Monster Girlfriend(Apocalypse) 40

Chapter 40

“Little Xue, don’t be willful.” Xia Weishuang gripped the steering wheel tightly, her eyes fixed on the road ahead.

Xia Qingxue neatly fastened her seatbelt, closed the car door, and said resentfully, “That’s what I wanted to say to you.”

The car behind drove to the left. Wei Yunlang rolled down the window a crack and said to them, “Let’s go! The zombies are surrounding us!”

A muffled sound came from the back of the car almost at the same time. Wei Yunlang let out a curse and pointed back with a backhand. A golden light descended, and the zombie swayed as if it were dazed, spun in a circle, and fell.

“You’re that powerful?” Xia Yu, who was in the same car, was surprised. “Why didn’t you do anything just now?”

Wei Yunlang snorted and said, “If I had done something just now, I would have been the one to die. Kid, to survive in this world, you have to learn to judge the situation.”

“Let’s go back first.” Xia Yu looked left and right. Seeing that there were zombies running towards them, he started the car and drove a distance. He honked the horn, attracting the nearby zombies to the back of his car, relieving the pressure on Xia Weishuang and the others.

Seeing that the other car had already driven away, Xia Weishuang knew that she couldn’t make Xia Qingxue get out. She could only silently drive back to the village.

When they reached the entrance of the house, Xia Weishuang braked hard and then reversed, crushing a zombie’s head.

“Let’s go in first. It’s not safe outside,” Xia Weishuang said in a low voice, lacking energy.

Xia Qingxue looked at her warily, raised her hand, and wiped her red and swollen eyes. “No, you get out of the car first.”

Xia Weishuang’s hand on the steering wheel tightened slightly. She smiled and comforted Xia Qingxue, “Little Xue, don’t overthink it. I won’t be impulsive.”

“Then what are you trying to do?” Xia Qingxue was so sad that she was about to cry again. “Xiaoxiao is already gone. Sis, I can’t lose you too.”

“You still have Second Uncle and Second Aunt.”

“But I can’t be without you either.” Xia Qingxue bit her lower lip hard, holding back her tears, which made her sob. “Don’t be impulsive. Let’s think about what to do together, okay? Let’s go home first.”

Bang, bang, bang, bang!

After they stopped the car, the zombies quickly caught up and tirelessly rammed the car with their bodies, scratching the glass with their sharp claws.

Xia Qingxue’s choked voice was like a small knife, cutting Xia Weishuang’s heart one by one. Xia Weishuang didn’t dare to look at her. She lowered her head, sniffled, and instructed:

“I’ll leave Lele to you. Her ability is very special and will attract zombies. I guess the stronger her ability, the stronger the attraction. She’s still too young to protect herself, and if this ability is exposed, it will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble. So Little Xue, unless it’s absolutely necessary, don’t let her use her ability.”

Xia Qingxue nodded randomly and said she knew.

Xia Weishuang continued, “Also, the country’s rescue may not be able to cover this place. At the beginning of the zombie outbreak, everyone was caught off guard. The more densely populated the place, the more likely it is to suffer heavy losses. Now that the zombies have collectively evolved a second time, the situation is getting worse and worse. You can’t just wait. Once you receive news of the establishment of a rescue point, hurry up and go there. Little Xue, your ability is very useful. If you’re in trouble on the way, you can try to reveal it to the officials and let them help.”

Xia Qingxue couldn’t control herself anymore, and her tears flowed like two small rivers. “Sis, why are you so long-winded today? It’s so annoying. I don’t want to hear this. You’re here. I don’t want to care about this.”

Xia Weishuang was not angry that she was bad-mouthing her. She smiled and said, “Don’t cry. You’re such a big girl. Second Uncle and Second Aunt will be counting on you in the future. You have to be strong. No matter what happens, you have to take care of your body.”

Xia Qingxue reached out and hooked Xia Weishuang’s finger, crying as she asked, “What about you? Where are you going?”

Xia Weishuang pursed her dry lips. She picked up a bottle of mineral water, unscrewed it, and took two large gulps, using the cool water to calm herself down. After tightening the bottle, she turned her face and gave Xia Qingxue a forced, relaxed smile:

“I’m going to find Sang Lu. Don’t be afraid. Nothing will happen. Sang Lu is easy to coax and very powerful. As long as I go along with her, I’ll be the safest. You don’t have to worry about me the most.”

“You’re full of shit!” For the first time in her life, Xia Qingxue swore at Xia Weishuang. She excitedly tried to get up, hit her head on the roof of the car, and then, holding the back of the seat, she said excitedly to Xia Weishuang, “Others may not know, but how could I not know? I know best how you’ve been these past three years. Even if you can deceive yourself, don’t even think about deceiving me.”

Bang! The zombie outside actually used its head to ram the car, causing the car to shake. A large patch of muddy filth stuck to the car window. The zombie had hit its head so hard that its neck was twisted, and it began to spin in circles.

Xia Weishuang started the car again and drove in circles with the zombies to prevent them from damaging the car. She said to Xia Qingxue, “Little Xue, calm down.”

“How do you want me to calm down?” Xia Qingxue cried and shouted, “You can’t do what you said at all! You’re a liar!”

At this moment, Xia Qingxue suddenly hated her own powerlessness. She had learned jujutsu, and her physical strength and attack power were better than ordinary people. She also had a spatial ability. Who wouldn’t be envious if she told them?

But at this time, she couldn’t save Ke Xiaoxiao, nor could she save Xia Weishuang.

“You can only deceive others with what you said,” Xia Qingxue raised her hand to wipe her tears, which were flowing more and more. “But you can’t deceive me. Only I know what you’re like to Sister Sang Lu. I’ve seen it all these past three years… You know that Sister Sang Lu is not Sister Sang Lu anymore. You know that she’s not just changed. You can’t face her at all, let alone coax her in front of her.”

“Sis, do you still remember what I said? I said you’re good at everything, except when you’re facing Sister Sang Lu.” Xia Qingxue collapsed back into her seat in sadness and cried out in frustration, “I know I’ve always been stupid, but I’m not a fool. I know in my heart… Sis, you can’t go. You can’t go…”

What should I do if my sister starts to act like a child?

Xia Weishuang was silent, driving the car in circles. She couldn’t refute Xia Qingxue, nor could she find a better excuse.

She was on the verge of collapse. The crying girl beside her was the only motivation for her to continue to act at this time.

Xia Weishuang glanced at the fuel gauge. One last lap. She stopped the car at the entrance of the Xia family’s house again. She said, “I admit that I really can’t do it, so Little Xue, I can’t implicate you. I can’t face her. She wants to hurt you, and Xiaoxiao. Xiaoxiao is already… I, Little Xue… I really can’t do it. I can’t let you continue to be in danger.”

As long as Xia Weishuang was still near Xia Qingxue, it was hard to guarantee that she wouldn’t be implicated. She had to leave. She had to leave.

Xia Weishuang said, “I can’t do what she asks.” And I don’t want to. I’m going crazy. I don’t know how to continue to face Sang Lu.

Now she just wanted to escape. Whether it was self-deception or cowardice, she just wanted to escape from everything now.

“Her target is only me. If I leave Green Mountain Village, she will also leave here. This way, you won’t be in danger. Little Xue, do you understand what I mean? Even if you don’t think for yourself, you have to think for Second Uncle and Second Aunt.”

Xia Qingxue sobbed, “Sis…”

“Get out of the car!” Xia Weishuang said sharply. “You’ve gone through so much to be reunited with your family. Do you want them to be happy for a few days and then be sad!”

Xia Qingxue sat limply in the passenger seat. Xia Weishuang raised her hand and unbuckled her seatbelt. She looked at the wall by the door. Xia Yu and Wei Yunlang were holding their weapons, ready to support the two of them at any time.

Mi Lele had actually come too. She was a little at a loss, standing on the rooftop and silently looking at the car below.

Xia Yu was afraid that the people in the car couldn’t hear him, so he shouted, “You guys come back quickly! Wei Yunlang will knock the zombies down in a while, and I’ll open the door for you!”

Xia Qingxue finally moved, but she didn’t get out of the car. Instead, she turned around and started to frantically take things out of the back seat.

Food, drinks, things to use…

“That’s enough,” Xia Weishuang grabbed Xia Qingxue’s wrist and gently shook her head. “I can’t use so much. Little Xue, stop.”

Xia Qingxue said in a fit of pique, “This was originally what you found. Since you’re leaving, I’ll give it all back to you!”

Xia Weishuang could only say, “If I take too many things, I’ll be targeted by others, and it’s very inconvenient.”

Xia Qingxue’s hand stopped in mid-air. She looked at Xia Weishuang with tears in her eyes.

Xia Weishuang avoided her gaze. “Give me the gasoline, and some of the crystals.”

Xia Qingxue’s hands trembled as she quickly took them out.

Xia Weishuang looked up at Mi Lele on the rooftop through the car window and said to Xia Qingxue, “Tell Lele I’m sorry. I broke my promise.”

Then she waved at Xia Yu, signaling them to act. After Wei Yunlang had stunned the two zombies on the car, she suddenly started the car, braked hard, and reversed, running over the zombies. Then she opened the car door and forcefully pushed Xia Qingxue out.

Xia Yu even ran out and opened the door, pulling the crying and unsteady Xia Qingxue into the house.

As he was running, he suddenly realized that something was not right. The sound of a car starting came from behind. Xia Yu turned his head and saw the black car driving forward, getting further and further away.

**

When the car reached the village monument, the weather was completely different from the day she had returned.

Today, the sun was bright, dry and hot, and the chirping of the cicadas was so loud that it was almost deafening.

Xia Weishuang temporarily stopped the car. The back seat was piled with things. She took out a new set of clothes and changed out of the old clothes that were soaked with sweat.

Xia Weishuang looked up at herself in the rearview mirror. She tried to smile, but couldn’t.

She thought she would cry, but found that there were no tears.

Xia Weishuang was even a little surprised that she could maintain her sanity until now. That’s right. She had to make sure that Little Xue was safe. She could no longer bear the pain of Little Xue having an accident.

Xia Weishuang rummaged through the pile of things that Xia Qingxue had thrown out and found a new, unopened fruit knife. She took it out, cut her left arm, which was not easy to get dirty and did not affect her movement, and dripped the blood onto her old clothes. Then she tore the old clothes into several pieces.

Sang Lu did not have the ability to predict. No matter how powerful she was, she could not lock onto Xia Weishuang’s location for no reason.

The way she looked for Xia Weishuang was by tracking her scent.

Xia Weishuang calmly threw a piece of blood-stained clothes outside the village monument, then drove the car and sped forward.

Sang Lu did not have much emotion. She would make chasing Xia Weishuang her first priority, especially when Xia Weishuang was injured and could be eaten by other things at any time. This way, Little Xue and the others would be safer.

At first, Xia Weishuang threw a piece of clothes every kilometer, then every three kilometers, then every five kilometers. The last piece, Xia Weishuang had not yet thrown out.

The sky gradually darkened, and all the mutated creatures became restless. The zombies began to become more active, and Xia Weishuang’s speed was forced to slow down a little.

But only a little.

On the road, there were others who had to travel overnight like her, but their directions were different.

Everyone was fleeing from A City, fleeing from the paradise that had been occupied by zombies. Only Xia Weishuang was crazily going against the flow, running over all the zombies that dared to stand in her way.

Fearless, never stopping, she was even a little excited, excited that she could still think calmly, excited that she still had the strength to make a choice.

The summer night was really too hot. Xia Weishuang did not turn on the air conditioner. She had to save some gas.

The desolate highway was lively yet dead. The night wind was strong at high speed. She opened the car window a little, letting the night wind blow on her face, and her black hair danced like a swarm of snakes.

Xia Weishuang raised her hand and threw the last piece of blood-stained cloth out of the car. The cloth flew backward and disappeared, and it was not known which forgotten field it would float to.

She said she would leave everyone, including Sang Lu. What would Sang Lu’s reaction be when she learned that her prey had escaped? She could not understand the emotions of ordinary people, so would she feel annoyed by this?

Xia Weishuang couldn’t help but smile.

However, a hand gently rested on Xia Weishuang’s hand that was holding the steering wheel. She turned her head and saw Sang Lu in a clean white wedding dress.

“It’s time to stop,” Sang Lu smiled at her gently, with a quiet and peaceful aura, becoming the most beautiful existence under this night sky.

She said, “You need to calm down, you need to rest.”

Xia Weishuang stared at her blankly. The car was still moving forward, running over a fallen body. The entire car suddenly stumbled and almost crashed into the side of the road.

Xia Weishuang turned her head back to look at the dark night road ahead. The strong appearance suddenly shattered at this moment. She bit her lip tightly and could not make any sound.

Sang Lu opened her arms and gently hugged her, saying, “You know, this car is about to fall apart.”

The zombies had almost smashed the front of the car. This kind of ordinary car could not last long under continuous impact.

Sang Lu said, “Shuangshuang, stop.”
