Even without cheats, we must survive the apocalypse

Chapter 43: Convergence

The tragic scene in the corridor made the girls open their eyes wide in surprise, and even An Suxin, who was always calm and rational, showed an expression of disbelief.

"...Mengmeng, were all these done by you?" Su Muhe asked in a low voice. The girl's face turned pale. The huge smell of blood and the broken limbs all over the ground made her feel a little unwell.

"Of course it's me!" Ruan Mengmeng patted her chest proudly. At Chu Xiao's selfish request, she put on the refreshing sportswear again, covering her slender waist and amazing thighs. "I cut off this whole layer."

"You're so awesome..." Su Muhe exclaimed. She knew that her best friend was good at fighting, but she didn't expect her to be so good at it.

An Suxin was naturally surprised by Ruan Mengmeng's fighting ability. In the original plan, this girl only needed to clear out as many zombies as possible on the way to the elevator, but she didn't expect that this girl would do it more thoroughly. She already knew that Ruan Mengmeng's fighting ability was amazing, and now it seems that the previous evaluation has to be further raised.

After a brief surprise, An Suxin habitually took Ruan Mengmeng's abilities into consideration. How could she ensure that such a useful "chess piece" would not leave this small team?

Out of distrust of human nature and having seen the dark side of society, An Suxin would rather stay in a small team where people know each other than in a large team.

She thought about it and looked at Chu Xiao who was pushing the wheelchair, remembering the scar on the man's lip. She couldn't deny that when she saw the scar, her mood was not as calm as she expected. She thought that this kind of emotional possessiveness had died when she chose to give up herself, but she never thought that it would come back to life because of this man who she had known for less than two days.

"Forget it. It's a special period, so I'll just give you a bargain." An Su thought to herself, "At worst, I can ask for it a few more times in the future. I'll just squeeze this bastard dry first..."

Chu Xiao naturally didn't know the little thoughts of the secretary beside him. He took the girls into the elevator and followed the elevator down to the floor where the safe zone was located.

Doctor Zhou and others were guarding the elevator door, but the situation was obviously not very optimistic. The situation on this floor was much more dangerous than the office floor. Not long after Chu Xiao went up, zombies had already wandered around. Doctor Zhou and the other two relied on the crude weapons in their hands to barely hold on.

When the elevator door opened, Chu Xiao and the others saw such a dangerous scene. Dr. Zhou used the wrench in his hand to press against the zombie's bloody mouth. Under the zombie's huge force, he gradually fell into a weak position in the stalemate and was about to collapse. The other two were also in a stalemate, unable to take care of themselves, and had no energy to save Dr. Zhou.

"Mengmeng, help!" Chu Xiao called out to Ruan Mengmeng, left his sister to the care of Su Muhe, picked up the baseball bat and rushed out.

"Okay!" Ruan Mengmeng was even faster. She held a samurai sword in her hand and moved as fast as lightning. She drew the sword out of the sheath in an instant and easily beheaded the zombie in front of Dr. Zhou.

Two people joined the battle and quickly rescued Dr. Zhou, but more and more zombies were approaching not far away.

"Let's go!" Seeing that Chu Xiao had successfully brought the girls down, Dr. Zhou immediately told them to retreat back to the safe area.

Since Chu Yan was still on a ventilator and it was difficult for her to move, Chu Xiao and Ruan Mengmeng decided to stay behind to stop the zombies. This time, Chu Xiao saw up close how agile Ruan Mengmeng was in dealing with the zombies.

The girl was as nimble as a swallow, moving freely among the zombies. Every brief pause represented a fatal blow.

In terms of pure strength, Chu Xiao thought that he was better than Ruan Mengmeng after being strengthened, but he was probably far behind in terms of technique and speed. After all, he was just an ordinary office worker until yesterday, and he had not undergone professional training like Ruan Mengmeng, nor did he have the excellent "fighting" talent like her.

However, she is not without flaws. Once she starts fighting, this girl is too easily carried away. I don't know if it's because of the virus or her nature. If Chu Xiao hadn't reminded her in time, Ruan Mengmeng, who was addicted to killing, would have almost rushed into the depths of the zombie group. No matter how powerful she is now, she can't be safe if she rushes into the zombie encirclement.

This feeling is very strange, like a beautiful and powerful, but impulsive and irritable hound whose form cannot be seen clearly, and someone must hold its reins. Before, the person holding the "reins" was Chu Xiao's sister Chu Yan, and now, the reins seemed to be in Chu Xiao's hands.

On the other side, the people in the safe zone were already prepared. When Dr. Zhou and others approached, they immediately opened the door and let them in.

"Come in quickly!" Dr. Zhou shouted to Chu Xiao and Ruan Mengmeng who were still outside.

When Chu Xiao heard the sound, he immediately kicked a zombie in front of him away, then grabbed the hand of the girl who wanted to rush forward and ran towards the gate of the safe zone.

When the two rushed into the door, Dr. Zhou, who had been waiting behind the door, immediately closed the door. There was a violent banging sound from behind the door, and the whole door seemed to be shaking under the impact of the zombies.

Doctor Zhou was prepared and immediately shouted, "Move the table to block the door!"

A group of people immediately piled tables and chairs behind the door, and used their bodies to block the door tightly. After holding out for a long time, the impact behind the door gradually stopped, and the people in the safe zone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Boy, you did a good job." Doctor Zhou was not a young man after all, and he was breathing heavily after the action. He and Chu Xiao had also escaped from the gates of hell, and after experiencing life and death together, their relationship became much closer.

Chu Xiao knew that this time it was all thanks to Dr. Zhou's popularity, otherwise no one would be willing to help, and the people left inside would not be willing to open the door and let them in as soon as the zombies approached.

"It's a pity for that brother..."

"Uncle Zhou," Su Muhe came to Dr. Zhou in a coquettish manner. The situation was urgent and they couldn't even talk to each other. "Help me see if I can handle it."

"First, find a bed for the child to lie down," said Doctor Zhou. "Susu, tell me what other medicines you used later..."

Chu Xiao could not understand a thing about the conversation between Su Muhe and Dr. Zhou, which was full of medical jargon. However, he could not let his sister go and did not want her to leave his sight, so he followed them. It was not until then that Chu Xiao realized that he was still holding Ruan Mengmeng's hand tightly.

The girl looked calm, even cute, not at all as fierce as she had been in the zombie swarm. She did not struggle to break free from Chu Xiao's hand, and just let him hold her hand tightly.

Ruan Mengmeng's hands are surprisingly smooth, without the calluses that one might expect from long-term exercise or holding a knife, but they are definitely not the kind of delicate hands. Her fingers are long and her skin is delicate, but not soft, which reminds people of the notes jumping on the black and white keys of a piano. In fact, Ruan Mengmeng did learn piano. In order to change her overly "bad" temperament, her family forced her to learn piano for a year. Later, after the piano teacher was angry and left, she had to give up.

For some unknown reason, Chu Xiao thought of the passionate kiss just now and was unable to let go of the girl's hand immediately.

"Brother Xiao?" The girl turned her head and looked at Chu Xiao with her eyes wide open. She seemed to be completely unaware that her hand was being held by a man. "Is there any problem?"

"Nothing..." He accidentally missed the opportunity to let go. If he suddenly let go at this time, it would seem too deliberate, but holding the girl's hand all the time was not a solution.

At this moment, Su Muhe suddenly ran over. She glanced at the two people holding hands calmly, and then handed a bottle of mineral water to Chu Xiao: "Brother Xiao, have a drink of water."

Then, she handed another bottle to Ruan Mengmeng: "Mengmeng, this bottle is for you."

"Sister Susu is so thoughtful. I'm so thirsty." Ruan Mengmeng excitedly took the mineral water and drank it in big gulps.

So, the hands of the two naturally separated.

Chapter 44 Classmates

An Suxin didn't like this place. Even though she didn't have to worry about being attacked by zombies for the time being, she still couldn't let her guard down. She glanced at the survivors around her coldly, guarding against possible... no, inevitable malicious intent.

She took the water brought by Su Muhe, found a corner away from the crowd, and prepared to take a short rest because the adventure would continue.

For his sister, that man would not stop. That was his last hope. After staying here for a while, they would immediately set off for the laboratory on the third floor. At this time, plans and schemes were meaningless. Their only way was to force their way in.

——It’s incredible that I would have such a moment…

An Suxin leaned against the wall, looking at the white ceiling of the hospital with a slight smile on her face. She had never thought of staying in a safe place, but was willing to follow that man into a dangerous situation. Was it because of that naive promise? Or was it because of something else?

She would be suspicious, defensive, and wary of any living person, because she believed that the essence of human nature is evil. No matter how kind and beautiful they appear, there will always be a dark side inside them waiting for an opportunity to act. But why would she trust the man she had only known for less than two days so much?

——Is it because, by chance, the bad guy has succeeded?

"Maybe... I'm actually a very conservative woman..." Just because she saw the scar on his lips, her heart had such strong ups and downs, making her rational and calm thoughts so confused that she had to analyze her own heart.

…It’s probably because of that simpler reason.

she thought.

At this moment, a woman's vulgar insults interrupted her thoughts. An Suxin looked in the direction of the sound and saw that it came from a ward with a young nurse guarding the door. Someone must be locked behind the door, cursing hysterically and banging on the door.

The nurse at the door was so annoyed that she covered her ears with a bitter face, pretending not to hear anything.

An Suxin didn't want to pay attention, but she heard the woman inside the door scolding: "... Chu Xiao, you bastard! You ballless bastard! I think you will be fed to those zombies sooner or later! **"

Her scolding was very nasty, and some of the words could be described as unbearable to the ear. An Suxin silently took a sip of water, took out a tissue and gently wiped her wet lips, then put the bottle down, stood up and walked to the door of the ward.

…Her mood suddenly became very bad.

"Excuse me, what's the situation in there?" An Suxin asked the nurse at the door politely.

An Suxin's overwhelming beauty made the young nurse lose consciousness for a moment. After she came to her senses, she immediately explained: "The person imprisoned inside is a colleague of mine who made a mistake..."

The young nurse explained the whole story in just a few words.

An Suxin looked at the tightly closed ward door: It turned out that the person inside was Zhao Huanxi, whom he had saved.

Speaking of which, the name "Zhao Huanxi" sounded familiar to her, but she couldn't remember where she had heard it. Since she couldn't remember it, it must be that he wasn't an important person.

"Can you let me in for a moment?" An Suxin said with a smile, "I have something I want to talk to her about."

The young nurse showed an embarrassment, but when she saw An Suxin's troublesome face smiling at her, her little heart beat faster and faster, her little face turned red, and she nodded in a daze... Facts have proved that when one's appearance reaches a certain level, one can be popular with both men and women.

Obviously, Zhao Huanxi behind the door did not expect that the door of the ward would open suddenly. She was almost hit in the nose by the suddenly opened door.

A young woman walked in from the door and closed it behind her.

She was a woman so beautiful that Zhao Huanxi was jealous. She had beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and was as soft as jade and as gentle as a flower. However, her bright eyes were full of indifference.

Zhao Huanxi was jealous and surprised. She knew the woman who suddenly appeared in front of her!

For a bad woman like Zhao Huanxi who is arrogant and looks down on others, she will only remember the names of two types of people: one is someone who can be used by her, and the other is someone she hates. How can there be someone more beautiful than her, and more disgusting?

Besides, how could anyone easily forget a woman with a face as disastrous as An Suxin's after meeting her once?

"Why are you here? My squad leader." Zhao Huanxi raised his chin, as if to show off his superiority so as not to be outdone by An Suxin's overwhelming beauty.

"Oh, it's you. If you hadn't mentioned your identity as 'class monitor', I really couldn't remember who you were. I said the name 'Zhao Huanxi', why does it sound so familiar?" An Suxin shook her head and finally remembered who this person was.

An Suxin and Zhao Huanxi were high school classmates, and they both graduated from Yuntai High School. However, An Suxin was the undisputed cool school beauty and top student, while Zhao Huanxi had a messy private life and was a well-known socialite in the student circle.

At that time, Zhao Huanxi, who was very confident in his looks, disliked An Suxin, who was much more outstanding and beautiful than himself. He caused her a lot of trouble and even contacted a "gangster" to teach An Suxin a lesson. However, all the troubles were easily resolved by An Suxin. Zhao Huanxi also suffered a lot and almost didn't even get a high school diploma.

Later, when he heard that An Suxin's father was in debt and his former goddess had fallen into a quagmire, Zhao Huanxi was really happy for a while.

"I didn't expect to see an old classmate here. Why did you escape here too?" Zhao Huanxi said viciously, "I thought you had been sold to Southeast Asia to pay off your gambling father's debts."

"I'm glad to see you still like this." An Suxin didn't respond to Zhao Huanxi verbally. She just felt a little sad that this world is really small. "Although I don't want to see you at all."

"Then why did you come in!" Zhao Huanxi didn't want to see An Suxin either, especially when he was in such a miserable state.

"I just heard you scolding my man, and I felt unhappy, so I wanted to teach you a lesson."

Zhao Huanxi was stunned for a moment: "Your man? Who?"

The next moment, she reacted: "Is it Chu Xiao?"

An Suxin did not answer, but this attitude was a sign of acquiescence.

"I am dying of laughter. The school beauty goddess actually chose such a poor poor guy! What a good taste! Did you get played with by someone and then find a scapegoat for yourself?" Zhao Huanxi laughed until tears were about to fall, "You actually chose that kind of man..."

Before she could finish her words, An Suxin suddenly slapped Zhao Huanxi in the face. Without waiting for the woman to react, An Suxin grabbed her hair, pulled hard, and pushed her knee up hard, hitting Zhao Huanxi's stomach hard.

Because of the heavy blow to the abdomen, Zhao Huanxi fell to his knees in pain and vomited the acid in his stomach.

An Suxin once again grabbed Zhao Huanxi's hair expressionlessly, pulling her face to make her look at her: "I said, you said bad things about my man, which made me very unhappy."

Zhao Huanxi's internet celebrity face twisted in pain, looking extremely ugly. She suddenly remembered that An Suxin was not a good boy and top student in high school. This "good student" in the eyes of the teacher was actually vindictive and had a perverse personality.

Due to her family situation and her stunning appearance, many people coveted An Suxin, forcing her to protect herself with an even more ruthless attitude, and even won the title of "Queen" among her classmates.

"First of all, I must correct some of your misunderstandings. He is my first man and will be my only man. He is not some pitiful scapegoat. Secondly, I have something in my hand. I would like you to help me experience it. Remember to tell me how it feels." An Suxin took out the electric baton she found in the boss's office. White electric sparks were jumping. "Don't worry, you won't die..."

Zhao Huanxi is an out-and-out villain. She is selfish, good at scheming, has no bottom line, no persistence, and no sense of shame.

But An Suxin is an evil person.

Before the world was destroyed and entered the end of the world, she had already seen the truth in the cruel world and sharpened her claws.

For her, this world had already ended a long time ago...

(ps: I’ve become a fool because of my busy work…)

Chapter 45: Strong Support

A terrifying scream could be heard from the ward. The crackling electricity made Zhao Huanxi twitch all over. The intense pain made her lose control of her body and she became incontinent...

The young nurse at the door turned pale. She tried to push the door open several times to stop the violence inside, but Zhao Huanxi's screams frightened her so much that she dared not push the door open. Just by listening to the voices inside, she could imagine what kind of tragedy was happening inside.

After a while, the screams weakened, the door of the ward opened, and An Suxin walked in from behind the door with a calm expression.

The young nurse was a little afraid to look into the eyes of this beautiful woman. The moment the door opened, she caught a glimpse of Zhao Huanxi's body lying on the ground, twitching from time to time.

"Don't worry, this thing won't kill anyone." An Suxin put away the electric baton in front of the nurse. "But now she should be able to stay quiet for a while."

After saying this, she left calmly without paying any attention to the frightened expression of the young nurse.

In the ward on the inner side of the safe zone, Chu Xiao was guarding Chu Yan's bedside. When he saw An Suxin coming, he asked, "Where did you go?"

An Suxin replied calmly: "I did some exercises to relax and relieve stress."

In addition to Chu Xiao and his sister, Su Muhe and Ruan Mengmeng were also in the ward. Ruan Mengmeng must have consumed too much energy before, so she sat cross-legged on the bed beside her and ate bread, while Su Muhe sat opposite Chu Xiao, and from time to time she would secretly glance at the young man's face across the bed.

Doctor Zhou has already left the ward. There is actually not much he can do. The most he can do is to instruct Su Muhe to use some new drugs and replace Chu Yan's equipment with the latest equipment. Whether Chu Yan can be saved depends on what Professor Su and his wife left in the laboratory.

"When are you planning to leave?" An Suxin asked.

"The sooner the better." To be fair, Chu Xiao wanted to set off right away, but a few of them had just returned from an adventure outside. Even though their bodies were not feeling tired due to the enhanced virus, they still needed some rest due to their mental fatigue.

Chu Yan's condition is relatively stable now, her breathing is steady, and her heart rate and blood pressure are within a safe range. But no one can be sure that her condition will not deteriorate in the next second.

"I don't recommend you take her to the lab. The risk is too great." An Suxin said directly, "With no ability to move at all, she will only become a burden to us. Besides, we have to take Su Su with us."

"But what about the time issue?"
