Monster Girlfriend(Apocalypse) 46

Chapter 46

This summer was much hotter than before. In previous years, by late August, the nights would always be cooler.

But this year was different. Even at night, it was unbearably stuffy, especially in a tightly sealed tent, and especially when this tent was sprayed with mosquito repellent.

Resting in this environment, Xia Weishuang slept very restlessly. In addition, she was worried and afraid of being caught by Sang Lu. She was in a state of waking and sleeping intermittently all night.

Sometimes, she would wake up suddenly and see Sang Lu, which would scare her.

But that was just her illusion. Sang Lu was lying beside her, smiling helplessly and indulgently, tempting her to open the tent a little so she wouldn’t suffocate herself.

Xia Weishuang shook her head and stayed awake until dawn.

The bright light of the morning came through the curtains and then through the tent, becoming very faint. But in the eyes of someone who had been staring at the darkness for a long time, it was still conspicuous enough.

It was dawn, and Sang Lu… had not caught up.

Xia Weishuang couldn’t say if she was happy or not. Her heart was heavy. When she sat up, stroking her chest, she actually had a feeling of being in a different world.

It was only at this time that Xia Weishuang truly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the mosquito repellent was indeed useful. She had sprayed the mosquito repellent in the car after leaving the fishing tackle shop. Even if Sang Lu had chased her to the fishing tackle shop, she wouldn’t be able to find the next place, because she didn’t know that Xia Weishuang had sprayed mosquito repellent and wouldn’t connect the two.

But how long could she hide from her? Did she have to live in the smell of mosquito repellent forever?

What should I do next?

Xia Weishuang’s mind was in a mess, and she didn’t know what to do.

A hand gently rested on Xia Weishuang’s shoulder. The illusory Sang Lu leaned against her shoulder and said, “Don’t be afraid. I will be with you. Get some more sleep.”

Xia Weishuang nodded and said okay.

This time, she opened the tent a little to let in some air. The temperature would rise faster after dawn, and she didn’t want to really suffocate herself.

She slept until noon. Xia Weishuang was covered in a cold sweat, hot and dry. She felt very uncomfortable when she woke up.

But at least she had slept long enough, and her spirits had finally relaxed. The negative emotions that had been building up in her heart had also dissipated a lot.

Xia Weishuang drank two mouthfuls of water, took a deep breath of the air filled with the smell of mosquito repellent and the stench of rotting zombies, and opened the tent zipper.

It was one thing to huddle in the tent at night, but it was really not okay during the day. Besides, even if she could endure hiding inside all the time, she was too embarrassed to let Bai Qian support her.

Bai Qian had been waiting for her outside the door for a long time. Seeing her come out, she greeted her and told her to eat.

“Little Shuang, you don’t look very well.”

Xia Weishuang let out a “hmm,” rubbed her stomach, and said, “Maybe it’s because I haven’t been eating well these past few days. My stomach is not feeling well.”

Bai Qian looked at her pale face carefully and said with concern, “Then you should rest more. The zombies in this area have all been eliminated by Coal Ball. You can relax a little.”

Speaking of Coal Ball, Xia Weishuang looked around this large and empty furniture city and saw many cats, but not Coal Ball.

“Where’s Coal Ball?”

Bai Qian said, “Coal Ball has gone out to hunt. Although its ability is powerful, it also needs a lot of food and a strange kind of stone. You also have an ability, so you should know that there are crystals in the zombies’ brains.”

Xia Weishuang nodded.

Bai Qian continued, “Coal Ball likes to eat this, so it often goes out to fight zombies. This is also good. It can fill its stomach, and we are also safer.”

Knowing that Coal Ball was not always by Bai Qian’s side, Xia Weishuang was a little worried. After all, Bai Qian’s ability was the same as hers, with no attack power.

Seeing Xia Weishuang’s expression, Bai Qian guessed her thoughts and smiled. “It’s fine. If I’m looking for it, I can just have the other cats go out. It won’t be far away.”

“That’s quite convenient,” Xia Weishuang said.

After eating, Bai Qian actually took out a laptop with an external power supply and wanted to watch the movies stored on it with Xia Weishuang.

It was just a pity that there was no internet, and there was nothing else they could do.

To be able to find entertainment at a time like this, Bai Qian’s life was indeed not bad. Xia Weishuang’s heart suddenly calmed down a lot.

She had thought that she could relax for a while longer, but it turned out that as long as a person was alive, they had to face all sorts of messy things. In the evening, Xia Weishuang found that her period had come early.

The days of running around, the mental tension, the inability to rest well… this had caused her period to not only come early, but also to become much more difficult to bear. The only fortunate thing was that Xia Weishuang had ready-made sanitary napkins in her car.

This was the first time it had been so painful. It was as if there was a bug wreaking havoc in her abdomen. Her whole body was cold and she was covered in a cold sweat.

Bai Qian was scared by her reaction and almost thought that Xia Weishuang had acute appendicitis or something. When she learned that she was on her period, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Xia Weishuang was in a lot of pain and was very uncomfortable huddled in her tent. Her body was uncomfortable, and the external environment was also uncomfortable. At this moment, she couldn’t help but wonder what the point of living was. It would be better to die.

Thinking of this, she simply took down the tent. Anyway, she had been to other places in the furniture city. The tent was not of much use. Before, she was afraid that if she stayed in the same place all the time, her scent would be too strong and hard to cover up, so she had added a tent. But now it was too uncomfortable. It was better to spray more mosquito repellent.

The illusory Sang Lu hugged her from behind and gently rubbed her stomach. Xia Weishuang seemed to have really received some comfort from her, and her furrowed brows relaxed a lot.

Before dark, Bai Qian came to knock on the door again and told her to eat something. But Xia Weishuang had no appetite at all and couldn’t eat after a few bites.

“Wait a minute. Don’t sleep yet.”

Xia Weishuang didn’t close the door. She sat in the shop, sprayed some more mosquito repellent on herself, and waited for Bai Qian to come over.

Bai Qian came over with a basin of hot water. She opened a self-heating hot pot, took out the heating pack, and boiled a small basin of hot water. She added some sugar to it for Xia Weishuang to drink.

Xia Weishuang was very moved. She did not disappoint Bai Qian’s kindness and drank the hot sugar water clean, then went back to lie down and rest.

This basin of hot sugar water effectively relieved the pain in Xia Weishuang’s abdomen and the coldness in her body, making her feel much more relaxed and able to go back to sleep.

As a result, also because of this basin of hot sugar water, Xia Weishuang was woken up in the middle of the night by the urge to pee and had to go to the toilet with a flashlight to solve her physiological problem.

The furniture city was empty, and there was no one around, nor were there any zombies. Bai Qian was probably also asleep at this time. Xia Weishuang could only hear the sound of cats running around in the middle of the night.

Cats are nocturnal creatures and are full of energy at night. After Xia Weishuang had solved her physiological problem and had just pulled up her pants, she saw the shadow of a small cat flash past in front of her.

It startled her.

Xia Weishuang put the used sanitary napkin in a plastic bag, tied it tightly, and then washed her hands.

Although this furniture city was very deserted, it was quite convenient that the water had not been cut off.

But just at this moment, she heard a shrill cat’s cry from a distance.

This sound… it was Coal Ball!

Xia Weishuang quickly came to the glass window and listened carefully. She only heard that Coal Ball’s voice was full of anger, and it was getting closer and closer. As it got closer, there were many other sounds.

A dull, strange cracking sound, the sound of a car running, the sound of people talking…

Xia Weishuang’s face changed. She was about to climb the stairs to find Bai Qian, but just as she had run two steps, a sharp pain came from her abdomen.

Xia Weishuang gritted her teeth, rubbed her stomach, and ran up to the second floor weakly.

Where was Bai Qian… that’s right, she seemed to be on the other end.

Just as Xia Weishuang ran over, Bai Qian happened to come out, so she didn’t have to trouble her to look for her from shop to shop.

“What’s going on?” Bai Qian was also woken up by the noise outside. After she came here, the nights had always been very quiet. This was the first time it had been so lively.

“I’m not sure,” Xia Weishuang frowned and said. “Coal Ball seems to be being attacked. It’s getting closer and closer, and that group of people should be coming over too. I’m worried that someone is attacking Coal Ball as a terrifying monster and won’t let it go.”

Bai Qian was startled. Her expression was serious. She raised her hand and whistled.

Soon, all twenty or so cats in the furniture city came to her and meowed around her.

Bai Qian whistled again, and the cats quieted down. She crouched down, and while stroking a cat’s head, she said, “All of you, go and find a safe place to hide. Stay away from the furniture city. Unless I summon you, don’t come back casually!”

“Meow, meow, meow…”

The cats that had received the command immediately scattered and fled.

Then Bai Qian turned to Xia Weishuang and said, “Little Shuang, you go and rest first. I’ll open the window for Coal Ball when it comes back. I’ll pretend there’s no one here. It’ll be fine.”

Xia Weishuang shook her head. “I can’t be at ease until I see Coal Ball. Sister Qian, I’ll wait with you.”

After a while, Coal Ball was chased to the front of the furniture city. It had already turned into a small black ball and was hard to find in the night. It was also because of this that it had managed to shake off that group of people and sneak back.

But Coal Ball seemed to be injured. It jumped to the second floor with some difficulty. Bai Qian immediately opened the window to let it in and then closed the window tightly.

Xia Weishuang’s eyes were sharp, and she immediately saw the bloodstains on the windowsill. She immediately crouched down to look at Coal Ball.

Coal Ball meowed pitifully and showed its wound to the humans—one of its small legs was injured and was bleeding.

Xia Weishuang said in a low voice, “Crap! If there’s blood, that group of people is very likely to find this place.”

“Then what do we do? If we tell them that Coal Ball is not a zombie, they should leave, right?”

“Not necessarily. This world is too chaotic now. We’re not sure if the people who are coming are enemies or friends. It’s better to be on the safe side.”

Bai Qian’s heart ached. She tore off a piece of a clean pillowcase and bandaged Coal Ball, but the bleeding wouldn’t stop. Coal Ball lay on the ground weakly, looking very bad.

Xia Weishuang carried Coal Ball behind the cabinet and shone a flashlight on its wound. She found that there was a bullet embedded in it. That group of people actually had a gun. No wonder. The strange cracking sound she had heard earlier should have been the sound of a gun with a silencer.

The sound of cars driving outside was getting louder and louder, not far from here.

Xia Weishuang immediately pulled Bai Qian up, opened the window that had just been closed a crack, and said ruthlessly, “Coal Ball, you run on the ground and follow us!”

Bai Qian was puzzled and heartbroken. Just as she was about to ask what to do, Xia Weishuang explained as she acted, “There’s no time. Hurry up and bring the traces of your life to my place. It’s okay if you can’t bring everything.”

Holding Bai Qian’s pillow and quilt, Xia Weishuang and Bai Qian ran downstairs. Coal Ball limped behind them.

When they reached the lobby on the first floor, Xia Weishuang ordered Coal Ball to stop. “Go to the bathroom!”

She carried Bai Qian’s pillow and quilt into her temporary little nest. There was more than one bed in this bedding shop.

Then Xia Weishuang found a bottle of Yunnan Baiyao spray and bandages, ran to the bathroom, and used a clean small knife to dig out the bullet from Coal Ball’s leg. Fortunately, Coal Ball’s body was small now, and there was not much flesh on its leg, so the bullet was easy to dig out.

In fact, if it had been shot when it was this small, the bullet should have gone through. But now it was still inside, so it should have been hit after it had grown bigger.

After spraying Yunnan Baiyao on Coal Ball and wrapping it tightly with a bandage, Xia Weishuang said, “Coal Ball, climb out. It’s best to make it look like you’ve left from the outside, and then come back.”

Coal Ball’s paws were covered in blood. It climbed out with its bloody paw prints. Because the wound on its leg was bandaged, the bleeding had mostly stopped, and the bloody paw prints became lighter and lighter and finally disappeared.

Xia Weishuang and Bai Qian waved, and Coal Ball couldn’t wait to climb back.

They stuffed it into another shop and let it hide in a hidden corner.

Just as they had done all this, the few cars stopped at the entrance of the furniture city.

At first, Xia Weishuang and Bai Qian wanted to try to pretend that there was no one inside and get away with it, but the newcomers were obviously not so easy to fool.

In the silent night, all sounds were very loud. Xia Weishuang heard an annoying voice say with a smile:

“Is anyone there? Open the door. I’ll count to three. If you don’t open it, I’ll break it down.”

This voice… Xia Weishuang’s expression immediately turned ugly.

“One.”

“Two.”

“Wait!” Bai Qian still wanted to stay here for a few more days and didn’t want them to destroy the main door.

“Oh, so there is someone,” the person said with a malicious smile. “Please open the door. Our prey seems to have run here.”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about. What prey? I didn’t see anything,” Bai Qian said coldly.

“It’s okay if you didn’t see it. I can go in and search myself. It seems you’re not very welcoming? Then there’s no choice. I can only break down the door.”

“Wait!” The newcomer was completely unreasonable, but Bai Qian had no choice but to yield. “I’ll open the door for you.”

Xia Weishuang stuffed the flashlight into her hand, took a step back, and said in a low voice, “Just say you didn’t see anything later. You’ve been resting on the first floor. If they press you, just say that you’ve recently reunited with your sister and feel safe together.”

“Little Shuang, you…”

Xia Weishuang frowned. “I won’t show my face for now. If I do, it might be more troublesome.”

“You know that person outside?”

“Yes,” Xia Weishuang said. “That person and I have had a feud before.”

The people outside were already urging her. Bai Qian had to temporarily put aside her questions and ran to open the door for them.

Xia Weishuang retreated to her little nest, stood in the shadows with a mask on, and looked out through the glass door.

As soon as the door opened, Bai Qian was unceremoniously pushed aside. A thin and beautiful woman with a neat short cut and earrings walked in first.

Following her was a group of her bodyguards.

At a time like this, she was still wearing high heels, which showed how confident she was.

The woman was playing with a handgun in her hand. She spun it around, looked around the empty lobby, and suddenly smiled. The muzzle of the gun was immediately pointed at Bai Qian.

“You’re not the only one here, are you? Tell your companions to come out. If they don’t, I’ll put a hole in you.”

Xia Weishuang stood in the shadows. She had no choice but to push open the door and walk out.

The woman saw Xia Weishuang and narrowed her eyes. “Take off your mask.”

Xia Weishuang was silent for a moment, then said, “No need. It’s me.”

The woman was taken aback, then she broke into a smile. “Xia Weishuang? It’s you. How are you not dead yet!”
