CHAPTER 77 (2/2)
It was a pity there wasn’t any soil in this cave or he would definitely use it to bury these dark branches.
Jiang Xie was naturally fine. How could such slow-moving zombies hurt him?
He was just afraid that the child would be worried. Well, he didn’t know if the -365 child would be worried about him…
In short, he didn’t go too far because he was afraid that zombies would go to the cave to bully the child.
Jiang Xie returned to the cave and saw Xie Xi quietly hiding against the wall.
There was no light outside and the cave was dark. Jiang Xie’s eyesight was very high and he also had the night vision ability so he could see clearly. Xie Xi couldn’t see anything but he did his best in such a dark and dangerous environment.
Jiang Xie saw that the trampled on ash didn’t have any temperature left. He also saw the child trying hard to be motionless and his breathing was very light. The child tried his best to look around despite not being able to see anything.
“It’s me.” Jiang Xie opened his mouth. “It is safe for the time being.”
As soon as he spoke, he saw Xie Xi’s tight body relax and the wide open eyes curved… it was like a small cat putting away his claws.
So cute…
Jiang Xie had to look at the -365 goodwill to calm himself down.
Xie Xi saw the vague outline of Jiang Xie approached and felt relieved. He stretched out his hand and grabbed Jiang Xie’s clothes. Jiang Xie, “…”
Xie Xi approached him and whispered, “Master, thank you. Fortunately, you are here or I would be dead.”
The ‘master’ was fake but the rest was sincere.
If it hadn’t been for the -365 goodwill, Jiang Xie would stretch out his arms and hug this person.
Xie Xi opened his mouth. “I am too reckless. It would’ve been awful if I actually extinguished the bonfire.”
Jiang Xie wasn’t happy to hear this. “It is you who discovered that the bonfire attracted the zombies.” He found it in such a short time despite the dangerous and tense situation.
Xie Xi was shamed. “I thought it was light and didn’t think about the temperature at all.”
Jiang Xie explained, “It is because you can’t see the zombies.” If Xie Xi had night vision, he would’ve known that the zombies were drawn by temperature.
Xie Xi blinked. “I am reflecting.”
Jiang Xie, “…”
Xie Xi spoke again, “Master, a famous teacher will train fine students.”
Jiang Xie saw the brightness in Xie Xi’s eyes and could only stare at the -365 goodwill while reflecting on himself.
The fourth task was completed as the two of them talked. Xie Xi sighed silently. He had been afraid that 10 minutes referred to enduring the zombies’ attack for 10 minutes. Fortunately, it seemed that it referred to 10 minutes in the cave.
Jiang Xie was very sharp and knew what he was thinking. He was about to comfort Xie Xi when he suddenly stopped.
“Someone’s coming.” He lowered his voice and told Xie Xi.
Xie Xi opened his eyes as wide as possible but his eyesight was only slightly better than ordinary people. He couldn’t see clearly.
Jiang Xie told him, “There are three people. Two men and one woman.”
He didn’t say anything else because the three people had already run over. Xie Xi heard footsteps, rapid gasping and then some voices.
“There is a cave here. We can enter and hide!” It was a man who talked first.
Another rough male voice was heard, “Let go of me! You don’t care about him. I’ll handle it!”
Someone seemed to slap him and a woman said, “Chen Qing has been bitten by a zombie. Do you want to go back and save a zombie?”
The rough male voice spoke again, “I can’t leave him. It doesn’t matter if he becomes a zombie. As long as he completes the task and returns to the Central World…”
“You’re out of your mind!” The woman exclaimed. “He is dead after becoming a zombie. It is impossible for the dead to return to the centre!”
The rugged male voice was angry. “If he is dead, I will bring his body back! Hey, let me go!” He couldn’t bear it anymore and started to resist.
Xie Xi couldn’t see clearly and could only distinguish by listening. The rough man seemed to be tied up and would soon violently break free. The other man and woman couldn’t hold him.
The woman said, “Kong Rongliang, you are mindless! Go die if you want!” She seemed to release her hand.
The man with the rough voice called Kong Rongliang didn’t say anything and rushed out of the cave.
The woman stomped her feet and cursed before chasing him. The man in the cave hesitated a bit before actually following.
The trio didn’t see Jiang Xie and Xie Xi from beginning to end.
Jiang Xie naturally saw things clearly but he was accompanying Xie Xi in this world so he asked, “Do you want to go out and see?”
Xie Xi looked calm and his voice didn’t fluctuate much. “Go and take a look.”
Jiang Xie’s lips curved. “Do you want to save them?”
He was really a kind, little cutie.
Xie Xi wondered, “What is Master talking about? Who is going to save them? We can’t stay in the cave forever. The fire outside will soon be extinguished and isn’t it a dead end here?”
Jiang Xie, “…” Oh, this was the -365 little fox.
Xie Xi said this but he couldn’t help looking around for the three people.
This place was really strange. It had just been so dark that he couldn’t see his fingers. Now it was bright again and everything around them could be seen.
Xie Xi looked up and didn’t see the sun.
It seemed that his first main task wasn’t that simple.
Maybe it was because of the dawn but there were a lot less zombies. Even so, the forest in front of them was still dark and creepy.
At this time, a fierce scream was heard. “Go, Old Kong, go and leave me alone!”
Xie Xi saw the two men and one woman. There was also a man lying on the ground near them.
The man’s lower body was bloody and pus was gushing out, exuding a rotten smell.
Xie Xi knew this man must be the Chen Qing who was bitten by a zombie.
Kong Rongliang was rugged and tough. He looked as powerful as his last name. He took big steps and ran straight towards Chen Qing.
Chen Qing endured the severe pain and shouted, “I fucking told you to go. I have been bitten by a zombie! Both legs are gone! If you come over here, I will bite you too!”
Kong Rongliang stopped. A blue on his forehead bulged and his lips quivered as he seemed to be talking to himself. Unfortunately, he was too far away to be heard clearly.
Xie Xi frowned. He was about to say something when he suddenly stopped.
The side task had refreshed.
(5) Save them.
(5) Kill them.
Why were there two tasks for the number five task and why were they contradictory?
