Chapter 79: Go back, or else, die!
Su Qian couldn’t understand Zhang Xiao Qiang. She had been a call girl as well as a manager and had seen all sorts of characters. However, she had never seen someone with such a strange temper like Zhang Xiao Qiang. He obviously disliked Yuan Yi, yet he gave her chance after chance. He also treated herself better than Yuan Yi, yet was stricter with her during training. She was afraid that she could not keep up with his pace and would be abandoned.
She was just a woman, a slightly calculative one at that. However, how could her little schemes be used in this world where everything made no sense now? In the morning run, she knew that she was the weakest amongst the 3 women. Not to mention Yang Ke’er, she could not even compare with Su Qian. As a woman, her value could not match up to Yang Ke’er’s innocence nor Yuan Yi’s beauty.
She had originally thought that she was strong, and she could take suffering. As long as she met Zhang Xiao Qiang’s demands, she could shake off her status as a female slave and become a warrior beside him. However, as she watched Yuan Yi killing the zombies like a warrior herself, Su Qian felt a strong sense of defeat.
“Dad! Watch over me! Your daughter will live on well!” Su Qian cheered herself on silently, and the helpless look in her eyes was replaced with resolution.
The zombies had no sense of sight and had no perception of danger. As the zombies in front were killed, the ones behind would step forward dumbly. Yuan Yi didn’t even need to move her feet, as she continued to strike at those new zombies. She had expended a huge amount of stamina in the morning and suffered a few scares in the afternoon. Her body was starting to get exhausted and was losing her sharpness in her thrusts.
“3 more….2 more….1 more…” She continued to chant silently. Only after the last zombie was down, did she begin to relax.
Seeing the last zombie, Zhang Xiao Qiang took out his handgun and cocked the safety. It was a D-type, and its strength could knock the door away. While Yang Ke’er had stuck the door to block the ordinary zombies, it might not necessarily block the D-type. Zhang Xiao Qiang did not want to alert Yuan Yi. It was the last test for her today, if she could get past this, he would gain another assistant. If not? ‘Rest in peace, I’ll avenge you!’
The D-type had been stuck behind because of the rest of the ordinary zombies. Only after the ones in front were dealt with by Yuan Yi could it move in front. The fallen zombies’ corpses had become obstacles on the ground, causing the movement of the D-type to be slow. As it came up to the door, Yuan Yi raised the Beast Horn Spear and struck out.
At that moment, the D-type stepped on an empty spot, and its body staggered. The Beast Horn Spear brushed past its face and tore its right ear off in a bloody fashion. The bones in the face were exposed. There was also a huge bleeding hole where the ear used to be.
When the zombie felt its ear hurt, it roared out in fury: “AO~~~~~” The D-type then charged towards Yuan Yi’s direction.
‘Peng’ The steel door immediately received a powerful impact, and the corners stuck in the wall creaked loudly. More parts of the wall were dislodged and scattered.
Seeing that the door was not able to withstand the blows from the D-type, Yuan Yi began to panic. She lifted the spear again and tried thrusting. However, her speed was lacking as compared to previously, and this time, it pierced through the D-type’s right arm.
“Ha~~” Yuan Yi screamed out in frustration and tried to put her bodyweight into the spear. The Beast Horn Spear then pierced through the chest of the D-type, before being stuck in its ribs. Without waiting for her to pull it out, the D-Type raised its left arm and smashed towards the spear.
With a ‘kacha’ sound, the wooden part of the spear was split in two. Zhang Xiao Qiang’s Chrysanthemum Beast Horn Spear was made out of wood, and the wood wasn’t some quality stuff. It naturally could not withstand the strength of the D-type. Yuan Yi held the half-broken spear and stared dumbly. When she saw the D-type about to crash into the door again, she turned around with the intent to escape.
Yuan Yi could not believe her eyes as she looked at Zhang Xiao Qiang, tears welling up in her eyes. He was currently pointing his handgun at her forehead.
“Go back, or else, die!!!” His face was extremely stern and furious, with his handgun kept aimed at her. As long as she retreated another step, he would open fire.
Yuan Yi was truly anxious. She looked at the dark expression on Zhang Xiao Qiang’s face and looked behind at the D-type continuously smashing the door. In the end, she looked at the half of the spear still in her hands in despair.
“Guang Dang” A steel bar was thrown at her feet. It was precisely the steel bar that she had thrown in her panic much earlier. It seemed that Zhang Xiao Qiang had picked it up somehow and had thrown it to her.
Yuan Yi gritted her teeth and stared at Zhang Xiao Qiang, flinging the wooden spear savagely onto the floor. She then unzipped her military uniform, revealing only a small exercise bra, before bending over to pick up the steel bar.
At that moment, the door gave way with a huge rumble, and it was flung towards the left side, causing another loud bang. A large shadow loomed over.
“Ya~~~~~~” Yuan Yi held the steel bar in her right hand and screamed a challenge at the D-type, charging to face it like a gladiator from Ancient Rome.
The zombie naturally could not understand Yuan Yi’s taunt, it only knew that its right hand was pinned in front of its chest due to the Beast Horn Spear, and without its right hand, its movements were clumsy and slow. It was somewhat like an ordinary zombie right now.
Yuan Yi faced the D-type and began to dodge left and right, her footwork becoming more nimble. The D-type just ignored everything and lunged towards her. Yuan Yi made use of the fact that its right arm was useless and evaded to its right, routing behind it.
“Dang Dang Dang” She then proceeded to bash its head thrice. However, her strength was running out by then, and an attack of such minimal force was like a mosquito bite to the D-type. At this time, the D-type caught the scent of Zhang Xiao Qiang and made for him.
Seeing the D-type stepping forward to its death, Zhang Xiao Qiang felt it funny. He had arranged for it to be a duel between 2 clumsy oafs, and somehow he had to be dragged in?
“Dong” Zhang Xiao Qiang raised his leg, intending to send the D-type back to where it came from. Yi Yuan, however, took the chance to use the steel bar to pummel the kneecap of the D-type. “Ka” A loud sound rang out, and the D-type finally wobbled unsteadily.
It was enraged by Yuan Yi this time and raised its claw intending to grab her. She retreated slightly, dodging its claw by barely a hair’s breadth.
When Yuan Yi readjusted her position, the D-type had regained its center of gravity, and it stepped forwards again to grab at her. Yuan Yi immediately dodged backward.
As she retreated, she forgot to take her surroundings into consideration and as a result, she tripped over the door that was left on the ground. The D-type chased up and sent another claw, as she rolled backward all the way till she reached a corner. Her fair skin was now covered in dust and grime.
Yuan Yi stood up, her face dirty, in preparation to face the zombie again. The D-type had attacked so many times to no avail and roared out in frustration again.
“Guang Dang” Yuan Yi threw the steel bar to the ground, and raised her hands in a bare handed combat manner, watching the bulky D-type charge at her.
