Monster Girlfriend(Apocalypse) 94

Chapter 94

When dawn came, Coal Ball had not yet returned. Bai Qian stood by the window, unable to help but worry.

Xia Weishuang frowned and walked to her side, not knowing what to say.

It didn’t seem right to comfort her, because she had also agreed to let Coal Ball go out. It also didn’t seem right not to comfort her, because the cause of the matter was her own premonition.

Before Xia Weishuang could think of what to say, Bai Qian spoke first. “Let’s wait a little longer.”

She did not blame anything, but just smiled and joked, “I suddenly found that sometimes the ability to predict is not omnipotent, but fortunately, we have avoided the most dangerous ending at the beginning.”

Xia Weishuang gave a bitter smile and said, “Indeed, premonition is not omnipotent. No one can guarantee that a new path that deviates from the original track will be foolproof.”

Even, it might lead to a worse result. Details determine success or failure, but premonition would not tell Xia Weishuang all the details.

At ten in the morning, Coal Ball had still not returned.

It did not snow outside today, and it was cold and desolate after the snow. The thin snow on the roofs and treetops had melted a little after sunrise, and the ground was wet. In the shadows, where the sun could not reach, the snow had still not melted, making everything look damp and miserable.

In Sang Lu’s current state, their side’s combat power had instantly returned to before liberation.

Wei Yunlang wiped the two insect wing shields, and then checked the weapons in everyone’s hands to make sure that the guns were all loaded.

Xia Weishuang, on the other hand, returned to her room, absorbed a crystal, and took a deep breath, trying to activate her ability again.

Now, the best interval for her to use her ability without getting too tired was still 48 hours. If it was shorter than this, she would feel strained and have a headache. The shorter the interval, the greater the impact on her mind.

However, she could still endure it for a little while. It was not as if she had not done this before.

But people were always changing. Their mentality was different, and they could not be generalized. At that time, she had no choice and did not want to live, so it did not matter. Now, she cherished herself a little more, so she would not use her ability unless it was necessary.

Her ability was different from ordinary ones. In the dark, it made people feel a sense of awe for the existence that was untouchable by human power. If she were asked now if she still did not believe in ghosts and gods, Xia Weishuang would probably not be able to give an answer.

However, she wanted to try to use her ability to see if Coal Ball was in danger, and to see if she could find a good answer. But before she could enter the state, she was interrupted by a series of urgent knocks on the door.

“Little Shuang, look outside!”

Outside?

Xia Weishuang quickly got up and looked outside. She happened to see that at the end of the long street, three cars were coming towards the Zhenhua Grand Hotel.

This group of people had actually taken the initiative to come over, which was completely out of Xia Weishuang’s expectations.

Sang Lu was still leaning against the radiator, sunbathing, her expression lazy, as if she had no worldly desires. Xia Weishuang didn’t know if she could count on her. She pushed her and said anxiously:

“Sang Lu, wake up! An enemy is coming!”

The word “enemy” stimulated Sang Lu. Sang Lu opened her eyes with a whoosh, and her deep purple pupils were instantly filled with a vigilant and cold fighting desire.

She followed Xia Weishuang’s gaze and looked out the window. When her hand pressed against the cool glass, Sang Lu paused and silently withdrew her hand.

Xia Weishuang: “…Let’s go!”

This unlucky fellow, who was usually so arrogant, was now saddled with a long-term debuff. It could only be said that heaven was quite fair in some aspects.

She pulled Sang Lu out of the bedroom and put on her warm clothes. The few cars had already arrived not far in front of the building.

“Let’s go downstairs,” Wei Yunlang said. “We can’t move freely in this room.” The area by the window in the living room had already been occupied by his small partitioned room. And the room was so warm. He didn’t want the glass to be broken, which would not only let in a roomful of cold wind but also require cleaning up.

The few of them quickly went down to the fifth floor. Sang Lu was still quite good. Under the stimulation of the enemy, she did not fall down as soon as she went out, and was stubbornly pulled to the fifth floor by Xia Weishuang.

Xia Weishuang and the others entered the room, facing the street outside. This room had no stove, and there was not a trace of warmth inside. Sang Lu was wrapped in a thick down jacket and hung her whole body on Xia Weishuang.

When the few of them appeared in front of the window, the three cars downstairs also stopped, facing them.

For safety, Mi Lele was not allowed to go forward. She held a small knife in her left hand, a small spray bottle in her right hand, and a handgun tucked into her waist. The insect wing shield was not in front of her for the time being, and was lent to the few adults.

“Are we sure we’re staying here?” Bai Qian said in a low voice. “What if they drive in?”

“There’s nothing we can do. If they drive in, we can’t stop them even if we go downstairs,” Xia Weishuang said. “Besides, they have many more guns and bullets than us. A head-on confrontation is not in our favor. If we’re in a tall building, we can still hide.”

Yesterday afternoon, they had temporarily evacuated the cats living on the first floor and had blocked the stairs on the first and second floors. These operations were not of much use, but if this group of people really rushed in, they could still hold them back for some time.

The three cars downstairs did not seem to have the intention of rushing in directly. Even after they stopped, there was no movement for a while.

Wei Yunlang frowned and said, “They must have seen us. What are they trying to do? Psychological warfare?”

Xia Weishuang supported Sang Lu, so that she would not fall asleep, and supported herself against the wall. “It’s very likely. If the enemy doesn’t move, I won’t move. At worst, we’ll just wait a little longer.”

While they were waiting, Xia Weishuang kept poking Sang Lu and patiently asked her how she was feeling and if she could move. Sang Lu’s eyes were narrowed into a slit, and she was leaning on Xia Weishuang’s shoulder, her body as soft as a pile of mud.

Fortunately, Xia Weishuang’s strength had increased a lot recently, so she was not crushed by Sang Lu.

The people downstairs did not seem to be planning to fight a protracted war. After a moment, ten people got out of the cars one after another, each holding a gun and aiming at Xia Weishuang and the others’ position.

Wei Yunlang said a dirty word in a low voice. “They don’t even know the rules of fighting first and then being polite. Trash! What do we do? They look very difficult to deal with.”

Although the few of them also had guns in their hands and had trained a few times, their accuracy and firepower were far inferior to the other party’s.

Xia Weishuang said helplessly, “Sang Lu doesn’t look like she can do it. We probably can’t count on her. Wei Yunlang, you go to the window and ask them what their purpose is. Now that they’ve already found us but haven’t opened fire directly, I think they also want to communicate.”

Bai Qian hid behind the wall. Wei Yunlang also got close to the window by the wall, opened the window, and a gust of cold air rushed in, making the room even colder.

Sang Lu couldn’t help but shiver. Her upper and lower eyelids were stuck together and she could barely open them.

There was no choice. Xia Weishuang had to put her on a sofa on the side and let her lie there and rest. In this position, even if they opened fire from outside, they probably couldn’t hit her.

Wei Yunlang raised his voice and shouted at the people downstairs, “Who are you? What is your purpose?!”

Xia Weishuang was opposite Wei Yunlang, also by the wall. She observed the outside and found that the people below could be roughly divided into two groups.

One group was more orderly, and the other was more undisciplined. If she remembered correctly, the three undisciplined ones were espers.

Xia Weishuang remembered that one of them should have the ability to teleport, another might have the ability to strengthen their body, and the ability of the third was unknown.

And besides these people who had gotten out of the car, there were others in the car. The key was that Coal Ball had not appeared now, and no one knew how it was.

A man holding a gun and fully protected said, “You guys come out! We are from the base. We are now requisitioning the hotel. Please cooperate with our actions and come out to be arranged.”

“…” Wei Yunlang turned his head and complained to Bai Qian, “Do they think we’re stupid?”

Bai Qian nodded. “I think so.”

Turning back, Wei Yunlang smiled at the people downstairs. “Big brother, we’re very scared like this. We don’t dare to act.”

The man held his gun and said seriously, “Don’t be flippant! You’re still in the city. What are your intentions? Tell me, what are you doing?!”

Xia Weishuang chuckled. “To turn the tables like this, your skin is really thick.”

Wei Yunlang ground his teeth. “They have bad intentions. If we go down, we’ll completely lose the initiative.”

Xia Weishuang said, “Actually, we don’t have much initiative now. It’s just that they’re still a little wary of us, so they haven’t acted.”

She rubbed her temples and looked puzzled. “I just can’t figure out how we provoked them.”

What was this group of people’s purpose? Why had they come? Who had instigated them?

Wei Yunlang continued to negotiate with the people downstairs. “We’re good citizens who are trapped here, okay? Big brother, I think you’re the one with the problem. Are you pretending to be from the base to rob us? I don’t believe the military is so unreasonable! Back in the day, our People’s Liberation Army’s slogan was not to take a single needle or thread from the common people…”

Wei Yunlang was chattering at the window, trying to buy time with the people downstairs, but everyone knew that this was futile.

But at this time, Xia Weishuang suddenly saw that the roof of the car in the middle had suddenly opened, and a familiar voice with a hint of arrogance and impatience sounded.

“Alright, Xia Weishuang, I know you’re here. Tell this man to shut up. You come out. I have something to say to you.”

Gu Minzhi leisurely rose from the car’s sunroof. A bodyguard was standing behind her, and she was holding a black cat in her arms.

When she saw the black cat, Xia Weishuang’s face darkened. The black cat was motionless, as if it were already dead. But from the way Gu Minzhi was stroking it, it seemed that it was not just a corpse.

This woman should not be so perverted, but that black cat was Coal Ball.

Wei Yunlang had never seen Gu Minzhi before and looked at Xia Weishuang in surprise, asking in a low voice, “An old acquaintance of yours?”

Xia Weishuang gave a bitter smile and said, “Barely, I guess.”

Well, it seems that their relationship is not very good.

Bai Qian, on the other hand, had seen Gu Minzhi before and knew that this woman was not an easy-to-deal-with, kind person. “Why is it her again?” She couldn’t help but stare at the little black cat in Gu Minzhi’s arms, her worry overflowing.

Xia Weishuang raised her hand and made a gesture, signaling Wei Yunlang and Bai Qian to be calm. “This matter today was originally my fault for implicating you. Gu Minzhi is not easy to deal with. I’m afraid I won’t have a good end today. But, she should only be coming for me… and Sang Lu. When the time comes, if things don’t look right, you guys take Lele and retreat first.”

Fearing that the two of them would not be willing to leave their companion behind, Xia Weishuang forced a relaxed smile and said, “I’m not afraid to tell you the truth. In the past, she and I were love rivals, so don’t be afraid. As long as Sang Lu is here, she wouldn’t dare to do anything. And I’ll have to rely on you to save me in the future.”

Bai Qian clicked her tongue and gave her a look to let her figure it out for herself. “Save it. Don’t say such useless things. Don’t worry, I’m not that stupid. I don’t have to suffer with you.”

If Bai Qian wasn’t stupid, then who was? Or rather, among everyone present, who wasn’t so stupid as to be gathered here today?

Xia Weishuang held the insect wing shield in her hand, walked forward a little, and showed her face at the window.

“Gu Minzhi, how did you know I was here?”

She couldn’t let the other party completely take the initiative, especially when she didn’t know the other party’s background.

Gu Minzhi shrugged. “That’s not important. It’s not just the woman next to you who has an ability.”

The woman next to her? She should be referring to Bai Qian.

Gu Minzhi suddenly smiled and stroked her chin. “You’re asking me this question, but I actually want to ask you. How did you guys know that I had brought people to Xijing Road?”

Xia Weishuang said calmly, “You said it yourself. The woman next to me has an ability.”

Gu Minzhi let out an “oh” and said, “What a coincidence. I was discovered by you as soon as I came. Xia Weishuang, Xia Weishuang, you really disappoint me. If you wanted to see me, you could have just come over yourself. Why did you have to send a cat over?”

As she spoke, she grabbed Coal Ball’s tail and swung it in the air. Coal Ball’s body twitched slightly.

“But it’s also good,” Gu Minzhi showed a cold smile. “If you hadn’t let it come over, I really wouldn’t have been sure when to act.”
