Chapter 88
Central State University, girls' dormitory.
After making their calls home while the signal was still working, the two put down their phones after explaining everything.
“I’ve already notified everyone, so there’s no need to worry about food and drink at home for now. But what if A-Wu is out alone and encounters zombies? She won’t even be able to call for help. What should we do then?”
“My dad is a boxing coach. He said he would come to pick me up after he brought my mom home. But A-Wu is an orphan and doesn’t even have any family to take care of her. It’s heartbreaking. If I had known, I would have pretended to break my leg rather than let A-Wu move out!”
The two hurriedly packed their self-defense equipment and supplies.
Wen Ya reassured her, "Don't worry, A-Wu is smart, we don't need to worry. Besides, A-Wu just texted me to let me know she's safe. I've also called a bodyguard. You'll come with me in a bit, and after I take you home, I'll go find A-Wu!"
Wenya quickly packed her belongings, her voice calm but trembling unmistakably.
The family ties in wealthy families are shallow. Her mother died early, and her father, a man from a poor background, is completely devoted to his current first love and stepmother. Fortunately, her maternal grandparents transferred all their shares to her name before they passed away.
She just turned 18 this year, and after some twists and turns, it was only with Ling Wu's help that the shares that belonged to her were finally returned to her hands.
Her maternal grandparents had some connections, so she knew about the situation in advance and sold those shares to her father, a man from a humble background who had achieved success early on.
Most of the money was used to buy supplies, and a small portion was kept because people were worried that the apocalypse might not come.
She had tried to persuade Awu to stay on many occasions, using every possible excuse, but she still couldn't stop Awu from leaving.
She instinctively reached out to touch the necklace around her neck, a thought flashing through her mind for a moment.
Wenya took off the emerald necklace, thought for a moment, and then went into the restroom.
As the light shone brightly, Wenya swallowed hard.
The legendary space! Her supplies finally have a place to go, and Ah Wu can finally live comfortably in the apocalypse!
At the same time, Ling Wu walked through a deserted street filled with zombies.
Then she paused slightly, a hint of understanding appearing in her gentle eyes.
Originally, he was the chosen one who would help this world advance.
The Chosen One...
Suddenly I don't really want to get involved anymore.
But just as she settled her thoughts, she caught a faint, pleading aura of the Heavenly Dao.
Lingwu took a step, her skirt billowing like ocean waves, yet also exuding a bright and warm glow.
Xiao Tiandao speaks very nicely and even promised that she wouldn't go hungry for a long time after the matter was settled. That doesn't seem so bad, does it?
Moreover, the Chosen One is very skilled in cooking. At least in Ji Lingwu's memory, anything made by Wen Ya, no matter how ordinary the ingredients, can be cooked into a top-notch delicacy.
Meanwhile, Wenya, who had safely escorted her two other roommates home, encountered her first setback.
However, since Xiaotiandao had fallen into a deep sleep, things did not proceed as originally planned.
At this moment, Wenya's bodyguards, along with the people she had saved along the way, all stood on the opposite side of her!
Wen Ya huddled in the corner of the warehouse, clutching the necklace in her hand, a deep scratch on her arm!
If she gets caught by a zombie, will she turn into a zombie too?
She also wanted to save Awu. Awu was so beautiful and kind-hearted. How could she survive alone in the apocalypse?
If she really does turn into a zombie, then she must become strong so that she can protect Ah Wu in the future!
Even though she was thinking this, Wenya's vision suddenly blurred.
Screams rang in her ears, and she covered her eyes, tears streaming down her face.
But zombies are so ugly. If she becomes ugly too, will Awu still recognize her? Will she... be afraid of her?
If only she had gone straight to A-Wu's apartment and hadn't rescued these people along the way...
She saved them, so why would someone deliberately push her in front of the zombies?
"Get her out of here! Hurry! Wenya has turned into a zombie!"
"I told you not to follow her, let alone save people! In this world, we can barely take care of ourselves! I should have known better than to go with her!"
"Why didn't you say anything when Wenya rescued you from the zombie horde?" A strange glint flashed in the pale-skinned boy's eyes.
"...Whatever. She's been captured and is about to mutate. There are zombies outside. If you don't throw her out, everyone in this room will get infected!"
As soon as those words were spoken, the expressions on everyone's faces changed!
"Miss Wen, we are truly grateful to you, but... you went through so much to save us, you probably don't want us to die at your hands in the end, do you?"
"That's right! We have elderly parents to support and young children to raise. Miss Wen, please have pity on us!"
"Ms. Wen... I am very grateful to you, but I am really sorry."
One sentence after another gradually turned Wenya's eyes, which had regained some clarity, bloodshot.
She really saved the wrong person.
The boy who had just spoken up for Wenya had a pale face, but his eyes were fixed on the necklace around Wenya's neck!
Before he could respond, Wen Ya stood up, her blood-red eyes, almost like a zombie's, sweeping across everyone's faces!
Then she just stared at them, slowly backing away to the doorway.
She wanted to speak, but could only make a "hmph" sound!
A group of people huddled together in fear, and the pale-faced boy had no choice but to follow along.
In the apocalypse, the main force is very important; he cannot be excluded by the crowd.
As for the female lead's space, he could only reluctantly give it up for the time being.
Wenya opened the door with her other hand. The dim yellow sky outside was oppressive, and the smell of blood and flesh clinging to the zombies wafted in, making people shudder!
Despite the wary stares of a group of people at the door, who seemed to think she wouldn't go out, Wen Yadun resolutely stepped outside.
A door separates the complexities of humanity after the apocalypse from the bloodshed emanating from zombies!
The door slowly closed...
Their bodies remained tense, their guilt mingling with the roars of the zombies outside the door.
"Will Wenya die...?"
"No, I don't know! But she's a zombie! Zombies should be among other zombies! We did nothing wrong!"
In a state of tension...
Suddenly, a voice came from outside the door, a voice powerful enough to calm the violence and restlessness in everyone's hearts.
The voice was serene and gentle; it seemed that no amount of beautiful words could adequately describe the peace that came from their souls at that moment.
"Aya, don't be afraid, I'm here." Lingwu hugged Wenya, who still had a sliver of consciousness left.
As Wenya struggled and resisted the craving for flesh and blood within her body.
She heard her Ah Wu speak...
Ah Wu, you spoke!?
"Ouch—" Ah Wu, it hurts!
Lingwu smiled and patted Wenya's head.
As Wenya hurriedly got up and spread her arms to try to block the large group of zombies, Lingwu's voice rang out.
It seemed as if a deity was whispering:
"I said, kneel down."
For a moment, the roaring zombie in front of him was calm, but then he abruptly bent his stiff legs and knelt down!
Even the constant, noisy "hmph" sounds ceased.
Inside the room, everyone's breathing gradually slowed down, but no one dared to go out and check.
The pale-faced boy, however, looked utterly bewildered.
How come he didn't know such a character existed? And such a powerful ability was activated at the very beginning of the apocalypse!?
And what kind of superpower is this?! Words can actually command?!
He looked at the people around him who were also kneeling on the ground, and tried his best to suppress the domain pressure from Ling Wu's words, but in the end he still couldn't help but bend his knees!
If it's so incredibly powerful, why wasn't it even mentioned in the original text?
Then there's only one possibility: this woman will die young!
Outside the door, Ling Wu bent down and picked up the girl's gradually cooling body.
"Does Aya want revenge?" The girl's voice was soft and gentle.
The tears welling up in Wenya's eyes completely vanished...
Zombies don't cry.
She almost hurt A-Wu!
"Heh heh!"
"Good girl." Ling Wu lowered her head and murmured, then walked away.
A divine murmur fell, lingering in the wind:
“I said, trap them.”
