Wear a Thriller To Protect the Boss - Chapter 24
City Communication University has a landmark observation tower, which is about the height of 30 stories. The top of the tower has a peculiar shape, like a pair of open wings.
It is said that the history of this tower is much longer than that of this university, but when the school was founded, it was included in the school’s land area, and the city media has become a semi-famous attraction every month. Open for a few days for tourists from all over the world to visit.
However, the beautiful campus in the past turned into a smoky **** with corpses everywhere in just 12 hours.
Huo Yinting and Pei Yi rushed all the way until they broke into the dilapidated school gate.
Eyes full of blood under the moonlight, she looked at the students and zombies running away, and dialed Song Xing’s phone.
The bell rang for more than ten seconds before Song Xing finally picked it up, still crying in his voice.
“Miss Huo, are you here? If you don’t come, you can only collect the corpses for us…”
“Where are you?”
“Where is… Mr. Zhou?”
Then Zhou Tu replied out of breath: “The library on the first floor of the Si Xue Building, knocked on the door three times when you came in, and gave the signal.”
“understood.”
Huo Yinting hung up the phone and waved to Pei Yi: “Library, here.”
The gunfire was easily concealed in the chaotic campus. In the process of clearing the zombies in the way, the gun in Pei Yi’s hand ran out of bullets again.
He threw away the empty gun, picked up the tennis racket dropped by an unknown student, and then glanced at Huo Yinting beside him.
“I never saw you charge a gun with bullets.”
“…” Huo Yinting had just hit a zombie with its teeth and claws. Her expression was slightly stagnant, but she quickly recovered her calm, “My gun is not an ordinary gun, so I don’t need to store bullets.”
“No matter how good a gun is, there is no reason for unlimited bullets.”
In fact, Pei Yi has cared about this question for a long time, but at this moment, he finally decided to ask.
However, he did not intend to ask the question to the end, even if she was unwilling to answer, he chose to respect and accept it.
Seeing Huo Yinting’s silence, he calmly averted his gaze, as if talking to her, but also like talking to himself.
“Maybe, guns are not ordinary guns, and people are not ordinary people.”
He was able to meet her because it was originally a lucky event with extremely low probability. Life experience is already so unusual. It’s okay to keep a secret, why should he be too persistent?
The two walked towards the thinking building one after another. Huo Yinting’s footsteps were a little slow. She looked at his upright and determined back, and her heart was mixed for a while, and she couldn’t say what emotions it was.
Sooner or later, they will be separated, so there is no need to tell him some truths. Even if she can sugar coat the truth, she will still be cruel and hurt.
What she was going to walk was originally a cruel road.
The library is already here.
There were four or five students in the hallway. They seemed to mutate shortly after being bitten, swaying, and not yet fully adapting to this rigid body—the young and fresh life, which ended without warning.
But it’s too late to have mercy. This kind of thing has long been used to it.
Pei Yi simply knocked down the two in front of him. Huo Yinting stood behind him and shot the remaining three. She stepped forward and knocked on the library door three times in a rhythmic manner.
The antique wooden door was slowly pushed open, and Song Xing’s delicate face stained with blood appeared behind the door.
Song Xing quickly turned sideways to let them in, with a tone of joy and rejoicing for the rest of his life.
“Miss Huo, Mr. Pei, have you got the medicine?”
“Got it, the medicine is real.”
“Very good!”
Bai Yu, who was sitting in the corner with her knees, seemed to be relieved, but she did not dare to step forward to condolences, she was afraid Huo Yinting would pierce her other hand.
Zhou Tu was carrying a **** baseball bat in his left hand and a fruit knife in his right hand. Obviously he had experienced a fierce battle just now. He couldn’t help sighing when he saw Huo Yinting look over.
“You two have worked hard.”
“You have worked hard, too.” Huo Yinting said, “Why hide in the library instead of going to the watchtower?”
Zhou Tu’s expression suddenly darkened: “The watchtower can’t go to it at all.”
“Um?”
“Mr. Zhou was right.” Song Xing explained in a small voice, “The students of City Media also heard the broadcast, and the nearby residents were all crazy and wanted to go up to the watchtower, but…there were also many zombies. Bite, go is a death.”
The surviving humans are eager to survive, but can’t match the siege of the zombies, so the team of zombies continues to grow-how easy is it to break through and climb to the top of the 30-story tower?
“Then you can’t stay here forever, now the watchtower is your only chance. You can only survive until the helicopter is rescued.”
Song Xing said in surprise: “We?”
“…I also included.” Huo Yinting replied ambiguously, and then reopened the library door, “Let’s go, don’t waste time.”
Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, there is only one way left to try.
Everyone has weapons in their hands, and Bai Yu also clutched an iron pipe that was removed from a convenience store chair. She walked at the end, covering the scars on the back of her hand with her sleeves. After a long while, she finally mustered up the courage and whispered. .
“Miss Huo.”
Huo Yinting in front did not look back: “Say.”
“I know that the death of my parents is actually not your fault.”
Huo Yinting sneered: “I never thought it was my fault. For you, I did not miss anything-including killing Zhang Ting.”
“…”
“I have kept you alive, and you should be sincerely grateful.”
If it were not for the rigid requirement of the system to respect the direction and setting of the story, and not to malignantly harm the original heroine, Bai Yu would not survive the first three days in her hands.
Bai Yu clenched the iron pipe tightly, and finally held back his tears this time: “I…I just want to say that you and Pei Yi match well. I used to rely on the Bai family to help him, and it tire him a lot, hope From now on…”
“You don’t have a stand to say such things.” Huo Yinting’s footsteps did not stop, but there were signs of faint speeding up. Her tone was indifferent, “What’s more, I have no future with him.”
No matter how the story of this parallel world ends, there will be no future for her and him.
The dirty blood was splashed with the blue-gray wall bricks at the bottom of the watchtower, the stumps of limbs were broken, and the scattered corpses covered the winding steps.
The zombies wandering there are like locusts that appear in groups after the rain. They are searching for humans for hunting. Some students boldly want to rush over, but they are screamed every minute. He died when he didn’t.
It’s impossible to get in through the gate, even if it is explosives, it is difficult to wipe out such a large number of zombies, and going to means death.
Pei Yi raised his head and looked at the top of the watchtower that stretched into the clouds, his eyes were cold, he said, “Climb up directly.”
Song Xing said in surprise: “Climb up?”
The predecessors built the watchtower because of the dual considerations of beauty and sturdiness. On the body of the tower, iron rings of uniform shape were scattered and laid out. Although the area is not wide, it can be stepped on by one foot.
Bai Yu was unbelievable: “That is to say…we are going to climb with bare hands…to the top of the tower?”
“You can also not climb.” Huo Yinting apparently agreed with Pei Yi’s proposal. She had already begun to arrange her sleeves and belt.
Pei Yi didn’t speak, nor glanced at Bai Yu. He naturally pushed Song Xing forward and gave priority to protecting the youngest.
“Stop your breath and don’t be nervous.”
It is of course false to say that he is not nervous, but Song Xing bravely took the first step, stepping on the iron ring desperately with his hands and feet, and climbing up.
Then there is the sequence of Huo Yinting, Pei Yi, Bai Yu, and Zhou Tu. In order to avoid mutual interference caused by the speed, everyone moved a little bit apart horizontally.
The night wind roared, and the cold moon shone on several people, like a spotlight for close-ups when they were on the verge of despair in the movie.
Under the pressure of this kind of physical and mental pressure, physical strength is exhausted, and the tense string in my mind suddenly breaks, in fact, it is only a momentary thing.
For example, Bai Yu, how could she persist for so long?
“Zhou Tu…” The wound on her hand was so painful that she raised her head with choking, looking at Zhou Tu in front of her, “I seem to be about to… fall…”
Zhou Tu heard these words clearly, and his body was shocked: “Xiao Yu, hold on, I will find a way!”
“Is there any way…Forget it…I don’t want to drag Pei Yi, who has been dragging on for so long, to drag you down again…”
Grasping Houhuan’s hand, he was slowly relaxing, Bai Yu was silent for a long time, as if he had completely looked away, and his tone of voice became a lot easier at that moment.
She said: “I also depended on everyone’s charity to survive until now. This is about… the retribution I deserve.”
You can’t climb to the top of the tower yourself. People like yourself don’t deserve to climb to the top of the tower.
Just give up, go to mom and dad, and Tingting.
She let go of her hand calmly, leaning back, like a kite with a broken thread, falling to the bottom of the tower lightly.
The blood was filled, the nearby zombies foraging rushed up, and instantly gnawed her into a complete body.
“Little Feather—!!!”
Huo Yinting heard Zhou Tu’s sorrow, and her subconscious movement stagnated, but at the same time she heard Pei Yi stop in a deep voice.
“Don’t look back.”
“…She fell?”
“Um.”
The word “um” is exactly what Pei Yi gave.
Sorry? Are you sad? There are some.
However, there is no way, this is fate, everyone has fate, he has tried his best until he is disappointed and chilled, and the remaining warmth is also consumed, and he has never owed Bai Yu anything.
There are always people passing away, but the survivors still have to live well.
“Yin Ting, try to kick that window open,”
The window on the 12th floor of the observation tower was just a stone’s throw from Huo Yinting’s toes. Perhaps they could enter the observation tower through this window.
When it was said that it was too late, Huo Yinting clenched the iron ring on his head tightly and shook his whole body with strength, and he just kicked 12 layers of glass with his feet.
And she herself swam directly into the corridor on the 12th floor, and Pei Yi followed closely behind her and dragged Song Xing back in when she heard the sound.
There was only one desolate Zhou Tu. He climbed a few steps up again, trembling as he wanted to climb in from the window. Unexpectedly, the next moment, a lurking zombie suddenly appeared out of the darkness, rushed forward and bit him. His neck.
Everything happened in an instant, and the three people here didn’t even have time to rescue. Song Xing exclaimed, “Mr. Zhou!”
“Hurry up—”
This was the last word left to them by Zhou Tu. He gritted his teeth, using force with both hands, and suddenly dragged the zombie down, and the two-way tower fell from the bottom.
Song Xing desperately wanted to step forward to check, but Huo Yinting grabbed him and covered his eyes.
Huo Yinting looked down sadly and looked at his metal watch.
The system did not show any abnormal prompts, which showed that the deaths of Zhou Tu and Bai Yu, the original male and female masters, did not affect her final mission determination.
In other words, probably in the original ending of the story, in addition to Pei Yi, the hero and the heroine also died in this disaster.
It’s the direction of the annihilation of the entire army.
Looking at the center of the watch, the red dot on the top of the watch tower is constantly flashing, and it should be that the rescue helicopter is approaching.
She didn’t have time to think more, and immediately pushed Song Xing decisively.
“Go, go to the top of the tower.”
Song Xing tearfully threw away his backpack, leaving only the last fruit knife he found from the convenience store. He whispered: “Miss Huo, Mr. Pei, I hope I can survive with you.”
Pei Yi patted him on the shoulder, with a calm tone: “I hope too.”
The light in the observation tower was dim. With the faint moonlight shining in from the window, the three of them climbed the steep stairs for a while, trying their best to head towards the top of the tower.
Until the 28th floor, the situation was relatively smooth. After all, the watchtower was too high, and most of the zombies were concentrated in the lower floors, and few climbed up.
But when Huo Yinting opened the door on the 28th floor, she was shocked to find that this floor was actually full of zombies dressed as tourists, with a total of 30 or 40 people.
It is inferred by common sense that there should be virus carriers who followed the tour group to this level. After mutation, they destroyed the whole group and left them all here.
At the moment, there is no choice but to break the boat and break through.
“Song Xing.” Pei Yi took the knife in Song Xing’s hand, handed him his tennis racket, and whispered, “Follow us.”
He and Huo Yinting stood in front of Song Xing one by one, in an out-and-out protective posture.
Song Xing’s eyes were hot, as if he was about to cry: “…Okay.”
Huo Yinting suddenly flew up and kicked the wooden chair in the corner towards the group of zombies, and then fired continuously without any bullets. Every shot had a zombies falling to the ground.
Pei Yi’s figure turned sharply, bullied a zombie in front of him like lightning, hooped the neck bone and suddenly exerted force, he directly screwed off the other’s head, and then made a sharp backhand, piercing the blade deeply into the eyebrow of another zombie. .
“Song Xing, go upstairs first!”
Song Xing got Huo Yinting’s instructions, and took advantage of the chaos, clinging to the wall, crawling to the 29th floor of stairs.
He knocked down a zombie with a tennis racket, couldn’t help looking back, and cried out in mourning.
“Mr. Pei, Miss Huo!”
But the figures of Huo Yinting and Pei Yi were soon overwhelmed by the group of zombies.
Wiping his tears, he rushed towards the top of the tower with all his strength. The gate to the top of the tower was already close in front of him, and he pushed it open with both arms.
In the thick night in the distance, a light is gradually approaching. It is a helicopter coming to search and rescue.
He walked a few steps forward, then looked back hesitantly.
At the same time, he also heard the rapid and messy footsteps behind him.
Huo Yinting and Pei Yi finally rushed out of the siege and appeared in his line of sight, followed by a group of zombies chasing after them.
Before the zombies came, the three of them closed the door of the rooftop, resisted desperately, and locked the door firmly.
The zombies crowded me, slapped the glass on the door angrily, and might break out at any time.
“Helicopter is coming!” Song Xing ran to the center of the rooftop, standing in the moonlight and waving his arms desperately, “Here! Here we are!”
The hovering helicopter detected the existence of living bodies, slowly descended to the edge of the roof, and hung down the rescue ladder.
Several heavily armed soldiers in the cabin also pointed their guns at the rooftop gate not far away.
Pei Yi motioned Song Xing to go first, but when he looked back for Huo Yinting, he saw Huo Yinting step back and kept a distance from him.
“…What’s the matter with you?” The warning sign in his heart was abrupt, and he subconsciously wanted to pull her hand, but she avoided him.
Huo Yinting looked at him with a relieved sadness. The night wind blew her eyes red and also blew her loose long hair.
On her shoulders near her neck, the zombie’s tooth prints are clearly visible, and there is still blood flowing out, dyeing her black coat.
She was bitten by a zombie in the melee just now, but the environment was dim and he didn’t notice it.
She said: “I’m so sorry, I can’t go with you anymore.”
The heartache hit, making Pei Yi almost a little unstable to stand. He raised his head with difficulty, staring at her for a moment, the light and shadow in his eyes faded away, deep pain and despair.
Of all the hypothetical endings, this is the most unacceptable one.
He muttered: “If you don’t go, I won’t go either.”
Huo Yinting thought, even if it was for these words, it would not be in vain to travel this time by himself.
But no, he has to live, even if he lives in a future without her.
“Don’t be stupid.” She sighed and walked slowly towards the edge of the rooftop, trying to make her tone more indifferent, “Actually, I have come this far for myself, not for you-I want to protect you, but also to protect you. Because of the task, it doesn’t mean you like you.”
“So Pei Yi, why are you so confident and feel that I am willing to live and die with you?”
She smiled, turned and jumped from the top of the 30-story tower.
The wind was violent in her ears, and she closed her eyes, as if she heard Pei Yi calling out her name.
That was probably the last time he called her by her name.
At almost the same moment, the metal watch lights up again.
[System prompt: [Zombie Siege] mission is successful. 】
The author has something to say: ※※This volume is over, I will explain some questions to you here ※※
I know that many readers are deeply aggrieved by the plot of the first volume. In fact, when I write the first volume, I occasionally get angry with myself.
But Xiaohuo needs to grow up. She has just walked into the parallel world and is not familiar with all aspects. She doesn’t know what to do that will affect the task. She is restrained and worried, so it is inevitable that she is not ruthless enough-and she really likes Pei Yi, although It’s hard to say if you like this kind of thing.
However, in the second volume [Human Removal Plan], Xiao Huo is very generous, please rest assured, if anyone insists on reading this chapter, I guarantee that the second volume of Xiao Huo is cool, and all his nature is released.
And Pei Yi, there is no need to blame Pei Yi. From Pei Yi’s standpoint, he has received the great favor of the Bai family to go to this day, and he promised to protect Bai Yu from his dead parents. It is normal for him to be cruel. Fortunately, finally put down with a clear conscience.
He doesn’t like Bai Yu, he only likes Xiao Huo.
He will appear in the next few volumes. There are not many scenes. As for how to appear, you will know.
But this is not very important, the important thing is that in the future, we will see Xiao Huo open up and kill the Quartet.
After all, the male protagonist is still embellishment, not much different from non-cp, because the main theme of Xiaohuo’s life is not love, it is war (…)
