"Sigh..." As Wang Cheng let out a breath of relief, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes.
Looking at the boy with a large hole in his abdomen, eyes wide open yet devoid of any life, Wang Cheng deeply felt a sense of vindictive pleasure. But just then, he suddenly felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.
Looking up, Xia Na was watching him indifferently. Wang Cheng's heart skipped a beat upon meeting her gaze: "I..."
"Stop talking." Xia Na waved her hand, interrupting him. Although she had been forced to retreat just now, it was clear to her that the boy hadn't charged over by his own volition. However, if it weren't for him, it's likely that the remaining three would have all died here.
Wang Cheng's actions were selfish and ruthless, but she didn't want to say anything more about it. Perhaps from a certain perspective, what he did wasn't wrong. If Ling Mo were here, he might even admire such actions. But if he were really here, he could definitely handle even two Mutated Zombies.
Xia Na felt her thoughts were a mess as she slowly walked with Liu Yuhao and Wang Cheng toward the dormitory building. Lost in distraction, she didn't notice a human shadow staring at her from a Dark place.
"That Ling guy isn't here, where did he go!"
"But never mind, getting rid of you all first is not too late..."
The moment Xia Na stepped down the stairs, the human shadow charged out rapidly. Xia Na only felt an immense force strike her back, sending her flying from her spot and heavily crashing at the corner of the staircase below.
Her whole body felt as if it had fallen apart, but her rich combat experience still drove her to try to get up. But before she could stand, a blood-soaked human shadow appeared before her.
"Xia Na, didn't expect to see you again so soon, did you?"
Lu Xin snarled through gritted teeth, and as Xia Na struggled to get up, he had already slammed a punch into the back of her head and decisively picked up the now unconscious Xia Na, hoisting her over his shoulder.
"Lu... Lu Xin..."
Liu Yuhao, still standing at the top of the stairs, was completely stunned by the scene before him. But the moment Xia Na was knocked out, he snapped back to reality and charged down madly.
However, Lu Xin, carrying a person, was much faster than the completely drained Liu Yuhao. When he finally left Liu Yuhao far behind, he scornfully gave him the finger and said, "Bring Ling Mo to me at the male dormitory. Otherwise, I'll kill Xia Na!"
"Fuck you, Lu Xin!"
Liu Yuhao cursed furiously, but with his speed, he could only watch helplessly as Lu Xin carried Xia Na into the male dormitory. Just as he was about to give chase, Wang Cheng, panting heavily, rushed over and grabbed his arm: "Don't go, are you trying to die? Didn't you see how Lu Xin was? He's definitely mutated, he's not human anymore!"
"Damn it..." Liu Yuhao cursed repeatedly, but he didn't pursue any further. He knew in his heart that what Wang Cheng said was right; judging by the strength and speed Lu Xin had just shown, he definitely wasn't human anymore. Even if Lu Xin wasn't a zombie yet, he was mutating into one. Even if Lu Xin wouldn't kill Xia Na for the time being, if he fully mutated and lost his sanity, Xia Na would be truly doomed.
But how could he and Wang Cheng possibly defeat Lu Xin now?
"Ling! Where are you, Ling Mo!"
Liu Yuhao looked around frantically. In the empty campus, aside from the corpses of zombies killed by Xia Na, there were no other human shadows. Instead, several zombies lured by the scent of blood and noise suddenly appeared not far away. As soon as they saw him and Wang Cheng, they immediately rushed over.
"Fuck!"
In this situation, all there was left to do was to start running for their lives, and while doing so, Liu Yuhao was screaming Ling Mo's name in his head. When they had separated, Ling Mo had said he had some things to deal with in this school, but it was uncertain whether he had left by now. If Ling Mo had really left, Liu Yuhao guessed he would have to risk his life to save Xia Na...
At this moment, Liu Yuhao felt like a million "fuck you" horses were galloping through his mind. Had he known better, he should have killed Lu Xin with a single slash and Xia Na wouldn't be in danger now! That ingrate!
But cussing couldn't change the current situation, and Liu Yuhao, leading Wang Cheng, dove into a teaching building, finally managing to shake off a few pursuing zombies.
The two of them hid in a classroom, not daring to even breathe heavily, completely soaked in sweat.
It took a while for the surroundings to quiet down. Liu Yuhao cautiously poked his head out to check and, seeing the hallway empty, he signaled to Wang Cheng with a wave of his hand and they crawled out from the classroom.
"What do we do now?" Although Wang Cheng had managed to follow Liu Yuhao desperately, he was still frightened and his voice was trembling.
Liu Yuhao gritted his teeth and said, "What else can we do? We have to find Ling Mo! We must rescue Xia Na!"
"This..." Wang Cheng clearly did not want to continue risking his life following Liu Yuhao, but right now, Liu Yuhao was his only lifeline, so he started to ponder how to persuade Liu Yuhao.
However, what neither he nor Liu Yuhao expected was when they were carefully approaching the stairwell, they unexpectedly bumped into Ling Mo and Ye Lian, who were coming down the stairs.
"Huh?"
Ling Mo was startled to suddenly encounter two people but then relaxed and asked with some surprise, "What are you guys doing here?"
Except for zombies, there was no one else in this building, and it was not a suitable place to take refuge. The people Xia Na was looking for definitely weren't here. So how did they run into Liu Yuhao and Wang Cheng?
But before Liu Yuhao could answer, Ling Mo sensed that something was wrong. Looking at their expressions, it was clear they had been through a fierce battle, and they didn't seem to have been with anyone else; otherwise, Xia Na would have been seen by this time.
"Where's Xia Na?" Ling Mo had a sudden bad feeling inside.
Liu Yuhao hadn't expected to encounter Ling Mo here, but on hearing Ling Mo's question, he immediately responded, saying desperately, "Save Xia Na, she was taken by Lu Xin!" After saying this, he rushed to Ling Mo in three steps, grabbed Ling Mo's arm in a panic, his eyes filled with hope and terror, staring at Ling Mo intently.
"Taken? By Lu Xin?"
This news was too unexpected, and Ling Mo found it somewhat hard to digest for a moment.
"Yes! Lu Xin has mutated, but it seems he hasn't fully turned into a zombie. He's very strong and has a powerful attack, I couldn't beat him. And Xia Na was ambushed by him! He told you to go find her, otherwise he would kill Xia Na! Brother Ling, please..." Liu Yuhao was very agitated, and his words were a bit incoherent, but he managed to make his point clear. Throughout, he was clutching Ling Mo's arm tightly, as if fearful Ling Mo would refuse to help.
After listening, Ling Mo's face darkened immediately. This Lu Xin, aside from his idiotic thoughts, was unexpectedly cruel.
