BC Chapter 106

Chapter 105

Lu Ziming benefited from her regular exercise habits before the virus outbreak, so her body quickly adapted to the virus’s modification, and her movements were naturally much faster than ordinary people. Therefore, before Xu Rubing’s face could get close, Lu Ziming quickly pinched her cheeks, stopping her absurd behavior.

“What are you doing, Lu Jiejie? Don’t you li-ike me?” Xu Rubing, with slurred speech and innocent eyes, asked knowingly and stubbornly.

“Sorry, not my thing. Can you not… hiss, are you crazy?” Before Lu Ziming could finish saying “annoy me,” Xu Rubing licked her finger with her wet little tongue, causing Lu Ziming to recoil as if electrocuted and scold with a frown.

“Well, that’s because I like you so much I’m going crazy,” Xu Rubing replied, unperturbed by the scolding, simply rubbing her cheeks with a carefree smile.

“Crazy,” Lu Ziming said, grabbing her cardboard and bag, too lazy to argue with her, and running to another corner of the room to find some peace.

Fortunately, Xu Rubing didn’t follow this time, but just watched Lu Ziming curl up in the corner and rest silently, with a smile in her eyes. Then the smile slowly disappeared, and she turned around and curled up an evil smile at the corner of her mouth in a direction no one could see, slowly licking her lips.

No hurry, she had already feasted before coming here, and the food she had set her sights on could not escape her grasp. With plenty of time, she could play with Lu Ziming slowly.

…

Yao Jinglin and the others had agreed to go out and look for more survivors at dawn. Naturally, after Yao Jinglin felt Lu Ziming’s obvious rejection of her, she didn’t push herself forward, so Lu Ziming and they didn’t have any more communication. Lu Ziming knew that her plan did not include building relationships with people in the organization, so after a little thought, she gave up the idea of ​​traveling with anyone in the convenience store. In her heart, she had already calculated that her next action would return to the original state of self-preservation. That was the most comfortable, and it would reduce a lot of unnecessary worries.

The space inside the store slowly fell silent, with only the increasingly steady breathing of a few people and the slight snoring of the boys rising and falling intermittently. The inside and outside of the room were rarely quiet, as if all the chaotic and dilapidated destruction had never happened.

Time passed slowly, but the calm did not last long. In the darkness, Lu Ziming, curled up in the corner, suddenly opened her eyes, and then got up gently, took her bag, and tiptoed out of the convenience store along the clean floor.

Since being infected with the virus, she had found that her eyesight had slowly become much better than before. Even in such darkness, she could still clearly distinguish the contours of everything. Although the door was simply sealed from the inside with ropes made of clothes and had an alarm to alert people, leaving was still very easy for Lu Ziming, after all, the crowd did not do these things to completely trap themselves.

In fact, zombies would not be attracted to the door if there were no particularly loud noises inside the room, so as long as everyone acted carefully, they would not have to worry about safety issues at all. The only fear was that sometimes they would be unlucky and bump into the zombies outside while moving around, just like Li Zihao.

Just after Lu Ziming left, another figure sat up in the darkness. After simply re-tying her ponytail, she also took her things and left, following behind Lu Ziming. After walking out the door, the moonlight illuminated the person’s face—it was Xu Rubing.

After putting her bag on her back, Xu Rubing twisted her stiff neck, looked back at the convenience store, and then turned on her phone to check. The power display in the upper right corner still had half the battery left. If she turned on the ringtone and threw it at the door of the convenience store, it would definitely be enough to attract a large number of zombies to keep the people inside busy.

But she looked up at the direction where Lu Ziming’s back disappeared, and then turned off her phone and put it in her pocket. Forget it, she still had to chase after Lu Ziming, and attracting those guys now would only delay her own affairs. She tugged at her clothes, glanced back disdainfully, and thought that they were lucky that if Lu Ziming wasn’t there, they would have died in her hands long ago.

…

Lu Ziming left smoothly. Along the way, she carefully avoided the scattered wandering zombies and cautiously checked her surroundings to ensure that no one was following her. Then she was surprised to find that since being infected with the virus, not only had her eyesight improved, but her various senses and physical abilities had also been greatly enhanced. At her current speed, ordinary people would not be able to keep up with her. So she gradually relaxed, because humans infected with the virus would have a certain ability that was very prominent, like Zhou Yuanyuan and her. Although they were both infected, Zhou Yuanyuan’s vision and perception were far superior to hers, but her physical strength was completely incomparable to her own.

So she guessed that Xu Rubing should also be a virus mutant with extraordinary vision and control, after all, she used her bow and arrow so skillfully.

But what she didn’t know was that Xu Rubing had been infected with the virus for a longer time than her, and the source of the virus she was exposed to at the time was also stronger than the mutated zombie that harmed Lu Ziming. Therefore, within a certain distance of her, it was very simple for Xu Rubing to follow her without being noticed.

As Lu Ziming got farther and farther away from the convenience store and headed towards the city center, the number of zombies on each street gradually increased, but strangely, the zombies no longer showed excessive sensitivity or attention to Lu Ziming’s scent or actions.

Lu Ziming guessed that it might be because her fusion with the virus had deepened a lot, so those zombies had begun to treat her as one of their own.
