I Pursued My Scummy Ex’s White Moonlight – Chapter 102

When Su Wenwen decided to use herself to lure Doctor Liu, she actually did not have much time to consider the pros and cons. When the zombie bit her face apart, the pain of bone and flesh being forcefully separated made her recall all the things from before her death.

It was just that the initial feeling of fear was gone; her only worry was whether, after Luo Xi found out, she would be able to coax the person back into a good mood.

Su Wenwen glanced at Luo Xi’s expression. Although it had relaxed a lot, it was more like the tranquility before a violent storm, which always made her heart a few parts more uncertain.

“Ugh…” Doctor Liu couldn’t help but make a sound because his legs were in too much pain.

Luo Xi, whose face had originally softened, shifted his icy gaze back to him: “If you don’t want more pain, then first answer a question for me.”

“Why should I answer?” Doctor Liu’s eyes were open. Though the pain had made his lips turn white, he still spoke stubbornly, “According to my current rate of bleeding, I can probably die before the corpse transformation.”

Seeing his appearance of a dead pig not fearing boiling water¹, Su Wenwen sighed softly: “Why must it be like this, you’re about to die and you still want to help Luo Tianyang?”

Doctor Liu saw that Su Wenwen’s expression held no mockery, her gaze was full of pity. As a doctor, it had always been him who pitied patients; he also didn’t know since when his heart of pity had disappeared.

It was probably from when he started to become without heart and without lungs² for the sake of firewood, rice, oil, and salt³, for his future and a better life.

He said with a sense of release: “So what, I have no family or friends, and now I’m going to die sooner or later, why should I waste my energy telling you all so much?”

Su Wenwen took a tube of medicine from her backpack, dangled it in front of him, and said: “You won’t necessarily die, it just depends on whether you are willing to talk.”

Doctor Liu’s eyes widened as he sized up Su Wenwen’s backpack. It was a mountaineering bag that wasn’t particularly large, how could it hold so many medicines? And he remembered, Su Wenwen had also put the iron awl in the backpack, wasn’t she afraid of breaking the medicine tubes?

As long as one could live, even if crippled, who would want to die? Doctor Liu’s expression changed several times. Because of the excessive blood loss, he felt a little dizzy and knew he couldn’t hold on for much longer.

But…

“The medicine hasn’t been tested on people, it might not be useful,” Doctor Liu gave a bitter smile.

Su Wenwen saw Luo Xi frowning, seemingly having no patience to listen to Doctor Liu’s nonsense anymore. Moreover, Lin Wan and the others had already run into the underground garage, and it was unknown what the situation was now.

She simply squatted down, injected the medicine into Doctor Liu’s body, and said under his astonished gaze: “Forget it, we don’t have that much time to wait for you to talk. Whether the medicine is useful will depend on your good fortune.”

Su Wenwen stood up, pulled Luo Xi’s wrist, intending to leave Doctor Liu here to be born of itself and die of itself⁴.

“Wait.” Doctor Liu didn’t want to stay alone in a place full of corpses, it was too gloomy and terrifying. Moreover, he was afraid that zombies would discover him and then he would be disemboweled alive. Too many similar and bloody scenes made him tremble with fear all over, “Whatever you want to know, I’ll tell you everything, but I beg you not to leave me here alone.”

Su Wenwen and Luo Xi exchanged a glance. They had originally planned to give up, but they didn’t expect Doctor Liu to choose to yield at this moment.

She put her hand into her pocket, nodded towards Luo Xi, and Luo Xi then turned and walked to Doctor Liu’s side, asking: “Tell me, how did my dad die?”

Doctor Liu was stunned: “I thought you were going to ask me what my mission was this time?”

“That’s not important.” Luo Xi noticed that Doctor Liu’s face was getting paler and paler, and his voice was too weak to come out, so he simply squatted down and got a little closer, “I know my dad’s death was suspicious, I want to know the specific process of his death.”

Doctor Liu’s eyes were a bit unfocused, as if he was reminiscing, and also as if it foretold that his vital signs were getting weaker and weaker: “The butler swapped the medicine… he fainted… I sent everyone away and watched him breathe his last bit by bit, I can’t forget his eyes staring fixedly at me… I have nightmares every day, and my temper has become irritable, for this… my wife divorced me, but I didn’t dare to say anything, I was afraid… afraid he would retaliate against me…”

“Who is he.” Luo Xi’s hands clenched into fists, the blue veins on the back of his fair hands were clearly bulging.

“Luo Tianyang…”

Confirming she heard this name, Luo Xi subconsciously bit her lower lip tightly. Su Wenwen was afraid she would bite her lip badly, so she silently squatted down beside her and held her hand tightly.

Luo Xi took a deep breath: “My dad… was he in pain when he died?”

“Quite painful…”

Luo Xi’s father had woken up once after falling into a coma, but at that time, only Doctor Liu was looking after him, saying that he needed a quiet environment to give him emergency treatment.

Luo’s dad could only weakly reach out to Doctor Liu, trying to call for help, but Doctor Liu ignored him, watching with an indifferent gaze, so he was painfully tormented to death.

After saying these words, Doctor Liu also breathed his last. Luo Xi still bit her lower lip without letting go, her eye sockets turning red, clearly having endured her emotions to the limit.

Shen Ming, who had been silent on the side, suddenly sighed. He had also always felt deeply guilty for Luo’s father’s death. He had never contacted Luo Xi all these years, also because he didn’t know what to say, as if a single ‘sorry’ was too light. Just now after hearing Doctor Liu’s words, he finally understood that both he and Luo Xi were just tools used by Luo Tianyang. The stone pressing on his heart relaxed, but it was replaced by another surge of anger.

“This bastard, causing the Shen family and the Luo family to fight until both sides were defeated and injured⁵, what good does that do him?”

“What he wants is the entire Luo family.” Luo Xi bit her lip until it broke, the bright red blood dyeing her lips even more delicate and beautiful, “But now it’s the apocalypse, what he wants is probably not just the Luo family anymore.”

“What is he trying to do?” Shen Ming asked.

“Let’s not talk about this for now…” Su Wenwen interrupted their conversation, pointing at Doctor Liu, “The medicine is very effective, he didn’t undergo corpse transformation. We have to leave quickly, meet up with Lin Wan, and tell her this good news.”

Shen Ming and Luo Xi nodded.

The three of them followed the signs, running straight towards the stairs leading to the underground parking lot. As soon as they pushed open the double doors, they saw that the stairs were covered with strange dark red meridians. The dark yellow walls seemed to be the inner walls, the stairs were the throat, and the door was a big mouth, making people feel terrified upon seeing it.

Shen Ming quickly used a flashlight to shine down the stairs. The steps were all covered with fine blood vessels: “This… could this be the mother nest? Then will Xiao Wan be in danger?”

“Let’s go, let’s go down and see first.”

The three of them hardened their scalps⁶ and walked down. Their vision became darker and darker, and they could only see their surroundings by the swaying light of the flashlight. The ground under their feet was sticky, and when they stepped on the meridians, they could seem to feel the pulsation within them.

It was alive.

The three of them quickened their pace downwards, pushed open the door to the underground garage, and a thick, musty smell assaulted the nose and came. Immediately after, they saw chaotic meridians crawling all over the walls and pillars. The original concrete floor was also covered with a wet, soft inner wall, like the organs inside a human body.

The ceiling was also covered with the same soft inner wall as the ground, but there were some inverted meatballs, like countless pulsating hearts.

Such a bizarre scene could only be seen in sci-fi blockbusters, but the horror before their eyes could not be described in words. They only felt that every part of their bodies was filled with discomfort.

Seeing this, Shen Ming lost his voice and shouted: “Lin Wan, are you guys there?”

“Shut up,” Luo Xi scolded.

Shen Ming quickly fell silent, his eyes reflecting apology. He was really too worried about Lin Wan, to the point that he lost his square inch⁷.

Luo Xi didn’t say anything either, because if it were her who had lost Su Wenwen, she wouldn’t be any better off than Shen Ming.

She stepped in first. The rubber soles of her shoes stepped on the soft wall, it was wet and slippery, without any grip: “Be careful, it’s more slippery than an ice surface here.”

Because they were surrounded by such soft walls, they couldn’t see any signs, so the three of them could only carefully grope their way forward.

Su Wenwen felt that this place made it difficult to breathe, it was extremely uncomfortable. She wanted to sneeze but could only hold it in.

She looked up at the meatballs that looked like hearts. Some of the meatballs were hanging down to the ground, and the meridians connecting the meatballs were also pulsating. She didn’t dare to touch them. Opening her five senses also didn’t allow her to feel anything, so she could only bypass them as much as possible.

Shen Ming suddenly said: “The size of these meatballs is just right to accommodate a person. Do you think there might be people inside?”

“You’ve watched too many movies,” Luo Xi said.

Su Wenwen had been observing her surroundings. She saw that besides the meridians connecting the meatballs on the ceiling, there were also many irregular small holes. She was just thinking about what these small holes were for when she suddenly saw a small hole squirm. Her body involuntarily sounded an alarm, and she dodged to the side.

At this very moment, a tentacle shot out from the hole, and the sharp part of its tip slowly opened, missing Su Wenwen.

Cold sweat streamed down her back. She thought of Shen Ming’s words, and with a flick of the iron awl in her hand, she pierced a meat\ball. The not-yet-decomposed human body inside flowed out along with the liquid.

This person looked familiar.

It was a member of the small team.

Shen Ming and Luo Xi turned their heads. After seeing the corpse, they quickly turned around to pierce other meatballs, but the two human bodies that flowed out from inside were not alive.

And the degree of decomposition varied. Some were rotten to the bone, while others had only lost an eyeball.

Seeing this, Shen Ming’s face turned deathly pale.

Su Wenwen continuously searched with her five senses, but the range she could hear seemed to be affected, and she could only hear movements within a hundred meters.

The holes on the ceiling squirmed again, and there were a great number of them. Su Wenwen shouted: “Be careful.”

Then, densely packed tentacles extended from above, attacking the three of them separately.

Luo Xi, however, was not flustered and not hurried. After her spiritual power unfolded, the tentacles seemed to stagnate by her side, and then they were twisted and broken. Sticky black blood spurted from the broken ends.

Su Wenwen waved the iron awl, spinning and dancing with it. Sparks flew everywhere, like a large fire plate. As soon as the tentacles touched the fire plate, they were melted and severed.

The three of them fought while retreating, but the slippery ground made it very difficult to walk. More of their strength was left to their waists and lower bodies, sliding bit by bit.

Unknowingly, they arrived at another place. The tentacles were gone, but there were many hills on the ground, similar to those of an ant’s nest, with a small round hole at the top. It always felt as if countless small insects would crawl out from inside.

The three of them didn’t dare to delay and slowly walked forward along the edges of these hills.
