Flame of Hope

On the artificial mountain, in a small stone cave, Zheng Zhiyi nervously hid inside.

She didn’t dare to make the slightest sound.

The inhibitor was stored on the right side of her thigh, and the energy core of the exoskeleton armor was stored in the cabin.

The sound of strange arthropods crawling rhythmically rang out nearby.

That monster was still looking for her.

If Zheng Zhiyi hadn’t reacted in time, and had recently been frantically training herself, she could barely control the fastest speed that this exoskeleton could unleash, and she would have been discovered long ago.

What monster was it? It should be a spider.

About ten minutes had passed since Wu Sheng left.

Zheng Zhiyi couldn’t help but feel a little anxious.

What was the method Wu Sheng said? She had just heard a violent explosion not long ago.

What was happening outside?

“Click, click…”

The crisp crawling sound made her scalp tingle. The monster nearby seemed to be gradually moving away, and the footsteps gradually became smaller.

Zheng Zhiyi waited for a while.

There was no more movement outside. It should have left.

Should she go out?

What if it hadn’t gone far?

What were you hesitating for! Zheng Zhiyi!

She gritted her teeth, looked out of the cave, made up her mind, came to the entrance, and poked her head out to observe left and right.

She didn’t see the monster. It should have left.

She was overjoyed and immediately drilled out of the cave, running quickly towards the outside of the wall. There was a strange smell in the air, like something was burnt, and a little smelly.

Suddenly, she stopped.

What happened to that glass sightseeing bridge that she had passed when she came up?!

She swallowed a mouthful of saliva and ran quickly to the sightseeing platform to look. Below the wall, her mouth opened wide.

The Chimera Composite’s tall body had been broken in half, and a big fire was burning everywhere.

And on its chest, a wrinkled fleshy ball was completely exposed, covered with scarlet bloodstains!

A blood-soaked girl stood in front of this tall “monster corpse,” looking so small.

She was covered in blood, her eyes were empty, lonely and desolate.

Her long hair danced in the wind.

She smiled miserably, and the girl dropped the bone blade in her hand, stretching her hand to hold her long hair.

A cherry skin headband tied up a high ponytail.

In the heavy fog, the girl’s eyes bloomed with scarlet light.

“Chengcheng…”

The strong wind blew…

The explosion just now seemed to have attracted all the zombies nearby.

One hundred, one thousand, ten thousand… tens of thousands!

More and more, the dark mass of zombies!

Surrounded the girl with the scarlet pupils in it!

The tidal wave of roars continued without end.

Suddenly, an extremely sharp roar appeared behind Zheng Zhiyi.

Zheng Zhiyi froze, not daring to look back, and immediately used all her strength to move her steps!

“Sister Song Ning!”

Regardless of whether there was a sightseeing bridge or not, she had to jump down first! Otherwise, she would die!

She jumped down, and under the cliff were countless zombies!

Seeming to have heard the girl’s shout, the girl with the scarlet pupils reacted.

She turned around and happened to see Zheng Zhiyi falling.

The blood-red stream of light shuttled through the tide of corpses.

In less than a second, she caught Zheng Zhiyi who had fallen down, and then she took her to the top of a slightly higher ruin.

Zheng Zhiyi gasped for breath and coughed twice, “I, I have an inhibitor. Where is Ping Chengcheng? And, and, Wu Sheng? There’s a monster behind me!”

She turned her head, and the Weaver was hanging on the cliff wall. A surprising scene appeared. After seeing Song Ning’s scarlet pupils, the Weaver seemed to have encountered a natural enemy and ran away without looking back.

The girl listened to what Zheng Zhiyi said, and her spirit was inexplicably a little dazed.

“Ping Chengcheng… Chengcheng, she…”

Her eyes turned red, and remorse and self-blame surged towards her again.

At this time, Zheng Zhiyi and Song Ning were very close, which was an unavoidable action when Song Ning caught her just now.

Song Ning pursed her lips tightly, tears welling up in her eyes, and an unbearable soreness came from her body, and her mind became inexplicably agitated.

That strange agitation didn’t seem to belong to Song Ning.

Just as Song Ning was in shock, a ball of black, twisted liquid quickly drilled out of her skin. The familiar needle-like pain made Song Ning tremble all over!

With the continuous solidification of the black liquid, a dark brown, ugly hand monster jumped onto Song Ning’s head. Its eyes were bloodthirsty red, like precious rubies.

“Didn’t you say you wouldn’t get close to Sister again! Get out of here!”

A strange lolita voice came from the tentacle body, sounding particularly contrasting.

What!?

This, this was Ping Chengcheng?

Zheng Zhiyi was stunned for a moment, and then immediately left Song Ning’s side.

She looked at the small tentacle monster with blood-red eyes, jumping restlessly, and laughed.

This little guy looked quite cute.

“What are you laughing at! You actually dare to get close to Sister! You, have you thought about how you want to die!”

The little tentacle monster gritted its teeth. Even though the tone was very cold, it didn’t sound scary at all.

Zheng Zhiyi scratched her head a little embarrassedly, “I’m sorry, Ping Chengcheng, I won’t dare anymore.”

“It was my problem just now. You and Song Ning are a match made in heaven! I’m just trash! Song Ning will always be with you and will always love you!”

“Can you forgive me?”

The tentacle monster’s crimson pupils stared at her.

Finally, after three seconds, it laughed.

“Sister will always love me. Hmph, I know it without you saying it!”

At this moment, Song Ning finally recovered from the pain just now.

“Chengcheng… Chengcheng, are you okay!?”

She exclaimed in surprise, tears of joy.

The palm-sized little tentacle monster jumped down and landed on Song Ning’s palm.

“Sister, I…”

It was a bit weak, sounding very fragile.

Song Ning’s mood became nervous again.

“Chengcheng, what, what’s wrong?”

“I have a bit of a headache… There are so many strange sounds in my head…”

“Sister, this monster-like appearance of mine, Sister, will you leave me?”

Song Ning breathed a sigh of relief and wiped away some of the tears that had accumulated in the corners of her eyes.

“I won’t… Chengcheng…”

“You are so stupid, you are really an idiot… How could I leave you…”

An endless fatigue came from her body.

Song Ning took a deep breath, carefully holding this little tentacle monster in her hands.

Zheng Zhiyi was standing beside her.

Because of the explosion, more and more zombies were attracted… They appeared from every narrow corner… Gathering…

Like a black sea…

The countless zombies made people suffocate.

Song Ning had lost all her physical strength, and now even standing in place was a little difficult.

She coughed lightly, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.

The night was still very long, and smoke filled the air.

Within a few kilometers, in the surrounding tide of corpses, two young women and a tentacle monster were trapped on top of a ruin.

The tide of corpses was quickly approaching them… Like a black tsunami that could devour everything.

Zheng Zhiyi smiled bitterly.

“Sister Song Ning… We might…”

Before she could say the next sentence, sporadic gunshots suddenly rang out in the distance.

The sound gradually increased from far to near, and changed from sporadic to dense.

The engine’s roaring drums encouraged people.

A convoy was steadily approaching in the tide of corpses.

Ye Yin’s unconcerned, roaring command had a very strong penetrating power, and Song Ning heard his voice from very far away.

“Damn it! Ping! Can you, the commander, be a little more competent!”

“I’ll throw you guys! Brothers! These zombies are all made of paper in front of our guns, don’t be afraid!”

“Kill them all!!!”

Another extremely weak sound came from not far away.

Under the Chimera Composite’s huge body, a man’s powerless coughing was keenly captured by Song Ning.

She looked over, and three zombies grabbed a man dressed in black, wearing exoskeleton armor, from the pile of corpses.

The zombies opened their bloody mouths and bit down unceremoniously!

Crack~

The already loose teeth fell out in an instant, leaving only shallow marks on the exoskeleton armor.

Wu Sheng relaxed his body, closed his eyes and lay down, feeling the zombies around him biting his exoskeleton armor with force.

They were all trash~

Did they want him to die? How could it be so easy?

It was really laughable.

The Chimera Composite’s huge body was still burning.

This cluster of flames, which almost illuminated half of the night sky, was like a hope in the apocalypse, it was warm and bright.

Zheng Zhiyi withdrew her previous words and laughed softly

“It seems, we survived.”
