There were too many zombies surrounding them and the survivor group could no longer care about her.
Shen Qingqing screamed and wanted to seek protection at Lu Ming's side.
But Lu Ming had enough trouble taking care of himself.
It was as though the zombies knew his power was the most powerful and there were three high level zombies surrounding him. The zombies howled and pounced on him, circulating a smelly vacuum of air.
Lu Ming had difficulty fending them off.
Once Shen Qingqing saw three high level zombies surrounding him, she no longer dared to run towards him.
Yet she had nowhere else to retreat to.
She had no battle prowess and usually relied on men. She had never thought of building up her physical strength thus even if she wanted to flee now, she was not capable of doing so.
Zombies from all sides staggered around and slowly surrounded her. Shen Qingqing shivered in fear and retreated a few steps back. "Help! Help—"
Yet, no matter how much she screamed for help, in front of danger, no one could afford to be distracted and save her.
Shen Qingqing's face was frighteningly pale like a white sheet.
Her last sight was the zombies opening their mouth wide, bloody and sticky.
It was disgusting and made one in despair.
Just when the zombies were going to bite down, Shen Qingqing closed her eyes in resignation and despair as she waited for her death.
But after a long time, there was only the foul smell of the zombies and no surge of pain.
She peeled her eyes open and realized that the zombies had stopped moving.
It was as though the scene had a stop button that was pressed and all the zombies stopped their actions.
Silence.
On the hill not far away, a slim girl slowly walked forward. The wind blew up her short shoulder length hair and the sun shone warmly on her.
She held hands with a small figure as the two of them stood on the hill, looking down on them.
—Yun Xia!
Shen Qingqing widened her eyes and immediately understood…
Yun Xia had not fallen for their trick at all!
Before she could even think, Shen Qingqing immediately pathetically crawled towards Yun Xia and cried as she gave a kowtow. "Peng! Peng! Peng!"
"Yun Xia, I know that I'm in the wrong. I have let you down. I won't do it anymore so please let me go! I beg you to let me go…"
She gave a harsh kowtow and after a few times, blood started to flow out, but she dared not to stop and continued to kowtow. "I beg you! I beg you…"
Yun Xia gave a slight smirk and her expression was indifferent.
Beg?
It was too late.
She said in a soft voice, "Do you know why I stopped the zombies?"
Shen Qingqing looked at her with tears brimming in her eyes.
The demon lord laughed. "Because I want to see for myself when you are being eaten… Only then will it be interesting."
She raised her hand and stroked the little zombie's silver hair at her side. "Let them continue."
Yan Zhuo stared at the zombies below him.
The silence was broken and the excited howls of the zombies rang again.
It was mixed with Shen Qingqing's final scream.
A sea of blood painted the sunset red.
Lu Ming did not look at Shen Qingqing and only stared at the girl on the hill.
Although his powers were strong, it was not without limits.
The high level zombie pounced on him and its sharp hand tightly strangled his throat.
Yun Xia motioned for Yan Zhuo to stop the zombies and showed a warm smile. "Lu Ming, are you regretful?"
In the hands of the zombie, Lu Ming stared at her and arduously nodded his head. "Xiaxia…"
The great demon lord blinked her eyes. "If I spare your life, will you treat me well in the future?"
Lu Ming froze.
The little zombie beside her froze as well.
Without waiting for Lu Ming's reply, the little zombie grabbed the girl's hand and his grayish-white eyes widened. He stared at her in curiosity and bewilderment.
