Chapter 40
Just as Yun Xiaoxiao was about to push off the wall to jump, she suddenly felt weightless.0
She thought: ???0
Looking down, she realized Mu Yang had picked her up.0
No, to be precise, he hadn't picked her up, but... lifted her.0
That's right, Mu Yang had grabbed her and lifted her onto the metal path.0
Yun Xiaoxiao felt a twinge of pain in her brow.0
The feeling made her think she was like a little chick!0
It was so insulting!0
"Hey, if you ever dare to lift me up like that again, you're dead!"0
Yun Xiaoxiao put her hands on her hips and turned to glare fiercely at the 'culprit' who had lifted her.0
Mu Yang was taken aback for a moment, then broke into a bright smile.0
"Got it, little peanut."0
Just as Yun Xiaoxiao took two steps forward, a teasing voice came from behind.0
"Don't worry, little peanut. Even though your legs are short, your aura is eight feet tall. There's nothing to feel inferior about."0
Yun Xiaoxiao: !!0
If she didn't know he meant no harm, she would have smashed his head in!0
Angry, Yun Xiaoxiao stormed ahead, walking very fast.0
The contrast with Ye Lingwei in front was stark.0
One was hunched over cautiously, taking small steps.0
The other walked with her head high and chest out, her little feet stomping loudly.0
Soon, Yun Xiaoxiao caught up with Ye Lingwei.0
Already in a bad mood, she was looking for someone to vent on. Seeing the slow-moving Ye Lingwei, she immediately raised an eyebrow.0
"Are you part snail? Walking so slowly, don't think just because your name is 'Lingwei' you can dawdle. Hurry up, or if you keep blocking the way, I'll kick you to speed you up!"0
Ye Lingwei was so angry she nearly coughed up blood.0
Whether it was from anger or genuine fear that Yun Xiaoxiao might actually kick her, she quickened her pace.0
She slowly climbed down from the wall.0
As soon as she got down, her legs were shaking.0
She had to lean against the wall just to stand steady.0
Yun Xiaoxiao, on the other hand, leapt nimbly from the metal path and landed steadily.0
But as soon as she landed, she heard an unnatural sound.0
The sound came from the corridor!0
A male zombie wearing a museum staff badge charged out of the corridor with a roar.0
Yun Xiaoxiao was right at the entrance of the corridor.0
The zombie was about to pounce on her.0
Ye Lingwei's face lit up with excitement.0
She clenched her fists, inwardly cheering.0
Bite her!0
Bite her to death!!0
Mu Yang shouted worriedly.0
"Look out! Little peanut!"0
He was about to make a move.0
But before he could act, he saw Yun Xiaoxiao, in the face of danger, duck like a cat, nimbly avoiding the zombie's lunge.0
Then, she pivoted and thrust her long spear hard into the zombie's head!0
Instantly, the zombie's brains splattered out!0
Yun Xiaoxiao stepped on the zombie's head and pulled out her spear.0
Her movements were both cool and stylish.0
Seeing this, everyone had a sudden realization.0
They finally understood how this child of just a few years old had managed to survive in the cruel post-apocalyptic world!0
With her agile movements, quick reflexes, and the courage to face terrifying zombies without even blinking,0
Not to mention the incredible strength she showed earlier when she kicked in the glass door at the hotel entrance.0
Of course she could survive!0
They asked themselves honestly, could they do what she did?0
Mu Yang smiled, thinking this little peanut never ceased to amaze.0
Ye Lingwei was furious.0
How could she survive even this? She had such incredible luck!0
Seeing the looks of admiration Mu Yang and the others were giving Yun Xiaoxiao, she felt very bitter.0
Just then, she saw Zhu Jing walking over.0
It was the woman whose hand was injured, who she had said was scratched by a zombie.0
After all this time, she still hadn't turned?0
Generally speaking, when bitten by a zombie, the transformation is extremely fast.0
Depending on individual physiology, it can happen anywhere from a few seconds to about ten minutes.0
When scratched by a zombie, the virus's incubation period is longer.0
At the shortest, it might be a few dozen minutes; at the longest, it could be a day or two.0
Her eyes darkened. If the woman really hadn't been bitten by a zombie, wouldn't everything she had done earlier be a joke?0
The people in the group would surely look down on her even more.0
And that wrongly accused Zhu Jing would definitely hold a grudge, maybe even cause trouble for her sometime.0
No, she had to think of a way out of this.0
Just then, her gaze fell on the zombie with its brains splattered nearby.0
Her eyes narrowed slightly.0
Got it!0
She casually stood up, pretending to look at the people walking this way.0
In reality, she was slowly inching towards the zombie.0
Taking advantage of the moment when Yun Xiaoxiao was busy wiping her spear tip, she quickly crouched down and used a tissue to dab some of the zombie's brain matter.0
She had calculated everything beforehand, so her movements were swift.0
She thought she had done it flawlessly, with no one noticing.0
However, although Yun Xiaoxiao was wiping her spear tip, she was always alert to her surroundings.0
So, none of Ye Lingwei's movements had escaped her notice.0
A smile curled at the corner of Yun Xiaoxiao's lips.0
Oh, what trick was she up to now?0
After coming down, Zhu Jing was also quite shaken.0
She was about to find a place to sit and rest when Ye Lingwei walked over to her.0
Because of what happened earlier, she had a grudge against Ye Lingwei and didn't want to deal with her.0
So she turned her back, facing the other way.0
Rebuffed, Ye Lingwei's eyes flashed with malice.0
She gave a cold laugh, then quickly put on an apologetic smile and stepped in front of Zhu Jing.0
"Sister Jing, I'm so sorry. I was impulsive earlier. I was just too scared, that's why I said those things."0
Ye Lingwei lowered her head slightly, appearing genuinely remorseful.0
"Sister Jing, you're a big person who doesn't hold grudges against small people like me. Please forgive me. I'm not good with words, I didn't think it through, I deserve to be punished."0
As she spoke, Ye Lingwei started slapping her own mouth hard.0
As if she wouldn't stop unless Zhu Jing forgave her.0
"Alright, alright, I forgive you," Zhu Jing sighed, giving in.0
"But next time, don't be so impulsive and wrongly accuse people. I know you're worried and scared, I am too, but even if you have suspicions, you should check properly. You can't just condemn everyone."0
"Yes, yes, yes, I'll remember. It won't happen again."0
Ye Lingwei's attitude in admitting her mistake was so good that Zhu Jing felt a little better.0
It was at this moment that Ye Lingwei took out a band-aid.0
"Sister Jing, I have a band-aid here. Even though your wound is just a scratch, you still need to be careful. It would be terrible if it got infected with the zombie virus. You'd better cover it up."0
As she spoke, she was already opening the band-aid.0
She looked completely kind-hearted, thinking only of Zhu Jing's well-being.0
"Well... thank you, that's very thoughtful of you."0
Zhu Jing smiled, touched by Ye Lingwei's consideration.0
Just as the band-aid was about to touch Zhu Jing's wound, Ye Lingwei's hand was stopped by a small hand.0
