To Rise Again In The Apocalypse - Chapter 121

Scream erupted and panic ensues. Li Xinwen grits his teeth and took out a small dagger from the space ring. “Everyone! Get behind me quick!” Li Xinwen yelled out as he walked over to the zombie, making sure to infuse his spiritual energy through his voice so that it would be heard despite all the noise.

Those who heard him, quickly went behind him but unfortunately, there are few who are hard headed and tried to save their friends. And they, naturally fell victim to the zombie. ‘If it were not because I need to hide my strength, I could kill this zombie in a second.’

The first person who were bitten had by now, turned into a zombie too. Li Xinwen assumed that because he died from the bite and thus, it was easier for the demonic qi to take over the body. ‘How many seconds was that? 10?’ Li Xinwen thought.

Those staffs who were injured by the first zombie had now became wary. Especially after seeing the friend who was bitten on the neck standing up and that he joined the first zombies on feasting on their fellow crew member. Li Xinwen held the dagger tightly in a reverse grip as he approached the zombies.

In one move, Li Xinwen aimed the sharp dagger through the back of the first zombie’s skull. Seeing that his friend were killed, the second zombie turned his attention to Li Xinwen and attempted to attack him. Unfortunately, Li Xinwen had already calculated his move. After stabbing the zombie, he quickly pulled the dagger away and proceeded to drive the dagger between the second zombie’s eyebrow.

Pulling out the dagger, Li Xinwen then looked at the corpse that was eaten. He could see the demonic qi gathering on it, and knew that it will soon turn into a zombie. If Li Xinwen destroyed the brain now, it won’t have a chance to be a zombie. He was just about to do it when a thought suddenly crossed his mind which made him put off in killing the soon to be zombie corpse.

People who saw this scene, stared at Li Xinwen in disbelief. Then, a woman pointed at him. ���K-killed… he killed them…”

This woman was one of the person who was scratched by the zombie earlier. Li Xinwen could see that she would be done for. Thinking of it, Li Xinwen thought that he might as well kill the injured off now before they cause him trouble. He approached them and the woman earlier could sense her impending death. The rest seems to notice it too and they took a step back with each step Li Xinwen takes.

“T-Teacher Li… are you going to kill me too?” she asked fearfully, tears that pooled inside her eyes now cascades freely down her cheek.

“En. After all, soon you will also become zombies,” Li Xinwen replied calmly.

“Don’t joke around! Just because you filmed a movie about zombies before…” the person who said this was a man, and Li Xinwen remembered him to be the person who gave him water during the talk show.

“Teacher Li, zombies doesn’t exist… and what you did just now… is murder. You have just killed two people. Spare us, and we will help testify to the police that what you’ve done is only a self defense…” another of the injured spoke up.

“After seeing that, you still don’t believe in zombies’ existence?” Li Xinwen gestured at the two zombies from before. “You three were injured from trying to save your friends before. One, died as a result. If you remember how the second zombie was formed, then you should already know in your heart that after being bitten or scratched by a zombie, you will turn into one once your time is up,” he explained.

“No! I… these are all knowledge from your movie! What if I didn’t become one? Teacher Li, you can’t just kill us just because of that!” the man who gave him water said.

At this time, An Yunxu had also approached them. His face was pale and looked at Li Xinwen fearfully. “Xiao Wen… you… I’ve said before, you should hurry and pull out from your role. Now what have you done?”

This question of his made several others who had witnessed what happened before to look at Li Xinwen with eyes filled with judgement. By now, their mind simply thought that Li Xinwen was still deep in his role from his recent movies so he was unable to separate the fiction and reality.

“Senior An, are you saying that I shouldn’t have killed them?” he asked as he looked at his dagger. The blood on it wasn’t dark red as it should have been but instead, it was pitch black. This is a sign that the body from before was poisoned with demonic qi.

“Of course you shouldn’t have killed them! At most, you should just restrain them and let the police handle the rest,” An Yunxu replied in a righteous tone.

“Try to restrain them and end up with that poor brother over there with his guts out in the open?” Li Xinwen asked back as he pointed at the corpse that had been feasted on by the two zombies before. Though Li Xinwen was quick to kill them, the damage done on that corpse was enough to make someone sick.

His stomach was ripped open, and his intestines were pulled out. There was also a large chunk of flesh missing on his throat. Over all, no one will be able to survive such wound. But of course, now that it is the apocalypse, the supposed dead body has now started to move.

“Everyone should look carefully. This is your reality now,” Li Xinwen said out loud as he turned to face the new zombie. He was about to walk over and approach the zombie when another idea popped up. If things goes as it is, he thought that maybe these people will continue to cause him trouble in the future. So in the end, Li Xinwen just dropped the dagger on the floor and walked away.

“W-wait! Where are you going?” An Yunxu asked as he watched Li Xinwen going to the exit.

“Since you guys don’t want me to kill the zombie, then I won’t kill it. Go ahead and restrain it,” Li Xinwen replied.

“But…” An Yunxu turned back to the new zombie who is now slowly walking towards them. His intestines that were still connected to his gaping stomach trailed on the floor. Just the scene alone wants to make An Yunxu threw up his lunch.

Forcing his vomit down, An Yunxu quickly hid behind the director. “Director, do something…”

The director didn’t reply and only looked over at Li Xinwen who stood in a relaxed manner, his back leaning on the door to the exit. “Teacher Li… earlier, you said this is now our reality. Are you saying that our world is now infested with zombies? Did you know about this? Is that why you shot that movie?”

Li Xinwen didn’t reply and merely shrugged his shoulder. Then he quickly pointed at the still living zombie. “Look at him again, and think it over. Can a normal person still be alive after suffering injuries like his?”

Of course, everyone already knew the answer. It was impossible.

“Right now, I believe there are more zombies outside. I plan to leave here and return home. I have given you a chance of survival so use it well,” Li Xinwen said, referring to the dagger that he dropped.

He stood up straight and was about to reach the handle when someone called out to him. “Wait! Xiao Wen, since we live in the same residential area… can you take me along?”

It was none other than An Yunxu. He was looking at Li Xinwen with a pleading look.

“No.”

Li Xinwen’s answer was short and decisive.

“Why?!” An Yunxu couldn’t believe what Li Xinwen was saying and quickly asked. “Are you just going to escape alone and go to safety on your own, leaving us here to fend of for ourselves?”Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%5Bbl%5D_14640041906106405/chapter-38.3_50365973210908375 for visiting.

Li Xinwen let out a heavy sigh and turned back towards them. Behind them, he saw the zombie who was still walking slowly, struggling to advance with his innards trailing behind. ‘I heard from Hua-jie that a level 0 zombies are slow but… are they really this slow?’

“Fine. I can lead you guys out. But, I want you to deal with that zombie first,” Li Xinwen said out loud.

“You… want us to kill?” this time, it was the director who asked.

“It’s either kill or be killed,” Li Xinwen replied. ���Look, I am not a saint. The more I linger here, the more worried I am for my family. If you won’t do as I say, then I will just leave you guys here.”
