Monster Girlfriend(Apocalypse) 51

Chapter 51

Inside the beautiful but not peaceful Green Mountain Village, Wei Yunlang quickly finished his breakfast and was about to reach out with his chopsticks to grab the last peanut in the pickle dish.

“Shameless!” Xia Qingxue beat him to it and put the peanut in Mi Lele’s bowl.

Wei Yunlang chuckled, continued to drink the porridge in his bowl, and after he was done, he wiped his mouth and said, “I’m leaving.”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone at the table was stunned. “Leaving? Where are you going?”

Xia Yu said, “Didn’t you hear the loudspeaker? A rescue team will be passing by today. We have to prepare in advance and cooperate with them.”

Xia Qingxue nodded and said, “Although you’re an outsider, you can totally act with us at a time like this. It’s not easy to wait for a rescue. It’s a pity to leave now. Besides, it’s so dangerous outside. Why bother?”

Wei Yunlang put his hands on the table, his expression serious. “I don’t really want to go with the rescue team. I have my own things to do.”

“What things?”

Wei Yunlang said, “My condition was not good a few days ago, so I haven’t been divining. But I’ve rested enough today, so I did a divination for your sister.”

Xia Qingxue immediately sat up straight. She wanted to ask, but was also a little afraid of getting bad news. “What did you divine?”

Wei Yunlang said, “I divined her state and location. Don’t worry, she’s still alive.”

Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.

But at this time, Wei Yunlang frowned and said, “But her recent fortune is extremely bad, with a layer of death aura.”

Xia Qingxue’s breath, which she had just let out, was immediately held again. She said anxiously, “Don’t be so long-winded. Just say it all at once.”

Wei Yunlang spread his hands like a bachelor and said, “I’m done. This is what I divined. She’s in A City now. I think I have to go and see.”

“I’m going too!”

Xia Qingxue stood up impulsively. Xia Yu pulled her and made her sit down, then said to Wei Yunlang, “What are you going over for? Do you want to save her? If Little Xue had proposed it, I wouldn’t have suspected anything. But you’ve only known her for a day. Are you so kind as to go and save her despite the danger?”

Wei Yunlang was not angry at being questioned. He nodded along with Xia Yu’s words and admitted, “I admit, I’m not really going for her.”

Xia Qingxue sat at the dining table, her lips moving twice. She looked at Wei Yunlang, waiting for an answer.

Wei Yunlang said righteously, “Eliminating the disaster star is my life’s goal. But recently, the disaster star has been shrouded in a layer of fog, making it impossible for me to divine her location. I thought about it. Since the disaster star has been chasing Xia Weishuang, I might as well go and find her.”

Xia Qingxue clenched her fists and asked, “You said my sister’s recent fortune is extremely bad. Is it… because of the disaster star?”

Wei Yunlang said, “I’m not sure about that. Maybe when I find her, I can see something by divining in person. In short, her situation is very complicated now. I can’t see through it all, but there’s no doubt that she’s in danger.”

After Xia Weishuang had left, Xia Qingxue had been forcing herself not to think too much, to believe in her cousin, to believe that she would definitely be able to live well.

After all, her cousin was so smart and had the ability to predict danger. She would definitely live longer than her.

But now, she had gotten an ominous statement from Wei Yunlang. Xia Qingxue’s heart was immediately in a turmoil.

The young girl should have been full of vitality, but at this moment, she was as listless as if her tendons had been pulled out. Xia Qingxue’s voice was low. “My sister, she left alone so as not to be a burden to us.”

Xia Yu patted her shoulder comfortingly. His time with Xia Weishuang had been very short, and his feelings for her were not as deep as Xia Qingxue’s. He would feel sad and worried for her, because they were family, because they were acquaintances, because this was the most common empathy between people.

But Xia Yu could not take risks for Xia Weishuang, nor did he want his other relatives to take risks. This was not an ordinary danger. What they were facing now was a disaster-level danger that could cause the entire army to be wiped out.

“Little Xue, you have to believe in Sister Shuang,” Xia Yu said. “Wei Yunlang didn’t say she would definitely die, did he? I believe she will definitely turn danger into safety.”

Xia Qingxue’s lips curled. “I, I’m not at ease.”

Xia Yu said helplessly, “Think about Second Uncle and Second Aunt.”

Wei Yunlang was an outsider. He had no right to stop him, and he didn’t care that much about him. But Xia Yu didn’t want Little Xue to be in danger.

Sometimes, a cold-blooded person had to stand up and prevent a meaningless sacrifice.

Xia Yu knew Xia Qingxue’s weakness. Sure enough, as soon as Second Uncle and Second Aunt were mentioned, Xia Qingxue lowered her head and fell silent.

After dissuading Xia Qingxue, Xia Yu asked Wei Yunlang again, “Can you guarantee your own safety?”

Wei Yunlang’s expression was calm. “I’m not sure. I can divine all the things in the world, but I can’t see through myself.”

What a philosophical statement! Just as Xia Yu showed a hint of sadness, he saw Wei Yunlang’s face change like flipping a book. He said with a smile, “What do you think? Wasn’t I super cool just now?”

Xia Yu: “…”

Wei Yunlang laughed for a while, shrugged, his expression relaxed. “Whether it’s dangerous or not, I have to go. Don’t worry too much. I have the ability to protect myself. I was able to come to Green Mountain Village from another place and live until now. You should have some confidence in me.”

What he said was reasonable and had indeed convinced others, making people unable to help but believe in his ability.

Xia Yu showed a smile and said, “Then when you find Xia Weishuang, can you help her?”

Wei Yunlang nodded. “Don’t worry, I won’t stand by and watch her die.”

Xia Yu asked him when he was leaving. Wei Yunlang said that he would go to his room to pack his things and leave immediately.

So Xia Yu stood up, found a plastic bag, and packed some food for him.

“You take these,” Xia Yu said seriously. “Thank you in advance for your help to our relative. This was originally none of your business. I also know how dangerous this trip is. This little bit of food is not enough, but I really can’t do anything else now. Wei Yunlang, good luck. I won’t say thank you for your great kindness. Next time we meet, Little Xue, Lele, and I will repay you.”

Xia Qingxue sniffled and took out the car keys and threw them to Wei Yunlang. She said, “You can use the car outside. Don’t worry, there are ownerless vehicles on the back street. It’s enough for us. It’s safer for us to go and get them together. Since you’ve decided to go to A City, don’t waste any more time.”

If you set off earlier, you might be able to find Xia Weishuang earlier and help her earlier.

“Thanks,” Wei Yunlang was not polite either. He took the keys and spun them. “Sister, don’t cry. A farewell should have a good omen for a smooth journey. Come on, smile.”

“I’m not crying.” Xia Qingxue bit her lower lip and showed a bitter smile, and said loudly, “Good luck!”

Wei Yunlang narrowed his eyes and smiled, revealing two small tiger teeth. He waved his hand and said, “I’ll go and pack my things in the room.”

Since Xia Weishuang had left, Sang Lu had also left. Wei Yunlang had moved into the room where the two of them had originally rested.

At this time, Mi Lele, who had been silent all morning, put down her spoon, said obediently that she was full, then jumped off the stool and went to the kitchen to wash her hands.

She was too obedient and too quiet, and she was small. For a moment, no one noticed where she had run off to.

It wasn’t until Wei Yunlang got into the car with his small package and drove out of Green Mountain Village, and Xia Qingxue and Xia Yu, who had been standing on the rooftop watching him leave, returned home, that they realized that the house seemed to be too quiet.

“Where’s Lele?”

“I haven’t seen her.”

The two of them quickly searched the house, shouting Mi Lele’s name, but couldn’t find her. Then they went next door and asked their grandparents if they had seen her.

Of course, they hadn’t.

Xia Qingxue looked at the courtyard wall in front of her, a little dazed. Suddenly, her whole body trembled, and she said anxiously, “Crap! She must have gone with Wei Yunlang. No, I have to go and find her!”

Xia Yu grabbed her arm and stopped her. “Don’t! How are you going to find her? Even if we find a car now and chase after them, it will be too late. Little Xue, Lele went on her own. We all have times when we are helpless. You… you should just accept it.”

Xia Qingxue was so anxious that she was about to cry. “Before my sister left, she asked me to take good care of Lele.”

Second Uncle and Second Aunt, who had been listening, probably guessed what had happened. Second Aunt came forward, held Xia Qingxue’s hand, her eyes red. “Little Xue, I know you’re worried about that little girl, but Mom is also worried about you. We’ve finally reunited as a family. You know, how difficult is this? Other families, even if they want to reunite, it’s not certain. If you leave at this time, Mom won’t be able to sleep at night!”

Her teeth chattered twice. Xia Qingxue turned her head to look at her mother’s worried face and her father’s sad eyes.

She suddenly lost her spirit and felt weak all over.

In the end, she still couldn’t ignore her parents’ thoughts.

“I won’t go,” Xia Qingxue raised her hand to wipe the corner of her eye and squeezed out a smile. “It’s okay, Mom, Dad, don’t worry. I won’t be willful. I was just impulsive just now, really.”

“Good child,” Mother Xia hugged her precious daughter and comforted her. “They will all be fine. Lele will be fine, and Little Shuang will also be fine.”

“Yes!”

At this moment, Xia Qingxue seemed to still be so weak, but she also seemed to have grown a lot. Before, she had felt that when a person faced difficulties, there was not necessarily only one solution, but even if there was a second one, this fool of hers might not be able to think of it.

She had always felt that she was not smart enough. Especially at this time, Xia Qingxue particularly wanted to have Xia Weishuang’s intelligence, because she always felt that if Xia Weishuang were her, she would definitely be able to think of a solution.

But Xia Weishuang was not by her side. Now it was her turn to worry about Xia Weishuang. She could only try her best to turn her not-so-smart brain and try her best to find a better solution.

Xia Qingxue thought and thought, thought and thought, and almost broke her head. Finally, she thought of a method that she didn’t know if it was a good one.

Before Xia Weishuang left, she had instructed Xia Qingxue that if the rescue was delayed, she could try to spread her esper identity to lure the officials to increase their rescue efforts.

Then, could she also reveal Xia Weishuang’s and Mi Lele’s esper identities to the officials, so that the officials would cherish their talents and try their best to search for them in A City?

And she could also report Sang Lu’s existence. The officials could not turn a blind eye to such a terrifying threat. Maybe they would send troops to eliminate Sang Lu, and then her sister would be safer!

But…

Xia Qingxue scratched her head with some difficulty, because Xia Weishuang had said that revealing Mi Lele’s ability would easily cause trouble, and Xia Weishuang’s ability was actually also very precious. If it was revealed, would she be targeted by bad people in the future?

Worried and worried, Xia Qingxue was almost about to lose her hair.

The big loudspeaker sounded, telling everyone to get ready. The rescue was coming soon.

Xia Qingxue slapped her thigh, gritted her teeth, and decided to worry about the future later. Now, her sister’s life was not even guaranteed. Why was she thinking about all those messy things?

At worst, she would just be a little more tactful when she reported it and say that the two of them’s abilities were a little more ordinary.

**

The rescue operation in Green Mountain Village went extremely smoothly, and it took less time than in other places. Part of the credit was due to the cooperation of the people, and part of the credit was due to the information brought back by a soldier.

It was said that this information was brought by a low-key villager. Because she wanted to find her relatives, she had returned to the zombie-infested A City without hesitation and was unwilling to survive alone.

When they heard about this, everyone was very sad. This person’s choice could not be said to be wrong. Everyone had their own pursuits. Wasn’t humanity brilliant because of affection?

Even though everyone had to act according to orders and maintain the greatest benefit, they still prayed for her in their hearts, hoping that she could find her relatives soon and be successfully rescued by other rescue teams.

After the people of Green Mountain Village left with the main force, Green Mountain Village fell into a chilling silence.

The zombies wandered aimlessly, craving flesh and blood, forever hungry. The beautiful home was destroyed and messy, and there was no longer a trace of living people. Everywhere was the scene of a tragedy.

The sun gradually set in the west. As the sunlight gradually dimmed, this place became a hell completely occupied by zombies.

And on the quiet Green Mountain, there was a crack in a rock wall, facing the west and bathing in the afterglow of the setting sun. When the afterglow moved away, a human heartbeat seemed to come from within the rock crevice…

**

Wei Yunlang drove the car, following the road that Xia Weishuang had taken, and went against the flow with the main force.

After going against the flow for a long time, he was already very close to A City. The living people who were fleeing by car were almost gone, leaving only zombies.

Seeing that there was no one around, he faintly took out a Sun Wukong mask from the bag on the passenger seat, then raised it and brought it to his face—and kissed it hard.

“Mommy, mommy, hum! Idol, please bless me not to die early. I don’t ask to live as long as you. I’ll set a small goal first. Let me live to ninety-nine, okay?”

At this time, some strange sounds seemed to come from the back of the car. Wei Yunlang was stunned and quickly braked.

When he had lifted the little girl who was hiding in the back of the car to the seat, he was speechless. “I say, little sister, you’re too bold!”

Mi Lele sat obediently, her two hands on her knees, and said, “Because I think big brother is very powerful and will take me to find my sister.”

Being praised so seriously by the little sister, Wei Yunlang couldn’t help but feel a little proud. A festive smile appeared on his baby face. Just as he was about to say a few modest words, he heard Mi Lele say, “But after I got in the car, I found that big brother doesn’t seem to be as powerful as he said.”

The smile on Wei Yunlang’s lips froze. “No, little sister, what you’re saying…”

Mi Lele looked at the Sun Wukong mask in his hand and said meaningfully, “So brother is also very scared. He still needs the Great Sage Sun to bless him. I thought big brother was really as brave as he appeared.”

Wei Yunlang’s hand on the steering wheel trembled slightly, and the smile on his face was about to be unable to be maintained.

But Mi Lele said again, “But it’s okay, because I’m also very scared. So big brother, we won’t be scared if we go together!”

Wei Yunlang took a deep breath, turned his head with a whoosh, and rubbed Mi Lele’s head, smiling. “You’re young, but you’re smart. You don’t have to be afraid. I’ll take you to a safe place even if it costs me my life.”

It was already too late to send Mi Lele back. It was estimated that the rescue army had already left Green Mountain Village. He had calculated that the situation on Xia Weishuang’s side was very urgent. There was no choice but to take Mi Lele with him and take it one step at a time.

But while Wei Yunlang and the others were worried about Xia Weishuang and had plunged into danger, Xia Weishuang was actually not as hard-pressed as Wei Yunlang had imagined.

Her day, it could even be said, was extremely good.

Sang Lu had said that she would change, and it seemed that she really was changing. She was obedient, considerate, and not at all stingy about giving Xia Weishuang hope, making the balance in her heart tilt towards her.

At night, Xia Weishuang was lying on the bed resting. Her period was almost over, and it didn’t hurt much anymore. Sang Lu was hugging her from behind, closely.

The summer night was hot, and Sang Lu was like a human-shaped cooler, allowing her to relax her brows and sleep comfortably.

Based on Sang Lu’s performance during the day, Xia Weishuang couldn’t help but ask, “Sang Lu, do you… still want to eat me?”
