What did you promise me?

Chapter 5 • 1,399 words • 12 min read

In the car, Ping Chengcheng closed her eyes and focused on feeling the power within her body.

She probably couldn’t use the full strength of her tentacles.

Although she could grow them, they were limp, likely because the drug she was injected with in the sewer was still in effect.

But her current strength was still greater than that of an average man.

That was already very strong for this little girl’s body.

Sighing, taking care of Ping Yan wasn’t difficult, but Zhou Wen… that man was cunning, truly wanting to get rid of him wouldn’t be that simple.

Unless she fully recovered her strength.

Having a gun would also work.

After driving for an hour, the small convoy stopped in front of Wanda Plaza.

Before the apocalypse, this was one of the places with the highest traffic, and there were many zombies.

But likewise, there were also many resources.

They had scoured almost all of the surrounding resource points, and in the end, could only set their sights here.

This was also one of the reasons why they mobilized the entire base’s forces today.

Nearby, dozens of bloody zombies were rushing towards them, roaring madly.

The group got out of the cars, carrying various melee weapons, and quickly eliminated all the zombies in a few strokes.

Ping Chengcheng also had a hammer, carrying it on her thin shoulders.

Everyone wore masks and non-prescription glasses, silently walking into the plaza, trying not to make any noise.

Song Ning held Ping Chengcheng’s hand, quietly comforting the girl.

“If something happens later, run as fast as you can, hide in the car, I’ll give you the car keys, you hear me? Chengcheng?”

But the girl had a stubborn look, “I don’t want to, sister, I want to stay with you.”

Song Ning was a little helpless, thinking that Ping Chengcheng was being willful, “Be obedient…”

She tried to persuade her a few more times, but the girl still didn’t change her mind, so she had to tell the girl to be careful and hide if there was an emergency.

Ping Chengcheng’s eyes flickered, she knew that Wanda Plaza wasn’t that easy to break into.

In the immediate aftermath of the apocalypse, the foot traffic here could be described as terrifying.

The large number of living people gave rise to a strong zombie mutant.

The Butcher, usually worked in selling fish, slaughtering pigs, etc., before turning into a zombie, still retaining the muscle memory of using weapons.

After devouring a large number of living people, he also became more powerful.

But Ping Chengcheng licked her lips with some excitement.

She had the ability to devour and edit genes.

If she devoured the Butcher, would new abilities appear?

The Butcher’s arms were particularly strong, which should improve her arm strength to the next level, maybe she could reach twice the strength of an adult man.

Entering the interior of Wanda Plaza, there were almost no zombies to be seen on the first floor, but everyone didn’t let their guard down.

Zombies liked to gather in clusters, which was everyone’s experience in the two months since the apocalypse.

Sometimes, just around a corner, you could encounter dozens of zombies.

Before long, after passing a corner, Zhou Wen gestured to stop.

He turned around and looked at the dozen or so people present.

“Sorry to trouble you, there are at least forty or fifty zombies ahead.”

As he spoke, he looked at Song Ning.

“Miss Song…” He was a little hesitant, every time this happened, Song Ning would be the one to handle it.

First, Song Ning would lure the zombies away, and the others would go in to move the supplies.

“Understood.” Song Ning nodded slightly.

Although she was a girl, her physical strength was very good, and she could run faster than the men present.

She first seriously instructed Ping Yan to protect Ping Chengcheng well, and then went to attract the zombies.

Ping Yan readily agreed, but in reality, he was secretly hoping that something would happen to the girl.

Things progressed smoothly, and not many more zombies appeared inside.

Zhou Wen paid more attention to Ping Chengcheng, and was surprised to find that the girl was moving supplies no slower than other adult men.

The girl looked strained, but seemed to be trying very hard.

But he didn’t have any sympathy. In the apocalypse, everyone was at risk, and it was enough to manage yourself.

“Roar!!!”

Suddenly, a zombie spotted Ping Chengcheng.

It roared and rushed towards Ping Chengcheng.

This zombie looked overly disgusting.

Its stomach was hollowed out, leaving only a string of intestines exposed outside.

Its whole body exuded a rotten smell, and its rotten face was like tree bark.

The others didn’t care about the girl’s life.

Even Ping Yan was watching from not far away.

As for Zhou Wen, he sneered, thinking that this was perfect.

Although this zombie wasn’t a threat to him, it was a catastrophe for this girl.

A potentially dangerous girl, who was also useless, could just die.

He would just tell Song Ning later that she died in an accident.

“Roar!”

The zombie came forward wrapped in an ominous wind, but the girl looked trembling, struggling to raise the hammer in her hand, as if shaking with fear.

Zhou Wen curled his lips boringly, shook his head, and prepared to leave.

“Bang!”

But an unexpected sound came, the sound of a hammer smashing a brain.

Huh?

Zhou Wen’s pupils narrowed slightly.

‘That shouldn’t be?’

He looked over curiously, and the girl was kneeling on the ground, trembling as she looked at her hands, with tears falling down.

‘Good luck?’

Before long, the girl stood up, her eyes firm, and she didn’t even vomit.

Seeing this, Zhou Wen nodded secretly.

She was better than some of the men in the shelter.

Especially that Ping Yan, who still had to vomit after killing a zombie.

This scene was also seen by several people who were moving supplies.

They hadn’t intended to help, but seeing that the girl, although it was difficult to lift the hammer, still remained calm in the face of danger and killed the zombie with one blow, they all changed their minds about her.

Before, everyone saw her relying on Song Ning, not leaving her side, and only regarded her as a burden.

Now it seemed that wasn’t the case.

For a time, several people went forward to comfort the girl.

Ping Chengcheng sobbed, sitting weakly on the ground, wiping her tears.

Her lips trembled slightly, “Wuwu, I, I killed someone wuwuwu…”

“Okay, you’re called Ping Chengcheng, right? Don’t cry, you killed a zombie, it’s not a person anymore.”

A boy patted Ping Chengcheng’s shoulder, grinning.

He tried to take the girl’s hand, but the girl wouldn’t let him.

Ping Chengcheng glared at the boy subtly.

Her hand could only be touched by Song Ning!

But the boy didn’t care, just laughed foolishly.

At this time, Song Ning came back.

She wiped the sweat from her forehead, feeling a little tired.

Luring the zombies had depleted a lot of her energy.

But she was stunned before she had walked many steps.

Why was Ping Chengcheng sitting on the ground crying?

Why was there a boy standing in front of her?

Why were there several boys walking towards her?

Why was Ping Yan so far away from the girl? Hadn’t she told Ping Yan to protect her well?

“What are you doing!?”

She walked forward angrily, staring intently at the boy standing in front of Ping Chengcheng.

The boy immediately stepped back, waving his hands awkwardly.

“Ah, no, a zombie came to grab her just now, we didn’t have time to save her…”

He was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

“What!?”

Song Ning’s eyes widened.

‘Didn’t have time? So many people, and you didn’t have time!?’

Could it be that Ping Chengcheng had been bitten by a zombie!?

She glanced at the zombie corpse on the side, its head smashed in, and then immediately crouched down, checking her caringly.

“Wuwu… sister… sister…”

The girl cried and burrowed into sister’s arms.

“I’m so scared, wuwuwu… you’re finally here…”

Song Ning looked at Ping Yan with some anger.

“What about what you promised me!?”

But Ping Yan looked like he was avoiding something, not daring to look at Song Ning.
