Chapter 216: Remember to Wait for Me
The several people who were taken down by Ling Hanmu slowly stood up straight.
Their eyes were unfocused, numb, and terrifying.
“Kill them!” Grub commanded them.
They charged over, their scarlet eyes filled with killing intent.
“You will all die, hahaha…” Grub burst into mad laughter.
Their fingernails, just like Grub’s, slowly grew longer and turned black.
Xia Chenge was alarmed and retreated rapidly, avoiding direct confrontation with them.
The zombie virus still required blood to spread, but this virus was far more terrifying than the zombie virus; it could spread through the air! Xia Chenge didn’t know if she could eliminate these viruses if she became infected!
However, this virus seemed to pose no threat to Ling Hanmu.
This put Xia Chenge slightly at ease.
If Ling Hanmu were also to be infected, it would truly bring the apocalypse early!
Due to Xia Chenge’s constant retreat, the experimental tables in the classroom were already mostly destroyed by those who had lost their consciousness, with unknown viruses covering the floor.
At the same time, Grub began smashing windows, attempting to spread the virus from the classroom.
Ling Hanmu leaped over and punched Grub.
Grub dodged to the side and, with a backhand, clawed at Ling Hanmu with his nails, his movements swift and fierce.
Ling Hanmu’s expression was cold, and his fist met Grub’s directly. Grub was sent staggering back several steps.
He looked at Ling Hanmu in disbelief, then all the bones in the hand that had met Ling Hanmu’s shattered, and it hung limply.
Grub’s facial features contorted in pain, while Ling Hanmu remained unharmed.
“How is this possible?” he couldn’t believe it.
Ling Hanmu didn’t reply and pressed forward step by step.
With one hand broken, Grub was forced to dodge in a disheveled manner, no longer daring to engage Ling Hanmu head-on.
Meanwhile, Xia Chenge was entangled by those few individuals and couldn’t break free. For a moment, only figures flickered in the classroom, making it impossible to distinguish who was who.
Ling Hanmu relentlessly pressured Grub, giving him no opportunity to approach the glass windows.
The classroom had now become a poison depot; even he couldn’t discern how many types of viruses were mixed together.
Viruses that could survive in this normal temperature environment were, as one could imagine, terrifying!
Neither Xia Chenge nor Ling Hanmu could imagine what a horrific hell Xicheng Town would become if these viruses spread.
Therefore, no matter what, they could not let Grub open the classroom!
“You think you can stop me? It’s useless!” Grub said menacingly. “Even if you seal this place, what of it? The air will still circulate, and it’s only a matter of time before the people here get infected.”
“At that time, you will be sinners of humanity, bearing the charge of the extinction of all humankind. You cannot escape, nor can you hide.”
Xia Chenge and Ling Hanmu exchanged a look and simultaneously attacked Grub.
However, Ling Hanmu was unaware that Xia Chenge was gradually becoming exhausted.
The concentration of viruses in the classroom was too high; even with her powerful healing power, she couldn’t completely suppress these viruses in a short period.
Moreover, as Grub had said, the classroom appeared sealed, but there were still gaps, and the air would still circulate, so the spread of viruses was indeed only a matter of time…
Those infected individuals were becoming increasingly formidable. Together, they made it difficult for Xia Chenge to fight back.
Her healing power was being consumed too rapidly, with the recovery speed far from matching the expenditure.
Just as she narrowly dodged their attacks, one of them suddenly turned and rammed into the glass window.
Crash.
The glass shattered with a sound.
The dark night outside the classroom was instantly illuminated by the light from the window, revealing a patch of the world.
Xia Chenge wanted to salvage the situation, but it was too late.
A gust of night wind blew, slightly diluting the foul, fishy smell in the classroom.
Soon, sharp screams echoed in the vicinity.
“What’s wrong? Don’t scare me!”
“Ah… Mother, why did you tear off my arm?”
“Don’t come here, murder! Murder!”
“Help, someone’s gone mad, help!”
…
The speed of the virus’s infection was far faster than imagined.
Xia Chenge’s hearing was superior to that of ordinary people, and she could clearly hear their despair and fear.
Her keen sense of smell quickly detected waves of the scent of blood drifting over.
“Hahaha…” Grub laughed maniacally. “See? This human hell was created by you. Come, let us destroy this world together!”
Ling Hanmu suddenly turned to look at Xia Chenge.
Xia Chenge stood in place, staring blankly at the broken window.
“Little Brother!” he called out loudly.
Xia Chenge turned back to Ling Hanmu blankly, not even reacting as those few individuals lunged at her.
Ling Hanmu flashed over and quickly repelled those individuals.
“What’s wrong with you?” Ling Hanmu felt a bad premonition; that elusive feeling made his heart race.
Xia Chenge snapped back to reality, and a thought began to sprout in her mind, growing wildly.
She looked deeply at Ling Hanmu and, without warning, a tear fell.
It turned out that when she was sent back, the ending had already been decided!
Her former comrades who fought alongside her had sacrificed themselves to protect humanity.
She was the last warrior of the apocalypse, fighting to the very end for humanity.
Ling Hanmu was reborn; the apocalypse was his past life. Her rebirth was merely a return to past history. Changing history would also change the trajectory of her life.
The apocalypse would not descend, and she would not exist.
Sacrificing herself to save all of humanity was the meaning of her return to the 21st century.
Goodbye, Ling Hanmu!
“Ling Hanmu, it was a pleasure to know you. Thank you for letting me experience love in my short life.”
“Ling Hanmu, I love you!”
“If there is a next life, I hope we can meet in a peaceful era.”
“Remember to wait for me!”
Xia Chenge’s smile was tinged with tears, beautiful and resolute.
Before Ling Hanmu could comprehend what was happening, Xia Chenge suddenly lifted him and then forcefully threw him out the window.
This series of actions happened in an instant; even with the abilities of the Zombie King, Ling Hanmu couldn’t turn himself around in mid-air without a foothold.
He looked at Xia Chenge with his scarlet eyes and roared hysterically, “Little Brother, no!”
Xia Chenge, however, ignored his words and jumped out the window herself. But, miraculously, she didn’t fall but hovered in the air.
The night wind rustled her clothes, making them billow. She crossed her fists at her forehead, and her clothes instantly puffed out.
“Little Brother, no!” After landing, Ling Hanmu desperately tried to leap to Xia Chenge’s height.
However, an invisible wall seemed to prevent him; no matter how hard Ling Hanmu tried, he couldn’t reach Xia Chenge’s side.
“Little Brother…” Ling Hanmu looked at Xia Chenge in utter despair, knelt on the ground, and roared heartbrokenly, “Why are you doing this?”
