Monster Girlfriend(Apocalypse) 47

Chapter 47

As soon as the woman spoke, the relationship between the two of them became obvious.

Xia Weishuang and this woman knew each other, and their relationship was very bad. In this situation, it seemed to put Xia Weishuang and the others at an even greater disadvantage.

Bai Qian fell to the ground, supported herself with her hands, and slowly stood up. This time, no one stopped her, because the woman had been looking at Xia Weishuang. After Xia Weishuang appeared, the woman’s interest and attention had all shifted to her.

Xia Weishuang’s expression was normal. She did not show any fear of the woman’s gun and power, nor did she have any other reaction. Everything was as bland as plain water, making people feel bored.

She said, “It seems that I’m not dead, which disappoints you. But I’m not in the mood to entertain guests right now. Gu Minzhi, I don’t know what prey you’re talking about. If you want to find it, find it quickly. After you’re done, leave quickly. I don’t want to see you, and I know you don’t want to see me either.”

Gu Minzhi smiled and said, “Don’t be so distant. After all, we’re alumni, even though you’re a psycho.”

Compared to what she said, her smile and expression were much more polite. Just by looking at her expression, one might even think that she and Xia Weishuang were good friends.

Xia Weishuang frowned. Her expression was hidden by the shadows and the mask, so it was not very clear.

She took a step back and said, “It’s already late. What do you want to do? It’s best to resolve it quickly.”

Gu Minzhi hooked the stray hair by her ear and said flirtatiously, “Can’t I just catch up with you, Xia Wei…”

“Miss Gu,” a low-voiced woman interrupted Gu Minzhi. She had been standing silently beside Gu Minzhi, holding a submachine gun, and warily observing the surroundings to protect Gu Minzhi’s safety.

This woman had no presence. It was only after she spoke that everyone noticed her. She had short hair, a darker complexion, and was so tall that she was almost mistaken for a man.

“Miss Gu, we don’t have much time to waste. Mr. Gu’s commission is to safely deliver you to him, and it does not include helping you hunt. This is already an extra service.”

The smile on Gu Minzhi’s face disappeared. She rolled her eyes and said, “I know.”

Gu Minzhi had her men turn on their flashlights and, while shining them into the lobby, she led them inside. They were not polite at all, as if they completely regarded this place as their own territory. A large group of people poured in, and the deserted furniture city was soon filled with people. Xia Weishuang and Bai Qian were squeezed into a corner.

This feeling of being despised made one’s blood boil. However, Xia Weishuang knew Gu Minzhi’s character, so she was not too angry. Besides, the other party had a large number of people and had very dangerous weapons. Now, Xia Weishuang only hoped that Gu Minzhi would leave quickly after not finding her prey.

Everything seemed to be going according to Xia Weishuang’s plan. They found the bloody paw prints in the living room and followed them all the way to the bathroom. Gu Minzhi and the female bodyguard beside her stood at the front. Through the bathroom’s glass window, they saw the bloody paw prints disappear outside the window.

Losing her prey made Gu Minzhi very angry. She had a sullen face and was very unhappy. She turned and walked over with big strides. The bodyguard beside her was silent and followed Gu Minzhi’s actions.

Bai Qian quietly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that they would leave after not finding anything.

But it was clear that Xia Weishuang’s previous act of avoiding the other party was not meaningless. When Gu Minzhi walked up to Xia Weishuang, she suddenly stopped. She paused, turned to the side, looked at Xia Weishuang, and her attitude was very tough. “Why did that cat run in here?”

Xia Weishuang did not show a trace of guilt. “How would I know? We were just resting. We didn’t see anything.”

“…” Gu Minzhi narrowed her eyes, as if she was thinking about something, and then asked, “It’s very quiet around here, not even a few zombies. Do you know why?”

Xia Weishuang said coldly, “I don’t know.”

Gu Minzhi sneered and said, “Could it be that you don’t know anything, and you dare to leave the window ajar? I thought people like you would have to lock the doors and windows tightly to sleep peacefully.”

“Ajar?” Xia Weishuang raised her sharp chin and looked up at the second floor along the bloody paw prints, still looking unshaken. “The window on the second floor is open? Then I should thank this cat you’re talking about. We’ve been resting on the first floor these past few days and haven’t noticed.”

Gu Minzhi still looked a little skeptical. Xia Weishuang said, “What, do you want to check?”

Just as Xia Weishuang knew what kind of person Gu Minzhi was, Gu Minzhi also knew how difficult Xia Weishuang was to deal with. This woman looked weak and harmless on the surface, but she was actually very scheming. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to bewitch Sang Lu to the point of losing her life.

Gu Minzhi pouted and said no.

Xia Weishuang saw her guest off again. “Then let’s go. Miss Gu looks very busy. I won’t waste your time.”

But Gu Minzhi didn’t want to do as she wished and said with a malicious smile, “Don’t. I’ve never liked to return empty-handed. Since that cat ran away, I’ll take Miss Xia instead. To meet is fate. Xia Weishuang, for the sake of our past acquaintance, I’ll give you a ride. Don’t thank me too much.”

Even if this person’s words sounded nice, her words did not hide her blatant malice. Only a fool would go with her.

However, now Xia Weishuang and Bai Qian had no right to refuse. No matter how you looked at it, the two of them were at an absolute disadvantage. If Gu Minzhi were a little more ruthless and killed the two of them here directly, there would probably be no bad consequences.

Bai Qian didn’t know what kind of feud these two had in the past. She stood in the middle and said to Gu Minzhi, “Is this Miss Gu? I don’t know what your relationship with Little Shuang was in the past, but Little Shuang can’t leave now. We’re planning to wait for other friends here. We’ll just accept your kind intentions.”

Gu Minzhi looked at Bai Qian, then at Xia Weishuang, and deliberately sneered, “Is this your new mistress? She’s not bad-looking, but her taste is not very good.”

Xia Weishuang’s eyes immediately turned cold. “Not everyone is as promiscuous as Miss Gu.”

The smell of gunpowder spread between the two of them. Seeing this, Bai Qian quickly pulled Xia Weishuang and advised her to calm down. The female bodyguard beside Gu Minzhi also spoke, “Miss Gu, it’s time to go.”

Gu Minzhi took a deep breath, raised her hand, and grabbed Xia Weishuang. “I’m taking you with me today. What can you do… Achoo!”

A sneeze came out, and everyone present fell silent.

Gu Minzhi slowly raised her hand and covered her nose. “I’ve been wanting to ask since just now. Even if you’re afraid of death, there’s no need to spray so much mosquito repellent, right? Achoo!”

Xia Weishuang pulled her hand back, took out a bottle of mosquito repellent from her pocket, and sprayed a few more times. “Yes, I’m just afraid of death.”

Gu Minzhi: “…”

Xia Weishuang smiled faintly and asked, “What, are you still going to take me with you?”

Gu Minzhi gritted her teeth and said, “Don’t think I’ll let you go just because of this. Let’s go!”

Even though she was unwilling, Xia Weishuang still had to leave with Gu Minzhi. But before she left, she said, “Wait, I need to take some things with me.”

Gu Minzhi waved her hand impatiently. Xia Weishuang clutched her stomach and went back to the bedding shop with Bai Qian. Bai Qian said anxiously, “Little Shuang, what’s that person like? If you really can’t, you should just run.”

Xia Weishuang shook her head and said, “I can’t run far in my current state. It’s better to go with her for now. Sister Qian, don’t worry. No matter how bold Gu Minzhi is, she wouldn’t dare to kill me in front of so many people. I’m still safe for now.”

Bai Qian gave a bitter smile. “Now that you say that, I’m even more worried. What kind of conflict do you have with her?”

“It’s nothing.” It would be a long story to talk about this. Xia Weishuang just simply explained, “We were love rivals in the past… hmm, one-sided.”

Bai Qian packed her things for her. “If you leave, what about these things?”

Xia Weishuang put a few packs of sanitary napkins and two bottles of mosquito repellent in her bag, and didn’t take much else. “I’ll leave these here for now. Maybe I’ll have a chance to come back.”

When she was leaving the shop, Bai Qian grabbed Xia Weishuang’s wrist and said, “Little Shuang, no matter what happens, safety first. I’ll find a way to save you.”

Xia Weishuang didn’t want Bai Qian to take risks for her, so she pulled down her mask and showed a relaxed smile. “Sister Qian, if she sends me directly to the rescue station, maybe it will be my turn to save you.”

Bai Qian showed a faint sadness and said, “If that’s the case, don’t come back. I don’t want to leave here. I think it’s very good now.”

The two of them held each other’s hands and, with blessings for each other, said a silent farewell.

An old friend they had just reunited with for a day was about to part again. This world had suddenly fallen into chaos overnight. Everything had become unpredictable, making everyone wonder if life was really so impermanent.

Perhaps because her recent experiences were too complicated, Xia Weishuang accepted it well. She took a bag and got into Gu Minzhi’s car. When she was leaving with them, she realized that this team not only had people, but also a mutated giant snake.

The giant snake was coiled on the car, protecting Gu Minzhi’s safety, making this team look even more reliable.

Compared to the car that Xia Weishuang had randomly found, this team’s cars were all high-chassis, large-tonnage vehicles. The one leading the way was a truck. It was even more satisfying to run over zombies.

But also because the team was large, after leaving this area, they attracted more zombies, including many powerful evolved zombies. They bravely attacked in the hail of bullets, and occasionally one of them would be injured.

At such times, they had no choice but to abandon their former teammates and continue to flee.

Gu Minzhi’s car was in the very center and was tightly protected. After Xia Weishuang got into the car, she closed her eyes and leaned back to rest. The menstrual cramps made her not want to say anything. Because she was covered in mosquito repellent, after a while, the entire interior of the car became choking.

Gu Minzhi had tried to find trouble with her several times, but had been defeated by a sneeze when she opened her mouth.

Finally, Gu Minzhi couldn’t bear it anymore. She opened the window to let in some air. The wind carried out the smell of mosquito repellent, and a faint smell of blood.

Not long after the smell of mosquito repellent had dissipated, the female bodyguard who had been following Gu Minzhi suddenly smelled something strange. She asked, “Are you on your period?”

Xia Weishuang let out a “hmm.”

The female bodyguard raised her hand to close the window. Gu Minzhi said unhappily, “It’s so troublesome. There’s no need to close the window, right? Anyway, there are so many zombies whether it’s closed or not.”

The female bodyguard said in a low voice, “Miss Gu, you’re not the one in danger. You can afford to not care about this risk. But I hope you understand that at a time like this, when any low-probability event happens to an individual, it will cause a 100% tragedy.”

This person was too disrespectful to her. Gu Minzhi was a little impatient. She sneered and closed the window again.

“Fine, I’ll close the window. But I also hope you understand that you’re being paid to do a job. You chose this path yourself.”

The female bodyguard didn’t say much. She didn’t care about Gu Minzhi’s opinion. Even though she had taken this mission not just for the money, but also to repay a favor to her former superior.

She continued to sit quietly by the door, maintaining a posture ready to act at any time.

Because she had been rebuked by the female bodyguard, Gu Minzhi was in a very bad mood. She grabbed Xia Weishuang’s long hair and said through gritted teeth, “Actually, I also feel very sorry for the people who died. Tell me, Xia Weishuang, why wasn’t it you who died?”

Xia Weishuang still had her eyes closed, her eyelashes fluttering.

She knew that Gu Minzhi’s words had a double meaning. The so-called dead people not only referred to the bodyguards who were protecting her outside, but also to Sang Lu.

Gu Minzhi was Sang Lu’s childhood friend. The two families were old friends. According to Gu Minzhi, they had grown up together. It was just a pity that she had thought Sang Lu was straight, so she had always suppressed herself. She didn’t expect Xia Weishuang to get there first.

In the past, when she said this, Xia Weishuang would always retort, “Sang Lu is so smart. Do you think she didn’t see through your thoughts? She just gave you face and didn’t expose you. In fact, she just doesn’t like you. Even if you confessed from childhood to adulthood, she wouldn’t agree.”

Gu Minzhi couldn’t refute Xia Weishuang and became angry out of shame, and became enemies with Xia Weishuang.

Gu Minzhi found Xia Weishuang extremely unpleasant. In her opinion, besides her face, Xia Weishuang had nothing that was worthy of Sang Lu. She was just a boring and bland student. Did she still want to play the role of Cinderella and climb up to someone like Sang Lu?

Sang Lu’s relationship with her family was actually very bad. In the past, Gu Minzhi had thought that she was Sang Lu’s closest and most trusted friend. After Xia Weishuang appeared, she couldn’t accept it. She firmly believed that Sang Lu was just playing around and persistently found fault with Xia Weishuang, only to be beaten back by Sang Lu again and again.

Later, Sang Lu directly told her that if she targeted Xia Weishuang again, she would not hold back, and there would be no more friendship between them.

Gu Minzhi had always thought that their two families were old friends, and their family forces were intertwined in an alliance. Sang Lu would never be so disrespectful to her.

But in fact, Sang Lu was just that ruthless. She did what she said, and she didn’t even give her own family face. In the end, Gu Minzhi had no choice but to admit that Xia Weishuang was indeed different to Sang Lu.

She temporarily held her fire, thinking, there’s still a long time. Even if these two are good, how long can they be good for? Sang Lu’s family will never accept Xia Weishuang. They will continue to put pressure on her. I don’t believe Sang Lu can protect Xia Weishuang forever.

As a result, before the future of the two of them breaking up that she had imagined came, Sang Lu died.

Without any warning, she had died on the way to see Xia Weishuang.

Sang Lu was like a shooting star in the sky, so dazzling, yet she had fallen at the most brilliant moment of her life. How could anyone accept this?

For some reason, Sang Lu’s family did not take revenge on Xia Weishuang. After all, even if they did nothing, Xia Weishuang had driven herself crazy.

Gu Minzhi was different. She was jealous of Xia Weishuang, perhaps not just because of Sang Lu, but also because Xia Weishuang’s existence had severely damaged her confidence.

There was nothing more satisfying than seeing the person you hate fall into eternal madness and regret. Every time Xia Weishuang felt better, Gu Minzhi would appear to remind her of the heavy sin she carried.

She wanted to completely destroy this woman, to show Sang Lu that she had loved the wrong person.

Xia Weishuang opened her eyes, slapped Gu Minzhi’s hand away, and said, “I’ve often thought about this question too. Why wasn’t it me who died? Not just in the past, but just now too. If I had died, would I not have to face today?”

Her expression was weary and a little dead. For a moment, Gu Minzhi didn’t know if she was mocking her, or if she really had the will to die.

The car fell silent. Gu Minzhi looked away, gave a dry laugh, and said, “It’s not hard to die, is it? I’ll just throw you on the road later and grant you your wish.”

She had wanted to scare Xia Weishuang, but Xia Weishuang actually let out a “hmm” and said, “Okay, that’s a good choice. I hope you do it soon.”

Gu Minzhi: “…”

At this time, Gu Minzhi had not yet realized the deep meaning of Xia Weishuang’s words, until a commotion came from behind, as if they had encountered an extremely difficult enemy, which even this group of special bodyguards with knives and guns could not handle.

Gu Minzhi turned her head to look back and couldn’t help but show a look of seeing a ghost. “Sang Lu?!”

As expected, she had caught up…

Xia Weishuang’s hands, which were hanging by her side, were tightly clenched, her nails digging into her palms. She sat up straight and said, “Let me down. You still have a chance.”
