Chapter 315: Fight!

Translator: EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Rui Bing had a terrible look on her face. With the swarms of creatures outside, a Jie expert such as her was still vulnerable to the innate revulsion towards such disgusting creatures, as was typical for the fairer sex.

When Shi Fuyin was shocked by their experience on Lunaris last time, her fragile body deteriorated even further. She had to be moved to Zhou Jian planet, which offered better medical facilities. With nowhere to go herself, Rui Bing decided to stay by Shi Fuyin’s side. She had developed a certain tenderness towards the girl.

Shi Chongming was out on an errand, leaving only her and Shi Fuyin. The sudden appearance of so many of those creatures outside left Rui Bing deeply shaken.

Rui Bing witnessed with her own eyes how the urban streets were transformed into a living hell. There was blood everywhere. People who could not escape fast enough were chewed to pieces. The sight of blood, flesh and organs here and there was nauseating.

The victims wailed in pain and distress, or shrieked in fear and despair. It was as if the world was turned inside out.

Rui Bing stood by the window, watching the tragedy happening outside from above, feeling deeply troubled.

Just what had the world come to? Why was this happening?

There was a pedestrian who could not make it in time, and his one leg was bitten off by one of those huge rats. Blood gushed out from the wound, bloodying the rat’s face. The rat chewed on the leg for a few times and swallowed it. Its blood red eyes shone menacingly. The pedestrian’s face twisted in pain from the sudden amputation, but before he could react any further, the other rats swarmed over him and finished him off. Rui Bing saw everything, including the expression of the pedestrian in the last moments of his life. That twisted face lingered in her mind, and her heart ached.

Rui Bing inhaled deeply to calm herself, and began to assess the situation. However, the conclusions she reached from her observation of the situation outside gave her pause.

The rats were strong, and astonishingly so. Their teeth could gnaw through the strong compound material used to built the walls, as easy as chewing a biscuit in their mouths.

”If this was the case, then we’re defenseless,” Rui Bing thought to herself. The hospital’s walls were all made of the same compound material, which could not withstand the assault of the rats.

She would have to fight! Rui Bing’s eys glowed with determination. As a Jie expert, she would not easily lose hope against hurdles like these.

As she walked to Shi Fuyin’s bed, Shi Fuyin woke up. She opened her eyes wide and looked at Rui Bing, and called sweetly, ”Sister Bing.”

Rui Bing caressed her forehead and asked softly, ”How do you feel?”

”Much better,” Shi Fuyin smiled in reply despite her pale appearance.

Rui Bing looked at Shi Fuyin with sympathy, and could not help but worry. If they leave the hospital, would Shi Fuyin’s condition worsen without the medical facilities available here? There was no other alternative, however. Rui Bing gritted her teeth and said to Shi Fuyin, ”It’s chaos out there. We’re leaving now. I’ll carry you.”

”Ah!” Shi Fuyin gasped in surprised. ”What about Uncle Ming?”

Rui Bing shook her head. ”I don’t know why he’s not back either, maybe he’s in trouble.” Rui Bing was right. Shi Chongming was trapped somewhere outside, and in a worse situation than them.

Rui Bing walked to the window for another look, and knew that they could not afford to delay any further. She quickly helped Shi Fuyin into her clothes. Shi Fuyin managed awkwardly due to her weak body. She was wrapped up into a large bundle since she was still feeling chilly.

Rui Bing walked to the bed and tore off a few strips of cloth from the bedsheet. She took a strip and carefully blindfolded Shi Fuyin with it. She did not want the young lady to see the hellish world outside. Shi Fuyin seemed to understand her, and smiled sweetly as she accepted the blindfold without protest. Rui Bing took the headphones from the bedside and put it on Shi Fuyin. The headphones had good noise-cancelling features. Once it was put on, she would not be able to hear anything but the beautiful music coming from the headphones.

Rui Bing tied Shi Fuyin onto herself tightly. She was not scared, nor did she hesitate as she began to move.

Ye Chong turned back to see a lady holding onto some chips in her arms and frantically looking at the ground around her. The soil around her was rippling like the surface of boiling water.

Ye Chong leaped and reached her side. He gripped her arms and began to run forward.

Clatter! The chips fell from her arms. The lady paled, and cried, ”My chips, my chips!”

She struggled in Ye Chong’s hands, trying to free herself and head back for her chips. However, Ye Chong’s hands held onto to her strongly like pincers, and no matter how much she tried, she could not break free.
