Chapter 18: The Despair Brought by the Licker!
At this moment.
Fang Ye was genuinely baffled by his class monitor.
Of course.
He could tell that Su Ziqiu meant well.
But it was a kindness he simply couldn’t accept.
He had his own mission and plan, and there was no way he could follow this beauty around.
“Class monitor, where did you get that compound bow? It seems pretty powerful!” Fang Ye deflected the topic.
Su Ziqiu frowned slightly but answered, “There’s a shooting club nearby. I found it there.”
“Oh? Were there any knives?”
“There are a few.”
Fang Ye immediately said, “Could you take me to them? I need a blade.”
For dealing with zombies.
Having a knife was much better than bare hands.
At the very least, it wouldn’t dirty his hands.
And with Fang Ye’s current attributes, using a blade was quite fitting.
“You want to use a knife?”
Su Ziqiu frowned deeper and advised, “Using a knife means close combat with zombies, which could lead to injuries. If you get surrounded, it’ll be very dangerous… ranged attacks are safer.”
“I know what you’re saying makes sense,” Fang Ye replied, spreading his hands. “But I can’t use a bow! You don’t expect me to use a gun, right? Because I’m pretty sure firing a gun would attract every mutant creature around us.”
Su Ziqiu thought for a moment and then said, “You’re right. Fine, I’ll take you there.”
Under Su Ziqiu’s guidance, the two arrived at the nearby shooting club.
The store was, of course, deserted, with many rooms in disarray, and dried bloodstains on the floor…
It seemed there had been significant chaos here when the virus outbreak occurred.
“Here.”
Su Ziqiu pointed to a wall.
On the wall hung several long blades, likely part of a collection by the previous owner.
Fang Ye didn’t know much about these weapons, but he picked out a long sword that felt right in his hand and also grabbed a short knife as a backup.
After making his selection, Fang Ye said, “Thanks a lot, class monitor. I guess we’ll meet again sometime.”
Su Ziqiu froze for a moment. “What do you mean? Are you going to act alone?”
Seeing Fang Ye nod.
Su Ziqiu immediately frowned again.
“Fang Ye, don’t overestimate yourself. If you stay with me, we might not get the highest mission rating, but at least it’ll be safer! We’re classmates, I won’t put you in danger!”
This girl truly had a kind heart!
Unfortunately.
The mission Fang Ye chose wasn’t the simple task of killing zombies.
He had selected the most difficult mission: saving the world.
He had no choice but to decline Su Ziqiu’s good intentions.
Just as Fang Ye was about to speak…
Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the store.
And then, a red monster crawled through the wall into the shop.
This creature was all muscle, with no skin, looking blood-soaked, and it had vicious claws and sharp fangs—truly terrifying.
It was a Licker!!
Seeing the Licker appear, Su Ziqiu’s face turned pale, and her beautiful eyes filled with terror and despair.
After a month of lessons.
Su Ziqiu undoubtedly recognized the Licker.
According to Professor Zhou, Lickers were among the most dangerous creatures in Restricted Zone No. 2!
They could easily massacre a squad of elite human soldiers.
Normal people didn’t stand a chance!
And when encountering a Licker, Professor Zhou’s advice was simple: run for your life and hope for the best!
At this moment.
The Licker had already noticed the two of them, slowly crawling along the wall toward them.
Su Ziqiu was paralyzed with fear.
Though her archery skills were excellent, she knew that against a predator like the Licker, she’d be dead before she even had a chance to shoot.
“Stay sharp!”
Suddenly.
Fang Ye’s low, calm voice reached Su Ziqiu’s ears: “When I tell you to run, don’t look back—just run!!”
Su Ziqiu was stunned, looking at Fang Ye with wide, surprised eyes. “Fang Ye, you…”
“Don’t interrupt. Just remember what I said!”
Fang Ye repeated his instructions, keeping his eyes fixed on the Licker.
He was curious to see how long it would take him to kill this Licker with his current strength.
Since gaining Saitama’s physique, Fang Ye had been getting stronger and stronger, but he hadn’t yet had a real combat experience.
Now was the perfect opportunity to test the results of his training.
As for the Licker, Fang Ye didn’t feel even the slightest fear.
If he couldn’t handle a single Licker, he wouldn’t have been arrogant enough to take on the most challenging mission.
The reason he told Su Ziqiu to run.
Was that Fang Ye didn’t want to reveal his strength in front of her.
And this way, he could use the opportunity to slip away from this kind-hearted class monitor without needing to explain further…
It was a win-win!
That was Fang Ye’s plan.
However.
Su Ziqiu had a different interpretation.
A woman’s mind tends to be more sensitive and prone to overthinking…
When she heard Fang Ye’s words.
She instinctively assumed that Fang Ye was going to sacrifice himself to buy her time to escape!!
