Chapter 161

As for taking action to rescue the two women in front of them, it was indeed something Lu Ziming and Xu Rubing had planned to do from the start. According to their plan, it should have happened after they had determined the level of danger posed by the white-clothed man and woman.

Lu Ziming’s personality was inherently cautious, and she had no intention of fighting unprepared. So, they were originally going to observe for a while longer.

However, just as Lu Ziming clearly saw the face of the woman wearing the black combat uniform, her body moved without reason, preempting her thoughts.

The mere thought that if she didn’t act immediately, that woman would be hurt by the white-clothed man, made her body rush out as if it had a will of its own.

All thoughts of assessment and danger were thrown to the back of Lu Ziming’s mind. Even Lu Ziming herself was surprised by her irrational behavior, let alone Xu Rubing, who was beside her.

But when Xu Rubing also clearly saw Yao Jinglin’s face, she suddenly understood everything.

During their previous interactions, Xu Rubing had noticed that Yao Jinglin liked Lu Ziming. The occasional glances at Lu Ziming and the sparkling eyes when looking at Lu Ziming while speaking or making decisions all betrayed her inner feelings. However, at the time, everyone’s attention was mostly focused on the life-and-death matter of dealing with zombies, so not many people noticed it.

That was why she had deliberately flirted with Lu Ziming and tried to drive a wedge between them, because she couldn’t stand Yao Jinglin and Lu Ziming acting like saviors while being ordinary people. Her idea was simple: Why should only her heart become dark and twisted? Everyone was facing the threat of death and unfair treatment. She wouldn’t allow anyone to pretend to be a good person in front of her. Even if she couldn’t tear off their masks, she would prove that they were just ordinary people who would use others to achieve their goals. Their actions must have ulterior motives.

However, now, she wouldn’t have those thoughts anymore. Under Lu Ziming’s influence, her whole person was slowly breaking away from the previous state of madness where she wanted to destroy everything in front of her. Of course, all of this was only the case when Lu Ziming was near her.

Moreover, Yao Jinglin wasn’t there at that time.

She had thought that Yao Jinglin, including the people she brought, must have died.

Tsk, she’s pretty tough. Seeing Lu Ziming rushing towards the fighting man and woman without a second thought, Xu Rubing had no choice but to pull out her compound bow, nock an arrow, and aim at the battlefield of the other two women, grumbling under her breath.

Although Lu Ziming, even with amnesia, would still step forward for Yao Jinglin’s safety, this wasn’t part of Xu Rubing’s plan, but she wouldn’t give up easily. When Lu Ziming was still normal, she dared to deliberately flirt with Lu Ziming in front of Yao Jinglin. Now that she had amnesia and was temporarily more familiar with her, she still had a chance of winning before the two of them confessed their feelings for each other. Besides…

Yao Jinglin, she was just an ordinary person. And she stood on the opposite side of them, the mutants, representing the government.

Mutants and ordinary people in love? What if the mutant went crazy one day? The ordinary person would be “food” delivered to their mouth.

Then, what would unfold would be: I love you, so I eat you?

This plot was enough to make several seasons of a mainland version of “Twilight” or “Hannibal,” or even several episodes of “Legal Report.”

— Former lovers become food for desire, why? Let’s see “Legal Report”… a “eatable” love.

Tch, interesting. Because of a series of bizarre thoughts in her head, Xu Rubing didn’t feel much regret for the arrow she missed. Instead, she tilted her head, licked her lips, and smiled.

She was laughing at Yao Jinglin’s ordinariness, laughing at herself and Lu Ziming for being the same kind of people, and laughing at… herself for already figuring out the white-clothed woman’s reaction speed. So, with the next arrow, as long as she predicted correctly and found a way to suddenly accelerate the arrow, she would successfully claim the woman’s life.

On the other side, Ling Yuan, who was successfully ambushed by Lu Ziming, was dazed the moment his head made intimate contact and collided with the ground. His brain was still buzzing even after he was kicked away.

Half of the skin on his face was destroyed due to the friction with the ground, a bloody mess. However, the pain greatly shortened the time he was in a daze due to the concussion.

He supported himself with his hands and staggered to his feet. When he stood up, he subconsciously shook his head, trying to drive out the dizziness in his brain. The blood seeping from the wound on his face happened to wash away most of the sand and dust particles embedded in the wound. His head had just cleared up a little when he was completely driven mad by the burning pain on his face.

“Kill you, kill you, kill you!!!” Ling Yuan’s hand was clenched into a fist around his injured face, veins popping. His entire palm was spasming as he gripped at the air, but there was nowhere to start. So, he vented all his resentment on the person who had just ambushed him. He gritted his teeth, repeating the words with hatred. Then, he turned around to find the shameless sneak attacker.

“Wait here.” Seeing Ling Yuan getting up from the ground, Lu Ziming couldn’t bother explaining anything to Yao Jinglin. She quickly pulled her up, settled her aside, and stared coldly at Ling Yuan’s movements, without turning her head to give instructions.

“… Okay.” Yao Jinglin’s face blushed with pink, her eyes shining as she looked at Lu Ziming’s back, answering reassuringly.

No matter how dangerous the situation, it seemed that as long as she was there, she could quickly put her mind at ease. It was the same now. Although Lu Ziming didn’t promise anything or confidently say “Leave it to me,” she just had a sense of security. Her woman’s intuition told her that as long as she trusted Lu Ziming, all problems would be solved. So, she really did just that.
