TSIAGBICATMWI Chapter 44

Chapter 44: Another Wave Arises

Having run out of the town in one breath, Wu Yunbin and Zhou Zhongxiang finally stopped to catch their breath. Wu Yunbin leaned against a nearby tree, supporting his waist to stand firm, gasping for air, and said, “Don’t… don’t we still have a grenade? It shouldn’t be that we were about to die there!”

Zhou Zhongxiang was surprised, “Didn’t we run out?”

“We have one, I remember we only used two. We used one in Mutang Town, and one in the Qilian Mountains. There should be one left.” Wu Yunbin could count where they were used without thinking too much; they were all thrilling and dangerous situations, so it was hard not to remember.

“Didn’t you use one to blow up the road?” Zhou Zhongxiang remembered that to block the approaching zombie army, didn’t they discuss blowing up the section of the highway that spanned two bridge holes?

Wu Yunbin explained: “Later, we piled up the fuel tanks of those cars on the roadside, and Sister Xi used a fireball to detonate them. Didn’t you know?”

Zhou Zhongxiang was dumbfounded and blurted out, “If I f*ing knew, would I still be running?”

Wu Yunbin timidly said, “Even if I knew, I still ran.”

Zhou Zhongxiang pointed at Wu Yunbin’s nose angrily and said, “I haven’t even said anything about you yet, and you have the nerve to say that. You knew, so why did you run?”

“Wasn’t I running with you!” Wu Yunbin felt wronged. He had been apprehensive all the way, avoiding zombies along the way and speeding away from the abnormal zombie behind him. He was exhausted, okay? His body was tired, and his heart was tired too.

“I run, so you run? Are you my follower!” Zhou Zhongxiang was so angry that he spoke without thinking. If the life of ordinary people in the base wasn’t so unbearable, he wouldn’t have risked leaving the base and coming out.

He had heard from others that those ability users didn’t care about the lives of ordinary people at all. When they encountered danger, let alone saving you, they wouldn’t hesitate to push you out to block a knife. Many people even used ordinary people as bait to hunt evolved zombies to obtain Crystal Cores.

He was lucky this time to be following Gu Tangxi. She was a good captain, and she always tried her best to save the people who followed her, but unfortunately, she had bad luck and encountered things she couldn’t solve.

The small team of fifteen people now only had a few of them left.

“Why don’t we go back and find them.” Wu Yunbin didn’t want to be alone with Zhou Zhongxiang. Just the two of them were noobs; they would be killed as soon as they showed their faces.

“Go back? How do we go back? Even if you go back now, do you think Gu Tangxi will take care of you in a dangerous situation?”

“It’s still better than the two of us being together. Anyway, she won’t push us out as meat shields. If she doesn’t care, we can just hide behind them.”

“How do you know she won’t?”

“Haven’t you been with her long enough to know? She’s a good captain. We’re the ones who are letting her down.”

“Ugh! Stop talking! It’s annoying. It’s impossible to go back. Let’s just wait for them here.”

“How do you know they’ll definitely come out from here?”

“Please, there are only two exits in this town. We came in from that side, so if they want to change their route back, of course, they have to come out from this side. Use your pig brain and think properly, okay? How did you survive until now being so stupid?”

Wu Yunbin weakly muttered, “Just talk, why are you scolding people?”

Zhou Zhongxiang asked loudly, “What did you say?”

“Nothing, I didn’t say anything.” Forget it, it’s not easy for anyone, so I’ll let him have his way.

After a nap, it was dawn. Gu Tangxi called out to Gu Tangyue, who was sleeping soundly, “Didn’t you say you were watching me sleep? How come you’re sleeping even more soundly than me?”

Gu Tangyue quickly got up, rubbed her eyes, and patted her face to wake up, “Oh, sorry, I was too sleepy and accidentally fell asleep.”

“Alright, it’s dawn, get up quickly.” Fortunately, she didn’t really sleep to death. If she relied on this little girl to keep watch, they would have died a thousand or eight hundred times already.

Xie YunChuan walked over with Luo Shuyou in his arms, who was still asleep.

Gu Tangyue looked enviously at the soundly sleeping Luo Shuyou and said to Gu Tangxi with disdain, “Look at him, then look at you, ugh…!”

Gu Tangxi patted her straight waist, “Stand up straight, cheer up, what are you looking at? I can’t carry you. That’s someone’s partner. You want someone to carry you? Go find a man to carry you.”

Gu Tangyue shook her drowsy head, “Huh? What? Isn’t he his younger brother?”

“Younger brother? When did he say he was his younger brother? You say it’s something, so it is?”

“Okay, okay, I won’t argue with you.”

Lowering her head, she saw the White Tiger Cub at Xie YunChuan’s feet. Gu Tangyue exclaimed in surprise, “Wow! Where did this little tiger cub come from? So cute!”

Gu Tangxi helplessly complained, “He’s been following Luo Shuyou since last night, okay? Are you selectively blind?”

“Didn’t notice, didn’t notice!” Gu Tangyue looked at the White Tiger Cub at Xie YunChuan’s feet with joy and was about to reach out to hug it.

Xie YunChuan stepped forward and blocked her, “Shuyou doesn’t like others touching his things.”

“I won’t touch him, just pet him.”

Isn’t that the same thing? Xie YunChuan stood firmly there, unmoving, and the Little White Tiger also sensibly hid behind him.

He was the exclusive property of his little master, and not just anyone could touch him.

Gu Tangxi grabbed Gu Tangyue’s collar and pulled her up, “Alright, he already said you can’t touch him, let’s go.”

Gu Tangyue was unwillingly dragged away.

They continued to scavenge other small shops. Even mosquitoes have meat, and finding a little bit is better than nothing.

Arriving next to an abandoned building, they smelled the stench of rotten flesh from afar. Xie YunChuan looked inside and said, “This should be the lair of the zombie from last night.”

“Do you want to go in and take a look?” Gu Tangxi’s mood was a little heavy. With such a strong stench, it was estimated that the guy had eaten a lot of people. She just didn’t know if there were any survivors inside.

“Let’s go.” Xie YunChuan took Luo Shuyou’s hand and took the lead to walk into the building. The Little White Tiger followed beside him, covering his nose with his front paws in disgust, and followed crookedly with his three feet.

Ugh, no one told him that having a sense of smell would cause him to suffer like this. If he had known, he wouldn’t have wasted energy creating it.

Walking into the inner room, the mountain-high pile of human bones was shocking. It seemed that the survivors who had been hiding in the town before were all caught and eaten by this zombie. She didn’t know if there were any living people in other places. With so many corpses, it was no wonder that the zombie was raised so stout and thick-skinned.

Half a relatively fresh corpse was left on the ground, which should have been left behind when it was eating last night when Xie YunChuan and the others attracted its attention.

They vigilantly looked around to see if there were any living people. Logically speaking, this was the territory of that Level 1 zombie, so no other ordinary zombies should break in, but it was still better to be careful.

Just as they were thinking this, four or five zombies burst in from outside the wall. Judging by their agile movements, it was estimated that they were all low-level zombies.

They all pounced on Xie YunChuan, or rather, they pounced on Luo Shuyou beside Xie YunChuan. Xie YunChuan pushed Luo Shuyou away and shouted back, “Help me watch him, stay away from him, he will attack you.”

Xie YunChuan always assigned such outrageous and unreasonable tasks. Gu Tangxi was dumbfounded. How was she supposed to watch him?

She had to protect him so that he wouldn’t get hurt, and she had to stay away from him so that he wouldn’t hurt people. How was she supposed to operate this?

Why don’t you demonstrate it, big brother?
