Chapter 18
The rain grew heavier and the intense sounds of rain hitting the ground almost drowned out the sounds of the monsters.
With a loud thunder and a bang, the iron gate of a small restaurant fell forward, crushing a few zombies that were lunging at the door.
Immediately after, two people wearing black leather jackets and motorcycle helmets rushed out of the house, one with a large butcher knife and the other with an iron rod.
As soon as they stepped outside, the falling rain quickly obscured the protective visor on their hats, blurring everything in front of Cheng Du's eyes.
"Let's go~~"
Cheng Du saw Li Guai Guai standing still, not caring what Li Guai Guai wanted to do, she grabbed her and rushed forward.
Before, they avoided many zombies and took shelter in a restaurant. But to their surprise, there were also many zombies inside the restaurant. They were probably former customers who turned into zombies. After the outbreak, they were all trapped inside the store.
Outside, the zombies were clawing at the crumbling door. The danger of more zombies gathering was increasing. They couldn't stay inside the house either, so they had no choice but to run out of the house before getting eaten by the zombies, in search of a way to survive.
The rain outside came just in time. It hindered the movement and hearing of the zombies to some extent. However, the rain also had its impact on them.
Even Cheng Du, who had fought many battles (referring to martial arts competitions), missed most of her attacks and couldn't hit the right spot.
"Cheng Du, what are you doing? They're no longer human."
As Li Guai Guai watched Cheng Du's half-hearted attacks, she became angry. This person was much more skilled than her, but she always showed mercy. Previously, she only attacked their legs and hands to restrict the zombies' movement, but now was not the time for showing mercy.
In front of Cheng Du's eyes, a zombie lunged towards her, but a silent iron rod arrived just in time.
The zombie fell heavily to the ground, lifeless.
Li Guaigua grabbed the soaked collar of the person beside her, her tone filled with a strong warning. "Let me tell you, I don't want to die and I don't want to dirty my hands by collecting bodies for you. So please make full use of your abilities."
Li Guai Guai has always been carefree and lazy, but with a bit of a spoiled temper. This is the first time Cheng Du has ever seen her look so determined, and it actually scared her.
The zombie growled and charged at the two of them. Cheng Du, who had grabbed the collar of the zombie, quickly reacted and kicked the person away. At the same time, she swung her weapon at another zombie nearby.
"Where should I strike, Miss?"
As she spoke, it was clear from her tone that Cheng Du had returned to being the familiar Li Guai Guai.
"Strike the head," she said casually.
Following her instructions, Cheng Du decisively struck the heads of several zombies. However, those zombies didn't fall down. This surprised Li Guai Guai instead.
Cheng Du looked at the person beside her, wearing a motorbike helmet and shielded from her disdainful expression. Luckily, it was raining heavily, so Li Guai Guai couldn't see how she felt.
"They show it like this on TV," she muttered. Cheng Du listened and felt an urge to hit her. Just as she was about to say something, those zombies, who had lost their heads, started falling to the ground one after another, unable to move anymore.
It seemed to be effective, just a bit slow.
"Roar~"
As these few zombies fell, there were more zombies roaring and rushing towards the two people in front of them. Cheng Du looked at it and thought, this way is definitely not going to work.
"Let's go~"
Successfully chopping down two zombies, she grabbed Li Guai Guai and ran forward.
*********
The rain seems to be getting heavier and heavier.
In the dormitory, there was a peaceful and tranquil feeling. After the two scares, Lu Jia had decided to give up on Li Guai Guai's computer. But her hand accidentally clicked on a video. She intended to close it right away, but what she heard was, "Don't underestimate me just because I'm a sheep..."
The finger that was supposed to land on the 'x' stopped suddenly, and there was a feeling of redemption.
The two of them, one earphone each, quietly watched the video on the computer. Lu Jia also noticed that Su Mo was quite serious about watching it. She couldn't complain about it since Su Mo was currently following the path of a child and had an interest in this. She could understand it very well. After all, she used to like fairy castles when she was little.
But in Li Guai Guai's file, is it too big a difference to watch both zombies and sheep at the same time? It's a bit excessive to have such a varied diet.
Probably because the night was too boring and Su Mo seemed interested, Lu Jia decided to watch with her. They sat with a blanket behind them, maybe feeling a bit uncomfortable. While they were watching, Lu Jia seemed to snuggle up to Su Mo.
The wolf on the computer screen was sent flying countless times. It said, "I'll be back." Lu Jia looked at it and couldn't help but yawn. She glanced at Su Mo next to her, who was engrossed in watching. Lu Jia suddenly had some doubts. Can someone really see anything without pupils?
Maybe sensing her thoughts, Su Mo actually turned her head to look at her at that moment. Lu Jia quickly averted her gaze and looked back at the computer screen.
It's clear that Lu Jia was overthinking. Su Mo can obviously see.
Following her movement, Su Mo also looked back at the computer screen again.
A pleasant voice, full of jokes, eased Lu Jia's mood. This must be the magic of cartoons. Time seemed to become more gentle, and those who couldn't fall asleep before became increasingly sleepy.
Lu Jia's brain reminded her not to sleep, so whenever she felt drowsy, she pinched herself. But as she pinched herself, even her arm became numb.
She silently yawned and struggled to open her eyes, closing them and opening them in a cycle. However, in the end, she couldn't resist the strong drowsiness and leaned against Su Mo, falling asleep.
Even though it was the last moment, all she thought about was not staying up too late and persevering. But her strong will clearly couldn't overcome her body's instinct.
On the computer, the Big Bad Wolf finally caught the little one and started to cook. Planning to make a delicious meal.
Outside the computer, feeling the pressure on her body, Su Mo slowly turned her head to look at the food leaning against her. It emitted a faint fragrance, a kind of aroma that could be enjoyed, much better than the hard and stiff things, she didn't know how much.
As a predator, the food leaning against her had an irresistible allure, even surpassing her own imagination. So Lu Jia's worries were not unfounded.
Maybe just one bite, she wasn't very hungry, but she had an urge to take another bite. She slightly lowered her head, her face getting closer and closer to the person leaning against her.
However, just as she got close to Lu Jia, her mouth accidentally touched Lu Jia's nose. Perhaps the strange sensation disturbed the dreamer's dream, Lu Jia, half-asleep, even rubbed her nose against the other person's mouth and lazily murmured, "Stop it~"
Her voice seemed magical, running into Su Mo's ears and causing her grey eyes to become clear in an instant.
The familiar face in front of her made her freeze.
"L-" she started to say, but before the word could come out, her eyes turned grey again.
The person without any ideas turned their head stiffly and looked at the group of sheep that had already escaped, as well as the wolf shouting that they would come back. She fixed her gaze on the next episode.
The person leaning on her seemed uncomfortable, so she moved around until she found Su Mo. She found a soft spot and gave a few kisses. This dream should be delicious.
*******
The thunder outside gradually became quieter, and the rain seemed to be smaller than before.
Walking slowly on the wet and empty street, Li Guai Guai carried Cheng Du. The weight of the rain slowed them down, but luckily there were no zombies here.
Thanks to Cheng Du, the two successfully climbed over a fence and entered a kindergarten, which to some extent stopped the zombies from following them.
Afterward, the two quietly escaped from the kindergarten through the back door, but the appearance of a small zombie disrupted their composure.
It was Cheng Du who pushed Li Guai Guai away, but she herself was hit by a fallen bookshelf on her leg while trying to avoid the child, and then ended up like this.
"Y...you let me down!"
The person on her back knew that if they continued like this, both of them would not survive. She didn't want to burden Li Guai Guai and hoped that Li Guai Guai would let her down. But clearly, after getting hurt and being soaked in the rain, she no longer had the strength to get off Li Guai Guai's back on her own.
"Shut up! I'm a spoiled girl. Now I'm carrying you through such trouble, so you better behave and stop talking nonsense."
The words were spoken with heavy panting, obviously reaching their physical limit. Both of them now understood that they needed a place to hide. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to make it through the night.
Reluctantly, Li Guai Guai randomly found a house. There was an advantage to the alley - there were fewer buildings and the doors were generally old-fashioned, making them easier to open.
As for Li Guai Guai and them, luckily they had a big cleaver, which happened to come in handy.
Who could have imagined that she, the wealthy Miss of the Li family, would degrade herself to picking locks? It's really embarrassing.
Cheng Du had no strength left and could only watch on the side. She watched Li Guai Guai skillfully tamper with the lock and couldn't help but feel that this spoiled girl seemed to have a talent for picking locks.
The door finally opened, but the lock near the door was also in bad shape. In short, it couldn't be locked again.
Li Guai Guai dragged Cheng Du inside and let her lean against the doorway for now.
"You said you were a young lady, but you seem to be quite skilled at this."
In response, Li Guai Guai just gave Cheng Du a disapproving look. At the same time, she returned the cleaver to Cheng Du. She couldn't close the door in case they couldn't defeat the enemy and needed to run. So she could only ask Cheng Du to call her if there was trouble, and she quietly walked into the house. She had to make sure there were no threats inside.
Outside the house, a trembling zombie was walking slowly along its path, eventually it would appear at the door where Cheng Du was lying.
The person lying down obviously sensed the noise outside and became tense both mentally and physically. The hand holding the cleaver couldn't even grip it tightly.
Under Cheng Du's nervousness, a dark figure quietly passed by from outside and directly pounced on the zombie. The zombie that was pounced on didn't have time to react and had its head smashed instantly, no longer moving.
The person lying down stared intently for a long time. But gradually, the sounds from outside disappeared, there was no movement anymore.
Did....they leave?
Cheng Du muttered to herself. After she walked around inside, the person who left earlier had already come out. Her first action was to close the door.
"There's no one here, we're temporarily safe."
She talked while dragging several boxes and a small sofa to the door, temporarily blocking it. Then she sat on the sofa with Cheng Du and left a set of clothes.
Cheng Du looked and obediently changed her clothes, but unfortunately, she was weak and lacked energy.
Li Guai Guai looked and felt more resentful. She was doing more work than her family's housekeeper - picking locks and changing clothes.
However, when it came to clothes, she still changed them quite seriously.
