Chapter 035 A Leap of Despair
“Hu… hu… ugh…”
Zheng Xinyu gasped for breath, her chest rising and falling rapidly. Now that the tension had passed, she noticed the ground beneath her feet—littered with bloody entrails and mangled organs. A foul, metallic stench filled her nose, making her stomach churn. Unable to hold it back, she bent over and vomited.
“Xinyu-jie… are you okay?”
Zhong Xiaoshan was startled by Zheng Xinyu’s sudden retching. She quickly sidestepped to avoid the splatter and gently patted Zheng Xinyu’s back. “Don’t look at the ground. Try thinking about something delicious instead—it’ll pass soon!”
“Something… delicious…”
Zhang Su thought to himself, At a time like this, thinking about food is just cruel…
He lit another cigarette, took a drag, then closed the door before holding the cigarette out to Zheng Xinyu. “Take a puff—it’ll help.”
Zheng Xinyu, who was already crying and sniffling, took the cigarette and inhaled deeply. The harsh smoke burned her throat, making her cough violently, but the nausea subsided almost instantly.
