Chapter 16 You Are Not Invited
Jiang Changyi arrived at the door and only needed to rush through this last section of the road to reach the West Canteen.
However, there were no teammates following him anymore.
If they weren't killed by the monsters on the road or the giant dragonfly in the sky, they would probably have escaped or hidden.
Jiang Changyi's expression was solemn.
Death is the main theme of the apocalypse. Sympathy will only hinder the survivors from moving forward, but if you ignore death, you will be no different from the walking dead.
Jiang Changyi looked at the giant dragonfly in the sky, ready to use the same trick again and launch another critical attack with the fire extinguisher.
However, this giant dragonfly did not dive straight down, but circled in the air.
"Is this... a sign of fear of me?"
"Could it be that these Zerg have intelligence? They saw that one of their kind being killed by the inertia of my dive, so they didn't dare to charge straight at me?"
“Damn it…”
The distance was estimated to be fifty meters. Even if he ran as fast as he could, the giant dragonfly's swooping speed was enough to chop off his head midway.
“Cheep!!”
The giant dragonfly screamed in the sky and looked very angry. It was probably angry at the struggle of ants like humans.
Jiang Changyi smiled helplessly. He didn't expect that he would be in a stalemate with a monster.
But he couldn't stop. Chen Yonglong's wound was very deep and his life might be in danger at any time due to excessive blood loss. The later he went back, the more dangerous he would be.
"Heh." Jiang Changyi laughed bitterly. He never thought that he, who always prided himself on being selfish, would risk his life for others.
"Just consider it a life for a life."
Jiang Changyi placed the baseball bat across his shoulder, bent slightly to lower his center of gravity, and ran out like a gust of wind.
…
Guo Beibei is a member of the archery club.
When the end of the world came, she was practicing with other members in the archery club's activity room.
When Guo Beibei saw her classmate suddenly go crazy and start biting people, she was not afraid. Instead, she immediately picked up a stool and smashed it at him.
"Xiaodong C, it's done!"
Guo Beibei is not a delicate young lady. She smashed the metal stool so hard that the legs were bent.
After smashing the screaming zombies into pieces, Guo Beibei spat and fled with the other members of the archery club.
And then, under Zong Qiong's command, they went to the west cafeteria and cleared out a second temporary shelter.
The point is, Guo Beibei has also become an awakened person.
Her awakened profession is Archer, who can concentrate energy to shoot arrows with special properties.
Thanks to this, Guo Beibei is considered a top-tier fighter in the West Canteen Shelter.
Of course she also noticed the giant dragonflies hovering over the school, and she also found that these giant dragonflies were slowly surrounding them.
This discovery was undoubtedly disturbing. Just when they were racking their brains over how to deal with these flying monsters, these giant dragonflies flew to the east as if attracted by something.
Zong Qiong is a very smart person, and Guo Beibei knows this. She thinks that the abnormal behavior of the giant dragonfly is probably part of Zong Qiong's plan.
So, when she saw Jiang Changyi running in the open space and the giant dragonfly swooping down, she knew what to do.
“Run!”
Guo Beibei loudly reminded Jiang Changyi and walked out of the West Canteen.
She stretched out her arm, drawing her bow and arrow with a smooth, flowing motion. At the same time, countless purple electric currents flashed on the sharp arrow like fluffy catkins. Her hair fluttered behind her like a frizzy mess, looking powerful and swift.
Jiang Changyi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this scene. Since there was an awakened person who could shoot arrows in the West Canteen, it would not be so difficult to eliminate these giant dragonflies.
However, he also knew that the opponent could not shoot so high, and the archer's only chance was when the giant dragonfly swooped down to attack him.
As Jiang Changyi ran in the huge open space, it seemed that he had nowhere to escape and his life could be taken with just a dive.
Then the giant dragonfly let out a long roar and glided down excitedly, with its sharp forelimbs spread out in advance. It seemed that it had foreseen the scene of Jiang Changyi's head being separated in its scarlet compound eyes.
“Cheep!!!”
“Tsk.”
What else can Jiang Changyi do?
Just run!
I can only hope that this awakener can be more powerful.
As the distance between the man and the insect grew closer, Jiang Changyi gradually felt as if the world had slowed down.
Jiang Changyi could clearly feel the giant dragonfly's huge body and the vibration of its transparent wings.
That cold feeling...is it death?
“Whoosh!”
A purple light flew from a distance in the blink of an eye and directly pierced through the giant dragonfly's head.
“Gah!!!!”
The giant dragonfly screamed, but the volume became weaker and weaker, and finally it fell heavily to the ground.
“Huh, huh…”
Jiang Changyi was gasping for breath. The giant dragonfly's sharp forelimbs were only half a meter away from him. If the arrow had been shot just a little bit later, his body would have been torn apart.
I felt a surge of fear, and then I realized my back was soaked with cold sweat.
On the other side, Zong Qiong also ran out of the building, with three giant dragonflies flying in the sky.
No one else ran out behind him, so he was probably in great danger.
But these have nothing to do with me anymore.
Jiang Changyi turned around and started running back.
Let the archers in the West Canteen deal with the remaining giant dragonflies. He has no physical strength left, and he has no way to deal with these monsters that dominate the sky.
That silly, dark-skinned athlete is still waiting for me to go back and save him.
That pure smile emerged in Jiang Changyi's mind, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.
"Make sure...nothing happens!"
There were no giant dragonflies on the way back, and zombies and red beetles were not to be feared, so even though his physical strength was almost exhausted, Jiang Changyi still returned very quickly.
But when he returned to where Chen Yonglong left, he fell silent as he looked at the scene in front of him.
“…”
Chen Yonglong was half-sitting, half-lying against the wall, but next to him was another man kneeling. Judging by his clothes and back, he was probably Wang Xin, who had been bitten in the classroom.
But……
Not only did Wang Xin appear here, but his face was also close to Chen Yonglong's, and they were probably kissing.
Jiang Changyi stood behind him and watched, feeling a sharp pain in his chest, not knowing whether it was due to exhaustion or something else.
After Wang Xin sat up straight, Jiang Changyi saw the comfort and happiness on Chen Yonglong's face.
“No wonder…”
No wonder Chen Yonglong cares so much about Wang Xin and keeps helping him even after he was bitten.
It turns out...it turns out they are a couple.
Jiang Changyi turned around and left silently.
It turned out that I was being too sentimental. The person he needed was not me at all.
