Chapter 308: Chapter 154 Jiang Shixue_3
“Wuu wuu…”
Lying on Wang Tao’s shoulder, Li Qiuyu cried for a while, then spoke with her head lowered,
“Last night… while I had my eyes closed resting, I suddenly felt like someone was watching me. When I opened my eyes, I saw a pair of blood-red pupils, and then I realized… it was Little Xue!”
“Little Xue covered my mouth and took me outside. She then said that this place would be very dangerous and told me to run out of the county town as soon as possible…”
“I didn’t want to escape on my own, and of course, I couldn’t have gotten very far by myself. I wanted to come back and tell you all this… wuu wuu, I kindly brought you the news, and you treated me like this…”
Wang Tao automatically ignored Li Qiuyu’s complaints and stroked his chin in thought.
What kind of danger does “very dangerous” imply?
“What exactly is happening to Jiang Shixue?”
Wang Tao asked again.
Li Qiuyu fell silent for a moment, then she looked up at Wang Tao with a pleading expression and said,
“Could you not kill her, no matter what she becomes, she is still my daughter…”
Seeing Li Qiuyu like this, Wang Tao frowned slightly.
“Could it be that Jiang Shixue has turned into a zombie?”
“No! She isn’t a zombie! She’s not!”
Li Qiuyu immediately denied.
“Then what is she like? If you don’t explain it clearly, don’t blame me. Powerful zombies are not allowed near the base!”
Li Qiuyu struggled momentarily, but ultimately she revealed,
“…Little Xue, she gives me the feeling very much like a zombie, but she has her own thoughts! She recognizes me, and she can even speak! She’s not a zombie!”
Watching Li Qiuyu repeatedly emphasize that her daughter was not a zombie, Wang Tao felt that Little Xue was probably similar to Wu Fei, in that state of almost turning into a zombie but clinging to a single breath.
Wu Fei’s breath was his desire to repay Wang Tao. Little Xue’s breath, perhaps, was seeing her mother, Li Qiuyu, safe.
If that’s the case, Little Xue could very likely turn into a zombie soon…
After all, Li Qiuyu just mentioned that Little Xue told her to run away alone and did not say she would protect her and run together. An ordinary person obviously wouldn’t say such a thing…
“Bring her to me, I have some questions to ask her.”
Wang Tao said to Li Qiuyu.
He wanted to know what this “very dangerous” actually was. Without knowing the specific danger, it wouldn’t be good to run! What if he ran right into the danger?
“She’s already gone… When I woke up this morning, she was nowhere to be found…”
Li Qiuyu spoke with a painful expression on her face.
“Gone? No, she hasn’t left, she’s been watching you from the shadows!”
Wang Tao was sure that the gaze fixing on him just now was undoubtedly Li Qiuyu’s daughter.
“Ah?”
Li Qiuyu was somewhat in disbelief, yet partially thrilled.
If possible, she certainly didn’t want her daughter to leave her. Even if others saw her daughter as a monster, it was enough for her not to view her that way, not to mention her daughter was still conscious and recognized her mother!
“Let’s go, no time to delay, I’ll come with you!”
Wang Tao directly escorted Li Qiuyu to the spot where she had climbed in earlier.
Upon arrival, Wang Tao felt he was being spied on.
Not just him, even Li Qiuyu felt it too.
“Little Xue! Is that you, Little Xue? Come out, I need your help!”
Li Qiuyu called out excitedly.
After shouting for a while, her daughter did not appear, but a few ordinary zombies were attracted by the noise.
Wang Tao stepped forward, shielding Li Qiuyu, and casually dispatched these zombies with a couple of shockwaves.
Just then, Wang Tao felt something and abruptly turned around.
He saw a figure wearing a dirty hoodie, with the hood concealing the face, petite in stature, standing behind Li Qiuyu!
She lifted her head, revealing a pair of eyes that radiated a red glow.
Li Qiuyu, upon seeing Wang Tao’s movement, instinctively turned her head, and then she saw the petite figure.
“Little Xue!”
She was so excited that she hurriedly tried to hug the other person, but she was easily avoided.
“…”
There was no embarrassment on Li Qiuyu’s face, only pain.
Wang Tao watched the petite figure before him, his wariness mixed with surprise.
His guess was not wrong; this Jiang Shixue was indeed in a state similar to Wu Fei’s back then, but she was much stronger than Wu Fei!
[HP: 9000/9000]
[Mana: 8000/8000]
[Grade: Level 2]
[Internal Impurity: 100%]
[Hidden Attributes: Eyes of Contract]
[Eyes of Contract: Night Vision, control other people’s thoughts to a certain extent]
Nine thousand HP, eight thousand Mana!
Just by these attributes alone, she was the strongest human survivor Wang Tao had seen so far—if she could still be considered human.
After all, her HP bar was in a state of red and green flickering; as soon as it turned completely red, she would become a full-fledged zombie!
Then, upon seeing Jiang Shixue’s hidden attributes, some of Wang Tao’s questions were immediately answered—
The zombies attacking the base, why they suddenly stopped their assault, were most likely influenced or even controlled by Jiang Shixue! The wounds on the toad zombie could also probably have been inflicted by Jiang Shixue!
Her current state would likely affect her personality. She probably hadn’t taken action before, being very indifferent. It was after discovering Li Qiuyu in the base that she decided to act…
“Hello Jiang Shixue! Nice to meet you, my name is Wang Tao.”
Wang Tao politely extended his hand, but Jiang Shixue showed no intention of shaking hands. Wang Tao wasn’t embarrassed, in fact, he even breathed a sigh of relief. He had actually been completely on guard!
Wang Tao continued to ask:
“I heard from your mother that you said it’s going to be very dangerous here soon. Can you tell us what kind of danger is coming?”
Jiang Shixue still did not answer.
Her entire face was hidden inside a hood, and she wore a mask, so Wang Tao couldn’t see her expression, only her red eyes.
Wang Tao looked at her, and suddenly his eyes lit up—emitting a green light!
He could distinctly feel that Jiang Shixue’s eyes seemed to widen a bit, and the red glow in them brightened!
However, Jiang Shixue still remained silent.
Wang Tao had no choice but to bring Li Qiuyu into the conversation.
“If we don’t know the specific danger, I won’t be able to help your mother escape! If we run into danger, we’ll all die…”
Upon hearing this, the red glow in Jiang Shixue’s eyes fluctuated, and then she finally spoke. Her voice was hoarse, shrill, as if scratching glass.
“Monsters… are coming… you… will all die…”
As she said the word “monsters,” Jiang Shixue’s body seemed to tremble slightly, whether from fear of the monster or because she felt she had become one.
“Monsters? What kind of monsters?”
Wang Tao asked urgently.
Jiang Shixue was silent for a moment, as if organizing her words.
“Black… massive… red eyes…”
Her words were abstract, and most people might not understand, but an image suddenly appeared in Wang Tao’s mind!
That black shadow, which at the dawn of the apocalypse had ten thousand HP and nearly scared him to immobility!
“It’s that one!”
