| Previous | Table of Contents | Next |
The center of the rooftop was suddenly exposed. Cui Xisheng leaned to the side, peeking out from behind Meng Jiangtian. His eyes immediately landed on the blood-soaked, sluggishly moving female zombie.
The girl had just turned. Her flesh had not yet rotted. Though her face was deathly pale with a ghostly hue, one could still tell that she had been a beauty in life.
“Yaoyao, Yaoyao!”
A boy stood beside the female zombie, calling her name in anguish. He wanted to stop her rampage but was afraid of being bitten.
The zombie girl staggered and flailed around erratically for a while before her cloudy eyes suddenly fixed on Meng Jiangtian, Liu Anna, and Cui Xisheng, who had been exposed after the crowd scattered.
“Jiangtian, run! She’s locked onto us!” Liu Anna tugged at Meng Jiangtian, trying to flee.
Cui Xisheng was also startled. He struggled to get up from the ground, desperate to escape.
But his sudden movement triggered a wave of dizziness. He collapsed back down, leaning against the wall, waiting for the spell to pass.
“Don’t move.”
Meng Jiangtian glanced back at the weakened Cui Xisheng, then shook off Liu Anna’s hand. He raised both hands, conjuring a small tornado, his gaze locked cautiously on the female zombie.
“Jiangtian…” Liu Anna followed Meng Jiangtian’s line of sight and looked back at Cui Xisheng. She frowned but said nothing more.
The female zombie shrieked, baring her bloody fangs, and lunged at them.
Liu Anna hesitated for a moment. Then, instead of hiding behind Meng Jiangtian, she moved toward Cui Xisheng.
She roughly yanked the dizzy Cui Xisheng off the ground and shoved him in front of her like a human shield.
Cui Xisheng, already woozy, became even dizzier from the sudden pull. He wanted to push Liu Anna away, but his body was too weak from anemia.
Looking up, he saw the female zombie sprinting toward him in a grotesque posture, her gaping mouth filled with mangled flesh. Up close, she reeked of blood and decay.
Cui Xisheng’s stomach twisted. He gagged and turned his head, vomiting again.
Then, realizing that Liu Anna was using him as a shield, he forced himself to turn toward her and dry heave directly in her face.
“What the hell are you doing?!” Liu Anna screamed, her face drained of color. She shoved Cui Xisheng away in horror and quickly retreated to a spot against the wall.
Cui Xisheng, satisfied, smirked eerily and continued dry heaving.
Meng Jiangtian flung the small tornado in his hands. As it caught the wind, it expanded into a violent gust, sending the female zombie flying backward.
“Yaoyao!”
Wang Yu threw himself forward, catching the airborne zombie girl.
Zombies were fragile. A hard fall could easily snap their limbs.
Meng Jiangtian ignored the flying zombie. Behind him, Cui Xisheng’s gut-wrenching retching continued to grate on his ears.
He turned around, intending to check on Cui Xisheng, but before he could move, a body suddenly clung to him.
“Jiangtian, I’m so scared…” Liu Anna sobbed, trembling as she tightly wrapped herself around Meng Jiangtian.
Meng Jiangtian tried to pry her off, but she wouldn’t let go. He lifted his gaze to Cui Xisheng.
Cui Xisheng had nothing left to vomit. He dry-heaved a few more times before collapsing onto the ground, gasping for breath.
Meng Jiangtian’s frown deepened, his brows creased in layers.
Behind them, the female zombie abruptly fell silent.
Wang Yu, who had caught her, was nearly bitten in the process. In a panic, he quickly stored the crazed zombie girl inside his spatial ability.
Meng Jiangtian, still holding onto Liu Anna, turned back just in time to see Wang Yu glaring at Cui Xisheng with undisguised hatred.
His expression instantly turned icy cold.
