Chu Jinjin couldn't think of any other way.
Regardless of speed and strength, wood is her weakness in every way, and she also possesses normal intelligence. More importantly, even if there is an opportunity, she cannot kill him.
Who knows what will happen after I kill him?
What if all the zombies, whose exact number is unknown, were to march on the capital to avenge him? If that were the case, it would truly become a second apocalypse.
The lights of countless homes flashed by, and faint screams could be heard in the distance. The remaining twenty zombies were frantically attacking the civilians.
Just like at the beginning of the apocalypse, ordinary people had almost no resistance and were unaware of the terrifying contagiousness.
Chu Jinjin hated herself terribly!
Although a similar disaster was bound to happen sooner or later, and it's better to happen sooner rather than later, it was ultimately caused by her.
Mu Wei's speed did not slow down at all; that's a characteristic of zombies—they are tireless and have endurance far exceeding that of ordinary people.
Chu Jinjin, on the contrary, kept running at a high speed. It was only a matter of time before she was exhausted. She estimated the distance to home and, while desperately throwing things behind her, shouted, "Who are you? Mu Wei likes me so much. If you kill me, aren't you afraid he will come after you?"
This is not wishful thinking.
Although Mu Wei seemed to be forcing her, Chu Jinjin could more or less sense that he did have feelings for her.
In short, he won't kill himself because of what just happened.
Mu Wei responded with a long howl, his speed suddenly increasing as he viciously grabbed Chu Jinjin's back.
If this hits, I'm definitely doomed.
Chu Jinjin's potential was forced out, and she dodged in the blink of an eye, falling towards the houses below.
Thankfully, no one was there.
The yard was cluttered with all sorts of things. Chu Jinjin threw them all behind her without even looking at them, and turned to run forward again, shouting, "Dahua, come quick, help me!"
But it can only temporarily stop it.
An unprecedented sense of despair spread through Chu Jinjin. She gripped the hairpin she had never thrown away. With no other options, she decided to take everyone down with her.
The footsteps coming from afar sounded like thunder.
"My husband, I'm here! I've bullied my husband!"
Li Dahua carried a wooden stick as thick as a bowl, looking like a giant god descending from the sky—it was custom-made for her by the guards.
Chu Jinjin's voice was almost hoarse from shouting: "Dahua, beat him up, beat him hard, beat him to death, and whatever you do, don't let him bite you."
She didn't need to say it.
Li Dahua has been feeling really down lately. Since arriving in the capital, she's had very few opportunities to see Chu Jinjin. She wants to throw a tantrum, but she also wants to be a virtuous wife. Today, she finally got her chance to show her true colors.
She swung the huge wooden stick with all her might, smashing it down hard on Muwei's head.
Chu Jinjin was terrified as she watched.
If that hits, it could shatter even a rock.
She had just estimated that Mu's power surged after the berserk state, but it was still slightly inferior to Li Dahua's.
Mu Wei didn't meet him; he dodged quickly, moving so fast it was almost invisible, and his fist was already in front of Li Dahua's chest in the blink of an eye.
Li Dahua didn't have time to retract the wooden stick in her hand. She also clenched her fist and met the blow head-on. She was extremely proud of herself. You know, this was what she was best at. Who wanted to compete with her in strength?
A muffled thud.
Li Dahua cried out in pain, shaking her hand, "Husband, who is he? He's so strong!"
They only managed to knock Mu Wei back a few steps; such a situation had never happened before.
Mu Wei's gaze was fierce as he uttered the same question: "Who are you?"
"You keep him occupied for now. If he moves, hit him with the stick. I'm going to check somewhere else." Chu Jinjin knew what to do and, afraid that Li Dahua wouldn't understand, said seriously, "If you get even a little bit hurt, I'll divorce you."
Startled, Li Dahua immediately repeated loudly, "I remember, I can't get hurt."
Chu Jinjin nodded and reminded him again, "Don't wander off. I'll come back to pick you up."
Li Dahua might not be able to handle a long battle, since her strength eventually runs out, but she'll be fine for a short time.
Chu Jinjin turned and ran back.
Without Muwei, the other zombies are nothing to fear.
She needs to hurry and eliminate the other zombies!
Things were much better than she had expected.
To ensure the safety of the Northern Desert envoys, guards patrolled the area around the inn, and reinforcements arrived, numbering in the hundreds, armed with spears and shields, surrounding the zombies and awaiting orders.
Of course, many people were also injured.
The locals, especially those living near the inn, had no chance to escape.
The guards clearly knew what would happen if the wounded were injured, and they gathered the injured together.
The leader's face lit up when he saw Chu Jinjin: "Miss Chu, are you alright? I was just about to come find you."
Chu Jinjin sighed inwardly. Fortunately, it was controlled in time. Otherwise, if it had taken effect, one person could have infected a whole family, and then it would have spread to ten, and then to a hundred.
Worried about causing panic, she didn't explain too clearly, but subtly gave the other person a wink: "Check it carefully, don't overlook even the smallest scratch."
The envoy from the Northern Desert was only concerned with Mu Wei: "Miss Chu, where is my lord?"
Chu Jinjin said irritably, "They're alive."
After running so hard that her body felt weak, Chu Jinjin caught her breath and was just about to go find Li Dahua when she heard earth-shaking footsteps.
Li Dahua arrived, pulling a wooden stick with a person tied to it.
Chu Jinjin: "......."
"Husband, I didn't hit him, he fainted on his own." Li Dahua shook his head vigorously to explain, afraid that Chu Jinjin would blame him.
Following Chu Jinjin's instructions, she didn't attack first. Instead, she circled around Mu Wei and hit him with the stick whenever he tried to run away. After a few hits, Mu Wei suddenly fell to the ground without warning.
Li Dahua closed her eyes and collapsed limply to the ground, mimicking perfectly: "I dared not touch him, so I tied him to a stick for my husband to see."
The delegation swarmed forward.
"Your Highness?"
The doctor accompanying the group immediately began emergency treatment.
Chu Jinjin was also a little worried: "Could he really be dead?"
If Muwei dies, things will get interesting.
The Northern Desert doctor examined the prince's eyes and took his pulse, and after a moment he breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that His Highness has temporarily fainted."
Chu Jinjin thought of a possibility.
Could it be that the soul that doesn't belong to the Wood element has a limited time to stay, and coupled with its berserk state, it has overexerted itself?
Mu was carried to the inn.
Chu Jinjin told Li Dahua to go back and let her family know she was safe. She needed to stay here and figure out what was going on. The violent Mu Wei was too terrifying, and she couldn't have Li Dahua following her around all the time.
Upon entering the inn, Chu Jinjin suddenly remembered something and looked around: "Princess Le'an, are you still there?"
From under the bed came Princess Le'an's weak voice: "I'm here, Jinjin, am I safe?"
Princess Le'an was truly terrified. She struggled to crawl out from under the bed, her hair disheveled and her face filthy. She had never experienced such a horrific scene in her life.
But she still cannot return to the princess's residence.
Having caused such a big incident, the Emperor will definitely investigate. Even if you go home, you'll be summoned to the palace. It's better to stay here obediently.
Chu Jinjin carefully checked her body to make sure she was not injured before walking over to examine Mu Wei more closely.
My first impression is that the real Muwei has returned.
