Monster Girlfriend(Apocalypse) 31

Chapter 31

Xia Weishuang smelled a strange scent and subconsciously cupped her face to get a closer sniff.

Flap, flap. The wind blew the window back and forth. Sang Lu’s wet and cold hands climbed onto Xia Weishuang’s shoulders, coiling around her like a soft snake.

“Sang Lu, what have you been eating again?” Xia Weishuang asked as she dodged her entanglement. This was simply too terrible. This was someone else’s house, and not long ago, a family tragedy had occurred in this very room. This made her feel a little embarrassed to be too intimate with Sang Lu.

Besides—

“Did you brush your teeth?” Xia Weishuang asked irritably.

Sang Lu had no choice but to silently let go of her hands, sit on the table, and use her fingers as a comb to comb her long hair that was dripping with water.

Her figure was graceful, her skin dazzlingly white. Sitting so casually, she appeared as a large patch of light color in the dark night, exceptionally eye-catching.

Xia Weishuang quickly straightened up. After being hugged by Sang Lu like that, her clothes were covered in watermarks. She first closed the screen window, then leaned against the window and looked carefully for a while. She found that tonight, besides the miserable scream and the rustling of the rain, there was no other sound.

The humans should all be asleep. Logically speaking, the zombies should be more active.

Xia Weishuang felt a little uneasy in her heart. She closed the glass window at the back, then found a towel from the cabinet and carefully dried Sang Lu’s long hair.

There was no electricity, so she couldn’t use a hairdryer. She could only use a towel to do it slowly. As she was drying, Xia Weishuang picked out a few soft blades of grass. It was too dark to see clearly, so she threw them into the trash can.

Sang Lu’s hair was long and thick. After drying for a long time, it was only half dry. Xia Weishuang changed the towel and dried the rainwater on her body, from her cheeks to her neck, from her shoulders to her arms… The wet clothes were sticking to her body. Xia Weishuang reached out and gently hooked her shoulder strap, tentatively trying to change it for her.

Sang Lu suddenly turned to look at her. In the darkness, Xia Weishuang couldn’t see her expression. She said, “Your clothes are dirty. It’s time to change them. We have a place to stay now. I’ll wash them for you after you change.”

So the silent woman suddenly raised her hands and stretched lazily, then leaned against Xia Weishuang like a pile of mud. Xia Weishuang went to take off her dress. It was very smooth, probably because Sang Lu’s body was slippery. She just had to pull it up and it came off.

The waterfall-like long hair was scraped by the clothes and fell back on her. Although it was too dark to see anything clearly, Xia Weishuang still subconsciously averted her gaze, feeling that Sang Lu’s whole body was dazzlingly white.

“This is the one you picked before. It’s just right for you.”

Xia Weishuang swallowed and quickly walked to her backpack, taking out the spare clothes inside. It was a cool black thin-strapped off-the-shoulder top and denim shorts.

This was not quite the same as Sang Lu’s previous preferences, but since she liked it now, she would let her be. Anyway, she didn’t really need the protection of clothes.

But when Xia Weishuang was about to put the clothes on Sang Lu, she suddenly remembered something. “…I forgot to get the underwear.” Sang Lu and Xia Weishuang’s sizes were different, so she couldn’t wear hers.

Although it was probably not necessary for Sang Lu to wear underwear, after all, her body structure was already different, but…

Xia Weishuang glanced at Sang Lu’s chest and suddenly discovered something. “So you’ve been letting your hair down all this time because of this.”

Sang Lu: “…”

She didn’t know if she was shy or if she didn’t like these two pieces of clothing, but it was particularly difficult to put them on. Sang Lu was like a soft snake, or a slippery eel. If she didn’t cooperate, the human could only keep giving in—giving up her arms to hold her body, giving up her hands to pull up her hands, giving up her shoulders to prevent her from suddenly slipping down.

Changing clothes was like fighting a war. Xia Weishuang was so tired that she was panting. She couldn’t help but reach out and pinch Sang Lu’s cheek.

Sang Lu was looking down at the new clothes on her body with wide eyes. Then she slowly raised her head and looked at the dirty clothes in Xia Weishuang’s hands.

Xia Weishuang held her dress and said, “You can wear it again after it’s washed.”

Who knew that Sang Lu would suddenly reach out and snatch the dress from Xia Weishuang’s hands. Then she quickly folded it, folded the thin red dress into a small piece, pulled up her clothes, and pressed it against her stomach—the dress disappeared.

Xia Weishuang was dumbfounded.

Sang Lu once again slowly tilted, and fell sideways on the table in a charming manner, her calf hooking Xia Weishuang’s leg again and again.

She didn’t know where she had gone, but her calf was splattered with some mud. The shoes were still on and had not been taken off.

Xia Weishuang grabbed her ankle, and in a few moves, took off her shoes and wiped them clean, then took a thin quilt and covered her with it.

Xia Weishuang lay back on her own bed and said good night with a smile.

Sang Lu, who was lying on the table, was frozen in place. After a long while, she extended a tentacle to support herself on the ground and quietly moved the table a little closer to the bed… thump, the bed and the table were seamlessly connected.

**

August 18, 2021, morning, the rain gradually stopped.

When Xia Weishuang woke up, it was almost noon. At first, because the rain had just stopped today, the sky was overcast and the light was not bright, it looked like it was around six in the morning.

Xia Weishuang hadn’t noticed that anything was wrong, thinking that she had woken up early as usual. She turned her head and saw Sang Lu lying on the pillow, her dark eyes hidden in her thick hair, quietly looking at her. She smiled and greeted her:

“Good morning. I saw you today too.”

Xia Weishuang rarely slept in. Because she was a light sleeper, her sleep quality was low, and with her biological clock, she would usually wake up naturally at six or seven o’clock.

It wasn’t until Xia Weishuang went downstairs and saw the large wall clock in Xia Yu’s living room that she realized it was already 10:59.

She had actually slept until noon. It was incredible. What was even more incredible was that the others were still sleeping.

Xia Weishuang ate some crackers and sausage for breakfast. Sang Lu didn’t need to eat, but she was very interested in the small fish tank in the living room and was lying there, teasing the goldfish with her hand.

Then Xia Weishuang saw that the trash can was almost full, so she tied it up and prepared to throw it out.

She also had the intention of observing, so she climbed up to the wet rooftop and looked at the next door and the village.

From this height, she could only see the situation next door. Grandpa Xia’s house was also as quiet as if no one had woken up. Xia Weishuang threw the trash bag into the corner where the dirty things were piled outside the wall, then climbed up to the small platform on the second floor, trying to observe the situation in other places.

It was too quiet.

This area, this street, this village, was simply too quiet.

Even if everyone liked to sleep in on rainy days, it was impossible for them to be so in sync and collectively lazy until almost noon. Besides, most of the old people in the countryside were so diligent that it was embarrassing. At this time, there should have been some movement.

Xia Weishuang suddenly realized that it was not just the people who were quiet, but there was not even the sound of insects.

This was the countryside. There were plenty of flowers, grass, and trees. It was the liveliest summer. How could there not be a single cicada’s chirp?

And there was no movement from the zombies either.

The only sounds here were the wind and the dripping of raindrops left on the leaves.

It was as if the entire world, along with all the life in it, had fallen into a deep sleep, and it was not known when it would wake up.

Xia Weishuang quickly returned to the living room. She didn’t care about the dirty footprints she was leaving with her wet shoes. She hurried to Sang Lu, who was still teasing the small goldfish, and hugged her from behind.

“Sang Lu, I feel that something is not right,” Xia Weishuang could only confide in her. “This place is too strange.”

This tight hug brought Sang Lu’s attention back from the goldfish. She was about to turn around and hug Xia Weishuang back, but Xia Weishuang let go and ran upstairs.

Sang Lu: “…Hmm.”

Xia Weishuang began to knock on Xia Qingxue’s door.

“Little Xue, Lele, Xiaoxiao, are you awake? If you’re awake, get up quickly!”

After knocking for a long time, there was finally some movement from inside the door. After a moment, Xia Qingxue opened the door with sleepy eyes. “Shh, sis, be quiet. Lele and Xiaoxiao are not awake yet.”

“How do you feel?” Xia Weishuang looked from the doorway. Indeed, the big and small girls were sleeping soundly on the bed, as if the knocking just now hadn’t affected them at all.

But she hadn’t held back at all when she was knocking just now. The force was so great that even the people downstairs should have heard it.

“Little Xue.” Xia Weishuang directly pulled Xia Qingxue out, then pushed her into the bathroom and washed her face with cold water to wake her up.

“Sis, what happened so early in the morning? Why did you have to wake me up?” Xia Qingxue pouted and whined. “I want to sleep a little longer.”

“Early in the morning?” Xia Weishuang pulled her to the living room and let her look at the clock. “It’s almost eleven-thirty!”

Xia Qingxue: “Huh?”

Xia Weishuang seriously told Xia Qingxue what she had discovered. After hearing it, Xia Qingxue’s hair stood on end and she was completely awake.

“How could this be? This is too strange.”

Xia Weishuang looked at the strings of water droplets dripping from the eaves in the courtyard, deep in thought. “I suspect it might be related to this rain. Little Xue, do you remember? Two days before the zombie outbreak, there was a very heavy rain.”

“You mean, the rain brought the virus?” Xia Qingxue sat down on the sofa and suddenly felt that the pancake in her hand was no longer fragrant. “No wonder the source of this disaster can’t be found. No wonder zombies can appear in every corner. The people who haven’t turned into zombies are not uninfected, but have survived the first wave of the virus’s attack.”

Xia Qingxue said bitterly, “This is impossible to guard against.”

Xia Weishuang patted her shoulder and said, “At least we can be sure that we living people have basic antibodies in our bodies, and our abilities also came from this. Maybe in the future, scientists can develop a powerful vaccine and solve it once and for all.”

But this beautiful vision was too far away. Xia Weishuang said, “I’m not sure what new changes this rain will bring yesterday. When Xia Yu wakes up later, I’m going to use my ability.”

Xia Yu knew more people in the village and had lived there longer. If there was a change, he should have more information.

Xia Weishuang’s ability was not something that could be used without limit. This was a gift from fate, and humans should not be greedy. So when she tried to change fate on her own initiative, she would pay a greater price than when she was passively triggered.

She needed to overdraw more energy and would not be able to actively use her ability for the next two days. Once she wanted to use it, she would feel a splitting headache.

Because there were not many times and opportunities for Xia Weishuang to test her ability, so far, she had only mastered a few patterns. For example, at present, she could only actively trigger her ability through others, and what she saw were all very dangerous or even fatal scenes of the other party.

Around twelve o’clock, Lele woke up. Around one in the afternoon, Ke Xiaoxiao and Xia Yu woke up one after another.

Xia Weishuang touched Xia Yu’s hand while handing him food, mobilized her mind, and activated her ability.

With a whoosh, she saw Xia Yu holding a large fork, sitting in someone else’s courtyard with a desperate expression, with two piles of vomit beside him.

His arm was injured, bitten by a zombie. The wound was rotting and stinking, and purple scars were spreading everywhere.

He had already begun to zombify. The whites of his eyes were cloudy, and his eyes were bloodshot. Sticky saliva flowed from the corner of his mouth, and his whole body was twitching and trembling uncontrollably.

But the process of zombification did not go to the end. Xia Weishuang saw that a person suddenly jumped over the wall and broke in.

The person was wearing a Sun Wukong mask. From his figure, he was a male. He didn’t look scared at all when he saw Xia Yu, just sighed and said, “Poor child, may the Lord forgive you.”

Then he suddenly threw out a talisman with a backhand and stuck it to Xia Yu’s forehead. With a flash of golden light, Xia Yu’s zombification process was interrupted, and he slowly fell down.

The man in the Sun Wukong mask put his hands together. “Amitabha, so be it.”
