BC Chapter 99

What do you mean? Lu Ziming was stunned for a moment, a little confused by Xu Rubing’s mysterious attitude. “Like you?” What does that mean? How are we alike?

Seeing that Lu Ziming was no longer in a hurry to run, Xu Rubing withdrew her hand that had been holding her head, lest others see it and misunderstand something.

Maintaining the posture of being close to her shoulder, she leaned closer to her ear and continued, “I saw the whole process of you fighting with those guys just now. Being able to deal with them for so long is not something ordinary people can do. If I’m not mistaken, you should also have wounds on your body from those guys, right?”

Hearing this, Lu Ziming couldn’t help but look stern. Although she felt that it wouldn’t matter much even if others saw her skills, so she didn’t deliberately hide them. But now the situation was different, and she finally understood how dangerous her situation might be in the future—the most difficult situation was that she and Zhou Yuanyuan had to not only deal with the staring zombies but also guard against potentially ill-intentioned normal humans.

And if she hadn’t had that dream today, she might still be foolishly running around, carelessly saving people. Although she had already decided to stay away from Zhou Yuanyuan and Jiang Juncheng in order not to hurt her friends, she had thrown her determination and identity behind her at those critical moments of life and death, thinking only of saving people first.

Now, hearing Xu Rubing mention this, Lu Ziming, whose nerves were particularly sensitive, excitedly raised her hand to cover Xu Rubing’s mouth, and nervously lowered her voice, “Who told you about me! Who exactly are you!”

According to Lu Ziming’s plan, although she had meddled in other people’s business to help Zhang Yan and Yao Jinglin’s groups, she didn’t intend to stay with them all the time, nor did she intend to tell them about herself. So, after her body recovered a bit and she had rested well, she would still choose to leave quietly by herself. In this case, maintaining silence was the most beneficial choice for Lu Ziming.

But Xu Rubing’s words had obviously completely broken Lu Ziming’s original plan, so she instantly became nervous.

“Mmm, mmm.” Xu Rubing, whose right to speak was restricted, rolled her eyes and pointed to Lu Ziming’s hand, feeling very helpless. She thought, if you want me to explain, you should let go and let me speak!

The nervous Lu Ziming then noticed that her hand was still blocking Xu Rubing’s mouth, and she couldn’t answer her at all. So she quickly let go.

“I didn’t know you before, how could I know about you? What I just said is actually this.” Xu Rubing answered Lu Ziming’s question in a low voice while raising her right hand. The top joint of her little finger was missing. But that place was not conspicuous, and if she hadn’t deliberately shown it to Lu Ziming, even if Lu Ziming had spent more time with her, she probably wouldn’t have noticed the wound.

The wound had already scabbed over, but Lu Ziming could still imagine how painful it was at the time.

“Don’t feel sorry for me, if it weren’t for the loss of this finger joint, I wouldn’t be able to become the same kind of person as you.” Xu Rubing’s face was nonchalant, as if she were telling someone else’s story. As she spoke, she smiled again: “Now I think everything is the best arrangement. Although I was injured, I have gradually adapted to the feeling of my hand from the time I recovered until now. From the perspective of archery skills, this not only has basically no impact on me, but also allows me to obtain keen sensory evolution. Although your movements were fast just now, I could clearly capture them in my eyes. I think it should be because the dynamic vision that originally belonged to humans has been affected. Although it is impossible to judge whether it is a good thing or a bad thing, excellent dynamic vision has indeed become my greatest aid in eliminating zombies in the current situation.”

“……” Lu Ziming, who had been listening all along, was still a little unable to adapt to Xu Rubing’s rapid speech and the focus of her words, but she quickly understood what the other party wanted to convey—not only was the other party like her, a mutant who had not been assimilated into a zombie after being bitten by a zombie, but she had also mastered a more powerful dynamic vision before her. Although she didn’t know how good her skills were, with the blessing of her special bow and arrow, her combat power was absolutely unquestionable. Compared with Lu Ziming, who didn’t even have a handy weapon, she was indeed a lucky one.

“……Why are you telling me this?” At this moment, Lu Ziming actually understood the hidden intention in Xu Rubing’s words, but she didn’t directly agree with her meaning. Instead, she threw the topic back to her again, wanting to see what else she could say.

In fact, even without Xu Rubing’s suggestion at this time, Lu Ziming had already made plans for the future. In short, she could no longer stay with people from organizations like Yao Jinglin’s, so she would soon find an opportunity to leave.

But since Xu Rubing chose to reveal her identity as a mutant at this time, she did not insist on leaving alone. She wanted to see Xu Rubing’s plan and also wanted to test whether this person was worthy of her trust or staying with her for a long time. After all, the appearance of mutant zombies meant that the outside world was actually a hundred times, or even a thousand times, more dangerous than ordinary people imagined. So having more people around could also provide more help and support.

The difference between Xu Rubing and Zhou Yuanyuan was that Lu Ziming did not have the same uncontrollable appetite when facing her as she did when facing Zhou Yuanyuan. Even though the two were so close at this time, Lu Ziming’s body did not show any strange reactions. So, if she had to choose someone to be Lu Ziming’s partner, then Xu Rubing would definitely be the more suitable one.

As for Yao Jinglin, who had fought alongside her before… in terms of skill and courage, she met the conditions of being a qualified partner for Lu Ziming, but…

After all, the two belonged to different camps. Even if Lu Ziming actually had a good impression of her, it was hard to say that one day the task of personally arresting Lu Ziming would not fall on her head. By then, it would be too late for Lu Ziming to talk about reality.

Therefore, from any point of view, Lu Ziming had no need to reject Xu Rubing’s suggestion. But she could never take the initiative in this matter. After all, she preferred to act alone most of the time, so throwing the topic back to Xu Rubing was giving her a chance to invite her.
