Chapter 95: Save the saviour (1)
Chapter 95: Save the saviour (1)
The Xu family’s affairs were a popular topic for a while following their imprisonment, and after a month, it became a thing of the past. Besides a small amount of people, no one would continue to pay attention to this former Xu family that has already collapsed.
Afterwards, the ‘Teacher Ren Unusual Incident Consultation’ Weibo account that Ren Zhu had registered on the Internet also quietly appeared and began to receive requests for help from all over the Internet.
Ren Zhu had thought that this seemingly bogus Weibo account wouldn’t attract many people, but the subsequent development greatly exceeded his expectations. In this world, he needed to save at least a hundred evil spirits. 90% of his mission ended up being achieved through this Weibo account. Perhaps it was because after being separated by the Internet, people felt that they didn’t need to expose their truest side. Those who usually couldn’t express themselves well or were afraid and doubtful could all speak their mind to the person who doesn’t know them on the other side of the Internet.
So, approximately three years later, Ren Zhu completed his mission in this world. The types of tasks he received were all kinds of weird and fantastical. There was an evil spirit who insisted on repaying its benefactor, but as a result, it almost scared its benefactor to death. There were two ghosts who were rivals for the affection of the most handsome boy in school, but almost crushed this handsome boy to death in bed. There was also one who felt so much resentment because it couldn’t redeem its lottery ticket that it wasn’t able to reincarnate……
In short, in this world, having always firmly believed in science, Teacher Ren calmly used his pseudo-science abilities to save non-human beings. Every day was wonderful. In addition, he was forced by his master companion to learn some basic Taoist techniques, super self-defence skills, as well as swordsmanship to fight against demons. However, as he got older, Yi Xiao became more uneasy.
Until the final day, Ren Zhu finally couldn’t help but ask: “What exactly are you worried about? I even ate that multicoloured stone, okay?”
Yi Xiao’s face darkened: “Looking at your face, I feel that there’s a dark cloud hanging over your head, an extremely bloody aura of an impending disaster.”
Old man Ren’s mouth twitched: “Is your brain not working? With you here, how can there be the bloody aura of disaster?”
Old Master Yi frowned: “I’m talking about your next life.”
Ren Zhu: “…… Can you stop talking nonsense? Since when were you able to even calculate things related to the next life?”
Yi Xiao rolled his eyes, so Ren Zhu changed his way of asking: “Okay, then tell me, what do you want to do in your next life?”
Yi Xiao seemed a little surprised by this question and was silent for a moment: “Fuck you?”
Ren Zhu almost flew into a rage, so Yi Xiao hurriedly said: “Be the strongest in the world, so that whatever you want to do, I’ll be able to accompany you.”
Ren Zhu raised an eyebrow: “Aren’t you already the world’s strongest?” Regardless of the Yin or Yang boundaries, they would both take a detour when they see you.
Yi Xiao held his hand and laid down: “In that world, it might be a little difficult.”
Ren Zhu first laughed: “Which world is that world. How do you know it’s a little……?!”
Ren Zhu fiercely turned his head: “How do you know what the next world is like? You……” Do you know about the system? Who exactly are you? Why is it that every wish you have would come true in your next life? What exactly do you know that I don’t?
There was so much that Ren Zhu wanted to say, but before he could say these words, Yi Xiao slowly closed his eyes and threw a word at him: “Intuition.”
Then, Yi Xiao no longer said anything. Ren Zhu also gradually closed his eyes and heard the system prompt that hadn’t sounded for a long time.
[Ding. Congratulations to the host for finally dying of old age in this world! Congratulations for completely solving the problem of being a single dog for a century! The next world is a high risk world. The host should thank your golden thigh. Now releasing the mission for the next world: save the saviour. I wish the host good luck!]
Ren Zhu felt that the system was getting more and more talkative, but it seemed that it has upgraded a lot since the first world. This time, the feeling of entering the next world was much more comfortable than the times before. Ren Zhu once again felt that there might have been some good changes to the system.
It was just that his good mood was instantly shattered when he opened his eyes.
Ren Zhu looked in disbelief at the scene of desolation before him. Before he could react, he heard a shout coming from behind him: “Is the one in front a human or a ghost?! The zombie is already catching up! Why are you still daydreaming!!”
Ren Zhu abruptly turned around and saw a severely decaying inhuman being that was changed beyond recognition, approaching him at a speed that absolutely didn’t match its body shape. Running in front of this inhuman being were also two 16 or 17 year old youths.
Teacher Ren: “……” The system is really getting more and more rubbish. Let’s not mention that there were ghosts last time, at least it was still a normal human world. But what is this? The end of the world? So the mission is to save the saviour? How is this saving the saviour?! This is practically saving the world!! No wonder Yi Xiao was still so worried about him when he was about to die. He really should be worried! This world is besieged by zombies!
Ren Zhu turned around and ran. He was then pleasantly surprised to find that his physical fitness was pretty good. In any case, he must first get past the crisis in front of him! Ren Zhu cursed the system in his heart as he ran. It was really inhumane to make an old man like him do such strenuous exercise!
It’s just that Ren Zhu hadn’t run far when he suddenly heard a cry of alarm behind him. He subconsciously turned his head and saw the two youths running behind him. One of them had fallen down because he ran too fast and tripped over. What caused Ren Zhu to feel a little moved was that his companion didn’t abandon him because he was afraid, but instead clenched his teeth and went back to help him up.
“Stupid dog! Why did you come back?! You don’t have any abilities at all. Why are you still trying to be a hero?”
“Shut up, dead cat! Laozi came back to save you. Why are you still being fussy?!”
Ren Zhu looked at the actions of these two youths and directly turned around to run towards them. He then shouted at the inhuman being: “Stand still for 5 minutes!”
[Ding. The host has triggered the class teacher’s roar plus corporal punishment skill: The target zombie will stand still for 5 minutes. Because the target has no IQ or brain, it cannot be mentally affected. Host, please adapt as soon as possible.]
Teacher Ren’s roar was so imposing that not only the zombie, even the two youths supporting each other also subconsciously stood up straight. The one who was called stupid dog also revealed a sad expression that said ‘Teacher, I’m wrong. I don’t dare anymore.’
Ren Zhu walked up to these two youths and said to them what they had previously said to him: “What are you two doing? Why are you still daydreaming?! Hurry up and run!”
As soon as he said this, the two youths abruptly returned to reality. One of the youths with slightly upturned eyes subconsciously turned his head and his mouth instantly opened into a big O. This expression was really too exaggerated, causing the other tall youth with yellow hair to also look back and become shocked.
“H-h-how come it’s standing still?!” The cat eyed youth said in shock. He then looked at Ren Zhu in disbelief: “Dage! You’re so powerful!”
“It really isn’t moving at all!” The yellow haired youth almost bowed down to Ren Zhu: “Dage, from now on we will be your little brothers! Please let us hug your thigh! We can fight zombies and look for food ourselves. It’s fine so long as Dage helps us at critical moments! I study physical education, my friend studies medicine. We are both very useful!”
The yellow haired youth said this and the cat eyed youth next to him also nodded. This scene was really quite comical. Ren Zhu nodded and then shook his head: “Are there only the two of you here? You guys didn’t take shelter with other people? We should first find a place to rest. I have a few questions I want to ask you guys.”
The yellow haired youth quickly patted his chest: “I know a place where we can take refuge. Dage, follow me!”
He said this and then ran towards a building diagonally in front of them. Ren Zhu and the cat eyed youth followed him. While running, the cat eyed youth introduced himself and the yellow hair’s name.
“I’m called Mao Gan Cao. That yellow hair is called Gou Jian Fei. Dage, you can call us Xiao Mao and Xiao Gou.”
Ren Zhu couldn’t help but let out a laugh. Mao Gan Cao rolled his eyes: “Okay. Dage, call me Gan Cao and yellow hair Ah Fei.” He and Gou Jian Fei grew up together. They have long been accustomed to their friends and even their families making fun of their names. Every time they had a fight, everyone would say that it’s a cat-dog fight. Sometimes, they would also call him Xiao Mao and Gou Jian Fei Xiao Gou. For this reason, Gou Jian Fei had gotten into many fights with other people. In the end, it was because of Gou Jian Fei’s body that was as sturdy as a Tebitan mastiff that he was able to beat the people who teased them into submission. They were then able to have peace.
But this peace didn’t last very long. The end of the world came.
Gou Jian Fei took Ren Zhu and Mao Gan Cao to a household on the first floor of an old-fashioned building. The house didn’t have any of the blood or wreckage Ren Zhu had imagined. This should be the hiding place of Xiao Mao and Xiao Gou.
“Boss, sit down! I’ll open a bottle of coke for you!” Gou Jian Fei closed the door and drew the curtains, leaving a small gap in the bottom right corner of the window for surveying with binoculars.
On this side, Mao Gan Cao started to talk about the key points.
“Dage, you don’t know why the world became like this? Could it be that for the past half a month, you were cultivating and asleep? How could you not know about such a huge event as a meteorite crashing to earth?! Then, you also wouldn’t know that the meteorite brought the zombie virus, right?”
Ren Zhu’s face was a little stiff when he heard this. So this apocalypse was caused by an external virus? If this is the case, then this virus certainly wouldn’t be easy to solve. “…… I was recuperating outside in the suburbs before. My mentality wasn’t too good. I then found that all the servants in the villa had disappeared, so I came out by myself.”
Gou Jian Fei’s eyes widened when he heard this: “Dage, you luck is pretty good ah.”
Ren Zhu nodded: “However, what is the situation now? Can that zombie virus infect humans through the air? If that’s the case, then why haven’t all the humans turned into zombies?”
Mao Gan Cao shook his head: “It’s not spread through the air. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have any way to survive. This virus is mainly spread through blood. It is said that in the very beginning, a researcher from an institute accidentally cut his finger while studying the meteorite. He then became delirious and started to recklessly bite people. In the end, the virus spread too quickly and humanity met a huge crisis.”
Ren Zhu softly sighed: “What was the nation’s response?”
“When that incident happened, the nation set up military defence lines around major military regions. At present, there are defence lines around North China, Central China, Southern China and Northwest China. North City, South City, West City and Primary City are the four safest major cities. However, only half a month as passed. A lot of things are still uncertain. Fortunately, the satellite wireless communication can be used. The nation still sends us information at certain times. Otherwise, people like us who didn’t have the time to run out of the city would already be dead.”
“The nation’s response wasn’t slow at all. Then……”
“The zombies are evolving very fast. Dage, didn’t you find that the speed of the zombie you stopped was almost faster than a car? It’s already a corpse, how could it still run so fast?! When zombies first broke out, their speed were all very slow, but in the past few days, dead cat and I have already run into zombies that have super high strength, can run extremely fast, and can spray fireballs! If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I would have thought that I was in a fantasy world!” Gou Jian Fei was obviously very distressed with the changes to this world.
Listening to his description, Ren Zhu also felt a little distressed.
It really is a garbage system! Teacher Ren wiped his face, missing his golden thigh.
“Dage, can you tell me what skill you used? You were able to make the zombie stand still in an instant! So powerful! With this kind of ability, we can go anywhere! We can go to the Primary City base closest to here to ask for protection!”
Teacher Ren thought for a moment and sincerely said: “This was the reason why I was previously admitted to a psychiatric hospital. I suddenly felt that I would have superpowers, but unfortunately, no one believed me.”
Mao Gan Cao and Gou Jian Fei then said at the same time: “I believe!”
