CHAPTER 78 (2/2)

Kong Rongliang wasn’t stupid. Once he saw the fire, he knew it was artificially created. Then Xie Xi and Jiang Xie appeared at this time and he instantly understood. “Thank you!”

Xie Xi told him, “The fire will soon go out. We have to quickly find a place to hide!”

Kong Rongliang nodded again while the Chen Qing in his arms started scolding him, “Put me down! Stop dragging down other people!”

Xie Xi glanced at him and quickly looked away. Sure enough, this appearance was terrible… there were pus and decaying flesh but Kong Rongliang didn’t care.

Jiang Xie knew what Xie Xi was thinking and felt this person was funny and cute. He moved a bit faster, quietly separating Xie Xi and Kong Rongliang and blocking Chen Qing from view.

Xie Xi was startled and glanced at him.

Jiang Xie winked with his left eye.

Xie Xi stiffened and turned away. He thought in his heart, ‘Too flashy!’

Since this was disrespectful towards his teacher, he held back and didn’t say it.

Jiang Xie and Xie Xi’s fire wasn’t small. It burned for seven or eight minutes. This was enough time for them to distance themselves from the zombie tide and they temporarily hid at the foot of a mountain.

Zombies chased after heat sources but they were afraid of the light of the world. It was relatively safe under this bright rock.

Kong Rongliang put down Chen Qing and thanked Xie Xi and Jiang Xie.

Xie Xi shook his head and said, “It is nothing.” He didn’t do anything other than lighting a fire.

Jiang Xie stared at him and didn’t speak. Xie Xi knew he was asking about the progress of the task.

Xie Xi took a look and froze.

Jiang Xie, “?”

Xie Xi directly shared the side task.

(6) Find him a pair of legs.

(6) Kill them.

It was a multiple choice question again. What was searching for legs? Who were they for? Chen Qing? What about after finding them? Could they be restored?

The other option was more toxic. If he didn’t want to look for legs then he wouldn’t look. Why did he need to kill someone? He still needed to kill them? Was it because Chen Qing would die and Kong Rongliang would retaliate? That’s why he needed to kill both of them?

How was this side task so unfair?

Xie Xi watched Jiang Xie and Jiang Xie watched him back.

Xie Xi’s mouth moved, ‘I want to look for legs.’

Jiang Xie, ‘Wait, I will go quickly.’

Xie Xi, ‘I’ll go.’

Jiang Xie, ‘The apprentice should be obedient.’

Xie Xi, “…” He suddenly regretted pretending to be teacher and apprentice. He should’ve said that he was Jiang Xie’s saviour and Jiang Xie accompanied him to pay him back. Then Jiang Xie would be obedient!

Unfortunately, it was already too late.

However, it wasn’t difficult to find a pair of legs. There were zombies everyone and Jiang Xie could easily find a pair of legs.

Xie Xi was somewhat disgusted by the zombies…

Kong Rongliang was saying, “What should I do? How can I help you with this injury?”

Chen Qing cursed. “What fucking help? I am dead. Even a god can’t save me!”

“You can be cured as long as you go back to the centre.”

“How can I go back when I can’t accomplish the task?”

Kong Rongliang told him, “I will help you do it.”

Chen Qing shouted, “You are dreaming. Wait for me to become a zombie and I will kill you first!”

Xie Xi glanced at Chen Qing. Chen Qing was fierce towards Kong Rongliang but he was more normal towards Xie Xi. “This little brother, quickly take this idiot and leave. I really will drag you down!”

Xie Xi knew that he would have to face more disgusting zombies in the future and forced himself to look at his half zombie. “What will you do when we leave?”

Chen Qing told him, “It isn’t a big deal to die.” Xie Xi replied, “Death is easy. What if you want to die but can’t die?”

Chen Qing was stunned.

Xie Xi emphasized, “Seeing you like this, you haven’t lost your mind, which means you won’t be a mindless zombie. If you become a new species, what if you still keep your mind but you’re filled with a desire to eat people?”

Kong Rongliang and Chen Qing, “!”

“Don’t say that I didn’t warn you.” Xie Xi’s eyes narrowed. “At that time, you won’t be able to die even if you want to.”

The foolish man and half zombie was stupefied.

Jiang Xie’s ears were so good that he heard this even when he was collecting legs.

He smiled. “This little liar.”

Jiang Xie dragged back the legs where he saw that Kong Rongliang and Chen Qing were quiet and a bit stunned.

Xie Xi was cleaning his ears.

Jiang Xie thought he would be afraid of this disgusting thing and placed the legs behind him. “I found it.”

Xie Xi’s eyes lit up and he flattered, “Master, you are really fast.”

Wasn’t he also quick to compliment? Jiang Xie placed the legs next to Chen Qing and took advantage of this to block the zombie.

He motioned to Xie Xi to look at the next task.

(7) Put the legs on him.

(7) Kill them.
