Chapter 109: Save the Savior (15)

Ren Zhu looked up and saw Lingling’s malicious smile. At the same time, he also saw the man and woman beside her unleash their abilities at the absolute fastest speeds.

Lu Yan raised her hand and up came a wall of yellow dirt, directly blocking the floor’s exit. The man gathered pale blue-green rays of light in his hand and encased the three of them within those rays of light. The three were like speed ability users; all at once, their silhouettes disappeared.

Based on the three people’s well coordinated actions, it was obvious that they had done this many times before. Also, the reason Lingling had been bold enough to speak so brazenly was because she knew she wouldn’t bring any danger to the three of them by doing so. On the contrary, the people she couldn’t stand would go die.

As Ren Zhu looked at the yellow earthen wall, coldness appeared in his eyes. In an instant, the energy surrounding Yi Xiao’s whole body changed greatly; the zombies who originally wanted to rush forward and bite them were suddenly like little lambs who had caught sight of a wolf. They stopped immediately and, after being dazed for a few seconds, turned around and ran away!

Ren Zhu looked at the suddenly deserted underground laboratory as well as the shivering zombies huddled against the wall and felt the mood was a bit strange.

“…If you were a little more powerful, wouldn’t you be able to open up a safe zone for everyone?”

Jiangshi King Yi gave his partner a stiff, scornful glance. “Do you think I’m side by side with the sun, that I can be there every day?”

To these noisy words he had nothing to say.

“Ahem! Those three really are the worst of humankind. We should evict them from humankind and switch them to another race. I expect that they’re outside right now, happily thinking that no matter how strong we are, that this group of zombies will bite us to death.” Ren Zhu looked at the solid yellow earthen wall and said to it, “Collapse for me!”

Earthen wall, ‘Hehe, I’m immune to psychic ability attacks!’

Jiangshi King Yi’s fist shattered it into pieces.

Earthen wall, ‘……I hate high level physical ability attacks QAQ!’

By that time, Lingling, Lu Yan, and Wei Bo had already gone outside the research institute. Lu Yan’s expression was a little poor, “Lingling, although the problem was solved this time, don’t be so wilful next time. If this sort of thing happens more than a few times, we won’t be able to stay here any longer. We’ve already been to three of the four big bases. The Yuan City base is very good in all aspects, I don’t want to go elsewhere.”

Lingling heard this and shrugged her shoulders, unconcerned, “Isn’t there still the Bei City base we haven’t been to yet? So, we’re not without a way out. Also, I’m angry. Those two clearly found something, but when I asked them nicely, they still ignored me and didn’t respond to me. It isn’t my fault, they were obviously the rude ones.”

Lu Yan frowned, “Last time, you willfully entrapped and killed a group of ability users because people weren’t paying attention to you. To this day, the Xi City base is still investigating that incident. You must have a limit to your willfulness. If by any chance it’s discovered, it will not end well for the three of us. You…”

“Okay! Shut up!” Lingling had an unpleasant expression as she interrupted Lu Yan. Her normally innocent seeming face was now completely vicious and indifferent. “Why are you lecturing me? Are you relying on your earth ability? There are plenty of earth ability users in the world, there are more with or without you. I don’t need you; if you disapprove, you can leave! I won’t stop you. After you leave, I can find an earth ability user who will listen to me. At any rate, I have lots of food and equipment, whoever follows me has the equivalent of a walking grain silo. What am I afraid of?!”

When Lu Yan heard Lingling’s words, her expression was stiff. She looked at Lingling’s disapproving, high and mighty look and really wanted to leave her. However, in the end, she endured these words because what Lingling said was right. In this crisis-laden apocalypse, Lingling had a space ability and all sorts of abundant grain reserves, while others did not have any. Only by following her could she have the life she wanted, even if this sort of life was merely having more meat and rice to eat than others or wearing clothes that were cleaner and neater than others.

Wei Bo saw that their argument had deadlocked and attempted to mediate, “Okay, okay, Lingling don’t be angry, just now it was those two people who were in the wrong. If they had just told you about what they found, you wouldn’t have acted like that, right? So they should die. However, Lu Yan has good intentions. Lingling, even if we have to go to the Bei City base afterward, right now we are still within this ability user team. Just relying on Lu Yan and me, we wouldn’t be able to fight against the entire ability user team. We had better return and clean up our traces, what do you guys say?”

Lu Yan nodded without speaking. However, Lingling, with the haughty snort of a winner, said, “What Wei-ge said is right.”

But this time, another voice was heard.

“I don’t think what he said is right, the people who should die are you all.”

On hearing this, Lingling and the others’ eyes went wide and they quickly turned their heads. They saw Ren Zhu and Yi Xiao, safe and sound, so much so that there weren’t any marks on them.

Lingling, cried out, disbelieving, “How did you get out?!”

Ren Zhu looked at her calmly and slowly revealed a smile, “The zombies inside thought we weren’t tasty, so they let us go. I promised them I would send you three to accompany them to run ten laps. So now you will go jog in the underground lab. Perhaps you and the zombies can become the best of friends.”

Lingling felt she had heard the most ridiculous joke. “What joke are you making, who will go? Aaah! Why am I going there?! Stop it now!! Stop it now!! I don’t want to go meet zombies! Lu-jie, Wei-ge, come save me, quickly!!”

However, this time Lu Yan and Wei Bo were unable to fend for themselves, much less look after others. Because what Teacher Ren just said was “you three,” they frightenedly discovered that they were the same as Lingling, completely unable to control their bodies. As they went, they got faster, until they were jogging into the place they had just left. And waiting inside were at least a hundred vile-looking zombies.

“Wait! I was only obeying Lingling’s orders, that’s all. This wasn’t at all what I wanted to do! I am a wind ability user! As long as you promise to let me go, I can work like an ox and a horse for you along the way, protecting your safety!!” After Wei Bo found he could not stop his body, he was in an extremely panic-stricken state. As he struggled, he turned toward Ren Zhu and Yi Xiao and cried out. Immediately after Lu Yan and Lingling heard him, they also cried out, one after the other.

“Teacher Ren! Just then I wanted to stop Lingling! Listen to me, she is wrong to act this way, but I really had no way to stop her. I know I have aided and abetted the wicked, but please give me a chance to mend my ways! From now on I will nicely help other people, I will turn over a new leaf, I will not do these atrocious things again!”

“Shut up! Both of you shut up! If you’re going to die just die! In this world, there are wind and earth ability users aplenty, but I cannot die! I am a valuable space ability user! In the entire country, there are no more than five space ability users like me! Do you two know what ‘space ability user’ means?! I have a five hundred square meter portable space and inside I’ve piled up food and all manner of high quality goods. Are you really not interested? Do you not see how valuable I am? As long as you two let me go, I will give you half of all of these things! Do you hear me? That’s several tons of food!”

Lingling shouted at Ren Zhu and Yi Xiao at the top of her voice, but this shouting actually didn’t get any response at all from the two. All at once, Lingling’s face became deathly pale. Until now, she had never thought that she would be ignored like this after speaking about her ability! How was this possible? Were they both idiots? Did they not need to eat?! Did they not know the value of food? How could they watch her go to her death so unfeelingly?!!

“Okay…okay. I’ll give you all of the food, okay?! Don’t take a yard after you’ve gotten an inch! Can you bear how big the loss would be if I died?

“Okay, okay, okay!! I apologize! I apologize, okay?!! I shouldn’t have treated you like that, I was wrong, am I not allowed to change? I will completely, sincerely mend my ways, is that still not allowed?!”

After Lingling angrily shouted out her last sentence, she suddenly found her body was no longer being controlled. Her face immediately showed a happy expression and she looked up at Ren Zhu. Looking as if she was scared he would back out, she said again, “I will completely, sincerely mend my ways. Da-gege, please let me go!”

Ren Zhu looked coldy at this girl who, based on age, should be a college student, and said, “As a teacher, I am lenient with all students. Even with the little devils who break the rules, I give them a chance to mend their ways. After all, men are not saints, so how can they be free from faults, correct?”

“Correct, correct, correct! What teacher said is all correct!”

“Incorrect. There is one type of student, or perhaps I should say one type of person, that I absolutely will not give this sort of chance,” Ren Zhu’s face was blank. “You are this type, a person of unscrupulous behavior, beyond all redemption.”

Lingling’s smiling expression froze all at once, “Why, why did you say I’m beyond all redemption? Didn’t, didn’t I say I would change?!”

“I’ve seen people mend their ways, but not people like you.

“So, please go die.

“With your death, perhaps many people who shouldn’t die will be able to survive.”
