Chapter 134 Complete Betrayal (Unedited) In the end, he still prioritized his own team...
At this point, provoking the other party is obviously not the best solution. Although Liang Jun could try to take a gamble, Zhang Weiming is currently incoherent, and she dares not risk her life.
Liang Jun decisively dropped the metal rod in her hand, temporarily ignoring the zombies that had returned, and raised her hands from her chest.
"I will not move, nor will I run away."
Fortunately, thanks to the adrenaline, Liang Jun couldn't feel the pain in her neck for the time being. She tried to keep her voice down, "Don't be impulsive. Let's talk things out slowly, okay?"
But then, something struck a nerve with Zhang Weiming. The screwdriver, which had already stopped going in, was pushed in a little further with trembling hands. Liang Huan could even feel the pain in her own flesh.
"What do I have to say to you?!" Perhaps due to the effects of ketamine, Zhang Weiming's breath smelled particularly foul, yet he still pressed close to Liang Jun, shouting, "You're the source of all evil! You caused all of this! If it weren't for you, would we have been trapped here for so long?!"
His almost shouting was so loud that it completely drowned out the zombie's heart-wrenching growls, drawing the attention of his teammates nearby.
Jiang Zhiling was stunned by the unexpected scene that greeted her when she turned around. "What are you doing?!"
Luo Chuange, who was closest to Liang Jun, was the first to react.
He grabbed the wooden stick in his hand, turned it around, and was about to smash it down on Zhang Weiming's head when Geng Qing, who was far away in the employee passage, spoke first.
"Don't hit him!"
Geng Qing hurriedly reminded him, "He was injected with an excessive amount of ketamine. It's normal for him to be hallucinating and showing signs of harm now. If you provoke him further, Zhang Weiming might do something even more extreme!"
Liang Xun lowered her eyes and gave Luo Chuange a reassuring look.
Where Zhang Weiming couldn't see, Liang Xuan silently mouthed: Don't be impulsive.
Luo Chuange was so angry he gritted his teeth. Helplessly, he slammed the wooden stick heavily into the ground. "What can we do?! Are we just going to stand by and watch?!"
He had nowhere to vent his anger, and when he happened to see the person behind Liang Xun, his rage intensified. "Old Ren! I really misjudged you!"
Old Ren, who was tying up Liang Jun for Zhang Weiming, was fearless and had no idea what method the magical Zhang Weiming had used to make Old Ren follow him so wholeheartedly to do such an absurd thing.
His previous fear vanished completely, and he even unconsciously increased the pressure on her arms, making Liang Xun feel her arms being bound even tighter.
"I had no other choice," Old Ren said slowly. "I just wanted to borrow one of Xiao Liang's guardian spirits, but she refused to give it to me, so I had no other option..."
"Old Ren, do you have no shame at all?"
Just then, a zombie poked half of its body in. Gu Keke was so angry that she stabbed it with her stick, swiftly splitting the zombie in two. "That's not your guardian spirit. Why do you have the nerve to ask for it? Do you see any of us who are like you, begging and pleading for one?"
That's because you're not afraid to die!
Old Ren cried out, trembling, "I'm afraid of dying! I'm afraid of dying! All I wanted was a guardian spirit to save my life, what did I do wrong?!"
Gu Keke wanted to say something more to him, but Xin Sang stopped her.
"It's like casting pearls before swine," Xin Sang rolled her eyes and said irritably.
Old Ren was unwilling to waste any more words with them, so he had no choice but to shift the topic back to Liang Jun.
"Xiao Liang, don't worry, I would never do such a thing unless I was forced to. But the zombies are about to rush in, so just help us hold them off this wave. Once this zombie horde is over, we will release you unharmed."
Unharmed?
That sounds nice, though.
Liang Jun lowered her eyes and glanced at the blood that was slowly flowing down to her collarbone, finding it somewhat amusing.
In the end, he still left a thankless ingrate on his team.
Two familiar gusts of wind blew past her ears again. Liang Jun quickly looked up and saw that Zhu Shengqing and Zhu Bieming, who had drifted away not long ago, had returned to her.
They stood side by side in front of Liang Jun, one on each side, the thick fog completely obscuring the hideous faces of the zombies behind the glass.
The relaxed smile on Zhu Bieming's face instantly froze on his lips. Although it was hard to see clearly, Liang Xun still keenly noticed his fists, which were hanging at his sides and gradually clenching.
He seemed to be rushing straight towards Liang Jun's back, but was stopped by the black mist beside him.
Zhu Bieming was completely puzzled. He tried to move his body, and even the air currents were constantly swirling and churning. But perhaps because of the suppression of his innate bloodline, no matter what he did, he could not break free from the control of the black mist.
"Brother! Didn't you see she's already injured?!"
Zhu Bieming shouted, "I'm going to protect her! It's my duty!"
Zhu Shengqing's voice drifted over, "So, what are you going to do?"
“I’m going to kill him.” Zhu Bieming said without any hesitation.
As if he had expected this response, Zhu Shengqing's face remained completely expressionless.
He first glanced at Liang Xun indifferently. For some reason, after receiving his gaze, Liang Xun became as calm as if she had taken a reassuring pill, as if everything would be easily resolved.
“But he’s not a monster, he’s a living, breathing person.”
Zhu Shengqing's tone remained calm, "If you do something you shouldn't do because of impulse, you should know what will happen."
Liang Jun was completely confused, but for some reason, Zhu Bieming's emotions gradually calmed down.
His gaze towards Liang Xun held a mixture of pity and self-reproach. "I'm sorry..."
But he shouldn't have had to apologize to him in the first place.
Just as Liang Jun was about to shake her head, her skin accidentally touched the sharp tip of the screwdriver again. Extremely tense, Zhang Weiming thought the other person was about to harm him again, and the force in his hand began to slip out of his control.
"I told you not to move! Don't move!" he screamed hysterically.
More blood seeped from Liang Jun's neck. Jiang Zhiling covered her eyes with her hands in fear, and Qi Zhixia's eyes also showed a hint of worry. However, Geng Qing's attention was not on her at all, but on the glass window with the bigger crack.
"Step back, the glass is going to break..."
Before she could finish speaking, a loud, crisp sound suddenly rang out, like ten thousand fireworks exploding at the same moment. The abrupt explosion left everyone momentarily at a loss.
Almost simultaneously, the culprits, propelled by inertia, surged in like a flood bursting its banks. They piled up like a human pyramid, the bottom zombies becoming stepping stones for the others, while the top group of zombies leaped effortlessly into the medicine-gathering area, attacking the group of fresh, delicious-looking flesh.
Everything happened too suddenly.
Even when the black and white gas wall was fully formed, everyone was still completely stunned.
Because everyone was standing very far apart, the protective circle formed by Zhu Shengqing and Zhu Bieming's bodies was particularly large.
Each of them possessed a constant volume of gas, so the protective circle became almost transparent in a very short time, visible to the naked eye.
They witnessed firsthand the horrifying, greedy, and bloodthirsty faces of the zombies.
I also witnessed the brief moment when the zombie was torn to pieces.
Although each side of the protective circle was as thin as a cicada's wing, it did not significantly reduce the lethality that Zhu Shengqing and Zhu Bieming brought to the monsters in the dungeon.
This seemingly dreamlike mist is actually fraught with danger. All you know is that the moment a zombie rushes straight in, it will begin to fester at the point of contact with the gas. In the blink of an eye, the festering will spread all over its body. The entire zombie is like being thrown into a giant pulverizer. The whole process takes no more than two seconds, and a grotesque zombie will be transformed into nothingness of flesh and body fragments.
This process, characterized by a significant disparity in strength, continues.
The zombies outside didn't understand the sacrifices of their comrades; in their eyes, there were only the delicious flesh of the human players. So the entire zombie horde tirelessly charged forward, one after another, until the last zombie in the entire hospital lobby stepped into the shattered glass, rushed to the black and white protective circle, and shattered into a pile of black and red fragments. Only then did this farce truly end.
The sound of everyone's rapid breathing never stopped.
Amidst a multitude of emotions, they witnessed the black and white mist dissipate again, then coalesce back into two vaguely visible human figures.
Liang Jun's gaze never left them for a moment.
It seemed the battle had drained their energy, as the guardian spirits were struggling to maintain their human form. Dissipation of their energy had become the norm, yet they stubbornly remained by Liang Jun's side, refusing to disappear and rest.
Even after the chaos subsided, Dean Liang remained, his ghost still lingering in the same spot.
He seemed to be the only audience member present, as if he had just watched a farce that left him wanting more, and Dean Liang did not show any unusual emotions.
But everyone put this matter aside for the time being. The most urgent thing to deal with was the screwdriver that was still hanging over Liang Yun's neck.
"Didn't you just say you'd let go of Sister Jun after the zombie horde ended?!"
Jiang Zhiling stretched her neck angrily and shouted at Lao Ren, "What are you waiting for? Release him right now!"
But Lao Ren's grip remained firm. He silently withdrew his gaze and looked at Zhang Weiming, who was holding a screwdriver.
Zhang Weiming's fishy-smelling mouth came closer again, "You, go out by yourself and leave with that old man."
Upon hearing this, even Qi Zhixia couldn't suppress her impulsive emotions.
"Are you crazy? You want her to die in vain?"
"Shut up, you bitch!"
Zhang Weiming glared fiercely at Qi Zhixia, then his emotions became even more unstable. "Wherever you are, that old man will follow you; and wherever that old man is, zombies will inevitably appear—haven't you noticed?"
He spat on the ground, the saliva forming long strands on his beard.
"I'll let you go as long as you lure that old man away and never appear in front of me again."
Liang Xun raised her eyes, her gaze passing over the somewhat unstable Zhu Shengqing and Zhu Bieming, finally settling on Dean Liang's face, which could even be described as "eager".
A nonchalant smile tugged at the corners of her lips.
I promise you.
