Chapter 149: Zombie Note (18)

There were no sounds of animals during the nights of Doomsday.

It was dead silent.

The sky above was no longer filled with stars. In the darkness where one couldn’t even see their own hands, zombies wandered around.

Ming Shu had been driving for half a month, but she wasn’t even halfway through her journey. Most of the roads had been blocked or destroyed. She had to think of another way to get to the capital.

Sometimes, she would meet survivors who wanted to rob her of her food. But as you know, there was no way she would allow that to happen.

Ming Shu opened the map. Little Beastie jumped onto the map and started rolling around.

Ming Shu pushed it away. “Move over.”

Little Beastie rolled back and stared at her with its black, round eyes. It started squeaking.

Don’t say that I didn’t warn you. The car back there has been following you for quite some time.

It was really dark outside. Nothing could be seen.

However, Ming Shu didn’t doubt Little Beastie and stowed the map. She picked up Little Beastie and got out of the car.

The temperature at night was no different than the day. It was hot and stuffy. Ming Shu found the flashlight and shook it a few times before it worked. The light dispersed the darkness.

Ming Shu held it out and walked down the road.

The surroundings were filled with wilderness. The probability of meeting a zombie was very low.

After a turn, Ming Shu saw a few cars. The headlights were on and it was very quiet. There seemed to be no one there.

She cautiously approached the first car. The door was open, but there was no one inside.

Ming Shu looked back and went to the second car. It was a caravan and was filled with food and other random items. However, just like the first car, it was empty.

There were two more cars behind it.

Ming Shu continued walking. The third car had bloodstains on it; they looked fresh.

The headlights of the last car turned on suddenly and shined directly at Ming Shu.

“Hello, we meet again.” A head popped out from the car. The owner seemed very happy to see Ming Shu.

Xu Shuo got out. As compared to half a month ago, his clothes were dirtier, but he was still as energetic as ever. He waved at Ming Shu. “Such a coincidence, are you taking this route as well?”

Coincidence your head!

Ming Shu pulled up her sleeves and prepared to punch him.

Xu Shuo immediately stepped back. “Hello, hello, I admit that I was rude last time. Do you have to hold a grudge for so long?”

I’ve taken a step back already. What else do you want!

What the hell do you want!

“I bear grudges a lot.” Ming Shu smiled.

“Wait…!” Xu Shuo shouted. “Do you know where the people in these cars went?”

“Didn’t you kill them?” When she drove past this place, there weren’t any cars. This meant that the cars were behind her.

Only Xu Shuo was here.

If he’s not responsible, who else could it be?

Don’t tell me stuff like “Xu Shuo doesn’t kill people.”

This crazy person…

To him, killing must be as easy as eating and sleeping.

After all, we can never understand what a maniac is thinking.

“I am glad that you think so highly of me. However, this was not done by me.”

Xu Shuo just reached this area and noticed red light flickering within the forest. He thought that it might be some human with superpowers so he drove over and waited.

Who knew Ming Shu would appear.

“Was this your doing?” he asked.

“I don’t kill humans.”

It’s not him?

Then who is it?

Shashasha—

A gust of wind blew from the forest. Ming Shu smelled foliage as well as blood.

Her heart jumped. She ran off immediately.

“Hey, what are you running for?” Xu Shuo instinctively followed behind Ming Shu.

Whiz—

Something shot out from the trees.

Xu Shuo heard an object flying through the air.

Soon, it landed behind him.

He looked back and his eyes widened.

He instantly grabbed the gun on his waist and shot behind him. The gunshot echoed throughout the entire highway.

A sharp roar sounded right after it.

The object slammed into a car, denting the car entirely.

There was a gorilla behind them. A gorilla that was a few times bigger than the normal ones.

It was a gorilla zombie. Its skin had rotted away almost completely and it looked hideous.

The gorilla was moving at an amazing speed. Xu Shuo had to exert himself fully in order to catch up with Ming Shu.

Ming Shu ran all the way back to her car, closed the door, and started the engine.

Xu Shuo didn’t reach it in time. However, he managed to grab the door. The car zoomed off and Xu Shuo was left streaking through the air, the hot wind scratching against his face like knives.

The gorilla was only a few meters away from him. He hung onto the door and knocked the window furiously.

Let me in!

Ming Shu focused on driving and ignored him.

Damn!

Xu Shuo cursed and climbed onto the hood of the car.

Luckily, her vehicle was an army vehicle. There were places to hold onto at the top. Xu Shuo barely managed to regain his balance. The gorilla kept chasing them. Even in the darkness, one could see its horrendous face and its sharp white teeth.

Xu Shuo took out some pieces of equipment and started assembling them onto his gun. Then he aimed at the gorilla and took a shot.

Ming Shu maneuvered the car with skill and managed to dodge a few of the gorilla’s attacks.

This also caused Xu Shuo to miss his target and almost fly off the car.

Boom—

The gorilla took a hit on its shoulder and slowed down for a minute. However, it was up again in the blink of an eye and chased them even more ferociously.

The boss leveled up!

I have to face this monster alone! This is too stressful!

Xu Shuo regained his composure and continued firing at the gorilla. The gorilla didn’t stop even though it was wounded.

Only one bullet was left. Xu Shuo aimed at its head.

Boom—

The gunshot rang through the night.

The gorilla fell and slammed into the ground with a blunt sound.

Xu Shuo was still recovering from the adrenaline rush when his body jerked back suddenly and he fell. The tires were right in front of his eyes. Luckily, he rolled quickly to one side and didn’t get hit by the car.

Xu Shuo swallowed a mouthful of saliva and picked himself up from the ground. He knocked the car window with his gun and shouted angrily, “Hey!”

Ming Shu winded down the window with a look of surprise. “You’re not dead yet?”

“…”

How much do you wish I’d die?

I’m not going to die. I won’t die and will continue irritating you every single day. What can you do to me?

“I’m a genius. I can handle this kind of small matter.” Xu Shuo smirked arrogantly.

“A genius was chased by a gorilla? A crazy genius? The title suits you.”

“You were chased by the gorilla, too.”

“I never said that I’m a genius.”

“…”

What the hell! I’m not doing this anymore!

Xu Shuo’s heart was full of reluctance, but he managed to look up and asked calmly, “Shall we take a look at the gorilla? It was so powerful. There might be something of value there.”

“…” How can he still remain calm?

How?! Have I met my match?

…

[The Harmony System]:

In the future, the interaction of the male and female leads might go like this…

“Would you die from hating me?” Ming Shu asked.

“Would you die from loving me?” the male lead retaliated.

“Do you want to fight?”

“Fight, then! I’m not afraid of you!”

“Come on, then. Whoever backs out is an a**hole.”

The male lead grabs Ming Shu’s legs. “Please just love me already”.

“That’s impossible. Over my dead body.”
