She lowered her voice. “This doesn’t look like the road to the high-speed rail station.”
She sent a message to Butler Zhao, who was sitting in the front.
Fu Sizhe’s face was pale.
The driver asked ominously, “What are you whispering about?”
After confirming it, Butler Zhao exploded.
“This isn’t the road to the high-speed rail station at all. I’ve already called the police with one tap. I advise you to take us to the high-speed rail station immediately!”
“Ha ha ha…”
The driver laughed.
“Call the police? Do you really think anyone is going to deal with you?”
The city’s systems had collapsed. There were no pedestrians on the roads, only zombies. Who would care about them?
Since it was better to avoid unnecessary trouble, Fu Sizhe spoke.
“How much money do you need for your child’s medical treatment?”
The driver’s three-white eyes gleamed with a sinister smile.
“I don’t want money. My child is already dead. He died outside the hospital because I couldn’t afford to treat him. Now I only want to kill people.”
“You’re alone, while there are three of us,” Butler Zhao glared at him.
“You and that young woman don’t count. The only one among you who can fight is that man.”
He recalled Fu Sizhe jumping out of the car.
“Not bad skills, but they’re useless.”
The moment he finished speaking, Li Yiyi felt an excruciating pain shoot up from the soles of her feet, as if she had been electrocuted.
Electricity?
This driver was a lightning-type ability user!
He had awakened this early?
“You’re a lightning-type ability user?” Li Yiyi asked.
“Young girl, you’re pretty knowledgeable. That’s right. I can turn you into charcoal just by raising my hand.”
The driver bared his teeth in a sinister grin.
“But I don’t want you to die that easily. I want you to die in agony.”
Li Yiyi looked at Fu Sizhe.
He was the male lead of the novel, so he should not die this easily.
But she was a cannon-fodder character who should have died long ago. She was not so sure about herself.
At this point in the story, she had already become an ice popsicle being fed to penguins.
Fu Sizhe did not look well. His face was deathly pale.
Li Yiyi reached out and touched his forehead.
It was burning hot.
Fu Sizhe suddenly grabbed her hand and pressed it against his lips.
So hot.
Why had he suddenly developed such a high fever?
Li Yiyi suddenly understood.
She lifted his pant leg and, sure enough, saw three bloody scratches.
He had been scratched by a zombie while protecting her.
No wonder she had kept sensing the smell of blood lingering around her.
Someone scratched by a zombie could either turn into a zombie or awaken an ability.
Li Yiyi pulled her hand away from his lips.
The male lead would not turn into a zombie, would he?
Please, don’t bite her!
She did not know whether she would turn into a zombie if she were bitten.
If she became a zombie, everything would be over.
She would remain in this apocalypse as a walking corpse until she was finally killed.
In the novel, Fu Sizhe would awaken every type of ability and become the only person in the apocalypse to master them all. He would become the undisputed strongest combat force.
But the Fu Sizhe beside her was another matter.
She silently moved a little farther away from him.
The black Buick pulled over.
The driver got out first and stood by the roadside.
“Are you getting out yourself, or do I have to drag you out?”
As he spoke, he reached for Butler Zhao’s right leg.
“Ah!”
Butler Zhao screamed as the driver deliberately released electricity through his hand.
Li Yiyi worriedly glanced at Fu Sizhe.
She did not know when he would regain consciousness.
“Driver, he’s unconscious.”
The driver grinned.
“Looks like heaven is on my side. This man looked so strong, but who would have thought he was such a weakling? I actually shocked him unconscious.”
“Driver, do you know the Fu Family in Beijing? He’s the heir of the Fu Family, their only son. If you let him go, he can give you a lot of money.”
The driver seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world.
“Hahaha. So he’s a rich man. I love torturing and killing people from the upper class. They usually act so superior, but in the apocalypse, they’re nothing but ants.”
“Money? What use is money now? I don’t need it!”
Li Yiyi was completely at a loss now, but she had to stall for time until Fu Sizhe woke up.
“You’ve never seen a krill as big as a house, have you? I’ll show you.”
Li Yiyi tried to arouse his curiosity.
Bang!
She was struck on the back of the head with a stick.
“You little bitch, you’re pretty, but you’re so damn noisy. Get out quickly and have some fun with me.”
Li Yiyi clung tightly to the broken right-side car door.
She refused to get out.
“If you don’t come out, I’ll kill your companion right now.”
As he spoke, he grabbed Butler Zhao by the throat.
Butler Zhao’s face became flushed and swollen from lack of air. He kept shaking his head at her.
Li Yiyi had originally been unwilling to leave the car, but she hesitated now.
Helping another human being was instinctive.
Suddenly, her ears began ringing.
She saw something rapidly approaching in the distance.
“There are zombies behind you!” Li Yiyi shouted.
A large group of zombies wearing school uniforms emerged from an alley and sprinted toward them.
The driver threw Butler Zhao to the ground and hurled several bolts of lightning at the zombies.
The zombies were blasted far away.
This was the power of an able user.
The saviors of another world, capable of taking on ten enemies at once.
Butler Zhao took the opportunity to climb into the car.
“Get in from the left! From the left!” Li Yiyi shouted.
Hearing her, Butler Zhao got into the driver’s seat from the left, slammed his foot down on the accelerator, and sent the black Buick speeding away.
Through the rearview mirror, they saw the driver stamping his feet anxiously.
Li Yiyi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She looked at the red marks around Butler Zhao’s neck.
“Are you all right?”
Butler Zhao’s throat was already hoarse from being strangled.
“I’m not going to die. Cough, cough. How is President Fu?”
“He was bitten by a zombie. He still hasn’t woken up.”
Butler Zhao’s expression became solemn.
“You’re not afraid?”
Only then did Li Yiyi realize that she was half-embracing Fu Sizhe in her arms.
“I’m not afraid.”
Butler Zhao’s face showed a hint of disdain.
“I’ve always believed that only the most outstanding and intelligent woman could be worthy of President Fu. I still think so now. Other than your looks, you have nothing going for you.”
Li Yiyi did not know what to say, so she remained silent.
What she was like did not need to be judged by someone else.
“That’s not entirely true. You’re not completely useless. At least you haven’t abandoned President Fu.”
“Anyway, in my eyes, only Miss Ruixue is worthy of President Fu.”
Ruixue was Fu Sizhe’s destined female lead.
When that time came, if they truly loved each other, Li Yiyi would obediently stay by their side and survive until the end, then return to the real world.
“You’re not angry? That makes sense. You don’t like President Fu anyway, so you wouldn’t be angry.”
Li Yiyi snapped irritably, “Butler Zhao, stop being so talkative.”
Butler Zhao wisely shut his mouth.
If they hurried there as quickly as possible, they still had a chance of catching the high-speed train.
Butler Zhao drove extremely fast, yet steadily.
Li Yiyi remembered that the novel had mentioned Butler Zhao was Ruixue’s biggest fan.
Li Yiyi sent a message to her family to let them know she was safe.
She could clearly feel that the network was becoming increasingly unstable. Even in the city, messages now took a long time to send.
On the way, they saw a mother and son selling roasted sweet potatoes.
Out of kindness, Li Yiyi shouted loudly, “Go home quickly! Don’t come outside! There are zombies!”
The woman selling roasted sweet potatoes rolled her eyes at her.
“Young people these days shouldn’t spread alarmist nonsense. The authorities already clarified that they aren’t zombies. They’re just a few mentally ill people. Don’t interfere with my business.”
The next second, a zombie rushed out of the alley and bit through her neck.
Li Yiyi quickly closed the car window, narrowly avoiding getting splattered with blood.
“Why interfere in other people’s affairs? Don’t meddle with other people’s karma.”
Li Yiyi mimicked him.
“Yeah. Why interfere in other people’s affairs?”
Butler Zhao curled his lips and said nothing more.
Li Yiyi suddenly felt something move in her arms.
Fu Sizhe had woken up.
