The projector responsible for displaying the movie was working and it was also connected to the 3D glasses.
At first, the hall was quiet with the only sound being the loud chewing of Shae Harris.
But then the quiet couldn't hold anymore.
" Wow, I want to jump off a bridge too" Shae Harris said putting a hand full of popcorn into her mouth.
" Don't you mean you want to be an actor too" Wei Zhi spoke.
" No, I mean i want to jump off a bridge" Shae Harris said.
" You mean as a stunt double" Ming Jun said.
" No, I mean drive to a bridge then jump into the water below" Shae Harris said.
" Are you crazy" Wei Zhi looked at her like she was mad.
" Can't you just imagine how fun it would be to feel the air slap your body as you freefall into the water"
" And how your heart would me roaring in your ears from how fast it was beating" Shae Harris said excitedly.
" Yeah it would be beating so fast because you're about to die" Ming Jun retorted.
" And because you would be scared while practically being tossed into the water" Wei Zhi said.
Shae Harris wanted to refute them but she happened to glance at Noi Karn who was incredibly focused on the screen.
Shae Harris : forget it
The theatre returned to silence once again.
" Woah, I want to shoot people too" Shae Harris said excitedly.
On the screen was the main character fighting another special agent who came to kill him.
" You'll probably shoot yourself first" Ming Jun said.
" And on purpose" Wei Zhi added.
" I'll show you guys my strength and make you call me ancestor" Shae Harris said rolling up her already short sleeve to show them her thin arm.
Wei Zhi rolled his eyes
but he also secretly turned to the timid girl beside him who was quietly watching the movie and also smiled at their conversation.
Mori Aoi turned to Wei Zhi and had the feeling of being caught doing something bad a bit inexplicably.
She covered her mouth and blinked at him innocently.
Translation: I wasn't laughing at you and you can't see anything
so there is no evidence.
Wei Zhi also blinked back and hooked her fingers to remove them.
Hidden behind was a huge smile.
Wei Zhi poked her cheeks after releasing her hand.
Mori Aoi did a hehe and chuckled awkwardly.
To escape, she turned to look away but was attracted by the cat sipping its tiny cola.
Instantly mesmerized and forgot about Wei Zhi beside her.
Wei Zhi saw her distracted look and thought to himself that this girl was really bold and had a temper.
It is just that the temper only shows when she is completely relaxed or in places where it is easier for her to hide like in the dark.
Wei Zhi sat upright and stiffened.
He looked at the hand that he used to remove her fingers and the finger he used to poke her cheek
Wei Zhi suddenly felt that she was not the only one who could be bold at random points.
He also was nervous and wondered whether he could bolt out of here alone.
Wei Zhi looked at the darkness beyond the aisle and muttered forget it.
The girl in question didn't even care about it.
The other girl in the group was busy waving her thin arms to Ming Jun.
Ming Jun felt that the the skin seemed to be too bright and he reached out to pull her sleeve down, not daring to stare at it for too long.
" You are still doubting me right" Shae Harris eyed him up and down.
" Old man Yi, pass me your gun" Shae Harris said turning back to look at Yi Zheng.
Yi Zheng ignored her and continued to watch the movie.
At first, he was tensed but he slowly relaxed due to listening to their childish exchange.
He had never gone to the movies so this was also a novel experience for him.
Anyway, he might as well enjoy it.
After all, it's only these group of idiots who would go to the movies during a zombie apocalypse to watch an actual movie.
I'm sure most people would be struggling out their to survive.
...........
Luo Feng wearing clean clothes was seated in an apartment facing Nia.
The latter was silent and her tears had stopped on the way here.
Now she just looked into the sky in a daze from Luo Feng's perspective.
But only Nia knew that she was always staring at the twin stars that were always in her eyesight while looking up.
Luo Feng thought about a lot of things
Mainly of home
He wasn't someone who belonged in this world and it has always been his top priority to go home
To his apartment
But what should he do with the little girl
Leave her here
That's not an option
His conscience would not allow for him to abandon a child in such an environment
Especially with there being other people like the principal around
Then to stay with her in this world
Impossible
Then what would be the reason for my struggles and efforts all this time
I have endured from being a normal person to someone who has seen different shades of the dark side of humanity
Sekou has also shown me the good side of humanity
And now he is dead
[ You can take her with you ]
The system responded
" Why didn't you warn me about the principal" Luo Feng said harshly
[ I gave you the task so why should i do the work ]
" Then why would you send me to fight a losing battle" Luo Feng retorted
[ The host should not blame me for his own failure ]
" Why don't you have a go since I'm such a failure" Luo Feng mocked the system
He found it very hypocritical and disgusting
[ That is because I cannot ]
The system was the same as ever, not even bothering to argue
[ I suggest you remember that we might be cooperating but that doesn't make us partners ]
The system responded coolly then went silent
Luo Feng wanted to beat up the system but he forced himself to calm down and think of the bigger picture- home
" Nia, if you want you can call me Uncle Luo forever" Luo Feng said
Nia turned away from the twin stars that seemed to sparkle for a second after Luo Feng spoke
" Uncle Luo" Nia called sweetly and smiled
.............
" Wow i want to jump unto a moving train too " Shae Harris spoke
" Why don't you jump right off the track too" Wei Zhi retorted
" Next time, you can jump infront of it instead"
" That should be quicker" Ming Jun rolled his eyes
" You guys should learn how to support a friend's dream, no matter what it is" Shae Harris crossed her arms
" Hmm, that's why I promise to pay for your funeral" Wei Zhi said earnestly
" Then I'll pay to have your entire life story turned into a sims game" Ming Jun said
" You bullies" Shae Harris said jumping into Mori Aoi's body beside her
Ming Jun and Wei Zhi raised a palm into the air to give each other a high five
" Sister Aoi~" Shae Harris hummed
" You support me right" Shae Harris rubbed against her
Mori Aoi stiffened and blushed before nodding
" Tell it to their faces" Shae Harris said triumphantly, pointing at Ming Jun and Wei Zhi
" I support her dreams" Mori Aoi said
" And want to willingly go with me" Shae Harris added
" And want to..." Mori Aoi started but was interrupted
" Don't mislead her" Wei Zhi glared at Shae Harris covering Mori Aoi's mouth
" That's definitely coercion because you knew she would agree" Ming Jun retorted
" Then how else would i get someone to go with me" Shae Harris giggled
Ming Jun and Wei Zhi ; shameless!
" I will go with you" Ming Jun sighed and said
" Are you sure, I will probably keep you up to it" Shae Harris said
" Then hold on tight because I'm not going to give up no matter what" Ming Jun chuckled and said
" Why" Shae Harris teased
" It sounds fun...doing stuff with you sounds scary but it's always really fun" Ming Jun faced the movie and said softly
Shae Harris wanted to speak but she found that she was choked back by her heart which skipped a bit
For the first time, she found that the words didn't want to form and she wanted to look away
So she watched the movie quietly
Mori Aoi beside her though was covering her forehead while pouting
" Next time, don't just blindly agree" Wei Zhi told her after flicking her forehead lightly
" But I really wasn't coerced" Mori Aoi said seriously
" Tell that to my shirt" Wei Zhi said pointing at the other hand still holding unto his shirt
" Eh..when did i " Mori Aoi said staring at the hand she just removed in surprise
" It doesn't matter when" Wei Zhi said rubbing her head
" You can hold it for as long as you want " Wei Zhi smiled
" I can't promise to help you if it's scary but i can try to stand up for you if you don't want to do something" Wei Zhi said softly and turned to look at the movie
What he didn't see was the deep blush on Mori Aoi's face
She suddenly felt that Wei Zhi was really nice to her
Yi Zheng watched them fall silent and thought that being stupid has its advantages
You can play freely and say any line you think of just because you don't care about surviving
The atmosphere became subtle after that and no one came out to speak
Mostly because Shae Harris who was still shy didn't want to speak and felt at peace
The movie ended while also breaking the atmosphere
" Ho was it " Shae Harris asked Noi Karn
"Amazing" Noi Karn wasn't much of a talker and they knew that
But this time his voice was excited and his smile was wide
The others couldn't take it and went to poke his face again
Noi Karn let them poke for a minute before swatting them away
Just then the cat came in the middle of them holding a tiny camera in its mouth
It was a normal camera that was common
" You want us to take a picture" Shae Harris asked
The cat nodded
" Cute" Mori Aoi and Shae Harris squealed holding hands
The cat ignored them and pointed infront of the seats in the first row
The others nodded and went over to stand at the front
Then Shae Harris didn't see Yi Zheng
" Come up" she said waving him forward
Yi Zheng felt that he wasn't meant to be in the picture so he shook his head
Besides who knows where the cat got a camera and what the camera does
The arrangement was Noi Karn in the middle while standing a step infront of them
Shae Harris and Ming Jun at the left with Shae Harris in the middle
Mori Aoi and Wei Zhi at the right with Mori Aoi in the middle
They stood straight and they were lined up side by side
" Everyone shout movie" Shae Harris said
The others smiled and cooperated to shout movie as the flash of the camera went on
Then they scrambled over to the cat to take the photo
Each person got one photo of the same thing
" Look, aren't I pretty" Shae Harris went to Yi Zheng and waved the picture infront of his face
Yi Zheng looked at it seriously
" Ugly, let's go. It's getting dark" Yi Zheng said seriously and stood up
He didn't wait for them and walked forward
The others turned around and saw that the cat had disappeared once again so they hurried after Yi Zheng
Yi Zheng led them out of the movies and into a building close by for the night.
