Chapter 187 The Virgin Mary of Doom 2
Chapter 187 The Virgin Mary of Doom 2
This house was their team's temporary base, and naturally there were no zombies around. It was a relatively safe area, and at least in the short term, they didn't have to worry about being attacked by zombies.
Lin Ruan didn't know how long she had been walking. Finally, she came across a group of zombies chasing a person on a deserted street.
Gu Yu was running frantically, his heart pounding like thunder, his breathing rapid. He was filled with despair and sorrow, knowing he had no special abilities and no way to fight the ferocious zombies behind him. He could only run and run, hoping to find a safe place to hide.
However, the zombies did not tire, they kept chasing Gu Yu, getting closer and closer. Gu Yu's legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead, and every step became extremely difficult.
Just when he felt he was about to run any further, he suddenly noticed a figure in front of him slowly walking towards him. The figure was tall and straight, with steady steps, and was obviously a human.
"Run, there are zombies behind us!" Before he finished speaking, Gu Yu had already passed by the figure.
The shout he gave with all his might was the only kindness he had left as a human being.
Lin Ruan calmly looked at the zombies that had noticed her presence. They had abandoned the man and quickly ran to her. Just as they were about to attack, Lin Ruan looked directly at them and said calmly and compassionately, "Lost lamb, can you please not attack me?"
"thump!"
Gu Yu was tripped up by Lin Ruan's words. He lay on the ground and looked back in disbelief, looking at the woman's back. He could see a bit of madness in that beautiful and upright back.
But the outcome he expected did not happen. The group of zombies actually stopped all movements and stood there in a daze.
"Poor children, your souls are trapped in your broken bodies. You must be very sad." The female voice said, "I am willing to bring you freedom. All I ask is that you give me a small gift. Is that okay?"
The zombies seemed to have lost consciousness and showed no reaction to the woman's questioning. However, Gu Yu saw the scene clearly. He saw the left eyes of all the zombies suddenly explode, and the crystal cores seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, slowly moving along the thorn-like ice body, and finally converging beside the woman.
At first, the thorns appeared a murky white, as if tainted by some unclean substance. But as the crystal core approached, they gradually took on a foul red, as if the zombies had painstakingly fought their way through the thorn bush, sacrificing their own crystal cores, even with their own brains and blood.
The woman turned her head expressionlessly, glancing at the pile of crystal cores stained with red and white. Her eyes were calm and indifferent, as if she had long been accustomed to all this. Then, she sighed softly and whispered, "May the Lord cleanse all filth."
Before he finished speaking, rain suddenly began to fall. Raindrops fell in a flurry, colliding with the crystal cores with a crisp sound. The once stained crystal cores, washed by the rain, gradually regained their original color.
Then the woman waved her hand, and all the crystal cores disappeared, leaving only the poor zombies that were fixed by the thorn bushes and refused to fall to the ground.
"Thank you so much for your generosity, children. May God bless you."
The woman lifted her skirt and bowed gracefully. The moment she lowered her head, the thorns shattered, and the zombies fell to the ground, leaving only a pool of blood mixed with rainwater.
Gu Yu: . . . .
False bad news: I met a real crazy woman.
The real bad news: I met the living devil.
Lin Ruan slowly walked towards the man lying on the ground, each step seeming heavy. The man on the ground seemed to be filled with fear of Lin Ruan. He was shaking and moving backwards, trying to keep a certain distance from Lin Ruan.
Lin Ruan stopped and stared at the man, a wave of confusion welling up in her heart. She had just saved his life, so why was he so afraid of her? Didn't he know how to be grateful? The more Lin Ruan thought about it, the angrier she became. She felt that this man was really ungrateful.
People like this deserve to die!
"Please spare my life!" Gu Yu's heart tightened when he saw Lin Ruan raise her hand, and an inexplicable fear surged in his heart. His intuition told him that this woman might harm him. Although he didn't know why he had such a feeling, he still shouted for mercy without hesitation.
Lin Ruan couldn't help but frown when she heard Gu Yu's plea for mercy. She was not satisfied with the title of "hero", as she felt that the word was inappropriate for her.
"Sister, goddess, Virgin Mary..." Gu Yu's chaotic brain full of desire for survival controlled him, and all kinds of names came out of his mouth.
"Maria?" The woman chuckled, her laughter like a spring breeze, soft and gentle. Her eyebrows curved like crescent moons, and the corners of her mouth turned up, revealing a faint smile.
After the rain, the sky cleared up, and the sun shone through the clouds onto her, as if she were covered with a layer of golden gauze. Her hair was blown by the breeze, gently fluttering, like a dancing fairy.
Gu Yu stared at her in a daze, feeling a chill rising from the soles of his feet, running up his spine, and finally reaching the top of his head like an electric current. His body couldn't help but tremble slightly, frightened by this sudden feeling.
"I really like this name. How did you come up with it?" she asked.
"I...I..." Gu Yu stuttered.
Quickly use your brain!
Speak up, you idiot!
Gu Yu suddenly had an idea and stammered, "You... You are as kind and powerful as the Virgin Mary. You just saved me, so I call you that."
Lin Ruan nodded with satisfaction, "I accept your following."
Gu Yu: . . . .
He didn't want to follow, he didn't dare say it.
"But," Lin Ruan frowned, with a hint of pity: "Poor child, you've suffered a lot. You look covered in dust. Wash it off quickly."
After saying that, he moved his finger, and a huge blue water ball floated above Gu Yu's head, and a trickle of water poured over his whole body from the top of his head.
Gu Yu: ...Washing here? On an empty street? In front of a member of the opposite sex? In broad daylight?
But he didn't dare refuse.
Because the living devil was already sitting on an ice chair, staring at him with interest.
Gu Yu took off his coat tremblingly, then closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and took off his pants and underwear in one breath.
"Open your eyes." said the Living King of Hell.
Dignity or survival?
Some people died standing up.
Gu Yu wanted to live even if he had to kneel down.
He opened his eyes and saw icy thorns winding in front of him. Inside was a small bottle of shampoo, a small bottle of shower gel, a bottle of facial cleanser and a set of toothpaste and toothbrush.
In addition to these, there are two razors.
Two razors.
"Thank you, Lady Maria."
Gu Yu thanked him tremblingly, not knowing whether it was because the water was too cold or because he was too embarrassed.
"No need to thank me. I like clean and good children." Lin Ruan deliberately emphasized the word clean.
