“Don’t even try to get me to turn around like that. All I want to do right now is enjoy every inch of your lovely face. I wouldn’t even blink if I had the choice.” The hoodlum leader flashed me a leering smile before ending off as such. “A beauty like you will be more than enough fun to last me a lifetime!”
“…” How I desperately wanted to cut those eyes out right now. At the same time, I felt strangely exhausted by his idiocy as well. His two lackeys were still clutching their throats behind him in an awfully rigid manner. There was no doubt that zombification was upon them, and soon these newly minted zombies would leap upon the closest target to them: that hoodlum leader.
All I could hope for was that this idiot wouldn’t shoot me by mistake in a fit of panic…
“Woo… they are going to awaken soon…” Jiaojiao sneaked a peek from behind Bitong’s back. “They are going to turn into zombies…”
“Step back.” I herded the girls back a few steps.
Seeing that, the hoodlum leader mistook that as a sign that we were afraid. Jiaojiao’s whimpering had clearly fallen on deaf ears as he proudly waved his gun about, lips curled into a disgusting smirk.
Yet just as he was about to open his rotten mouth, he felt something grab his shoulders. Unlike the other time however, both his shoulders were grabbed…
“Hey! What are you two trying to do? Scare me or something? Don’t push your luck or I might shoot you two as well!”
It was only when his shoulders were grabbed that Jiaojiao’s words came back to him. However, he merely shrugged it off as his two lackeys pulling a prank on him.
They were definitely the culprits here… but they were also zombies now, and they had just taken a chomp out of him…
“Move!”
There was no way in heck I was wasting another second on a scumbag who had a gun trained on me just seconds ago. While those two zombified lackeys were keeping him busy, I grabbed the girls and ran. Even if the outside of the elevator was still unbearably hot, now wasn’t time for hesitation anymore.
“****… get back here this instant and save me…”
As I zipped past the hoodlum leader, I had, for the briefest of moments, considered slicing off that gun-wielding hand of his. While I might have had no problem killing a zombie, doing the same to a human being just felt wrong. Even if he was ultimately going to become a zombie, he wasn’t one yet, which was why I merely thought about slicing off his hand.
“Damn it… my gun…”
By now, the hoodlum leader was so preoccupied with the pain that he dropped his gun out accidentally… Well. That saved me some time.
As for the gun he dropped, I had never once considered picking up something so dirty…
Now that we were safely out of the elevator, Bitong did not waste any time at all in shutting the door behind us remotely. She then sprinted for a good distance without turning back, until she finally began panting a little.
Normally, a ten meter sprint like that would have been manageable even for an unathletic girl like herself, but with Jiaojiao on her back, the task was a lot harder, despite Jiaojiao not being that heavy.
“Big sis… Jiaojiao is fine to walk on her own now…” Realising as well how tired Bitong was, she offered to get off like the good child that she was.
“But…” Bitong hesitated a little. She was worried Jiaojiao would get frightened again, and that would make things even worse than if she had just stayed on her back.
