BC Chapter 107

This point was mostly guessed correctly by Lu Ziming. She was indeed able to move freely through the zombie horde due to the increased assimilation of the virus. It was also because of this that Xu Rubing was single-mindedly determined to devour her. After all, the further evolution of the zombie virus can only rely on the mutual devouring and fusion of viruses from the same source but of different species to stimulate new evolution. And Xu Rubing, who had already completed a minor evolution due to the accidental revenge operation, would certainly not let go of such an easy prey as Lu Ziming in front of her.

Judging from Lu Ziming’s serious appearance earlier, it could be guessed that she still retained the rationality of a normal person before the riot. And the more persistent, stubborn, and principled a person is, the more it can arouse Xu Rubing’s desire for destruction from the depths of her soul. Coincidentally, the virus she was infected with was of a lower level than her own. If she ate her, the risk of integrating the virus into her own body would be relatively small, and there would be no accidents. Therefore, Xu Rubing could not easily let Lu Ziming go.

Lu Ziming was naturally unaware that Xu Rubing, like a ghost, was following behind her. Her goal was also simple: to stay away from the survivor rescue team who might be coming with weapons again. Since the other party would still sneak into the city from that direction, she would leave in the opposite direction. This way, she could avoid meeting those people. As long as she did not expose her identity and did not cause unnecessary trouble, she could “die” as a normal person in this world, and not become a “residual poison” that needed to be purged after the chaos ended.

Just as Lu Ziming cautiously approached the city center, she unknowingly entered the sight of two people. These two people, wearing relatively clean clothes, were standing on the top floor of a seven-story medium-sized shopping mall. The woman was holding a small night-vision telescope, and the man was wearing sunglasses. Both of them were looking in the direction where Lu Ziming appeared.

“Finally,” the man said in a low, hoarse voice, a cold light flashing in his only remaining eye behind his sunglasses.

“Brother, are you sure that the woman below is the same as you?” The long-haired woman, with a delicate face, was constantly looking at Lu Ziming, who was cautiously moving forward like a thief, through the night-vision telescope, and asked a question.

The man just sneered, put his arm around the woman’s waist, and replied, “You don’t even believe your brother? How dare you leave that group of people with me in the first place?”

“You are my own brother. If I don’t believe you in this world, who else can I trust? Besides, if I hadn’t been unable to stand those bitches gossiping about us behind our backs, you wouldn’t have left in a fit of anger. I know best how good you are to me…” The woman’s body leaned against the man’s chest as if boneless, put down the telescope hanging on her body, and while speaking, put her slender hand around the man and naturally kissed him.

After a short, deep kiss, the man picked up the woman and carried her on his back, saying, “Just like before, you are responsible for attracting her attention, and I will find a way to get rid of her.”

“Okay.” The woman obediently put her arms around his neck on the man’s back. The figures of the two people seemed to blend into the night like a cloud of thick smoke in the blink of an eye, and they could no longer be seen.

…

Lu Ziming didn’t expect that she just wanted to escape from Qingshui City, but she had encountered so many troubles intermittently. Like the woman in front of her who was rushing straight towards her with a small group of zombies, she clearly didn’t provoke her, but she ran towards her as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw as soon as she saw her.

“…Save, save me!!” The woman who ran over seemed to be frightened. She took a few breaths before hiding behind Lu Ziming and shouting in a small voice. The slender hand holding Lu Ziming’s sleeve was also trembling.

Lu Ziming was also just focused on hurrying on her way. She didn’t react for a moment why she could just happen to encounter a woman besieged by zombies on a relatively dangerous street in the city center at this time. She didn’t dodge at the first moment, but was stunned and passively used by the woman as a shield in front of her. She subconsciously began to fight with the ordinary zombies rushing over.

Fortunately, there were no particularly difficult mutant zombies among those zombies, and the street she was on at this time was just a lane connecting the main streets. Some initial zombies that were stronger than ordinary people were not enough to threaten Lu Ziming at this time, so Lu Ziming, wielding her weapon, easily dealt with those guys without much effort.

When Lu Ziming saw that the danger was temporarily eliminated and turned back to look at the woman behind her, she saw that the other party had already collapsed on the ground in fright, trembling while hugging her body into a ball like a frightened rabbit.

“It’s okay now, can you still stand up?” Lu Ziming slowly approached the woman and asked in a lukewarm voice.

“I, my legs are weak, I’m afraid I need to rest for a while.” Tears hung on the woman’s cheeks, looking like she was about to cry. Her delicate face, coupled with this pitiful expression, if Lu Ziming were a man who was attracted to beauty or a woman with a little pity, she might be entangled by the sudden surge of sympathy and love.

“Oh, then you can rest here, it’s temporarily safe here.” But what kind of person is Lu Ziming? Don’t look at the fact that she had accidentally saved many people before and had taken care of Zhou Yuanyuan, that burden, for many days, but in her heart, she was still the selfish, socially awkward little office worker who only wanted to escape for her own life. Moreover, as time went on, many things that happened later also greatly changed her impression of Zhou Yuanyuan, but that was only towards Zhou Yuanyuan, who she had spent the most time with. When it came to other people, she didn’t have so much love and patience to be someone else’s savior or hero. After all, her own life was still hanging by a thread at any time. Therefore, she didn’t intend to continue to protect the other party, left a slightly ruthless sentence, and turned to leave.
