Monster Girlfriend(Apocalypse) 16

Chapter 16

The fire in the factory wasn’t large, but it burned stubbornly for a day and a night.

That night, Xia Weishuang was held tightly in Sang Lu’s arms, unable to move. She could only silently cuddle with her, feeling the terrifying changes in Sang Lu.

At the same time, she secretly observed her own changes.

After discovering that her tears had healing abilities, Mi Lele, as soon as Sang Lu let her go, scrambled over to Xia Qingxue’s leg. She tried hard to squeeze her eyes, wanting to cry more, but she didn’t know if she had overdrawn her tears before. This time, after squeezing out a few tears, she couldn’t cry anymore.

She could only look at Xia Weishuang with wide, innocent eyes, as if to say she was very innocent.

Xia Weishuang couldn’t do anything either. She comforted her, telling her not to force herself, to take it slow, that there would be other times to cry.

Mi Lele: “…”

And just then, Sang Lu suddenly grabbed her chin and bit her on the neck, a very light bite, the tips of her teeth just piercing the skin, only enough to draw a small bead of blood.

At that moment, Xia Weishuang thought Sang Lu had almost changed her mind and decided to eat her, but clearly, that was not Sang Lu’s intention. After that small bite, she once again fell into a lazy state.

Until an hour later, she gave Xia Weishuang another bite.

Xia Weishuang: “…”

She couldn’t figure out Sang Lu’s purpose, but if it was just a bite, it didn’t matter.

Too many things had happened that day. Xia Weishuang’s mood had fluctuated between great joy, great sorrow, and anger. She was tired. Although she had been trying hard not to sleep, afraid that Sang Lu hadn’t given up on eating Mi Lele, she still fell asleep without realizing it.

Fortunately, Sang Lu seemed to have really given up on the idea of eating the young Mi Lele. When she woke up, the little girl’s arms and legs were intact.

Xia Weishuang breathed a sigh of relief and tried to break free from Sang Lu’s embrace.

At first, Sang Lu was reluctant. It wasn’t until Xia Weishuang, blushing, said that she had some needs to take care of alone that she slowly retracted her tentacles and then leisurely followed behind Xia Weishuang.

Xia Weishuang couldn’t do anything about it and could only pretend she didn’t exist. But as she was walking back, Sang Lu really did disappear.

Around noon, Xia Qingxue, who had slept soundly, finally woke up satisfied. She was still half-asleep and subconsciously stretched, pulling on her wound, which made her cry out in pain and wake up completely.

Xia Qingxue sat up and looked at Xia Weishuang and Mi Lele, who were worriedly gathered around her. She gave a wry smile and said, “It’s morning.”

“Little Xue, how do you feel?” Xia Weishuang helped her up to drink some water and take an anti-inflammatory pill, then she went to undo the gauze on her leg to check the wound’s recovery.

The wound hadn’t completely healed, but it was much better, far exceeding the normal recovery speed. Xia Qingxue was pleasantly surprised. “Could it be that an esper’s physical fitness also changes?”

Xia Weishuang mercilessly shot her down. “It’s Lele’s ability, not yours.”

Xia Qingxue: “…Well, that’s not bad either!”

An ability to heal others’ wounds was simply too important at a time like this when it was impossible to seek medical treatment in time. Xia Qingxue was very savvy and started to get on good terms with Mi Lele.

Until she learned that Mi Lele needed to cry to activate her ability.

This really dumbfounded her. So coaxing the child wouldn’t work; she had to bully the child!

Xia Qingxue couldn’t bring herself to do such a thing and could only endure the pain of her wound pitifully. Mi Lele was also very pitiful. The more she tried to “cry,” the less she could.

And just at that moment, Sang Lu suddenly jumped in through the window. Xia Qingxue belatedly realized that the window was broken and Sang Lu hadn’t left.

Xia Qingxue frowned and stared at Xia Weishuang, stroking her chin.

“What’s wrong?”

Xia Qingxue looked suspiciously at the suspicious little red dot on Xia Weishuang’s neck. “I feel like something strange happened while I was asleep.”

Xia Weishuang coughed dryly and said, “Don’t overthink it. It was just a zombie attack. By the way…”

Xia Weishuang hesitated for a moment, then reminded her, “Try not to be alone with Sang Lu.”

She could take risks herself, but she didn’t want others to take risks with her.

Her cousin’s change in attitude puzzled Xia Qingxue. Although she was a little happy that her cousin was no longer blinded by love, it also meant that Sang Lu might be even more dangerous than she had imagined.

Over there, Xia Weishuang had already walked over. Sang Lu was holding a handful of things. When Xia Weishuang came in front of her, she suddenly opened her hand, and the things in her hand clattered to the ground.

Then, she silently held out her hand to Xia Weishuang.

The ground was covered with small, shiny stones.

Xia Weishuang couldn’t imagine what she had been doing during the half-day she was out, but she still helped her wipe her hands clean and then said gently, “Sang Lu, you’re amazing.”

The curve of Sang Lu’s lips seemed to widen a little.

August 14, 2021.

The fire in the factory had died down a lot. The willow monster was completely dead. Xia Weishuang’s foot had recovered a lot after a night’s rest, and Xia Qingxue’s wound was about to be healed.

Sang Lu crouched in front of the willow monster’s main body and dug out a jade-green crystal. The humans, on the other hand, rummaged through the ruins and found some supplies that hadn’t been burned. Xia Qingxue put them into her space one by one, and then they found a new car.

This was the most suitable one among the cars they could find with keys and in good condition. The only drawback was that it was on its side when they found it.

Just as the humans were at a loss, Sang Lu reached out and righted the car.

The weak humans: “…”

In short, everything was developing in a good direction.

It wasn’t until they were all in the car that they suddenly realized they didn’t know the way.

This car had no GPS, and they had no mobile phones. Even if they did, they had no power and no internet. When they came here, because they were locked in the windowless back of a truck, they couldn’t see the road at all, so they couldn’t go back the way they came.

Because Xia Weishuang’s foot injury had recovered a lot and didn’t hurt much anymore, she was in the driver’s seat this time.

And Sang Lu was in the passenger seat, boredly propping her chin on her hand and looking at the scenery. She would look at the scenery for a while, then look at Xia Weishuang.

“There are a lot of factories in this area,” Xia Weishuang analyzed. “Although I’ve never been here before, I still know the city layout. We should be in the southeast corner of A City.”

Xia Qingxue was completely clueless. She couldn’t rely on herself, so she said, “If all else fails, let’s just drive out first. Maybe we’ll reach a familiar place as we drive.”

“Alright.”

Staying put wouldn’t change the awkward situation. Xia Weishuang drove west according to her own judgment.

But as she drove, Xia Weishuang’s brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and the car’s speed began to slow down.

“What’s wrong?” Xia Qingxue asked.

Xia Weishuang said, “I feel like there are more and more zombies on the road.”

Zombies were not as fast as cars. Xia Weishuang had been ramming her way through, shaking them off when she could, and hitting them when she couldn’t. In short, she hadn’t let herself be trapped by zombies.

But the increasingly dense zombies still slowed them down.

A bad premonition made Xia Weishuang feel very anxious. She couldn’t help but think, if only her ability could be controlled by her at will.

Screech—

Xia Qingxue was pressed against the window, but she wasn’t as worried as Xia Weishuang. “It’s fine, there are quite few zombies on this street.”

Xia Weishuang frowned. “No, it shouldn’t be…”

Xia Qingxue was puzzled. “Is it not good that there are few zombies?”

Xia Weishuang looked at the concrete wall by the roadside. It was the wall of another factory.

When they reached the factory gate, they couldn’t help but gasp. They saw the name of the factory, and they also saw a dense crowd of countless zombies pressing against the iron gate, deforming the gateposts and making a continuous creaking sound.

The gate was tilting outwards, on the verge of collapse. The sound of the car stimulated the zombie horde into a frenzy. They stretched out their countless demonic claws, as if born from hell, struggling and climbing, using those in front as stepping stones, and roared as they poured out.

The iron gate completely collapsed. The zombies swarmed out like a colony of ants, like a torrential flood, and drowned the small car on the road.

Xia Weishuang floored the accelerator and sped forward.

“Sis, aren’t we turning back!”

“No!” Xia Weishuang said, “The Daomeicui Garment Factory is already on the edge of the factory district. We’ll be chased if we turn back. We can break through if we go forward!”

This car was not a particularly high-performance vehicle. It was already at its top speed, and had shaken off most of the zombies.

However, this pile of zombies had been locked up in the factory for who knows how long, as if they were being raised like Gu. Now, it seemed that many Gu had indeed been raised. A few zombies were obviously faster and stronger than the others, and they were about to catch up to the car’s rear!

Sang Lu finally sat up a little straighter. She rolled down the window, poked her head out, and looked at the zombies behind her.

However, unfortunately, the road conditions here were very bad. A truck transporting metal waste had broken down on the side of the road. Xia Weishuang’s car seemed to have run over something sharp. The tire suddenly blew out, and the entire car instantly lost control, crashing into the cornerstone at the side of the road.
