Monster Girlfriend(Apocalypse) 63

Chapter 63

Xia Weishuang knew that there was not much time left.

Sang Lu would not be deceived by the water forever. Sooner or later, she would come ashore, sooner or later, she would find them, and sooner or later, she would cause the tragedy that Xia Weishuang least wanted to see.

Xia Weishuang frowned and fell into deep thought. Bai Qian knew that she, who had not directly seen that scene, would definitely feel differently. She sighed softly and did not disturb Xia Weishuang.

However, Bai Qian would not do nothing. She continued to search this house and found an old atlas of Xia Country.

Turning to the A City section, Bai Qian began to ponder if there were other ways.

“One of the reasons for the failure was that Sang Lu reacted too quickly, and also that we failed to damage her internally,” Bai Qian said. “How about we use a syringe to inject alcohol into her body?”

“Her skin is very tough, it won’t work. And a small amount of alcohol is useless.”

“Then let’s think of a way. How about we pour the alcohol into a pool and let Sang Lu soak in it?”

Xia Weishuang thought for a moment and said, “That seems pretty good. Even if she can get out immediately, her whole body will be corroded. But how can we get her into the pool?”

Bai Qian hesitated. “Create a fake you to soak in the pool?”

Xia Weishuang said, “I’ll think about it again.”

She had absorbed a piece of crystal to replenish her energy. The next day, her energy had not fully recovered, so she endured the headache and forcibly activated her ability.

For a whole night, she had re-enacted the plan in her mind, but unfortunately, it had failed again this time.

Bai Qian was startled when she found that Xia Weishuang was actually awake, because the other party’s face was as pale as a ghost, and she was covering her mouth and nose and coughing.

“Did you choke?” Bai Qian looked at the table by Xia Weishuang’s bed with a puzzled look.

Xia Weishuang shook her head, feeling the burning pain in her nasal cavity.

“I just predicted that the plan to let Sang Lu soak in the pool would not work.”

This time, they had spent some effort and had chosen a bathhouse. They had poured the alcohol into a bath pool and then made some arrangements.

Xia Weishuang had used herself as bait, trying to lure Sang Lu into the alcohol pool. The process was not much to be described, but in short, it had failed again. And Xia Weishuang had been choked in the process. She had almost been choked to death, and her entire respiratory tract felt as if it were not her own.

Xia Weishuang said, “At some times, Sang Lu will abandon some of her tentacles to exchange a small price for a large benefit. And, she will also turn the surface of her tentacles into scales, so she won’t be afraid of alcohol.”

Bai Qian’s heart was filled with despair. “What can we do then?”

Even with alcohol, as long as Sang Lu turned her body surface into scales, she would not be afraid. The previous few times she had been injured were because she had little experience and was not on guard. Now, according to what Xia Weishuang said, Sang Lu already had experience and knew how to guard against them.

Xia Weishuang rubbed her temples tiredly and said, “I’ll think about it again.”

“Don’t be too tired,” Bai Qian put a few small packages of cakes, biscuits, and marinated eggs and ham for her, and let her be quiet for a while.

Xia Weishuang had no appetite, but if she didn’t eat, her already fragile stomach would be even more uncomfortable, so she still braced herself and ate the food.

She absorbed another crystal, closed her eyes, and wanted to think for a while, but perhaps she was too tired, and she fell asleep as she was thinking.

In her dream, she was in a daze. She dreamed of all the things she had predicted before, and she also arbitrarily changed some of the gloomy and terrifying scenes. For a while, she was entangled and digested by Sang Lu. For a while, she saw the tragic death of Coal Ball. For a while, she saw a dark eye, and in the viscous liquid of unknown origin, there were countless floating limbs.

Xia Weishuang stumbled and fled, covered in blood. Suddenly, a zombie rushed out from the side and knocked her over, and she fell from a high place to the ground.

The feeling of weightlessness instantly woke Xia Weishuang up.

It had been like this before. If she jumped off a building in a dream, she would wake up. She would often use this method to escape nightmares, but this time it was an accident. She had been knocked down by a zombie…

Wait.

Being knocked down by a zombie, this was the content of a premonition she had had before. It was just that at that time, besides being bitten to death by Sang Lu, Xia Weishuang had not paid much attention. But now, she suddenly found that she seemed to have noticed something incredible.

Xia Weishuang had originally wanted to get up, but now she maintained the posture of sitting cross-legged on the bed with the quilt half-lifted.

Xia Weishuang bit her finger and fell into deep thought. Her eyes were constantly flashing with a cold luster. At a certain moment, her gaze was infinitely close to Sang Lu’s when she was killing. All emotions were excluded from the final goal.

She didn’t know how long had passed. Bai Qian came to knock on the door and poked her head in from the crack of the door to look at her. “Little Shuang, are you awake? If you sleep too long during the day, you won’t be able to sleep at night. Hey, you’re already awake. Why aren’t you up yet?”

Xia Weishuang came back to her senses. “What time is it?”

“I don’t know, but looking at the sun, it should be three or four in the afternoon.”

“How did I sleep for so long?” Xia Weishuang patted her head and said, “Sister Qian, I suddenly thought that we might have fallen into a mental trap.”

“Hmm?” Bai Qian had wanted to ask in detail, but seeing Xia Weishuang’s face, she grabbed her and made her get up, drink water, eat something, and then sit down and let her talk slowly.

Xia Weishuang said, “Alcohol can cause harm to Sang Lu, but it’s not necessarily only alcohol that can.”

She took out a pen and paper again and, while writing and drawing, she explained:

“First, Sang Lu comes from the sea. She likes water, is afraid of alcohol, and dislikes gasoline. It’s very likely that her skin also has the characteristics of some marine creatures. Of course, it’s not necessarily only the characteristics of marine creatures. I’m not sure, but I think she’s not just afraid of alcohol. She dislikes gasoline but is not afraid of it, because oil can isolate oxygen, and it will melt when it encounters alcohol. That melting may be the water that seeps out. It’s very likely that other irritating substances can also cause her harm. We don’t have to be limited to alcohol.”

“But other irritating things, and the concentration has to be high, at least higher than the salinity of the ocean.”

“Salt,” Xia Weishuang wrote this word and drew a circle. “Salt can dehydrate and kill marine creatures. Besides marine creatures, some creatures with fragile skin are also afraid of salt. People will use salt to kill leeches, slugs, and other mollusks. Even if a person is buried in salt for a long time, their skin will also dehydrate. I think that maybe salt will also have an effect on Sang Lu.”

Xia Weishuang continued, “Sang Lu will turn her skin into scales to resist external erosion, but she can’t turn her entire body’s skin into scales.”

Xia Weishuang recalled the times she had seen Sang Lu’s skin turn into scales. It was always only a part that had changed. Even in a critical situation, it was the same. If Sang Lu could turn her entire body into scales, she would not be so stupid as to not use this ability.

“We need a large amount of salt, enough to cover her entire body, and it’s best to make it so that she can’t escape.”

“We had also planned to use alcohol to cover her entire body before, but because the amount of alcohol was still not enough, she dodged it. But salt is easier to get than alcohol. We can do it with salt.”

Xia Weishuang wrote two more words: factory.

She said, “We don’t have to go to the supermarket to find table salt. That’s too troublesome, and the amount may not be enough. We can go directly to the factory. The dyeing, glass, and soap manufacturing industries all need to use industrial salt. And besides industrial salt, we might be able to find other irritating raw materials, such as acids and alkalis.”

“This way, even if the salt doesn’t work, we have a double insurance. At least the effect of acids and alkalis should not be inferior to alcohol.”

After hearing Xia Weishuang’s analysis, Bai Qian was deep in thought. “So, but no matter what we use, it can only hurt her from the outside. Can this make her lose her ability to move?”

Xia Weishuang was silent for a moment, then said, “As long as the place is big enough and there is enough salt, I think Sang Lu will be in a state of constant dehydration. If this continues, she might die without Coal Ball’s help.”

“Are you sure?”

“I’m not sure. Maybe I should use my ability to take another look.”

Bai Qian sighed. “What if it fails again?”

“It’s okay,” Xia Weishuang said softly. “I have another way, but it’s more dangerous than this. Sang Lu is obviously different from the zombies. She has a metabolism, and her cells are active and can be stimulated by external substances. This way, we might be able to poison her, but it will be more difficult.”

“You’ve considered it quite thoroughly.”

Xia Weishuang smiled and said, “I have to.”

She had wanted to make another premonition, but the two previous ones in a row had overdrawn her ability. As soon as Xia Weishuang thought of mobilizing her mental power, she felt a sharp pain in her head and her mind went blank, unable to think of anything.

Seeing her discomfort, Bai Qian said, “Why don’t we go and prepare first? After all, time waits for no one. By the way, do you know when Sang Lu will come ashore?”

The corners of Xia Weishuang’s mouth moved slightly. “She might have already come ashore.”

Bai Qian let out a soft “ah,” not expecting the time to be so tight.

“Then we only have one chance to choose.” Should they go to the hospital to find alcohol, or go to the factory to find industrial salt? Sang Lu’s tracking ability and martial strength were too powerful. They had to make up their minds to kill her in one blow.

Bai Qian stood up, clapped her hands, and said, “Let’s pack up and go to the factory. I believe in your analysis. Since alcohol doesn’t work, then let’s use salt.”

“Okay,” Xia Weishuang followed her and stood up. She looked at Bai Qian’s back and the cute, soft cats in the room, and said softly, “I will succeed. I will definitely succeed.”

No matter what method is used.
