Chapter 99
Xia Weishuang’s fingers caressed her sharp teeth, feeling the cold and slippery touch. At this moment, Sang Lu was like an unconscious corpse, and one could do whatever they wanted to her.
But this was just an illusion. Suddenly, Sang Lu moved her mouth, and her sharp teeth gently closed on Xia Weishuang’s fingers. She rolled her tongue, as if she were wondering what the foreign object that had entered her mouth was.
Xia Weishuang moved, and the back of her finger was immediately cut with a shallow scratch.
Even if a monster was in a deep sleep, even if it had no consciousness to harm others, its existence itself was enough to make humans fear.
Xia Weishuang gently withdrew her fingers. It was difficult to avoid being cut with two bloody marks. Sang Lu’s expression changed slightly in an instant. She smacked her lips, as if she were savoring the faint smell of blood.
It was an extremely short process, but it was enough to completely wake Xia Weishuang up.
Xia Weishuang took a quick breath and simply got out of bed to go to the bathroom. She washed her hands with cold water and patted her face, and her whole person shivered.
What was she trying to do just now… Xia Weishuang herself couldn’t say. After thinking about it, she could only blame that demon for being too bewitching.
612 was very quiet. This quietness, on the contrary, made the outside world seem a little noisy.
On a cold night, the zombies were still moving tirelessly. They were not afraid of the scorching heat or the severe cold. Their mutated bodies were no longer as fragile as ordinary corpses. The virus had taken away their souls, but it had also given them a new life.
Xia Weishuang went to Wei Yunlang’s small partitioned room to check on him. He was still in a deep sleep. She touched Wei Yunlang’s forehead, but did not feel any fever.
However, Wei Yunlang’s mouth was dry and chapped, and his brows were also furrowed, as if he had encountered a difficult problem in his deep sleep.
Xia Weishuang poured him a little water to moisten his throat. He was sleeping by the window. Coincidentally, there seemed to be some unusual movement outside.
Xia Weishuang went to the window to take a closer look and couldn’t help but frown. In the dim night, a person was riding a motorcycle and fleeing for his life. And behind him, there was a swaying mutated zombie!
The zombie’s leg was broken, and the other leg was stuck in half a tricycle. However, this little injury was nothing to the crazy mutated zombie. Even if it was missing half a leg, it could still use its arms instead, and its speed was not slow at all.
However, although the zombie was chasing like a four-legged beast, every time this strong mutated zombie pounced forward, the wheel that was stuck on its body would make its path of travel spin and go askew.
Therefore, the person in front could hold on until now.
The night was deep, and there were no streetlights that a bustling city should have outside. Xia Weishuang could not see who this person was, but she immediately guessed that this person was preparing to hide in the Zhenhua Grand Hotel.
The first floor was blocked, and only one window was left as an entrance and exit. Now it had been closed and covered from the inside.
Seeing that he was in danger, Xia Weishuang didn’t have time to think much. She quickly put on her coat and ran downstairs with her weapon.
The situation was different from before. There was not much Xia Weishuang could do. She definitely could not go out and fight the zombie in close combat, but she could try to shoot the mutated zombie from a distance.
She had to do it. Seeing this person riding a motorcycle and driving wildly, Xia Weishuang was really afraid that he would break the door that had just been blocked.
Especially when Xia Weishuang reached the second floor, the person was already very close. Xia Weishuang took a look and saw that his head was lowered and his whole body was trembling. The entire car, along with himself, was swaying. She knew that it was going to be bad.
Xia Weishuang didn’t have time to think much. She came to the window and fired a shot at the mutated zombie.
With a loud bang, the mutated zombie paused for a moment, but its speed did not decrease.
Xia Weishuang frowned. She wanted to give the zombie a headshot, but she couldn’t be so accurate. She had only hit the zombie’s chest.
However, the turning point came quickly. The person in front of the hotel, she didn’t know if he was shaken by the gunshot, but he suddenly became energetic. He braked hard and avoided a tragic car accident.
Then, the person below looked up at Xia Weishuang and shouted, “Give me the gun!”
This voice, is it a woman? If it weren’t for hearing the voice, Xia Weishuang would have thought it was a man just by looking at his height.
Xia Weishuang stood by the window and suddenly remembered something. For a moment, she couldn’t help but frown, and her thoughts were in a turmoil.
The situation below was already very urgent. The woman shouted again, saying that she knew how to use a gun.
So Xia Weishuang held onto the windowsill and, with a strong swing, she threw the handgun near the woman. The woman pounced forward, picked up the handgun, and nimbly flipped over. Before she could sit up from the ground, she raised her hand, and with almost no extra aiming time, she fired a decisive shot.
A gunshot was accompanied by the sound of a rotten watermelon exploding. The mutated zombie swayed and fell to the ground with a thud.
However, although this biggest threat had died, the woman downstairs was not completely safe. Behind her, there were a few ordinary zombies that had been attracted by the sound.
She supported herself on the ground with her hands and tried to stand up, but the forceful counterattack just now seemed to have consumed most of her strength, so much so that all her movements had become extremely slow.
Suddenly, a beam of light shone on her from above.
Xia Weishuang held a flashlight, raised her chin slightly, and looked at this person. “Come over! I’ll pull you up!”
A rope was thrown down from above. The woman didn’t have time to think much. She used her last bit of strength to grab the rope and, with Xia Weishuang’s help, she climbed into the second floor bit by bit.
After reaching a relatively safe place, the woman fell to the ground, panting heavily, and could barely speak.
Her arms and body were trembling. The blood loss, fever, fatigue, and cold made her on the verge of fainting. It was just that her unusually strong willpower and physical strength were still holding on.
“You… why are you so unguarded?” the woman’s low, hoarse voice laughed. “Aren’t you afraid that I’m a bad person? Don’t forget, your gun is still in my hand.”
Xia Weishuang stood two meters away from her, smiled faintly, and took out a handgun from behind her.
The woman: “…”
Xia Weishuang held the handgun properly, and was also holding a flashlight in her hand. The light shone on the woman’s face. She turned her face away and squinted, looking quite miserable.
Xia Weishuang was still very calm. “Although my marksmanship is not very accurate, with this gun at this distance, it’s enough to kill you before you can fight back. As for the gun in your hand, there’s only one bullet in it, and it’s empty now.”
Bullets were a limited resource for Xia Weishuang and the others, so they all knew clearly in their hearts how many each of them had in their hands and how many were loaded in their guns.
As for the handgun in her hand, she didn’t have one before. She had to thank Gu Minzhi for personally delivering it to her door.
“You should be very familiar with this gun,” the winter night was very cold. Xia Weishuang couldn’t help but stamp her feet. “Aren’t you?”
The woman breathed a sigh of relief, squinted at her, and suddenly curled her lips into a smile, with a hint of being carefree. “You recognized me? That’s right. We met the day before yesterday. Your name is Xia Weishuang, right? It really surprised me. I was with Gu Minzhi when we attacked you before. Why did you save me?”
Xia Weishuang was silent for a moment, then said, “I saved you because you helped me.”
The woman raised her hand and gestured, then suddenly smiled. She had short hair and was very tall. Even though she was sitting on the ground, she was a big person who could not be ignored. “It was nothing. It’s a wonder you still remember.”
This woman was the female bodyguard who had been by Gu Minzhi’s side. Before, Xia Weishuang had been abducted by Gu Minzhi from the furniture city, and then Sang Lu had chased after her, split the car, and snatched her. In the nick of time, this woman had fired a shot, buying Xia Weishuang and Coal Ball a chance to escape.
And the day before yesterday, she had once again followed Gu Minzhi, holding a gun and attacking Sang Lu, and had also protected Gu Minzhi, and had taken her to escape from Sang Lu’s slaughter.
Xia Weishuang asked, “What’s your name?”
“Zheng Boqiang.”
Xia Weishuang said, “You were abandoned by Gu Minzhi?”
Zheng Boqiang was taken aback and smiled. “Is it that obvious?”
So Xia Weishuang said, “Although I don’t know you, I know her.”
Originally, after discovering that Zheng Boqiang was one of Gu Minzhi’s people, Xia Weishuang had not wanted to save her. Even though she had helped her before, it could not outweigh her hostile position and the fact that she had already attacked.
And now that she had been abandoned by Gu Minzhi, she could only say that she deserved it. Xia Weishuang should have stood by and watched, neither adding insult to injury nor helping.
At first, Xia Weishuang had wanted to leave her to die.
But suddenly, she remembered her premonition. She suddenly had other ideas. So, she changed her original choice and, at the fork in the road of fate, she had embarked on a path that was completely different from the one in her premonition.
In the premonition’s fate line, she would have inevitably watched Zheng Boqiang die in the mouth of a mutated zombie, and then, when the zombie was concentrating on eating the corpse, she would have killed the zombie and solved this small crisis.
But now, she had chosen to save this woman.
Because she realized that no matter where she fled, she would be chased by Gu Minzhi. Then she should not continue to choose to retreat and hide. Only by taking the initiative to attack could she completely get rid of this annoying Gu Minzhi.
She needed someone who knew the current Gu Minzhi better, someone who knew the base.
Zheng Boqiang was undoubtedly a suitable candidate.
She had been one of Gu Minzhi’s people before, but her attitude towards Gu Minzhi was actually not very good. She had lost Gu Minzhi’s face before, and would definitely be held a grudge by Gu Minzhi. So this time, she was injured and was abandoned by Gu Minzhi.
A dog that was not very loyal in the first place, after being abandoned, it was natural for it to change its position.
As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Xia Weishuang had always been reasonable and would not hold a grudge against the knife that was wielded by the murderer.
“Zheng Boqiang,” Xia Weishuang said. “Since you’ve seen me with Gu Minzhi twice, you should know the relationship between Gu Minzhi and me. For the sake of you having helped me before, I’ll give you a choice. It’s up to you to choose whether to join me and take revenge on Gu Minzhi, or to go back and continue to serve her after you’ve recovered from your injuries.”
Emphasizing that she had helped her was actually to close the distance and let Zheng Boqiang let down her guard.
Xia Weishuang smiled faintly and was kind and approachable. “Don’t worry. Even if you choose to continue to follow her, for the sake of you having helped me, I won’t do anything to you.”
It’s just that she would throw her down.
