Apocalypse: Launching a Counterattack Against the Villainess

Page 21

While encouraging herself, Cheng Yuqiu used all her strength to push the corpse to the edge of the windowsill.

However, at that moment, the zombies that should have been corpses suddenly came back to life.

Its mouth, covered in bits of meat, was opened in an exaggerated arc, and saliva mixed with blood dripped from its lower jaw.

The next second, it bit the girl's arm.

"what!!!!"

A heart-wrenching scream pierced the entire night sky.

Chapter 31: I Can't Forgive You! That's All He Left Me! (3k)

The girl's screams were particularly loud in the empty corridor, and many people thought something had happened outside, so they rushed out of the classroom.

Cheng Yuqiu never expected that a corpse could come back to life, and was immediately terrified, turning pale.

Fortunately, the zombie's body was already so badly damaged that it had lost even the most basic ability to move, leaving only its mouth opening and closing in the air.

Even so, it looks terrifying.

Startled, Cheng Yuqiu instinctively stepped back, but due to her nervousness, her feet tripped and she fell to the ground.

The zombie on the windowsill twitched twice and then fell down, landing directly on Cheng Yuqiu.

"Hey! Don't come any closer!"

The girl screamed and used her hands to support herself on the ground, moving backward while kicking wildly with her feet.

But her attack power was far from enough to inflict fatal damage on the zombies.

The zombie crawled forward, using its only arm to claw at the ground. It felt no pain and no fear; all it saw was food.

By this time, students who had heard the news had arrived nearby.

The boys who were armed and responsible for killing zombies felt a sudden chill when they saw a living zombie enter the isolation net.

Zombies are not strong individually, but their infectious nature is extremely terrifying. If you are not careful, everyone will be in danger.

However, when he saw the zombie's appearance and Cheng Yuqiu lying on the ground, he lowered the weapon he had raised.

The zombie had lost both legs and one arm; it could only move one arm and posed no threat whatsoever.

But that was only true for him. For Cheng Yuqiu, just one glance at a zombie was enough to terrify her for a while. She was already timid, and she had one eye closed when she was moving the corpse.

"You, you guys come and help me!" Cheng Yuqiu was extremely anxious; her arms were starting to go weak. She stumbled backward several times before her back slammed against the wall. With nowhere to hide, she quickly looked up and pleaded:

"Hurry up, I...I'm going to be bitten!"

"Oh, isn't this Miss Cheng?" The boy slammed the iron rod he was holding onto the ground, a mocking smile on his face, but he made no attempt to help.

"Tsk tsk, what an accident! How did they manage to get zombies in there? Were they trying to get everyone killed?"

"I didn't!" Cheng Yuqiu's eyes widened instantly. She was trying to avoid the zombies, so why would she let them in on her own?

At this moment, a dozen or so male and female students in the corridor had surrounded Cheng Yuqiu. The others who were originally going to help put down their weapons and looked like they were watching a good show.

"No?" the boy with the iron rod spoke again. He was short, somewhat overweight, with freckles on his face, and looked rather honest, but his tone was sarcastic.

"So tell me, did you pull this zombie in from outside the fence?"

"But... I thought it was dead!"

Cheng Yuqiu was both anxious and angry, but the zombie was still crawling, leaving a long trail of blood on the ground. It was only a meter or two away from her. There was no time to explain in detail, so she could only change her words and say:

"It, it's already in! Anyway... hurry up and kill it, you idiot!"

"I see..." The chubby boy remained unmoved, his face showing a worried expression, and he spoke slowly:

"This is troublesome. If Chairman Qin finds out you let the zombies in, you might be exiled..."

"You're talking nonsense! I didn't do it on purpose!" Seeing that the chubby boy refused to help, Cheng Yuqiu could only look to the others for help.

However, no one stepped forward.

They knew, of course, that Cheng Yuqiu hadn't done it on purpose, and that if anyone was held accountable, it would be because of negligence on their part as the people responsible for killing the zombies.

But in times like these, who would be willing to be the first to stick their neck out?

Moreover, in an era when social classes were rigid, such a "princess falling from grace" scenario was not common.

Seeing that there was no one she could rely on, Cheng Yuqiu gritted her teeth, mustered her last bit of strength, stood up, and prepared to run away.

But the people surrounding them showed no intention of making way.

Cheng Yuqiu didn't care about anything else and tried to push through the crowd, but she was too weak and was pushed back immediately.

I almost stepped on that zombie.

In desperation, she could only tense her body and press her back against the wall again, her eyes filled with anger.

"What exactly do you want?!"

"If I have done anything that you dislike, I will apologize sincerely!"

"The world is full of dangers now, shouldn't we help each other?"

"Helping each other... isn't impossible," the chubby boy said with a strange grin.

"I helped you kill the zombies, so what can you do for me? How about... you help me relieve my loneliness? Hmm? What do you say?"

"You've already done it with that guy, right? It feels really good the second time..."

"Bastard!!" Cheng Yuqiu lowered his head, his fingertips clenched until they turned white.

The faces around her twisted and changed constantly in her eyes, like demons liberated from hell.

However, at that moment, a crisp sound suddenly came from the ground.

A half-meter-long watermelon knife was thrown at Cheng Yuqiu's feet.

The chubby boy squinted and looked around, but couldn't find the person who threw the weapon.

The clanging of metal brought Cheng Yuqiu back to her senses, and she clearly realized that someone in the crowd had helped her.

Without a moment's hesitation, she immediately picked up the long knife from the ground.

The zombies are almost upon us.

Cheng Yuqiu knew that no one would help her now, and she had to find a way out on her own.

So he gritted his teeth, covered his eyes with one arm, gripped the knife hilt with the other, and swung it wildly while yelling.

She didn't know if she had hit the zombie or if she had been bitten. When she opened her eyes again, the zombie was already hacked to pieces.

After a brief moment of shock, Cheng Yuqiu suddenly felt her stomach begin to cramp, and the next second she leaned against the window and began to dry heave.

"Tch!" The chubby boy curled his lip and glared at the people around him, trying to find the person who ruined his plans. He hadn't found them before, and now it was even more impossible.

Now that things have come to this, even if he was unwilling, he could no longer deliberately find reasons to make things difficult for Cheng Yuqiu.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly noticed a small pink handbag at his feet.

A faint glimmer of light peeked out from the gaps in the bag.

The chubby boy recognized what it was in an instant and immediately bent down to pick it up from the ground.

Then, reaching out, he pulled out a handful of glowing stones, which were the [Primordial Crystals].

"give me back!"

Out of the corner of her eye, Cheng Yuqiu, still peering out the window, noticed someone else holding her small handbag, and her heart skipped a beat.

"Only that... please give it back to me!"

"Hmph, consider this compensation for the trouble you've caused everyone," the chubby boy said, stuffing all the [Primal Crystals] into his pocket.

Seeing Cheng Yuqiu running over relentlessly, her eyes still fixed blankly on his empty handbag, he didn't want to argue any longer and immediately held the handbag above his head:

"If you want this, I'll give it back to you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he threw his handbag away.

But the height clearly indicated that the other party wasn't intended to catch it.

The handbag flew straight over Cheng Yuqiu's head and towards the window.

"don't want!!"

The girl screamed her heart out, throwing herself onto the windowsill, but she was still a step too late.

I could only watch the pink handbag fall through the gaps between my fingers.

Endless despair instantly permeated every corner of her body.

Because inside that handbag was the piece of paper Nie Qingyun had left for her.

It carries the promise between the two.

That's all Cheng Yuqiu has now.

As long as she still has this piece of paper, she can continue to fantasize that Nie Qingyun will come back and take her away.

Therefore, even after being bullied like that, she still couldn't bear to hand the paper to Qin Hehuan.

As long as Nie Qingyun comes back, she can endure any grievances.

But now, everything about her has vanished with the wind.

"Why……"

"I clearly didn't do anything..."

Why did you go so far?!

Cheng Yuqiu's eyes were filled with tears; she had completely broken down.

But the other person had already turned and walked away.

"I will never forgive you..."

With a murmured whisper, Cheng Yuqiu suddenly gripped his weapon and charged forward.

……

"hu~hu~"

Nie Qingyun, who was moving quickly, stopped. Carrying a girl in his arms while traveling was really exhausting.

However, thanks to the intimidating presence of Senior Sister Lingyuan, he did not engage in any battles with zombies along the way.

In another half hour, he will arrive at the teaching building where the media lab is located.

He needs to recover his strength now.

Nie Qingyun gently patted Ling Yuan Ellie's back, signaling the girl to get off him.

But the girl remained unmoved, her arms still wrapped around his waist.

"Senior Lingyuan, come down! If you don't come down, I'm going to hit you!"

As he spoke, Nie Qingyun's hand had already slipped inside the girl's clothes.

Usually at this time, Lingyuan Ellie would obediently come down and then stand tall, letting everyone pick her.

But she still didn't come down this time; her eyes seemed to be staring straight at something.

This piqued Nie Qingyun's curiosity, so he followed her gaze.

The next second, his heart suddenly clenched into a fist.

Ignoring the fact that he was still holding Lingyuan, he quickly ran to the bottom of the main building.

At the foot of the wall are artificially cultivated flower beds.

Amidst clusters of blooming flowers, a small pink handbag lies quietly.

Nie Qingyun pulled it out without thinking.

He remembered very clearly that the handbag belonged to Cheng Yuqiu.

Cheng Yuqiu is a clean and meticulous young woman who loves to dress up. When she encounters zombies, she would rather throw away her food than throw away her bag.

This is enough to show how important this thing is to her.

Open the bag.

Nie Qingyun found a neatly folded piece of paper in the interlayer.
