I was anticipating the pain to shoot up to my brain as a huge chunk of flesh in my forearm. To my surprise, it didn't feel painful at all.
Is it because I lost my sense of touch when I beca infected? Well, whatever, at least I don't have to experience additional suffering after witnessing sothing grueso happen to .
At first, I thought the high-leveled rabid human would hurl towards the wall after biting once. But to my surprise, it wasn't satisfied after biting my arm once.
Yes, that's right! It proceeded to bite a second ti.
I desperately tried to shake my arms off of the rabid human's grip. But it was useless! The rabid human had a grip of a gorilla. Simply put, I could only get out of my predicant if I cut off my arm.
Should I just cut it off?
As I contemplated whether I should just get rid of my precious arm or not, a window popped up in front of , showing so sort of status probably recorded by the System in real-ti. It resembled the windows that appear in front of those novel and animation protagonists when they receive the System. For once, my System was acting like one.
"Yongrui, you're HP is down by half! What do we do?!" The system exclaid in panic.
It was a first for to see that the System genuinely cared about and it gave so sort of extra motivation to punch the rabid human a second ti with my other hand.
The weird feeling I felt before, I felt it again on my fists as I drove my fist straight on the rabid human's face.
It went through!
Squelch!
I felt my fist went through its skull and its muddled brain. It wasn't the best of feelings but I know for sure that the rabid human wouldn't be standing up for quite a long ti, that is if my punch didn't kill it for the second ti.
I looked at my arm and saw the missing huge chunk of flesh that the rabid human ate. Because of this, the bones on my hands were shown and it wasn't the best of views.
For so reason though, I don't feel any pain at all. That's probably because the pain still hasn't kicked in due to the nerves being damaged on that part of my forearm. I didn't want to take my chances so I removed my shirt and wrapped up my wound before heading towards Yu Sying, Yu Yan, and Lin Xian.
"Oh, you're ba-" Lin Xian greeted but I cut her off.
"Now's not the ti, I need to tell you sothing," I said as I firmly held my forearm against my body using my other arm. I carefully approached them, hoping that I would sense if the virus already spread on my body. "I've been bitten and it won't be long before I turned into a rabid human."
Yu Sying and Yu Yan gasped as I carefully unwrapped the cloth from my forearm, revealing the huge bite on it.
"Wait, don't tell -" Lin Xian couldn't believe it as her eyes darted from my forearm then back to my face. "You fought that high-leveled zombie on your own? Are you insane?!"
"It was slowly approaching where we're staying so I really have no choice. Please take care of Yu Sying and Yu Yan for , Lin Xian. I need to head out before I turned into one of those rabid humans I truly despise. Gah! They sll so awful." I exclaid as I walked towards the entrance and opened the door.
"Yongrui! Wait!" Yu Sying muttered as she ran towards and hugged . It surprised at first but I returned the hug in return since I've never felt a hug in five years and... well, I don't really have good mories when it cos to hugging a person.
Specifically, a person with rabies and with a hole in her stomach. Natalia, stop appearing in my mind!
To my surprise, it wasn't just Yu Sying who ran towards and hugged before I headed out. Even Yu Yan carefully made her way towards and hugged silently. "Take care, you two. I hope you make it to the Tang Shelter as soon as you could." I muttered as I patted both of them on the head.
"Thank you for saving us multiple tis. We wouldn't have been alive if it weren't for you." Yu Sying bowed, showing her gratitude.
"You give too much recognition. I'll be heading out then." I responded as I slowly unlatched myself from them. After doing so, I called out to Lin Xian.
"Lin Xian, which direction should I take to get to your awful shelter? I think I might lay it to waste so other survivors won't fall prey into their hands again." I announced.
"It's ten to fifteen kiloters northwards. It's near the border of the city and it's heavily fortified so it's easy to notice. Thank you for saving us from the high-leveled zombie, Yongrui. I wouldn't wish to see you again soon but I wish you safe travels." Lin Xian sincerely said as she bowed down with all the gracefulness she could muster.
Honestly, she's beautiful. But well, I'm turning into a rabid human once again so I guess I won't have a chance to ask her out.
Oh wait, now's a perfect ti!
"Lin Xian, if ever I didn't turn into a zombie, would you mind, you know... going on a date with ? Just say yes so I could at least hope before I beco one." I told her.
And yes, although I did have a lot of female fawn over back in the days, I've never had a love interest, not even once. That's one of the things I regret from my past. I was too focused on cultivation that I didn't even try a lot of things in life. I guess when you've died once, you'd clearly see what things you missed out on in life.
And I can't believe I missed out on a lot and now I'm about to die for a second ti!
Well, back to Lin Xian.
For a few seconds, she looked at in surprise as her face blushed a little bit. I don't know if that was a good sign or not so I kept quiet and not pointed it out to her. Instead, I just patiently stood in front of the door, awaiting her response.
"Why are you asking her? I'd gladly date you if you'd asked ." Yu Sying earnestly smiled at .
Seriously, what's wrong with this girl! One mont she's screaming at and the next she's implying that I could date her?! And also, who was the person who got rid of your husband?
Sigh.
"Sure, I'll keep that in mind. If you didn't turn into a zombie I'd gladly beco your girlfriend." Lin Xian answered.
Um, sorry... what? Girlfriend? I was only asking for a da-
Oh well, if that's the case then there you have it. I won't complain even if it's just words spoken to console soone like .
Well, deep inside, I knew they just said that because there was zero percent chance that I won't turn into a rabid human. From the start, I asked that question in hopes that I'd get a 'yes' even before I died.
I guess I won't have regrets if I died now. After all, I received two yes's. Even though one of the yes ca from a woman whose husband I just got rid of, I don't mind either way.
Frankly speaking though, there's sothing wrong with Yu Sying, I'm not going to lie.
