I Pursued My Scummy Ex’s White Moonlight – Chapter 90

As dusk descended, the dark clouds in the sky also loomed over. The empty surroundings had no cover, the temperature dropped sharply, and at some unknown time, a strong wind rose and it began to snow heavily.

The wolfdogs’ running speed dropped significantly. Even though they were cold, hungry, and tired, having undergone professional training, they still dragged their weary steps to pull the sleds.

Ahead, there were faint outlines of broken ships frozen on the ice. Luo Xi held a walkie-talkie and said to everyone, “We’ll rest ahead.”

The male and female team captains blew their whistles, and the wolfdogs methodically pulled the team to a stop under the broken ship.

The surroundings were dim as far as the eye could see, and it wasn’t certain if it was safe. Everyone brought the wolfdogs onto the ship to rest, leaving the sleds on the ice.

Su Wenwen stroked the wolfdog’s fur. It was panting heavily, its heart thumping, and it lay motionless on the deck, clearly exhausted.

She twisted open a bottle of water and poured it into a bowl for the wolfdog to drink. The wolfdog drank urgently. Seeing this, the other wolfdogs also gathered around. When Su Wenwen was about to pour more water, Wang Kelin quickly went up to stop her.

“Conserve the clean water. Just collect the snow on the ice, melt it, and give it to the dogs to drink.”

Su Wenwen nodded, put away the water, and went off the ship with everyone to collect snow. Due to the heavy snow over the past few days, a very thick layer had accumulated on the ice. Cupping the snow in her palms, she filled a large bowl in just a few scoops. After a small patch of snow was cleared away, the surface of the ice was revealed.

Her pupils contracted. She actually saw many fish frozen solid. Some fish had even been frozen while they were alive, still retaining their swimming posture, becoming living specimens.

It seems the ice in this area is quite thick, so I don’t need to worry about undersea zombies.

Everyone put the collected snow in a pot to heat. Dogs can’t eat things that are too hot, so as soon as the snow melted, it was given directly to them to drink.

The spatial ability user took out food ingredients, and the team members used portable stoves to start a fire and cook. The leftover food scraps were given to the wolfdogs.

After they had eaten their fill, everyone packed up their own bowls and chopsticks and handed them over to the spatial ability user. At night, they all huddled together, sleeping wrapped in a large blanket.

Su Wenwen and Luo Xi led a group to stand watch for the first half of the night. The ship was basically guarded on all sides. The two of them sat at the highest point on the ship’s roof, occasionally using infrared night-vision binoculars to observe the situation.

But the snow fell heavier and heavier, and visibility was very low. The extremely low temperature also made fingers and toes go numb. The wolfdogs also huddled together, relying on each other for warmth. Some people who were too cold simply leaned against the wolfdogs to doze.

Chen Zixuan huddled close to Wang Kelin. The two of them, setting aside their previous animosity, shared a blanket.

Before long, Su Wenwen was so cold she couldn’t stand it anymore. She stood up, planning to move around a bit. Who knew that as soon as she got up, she felt a sudden urge to urinate.

“What’s wrong?” Luo Xi asked, looking at her.

Su Wenwen’s face flushed with embarrassment. She just said she was going to the toilet and quickly ran into the ship’s cabin, happening to run into Xiao Luo, who had just come out from relieving himself.

Xiao Luo didn’t say anything, just pointed to another clean spot and walked away.

When Su Wenwen came out after relieving herself, Xiao Luo handed her a thermos, saying, “This damn ghost weather. It’s so cold everyone keeps having to squat the pit¹. Drink some hot water to warm yourself up. Don’t worry, I haven’t drunk from it, it’s clean.”

Su Wenwen was originally going to refuse, but after hearing the latter part of what Xiao Luo said, she felt a bit too embarrassed to decline. She took the thermos, thanked him, and returned to Luo Xi’s side.

Luo Xi’s gaze was fixed on the thermos. Su Wenwen smiled helplessly and asked, “Do you want a drink?”

At the word “drink,” under Su Wenwen’s stunned gaze, she saw Luo Xi smilingly take the thermos. This smile had a hint of domineering intent that brooked no refusal. Then, she tilted her head back, drinking slowly, bit by bit.

The steam lingering around the mouth of the cup drifted onto Luo Xi’s face like a light, transparent veil. The warm water moistened her pale lips, making them exceptionally rosy. In this snow-white world, they were particularly conspicuous and bewitching, tempting and hooking Su Wenwen’s gaze.

Although the two of them had done more intimate things more than once, every casual movement from Luo Xi would stir a palpitation in Su Wenwen’s heart, as if they were passionately in love every day, with the feeling never having faded.

Su Wenwen’s eyebrows raised slightly. She wanted to kiss Luo Xi, but instead, she heard the other say, “Sorry, I accidentally drank it all. Give me the thermos in your backpack, and I’ll go pour you another cup of hot water.”

This person… is really so petty sometimes. Helpless, Su Wenwen took the thermos out of her spatial backpack and handed it to Luo Xi.

The thermos was still the same rabbit-ear style she had always kept. When Luo Xi saw it, she said nostalgically, “I still remember the first time I saw you. You were as cute as this rabbit.”

“How do I resemble a rabbit?”

“Big eyes, white skin, obedient.” As Luo Xi spoke, she pointed to the top of Su Wenwen’s head. “You’re just missing a pair of long ears growing here.”

“If I’m a rabbit, then you’re the Big Gray Wolf,” Su Wenwen pouted.

“Wrong. I’m a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Otherwise, how could I make the rabbit willingly let me eat it?” Luo Xi’s eyes shone, sparkling and filled with affection.

Su Wenwen felt her cheeks burning and quickly urged Luo Xi to go get the hot water, thus breaking the ambiguous atmosphere.

The cold night wind was like a wolf’s howl, constantly “whimpering.” The cold was like knives cutting at one’s face. The snow was also piled thick and high. She patted her clothes with her palm, and it fell off with a xili huala² sound.

When it was their turn to rest, Su Wenwen and Luo Xi casually found a spot to close their eyes and nap. When the gray, hazy clouds began to brighten with a little white, the wolfdogs suddenly got up and began to circle restlessly, startling the drowsy crowd awake all at once.

“There are zombies.” Wang Kelin’s eyesight was extremely sharp. She was the first to spot the abnormality and turned to notify everyone to prepare to leave.

Everyone hurriedly packed up the blankets, got off the ship, and leashed the wolfdogs to the sleds. Immediately after, a whistle blew, and the wolfdogs began to pull with all their might.

Su Wenwen activated her five senses and saw bizarrely shaped zombies running towards the team at an extremely fast speed. There weren’t many of them, but their appearance was unlike any Su Wenwen had ever seen before.

Some zombies looked like rotten balls of flesh with only a pair of legs. Some resembled spiders, crawling on many hands and feet. There was also one enormous zombie surrounded by the others in the center, looking like their boss.

【It is a Zombie King. It protects itself by controlling smaller zombies, thereby hunting other Zombie Kings to evolve. This Zombie King’s current level is relatively low, but it is still not easy to deal with. Please be careful, Host.】

I didn’t expect the zombies outside to have evolved into Zombie Kings. And judging by the direction they’re running, their target must be the sea base.

Once these things make landfall, they’ll be really hard to deal with. What’s more, more than half of our forces have been dispatched, so we can’t just let them be.

Su Wenwen told Luo Xi her thoughts. After listening, Luo Xi unhesitatingly gave the order to eliminate the zombies.

The male and female team captains blew their whistles, and the wolfdogs stopped pulling the sleds. Wang Kelin took out a big sniper rifle, and the first bullet shot directly towards the Zombie King’s head.

The gunshot rang out, long and empty. The bullet hit the Zombie King between the eyebrows but seemed to meet a strong resistance and failed to penetrate. Its head was knocked back as if by a heavy punch, its neck bending backward at a bizarre ninety-degree angle. Then its heavy body tilted back, falling and rolling across the ice for some distance before it sat up again.

“Roar!” With an angry roar, the balls of flesh beside the Zombie King suddenly burst into a run, their speed several times faster than before, leaving deep footprints in the snow.

Wang Kelin ordered everyone to fire at the ice in front of them. Bullets flew continuously, but the ice was thicker than expected. They only saw snow spray up, but no cracks appeared.

Seeing the meatball zombie getting closer, Xiao Luo, in a moment of desperation, bombarded the ice with his pulse handgun. A single shot, as if a landmine had been stepped on, sent a tall pillar of snow blasting into the air. Then, a “kacha” sound of cracking spread continuously and without end.

The meatball zombie stepped onto a crack, and its heavy body sank into it, quickly being swallowed up. But the sound of cracking was still spreading. At that moment, Luo Xi shouted, “Run!”

The whistle blew again, and the wolfdogs quickly pulled the sleds. Just then, the ice began to vibrate. A huge impact erupted from under the sea, blasting up enormous waves. The completely shattered ice was also sprayed high into the air, then came smashing down inch by inch.

Chen Zixuan was dumbstruck. “Meatball bombs?”

No one answered her, because two more meatball zombies were running towards them. Wang Kelin ordered everyone to scatter, and the two meatball zombies also split up in pursuit.

Then, the balls of flesh began to squirm, as if something was about to burst out from within. But Luo Xi gave the zombies no chance, using her psychic power to drag both meatball zombies to the crack in the ice and throw them in.

In the blink of an eye, two more pillars of water blasted up into the sky. The originally thick ice could no longer bear the weight and cracked open in one place after another. Under the pressure of the water, the ice sheets tilted up like houses in dense rows³, uneven in height.

A sled crashed into the edge of a shattered ice floe. A wolfdog let out an “aowu” sound as it was pulled hard by the reins, collapsing to the ground, unable to get up. The two people on the sled were also thrown off by the impact. Just as they were about to land on their heads and have them split open⁴, Luo Xi fortunately used her psychic power in time to turn them around, making them land on their buttocks instead.

But the two of them still fell hard and couldn’t get up for a moment. What was worse, the surrounding ice had completely broken apart, isolating the pair on a helpless piece of ice. The sled also slid into the sea, dragging the four wolfdogs down with it. They couldn’t even let out a whimper.

Wang Kelin cursed angrily, “Damn it, save them!”

The words had barely left her mouth when Chen Zixuan, who was behind her, suddenly soared into the air. With a light and easy posture like a butterfly, she landed beside the two people, grabbed them by the back of their collars, and flew back up into the sky with them.

But because the two were too heavy, Chen Zixuan couldn’t fly for long. A moment later, she began to sway in the air and fall. Those two were just ordinary people. Although they had undergone special training, flying in the sky without any safety equipment, they were bound to be afraid. The color drained from their faces, leaving them as white as snow.

Without a second thought, Wang Kelin pulled the reins. The wolfdogs immediately turned and ran in Chen Zixuan’s direction. But on that path, some of the ice had already sunk into the sea, and some cracks were nearly half a meter wide.

But Wang Kelin showed no fear. Her gaze was fixed on Chen Zixuan, who was about to fall from the sky. Just as the wolfdogs were about to pull the sled to the edge of a crack, Wang Kelin pulled the reins in time, executing a wide, drifting turn, perfectly catching the two people dropped by Chen Zixuan.

Wang Kelin let out a muffled grunt.

When the two people fell, they hit her in the face. The bridge of her nose was sore and painful. Even though she was tough and could endure the pain, physiological tears still welled up in her eyes.
