Chapter 119: The Pulse of the Earth

Translator:Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Brother Hei was running for his life. He was so afraid, he’d almost gone mad. He felt the danger get closer as that guy ran after him. What drove him crazy was his opponent’s speed, which was even faster than his. It was total desperation to meet a stronger enemy.

He ran along the corridor and sprinted towards the door without looking back.

The fear in his heart did not allow him to notice Wang Shishi, who was vomiting nearby. He could not have managed to react even if he had seen her anyway.

Not every evolved person was like Luo Yuan, who could develop his attributes in a balanced way. Most evolved people had strong powers, but also had weak points. His speed may have been as fast as Luo Yuan’s, but he did not have a high battle efficiency, a competent brain or the strong sensory perception to process the large amount of information during a high-speed fight.

It was like a non-professional driving a racing car. He could probably race on a highway, but not be able to make a U-turn or overtake.

In fact, after Luo Yuan had become an evolved person, he had had to reduce his speed at about 50% when he fought so his battle efficiency wouldn’t decrease.

A few steps later, Brother Hei was about to reach the door. As soon as he got out of the villa, he saw the young woman in black semi-crouching about 30 meters away. She was holding a silver-white handgun tightly in both hands and pointing it toward him while she swayed from left and right.

A chill suddenly shocked his spine. He glowered and growled. With the driving force of a man about to get killed, he sped up toward the young woman. He knew perfectly well that if he did not get himself a hostage to control the terrifying man behind him, he would not be able to survive.

“Jiahui, run!” Luo Yuan shouted in alarm.

Huang Jiahui did not seem to hear him as she remained still. Cold sweat ran down her forehead as she watched the enemy get closer fast. Her pupils contracted while she pointed the gun at the vague shadow.

The distance between them was getting shorter very quickly.

Thirty meters, twenty-five meters, twenty meters…

Huang Jiahui finally pulled the trigger.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The first shot missed, but the second shot grazed his arm, drawing blood, and the third one hit him right on the chest. The dark blue rank bullet had an extremely strong penetrating force. It got through his chest and penetrated a couple of walls before finally disappearing. It left quite a few holes in the villa.

Brother Hei’s body jerked, stumbled and flew into the air by the force of his speed. A ferocious look of disappointment flashed across his face as he took out a handgun from his waist, raised his head and pulled the trigger in Huang Jiahui’s direction.

“No!” Luo Yuan was shocked as he threw his Zhanmadao towards Brother Hei.

It was too late though. A gunshot sounded out just as the Zhanmadao struck his chest.

At such a dangerous moment, nobody would have thought that a shadow would suddenly appear and throw itself upon Huang Jianhui, letting the bullet hit their body instead. Blood splattered all around.

It was Huang Yuying.

Luo Yuan was shocked. He had never thought that Huang Yuying would do such a thing.

Noticing that somebody had gotten injured, everyone ran over.

Luo Yuan pulled his Zhanmadao out of the man’s body. He was not dead yet, but blood was oozing out of his mouth and he could no longer talk. He gave Luo Yuan an imploring look, hoping that he would take pity on him and end his life fast.

Luo Yuan swished his knife emotionlessly and finished him.

Then he quickly rushed over to Huang Yuying, who was partially lying on the floor, her hand pressing on her stomach while blood oozed out through her fingers. They were dyed a deep red.

Huang Jiahui was holding her hand tightly, her eyes full of tears. She felt thankful and ashamed at the same time. She kept murmuring, “Please hold on! Why were you so stupid? You didn't have to save me.”

Huang Yuying’s face was very pale, but she gave her a forceful smile and said weakly, “I… I owed this to all of you. I couldn’t do much, all I could do… was this. If I die, please go to Wugou County in Shannan Province and check if my parents are still alive. My dad’s name is Huang Weimin, and my mom’s is…”

She started spitting up blood before she could finish her sentence.

“Don't worry, you won’t die. We’ll all go together.” Realizing that she was going to die soon, she turned and shouted at Ning Xiaoran, “Save her, quick!”

She died eventually.

Ning Xiaoran was just a nurse. She could not perform surgery. Besides, the bullet had gone through her stomach and caused profuse bleeding. Considering the lack of sufficient medical supplies, it was impossible to treat such a serious injury.

The ashes in front of the villa had yet to decompose, so a new fire was started on them.

Life was unpredictable, especially during the apocalypse.

Luo Yuan had not liked Huang Yuying. She had made a very bad impression on him right from the beginning. Even though she was a beautiful woman, Luo Yuan had never been nice to her. He had even had the urge to kill her. However, she had been willing to sacrifice her life to save someone she had know for less than half a month.
