I Pursued My Scummy Ex’s White Moonlight – Chapter 103

Staying in this kind of weird place for a long time gives one the illusion of already being in some creature’s abdomen; no matter how you look at them, these soft walls look like a person’s stomach.

As far as the eye could see, small hillocks were arranged densely packed. Not far ahead, several corpses were lying there. The three of them quickly walked over and discovered that the corpses had been headshot by bullets. The wounds were overflowing with fresh blood, their young faces had turned white, and their staring eyes were completely drowned in fear.

Su Wenwen pressed her lips, her mood was not very good, because these few people who had died were all team members who had once trained with her at the camp.

“This way…” Luo Xi shouted.

Su Wenwen didn’t have time to compose herself and hurriedly followed behind Luo Xi. Shen Ming also followed closely.

After walking for more than ten meters, they saw a water curtain floating in mid-air at the corner. Sisi and Lin Wan were inside the water curtain, but Lin Wan seemed to be injured. Her neck was covered in blood, which had dyed half of her white cold-proof suit red. Sisi was lying in Lin Wan’s arms, crying continuously.

Seeing this, Shen Ming charged toward the water curtain without a second thought, but was timely pulled back by Su Wenwen and Luo Xi, who said, “There’s something in the water.”

Upon closer inspection, the water curtain was filled with densely packed tadpoles. Of course, these were not ordinary tadpoles; they were blood-red, looking more like some unknown species of zombie that had decomposed into countless pieces of minced meat.

Shen Ming said anxiously, “What do we do? Xiao Wan has lost so much blood. Even with medicine, she can’t hold on for much longer.”

Just like Doctor Liu, even without turning into a zombie, he still couldn’t withstand the excessive blood loss and died. However, looking at Lin Wan’s injuries, they shouldn’t be as severe as Doctor Liu’s. The bleeding at this moment seemed to have already stopped.

“I’ll do it.”

The iron awl in Su Wenwen’s hand became crimson. The extremely high temperature produced a huge amount of mist the instant it touched the water curtain, steaming the surroundings and causing the temperature to climb. The tadpoles inside the water curtain continuously twisted their bodies, seeming to be in extreme pain, and after a short while, they disappeared along with the steam.

Shen Ming hurriedly ran over to check Lin Wan’s injuries. Sisi seemed to be lost in some kind of emotion, still crying.

Su Wenwen squatted down beside Sisi and patted her head. Only then did Sisi come back to her senses, and then she threw herself into her arms, saying between sobs, “It’s Sisi’s fault, I harmed Jiejie.”

“Don’t cry, your jiejie is living perfectly healthily. If you keep crying, she’ll really have her one life cried out alas.”

When Sisi heard this, she immediately stopped crying. She glanced cautiously at Lin Wan and asked, “Then… then can Wenwen-jiejie save Jiejie?”

“I’ll do my best.”

Su Wenwen put down her spatial backpack, took out the medicine, and injected it into Lin Wan’s body. Afterward, she took out a medical kit and checked Lin Wan’s wound.

Fortunately, the bite mark was not deep. She must have struggled free in time and held on until she got here before fainting, which also saved the need for temporary anesthesia.

Su Wenwen first disinfected the wound and cleaned the dirty blood around it, then applied medicine and bandaged it. The process was relatively slow; after all, it was an injury to the neck, so she had to be gentle.

During the wait, Luo Xi asked Sisi for the specific details and only then learned that when the team ran here, many tadpoles had sprayed out from the small holes in the hillocks. If a living person touched them, they would drill into their skin, causing them to have hallucinations. They not only killed their teammates but were also ultimately gnawed to death by the tadpoles while hallucinating.

Everyone panicked and wanted to get far away from the hillocks, but they didn’t expect that more and more hillocks would start spraying. Father Lin and Mother Lin knocked Sisi down while escaping and didn’t even help her up.

Lin Wan held Sisi in her arms. Because the scene was extremely chaotic and the lights were shaking everywhere, it was impossible to see clearly who was who, which led to her being bitten by a zombie from behind.

She struggled free in time and ran with Sisi to a corner with fewer people. Due to excessive blood loss, she quickly fainted. Coincidentally, after she fell, the hillock beside her erupted again.

It was probably because Sisi saw Lin Wan looking like she was about to die that her special ability also erupted, creating a water curtain that trapped all the sprayed-out tadpoles inside.

“Truly human dregs.” Su Wenwen cursed Father Lin and Mother Lin under her breath and finished the bandaging. “Shen Ming, you carry Lin Wan on your back. I will hold Sisi. We have to leave this place first.”

“Good.”

Luo Xi led the way in front.

With Luo Xi around, there was no need to worry about the hillocks. As soon as a hillock sprayed out tadpoles, they were immediately strangled by her mental power.

The path was unimpeded, and they soon caught up with some of the personnel who had fallen behind. When they saw Su Wenwen and Luo Xi, it was as if they had found their main heart bone¹, and a bit more hope was born in their eyes.

Afterward, based on the intelligence provided by the team members, Su Wenwen and Luo Xi led the group and found the remaining personnel who had fallen behind.

Su Wenwen was happy in her heart to see so many people alive, but before she could show a smile, someone in the group raised a gun and strafed their companion beside them.

“Rat-a-tat…” The gunfire rang out for a few seconds before it was controlled by Luo Xi’s mental power, but it had already killed several people.

Those few people turned into zombies on the spot, grabbing and biting the people beside them. The scene was almost uncontrollable until Su Wenwen hardened her heart and beheaded the infected, which finally allowed everyone to calm down.

Su Wenwen walked to Luo Xi’s side.

The person who had gone mad looked no different from a normal person on the outside. Only in their eyes could one sometimes see tadpoles swimming.

“There are just too many tadpoles that have drilled into his body. He’s beyond saving.” After Luo Xi finished speaking, she used her mental power to snap his neck.

Su Wenwen stared blankly at the twisted corpse, not expecting that so many people would have died after she had only been away from the group for half an hour.

Before she could sort out her heavy mood, she heard the calls for help from Father Lin and Mother Lin coming from not far away.

Sisi, who was in her arms, blinked her eyes. She was a child after all and didn’t hold a grudge. She said, “It’s Papa and Mama, Wenwen-jiejie, quickly go over there and look.”

“Okay, then Jiejie will go take a look. But Sisi has to stay here and wait for Jiejie. If you encounter danger, Sisi must use her special ability to protect Xiao Wan-jiejie, okay?”

“Of course, Sisi will definitely protect Jiejie.”

Su Wenwen smiled, patted Sisi’s head, and didn’t say anything bad about Father Lin and Mother Lin to her. She then put Sisi down and handed her over to Shen Ming to look after.

Luo Xi was still brooding over the fact that Su Wenwen had just used herself as bait, so she took Su Wenwen’s hand and said, “I’ll go with you.”

“Good.”

The two of them ran in the direction of the sound. Even though a thin layer of sweat seeped from their palms, their tightly clasped hands did not loosen.

When they arrived, Father Lin and Mother Lin were sitting paralyzed on the ground, looking in one direction. The beam of the flashlight followed their gaze and shone on what was unexpectedly a group of faceless zombies. And behind the faceless zombies, there was a huge meatball, like the pistil of a flower, with countless branches spreading from its base and clinging to all the surrounding surfaces.

There seemed to be something inside the pistil, like a belly stretched unevenly. Afterward, a small opening was squeezed open in the center of the pistil, and a small head emerged from inside. It wriggled outward little by little, revealing a face with no facial features, followed by its body. Just like a pregnant woman giving birth, it was like a child landing with a cry².

Su Wenwen was stunned. According to the mother nest’s production speed, it was estimated that a zombie tide could be produced in less than two months. She tightened her grip on the iron awl in her hand, hesitating over whether to destroy the mother nest now or to retreat with Father Lin and Mother Lin first.

“Ah… Give me back my son.” Father Lin and Mother Lin appeared crazed, charging recklessly into the crowd of faceless zombies, running toward their child who had already been more than half-eaten.

The faceless zombies smelled the aura of living people and flashed to the side of Father Lin and Mother Lin at an extremely fast speed, but they crashed into their own companions, instantly falling into a chaotic mess, like a used-up road³ that couldn’t be cleared for a moment.

Luo Xi dragged Father Lin and Mother Lin back, but the two of them kept struggling, saying they wanted to find their son. They were acting crazed, their faces covered in tears and snot.

Still unable to see reality at a time like this, Su Wenwen really couldn’t hold back the anger in her heart and swung her hand, giving the two of them a slap. “If it weren’t for Sisi, we couldn’t be bothered to save you.”

“Why didn’t you come earlier?” Father Lin and Mother Lin, with strength from who knows where, struggled free from Luo Xi’s restraint, turned around, and grabbed Su Wenwen’s collar to question her.

Before Su Wenwen could answer, the crowd of faceless zombies was already charging over. She hurriedly slapped their hands away, and holding the iron awl, she leaped forcefully into the air, shouting, “Luo Xi, send me over.”

Luo Xi instantly understood her meaning and used her mental power to carry Su Wenwen toward the pistil. The faceless zombies smelled a living person approaching the pistil and turned around one after another to bite at Su Wenwen from behind, leaping up like fleas.

With Luo Xi there, Su Wenwen had a support point in mid-air, while the faceless zombies did not. The iron awl in her hand swung again and again, accurately piercing into the zombies’ brains. The more she killed, the more there were, and corpses and the foul stench of rot were everywhere.

Her attribute points also surged.

It’s unknown whether the pistil sensed the danger, but the rhizomes originally stuck to the wall surface began to wriggle, and the distant hillocks simultaneously sprayed out tadpoles, all of them converging toward the pistil.

But it was obviously a bit too late. Su Wenwen had already landed beside the pistil. Looking at the still-wriggling, producing pistil, she unhesitatingly plunged the iron awl into it.

The scalding temperature instantly cooked the pistil. The outer wall, originally the color of blood, turned into fragrant, milky-white meat. The rhizomes connected to the pistil were also cooked, and it spread continuously, including the inner walls, the small hillocks, and the meatballs hanging from the ceiling—all of it became milky-white cooked meat.

Sensing that the mother nest had died, the faceless zombies cried out in grief. Afterward, their bodies surged in size. Even the tadpoles, which were difficult to see with the naked eye, clapped into the size of a fingernail cover⁴.

Seeing this, Luo Xi hurriedly used her mental power to pull Su Wenwen back. Just as she was pulling her and running outward, Father Lin and Mother Lin, who had been motionless, suddenly went crazy and pounced on the two unprepared people, knocking them down.

Although Su Wenwen’s body was very strong, her mind also felt tired after being highly concentrated for a long time. What’s more, in her heart, she didn’t really want to save Father Lin and Mother Lin. She never expected to be counter-bitten one bite⁵ by the two of them in the end.

She was just about to get angry and scold them when she unintentionally glimpsed a tadpole flash past in Father Lin’s eye. Her heart was slightly startled. Seeing him open his mouth to bite Luo Xi’s neck, she didn’t even think before extending her own arm under his mouth, attempting to protect Luo Xi.

“Puchi!”⁶

The flesh and blood on her arm was torn open, the pain causing cold sweat to stream down Su Wenwen’s face. Next, Mother Lin bit toward her cheek. She hurriedly raised her other hand to block, and a piece of flesh was forcefully bitten off the back of her hand as well.
