Chapter 58
The smell of gasoline mixed with alcohol instantly filled the entire corridor. Gasoline splashed, and a few drops even splashed onto Xia Weishuang’s leg.
Sang Lu’s brows furrowed. She jumped back, and her body began to shake at a high frequency, trying to shake off the gasoline.
Xia Weishuang took out the taser from her pocket and, with a resolute determination, she pressed it. The blue-purple electric arc crackled and came out. She glanced at Sang Lu, her palm tightly pressed against her heart, and used the electric arc to ignite the gasoline.
With a hiss, a bright spark appeared, and then it danced and spread along the gasoline and burned.
The roaring flames suddenly warmed this cold night. When she saw the orange-yellow, bright sparks, a nervous look flashed in Sang Lu’s eyes. However, her first reaction was not to retreat, but to mutate her body.
From bottom to top, from inside to out, the pale and cold body was like a blooming flower of flesh and blood, surging and forming a strange bud shape. But it was not to spread out, but to wrap Sang Lu’s own body.
No, she was not to wrap herself, but for… that dress.
The fire wrapped around her, burning brightly. Sang Lu stared at Xia Weishuang with her deep eyes. Her mutated body stretched and retreated like a jellyfish’s skirt. She fell out of the window, wearing a magnificent long dress made of flames.
Coal Ball let out a howl, and with a leap, it jumped to Xia Weishuang’s side. Its body became larger and it picked her up and ran forward. Xia Weishuang reached out and grabbed her backpack and plastic bag.
Just at this time, Bai Qian’s voice came from the corner of the corridor ahead. “I found it!”
Xia Weishuang was carried on Coal Ball’s back. She lowered her body, grabbing the cat’s fur that had grown longer with its body, and subconsciously looked back.
The corridor was burning with a raging fire, and Sang Lu’s figure was nowhere to be seen. But Xia Weishuang knew that this little fire could not cause a fatal blow to Sang Lu.
She was like a terrifying, immortal monster, making weak humans despair.
Xia Weishuang poured the alcohol in the basin onto the ground and threw the basin away. While letting Coal Ball carry her forward, she unscrewed the alcohol bottle and threw it to the ground.
She wanted to create a long corridor of flames to stop Sang Lu’s steps.
But just at this moment, a strange sound came from outside. Sang Lu did not step into this long corridor of flames, but chose to pursue from outside the third floor!
She used the method of cutting off oxygen, and let her flesh and blood cover the burning area layer by layer, and then, in a rolling manner, her body pressed against the front of the building, extinguishing the flames.
Sang Lu extended her long and tough tentacles, like a number of flexible little hands, hooking onto the windows on the third floor and everything that could be used for leverage, and meandered forward in the same direction as Xia Weishuang!
She was like a bat flying at night, and also a formless nightmare.
At a certain moment, Xia Weishuang turned her head and, through the glass on the door of the patient’s room, she saw Sang Lu outside the window.
She understood that it was going to be bad.
Xia Weishuang no longer threw the alcohol on the ground, but raised a bottle and prepared to pour it on herself.
But at this time, time was extremely tight, and it seemed to have been stretched infinitely. Her vision suddenly blurred. In a short moment, Xia Weishuang saw a strange, broken-legged zombie with a particularly long tongue chasing behind her and Coal Ball. Its two arms were as developed as the arms of an excavator. With a roll of its tongue, it had pulled off a tuft of Coal Ball’s butt fur.
In the corridor filled with broken glass and wood, there were a few zombie corpses scattered around. Sang Lu was curled up on the ground, with the same reaction as when she had been fed white wine by Xia Weishuang.
The door of the room on the right was broken, and a sign was hanging above it, with the words—Observation Room.
Sang Lu seemed to have suffered an internal blow again. Her whole body was trembling, and her reaction speed and movement speed had both decreased.
She looked up in Xia Weishuang’s direction and happened to see the shameful zombie that was trying to fight with her for the prey stretch out its tongue and attack Xia Weishuang. She was immediately stimulated, but because her speed had decreased, she could not react in time and could only watch as the long-tongued monster’s tongue did not hook Xia Weishuang, but instead got entangled with the cat’s tail.
The giant mutated cat and the long-tongued monster were entangled in a fight. Xia Weishuang fell to the side. Sang Lu slid over sinisterly, and then was entangled by the mutated beast and the long-tongued monster—the final result was that both Coal Ball and the long-tongued monster died. Sang Lu was covered in blood, and like a life-claiming female ghost, she occupied all of Xia Weishuang’s vision…
Zap—
It was as if an electric current had passed through Xia Weishuang’s brain. In a flash, she seemed to have understood something, but she could not completely sort out this mess.
The content of the sudden premonition seemed to be very long, but it had only taken a second for it to enter Xia Weishuang’s brain. She had not yet figured out how to deal with this disadvantage that was sliding into an abyss, but her body had already acted on its own.
The opened alcohol bottle was not poured on herself as she had originally thought, but on Coal Ball.
Coal Ball meowed in confusion, but Xia Weishuang did not have time to explain to it. Her peripheral vision swept to a large room on the right front. The door was closed, and a sign was hanging on it—Observation Room.
Then, perhaps there was only enough time for Xia Weishuang to sigh softly in her heart. Coal Ball carried Xia Weishuang to the door of the observation room. The nurses’ station on the left exploded at this moment. Sang Lu, with the force of a whirlwind, crashed through the window, overturned the tables and chairs, broke through the wooden door, and with a strong airflow, she returned to this corridor.
Coal Ball and Xia Weishuang were both overturned. Sang Lu’s tentacles were extremely strong, and even the door of the observation room opposite was destroyed.
In an instant, the zombies that were trapped inside were stirred by the wind and tried to squeeze out of the crack in the door.
Xia Weishuang fell to the ground, holding the alcohol tightly in her arms, and had no time to care about anything else. She hit her head and immediately frowned in pain. Her face and hands were cut by the glass fragments. Sang Lu’s tentacle suddenly wrapped around Xia Weishuang’s arm.
Xia Weishuang stumbled forward and crawled a little. Sang Lu’s cold and soft tentacles quickly coiled around her like a snake.
“Coal Ball, back off!”
Coal Ball’s body was strong and its reaction was faster than hers. It looked back, meowed, and jumped away. However, Sang Lu had already poured out from the nurses’ station on the left. It had to growl and retreat.
Sang Lu’s tentacle gently pulled, and Xia Weishuang was forced to slide towards her. Her back was immediately injured by the broken glass, and she let out a painful cry.
Sang Lu was taken aback. Her body, which was so terrifying that its shape could no longer be described, slowly came above Xia Weishuang.
It was as if it were made of countless white snakes coiled together, or as if it were made of disassembled and reassembled white human bones. There was no logic, no reason at all. It was like an absurd work created by a playful and dark evil god, which made one feel terrified and have nightmares with just one look.
However, on such a huge and strange deformed body, there was a beautiful and slightly disheveled head. The ends of her hair, which had been scorched by the fire, were withered and curled. Due to gravity, her long hair hung down. Her demonic and beautiful face was stained with some black ash, but her purple eyes were frighteningly bright.
She leaned her face towards Xia Weishuang. Even though she had been resisted and hurt like that before, she still did not have any dislike or anger towards Xia Weishuang.
The first thing Sang Lu said was not to sentence Xia Weishuang to death, but, “I don’t want to, hurt you.”
Xia Weishuang found it extremely ridiculous. Enduring the feeling of the slimy tentacles coiling around her body, she asked back, “You don’t want to hurt me, but you want to eat me?”
The wooden door of the observation room was finally broken by the zombies. A few zombies poured out, waving their claws wildly, and were killed by Sang Lu one by one.
Sang Lu slowly showed a smile, her gaze always fixed on Xia Weishuang. “This way, I can, forever protect Shuangshuang, forever, be together.”
Xia Weishuang sadly found that they might never be able to understand each other. She said in a hoarse voice, “Then have you ever thought that maybe I don’t want to be eaten by you, and I don’t want to die like this?”
Sang Lu might not have thought about it, or maybe she had thought about it and didn’t care.
She smiled faintly, determined to devour Xia Weishuang here. The part of her that was in contact with Xia Weishuang began to change. She lowered her head and gently licked the wound on Xia Weishuang’s face.
Xia Weishuang endured and waited for the opportunity. When a black-red long tongue as thick as a human wrist suddenly appeared at the door of the observation room, her spirits were lifted. She knew it was time to act.
Sure enough, Sang Lu suddenly turned her head. Unlike when she was facing the ordinary zombies before, her eyes were filled with a cold vigilance and hostility.
The hugging posture that Xia Weishuang had been in had bought her some space. She directly unscrewed two bottles of alcohol and poured them. The cold liquid seeped through her clothes to her skin and spread through all the gaps. Naturally, it was also touched by the Sang Lu that was wrapped around her.
The inside of Sang Lu’s body, which had become a digestive cavity, was suddenly corroded by the alcohol. Her whole body trembled, and the tentacles that were wrapped around Xia Weishuang naturally loosened a little.
Xia Weishuang immediately pulled out her hand and took a mouthful of alcohol in her mouth.
Sang Lu had to multitask, and sent a part of her tentacles to meet the suddenly appearing long-tongued monster. To her, it was the most inconvenient time to act when she was digesting, which made the long-tongued monster far more difficult to deal with than usual.
But no matter how difficult the opponent was, it was not as important as Xia Weishuang.
Sang Lu turned her head back again. Xia Weishuang raised her hand to splash the remaining dregs of the bottle in her hand on her face, but it was slapped away by Sang Lu. Then she tilted her head back and brought her lips up. Having done it once, she was familiar with it. Sang Lu smelled the smell of wine from between Xia Weishuang’s lips and subconsciously shrank her face back.
However, this time Xia Weishuang was not really trying to feed her wine. She opened her mouth and sprayed it on Sang Lu’s face.
A mist of alcohol sprayed onto Sang Lu’s face, and her fragile eyes instantly began to blur and sting.
Coal Ball, who was cowering in the corner and eyeing them, saw the opportunity and rushed over. It bit the clothes on Xia Weishuang’s shoulder, and with one paw, it pushed off Sang Lu’s body to pull Xia Weishuang out, and then threw her onto its back and ran wildly.
Xia Weishuang’s departure directly caused Sang Lu’s madness. Her tentacles wriggled and stuck together, then dispersed like a swarm of violent snakes. But because her body and eyes had been severely injured at the same time, she had a rare weakness—her speed was much slower.
At the same time, because of the accumulated damage, the number of her tentacles had also decreased. Therefore, when there was a long-tongued monster next to her that was also coveting the flesh and blood of the living, Sang Lu had to temporarily give up on Xia Weishuang. She chose to kill the long-tongued monster first.
Anything that tried to devour Xia Weishuang was her biggest enemy.
**
Xia Weishuang was lying on Coal Ball’s body, panting heavily. The series of actions just now were almost all her temporary reactions after seeing the premonition.
It was as if her consciousness had only just returned, making her feel a sense of fear.
Just now, if there had been even a little mistake, she and Coal Ball might have been finished.
In the premonition, Xia Weishuang must have directly poured the alcohol on herself, so that Sang Lu would be hit as soon as she wrapped around her. Xia Weishuang would most likely choose to press the advantage and injure Sang Lu even more, and at this time, Coal Ball would take Xia Weishuang away.
But no one knew that there was also a long-tongued monster. When Sang Lu was weak and curled up, the long-tongued monster would suddenly appear and chase after her while Sang Lu was not reacting in time. This had led to the bloody and tragic scene in the premonition.
But now, the long-tongued monster and Sang Lu were left behind to attack each other, and Xia Weishuang and Coal Ball had more time.
Xia Weishuang gently stroked Coal Ball’s back, her heart filled with guilt. “I’m sorry.”
I almost got you killed.
Coal Ball did not notice Xia Weishuang’s complicated feelings at all. It carried Xia Weishuang and made a sharp turn, rushing into another corridor.
In front, Bai Qian was covered in a lot of blood. A big-bellied zombie was lying on the ground. She was holding a fire axe and was forcefully chopping at the door of the storage room. Coal Ball rushed up directly and, with one paw, it smashed the lock of the door.
“Quick!”
There was no time to explain anything, nor was there time to ask each other what they had encountered. The two of them and the cat rushed directly into the storage room.
