Thump—thump—thump—
The massive, dark gray feet caused the porcelain tiles to collapse.
“Roar!!!”
The Butcher roared with excitement, looking at the girl less than two meters in front of it.
It swung its bone cleaver, the muscles on its arms robust, the sinews coiling like ancient vines.
Everyone thought this girl was as good as dead!
Ping Yan looked at her in astonishment.
Why, why was this girl, who had only known Song Ning for a short time, willing to trade her life for hers?
His muscles trembled, and he quickly scrambled up to get away from here.
Even though he had known Song Ning since childhood, he felt that he probably wouldn’t give up his own life to save her.
But even though he admired the girl, he still hoped she would just die.
The feeling she gave him was very dangerous, very dangerous!
Even that giant zombie hadn’t made him feel like prey!
He didn’t like to put himself in danger!
“Roar!”
The bone cleaver swept down heavily, coming within inches of the girl.
Song Ning stared at the blood-stained blade, wishing she could rush over and stand in front of the girl.
Ping Chengcheng let out a delicate cry, as if startled.
Her small body squatted down on the spot, like a frightened little animal.
“Swoosh!”
The blade grazed her hair, but it didn’t hit her!
Song Ning immediately sighed in relief, then shouted at the girl, “Run!”
However, the girl didn’t run.
Instead, she took advantage of the Butcher’s post-attack stagger and raised the pistol in her right hand.
Everyone watching the girl held their breath.
They had all seen Song Ning shoot at this zombie just now, and it was completely useless!
Even a gun couldn’t do much damage! How strong was this zombie!
Song Ning’s heart, which had just relaxed a bit, instantly tightened again.
“Idiot! Run for me!”
She fumbled to change the magazine, raised her head, and was about to shoot when the zombie swung its bone cleaver again, coming down with the force of a thousand pounds!
This time, the girl squatted on the spot, holding the pistol, motionless, as if she was scared silly.
Song Ning was desperate!
“Bang!” The gunshot rang out.
A mass of black blood shot out from the Butcher’s brain, spraying in a beautiful arc, showering the porcelain floor like rain.
The giant zombie suddenly seemed to lose all its vitality, maintaining its previous posture, completely still.
Even Song Ning was surprised and stopped in her tracks.
The shot wasn’t hers, it was Ping Chengcheng’s.
Ping Chengcheng, killed the giant zombie, how did she do it?
“Are you okay? Let’s go, let’s get out of here quickly!”
There was no time to think about too many things.
Song Ning quickly ran to the girl’s side and was about to take Ping Chengcheng’s hand.
“No, sister, it’s not dead yet.”
Ping Chengcheng suddenly said.
Not dead!?
Song Ning’s pupils suddenly contracted.
“Yes, I saw it just now, it moved its finger.”
As she spoke, the girl approached the zombie that was standing still, coming to its feet.
A one-and-a-half-meter-tall girl, compared to the three-meter-tall Butcher, made the girl have to look up to see it.
Then, the girl raised the gun in her hand, a smile that she couldn’t suppress hanging on the corner of her lips.
‘How dare you try to hurt Song Ning!’
“Bang!”
“Bang bang bang!”
“Bang!”
She fired several shots in a row, as if venting, each one hitting it in the eye socket! Its brains were stirred like a beaten egg!
“Sister, you weren’t hurt by it, were you?”
As she spoke, the girl turned around, facing Song Ning with concern, and she returned to her usual pitiful appearance.
But where no one could see, a small, thumb-thick tentacle grew from her smooth back, slithering out from her collar, then extending towards the huge zombie corpse, inserting itself into its grayish-blue skin.
Ping Chengcheng felt a little thirsty, her body gradually heating up, and strength surged into her body.
‘This feeling… is really too wonderful!’
A new line of text appeared in Ping Chengcheng’s mind, it was the genetic text of the Butcher.
With a thought, Ping Chengcheng felt that the strength in her arms had increased a lot.
Probably twice what it was before.
The punch of an untrained adult male could exert one hundred to two hundred kilograms of force.
Ping Chengcheng had the foundation from her previous life in the apocalypse, and could exert at least two hundred and fifty kilograms of force before her arms were strengthened.
And now, she could easily reach five hundred kilograms!
The same level as a certain boxing champion named Tyson.
Song Ning squatted down slightly, getting closer to Ping Chengcheng, her expression serious and solemn, with a bit of dissatisfaction.
“Didn’t I tell you to stay outside properly?!”
“Why are you always so disobedient!?”
The girl whimpered, her eyes instantly turning red.
“Sister… I was afraid of those two uncles outside… and I was worried about you, sister… so I came in…”
Song Ning was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood.
In this shelter, it seemed that everyone looked down on the girl, and only she would treat her gently.
Thinking of this, Song Ning’s eyes softened, and she felt a little helpless.
Song Ning cupped the girl’s bowed head with both hands, forcing the girl to look at her.
“Let’s forget it this time, I’ll forgive you. But… there must be a punishment, hmph, tonight, you’ll be waiting for a spanking!”
Song Ning said with a stern face, snorting coldly.
“Ah!?” The girl was panicked, her face full of fear.
“Sister… no…”
‘A spanking? Sister… I didn’t expect you to like this~’
‘As long as it’s what sister likes, anything is fine~’
Song Ning’s face was cold: “It’s settled then, let’s go quickly.”
Attracted by the gunshots, zombies from the other floors of the plaza swarmed in like a tide.
Many zombies scrambled to climb over the railings on the upper floors, forming a spectacular “zombie waterfall.”
They were desperate, frenzied, and fell like dumplings not far away!
“Ugh—! Roar roar roar roar!”
“Run!”
The remaining people all ran for their lives, Ping Chengcheng closely following behind Song Ning.
She glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw Ping Yan limping and running, a bloody zombie almost touching the corner of his clothes.
Ping Chengcheng felt a burst of joy in her heart.
Die quickly, die quickly, don’t appear in front of her again, this guy who would only hold Song Ning back.
Only she… only she, Ping Chengcheng, could protect Song Ning well!
“Song Ning! Save, save me!” The boy’s voice was trembling and distorted, and streams of tears fell from his eyes like a broken kite.
He didn’t want to die, he really didn’t want to die!
“Save me! Wuwuwu!” The boy cried disgracefully, and the zombie pounced on his back!
Ping Chengcheng was overjoyed, this guy was finally going to die!
“Bang!” A gunshot rang out, and a hole instantly opened in the head of the zombie on the boy’s back!
Song Ning quickly stepped forward and carried Ping Yan on her back in a few moves.
She had just fired in a panic, and was still a little scared in her heart.
It was good that she didn’t miss.
“Let’s go, don’t stand there dazed!” Song Ning saw Ping Chengcheng standing there in a daze and said in a low voice, then started running quickly.
Ping Yan turned his head and looked at Ping Chengcheng, showing a provocative smile.
When they got back to the shelter, he would tell them about Ping Chengcheng’s abnormality!
At that time, he didn’t believe that Song Ning would still protect her!
Ping Chengcheng’s face was ugly, her small hands clenched into a fist.
She had to kill Ping Yan!
She had to..
