Chapter Index

    “Hush. We can avoid them by going around this way.” Jiang Xiao and Qian Junchen, who had barely escaped the encirclement of a large group of zombies at the cost of others’ sacrifices, finally landed on the roof of another building. After looking at the surroundings, they decided to go out from the back of this building and bypass the alley behind it to escape the zombies.

    However, after hearing Jiang Xiao’s words, Qian Junchen didn’t say anything. When Jiang Xiao turned to look at him, he found that he was squatting on the ground on the side where they had jumped over, looking for something.

    “Aren’t you leaving? What are you doing?”

    “…I clearly shot that woman just now. Why is there no blood…” Qian Junchen was very puzzled. He stood up and looked around, but there were still no traces. The two women seemed to have evaporated on the roof and disappeared.

    “Stop looking! Saving our lives is the priority. If we wait any longer, those useless guys won’t be able to hold back the main zombie horde, and you and I will both die here!!” Jiang Xiao saw the bloody mess inside the window on the fifth floor across the street, and he had no leisure to look for any women here. He quickly waved his hand to call Qian Junchen behind him to follow him, and he took the lead to walk down from the roof of this building.

    Actually, the fastest way to escape is of course to run by yourself and not care about anyone else, but what is erupting now is not something else, but a large-scale and complex zombie riot, so Jiang Xiao was afraid that if he was left alone, he wouldn’t even have someone to use as a temporary meat shield, so he could only call Qian Junchen, whom he originally looked down on, to run together. In his mind, he was calculating that in a moment of crisis, he would rather his friend die than himself.

    Unlike Jiang Xiao, who was busy escaping, Qian Junchen’s attention was always on the two missing women. He always felt that this matter had to be seen alive or dead, but at this time, not even a strand of their hair could be found. He always felt like there was something uncomfortable in his heart that he couldn’t shake off. So even though he hesitated and followed Jiang Xiao’s urging, he still kept a distance from Jiang Xiao, who was leading the way.

    After calling him to leave, Jiang Xiao didn’t delay any further and went straight to the door connecting the roof to the fire escape. He opened the door and headed straight for the platform leading downstairs. The door slowly closed behind him. After suddenly entering the dark environment of the stairwell from the bright outdoor area, Jiang Xiao immediately stopped his forward steps and cautiously moved two steps to the side, intending to grab the handrail of the stairs.

    But unexpectedly, before his hand could touch the edge of the handrail, he was kicked in the lower back by a strong force from behind. Because he was still holding the compound bow in his hand, he didn’t even have time to reach out to protect himself forward. The whole person was kicked away by that huge force and rolled downstairs like a ball. It wasn’t until he had rolled past the three-section turning stairs that he stopped. However, during this process, because of the constant collision with the sharp corners of the stairs and the walls at the turns, there was no good place on his body. Especially the last time that caused him to stop, because his entire body was upside down with his head facing down, when he finally pressed down, the weight of his entire body plus the gravitational acceleration of falling were all superimposed on his fragile cervical spine. With a “crack,” his bones were completely shattered. Even the sharp bone fragments that were crushed at his Adam’s apple pierced through the outer layer of skin and stuck out, and blood flowed out, flowing down Jiang Xiao’s neck and soaking the hair in contact with the ground, where it formed a small pool.

    If it was just an accidental fall down the stairs, of course it wouldn’t cause such serious consequences. At most, it would be a broken arm or leg, or sprained wrist or ankle, or other “minor injuries.”

    The culprit that caused the current situation, of course, was the miraculous kick in Jiang Xiao’s back.

    And the owner of that kick, as you can guess, was naturally He Linglong, one of the two women that Qian Junchen couldn’t find just now.

    Originally, Jiang Juncheng’s intention was to leave here quickly and find a route with fewer zombies to meet up with the others. After all, she had seen how dangerous the situation was just now. Although she also hated the men led by Jiang Xiao, so much so that she couldn’t wait to deal with them herself, but because Jiang Xiao and Qian Junchen were both good at using compound bows, which were powerful long-range weapons, and now she was with He Linglong and could only be her burden, and the other side had two tricky guys, given this difference in martial power, now was not a good time for her to take revenge, so leaving now was the best choice.

    But He Linglong just pulled her to hide and whispered in her ear to reassure her. Those people had just tried to kill them both. It is said that you should not have the heart to harm others, but since the other party has already bullied her, if she acts like a coward again, then that is not He Linglong’s character.

    Especially, the main bullying was not her, but her newly acquired “girlfriend” – Jiang Juncheng!

    Bullying her is negotiable, but bullying her girlfriend, ha, she won’t let them die without appeasing the hatred in her heart.
