I Pursued My Scummy Ex’s White Moonlight – Chapter 95

After killing two zombies in a row, in addition to clearing out the zombies at the port, Su Wenwen this time altogether obtained more than ten thousand attribute points.

Now she had almost twenty thousand attribute points in total. Although she could exchange them for two pieces of high-level equipment, she would then have no extra attribute points to purchase items from the store.

The items stored in her backpack were also almost used up. For safety’s sake, Su Wenwen first exchanged for a belt: Damage received -5%, Stamina +100.

Crystal core synthesis still prioritized strength.

Everyone kept rushing on their way without stopping, not resting for even a moment. When they were hungry, they ate biscuits; when they were thirsty, they drank ice water.

No one cried out that they were tired.

The wind and snow at night grew much stronger, but since everyone was constantly in a state of motion, they did not feel that cold.

It was just that after walking for a long time, blisters inevitably formed on the soles of their feet and their muscles were strained. Their legs moved mechanically, as if they did not belong to them.

It was not until the sky was dimly lit that the group finally arrived at the main gate of the military academy. Looking from afar, the main gate had already been destroyed. The wall was as thick and heavy as an ancient city wall, and was spread open to the left and right, covered with a black-red liquid.

Many armored fighting vehicles were placed at the entrance of the military academy, but at this moment they were also in an abandoned state. Some of the vehicle doors were left wide open. As Su Wenwen passed by, she could not help but glance inside one of the vehicles.

Blood and flesh flew horizontally.

It was impossible to distinguish who was who.

The team entered the main gate. On the vast field, many armored vehicles were also lying about in disarray.

As far as the eye could see, no zombies were visible, yet their roars could be heard.

Su Wenwen expanded her five senses to judge the general direction from which the zombies’ sounds were coming, and then led the team to detour to the right.

Luo Xi had not woken up yet, and Su Wenwen was very anxious, afraid that if they were discovered by the zombies, she would have no way to protect so many people.

But if Luo Xi were to wake up, this worry would lessen greatly. This thought made Su Wenwen frown, and she quickly threw it out of her mind.

Since she had decided to become stronger, she could not always harbor thoughts of relying on Luo Xi.

In a tall building that Su Wenwen had not sensed, a zombie whose entire body was a brain and whose legs resembled chicken feet discovered the team’s whereabouts.

The zombie’s crystal cores grew brightly on its large brain. Counting them, there were at least forty or so. Below the center of the brain was a thing that looked like lips. After opening, it could not speak, but it began to vibrate like a loudspeaker.

And all the zombies inside the military academy, as if they had received some kind of signal, raised their heads one after another and turned to run in the team’s direction.

Although Su Wenwen did not sense the brain zombie, she noticed the abnormality of the other zombies within the military academy; they were converging at an extremely fast speed and then rushing towards them.

It was very obvious that the team had been discovered.

Su Wenwen shouted loudly: “Run.”

Everyone did not understand why, but they followed behind Su Wenwen and started running anyway. Su Wenwen, however, was mentally tense, because she discovered that these zombies seemed a bit clever, unexpectedly coming to surround them from all four sides.

What should she do?

Listening to the sound of the zombies’ footsteps, their numbers were definitely not small. She had thought that since they had run for several hours in the city without encountering any zombies, there would not be many in the military academy either. She had not expected to guess wrong.

It was simply as if the zombies of an entire city had been moved here.

“Quick…”

The intersection ahead was their chance at survival. Taking the opportunity before the zombies closed in and blocked it off, Su Wenwen led the team’s members in a desperate sprint.

On both sides of the intersection, densely packed zombies were converging. Just a single glance at their twisted faces, which no longer looked human at all, made one’s scalp instantly explode.

At this moment, everyone stimulated their potential. Even though their bodies were exhausted, they squeezed out their last bit of energy.

But the team was advancing in a single file line, and the members at the rear would obviously panic and lose their composure. Someone’s legs cramped due to excessive nervousness, and they failed to step firmly on the ground, accidentally falling.

Xiao Luo happened to be right next to that person. Without any hesitation, he turned around, grabbed the person’s arm, forcefully pulled him up, and dragged him along in a mad dash.

But the zombies’ running speed was not slow either. Seeing that the team members in front had all run past the intersection while they were gradually falling behind, and the opening at the intersection was getting narrower and narrower as it was slowly blocked by zombies, he could not help but reveal a bitter smile.

At the critical moment, the team member gave Xiao Luo a push, while he himself was grabbed by the hands and feet by a zombie. He could not even raise his gun and could only roar: “Run quickly.”

With a stiff face, Xiao Luo stepped backward, watching helplessly as the team member was submerged by the zombies. A little fresh blood flowed out from the cracks in the snow-covered ground, representing the passing of another living soul.

With tears in his eyes, he raised his pulse handgun and fired continuously, taking down the zombies around him while dodging their pounces and bites from left and right.

But the number of zombies was too great, and he did not even have time to load his pulse handgun with crystal cores. Just as he was bending over to retreat, his foot accidentally slipped, and he fell to the ground, pounced upon by a zombie.

He desperately choked the zombie’s throat, but it was completely useless. The zombie would not feel any discomfort from this and continued to wave its hands, attempting to kill him.

Looking at the zombie’s mouth, which seemed to be smeared with black ink, Xiao Luo’s heart was filled with nothing but fear and fury.

In his peripheral vision, he saw more zombies pouncing. Xiao Luo freed one hand and reached for his waist. Just as he touched a pull ring, a volley of gunshots swept back a portion of the zombies. Immediately after, the zombie pressing down on him had the top of its head pierced directly through by an iron awl.

Before he could react, the collar at the back of his neck was yanked tight, and he was forcefully dragged backward for several meters.

“Are you alright?”

Su Wenwen had handed Luo Xi over to a strength ability user to carry on their back, then turned back to rescue Xiao Luo. Seeing his dull gaze, she thought he had been frightened by the zombies, so she reached out and patted his cheek. Without delaying, she directly pulled him to his feet.

“If you’re alright, keep running.”

Xiao Luo nodded.

On the snow-white ground, the horde of zombies appeared black and heavy. With such numbers, even if they escaped into the scientific research building, they would bring disaster to the people inside.

“Everyone, into the dining hall! We’ll block the zombies in the building, then we’ll exit through the back door.”

After the order was given, everyone in the team sprinted towards a dining hall building up ahead. As Xiao Luo ran, he touched his stinging arm. There was a gash on it, and blood was seeping out from the wound.

The main doors of the dining hall were wide open. After running inside, everyone first held the main doors shut, then went to look for the back door.

Generally speaking, the military academy’s kitchen was very large, so the possibility of it having a back door was high. Thus, Su Wenwen went to the kitchen first to take a look, and sure enough, there was a back door.

Su Wenwen then held the main doors by herself, letting everyone retreat first. Time was pressing, and besides, the trainees and ability users had to strictly execute the orders given.

They immediately ran into the kitchen.

Only Xiao Luo did not move. He dragged a table and propped it in front of the door. The main door was on the verge of collapsing, and its metal frame broke open into a thin crack under the heavy push of the zombies.

“What are you doing? Hurry up and retreat!”

“We run together. I’ll count to three.”

Forget it. Su Wenwen had no time to argue with Xiao Luo, so she nodded and said: “Fine.”

One, two, three.

The two of them turned to flee at the same time. The main door was then knocked open, but because the table was blocking the way, a swarm of zombies were all tripped, and for a moment they were all jammed in the doorway.

Su Wenwen and Xiao Luo smoothly ran into the kitchen and shut the kitchen’s main door with a backhand motion.

Just as Su Wenwen stepped out the back door, Xiao Luo called her name. Su Wenwen turned around. Xiao Luo threw the pulse handgun in his hand to her and said: “I was scratched. I won’t be going with you all.”

Su Wenwen froze for a moment. She saw that the blood seeping from Xiao Luo’s arm had already turned a blackish-red, and some inconspicuous little blisters had also appeared on his neck. He was clearly infected.

Her heart grew heavy, and she did not know what to say.

Xiao Luo, as if liberated, smiled with a relaxed expression: “I can finally be reunited with my mom and dad, so you don’t need to be sad. Take care.”

He gave Su Wenwen one last look, closed the back door, and pushed a refrigerator in front of it. Then he sat on the refrigerator, took out many hand grenades from his waist pack, and threw them into the refrigerator.

Then he took out the explosives from his backpack one by one, placing them on the ground and arranging them.

On the day the apocalypse broke out, Xiao Luo’s parents had died to save him. Their words, “Live well,” still lingered in his ears.

Thinking of this, Xiao Luo’s eyes reddened, and he muttered to himself: “I’m sorry, I really have been living well, so when you see me in a little while, can you please not blame me?”

In the empty kitchen, the only response he received was the sound of zombies ramming the door, just like on the day the apocalypse began. He had been trapped in his office, hiding and shivering all alone, listening to the continuous calls for help from outside the door, tirelessly shouting his name, yet he did not have the courage to open that door.

When it finally grew quiet outside, he had tremblingly opened the door, only to find his parents lying on the verge of death in a pile of corpses. Their necks, hands, feet, and other places—not a single spot was intact.

His parents had been worried about him, so they had braved the danger to rush over. But the crazed crowds were too numerous. In order to get close to the office, the two of them fought a bloody battle, completely changing their usual gentle demeanor. But as ordinary people, no matter how bravely they fought, they could not defeat the zombies that felt no pain.

They finally fell at the office doorway. Because his father’s throat had been bitten, his voice sounded a little different. Those shouts were like a sharp knife, stabbing into his heart again and again.

The moment his parents saw that he was still alive, they both revealed smiles. In their eyes, there was only relief, without any blame.

I’m sorry, I’m sorry!

Just then, the zombies broke through the door and burst in. Xiao Luo seemed to see his parents running towards him, their arms open for an embrace.

He pulled the rings in his hands at the same time and threw them into the refrigerator…

The violent explosion caused the ground to shake. The white snow on the building’s roof slid down, crashing down together with the kitchen ceiling. It startled the zombies into roaring and also startled Luo Xi awake.

Black smoke slowly rose.

Luo Xi moved her heavy limbs slightly. After the strength ability user noticed, he put her down. “Captain Luo, are you feeling better?”

Luo Xi did not answer. She only swept a glance at her surroundings. Seeing that there were fewer people and that everyone was silent and sullen, she roughly understood the team’s current situation.

Words of comfort seemed superfluous at a time like this. Taking advantage of the explosion that had attracted the zombies, Luo Xi directly led the team to the front of the scientific research building.

The main door was made of metal.

It was very difficult to break open with external force, which was why Ji Qingshuang had chosen to have Lin Wan stay here to conduct research.

The electronic camera above the main door was still operating, its red light flashing. Luo Xi waved at the camera.

After waiting for a while, possibly after confirming that there were no zombies in the surroundings, the main door slowly opened.
