88 Hunt or Being Hunted? - Part 7 (1/2)

'Because I rejected him now he wants to kill me…' this was the only explanation she could think of, 'but he said I was his, so why does he want to kill me now?', the girl could not understand the man's train of thought.

”Why? Why do you want to kill me?” She could not hold back anymore and ask the man directly. Tears started to gather in her eyes as she asked that.

”Huh!?” Tang Shaoyang was flabbergasted by the girl. Then he noticed tears in her eyes were about to fall.

'What the… Why is she crying? Why does she think I am going to kill her?' A series of questions started to pop up in his mind as he tried to understand the girl.

”Who's trying to kill you? I don't and why would I?” Tears started to fall as she heard the man questioned her. She could not believe the man was playing ignorant like this. He asked her to fight against the zombies that filled the cafeteria, it was the same as an attempt to kill her.

”Because I rejected you? And now you want to kill me because of that! You try to throw me these zombies so they will eat me!” When Kang Xue replied to him, Tang Shaoyang finally understood why the girl thought he wanted to kill her.

Tang Shaoyang's lips cracked into a grin and locked his arms to the girl's waist, ”You rejected me? I don't recall you rejecting me, but I do recall you accepted it silently when I said you are mine,” with his deepened voice, he whispered to her ear.

Flick!

He released her and flicked her forehead once again, ”Stupid girl, I haven't tasted you, at all. Do you think I will let you die?” He then held her hand, the one that was holding the scythe, ”What you need to do is just slash the zombie's neck with this!” He moved her hand to make a slash motion.

Kang Xue covered her forehead with her other hand. She looked at Tang Shaoyang resentfully as she still could not believe him despite his vulgar confession.

”You may be my woman but I don't keep a useless woman by my side! You have to kill them and get…” Tang Shaoyang dropped his voice as a thought came to his mind. The girl in front of him was a doctor, she had an essential role in creating the Medical Division for his empire.

Feeling the unusual silence from the man, the girl peered at the man, 'What now? What is he scheming now?'

”Alright then, I will take care of half of them, you go kill the remaining half!” He then noticed the girl still glared at him, ”This is for your own good, girl! You can't hope for me or others to protect you forever!”

He thought the girl should realize that attributes were important at this moment. She could only get attributes by leveling up which meant she had to kill zombies.

The man was not giving her a chance to get prepared. He jumped off the stairs, attracting the zombies' attention. She then noticed the man was heading toward the big zombies near the counter.

Kang Xue was about to curse the man but her voice did not come out as she noticed the whole situation. All the zombies' attention was on the man so they chased after him.

'This is my chance…' not wasting any chance, she ran down off the stairs. She also tried to make noise as little as possible, not wanting to attract the zombies toward her. Facing one or two zombies might not be a problem for her but not dozens of them at the same time.

With a light step, she approached the closest zombie. Looking at the zombie's neck, she swung the scythe by using her both hands.

Swoosh!

The scythe was so sharp, cutting through the zombie's neck as it was tofu.

Bugh!

The noise of the head hitting the floor rang, 'Oh, shit!' Thought the girl as she realized it might attract the closest zombie. She looked around, trying to find a hiding spot so the zombies around her did not notice her presence. At the same time, she saw five zombies halt their steps.

Boom!

But then, a louder noise created from the distance. Even Kang Xue was startled by the shattering noise. She subconsciously looked toward the direction and found one big zombie was getting smashed on the counter by the man.

Thanks to this, the five zombies continued their steps toward Tang Shaoyang. Kang Xue was delighted by this, she then continued with her action. There was no technique or whatsoever, she was walking around as she beheaded the zombies while the man was making more loud noises.

As this went on, she lowered her guard down. Since the zombies were walking in one direction, she was sneaking around, claiming one head after that. Since she easily killed the zombies, she lowered her guard down. She rushed to the closest zombie and swung the scythe, it was a success and easy kill.

But right after she chopped this zombie's head, a shadow hovered on her top suddenly. Kang Xue subconsciously looked up and her eyes widened at what she was seeing. It was a zombie with long limbs, the zombie walked on the ceiling, and it jumped toward her from the top with its pointy finger aimed at her head.

She was stunned and failed to react in time. As someone who was never going on the battlefield, her reaction was slow.
