Chapter 94 : Zombie Empire 8 (2/2)
The person responsible for their lodging arrangements had said that the third floor was off limits. She had heard that there were only a few people on the floor at most, and one of them was just a young lady.
She hadn’t planned to go up initially but halfway through the night, she couldn’t take it anymore. She didn’t want to return to see that woman anyway so, hearing no movements upstairs, she decided to go break down the door.
“What’s that gotta do with me?” ‘People are killing over loaves of bread right now, let alone for territory!’
Zhao Yan was infuriated by Shi Sheng’s attitude. “I am going upstairs whether you like it or not! Let’s go!”
She made to go upstairs. Shi Sheng’s gaze darkened and the sword that had been dangling in her hand suddenly slashed towards Zhao Yan. Zhao Yan hadn’t noticed the sword earlier, and hadn’t expected her to use it to slash at her even less, so she was caught off guard. The blade brushed her shoulders, slicing off a strand of hair.
Shi Sheng’s wrist turned and pressed the sword against Zhao Yan’s neck. A cold sensation sank into her bones, causing fear to rise in Zhao Yan’s heart.
“Don’t move, ‘kay? This sword of mine is very sharp. I just need a liiittle bit of effort to get your neck and head to say bye-bye to each other…” The raucous atmosphere immediately calmed down, allowing Shi Sheng’s light, yet malice-filled voice to be heard clearly.
Thud thud thud…
The sounds of footsteps coming up the stairs could be heard and a few figures stepped out from the stairwell. One of them was holding a flashlight, which panned through the place before coming to rest on the stairwell to the third floor, where Shi Sheng was.
“What’s going on here?” The person who spoke was the captain of the military team that had conducted the transaction with Shi Sheng. His gaze swept over Shi Sheng before landing on Zhao Yan, who had been taken hostage. His expression turned ugly. “Zhao Yan, what were you up to? Didn’t I already warn you not to go near the third floor?”
‘One look at this young lady and you can tell she’s not a normal person. I already warned them not to go up to the third floor! This lady seems straightforward; not the type to cause trouble. The ruckus must’ve been Zhao Yan’s fault.’
“Captain Chang, can’t you see she’s threatening me with a sword?!” Zhao Yan growled through clenched teeth, her eyes radiating anger. However, she didn’t dare to move.
“Xiaonan?”
Shi Sheng’s gaze shifted to look at the person behind Chang Xin. Qi Mingxue was dressed in leather and looking very cool. She stepped out from behind Chang Xin, her expression showing worry. “Why are you here? You just left without saying anything, we were worried. Let go of Zhao Yan first. If there are any misunderstandings, let’s talk it out.”
‘Pei! Worried I’m(bbb) not dead? You were the one who ambushed me last time yet you’re now here to fake concern? Who gave you the face?!’
“Ms Qi is acquainted with this young lady?” Chang Xin’s eyes lit up. He had been furiously thinking of a plan to deal with the situation, andthough the lady looked very young, she didn’t give him the impression a normal young lady would.
“Er, she’s my cousin.” Qi Mingxue spoke in a low voice. “Sorry about that Captain Chang. My cousin’s personality isn’t very good. She didn’t mean to cause trouble, I’ll go persuade her to stop. Sorry for any bother she might have caused.”
‘Fuck you! Dare to slander me in front of my face! Your face is really thick ah female lead-SAMA to push the blame on me!’
Chang Xin’s brows furrowed lightly. ‘Qi Mingxue means to say this lady was the instigator? Her temper does seem a bit bad… I could feel it when we were negotiating earlier.’
He looked at Shi Sheng, who still had her sword to Zhao Yan’s neck. ‘Her expression looks a bit… er, gentler? Or is it just me?’
“Qi Mingxue, hurry up and get her to release me!” Zhao Yan roared upon hearing Qi Mingxue’s words. Shi Sheng was a bit surprised. ‘Zhao Yan knows Qi Mingxue? Since they’ve already met, why is Zhao Yan here?’
