Long Tianfeng...
actually lost his temper?
I had known Long Tianfeng for over a decade. Ever since we met, I had hardly ever seen an angry
look on his face. There had only been a handful of times,
after some older students bullied me, when he charged at them like a madman. One against three... He beat those three older
students until they begged for mercy,
and only then did he stop.
It looked like... he had lost his temper again today.
I had no idea how terrifying Long Tianfeng could be when he was angry, but after that incident, he became famous. Even
a lot of the older students would habitually call Long Tianfeng
"Brother Long" whenever they saw him.
I always teased him, saying, "Forget being some official's son. You ought to be a gangster instead."
As for... why Long Tianfeng never looked at me when he lost his temper, I had no idea. But that was also why
I had never
seen his angry face head-on.
This time, though, I actually forgot about the thing biting me from behind. Instead, I struggled to lift my head and look at
Long Tianfeng as he charged toward me.
Tian Feng... you really do look like a demon when you're angry.
The thought murmured through my mind as the strength gradually drained out of my body. All I could do was press my face against the scorching road, utterly unable
to struggle anymore.
With a rush of urgent footsteps, the weight on my back suddenly lifted, but an even more intense tearing pain ripped through my right shoulder.
I let out a muffled groan. At the same time, a dark
shape landed beside me with a thud...
Its face was covered in blood, its eyes blood-red. With a face like some hideous demon, it was now eating something...
Was that... the flesh from my shoulder?
Blood loss gradually clouded my mind. Although I could no longer make out much of anything, I could still hear Long Tianfeng's
frantic cries...
I wanted to answer...
I...
That was where my memories ended. When I woke up again, I was in this room.
I touched my right shoulder, where I remembered being bitten... The skin was smooth and supple, cool and flawless as jade. The sensation beneath my fingertips was
so unfamiliar...
Fine, so I was a virgin! So what?!
I lowered my hand in defeat. I had never gotten to touch a beautiful woman before because I hadn't had what it took... Now I had finally touched a
woman... and I still didn't have what it took!!
Wait! I'd checked upstairs, but what about downstairs...
Instinctively, I reached down to grab... The emptiness left me with very mixed feelings.
I was relieved I hadn't become a woman with a dick, at least physically...
But then I sadly remembered that my little buddy of over twenty years was just gone... Gone... Gone!
All he had left me... was that elusive, phantom... ache in the balls!
And now... that faint sadness had turned into...
an ache in the tits!
At that thought, I reached up and viciously grabbed the two extra lumps of fat on my chest, only to feel a burst of pain
that made me bare my teeth.
"Hiss..."
I sucked in a sharp breath, my hands faltering as I switched from grabbing to rubbing...
I had to admit, this ache in the tits was a pretty novel sensation too.
Sigh...
After a couple of rubs, a tingling sensation spread from my chest. I snatched my hands away as though I had been electrocuted. Was that a sense of loss?
Or perhaps...
What rotten luck!
Forget the gender issue for now. Irritated, I brushed aside the silky hair hanging beside my cheeks, crouched down, and closed
my eyes...
I had no idea how much time passed before moonlight swept across my closed eyelids and woke me. Alarm jolted through me. There were still
zombies outside. I couldn't
fall asleep now. I looked up at the sky. The moon had moved to my right, which meant I was probably facing due south...
So, judging by the moon's current position, was it already past midnight?
Sitting here wasn't going to solve anything. I should head home first... I remembered I had a Great Black Eagle Mechanical Crossbow.
My good friend
Long Tianfeng had gotten it for me. After all, the thing counted as contraband. Only those rich kids and officials' kids could mess around with stuff like that. Although
I liked it too, I never
dared take it out.
If someone reported me, it would be serious.
Unlike in the movies, those zombies didn't run as slowly as I had imagined... They might even be a little faster
than an ordinary person.
I had seen that for myself when I crouched down on the balcony earlier.
I put my phone back in my bag, switched off, of course. In this situation, every bit of battery saved counted. Who
knew whether there would ever be electricity again?
*Still... I remembered the guy next door, the one who loved traveling, had a solar charger. He'd even
shown it off to me once when we ran into each other.*
If I could get my hands on that, I wouldn't have to worry about having no power in the future.
That could all wait. Right now, I needed to figure out how to leave this place.
I had fallen about three stories. No wonder the impact made my vision go black. If I hadn't caught
the bedsheet at the last second, shifting my center of gravity
slightly inward and taking some force out of the fall, I would either have splattered on the ground or
been knocked unconscious.
After all, three stories was still pretty high for an ordinary person.
I looked left and right. The windows on either side were at least a meter and a half away, while the window directly above me... was only
about two meters up. So... should I
go up or head to one side?
The windows to either side weren't close, and there were practically no holds. If I tried going sideways, the most likely outcome was... I would fail to
grab the balcony and fall straight down into a meat
"I'd better check above..." I glanced at the indistinct dark shapes below. I didn't want to die that horribly.
About two meters. I hadn't measured my height, but based on experience, my eye level had dropped
somewhat. I was probably... a little over one meter
seventy, but not one eighty. Taking the middle value, I was probably about one meter seventy-five now.
That was pretty tall for a woman.
Incidentally, I used to be one meter eighty...
I tried reaching up. I could just barely reach the balcony, but my fingers couldn't support my weight. After some thought, I
picked up my ZIPPO and
opened my cigarette pack, pulling out a cigarette. Once I lit it, the familiar taste spread through my mouth. At the same time, however,
my lungs reacted violently to the smoke.
"Cough, cough, cough..." As I coughed, I thought... maybe my new body had completely cleaned out
my old lungs.
As for the theory that this wasn't my body, that had already been completely disproven. My phone and keys, along with my wallet, were all in
that drawer. That was enough to prove
that the person lying on that bed had indeed been me.
As for why I had ended up like this, I could think about it once I was out of danger.
I snapped the ZIPPO's lid shut. I was glad it sealed so well. If it ran out of lighter fluid,
that would be awkward.
I hefted it a couple of times and nodded... Incidentally, my ZIPPO was the thick brass Armor version, so it had some weight to it.
As for what I was going to do? Heh...
I took aim and hurled the lighter in my hand! Immediately afterward, I hurriedly held my bag over my head.
At that very moment, the brass-colored lighter struck the windowpane!
Crack! Crash!
