Hoo… hooo!
Roar!
In a pitch-black night, the air was filled with the roars of monsters.
Occasionally, a cool breeze would blow past, sending shivers down one's spine and raising goosebumps.
Zhao Ling followed Wang Yu to the police station entrance, though she kept repeating "Don't be scared" in her mind.
Yet, the terrifying atmosphere made her calves tremble uncontrollably. She felt the police station's gate was like the gaping maw of a colossal monster, ready to devour anyone who dared step inside, as if she would be completely swallowed by the darkness!
Trembling, she reached out and gripped Wang Yu's wrist. Feeling the firmness and warmth in his hand, she felt a little more at ease.
"Hey, are you sure we're just going to rush out like this? Is… is this really okay?"
Wang Yu glanced back at Zhao Ling, his gaze lingering on her trembling calves for a moment. The corners of his lips curved into a smile. "What, you don't believe me when I say this is how I got through? I'll prove it to you now! We'll charge all the way back to school and see your sister."
Zhao Ling couldn't help but roll her eyes. Was he still holding a grudge over that little incident?
"Big Brother! Stop messing with me. Rushing out like this is suicidal. Don't tell me the zombies won't attack you, because I won't believe that!"
"Hmph, believe it or not."
Wang Yu crouched down slightly. "Come on, you're so timid. I'll carry you, alright?"
"Who are you calling timid!? I'm a police officer!"
"Hmph! Fine, if you're not scared, why should I be…"
Zhao Ling climbed onto Wang Yu's broad back, supporting herself with her forearms and elbows to avoid pressing her entire body against him, which would be awkward.
Wang Yu didn't mind. Although it was a bit uncomfortable, he couldn't say anything.
He activated the wind barrier, enclosing them both, and opened the iron gate.
"Hold on tight, little police flower. I'm going to sprint!"
"Mmm…"
The moment before, Zhao Ling was thinking, it's just running, what could possibly… Mmm… Oh, my! I almost fell off?!
Wang Yu's starting speed was too fast. If Zhao Ling hadn't grabbed his shoulders and Wang Yu hadn't supported her thighs,
She would have surely lost her grip and fallen onto the ground, sprawled out.
Moreover, with that forward and downward tilt, her front inevitably pressed against Wang Yu's back.
"Hiss~! So good…"
Even though she quickly straightened up, Wang Yu still felt the astonishing size and elasticity.
The former was innate, the latter a result of regular exercise.
However, to maintain such a size with frequent exercise could be considered a remarkable gift.
"Hey, I still don't know your…"
"Shh! Don't talk, the zombies can hear."
Zhao Ling felt a bit embarrassed. After Wang Yu's words, she remembered that countless zombies were hidden in the surrounding darkness.
She had originally wanted to ask Wang Yu's name to distract herself.
Unexpectedly, she was shushed before she could finish speaking.
So, she obediently closed her mouth and focused on her surroundings.
Even though she couldn't see much, she could still hear.
The zombies' roars were incessant, sometimes distant, sometimes very close, as if they were passing by.
She really wanted to ask Wang Yu how he managed to make the zombies not attack him.
But Wang Yu had said she couldn't make a sound, so she had to suppress her intense curiosity.
Gradually, Zhao Ling noticed another strange phenomenon.
Despite Wang Yu carrying her and running at an incredibly fast speed, she didn't feel much bumpiness.
It felt even lighter and faster than when she ran normally, as if… like qinggong in martial arts, she felt as light as a swallow.
What was going on?
She couldn't figure it out.
In her eyes, Wang Yu seemed to be full of secrets.
And he had a special attraction for her, making her heart feel like it was being scratched by little cats, constantly wanting to uncover his mysteries.
Although it was pitch dark around them, with the faint light from the sky, she could still see Wang Yu's broad shoulders and neck.
The air in the wind barrier was limited, especially with two people. The oxygen concentration gradually decreased.
Zhao Ling felt drowsiness surge back like a tide.
Despite the dangerous environment, she felt incredibly secure and safe on Wang Yu's back.
Combined with the gentle swaying, Zhao Ling could no longer fight off her sleepiness. She wrapped her arms around Wang Yu's neck and fell asleep, leaning against him.
"Hm?"
The sudden soft pressure on his back made Wang Yu slow down slightly.
This girl…
Ugh… Although Wang Yu was only 21 years old, he couldn't help but call her a girl.
Having survived in the apocalypse for over four years in his previous life, his mindset was naturally more mature.
He could be considered more steady and cunning than many people over 30 in modern society.
And Zhao Ling was less than 24.
According to Zhao Lengleng, her police officer sister had only been working for two years.
After running for a few more minutes, Wang Yu stopped in a place without zombies to catch his breath.
He then reactivated the wind barrier and set off again.
As he passed a fork in the road, Wang Yu's gaze was involuntarily drawn to a graceful figure.
A female zombie stood there motionlessly. She had a slender build, a voluptuous figure, and was wearing a JK uniform.
Her hair, like a waterfall, cascaded down to her waist. Overall, she looked very alluring.
From Wang Yu's angle, he could only see her profile, but he could tell she had three-dimensional facial features.
If she hadn't turned into a zombie, she would have been a school-beauty level stunner.
Even if her front view wasn't as good as her profile, she would at least have been a good-looking woman with a top-tier figure.
However, Wang Yu only glanced at her twice before looking away.
She was just a zombie.
Even if she wasn't a zombie, Wang Yu wouldn't have approached her.
It was simple; he was already surrounded by enough top-tier beauties.
It was hard for someone like this to make him take the initiative.
Wang Yu ran past normally, slightly slowing down at the fork to turn.
"Roar!"
A sharp and loud roar erupted, startling Wang Yu!
As Wang Yu got closest to her, the zombie suddenly lunged, raising its claws to attack him.
Her ten slender fingers were adorned with unnaturally long, sharp nails.
This was… a mutant!
Mutants appeared with Level 1 strength, so the claws that slashed towards Wang Yu were extremely fast, and at such close proximity, a normal Level 1 evolver would have no time to react!
But Wang Yu was different. His physique alone was 8 times that of a Level 1 evolver!
Coupled with the wind barrier active, which provided a speed boost, he simply stepped to the right front and skillfully dodged the attack.
However, because he was carrying Zhao Ling, Wang Yu had made the wind barrier slightly larger to reduce the number of times he needed to catch his breath.
This caused the mutant's claws to tear through the wind barrier. The surrounding zombies within a hundred meters smelled the presence of two living people, and one of them was an evolver, which held a special attraction for them.
They immediately let out excited roars!
Hoo!
Roar!
Roar!
Suddenly, countless high-pitched and noisy roars sounded, not only startling Zhao Ling awake.
Even survivors hiding in houses within a few hundred meters were woken up.
"What… what's going on?"
As soon as Zhao Ling woke up, she heard the deafening roars.
Even though she couldn't see through the darkness, she could completely imagine the situation.
The surroundings were densely packed with zombies that had detected them. The dense roars were truly chilling and terrifying!
