Their stopping quickly caught He Sizhao's attention. He turned his head and glanced over here. His expression remained unchanged, but his eyes suddenly became deep.
"Come back." He quickly dodged an attack. "Come closer to me."
The purpose of letting them go first was to let them survive. Now they would die if they moved forward or backward, so it would be better to put them next to him so that there would still be a glimmer of hope for their survival.
Jiang Chuyi raised her eyebrows and let Wen Xi pull her tremblingly back to her original place.
Now, there are two second-level zombies in front of them.
Jiang Chuyi could feel that He Sizhao's breathing was gradually becoming heavier. After all, he was just a mortal. When the concept of natural talents and supernatural powers was not yet popular, it was already his limit for him to be able to deal with a second-level zombie alone.
She didn't believe that he knew the urgency of the situation, but she couldn't see any panic on his face. While dealing with the attack of the zombie at hand, he looked calmly into the distance.
He was obviously thinking of a strategy.
But Jiang Chuyi knew that in a dark and narrow place like this, without lethal weapons and manpower, no matter how smart and resourceful he was, he would not be able to deal with two second-level zombies at the same time.
Such are the limitations of humankind.
Just like that, the two of them were on high alert, Jiang Chuyi was relaxed, and the three of them watched the second zombie slowly approaching.
When he reached the light of the flashlight, Wen Xi let out a low cry of surprise.
They all saw what the zombie was dragging in his hand.
It was a dead body.
It was already stiff and was casually held in the hand of this second-level zombie. As it walked over, it swung it up and smashed towards He Sizhao.
He Sizhao dodged, but the zombie seemed to go crazy and started to move the corpse randomly without any rules.
The place was small, and Jiang Chuyi and the other person were not too far away from each other. Even if it didn't hit Jiang Chuyi directly, the stone debris that was already unstable after the explosion was smashed into pieces and fell down with a crackling sound.
It poured all over Jiang Chuyi's head and face.
Jiang Chuyi's face darkened.
"How are you? Are you hurt?" Wen Xi asked nervously, "I'm sorry, I didn't have time to protect you..."
Jiang Chuyi said nothing. When no one was looking, she stared at the two second-level zombies with a dangerous look in her eyes.
Originally, she wanted to see how powerful this man named He Sizhao was. At least she could keep him alive.
But now…
Jiang Chuyi was about to stretch out her shadow hand to crush the two things to death, but she glanced at Wen Xi next to her and stopped.
No, we can't scare the cook away.
She wanted to order the zombies to leave like last time, but when she thought that the third brother would doubt her identity by this action, she stopped hesitantly.
She thought about it over and over again, but couldn't figure out how to kill the two zombies without revealing her identity, and her face became annoyed.
It’s so annoying. She’s still hungry. How long will these two things disturb her?
Just as Jiang Chuyi was lost in thought, He Sizhao's voice suddenly rang out.
"Get out of the way—"
For the first time, fear entered his voice.
Jiang Chuyi felt a gust of wind rushing towards him, and heard Wen Xi's scream.
The zombie carrying the corpse started beating it wildly and actually rushed straight towards the two of them.
Wen Xi's face showed a determined look. She wanted to hug Jiang Chuyi and use her body to block him.
Even though she knew it was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, she still had to fulfill her last duty as a soldier.
He Shizhao was already showing signs of fatigue, but at this moment he burst out with tremendous strength. After knocking the fighting zombie away with a punch, he rushed towards the two of them!
But even if he awakened his talent for speed, it would be impossible for him to catch up with the attack that was already right in front of him.
"No!" he hissed.
At this critical moment, Jiang Chuyi moved.
She suddenly stretched out her hand and pushed Wen Xi, who was hugging her, backwards.
Wen Xi and He Sizhao were both stunned on the spot.
"Little sister!" Wen Xi screamed.
In their opinion, it was obvious that Jiang Chuyi did not want to implicate Wen Xi and wanted to face the zombies' attack alone!
He Sizhao widened his eyes, and a strong sense of anger and unwillingness erupted in his heart. The power that he had been suppressing suddenly lost control and was released violently!
"No--"
However, he was unable to stop the attack as it had already reached Jiang Chuyi.
Before being hit, Jiang Chuyi glanced at him.
In He Shizhao's eyes, this glance contained countless instructions, yet it was quiet and beautiful.
Like a swan quietly waiting to be chopped off.
He Shizhao's eyes were bloodshot and his heart was instantly filled with despair.
Then, a scene that shocked them happened.
Jiang Chuyi was not knocked away directly as they imagined, but instead reached out and grabbed the arm of this second-level zombie.
Jiang Chuyi's weight was too light for this zombie. It raised its arms almost without any consciousness and continued with the next round of beatings.
Jiang Chuyi, like a light kite, flew up directly with the help of this force.
She landed on the shoulder of another zombie.
"This...this is..." Wen Xi was stunned.
A deep fear flashed in He Sizhao's eyes. He could no longer bear it, and his speed and strength suddenly doubled again.
He gritted his teeth, grabbed the zombie's flailing arm, and a fierce light flashed in his amber eyes.
Click.
He twisted it hard and actually broke the wrist of the second-level zombie.
"Huh?" Jiang Chuyi sat on the shoulder of the second-level zombie. She only needed to emit a little breath, and the zombie continued to attack others as if it didn't notice her sitting there.
"There's something wrong with this person," she muttered to herself.
Although she was fine, her current appearance was too suspicious. She looked up and down at the zombie and saw the dagger stuck in its neck.
Jiang Chuyi's eyes lit up, he pretended to shake, then reached out and grasped the dagger.
tear——
With He Sizhao's outburst, the zombie holding the corpse was quickly dealt with. He was covered in blood, his hair standing on end with rage, and was about to turn around to save Jiang Chuyi.
However, just as he turned around, with a bang, another zombie's huge body fell heavily at his feet.
He Sizhao was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted, raised his head and stretched out his arms in a welcoming gesture.
He ran forward a step and steadily caught Jiang Chuyi who "fell" from above.
Jiang Chuyi suddenly fell into an embrace filled with the smell of blood and gunpowder. Because it was not the first time, she actually felt that this embrace had become familiar.
So she didn't resist and let him hold her. She heard him hoarsely shout to the back: "Run!"
Because He Sizhao was standing in front and Wen Xi was not injured, she quickly followed the order and kept up.
Boom—boom…
The tunnel, which was already unstable, was on the verge of collapse because of the previous battle.
They ran forward desperately, racing against time.
Jiang Chuyi looked up at He Sizhao's determined jaw, wanting to ask him why he didn't use his speed talent, but then seeing Wen Xi following behind him, he didn't ask.
He probably doesn't want to leave Wen Xi alone.
Jiang Chuyi had no objection to rescuing the cook. She didn't have to run around anyway, so she curled up in his arms with peace of mind, watching the tunnel behind her collapse.
After all, Wen Xi has not fully recovered yet, and his breathing is terribly disordered.
"Wen Xi." He Sizhao said briefly, "I can't stop. Speed up a few steps and jump on my back."
Wen Xi spoke incoherently: "I..."
He Sizhao said sternly, "Hurry!"
Wen Xi said no more. She took a deep breath, ran forward, and used all her strength to climb onto He Sizhao's back.
Carrying the weight of two people on his back, He Sizhao suddenly increased his speed.
He can even outrun a collapsing tunnel!
Jiang Chuyi could faintly hear his heavy breathing. It seemed that at this point, this man could no longer hold on.
She didn't want to be buried here, but she also didn't want to use her abilities and have her identity discovered, so she naturally called out, "Huhuhu, where is the exit?"
"It's about 500 meters to the southeast." The system was already used to Jiang Chuyi using it as a GPS, so it answered her casually.
Jiang Chuyi: "You're running in the wrong direction. The exit is in the southeast."
He Sizhao paused and looked down at her.
Jiang Chuyi opened her dark eyes and looked at him calmly.
He opened his mouth slightly, but because time was tight, he did not ask her why she knew. Instead, he turned around and ran directly in the direction Jiang Chuyi said.
After turning a few corners, a bright light appeared ahead.
"We're here!" There was uncontrollable surprise in Wen Xi's voice.
He Shizhao's eyes fixed, and like a cheetah locking onto its prey, he suddenly squeezed out his last bit of strength!
Jiang Chuyi felt as if she was flying. As the fierce light enveloped her head, she was once again tightly embraced by a familiar embrace.
Bang.
They landed heavily on the ground, and instantly a lot of noisy footsteps and voices surrounded them.
"Boss!"
"Congratulations, Captain!"
"Wen Xi!"
"There's another one in the boss's arms..."
Jiang Chuyi was completely hidden by He Sizhao's figure. From an outsider's perspective, one could only see her blood-stained white nightgown and her long black hair sticking out from her arms.
Although she was protected, she was still inevitably hit. Jiang Chuyi gasped in shock, and then the flying dust instantly filled her entire nasal cavity.
Jiang Chuyi: "Cough cough cough cough!"
She curled up in He Shizhao's arms, coughing heart-wrenchingly.
"It's okay, it's okay."
A trembling big hand slowly touched her black hair. The man held her in his arms cherishingly, repeating this sentence over and over again in a low voice mixed with a hint of pity.
"You are safe, don't be afraid."
Jiang Chuyi coughed so hard that tears were about to come out. She wanted to curse, but the first sound she made was a violent cough.
Who's scared? You're scared, and your whole family is scared!
Are you trying to murder her by squeezing her so tight, you bastard?
After a while, a familiar and carefree voice sounded tentatively.
"Um... Boss, how about you get up first? I think this little girl is almost crushed to death by you."
He Sizhao: ...
He paused for a moment, then carefully climbed to his feet.
Lying on the ground, coughing until tears came out, Jiang Chuyi, who was so fragile and beautiful that it seemed like she would break at the slightest touch, was exposed in front of everyone.
She felt that annoying hand on her head again.
"Don't be afraid, no one will hurt you anymore."
Jiang Chuyi:?
