"We will carry him out." ng Suisui and Wan Guo Fu agreed at once. They helped Bai iyue in carrying Lei Qian out of the room. While the two of them were bringing Lei Qian out, Bai iyue was about to clean the room and bring the rest of the things that Lei Qian had left behind, and it was during this ti, when she was cleaning the space, that she saw a picture lying on the floor.
She pursed her lips and picked it up. The second she saw the picture, Bai iyue felt a bit complicated. It was her picture, and from the traces of blood on the paper, it showed how many tis and how desperately Lei Qian had clung to her picture when he was still conscious.
Bai iyue stretched her fingers and wiped the blood that was over the picture, and then placed the picture back in Lei Qian’s bag, and then started packing away the rest of the things. Including crossbows and many other weapons that he had brought along with him.
Outside the room, ng Suisui hooked up the rucksack over her shoulders while Wan Guo Fu carried Lei Qian on his back. Bai iyue, on the other hand, brought up the rear while bringing the rest of the things that Lei Qian had left behind. It took them a lot of ti to go downstairs, as Wan Guo Fu was having a lot of trouble bringing Lei Qian down. Because the man was unconscious and going through another evolution, he had literally no control over his powers. Thus, while it was no problem for Bai iyue to touch the man, Wan Guo Fu, whose body wasn’t as ice-cold as hers, was having a hard ti dealing with the man on his back.
The heat wafting from Lei Qian’s body was enough to make him grit his teeth and rest for a while. "I cannot carry him continuously. He is too hot; I am worried that if I carry him too long, my skin will end up getting all scorched up." He said to Bai iyue angrily, while the latter soothed the first-degree burn marks on his back.
Bai iyue sighed heavily when she realised that the matter was not as simple as she thought it was. She rubbed her temples and said to Lei Qian, "I will see what I can do."
As she spoke, she helped Wan Guo Fu develop a temporary resistance to heat. "Let’s go. This won’t work for a long ti, so we cannot linger here for long—"
She was still speaking when Bai iyue suddenly felt that there was sothing wrong with the energy fluctuations in the air. All of a sudden, a bad premonition rose in her heart, and she turned to look behind her. Even though she couldn’t see what was coming after them, she had sensed the fluctuations in the air. She didn’t trun to look at Wan Guo Fu and hurriedly said to him, "Guo Fu, you need to run."
"What?"
Wan Guo Fu and ng Suisui turned to look at her in surprise, as they didn’t expect Bai iyue to suddenly ask them to run. Bai iyue didn’t care what the two of them were thinking; she pushed them to the ice bridge while following them. However, her back was to them, and she was looking at the incredibly fast black shadow that was coming closer and closer with each passing second.
Bai iyue’s eyes narrowed when she saw the black shadow coming closer.
She shouted to Wan Guo Fu, "Keep running! Don’t stop."
As she spoke, she placed her hands on her belly and started running as well, but she didn’t dare to run too fast. She stepped onto the ice bridge and turned around suddenly when she saw that the black shadow was rushing towards her. Seeing this, Bai iyue’s eyes widened, and she hurriedly morphed an ice spear and hurled it at the thing, but the zombie didn’t stop, as it was at the fourth level, and what was more terrifying was that this zombie was about to move to the fifth level. If she was not careful, then she was sure that this thing would kill her right away.
Bai iyue hurriedly prepared for another attack when the shadow took three large lunges and pounced on her.
"Bai iyue!"
Wan Guo Fu shouted behind her, and she heard the sound of footsteps coming over.
"Leave alone! You need to leave."
Bai iyue smiled when she said those words. A part of her was quite sad and horrified when she realised that she was the one who said those words. A person like her, who spent more than ten years in the apocalypse in her past life, was actually telling others to run away and leave her alone to fight this thing, when clearly, she should have left these people to die and yet she was here standing in between them like a rock., after suffering so much, she thought that she had grown cold-hearted and selfish. But who would have thought that she was still as silly as ever? She actually told Wan Guo Fu to leave her alone to face a fourth-level zombie?
Just what was going on in her mind? Had she lost it completely?
However, just as Bai iyue pulled one of her legs back, a sharp knife ca flying and dug deep into the skull of the zombie, but this zombie was bigger and stronger. The knife alone was not enough to take it down.
"Yueyue, crouch down!"
Fox’s voice echoed from sowhere behind her, but where, Bai iyue didn’t know, and she didn’t even care. The one thing that she cared about was that he asked her to bend down. Holding her belly, she squatted down and then—
Bang. Bang. Bang.
The sound of machine gun firing echoed behind them. The bullets pierced the zombie rcilessly without any rcy. Once, twice, thrice...no one knew how many tis the zombie was shot. At first, the zombie tried to fight back, but then the sound of a machine gun started to echo from all over the space. Bai iyue didn’t dare raise her head and continued to squat in a corner.
She could feel the wind whirling past her as bullets continued to fly past her.
The people behind her continued to shoot crazily until the fourth-rank zombie stopped moving and turned into a sieve.
It was estimated that the snipers were hiding in the shadows and waiting to help her out in case sothing went wrong. She wondered why these people were going to such lengths to protect her. In the past, she didn’t have anyone protecting her, and now that soone was going to such lengths to protect her–it was a rather complicated feeling which made her feel weird. Because no one had ever cared for her, not even once.
Bai iyue raised her head and saw Fox aiming at the zombies with countless ability users. Not only were they targeting the fourth-rank zombies, but they were also attacking the zombies that were slowly climbing up the pillars of the bridge. As the shooting on the bridge, Bai iyue slowly got to her feet and then turned to look behind her completely. The locks of her hair were fluttering behind her. Just a second ago, she thought that she was going to lose her life and just at that very second, her sadness disappeared.
Even after saying Lei Qian, Wan Guo Fu and ng Suisui, she was still alive and that was all that mattered.
I am sorry, baby; I placed you in danger. After all, I needed to protect your father—if sothing happened to him, I am sure you would have never forgiven .
Bai iyue knew that her son loved his dad way more than he loved his mother. If sothing had happened to Lei Qian, who always spoilt Xiao Cai, her son would have never forgiven her.
With a sigh, she turned to look at Fox and said, "Thank you for saving my life." As annoying as Fox was, she had to admit that it was all because of him that she was able to survive this danger.
Once she finished speaking, she turned to look at the fourth-ranking zombie. That thing had been dealt with thoroughly and it blew to bits due to the bullets that had been fired at it. There was not a single spot that had been left. Bai iyue looked at the fourth-ranking zombies very carefully and realised that it was actually a zombie with speed and shadow ability. Her eyes raised slightly as she stretched out her hand and fetched the crystal nuclei of the monster.
As the hand retracted and placed the crystal nuclei in her hand, Bai iyue weighed it and realised that it did weigh quite a lot.
Bai iyue looked at the crystal nuclei and then raised her head to look at the zombie and frowned.
