The Abused Novel Heroine Became a Clingy Sweetheart [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 63.1
Blood splattered onto the dust-covered ground, staining the dirty gray.
You Ting held Ji Zhou, her palm touching a warm, fishy liquid.
It was blood.
The young girl was very thin and light, leaning against You Ting’s chest like a small cloud.
She had little presence.
But it was precisely this person, usually the weakest, who always hid behind her.
She had stepped out and blocked a critical blow for You Ting.
“Oh dear,” You Yan said regretfully from over there, “How did I miss.”
You Ting’s fingers trembled slightly, and she abruptly looked up, her cold, deep eyes locked on You Yan.
She suddenly picked up Ji Zhou, activated her Source Stone to the maximum, and while launching an attack on You Yan, she swiftly carried the girl away.
A massive, purple ball of lightning violently collided with You Yan, kicking up dust and smoke everywhere.
As the fog dissipated, You Yan retreated a few steps, the black mist around her also diminishing slightly.
A trace of blood appeared at the corner of her unseen mouth.
She frowned, raising a hand to wipe the blood away.
You Ting and Ji Zhou were no longer in sight.
She had no interest in the remaining people.
You Yan merely gave them a cold glance before withdrawing her gaze.
The next moment, her body vanished from its spot, rapidly pursuing You Ting in the direction she had left.
The intense oppressive feeling slowly faded only after You Yan had gone far away.
Anu collapsed on the ground, exhaling heavily: “Oh my god, she’s finally gone, we got our lives back.”
Ji Man kicked him, “Why are you lying there? Get up quickly and go help my sister and the bean sprout! That female demon is chasing them!”
Anu paused, then whispered, “If Sister Ting can’t handle that high-level zombie, then we won’t be any use even if we go.”
His voice dropped lower as he mumbled, “Besides, that Red-level zombie is clearly after Sister Ting, there’s no need to needlessly throw away our lives for something this dangerous.”
Ji Man’s eyes widened in disbelief.
He grabbed Anu’s collar, “What do you mean by that?”
Ji Man demanded angrily, “Are we just going to watch them die? Aren’t we teammates? Aren’t we comrades!”
In a world where danger could strike at any moment, shouldn’t they be the most trusted people, who could entrust their backs to each other and go through thick and thin together?
Anu looked at him, tugged at the corner of his mouth, and cracked a smile.
“Yes,” he said, “But do you know, before Sister Ting and you, we had another teammate.”
The youth’s still-immature face was filled with coldness, “But she was chased by a horde of zombies, and we couldn’t save her.”
Anu said word by word, “Only teammates who can survive count as teammates, understand?”
Ji Man stared blankly and let go of Anu.
He turned his gaze, seeking affirmation from Uncle Xiu and Shen Jiaxing.
Uncle Xiu remained taciturn, shrugging his shoulders, perhaps because he was severely injured, keeping his head down low.
And Shen Jiaxing, whom Ji Man thought was the most reliable, only sighed, gazing in the direction You Ting and the others had disappeared.
He wasn’t sighing for the lives that might be lost, but simply lamenting that without Ji Zhou, he would have to rely on killing more zombies for Source Stones to enhance his ability in the future.
Meeting Ji Man’s gaze, Shen Jiaxing offered an apologetic smile: “As you can see, we simply can’t defeat that Red-level zombie.”
“I am the leader of this small team, and I must consider the remaining members.”
“All we can do now is hope for good luck for Miss Ting and Ji Zhou.”
If Ji Man had been present before, he would have realized that Shen Jiaxing’s words were extremely familiar—he had said the exact same thing when Duan Fu disappeared.
Not even the curve of his lips had changed.
His refined features held a hint of pity for the world, yet the depths of his eyes were calm.
A calmness that made it difficult to fathom any superfluous emotion.
Ji Man suddenly let out a laugh.
“I see it clearly now,” he said softly, his voice tinged with sarcasm, “You people are excellent at kicking someone away after crossing the bridge.”
“What ‘only living teammates count as teammates’—it’s all utter bullshit!”
“All I know is, if it weren’t for my sister along the way, you all would have died at the hands of those zombies long ago!”
“You won’t care about her and the bean sprout, but I will! Even if I die, I will die with a clear conscience!”
Ji Man’s eyes were red; he spat fiercely toward Shen Jiaxing and the others, then turned and ran off, chasing in the direction You Ting had gone, without a second glance.
“Brother Jiaxing,” Anu asked hesitantly, “Are we really not going?”
Shen Jiaxing said lightly, “Going or not is a personal choice, but—”
“Instead of sacrificing ourselves in vain, it’s better to conserve our strength, carry the hope of Ji Zhou and the others, and make it to the Survivor Base together.”
He turned back, patted Anu’s shoulder, and said meaningfully, “It hasn’t been easy for us to travel this far and survive.”
“Anu, haven’t you always wanted to go to the Survivor Base to find your grandmother?”
Mentioning his grandmother, Anu’s expression shifted slightly.
Finally, he nodded silently, putting Ji Man’s words out of his mind, and walked forward with Shen Jiaxing and Uncle Xiu.
After walking a short distance, he felt an urge to look back.
His clenched fist tightened, but ultimately, he did not turn around.
…
…
In the desolate city, without enough sunlight, the trees and green grass on the ground withered day by day.
As far as the eye could see, there was only billowing yellow sand.
Vaguely visible tall buildings stood within it, like a mirage seen in a desert.
Ji Zhou had lost consciousness due to her severe injury.
Blood continuously flowed from her back, and she urgently needed to find a place for treatment.
You Ting carried her on her back, her face serene, running resolutely in one direction.
Behind her, You Yan was still in hot pursuit.
The power of the white Source Stone was pushed to its limit, and You Ting’s divine sense covered all the surrounding zombies.
She desperately urged them to block You Yan’s advance.
She occasionally glanced up at the sky—the golden eye had not yet opened.
You Yan also led a group of zombies, and the two forces clashed.
The two women were separated by a tide of corpses, like two opposing generals watching their soldiers charge into battle.
You Ting frowned.
Although the opponent was only Red-level, one level lower than her. Logically, she should be inferior and also have to obey You Ting.
But on the contrary, You Ting could not reach You Yan’s divine sense.
And You Yan clearly possessed a slightly stronger power than her at the moment.
Continuing the stalemate would only rely on whose Source Stone power lasted longer.
You Yan said coldly, “At your wits’ end, what are you still struggling for!”
Her eyes darted, and she added, “If not for yourself, you should think about that human girl behind you.”
“She was hit by my attack; if it’s not treated in time, she’ll die soon.”
“Such a young girl, oh my, can you bear to let her go?”
“How about,” You Yan smiled, “You surrender and let me consume you, and I’ll let the little girl go, and even heal her?”
You Ting ignored her, only continuing to exert the energy of the Source Stone to its utmost.
You Yan scoffed, “Stubborn and unenlightened. In this state, you can’t beat me.”
“What state?” You Ting suddenly asked.
You Yan did not answer.
However, You Ting had already guessed the answer.
She suddenly raised her eyes, and a light flickered in her dark pupils.
You Ting’s rosy lips curved upward, and she showed a faint smile: “Is it—in the condition that the golden eye is closed?”
Before You Yan could react, You Ting said again, “Then look again now.”
The world seemed to suddenly fall silent for a moment, the clouds abruptly moved backward, and the world instantly changed color.
Above the firmament, that golden eye slowly opened its eyelids.
At the same time, the white Source Stone in You Ting’s chest erupted with a power never before seen.
You Yan froze, screaming in surprise: “Impossible!”
“The time for the eye to open hasn’t arrived; I clearly calculated it! Everything was planned!”
Although she was astonished by the sudden turn of events, she hadn’t completely lost her mind.
Knowing that she definitely couldn’t defeat You Ting under these circumstances, she quickly prepared to leave.
But it was too late.
As the pair of clear golden eyes fully opened their black and white pupils in the sky, the energy in You Ting’s hands instantly ascended several levels.
“You hurt my person, and you think you can just walk away?”
You Ting raised her palm, and the portion of the zombies that had been controlled by You Yan instantly accepted You Ting’s command.
They turned against You Yan, densely surrounding her retreat path.
With the augmentation of the golden eye and You Ting’s divine sense, it wasn’t easy for You Yan to clear them away.
“Get lost!” You Yan furiously unleashed several attacks forward.
The zombies fell in droves, but even more continued to charge toward You Yan.
There was no one else here; Ji Zhou was even unconscious. You Ting fearlessly displayed power that did not belong to a human.
White smoke spread and drifted from her hand, like floating ribbons, or like chains.
The white smoke, at a speed that the naked eye could not keep up with, wrapped around You Yan’s hands and feet.
The white smoke, which seemed like it would scatter with a single blow, was useless no matter how You Yan struggled.
You Yan’s movements were completely controlled.
The roles of hunter and prey were reversed in an instant.
It was only then that You Ting truly revealed the strength belonging to the apex of the zombie hierarchy.
She retracted her hand, and the chains constructed by the white smoke also dragged You Yan toward her.
You Yan, who had been so aggressive just a moment ago, now lay on the ground in a pitiful state, like a drowned dog.
You Ting snapped her fingers, and the black mist shrouding You Yan gradually dispersed.
Revealing an extremely familiar face.
You Yan stared intently at You Ting, seemingly trying to find a trace of disbelief or surprised inquiry in her expression to try and comfort herself that she hadn’t failed so completely.
Unfortunately, she saw nothing.
You Ting’s eyes held only cold indifference; she harshly stepped on You Yan.
Bending down, a mocking smile spread across her red lips.
“What did I take you for,” You Ting looked down at the person on the ground, slowly speaking, “Turns out you’re just a counterfeit that can’t bear the light.”
