Monster Girlfriend(Apocalypse) 36

Chapter 36

After dealing with the grape vine, everyone went back to their respective rooms and fell asleep, exhausted and frightened.

Xia Qingxue, however, couldn’t sleep. She opened her eyes in the darkness and reached out to pat Ke Xiaoxiao, who was lying on the edge of the bed.

This bed was actually very large, and it could fit two slender girls and a small child. It was just that the weather was too hot. Without air conditioning or a fan, they had to rely on the night breeze, and it was unbearable to be squeezed together.

So Xia Qingxue had taken the initiative to sleep on the floor for the coolness. Ke Xiaoxiao slept on the edge of the bed to prevent Mi Lele from falling off. At this moment, she was lying on her side with her hand hanging down. When she was patted, she immediately opened her eyes.

The moonlight was nice tonight. After getting used to the darkness, it even felt a little too bright. The silver light poured in, and they could clearly see each other’s expressions.

Xia Qingxue said, “I feel like you’re a little strange.”

Ke Xiaoxiao pressed her hand under her face, a little puzzled. “Where am I strange?”

Xia Qingxue had to get it off her chest. “What are your intentions towards my sister?”

Ke Xiaoxiao frowned. “Shh, be quiet. Lele is still sleeping.”

Xia Qingxue lowered her voice. “I actually heard you and my sister whispering in the back during the day. I didn’t want to overthink it, but you’re too reckless.”

Xia Qingxue rolled her eyes and said, “Sister Sang Lu is so scary, and you still dare to approach my sister in front of her. What are you thinking? You know their relationship and you still do this. Aren’t you afraid of being beaten up by Sister Sang Lu?”

Ke Xiaoxiao lowered her eyes, seeming a little guilty, and fell silent for a moment.

Seeing her like this, Xia Qingxue felt annoyed and awkward. She muttered in a low voice, “I thought you were just trying to steal my sister from me, but I didn’t know you were this kind of stealer… I was wondering why you’ve become so timid. You weren’t so fragile before. It turns out you have ulterior motives. Ke Xiaoxiao, I advise you to give up as soon as possible. This isn’t about stealing a girlfriend, this is a matter of life and death!”

Ke Xiaoxiao was silent for a while, her hand clutching the pillowcase. She said, “I didn’t plan to steal Sister Shuangshuang right away.”

Xia Qingxue rolled her eyes. “Even if you want to slowly insert yourself, it won’t work. My sister is devoted to Sister Sang Lu. Haven’t you seen it these past few days? As long as Sister Sang Lu doesn’t cause trouble, my sister is willing to be with her even if she’s a fool for the rest of her life.”

Ke Xiaoxiao sighed softly. “Qingxue, do you really think Senior Sang Lu is normal like this?”

Xia Qingxue suddenly felt a chill and wrapped herself tightly in her summer quilt. “I’ve never thought so, but my sister doesn’t mind.”

Ke Xiaoxiao said, “I think it’s very scary.”

Xia Qingxue couldn’t help but retort, “Everyone thinks so. But Ke Xiaoxiao, you know it’s scary and you still provoke someone you shouldn’t. What do you want me to say?”

Ke Xiaoxiao said again, “Qingxue, I know this isn’t good, but… if Sister Shuangshuang continues like this, she’ll destroy herself.”

Xia Qingxue let out a “ha” and said, “You’re exaggerating a bit, aren’t you? At least, at least Sister Sang Lu won’t hurt my sister.”

“But I think she will.” Ke Xiaoxiao’s voice became lower. In the moonlight, her black eyes became even deeper. “You’re too naive. You and Sister Shuangshuang are both too naive… Qingxue, you’re my best friend. There are some things I can only say to you.”

“I admit I’m not a good person. I have a despicable personality, but I will never hurt you and Sister Shuangshuang. You two are the most important people to me. No matter what, I hope you are well.”

“Yes, I like Sister Shuangshuang. I’m jealous of Senior Sang Lu and don’t want them to be together. But that’s not the most important reason. It’s too dangerous for Sister Shuangshuang to be with Senior Sang Lu. We have no way to control Senior Sang Lu. She’s uncontrollable, and she has no normal human emotions. She’s a monster. She will plunder everything and eventually kill Sister Shuangshuang.”

Ke Xiaoxiao’s words sent a chill down Xia Qingxue’s spine. She ground her teeth, feeling extremely uneasy. “Are you exaggerating a bit…”

But in fact, she was also scared.

Ke Xiaoxiao reached out and held Xia Qingxue’s hand. She looked at Xia Qingxue’s eyes imploringly and said, “Qingxue, I also hope I’m overthinking it.”

Xia Qingxue looked at her, then suddenly pulled her hand back and turned over, not looking at Ke Xiaoxiao. Her mind was in a mess. In the end, she said irritably, “You’re talking about being worried and scared, but you’re not worried about yourself. Ke Xiaoxiao, I advise you to quit while you’re ahead. Otherwise, before you succeed, Sister Sang Lu will send you flying.”

Ke Xiaoxiao looked at the back of her head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. “I still want to try…”

“If you want my sister and Sister Sang Lu to break up, you should just give up. Oh, don’t talk to me anymore. It’s annoying. I can’t control you. If you’re looking for death, I won’t help you bury the body. I’m going to sleep.”

**

That night, Xia Weishuang did not sleep well.

Perhaps it was because she had been waiting for Sang Lu all night and she had not returned.

The time was August 19, 2021.

After dawn, the rampaging zombies gradually calmed down a bit, as if their ferocity was not as strong, but it was only a little better.

Xia Weishuang finally heard the big loudspeaker of Green Mountain Village. The village party secretary’s voice came from the loudspeaker, encouraging everyone not to be discouraged and to continue to persevere. We will never lose to the zombies.

The village party secretary advised everyone not to be soft-hearted because the zombies were their relatives and friends. They were no longer who they used to be. Their souls had left this land, and now, their bodies were occupied by evil ghosts!

The sound of the loudspeaker spread throughout the sad Green Mountain Village. In just one night, many more irreversible tragedies had occurred.

At the same time, a large number of zombies were attracted by the sound of the loudspeaker, and the area suddenly became much quieter.

Xia Yu woke up in a daze, still wearing yesterday’s clothes. He greeted them and said, “Morning. I suddenly remembered something.”

“What is it?”

“Weren’t you trying to find out whose house has a large water tank with lotus flowers? I asked around yesterday, and I actually found out,” Xia Yu said. “Jingui on the back street said his house has one. He even asked me to play cards with him when I have time. Aigh, who knew the zombies would suddenly come back to life? Now, we can’t even play cards. By the way, why are you asking about this?”

When Xia Weishuang heard this, she felt that this Jingui’s house was probably the one. It was relatively close, and if Xia Yu were to go out, it was indeed possible that he would go to his house.

Xia Weishuang reacted extremely quickly and quickly made up a reason. She told Xia Yu what she had “heard” about the man in the Sun Wukong mask, then said, “The lotus flower is a symbol of the Western Pure Land in Buddhism, and it also often appears in Taoism. I think if this person comes to our village, he is very likely to hide in a place with lotus flowers.”

Xia Yu seemed to understand, but not completely. He felt that it was both awesome and ridiculous. “You know quite a lot, haha… Are you sure this person has come?”

Xia Weishuang nodded. “Besides him, I don’t know who else can interrupt the process of zombification.”

Xia Yu said, “Then isn’t it good that he’s here? Why are we looking for him?”

Xia Weishuang suddenly felt that what he said also made sense. Although this person was sneaky, he had not yet threatened anyone. The only harm Xia Weishuang could be sure he had caused was to the infected.

But Xia Weishuang was looking for this person for a selfish reason. She didn’t care about others’ misunderstandings of her, but she didn’t like others misunderstanding Sang Lu.

Why should Sang Lu be suspected by them, and have to bear the blame… Xia Weishuang was very angry when she thought of this.

How can I let Sang Lu suffer this kind of grievance? No, absolutely not!

Xia Weishuang had no choice but to say it plainly, “Because I don’t like others suspecting Sang Lu.”

Xia Yu scratched his head and said, “It’s too dangerous now. We should wait a little longer.”

“Alright. Even if we find him now, no one would probably dare to come out and see him.”

So this matter was temporarily put aside. Xia Weishuang had Xia Yu point her in the direction of Jingui’s house, then returned to her room and observed from the back window.

She had thought that today would pass without any incident, but in the afternoon, a zombie suddenly climbed over the wall of Jingui’s house and broke in!

A panicked scream immediately came. Xia Yu was startled and, holding his large fork, ran up to the rooftop.

“Crap! Jingui is the only man in his house now. His mother is sick and not in good health. She’s always lying in bed. If something happens, she won’t even be able to run! No, I have to go and help him!”

When Xia Weishuang saw that scene, she had predicted that Xia Yu would not be able to not react. She finally knew why Xia Yu had gone to Jingui’s house.

Xia Weishuang quickly chased after him and grabbed Xia Yu, who was trying to jump down from the wall. “Calm down. If you run over like this, you’ll be sending yourself to your death.”

“Then what do we do?” Xia Yu clenched his fists. “Jingui, he probably… already…”

“It’s not the worst time yet.”

Xia Weishuang immediately called Xia Qingxue and Ke Xiaoxiao over. “Xiaoxiao, you go to the front and have Zhang Wenhao make some noise to lure the zombies away a bit. You’re smart. Stay here with Zhang Wenhao and hold the zombies back. Remember to keep an eye on him and don’t let the zombies get into his house.”

“Little Xue, you stay and guard the door. When we come back, you can support us.”

“No, no, no, I’m going too!” Xia Qingxue protested. “I have to go with you, or I won’t be at ease.”

Xia Weishuang hesitated for a second. “Alright.”

Little Xue’s combat power is definitely stronger than Xia Weishuang’s.

The three of them took their weapons, found a ladder, and when the wandering zombies in the vicinity were lured into the alley in front of Sun Wenhao’s house, they immediately climbed down from the back wall, then carried the ladder and leaned it against the wall of Jingui’s house, climbed up, and then pulled the ladder up and placed it on the rooftop.

That zombie had broken into the living room of Jingui’s house!

But fortunately, Xia Weishuang did not find any traces of blood. When they went down the stairs, they found that Jingui was holding a table and blocking the door of a room on the first floor, in a tug-of-war with the zombie. Because of the size of the table, he couldn’t retreat into the room for a while.

At the same time, he was afraid that if he let go, the zombie would pounce on him and he wouldn’t have time to hide in the room, so he had been struggling.

At this time, when he saw the three of them arrive, he excitedly shouted “save me.” With this shout, the zombie became even more excited.

Fortunately, Xia Weishuang and the others had come in time and there were many of them. With their combined efforts, they finally dealt with the zombie without any danger.

Jingui fell to his knees with a thud, which startled Xia Yu. He quickly said, “No, no, no, it’s not that serious.”

Jingui said with a bitter face, “Hey, don’t overthink it. My legs are weak. I’m not trying to kneel to you!”

After a while, Jingui stood up, supporting himself against the wall, and thanked the three of them repeatedly. Xia Weishuang glanced at Xia Yu and was relieved to see that he was fine.

An invisible crisis had been resolved.

But as the saying goes—since we’re already here, let’s just wait for the man in the Wukong mask.

Xia Weishuang stated her thoughts directly. Xia Qingxue had no objections. Xia Yu thought it was quite ridiculous but didn’t object either. Jingui was grateful that they had saved his life and wanted them to stay longer, and even urged them to stay.

Jingui took out the candy that his family had left over from the New Year from the cabinet and treated them. Modern people’s lives were better, and actually not many people liked to eat this kind of hard candy. But for the atmosphere of the New Year, even if they didn’t eat much, they would still buy some.

Then they would just leave it there and eat it whenever they thought of it. They would buy it once a year and basically eat it for a year.

It was not a good thing usually, but now that everyone didn’t dare to go out, and the vegetables and meat stored at home were almost running out, let alone snacks.

Xia Weishuang did not dislike it. She took a piece and ate it, expressing that she accepted the other party’s gratitude.

To pass the time, Xia Weishuang even played poker with them. After fate was changed, Xia Yu and Jingui could finally fulfill their promise.

Time passed bit by bit. Xia Yu kept losing to Xia Weishuang and was quite depressed. He didn’t want to play cards anymore and asked, “Do you think that person will really come?”

But as soon as he finished speaking, a person nimbly jumped over the wall. He was wearing sportswear, his body was agile and strong, a short-haired man, wearing a Sun Wukong mask.

The slapped-in-the-face Xia Yu: “…”

The man in the Wukong mask landed and turned around, and was immediately stunned. “…” He seemed not to have expected that there were so many living people in this house.

“It’s him! Get him!” Xia Weishuang reacted the fastest. She immediately threw down her cards, stood up, and rushed towards him.

The man in the Wukong mask immediately made a move to jump back. Xia Weishuang picked up the small stool under her butt and threw it at him with a whoosh. The man in the Wukong mask let out a howl and hugged his head, dodging it.

Xia Yu, Xia Qingxue, and Jingui, who was simply angry that someone had trespassed, rushed forward together and, with their superior numbers, captured the newcomer.

“Tell me, who are you? Why did you climb my wall?” Jingui pressed the man in the Wukong mask’s arm and asked irritably.

“Hiss… gently, gently, brother, I didn’t do it on purpose!” the man in the Wukong mask said. “I thought this house was empty.”

“Can you climb it even if it’s empty? How can you be so shameless!”

“…” The man in the Wukong mask sincerely asked for advice. “If there are people, you won’t let me climb. If there are no people, you won’t let me climb. Then should I sleep on the side of the road?”

Xia Qingxue was amused by his humor even when he was about to die. “Why are you wearing a Sun Wukong mask? It’s like you’re about to rob a bank. You don’t look like a good person.”

She snatched the man’s mask off, revealing a fair and handsome baby face underneath. Xia Qingxue was surprised. “Wow, classmate, are you an adult yet?”

The baby-faced man: “…Thank you for praising me for being young. I just graduated from university this year.”

Xia Qingxue’s face changed. She immediately put away her concern for the minor and said fiercely, “Tell me, who are you? There’s no one like you in our village. What are you trying to do, being so sneaky!”

The baby-faced man grimaced and said, “I’ll confess, I’ll confess. Can you let me up first? It hurts, it really hurts.”

So a moment later, he was pressed to the living room and sat on a small stool.

Jingui and Xia Yu, the two men, held the baby-faced man’s shoulders on either side like they were escorting a prisoner. Xia Weishuang sat in front of him and interrogated him. Xia Qingxue was responsible for guarding the door.

Xia Weishuang said, “Confess.”

The baby-faced man was taken aback. “No, why aren’t you playing by the rules? In this situation, shouldn’t you be asking me my name and what my purpose is for coming here?”

Xia Weishuang said with a good temper, “No need to be so troublesome. You can just confess yourself.”

From this person’s temper, he was not the honest type. To provide the other party with a pole to climb on? Xia Weishuang was not that stupid.

To deal with this kind of person, first let him talk himself, and then find the loopholes in his words to make the other party tell the truth.

Sure enough, after the baby-faced man said his name, he began to make things up. He said that he had accidentally entered the village, encountered zombies, and wanted to find a safe place to rest, and so on, and that he had no other intentions.

Xia Weishuang keenly caught a few flaws and pressed him, “You said you thought this house was empty? How did you determine that? Why did you think so, and you were even very surprised when you saw us, as if your own judgment was foolproof.”

“Secondly, you didn’t just arrive today. You arrived at least yesterday. In another house in our village, we found traces of an outsider’s intrusion.”

“And, you have an ability. Don’t pretend to be an ordinary person. Don’t ask me why I know. We are the ones asking you now.”

The baby-faced Wei Yunlang: “…”

Forced, he had no choice but to tell the truth. “Actually, I know a little about feng shui. And I didn’t come here by mistake. I came here on purpose.”

Xia Weishuang looked at him quietly. “…”

Wei Yunlang showed his small tiger teeth and smiled, saying, “Buddha guided me to come and eliminate the disaster star. I just wanted to experience the feeling of being a savior, amen.”

Xia Weishuang: “Feng shui is from Taoism.”

Wei Yunlang: “Don’t mind the details.”
