Chapter 30: Deadly Infection 15
There were eight people opposite them, all young and strong, armed with weapons.
The most crucial point was the bodies they had seen along the way; these people likely already had lives on their hands.
Chu Yian’s face turned pale.
She and Lu Qingyuan were no match for eight strong young men.
Seeing this, she made a decisive choice to pay up and avoid disaster.
“Hello, big brothers, we really couldn’t survive in the building anymore, so we thought of leaving for the countryside to stay with relatives.
The boxes are full of supplies.
Big brothers, please leave us some food for the road; everything else is yours.”
“Ho! It’s rare to meet someone so sensible.”
The leading man looked at her, a meaningful smile on his face.
Chu Yian looked at his expression, an ominous premonition stirring within her.
“If it were a day ago, I might have let you go.
But unfortunately, now…”
The young man deliberately paused, then revealed a ferocious expression, “I’ve been infected with that damn disease, and since I’m not going to live anyway, I might as well drag a few more down with me!”
It was only then that Chu Yian suddenly realized: these people weren’t wearing masks!
However, it was already too late.
The man and his companions behind him lunged forward simultaneously.
“Teacher Lu, run!”
Chu Yian shouted, charging ahead herself.
It wasn’t that she was abandoning her teammate; it was just that at a time like this, she really couldn’t worry about Teacher Lu!
Chu Yian ran quite a distance before stopping, because she felt like those people hadn’t followed her.
They really hadn’t followed; Teacher Lu had stopped all eight of them by himself!
No, it was Teacher Lu who had single-handedly taken on all eight of them!
He wielded the Fangtian Halberd, truly like Lu Bu reborn.
In ancient times, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, the three heroes, fought Lu Bu; today, Teacher Lu faced the mob alone.
Chu Yian was completely stunned; a man who could wield a Fangtian Halberd was indeed not to be trifled with.
While she was in a daze, Lu Qingyuan had already thrust his halberd into the chest of the leader of the eight.
In just half a minute, of the original eight people, only six remained.
The remaining six were scared senseless; they had never expected their opponent to be so fierce and ruthless.
The six exchanged glances, then scattered like startled birds.
Lu Qingyuan glanced at Chu Yian, who had run away and then run back, “Let’s go.”
Without anyone to stop him, Lu Qingyuan went to his car.
It was a low-key, spacious SUV.
After placing the suitcase and the Fangtian Halberd inside, the two drove off.
With Lu Qingyuan’s violent suppression, no one dared to block their vehicle.
In the dead of night, they were the only car driving out.
Inside the residential area buildings, there were eyes watching them everywhere.
At this moment, some were suffering misfortune; some were committing atrocities; and others were hiding in their homes, numbly watching it all, silently praying that they wouldn’t be next.
Chu Yian took a final look at the residential area in the rearview mirror of the car.
This was her second time leaving the residential area in the more than ten days since entering the game, and she would never return.
The vehicle drove onto the main road.
The dim yellow streetlights couldn’t illuminate the path ahead, and the trees on both sides of the road resembled monstrous, clawing beasts.
Chu Yian saw that the car crashed by the roadside was still there, untouched.
There were more dark grey animals on the road, which would hide far away when the vehicle’s lights approached.
In her daze, Chu Yian finally remembered an important question, “Teacher Lu, where are we going now?”
“My home.”
“You still have a home.”
Chu Yian said reflexively, then Lu Qingyuan looked at her coldly.
“No, I mean, since you have a place to live, why were you renting in the residential area?”
“That was just for storing things.”
Who knew that as soon as he moved his things in, an infectious disease would suddenly appear, and the residential area would be put under lockdown.
Lu Qingyuan’s own residence was in the Western Suburbs Villa Area, a forty-minute drive away.
Along the way, it was pitch black everywhere, and occasionally, people could be seen lying on the ground, in the grass, or on roadside benches.
In the darkness of the night, it was unclear whether these people were asleep or already dead, and at this point, no one wanted to investigate further.
The small car drove further and further off the main road, finally arriving at his detached villa.
As the vehicle approached the house, Lu Qingyuan swiped twice on the car’s touchscreen, and the previously dark villa instantly lit up.
The main gate automatically opened, welcoming its owner’s return.
All this high technology left Chu Yian completely stunned.
The vehicle drove into the house.
Lu Qingyuan got out and led her to the green area of the villa.
He turned on the faucet, and clear water flowed out.
He picked up the hose and handed it to Chu Yian, then turned around, “Spray me.”
His protective suit was stained with the blood of those infected people.
Chu Yian took the hose and thoroughly washed him clean, then handed the hose back to him and turned around herself.
Chu Yian hadn’t participated in the entire battle just now; the only place on her body that might have been contaminated with the patient’s blood was probably just the soles of her feet.
—After all, she had run especially fast at the time.
Lu Qingyuan glanced at her clean protective suit; although speechless, he still sprayed her down.
Just as he finished washing and was about to take off his protective suit, Chu Yian quickly stopped him, “Wait a moment!”
She ran back to retrieve the Fangtian Halberd, also washing off the bloodstains with water, dried the water from both of them and the weapon, and then took out disinfectant from her backpack.
Chu Yian sprayed both of them thoroughly with the smell of sodium hypochlorite, and only then did she feel it was alright, finally stepping into the villa.
“The first floor is the living room and guest rooms, the second floor is the study and office area, and the third floor is my bedroom.”
Lu Qingyuan briefly introduced the layout of the entire house, “You’ll sleep in a guest room.
There’s an intercom in the room; you can call me directly if anything happens.”
“Mhm, okay.”
Chu Yian nodded.
She looked around at this large house that required an intercom, not expecting Teacher Lu to be so wealthy.
By the time they settled down, it was already four in the morning.
Chu Yian, who had been on the move for almost a night, casually chose a guest room, showered, and then lay down on the soft, plush bed.
She took a deep breath and quickly fell asleep.
Sleeping truly felt incredibly good; no matter how big the problem, it could wait until she woke up.
Meanwhile, in the room on the third floor, the lights in the master bedroom remained bright.
No one knew what Lu Qingyuan was doing except for himself.
At noon on the eighteenth day of the game, Chu Yian groggily woke up.
After being frightened for so long, last night was the best sleep she had gotten.
But after sleeping enough, she was pretty hungry.
Chu Yian wandered around downstairs and found the kitchen.
She glanced upstairs; it wasn’t good to snoop around someone else’s house, so she decided to call Lu Qingyuan.
He quickly picked up the phone, “What is it?”
Chu Yian went straight to the point, “Teacher Lu, it’s already noon.
Can I go into your kitchen and look around?
And maybe make something for us to eat.”
