Chapter 12: Survivors??? (1/2)

Hopelessness invaded my whole being while I desperately tugged at the door handle. It was one of the few moments of my life where I actually felt death looming up to me. The first one was when I slowly turned into a rabid human, of course.

I turned around after hearing Yu Yan crying on my shoulders. She didn't cry that loud. It's a silent cry you do when you're terrified but you can't do something about it. As for Yu Sying, she was trying her best to hold it in while closing her eyes.

The rabid humans were only a few feet away from us.

Ten feet...

Five Feet...

My momentum almost made me fell forward as the shopping mall door suddenly burst open. Before my face hit the ground, however, I managed to step forward and prevent myself from falling down and embarrassing myself. I should say I did it successfully since I didn't keel over.

As if by some sort of miracle, the door opened on its own and we were saved from the horde of rabid humans outside. I heaved a sigh of relief with Yu Sying and Yu Yan.

We were saved.

How many second chances have I received now?

The first thing that occurred in my mind is to thank whoever saved me. If it was a miracle, then I'd prostrate and thank God myself but what I saw was something else.

”And so, what are you three doing in the middle of the city?” A woman's voice asked me.

An intense banging sound was heard as all the rabid humans chasing us collided into the door. They probably fell on top of each other as they desperately clawed on themselves and the door while wondering where their meal went to.

Well, not today, my friends. Sorry to burst your bubble, filthy rabid humans.

”Oh, greetings,” I greeted the lady who was rational enough to close the door for us. ”I was traveling alone when I saw these two being attacked by a rabid human. And then we were chased by the lot of them just because this mom here just had to scream after I accidentally touched her bosom while I shoved her away from the rabid humans' line of sight. And yes, it was an accident, I didn't mean anything by touching her there... wait, did I already say that?”

”Yeah, t-twice.” The lady covered her bosom as if guarding it from my harmless hands. ”What's your name?”

”Yongrui.” I simply mumbled. ”Yours?”
