The girl, as if just awakening from a dream, threw away the gun. As the rope appeared before her eyes, she instantly grabbed the rope thrown by Ruan Qing.
Then she was forcefully pulled towards the door.
The girl initially wanted to stand up, but it was evidently impossible. Xie Xuanlan’s speed was just too fast, and she was directly dragged away.
She collided with an obstacle, causing blood to spill, but the girl dared not let go.
The bloodstains on the man’s back, which she had just hit, had completely disappeared, and even a bullet had popped out directly.
The man was a monster.
Just like those zombies, he was a monster. Even shooting his heart wouldn’t kill him.
The moment Ruan Qing threw the rope, he prepared himself to use all his strength to pull it.
He knew long ago that he couldn’t hold on to the rope, so he firmly tied it to his left hand, forming a dead knot.
Even if his left hand became useless, it wouldn’t affect him much.
Anyway, his body was already useless, and his right hand was enough for him to use.
Seeing this, Xie Xuanlan didn’t let Ruan Qing pull the rope, but instead used his hand to hook the rope and effortlessly pulled it in.
Then, with a gentle tug, he pulled the girl over.
After the girl was pulled over by Xie Xuanlan, Ruan Qing quickly took out the gun and used it to shoot several bullets towards Yan San’s heart.
This slowed down Yan San’s movements once again.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xie Xuanlan put one hand around Ruan Qing’s waist and the other hand pulled the back of the girl’s clothes. The three of them disappeared into the supermarket.
Xie Xuanlan’s car was parked on the other side of the unfinished building, and it was running out of gas. It was simply not suitable to continue using it.
As Xie Xuanlan held her tightly, the girl struggled to breathe because her clothes were constricting. She pointed with difficulty towards a car nearby.
“I... my...”
“I have... the keys...”
Xie Xuanlan instantly rushed towards the car, while the girl struggled to take out the keys from her pocket and unlocked the car.
Xie Xuanlan stuffed Ruan Qing into the driver’s seat, got in himself, and quickly started the car.
The speed indicated no intention of waiting for the girl to slowly get into the car.
Seeing this, the girl widened her eyes and immediately opened the back door of the car, diving in directly.
At the moment she lunged in, the car shot out like an arrow released from a bow, without even waiting for her to close the door.
If the girl hadn’t tightly held onto the handle of the door on the other side, she might have been thrown out.
As the car drove away, a person appeared at the spot where the car had just stopped.
It was Yan San.
At this moment, he had no signs of injury.
Only the torn pajamas showed faint traces of the injuries he had just sustained.
Yan San watched the car gradually disappear into the darkness. He clicked his tongue disapprovingly, tidied his disheveled hair, somewhat displeased.
Run.
He wanted to see where they could run to.
The girl struggled to move after getting into the car, then struggled to close the door. She looked back at the man standing still, her heart pounding.
Even though they were in the car, and should be relatively safe, the speed didn’t slow down.
But the man standing there exuded a terrifying pressure.
Fortunately, the man didn’t chase after them.
Ruan Qing, watching Yan San disappear in the rearview mirror, breathed a sigh of relief. He turned to the girl, “Are you... okay?”
The girl didn’t seem okay. Tears streamed down her face as soon as she couldn’t see the man anymore, her hands trembling.
She even felt pain all over her body.
After all, she had collided with something and was not lightly injured. Her whole body was now covered in blood.
But she knew the man and the young man really couldn’t stop and wait for her. If they had been just a second slower, they probably wouldn’t have been able to leave at all.
The girl was grateful that the young man hadn’t given up on her in such a situation.
She wanted to express her gratitude to the other.
But when the girl opened her mouth, she couldn’t speak. Instead, she cried even harder because of the care in the young man’s words.
Tears kept flowing. Shen kept crying until she couldn’t speak at all.
That was a sense of relief that came from being cared for, no longer needing to be strong.
The girl didn’t know what was wrong with her. Clearly, the young man didn’t look older than her.
But she couldn’t help it.
Ruan Qing lightly pursed his lips and took out a tissue from his bag, handing it over.
In the end, Ruan Qing simply listened quietly as the girl cried, showing no impatience or disturbance.
After all, crying out was much better than holding it in.
For players like them, this world was just a seven-day instance.
But for this world, it had now changed to this.
In just a short day, everything had transformed beyond recognition, becoming incredibly terrifying.
It was too real.
Real to the point where it felt like a real world.
Whether it was malice, kindness, or the ambiguous gray area between pure good and evil.
It was more real than all the previous instances.
Ruan Qing lowered his eyes slightly, unconsciously tapping the car dashboard in front of him.
No, the previous instances weren’t unreal, it’s just that there were too few people.
Most of them were either players or key NPCs, and he didn’t have much contact with other people.
Nor did he have many opportunities to do so.
But this apocalypse was different because the instance map was too large and there were no focal points.
It was simply a matter of fleeing for their lives everywhere they went.
That’s why he encountered so many people along the way.
This instance could be said to be completely different from the previous ones.
Was it because he teamed up with a team to enter the instance?
So the instance he went to was the instance chosen by the team, not one selected by the game’s main system?
Regardless, Ruan Qing could feel the main game system’s intentions more clearly.
It wanted the character he’s playing to die in this instance.
Stronger than ever before.
Ruan Qing began to suspect whether there was a problem with the previous instance. What exactly happened after he used the book?
It seemed different from what he had anticipated.
Did he really leave the instance because the plan worked?
The girl cried for a while before finally feeling better. She wiped her tears and gratefully spoke to Ruan Qing, “Thank you, thank you.”
Ruan Qing shook his head. “I should be thanking you. If it wasn’t for your help, I wouldn’t have been able to escape.”
Perhaps Ruan Qing’s voice and tone were too gentle. The girl felt like crying again, but she immediately shook her head and, filled with self-blame and regret, said, “No, if it wasn’t for my ex-boyfriend exposing your location...”
The girl’s voice was full of self-blame and regret. As she spoke, she choked up again.
“That’s not your fault.” Ruan Qing softly interrupted the girl’s words, “You don’t have to bear the actions of others on your own shoulders.”
The girl had initially wanted to cry, but upon hearing Ruan Qing’s words, she paused, then nodded in agreement. “You’re right, that stupid ex-boyfriend of mine. I can’t believe I risked my life to stand in front of him!”
“I really must have been blind to have gotten involved with such a jerk.”
The girl’s name was Jiang Shuyu. Originally, she had just come here to play with her boyfriend.
But unexpectedly, they encountered zombies and had to hide in the supermarket.
At first, it was relatively peaceful, until another wave of people arrived.
It was the group led by the bald man, who directly took over the supermarket upon their arrival.
They even resorted to violence against the people in the supermarket.
If it weren’t for Ruan Qing and Xie Xuanlan happening to arrive, they probably would have died at the hands of that group.
After Jiang Shuyu calmed down, she once again expressed her gratitude to Ruan Qing and Xie Xuanlan.
Ruan Qing was about to say something, but Xie Xuanlan directly pinched his cheek and turned his head back.
Expressionless, Xie Xuanlan spoke, “Stop chatting, it’s distracting me from driving.”
Ruan Qing had no choice but to sit quietly, and Jiang Shuyu didn’t speak anymore either.
Only the sound of the car driving remained.
Ruan Qing’s clothes were already dirty and needed to be changed.
And Jiang Shuyu’s clothes were also stained with blood, which could easily attract zombies, so they had to change into clean clothes.
By now, it was almost dawn. Xie Xuanlan directly avoided the zombies and parked the car in front of a clothing store.
The girl, as if just awakening from a dream, threw away the gun. As the rope appeared before her eyes, she instantly grabbed the rope thrown by Ruan Qing.
Then she was forcefully pulled towards the door.
The girl initially wanted to stand up, but it was evidently impossible. Xie Xuanlan’s speed was just too fast, and she was directly dragged away.
