Post-Apocalyptic: Unlimited Resources, Neighbor's Wife and Sister Beg for the Door to Open

Chapter 16 You killed my mother, you can't kill me now! (Please continue reading)
Gu Miantang glanced ahead, then gritted her teeth, turned around, and ran back.

Gu Lingyue did not sit idly by and wait for her fate.

She held the axe in both hands, adopting a defensive stance, and when the sickle worm extended its forelegs, she suddenly swung the axe.

It struck hard; the axe even penetrated deep into its outer shell.

However, she was thrown away by the immense force of the sickle worm and crashed hard into a flower bed.

Despite the pain, she quickly got up and ran away.

We followed the same route we came by.

Running around aimlessly in the black fog will only make you more vulnerable.

Returning along the route still offers a glimmer of hope.

The sickle-like insect that was slashed seemed quite angry, letting out a hiss before rushing towards Gu Lingyue.

Perhaps it was the life-or-death crisis that triggered Gu Lingyue's potential, as she managed to dodge the deadly damage from the sickle worms time and time again. However, her once fair and clean body was now covered with dozens of scars.

On the other side, after receiving a warning from Gu Lingyue, Gu Miantang ran as fast as she had come from.

Despite her best efforts to hold back, tears still streamed down her face.

If it weren't for her being a burden, perhaps Sister Yue wouldn't have encountered danger.

The distance between Building 5 and Building 2 wasn't far, and Gu Miantang ran over in just over a minute.

She saw Shao Wenxuan dragging a corpse, and Lu Zheng not far away.

She was immediately terrified.

Two men were dragging a corpse, one of them holding a gun!
Wait, a gun!?
A glimmer of hope flashed in Gu Miantang's eyes as she rushed to Lu Zheng and said anxiously:

"Quick, save Sister Yue! She's being chased by a monster!"

Lu Zheng was just thinking about where to lure the monsters over when, unexpectedly, one came to him.

But instead of rushing forward impulsively, he first asked:
"What kind of monster? Is it a sickle beetle or a two-tailed scorpion?"

If it were a more powerful twin-tailed scorpion, Lu Zheng was unsure whether the gun he had could inflict a fatal wound, and he would certainly not take the initiative to attack.

Gu Miantang had also watched several videos about monsters and immediately replied:
"They are sickle worms, there seem to be two of them."

With that, she gritted her teeth and added another chip.

"If you can save Sister Yue, I will become your woman!"

[Ding! Survivor detected, in progress]

Name: Gu Miantang

Age: 21

[Identity: Third-year student in the Department of Biology at Canglan University, National Level 2 Archery Athlete]

[Evaluation: Diligent in studies, physically fit, and intelligent; beautiful, with a graceful figure; empathetic, possesses a basic sense of right and wrong, and is sincere and genuine in her emotions; morally upright.]

[Conclusion: Meeting the three requirements of 'virtuous,' 'beautiful appearance,' and 'intelligent mind,' successful protection will earn you a high-level resource card.]

Now, Gu Miantang sadly realizes that the only thing she can offer is her beauty.

In the past, she thought this was her most ordinary advantage.

But now it's their only bargaining chip.

Lu Zheng's attention was not on her, even though it was another high-level resource card.

But at this moment, he was more concerned with killing the insects, obtaining the crystal core, and mastering the superpower!

Upon learning that there were two insects, Lu Zheng immediately said to Shao Wenxuan:

"Come with me! Quickly!"

Shao Wenxuan was being held at gunpoint by Lu Zheng. Although he was terrified of the monster, he dared not resist and simply obeyed orders to move forward.

After walking more than thirty meters, the monster's figure became visible, and Gu Lingyue fled for her life in a panic.

At that moment, Lu Zheng fired without hesitation. "Ah!"

Shao Wenxuan let out a scream, then rolled to the ground clutching his bleeding left leg.

His voice and the strong smell of blood immediately attracted the two sickle worms.

They quickly changed their target and pounced on Shao Wenxuan.

At this moment, Shao Wenxuan naturally understood that Lu Zheng had sent him over as bait, and immediately began to curse.

"Lu Zheng! You'll die a horrible death!"

"How could you be so vicious! You promised me that if you killed my mother, you wouldn't kill me!"

Lu Zheng remained expressionless, simply aiming in the direction he was in.

When the sickle worm bit into Shao Wenxuan's body, he fired without hesitation.

At a distance of less than twenty meters, the power of the python revolver could penetrate a three-millimeter-thick steel plate. This sickle worm, which couldn't even withstand an axe, was naturally hit by the shot, and green liquid spurted out from its body.

However, the point of impact was slightly different from where Lu Zheng was aiming. After all, he had only handled a gun a few times, and even at such close range, it was impossible for him to hit exactly where he was aiming.

It's alright, he just emptied the magazine.

There were six bullets in total, and Shao Wenxuan and his mother each used one.

The remaining four shots were all fired in one go.

Lu Zheng immediately took out a new one, aimed at the second one, and continued firing!
The gunshot alerted the second sickle bug, but it didn't recognize the gun, so it charged straight at Lu Zheng.

Its forelegs, sharp as blades, seemed poised to cleave Lu Zheng into several pieces.

A hissing sound emanated from its mouthparts, seemingly carrying a sense of provocation and warning.

Lu Zheng retreated while firing, unaffected by the attack. He gripped the gun with both hands, maintaining accuracy, and the magazine in his revolver was emptied again in the blink of an eye.

The heads of the two insects had been smashed, but they were not quite dead yet and were still struggling to stand up.

Lu Zheng took out a third gun and emptied the magazine again!

Finally, with the fourth gun in hand, he shot Shao Wenxuan in the head, his scream likely attracting more monsters.

Then he pointed the gun at Gu Miantang and threw her a pair of plastic gloves for washing dishes.

"Go inside the monster's head and find me the crystal core, hurry up!"

"Professor Gu won't last much longer. If you still want me to save her, you'd better hurry."

Unsure if the monster was truly dead, Lu Zheng dared not approach it himself and had originally planned to ask Shao Wenxuan for help.

Unfortunately, his mother's corpse did not attract any insects.

Upon hearing this, Gu Miantang glanced at Lu Zheng's gun barrel and then at Gu Lingyue. Although she was very dissatisfied with Lu Zheng's oppression, she had no other choice at this moment.

She gritted her teeth, put on her gloves, and went to feel around the first insect.

A dozen seconds later, she took out a grayish-white crystal.

"This is it."

"Give me the item, then you can go and touch the next one."

Lu Zheng happily took the crystal core from Gu Miantang's hand, and then let her continue to explore the corpse of another insect.

As expected, the two crystal cores were obtained.

He and Gu Miantang helped Gu Lingyue upstairs, one on each side, and they arrived at Lu Zheng's door.

Bai Zhihui and the other two women, who had been waiting inside for a long time, immediately opened the door when they saw that it was Lu Zheng.

"Go and get the first-aid kit."

Zheng Jingyi quickly grabbed the first-aid kit, while the other two women helped lift Gu Lingyue, who had already completely lost consciousness.

Gu Lingyue's blood-stained clothes were taken off, and Lu Zheng glanced at them. The most serious wound was on her abdomen.

He directed the girls, saying:
"Keep her lying flat with her legs slightly bent and her head turned to one side to prevent her from choking on vomit. Disinfect the wound and clean it. Bring the gauze over. Gu Miantang, you hold her down to stop the bleeding."
