Chapter 164 The Original Female Lead Who Became Cannon Fodder 14
At this moment, Li Suqin was struggling with what to do. After all, she had witnessed what had just happened, and given Lin Wuque's unpredictable nature, she might very well lose her life.
But it's too dangerous outside; she'd probably be gone as soon as she went downstairs on her own.
So after hesitating for a while, Li Suqin decided to stay here.
Putting aside other things, she is quite good at taking care of people and also knows some medical knowledge. As long as she pleases Ruan Yunzhen, the chances of her saving her life are quite high.
Just as he made up his mind, he saw the two of them walking downstairs side by side.
Both of them were empty-handed, looking like they were going out for a walk, but recalling that Ruan Yunzhen had also been preparing to leave empty-handed before, and their previous conversation about training the dog, Li Suqin suddenly felt something was wrong.
"Um, Miss Ruan, are you planning to leave here?"
Ruan Yunzhen nodded. "Yes."
Lin Wuque then noticed that there was an eyesore here.
Originally, I planned to stay here with Yunzhen, which is why I spared her life. But now that we're leaving, there's no need to keep her here any longer.
A wisp of light black smoke shot out from Lin Wuque's fingertips, heading straight for Li Suqin.
Upon seeing this, Ruan Yunzhen immediately shouted coldly, "Lin Wuque, stop right there!"
She wasn't a soft-hearted person; she just disliked meaningless killing.
Especially since Li Suqin had taken care of her, she shouldn't be erased from the picture.
Lin Wuque paused, then reluctantly withdrew the wisp of smoke.
Li Suqin then realized what was happening and was immediately terrified, breaking out in a cold sweat and feeling her legs go weak.
Lin Wuque actually wanted to harm her!
In her panic, she instinctively staggered a few steps toward Ruan Yunzhen's location.
Upon seeing this, Lin Wuque's eyes turned cold, and a chilling killing intent flashed in them.
He raised his hand and grabbed at her, preparing to snap her neck.
"Smack—"
Another crisp slap echoed.
Ruan Yunzhen is now becoming increasingly skilled at slapping people.
Lin Wuque's hand froze instantly before it even touched Li Suqin's neck.
Li Suqin was terrified and quickly took a few steps back, but her fear subsided somewhat.
“Yun Zhen…”
Lin Wuque lowered his hands, looking at Ruan Yunzhen with a pitiful expression. His long eyelashes fluttered, casting an innocent shadow beneath his eyes, completely dispelling the gloom from before.
Ruan Yunzhen didn't even bother to glance at him.
She nodded slightly to Li Suqin: "We'll be leaving now. You should make your plans as soon as possible."
After saying that, he lifted his foot and continued walking down.
"Wait, Miss Ruan."
Li Suqin called out hastily, no longer caring about her fear of Lin Wuque.
"Hmm?" Ruan Yunzhen turned around.
This place has remained peaceful because of the ruthless demon Lin Wuque. Now that he's gone, leaving her all alone, she'll soon become food for zombies.
Since death is inevitable either way, I might as well take a gamble.
Despite Lin Wuque's murderous glare, Li Suqin forced herself to say, "Miss Ruan, may I...may I go with you?"
Lin Wuque said in a sinister tone, "No, if you dare to follow me, I'll kill you!"
"Miss Ruan, please..."
Li Suqin dared not meet Lin Wuque's gaze, and only looked at Ruan Yunzhen pleadingly.
Ruan Yunzhen thought for a moment and said, "You can come with us, but we won't protect you. Your life or death is up to you."
That's considered giving her a break.
Although Ruan Yunzhen disliked Li Suqin's previous obstruction, she wouldn't blame her.
Her choice is what ordinary people make: to survive, to struggle and fight for life in difficult circumstances.
Li Suqin was overjoyed and kept thanking her, saying, "Thank you, Miss Ruan, thank you!"
"Yunzhen~"
Lin Wuque tugged at Ruan Yunzhen's hem to express his dissatisfaction, while subtly moving closer to her, quietly shortening the distance between them.
Ruan Yunzhen ignored him and continued walking down the stairs.
Li Suqin quickly turned around, picked up her schoolbag, and chased after him.
While she was hesitating, she packed everything up, which makes things convenient now.
There wasn't much stuff: two sets of fairly clean clothes and some food.
Although Li Suqin was indeed responsible for taking care of Ruan Yunzhen, Lin Wuque didn't pay much attention to her and didn't give her much food. She managed to save up half a backpackful by eating and saving.
They were on the 28th floor. Lin Wuque chose this location because it was clean and high up, so that ordinary zombies could not smell them.
Even someone as powerful as Lin Wuque wouldn't want to face an attack by zombies as numerous as ants, even if killing them was easier for him than mowing grass.
As for those high-level zombies, he had already killed or driven them away.
Advanced zombies possess a basic level of intelligence; knowing that a great killer resides here, they will suppress their instinctive craving for flesh and blood and stay far away.
As she descended the stairs, before long, a thin blush gradually appeared on Ruan Yunzhen's porcelain-white skin, like a rouge plum blossom blooming in the snow.
A few strands of hair were damp with a light sweat, sticking to her temples, and a faint blush appeared at the corners of her eyes.
Lin Wuque took a half step back, his gaze fixed on her snow-white porcelain-like profile. Black mist swirled in his sleeves, forming chain-like shapes, then forcefully pressed down into gentle ribbons.
"Yunzhen, shall I carry you?"
Ruan Yunzhen waved her hand: "No need, I can walk by myself."
Her body is too weak; she needs some exercise.
Lin Wuque didn't say much, but kept his gaze fixed on her, with black mist swirling around her, protecting her completely.
As they descended to the fifth floor, a stench began to fill the air, and the zombies below, like sharks that had smelled blood, began to gather restlessly.
The roars echoed through the empty streets, drawing the zombies from afar to converge on this side.
Lin Wuque usually travels with lightning speed, running far away before the zombies can surround him. He is too lazy to deal with these ordinary zombies that pose no threat to him.
This is the city center, so you can imagine how many zombies are here.
Even though many have already wandered out of the city, what they left behind is still a massive number.
By this time, the area downstairs was already packed with people.
Because Lin Wuque had sealed off the first floor, the zombies couldn't get in. They all gathered together, and the sound of their fingernails scratching each other was ear-piercing.
If it were Ruan Yunzhen herself, she would probably use artillery shells to forcibly clear a path, and then take the opportunity to retrieve a car from her spatial storage and drive away.
However, with Lin Wuque present, she restrained herself from making any moves.
She wanted to see for herself just how powerful he really was.
"Yunzhen, walk behind me."
Although Lin Wuque was not afraid of these small fry, he would not risk Ruan Yunzhen's life.
Ruan Yunzhen nodded slightly, falling a step behind Lin Wuque as she walked, a gun quietly appearing in her hand for emergencies.
Li Suqin's face turned pale, and she couldn't help but take a few quick steps closer, afraid that she would fall behind.
