Monster Girlfriend(Apocalypse) 59

Chapter 59

The storage room was very dark, with many cardboard boxes and two large cabinets piled inside.

The cabinets were the type with glass on the top and opaque on the bottom. Inside, there were stacks of unopened bags of white coats.

These were not what they needed. The two of them and the cat pounced on the pile of cardboard boxes to search. Bai Qian used a flashlight to illuminate, and soon found the boxes containing protective suits, gloves, and shoe covers.

Coal Ball’s claws stretched out and opened the boxes. It jumped up and down, making a mess of the storage room.

The miscellaneous items were thrown directly on the ground. Xia Weishuang and Bai Qian began to take off their clothes. Summer clothes could be taken off in two or three moves. Then they shook out two protective suits and stuffed the old clothes, which were stained with blood and sweat, inside.

These two protective suits were not properly sealed and were just thrown onto Coal Ball. Coal Ball carried one on its back and one in its mouth, and rushed out of the storage room. Its body became the size of a car, and it was poised in front of the glass window of the corridor.

And Xia Weishuang and Bai Qian, who had taken off their clothes, began to put on the protective suits. This was the first time they had worn them, so they were inevitably a little clumsy. Fortunately, with each other’s help, it was relatively smooth.

Bai Qian couldn’t help but hiss when she saw the wound on Xia Weishuang’s back, but she didn’t ask much at this time. After putting on the gloves and shoe covers, their faces could not be completely sealed. They took off another protective suit and put it on their heads upside down, in addition to the masks.

However, this was equivalent to giving up their sight. This was a rather risky move, but they had no other choice now.

“What about these things?” Bai Qian pulled the protective suit that served as a hood a little, and looked at their miscellaneous items on the ground and asked.

“Don’t worry about it. Just leave it there.”

“Is it okay?”

“It’s okay.”

The two of them’s backpacks, flashlights, and a few bottles of alcohol were scattered on the ground. It looked like it would attract Sang Lu, but in fact, this room already had their scent. These things would instead serve as a cover.

Xia Weishuang deliberately kicked the bag to the front of the cabinet and hid inside with Bai Qian.

The space under the cabinet was large, and there were not many miscellaneous items. They were put on the upper level.

After closing the cabinet door and pulling the “hood” properly, Bai Qian whistled softly.

Coal Ball, which had received the signal, crashed through the glass and rushed out in the howling night wind. It was as black as its name, which made the white protective suit on its back look as scary as a ghost in the night.

Not long after they had done all this, Xia Weishuang, who was hiding in the darkness, heard a strange sound from outside the storage room. Squelch, squelch, it was subtle but piercing, making the bones in her body itch.

A gust of wind blew in from the broken window and into the ajar door of the storage room. The door moved slightly, and in the darkness, a short, scraping sound was heard.

The strange and bizarre sound paused for a moment. Although it was pitch-black in front of her, Xia Weishuang could imagine how Sang Lu, dragging her terrifying body, was stopping and observing in the corridor.

It was as if she could really see this scene in front of her, seeing Sang Lu staring at everything with a cold and sharp gaze. She possessed an unattainable and terrifying power, bringing with her the largest shadow in the darkness.

Then, the strange sound came again, and the sound was getting closer.

Squelch, squelch… with a light and cold breath, with a soft and sticky feeling, it came from outside the door to the entrance.

Creak—

The door was completely opened.

The sound came from outside the door, from the walls, from the ground… as if from all directions, like a silently surging torrent in the deep sea, it approached.

At that moment, Xia Weishuang couldn’t help but hold her breath, not daring to make a sound.

Then, there was the sound of a plastic bag being rubbed, the sound of a flashlight being touched and hitting the ground, a strange, unidentifiable sound…

“Phew…”

Xia Weishuang heard a cold, desolate sigh from Sang Lu.

At that moment, she heard it very clearly. However, when she asked Bai Qian later, Bai Qian said that she had not heard it.

Suddenly, Bai Qian beside her seemed to have moved accidentally. This not-so-soft protective suit would make a sound when it was rubbed. Even if it was very small, when it sounded in Xia Weishuang’s ear, it was no different from thunder.

Would Sang Lu hear it?

Xia Weishuang heard Sang Lu turn over the messy miscellaneous items and slowly approach. She closed her eyes, but she could still see colorful blocks of color, of no particular color, changing formlessly, and spreading endlessly.

The sound stopped.

Perhaps the cabinet was about to be opened.

But just at this moment, a loud shout came from outside the building, which was still clear in the silent night. “Crap! Everyone, be careful!”

It was Xia Weishuang’s voice.

Before the sound had even fallen, Sang Lu quickly rushed out, bringing the cardboard boxes and plastic bags on the ground with her, making a messy sound. Then she passed through the broken window and rushed towards the place where the sound had come from.

A sound of impact came from a distance, and then the sound of a heavy object falling into the water.

Xia Weishuang gasped twice, her lungs feeling as if they were about to explode. Just now, she had been so nervous that she had forgotten that she had already made preparations.

She had parked the car in a position where it could drive to the river without any obstruction, and the front of the car was already facing the direction of the river. The car door was not locked, and the key was under the seat cushion. Coal Ball didn’t have to do much. As long as it could start the car, press down the window, and then keep pressing the accelerator and rush into the river, it would be enough.

As for the voice that belonged to Xia Weishuang, it was something she had recorded on her SIM-less phone. The phone had no password, and the interface had been on the recorder’s interface. It could be started with a single press.

To have a cat drive a car and play with a phone, it was fortunate that Coal Ball was smart and had Bai Qian’s ability.

It was just that it hated water. The most difficult part of this was that Coal Ball couldn’t swim. But fortunately, Coal Ball had the ability to transform to deal with it.

Sang Lu had been lured away. What she would face was the illusion that Xia Weishuang had luckily escaped from the car but had been washed away by the river. If it went smoothly, for a long time to come, she would be following the river downstream to track Xia Weishuang.

And Xia Weishuang and Bai Qian, who were on the shore, would get a rare respite.

But this did not mean that they could stop. At least not now. The fire in the corridor had not been extinguished, and with the help of the accelerant, it would soon burn here.

Pulling off the protective suit that was covering her head, Xia Weishuang pushed open the cabinet door and came out with Bai Qian. Then she picked up the bag and plastic bag on the ground and quickly packed the things.

They packed a few more protective suits and masks and other useful things. Before the fire could reach here, they hurried out and fled the hospital.

The two of them did not choose to leave from the front of the hospital, for fear of running into the not-yet-departed Sang Lu. Instead, they left through the back door of the hospital. Even if the road here was winding and dark, and they might be ambushed by zombies, it was better than running into Sang Lu.

The wounds on her body were already numb, and they would still sting from time to time when they rubbed against the protective suit. Xia Weishuang was panting heavily and holding Bai Qian’s hand. They stumbled forward together. Not long after they left the hospital, the shrunken Coal Ball came chasing after them, soaking wet.

Perhaps there had never been a more miserable moment than now.

After turning a street, Bai Qian’s steps slowed down. She pulled Xia Weishuang and indicated that she couldn’t run anymore.

In fact, Xia Weishuang was also about to be unable to run anymore. Her two legs were sore and painful, and her mouth and throat were so dry that they felt like they were about to crack.

Then let’s stop and rest for a while.

The few zombies that were wandering here noticed them, turned their heads, and tacitly approached the living.

Coal Ball did not become bigger, and just used its small body to rush up and block them.

Xia Weishuang and Bai Qian, on the other hand, broke into a residential area. Bai Qian seemed to have no strength left, so Xia Weishuang took the fire axe from her hand and walked in front.

Unfortunately, to lure Sang Lu away, the car and the things inside had to be abandoned. Otherwise, they would not be so miserable now.

After a hasty fight, the two of them and the cat finally entered a house on the third floor of a certain unit.

The door was open when they arrived. This house had clearly been looted by others before. The kitchen was already empty, but the house was very clean and the environment was good. It was probably that the family had not been at home for a long time.

After closing the door from the inside, Xia Weishuang checked the windows. They were all closed and locked, and the curtains were drawn. Then she couldn’t help but lie on the sofa and rest.

Every muscle in her body was trembling. Xia Weishuang pulled off her mask and gasped for breath. She was thirsty and hungry, but she was too lazy to get up and find something to eat or drink.

Coal Ball was about the same as her, lying on the floor, completely exhausted.

Bai Qian, on the other hand, did not rest immediately. She used a paper towel on the table to wipe the water from Coal Ball’s body, then patted Xia Weishuang’s shoulder and said, “Take off your clothes. The wound on your back needs to be treated, or it will get infected, and you’ll suffer then.”

“I’m so tired. I don’t want to move.”

“Then you can just keep lying there,” Bai Qian’s smiling voice was a little hoarse.

Xia Weishuang’s fingers were still trembling. She pulled open the adhesive strip on her chest. This kind of clothes had to be taken off from the top down. When she was taking it off, she didn’t know if the fabric had stuck to the wound on her back. Xia Weishuang felt that she was not taking off her clothes, but peeling off her skin.

The room was dim. Bai Qian shone a flashlight on it and was surprised. “Why are there so many broken glass?”

After finally pulling the clothes down to her waist, Xia Weishuang was lying on the sofa, covered in a layer of sweat. She said weakly, “I accidentally scraped it.”

No wonder the wound had been hurting all this time.

Besides that, the skin on other parts of Xia Weishuang’s body was red and swollen, and looked very bad. Bai Qian said with a worried expression, “You have to wash the other parts of your body too. What is this on you?”

She pulled the protective suit with her hand and couldn’t help but say, “Why is it so sticky? No, you have to take off all your clothes, or they’ll stick together when they’re dry.”

What was that? Of course, it was Sang Lu’s digestive mucus.

Xia Weishuang also knew that she couldn’t just leave it. So she took off the entire protective suit, and her body was exposed. The gloves and shoe covers were no longer necessary, so she took them all off. It was inevitable that her scent would be exposed. She could only change to another place after a temporary rest.

Bai Qian also took off her protective suit. It was too hot, and wearing it for a while would make her whole body sweat and feel uncomfortable.

“I don’t know if the water has been cut off here,” Bai Qian said. “When you’re washing later, see if the gas in the kitchen is still on. It’s best to boil hot water to wash.”

“Okay.”

“Wait a minute.”

Bai Qian searched the house for a while and was lucky to find a small family medicine box. There were not many things inside, only a thermometer, tweezers, band-aids, iodophor, and a few common medicines.

Bai Qian shone a flashlight and carefully used tweezers to pick out the broken glass embedded in Xia Weishuang’s back. This process was long and painful. Fortunately, after the wound went numb, it was much better.

After dealing with the broken glass, Bai Qian put down the blood-stained tweezers and said softly, “Little Shuang, you might have to do it yourself later.”

“Sister Qian?”

A dull thud came from the side. Xia Weishuang turned her head in astonishment and saw Bai Qian lying motionless on the carpet.

The flashlight that had fallen on the ground gave off a dim light. Bai Qian’s face was flushed, and she had fallen into a coma.
