I Pursued My Scummy Ex’s White Moonlight – Chapter 94

Once Su Wenwen’s side was ready, they immediately set out for the scientific research institute where Lin Wan was. That place was located in a military academy, about thirty kilometers away from the port.

Luo Xi used her mental power to lock onto every person in the team, pulling everyone to slide across the snow. The speed was only a little slower than driving a car. If things went smoothly, they would be able to reach the destination tonight.

According to the existing information, the first layer of defense at the military academy’s main gate had already been breached by zombies. It was now surrounded by zombies, making the rescue difficulty extremely high. Every minute of delay meant another degree of danger for Lin Wan.

At the same time, inside the scientific research building, besides Lin Wan and the other researchers, many ordinary people had also been taken in.

Even if they rescued the people, how to evacuate with the research items and the numerous survivors was also a difficult problem.

Su Wenwen was thinking with her eyes lowered, looking a bit distracted, when she was knocked on her cold-proof helmet by Luo Xi’s hand.

“What are you thinking about?”

“I was just thinking about how to safely evacuate so many people after we rescue them.” After all, they had to race against time, so it was never wrong to think of a plan in advance.

Hearing this, Luo Xi faced the biting wind and snow, her voice seeming empty and desolate: “Actually… my mom didn’t arrange for any space ability users in the selected list. She just doesn’t plan for us to fight a protracted war.”

“What do you mean?” Su Wenwen didn’t understand.

“For this mission, we only need to protect Lin Wan.” Luo Xi’s voice was scattered a bit by the wind and snow.

But Su Wenwen’s hearing was good, and she heard it all. Didn’t this sentence mean that the lives and deaths of others were not important, and they were only to protect Lin Wan alone!

Given Ji Qingshuang’s character, making such a decision probably required great determination. For one, supplies were limited; fighting a protracted war would mean the team needed to be allocated more supplies. For two, personnel were limited. For three, the medicine in Lin Wan’s hands was truly too important, so much so that it made Ji Qingshuang make such a cruel decision.

“Will you be disappointed in her?”

Su Wenwen shook her head. She was in no position to judge whether Ji Qingshuang was right or wrong. Anyway, if it were her, it would be impossible to do better.

Luo Xi knocked on Su Wenwen’s cold-proof helmet again and said: “I believe that she is also very conflicted inside. That’s why she gave this mission to you and me. On the premise of protecting Lin Wan, we must save as many survivors as possible.”

Su Wenwen’s eyes and brows curved, and her mood also improved quite a bit. The two of them continued discussing how to carry out the rescue based on the topic.

The streets that were originally filled with blood were now covered by a stretch of pure white snow, looking as clean as new, as if a white bedsheet had been used to cover all the filth.

The team of several dozen people slid across the snow, passing one street after another. The entire city was terrifyingly silent; not a single zombie could be seen.

The shops on the street also seemed to be influenced by this world of snow. At first glance, they were either gray or white, a cold and cheerless color palette that contained not a trace of the warmth of life.

After sliding for about two hours, Luo Xi’s mental power consumption was a bit high, so the team stopped by the side of the street to rest.

The male team and female team led people to stand guard, while Luo Xi held a crystal core and sat casually on the roadside steps to recover her ability.

Su Wenwen stood guard by Luo Xi’s side.

Looking around at the empty buildings, the “wuwu” sound of the wind came from the dilapidated windows. Even if there were still survivors alive now, it was estimated that they would have difficulty resisting such a cold winter.

Pa.

There seemed to be a sound from inside a shop. The male team raised a hand, signaling several team members to enter the shop to check, while the rest stayed outside.

Su Wenwen hurriedly spoke up to stop them, then opened her five senses, concentrating all her energy on that shop.

The board under her feet made it inconvenient for her to walk, and she waddled toward the storefront like a penguin.

A huge figure appeared before her eyes. Su Wenwen had never seen such a fat zombie; it was even fatter than the fat zombies she had seen before.

Its bulging flesh was covered with red spiderweb-like veins, and it didn’t have a single strand of hair. Its appearance was like that of a newborn baby, with a chubby face and limbs like lotus roots.

But it was not cute at all.

At this moment, it was biting the half-body of a zombie. The hard bones were like crisp crackers under its mouth, and the rotten pieces of flesh were like sauce, smearing its mouth with a sticky mess.

It’s actually a Zombie King?

Cold sweat dripped down Su Wenwen’s back. She didn’t expect Zombie Kings to be just like a rotten street¹. How could they be seen everywhere? She quickly made hand signals to the team members behind her, indicating for the team to leave and evacuate.

Everyone retreated back, little by little.

Su Wenwen hurriedly went to Luo Xi’s side to explain the situation. She knew Luo Xi’s ability hadn’t recovered yet, but they had to leave first now.

She had stayed at the sea base for several months and no longer knew how strong the zombies on land really were. To be on the safe side, it was better to find a safe place to rest.

That Zombie King did not discover them. Luo Xi quietly used her mental power to pull everyone onto the street and continue sliding, slowly moving away from that shop.

Before Su Wenwen had a chance to breathe a sigh of relief, that baby-like Zombie King suddenly let out a cry. Its clumsy body rolled and got stuck in the doorframe, unable to move, and its crying grew louder and louder.

In a short while, nearby zombies roared in response. The sound came from above. Su Wenwen looked up and saw two zombies leap down from the rooftop.

She shouted loudly: “Be careful.”

Immediately after, the zombies smashed down into the center of the team. A large area of the white snow on the ground caved in. One team member was directly stepped into the snow and crushed into meat paste.

Seeing his team member die, Xiao Luo roared in anger, raised his pulse handgun and fired two consecutive shots at the two zombies.

The zombies were hit by the shockwave and their bodies flew backward, and the already tattered clothes they were wearing were also completely blasted to smithereens.

The two zombies were smashed into a building. Rubble fell, kicking up dust. Xiao Luo fired a few more shots, hitting the wall. The swaying pillars and walls collapsed, and the entire building consequently emitted a “gezhi” sound.

Luo Xi hurriedly used her mental power to pull everyone away on their slides. Before long, the originally tall and sturdy building tilted toward the street, declaring the end of its history at the moment it fell.

But the zombies did not die. They were still roaring, lifting the heavy rubble and tossing it aside.

Su Wenwen glanced back. The bodies of the two zombies seemed to be covered with unknown white fibers, which wrapped around their bodies, making them hard and strong.

And their speed was not slow either. They broke into a run, biting at the team from behind. Team members raised their guns and fired. Ordinary bullets hitting their bodies were as hard as if hitting iron, sending out crimson sparks.

Su Wenwen pursed her lips, bent down to unfasten the snowboard under her feet, then lightly leaped high into the air and took out an iron awl from her space backpack.

Seeing this, Luo Xi had no choice but to have the team stop, then commanded the ability users to coordinate with Su Wenwen to kill the zombies.

Soil flew out from the snowy ground, coiling around the two zombies as soft as a snake. But their strength was immense; just a moment after being bound, fine cracks appeared in the soil.

The iron awl in Su Wenwen’s hand arrived just in time, stabbing the center of a zombie’s brow, but it only went in half a cun² before it could not move any further.

“I’ll do it!”

The strength ability user was behind Su Wenwen. The two of them combined their strength, gripping the iron awl and pushing it forward. The zombie’s red eyes flashed with light; it actually resisted the iron awl relying on the hardness of its body.

So hard.

Su Wenwen did not choose to continue the stalemate, but instead went around to the zombie’s back, her arms tightly binding its most fragile neck, and then activated her equipment’s special skill.

A twenty percent attribute bonus.

This allowed her to erupt with astonishing strength. In everyone’s shocked gazes, the neck of that indestructible zombie, a zombie harder than an armored vehicle, was twisted little by little.

Perhaps sensing the crisis, the zombie also erupted. It shattered the soil with the strength of its arms, then scratched behind it with its sharp fingernails.

Those fingernails were pitch-black, clearly full of zombie poison. Just as they were about to scratch Su Wenwen’s cheek, they suddenly stopped, unable to advance another bit.

Luo Xi was covered in sweat.

She had just continuously used her ability for two hours, which was a huge drain. Now, she was excessively controlling the zombie, and a stabbing pain appeared in her brain.

This was a symptom of her mental power being exhausted, the same as the first time Luo Xi overused her ability. If she didn’t rest soon, she might faint.

But Su Wenwen needed help, so she could only grit her teeth and persist. Others could not see anything abnormal about her face, aside from the fact that she was sweating a lot.

Not until Su Wenwen twisted the zombie’s neck off did Luo Xi feel her vision go dark for a moment, recovering shortly after.

Next, Su Wenwen used the same method to twist the other zombie’s neck. The other ability users also hurriedly went up to help, tightly holding the zombie’s arms and legs.

Kacha.

The zombie’s neck was twisted onto its shoulder, and it slid limply onto the snow.

But it was not safe now. The Zombie King behind them was still crying. Su Wenwen put away the iron awl and walked to Luo Xi’s side. Seeing her covered in sweat, she worriedly said, “Are you okay?”

“I’m fine. Let’s leave this place first.”

Luo Xi was wearing an eye mask and a face mask, so Su Wenwen only saw the sweat on her forehead and did not notice her morbidly pale complexion.

She continued to use her mental power to pull the team of several dozen people along on their slides. If not for the speed being much slower than before, Su Wenwen would not have noticed Luo Xi’s abnormality.

She hurriedly stopped Luo Xi.

Before she could open her mouth to ask, Luo Xi drowsily fell into Su Wenwen’s arms.

Relying on Luo Xi alone to pull several dozen people along on slides was, as expected, too much to ask. But in order to rescue Lin Wan, this was the fastest and most convenient method.

The team members asked, “How is Team Leader Luo?”

Su Wenwen turned, put the person on her back, and said, “She’s fine, just over-consumption of mental power. For the rest of the journey, we can only rely on ourselves until she wakes up.”

“Yes.”

In the team, there were quite a few people who couldn’t ski, and Su Wenwen couldn’t either, so everyone unfastened the wooden boards from under their feet, tied them to the back of their backpacks, and began to walk.

Stepping on the soft snow, they had to lift their feet high each time they moved, which was very inconvenient. However, the strength ability user said, “Let’s form a single file line. I’ll open up a path in front and do my best to kick the snow away.”

That was indeed a good idea.

It was much more convenient for the team members following behind to walk, and they could also save some physical strength.

Su Wenwen followed right behind the strength ability user, helping to tread down the snow, while at the same time carrying Luo Xi on her back, carrying her very steadily.
