Chapter 42 Saved?

"Run!"

With Xiang Xu's horrified cry, Gu Ning reacted almost as soon as her words hit the ground and pulled Xiang Xu up into the crook of her arm before she started running wildly.

The others had not reacted, but their subconscious mind was to follow Gu Ning, so once they saw Gu Ning running, the others immediately followed suit.

Zhang Xiaobai looked back as he ran.

But he saw a dozen people suddenly rush out from the corner in front of the road behind him, and then frantically ran in this direction, and Zhang Xiaobai saw that the one running at the front was none other than White Wolf! Immediately afterwards, an uncountable number of zombies burst out from behind those ten or so people, surging like a sea wave, about to drown those ten or so people.

"Run! The zombie swarm is coming !!!!" Zhang Xiaobai shouted then spread his legs and gritted his teeth and finally began to run wildly with desperation.

Although Gu Ning was carrying Xiang Xu, she was the fastest runner. Xiang Xu was also several dozen pounds, but for Gu Ning it wouldn't be much of a burden on her. Xiang Xu was pinned in Gu Ning's arms, tugging at Gu Ning's clothes with a deadly grip, and her face was white as she sensed those behind her still following them.

As he ran, Daoist Master Jia cursed, "Those sons of bitches! How come they can't get rid of them like dog skin plaster?!"

The white wolf Pei Jing and his group, who were a hundred metres away from them, were actually chasing them, following them wherever Gu Ning turned.

Gu Ning knew this was not an option, even if she had enough stamina to run all the way back to the gathering place, but the others could not hold on for long, after running less than a thousand meters, Jia Daochang was already pale, this was not a walk at a trot, but a flight for his life, Cheng Ming Xie Yuhong Huang Mengyao was also gritting his teeth to hold on, several soldiers on the contrary, usually cross-country training, weight running are practiced, at this time can still hold on. But after a long time, when the time comes, exhaustion, and then to face the zombie will only be able to lie on the ground and let it bite.

At this time, Gu Ning inevitably thought that if she was alone now, she could just find a place to hide and go into the space, and then come out when the zombies had dispersed, so that she could survive this crisis safely. However, she could not leave these people alone and run for her life, even though she wanted to, but she could not do it.

Gu Ning could only think of ways to escape as she ran.

Just then, Gu Ning suddenly heard a sound, and then, she saw several ropes falling from the sky.

"Quickly grab the ropes!"

It was a building and the voice came from the first floor, the ropes were hanging from the first floor windowsill and there were several young men and women standing by the window, shouting at them. It was obvious that those ropes had been thrown down by them.

Gu Ning rushed closer and hesitated for only a moment before handing Xiang Xu up and ordering, "Climb up!"

Xiang Xu hurriedly grabbed the thick nylon rope and started to climb up on his hands and knees. The rope had a lot of knots tied on it, which facilitated the climbing of people, plus now in a life-or-death situation, Xiang Xu's thin arms and legs actually climbed very fast.

Gu Ning took a look at the white wolves and their group two hundred metres away, as well as the group of zombies following them, and without hesitation, he grabbed the rope next to him and climbed up quickly.

They were obviously trained in this area and climbed fast, even faster than Xiang Xu who climbed first. They climbed into the ledge in ten seconds or so and then reached out to pick up Xiang Xu and Gu Ning.

Gu Ning tumbled in through the ledge, followed by Xiang Yi, then Cheng Ming, Xie Yuhong, and even Huang Mengyao climbed up through clenched teeth. He had run for his life for nearly 2,000 metres, and his age, coupled with his lack of exercise, had long exceeded the load on his body. He thought that all those books written to stimulate the great potential temporarily are lies, he now only feels weak in his hands and feet, his heart is about to explode, nervous to asthma, but did not force out the potential.

When Cheng Ming saw that Daoist Master Jia was stopping there and not moving, he shouted in anxiety, "Daoist Master! Hurry up! The zombie swarm is coming!"

Xiang Yi also shouted to the bottom, "Come up here, Godfather! It's useless even if you stop there and chant Amitabha!"

But no matter how much they shouted, Daoist Master Jia just didn't move at all.

If I could climb, wouldn't I climb? He thought with sadness and anger in his heart, saying that Amitabha Buddha was for vultures to recite! But now his chest hurt so much that he couldn't say a word, so he had no time to fight with him. He could only hold on to the rope for dear life, lest he fall.

The white wolves and others who were still a hundred metres away did not know if they had seen the hope of life and burst out of their potential, rushing over in the blink of an eye, grabbing the other ropes and climbing up. If it wasn't for the fact that Daoist Jia didn't want to leave an impression of being afraid of death in front of Gu Ning and the others, he would have been in tears by now.

As he listened to the urging from above, he thought sadly, "Is he going to die here today? If he had known that he was going to be divided into corpses, he might as well have taken some medicine and gone peacefully during the end of the world. At least he would have been able to leave a whole body.

Should I explain to them that they should give themselves a few shots when they fall down, so that they don't suffer too much from being bitten alive. On his side, Daoist Master Jia was thinking about it, when suddenly a calm voice came from overhead, "Hold on to the rope."

Daoist Master Jia thought to himself, "I've got a tight enough grip, but subconsciously he lifted the last bit of his raw strength to grab the rope.

Then, he felt that he was rising...

Daoist Master Jia couldn't help but open his eyes and look upwards, only to see Gu Ning tugging the rope upwards with both hands!

There was a burst of wild joy in his heart!

The joy didn't last two seconds! Then his whole body plunged downwards!

There was a shout from above his head!

He was so startled that the rope in his hand nearly fell out of his hand. Next to him, some zombies reached out to grab his feet.

He looked up and saw that Gu Ning was holding the rope tightly and was being pulled downwards by a strong force, almost pulling his whole body out! Half of her body was torn off the ledge. Xiang Yi Cheng Ming hurriedly came over to hold Gu Ning's waist, so that Gu Ning would not be pulled out.

Gu Ning was tugging on this end and the zombie was tugging on the other end, both of them refused to let go of the rope. He didn't dare to shout in order to save his strength. Gu Ning suddenly shouted at Daoist Master Jia, "Use all your strength to grab the rope!"

Fortunately, there was a knot on the rope, so his hand could not fall off as he was gripping the knot, but just as he had a firm grip, he felt himself plummeting downwards! He was so frightened that he let out a cry and when he looked up, it was Gu Ning who had let go of the rope. With this, he fell back down to where he had been climbing, only a few dozen centimetres from those zombie hands! If he had fallen any further, he would have been caught by the zombies' legs! He felt a pent-up urge to pee, and almost didn't manage to pee his trousers, which would have ruined his reputation.

Gu Ning turned around and sat on his butt on the windowsill, then said to the two stoutest soldiers, "Shi Lei! Cai Yong! Hold my calves!"

Shi Lei Cai Yong did not know what Gu Ning intended to do, but they both very obediently came forward and hugged Gu Ning's calves.

"Hold on tight! Don't ever let go!" After Gu Ning once again solemnly instructed, he took a deep breath before his entire body tumbled backwards out towards the windowsill! In one fell swoop, all of his body except his lower legs flipped outside the window sill, hanging upside down against the wall.

The others were so shocked by Gu Ning's dangerous move that they couldn't speak, and hurriedly leaned over to the windowsill to look.

Cheng Ming, however, helped Shi Lei and Cai Yong to hold Gu Ning's legs, fearing that they would not hold her tight enough and she would fall, her face turning white.

After Gu Ning hung out upside down, he stretched his hands down and shouted at Jia Daoist, "Quick! Grab me!"

Jia Daochang was looking nervously at the zombies below fearing that they would jump up and grab his legs, when he heard the shout, he looked up sharply and saw Gu Ning hanging upside down on the window sill with his hands outstretched towards him, he was so shocked that he didn't know what to do. He felt the strength of Gu Ning's hand, and then he settled down a little before he tried to give his other hand to Gu Ning.

As the two hands grasped together smoothly, Jia Daochang's heart burst with joy as Gu Ning's waist and belly exerted force and actually pulled Jia Daochang up by his bootstraps!

However, perhaps because he saw the hope of life, in his ecstasy, he forgot that there were dozens of zombies reaching for his legs underneath him. When his foot hit a hard object, Jia Daoist even froze for a moment, subconsciously glanced down, then saw that the hard object under his foot was the top of a zombie's head! He shrieked in shock and then quickly retracted his foot, however he couldn't move this leg halfway, it was firmly gripped by a pair of hands on his calf!

Gu Ning's body, which had already started to break away from the wall, was suddenly yanked by a force coming from his hands! Caught off guard, her back slammed back into the wall, and the moment her arched spine hit the hard wall, a muffled grunt of pain escaped Gu Ning's lips.

The muffled grunt carried clearly to the window sill.

It couldn't help but make people's hearts choke.

Cheng Ming's heart even trembled.

"Gu Ning, are you alright?" Zhang Xiaobai asked eagerly. The others all had worried faces.

Although Gu Ning's spine was in severe pain, the force of her hand gripping Daoist Master Jia did not loosen a bit, nor did she respond to Zhang Xiaobai's eager questioning.

Jia Daochang couldn't help but tremble, not out of fear, but some other kind of emotion.

He looked up at Gu Ning, his voice trembling with guilt, emotion and pleading, "Gu Ning, let go."

Gu Ning did not answer him, nor did she have any intention of letting go of her hand. If she had let go at this point, then she would not have hung upside down just now.

Since she had already grabbed Jia Daochang's hand, she would never let go, unless those zombies pulled Jia Daochang out of her hands.

The zombies hissed with excitement and hunger, as long as they yanked Jia Daochang off, they would be able to eat fresh flesh and blood, the warm blood would nourish their parched throats, the fresh flesh would strengthen their bodies -

No one spoke on the ledge, people looked at the hissing zombies below and only felt a chill rise in their hearts, Shi Lei and Cai Yong pursed their lips and hugged Gu Ning's calves tighter.

Gu Ning's sweat trickled down her forehead, dampening her golden hair, her body swaying as Jia Daoist was pulled from side to side, her back rubbing against the wall incessantly with a burning sensation. Her hands, however, remained firmly clasped to Jadao's wrists, as if embedded in them.

Suddenly, the sound of the gun being pulled by the handle rang out.

Immediately afterwards, there was a gunshot -

A bullet hole appeared in the head of the zombie with one hand tugging at Jia Daochang, and then it just fell down silently, quickly being swamped by the zombies crowding up behind it.

Gu Ning looked towards the windowsill in surprise, the white wolf was poking out, the one who had fired was him.

Sensing Gu Ning's gaze, a malicious smile crossed White Wolf's eyes before his gun shifted slightly and was actually aimed at Gu Ning. Gu Ning's heart tightened, and then she saw the malicious smile that crossed White Wolf's slanted flying eyes, and she put her heart down slightly, but she wasn't annoyed either, she just looked at him quietly.

Seemingly a little bored by Gu Ning's watchful gaze, White Wolf skimmed his lips and shifted his gun.

This was followed by several gunshots.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Those zombies that had grabbed Jia Daochang's calves fell one by one, Jia Daochang couldn't think of anything else and tried his best to kick off the zombie that had grabbed his ankle despite his dead hand, then rolled his leg up quickly, those zombies that were crowding behind him could only angrily stretch out their hands in mid-air and grab in vain.

The moment Gu Ning saw the force there loosened, she let out a low cry, her waist and abdomen once again exerted force, then her whole body sat up as if she were sitting up, only she was still dragging a hundred-odd pound person in her hands.

Jia Daochang tumbled off the ledge and fell to the ground like a landed fish, panting heavily.

Gu Ning was also helped by Zhang Xiaobai and Zhang Yang to sit against the wall on the ground, but he did not feel the danger just now.

Then she couldn't help but glance at the white wolf, nodding slightly to him who was holding a gun, thanking him for the shots he had just fired, otherwise she would still be hanging outside.

He was surrounded by Yin Sang and the man in the white shirt, Pei Jing and Yan Yu, the female with psychic abilities were also there, in total there were only twelve or thirteen left, Gu Ning didn't need to ask to know that the others had been swamped by the zombies.

A few of the soldiers were a bit ashamed, they were really in shock just now, and under the panic they didn't think of how to help. At this moment, they had a few mixed emotions towards the white wolf.

Jia Daochang, who was lying on the ground, suddenly jumped up from the ground and stomped down towards the stairs.

He startled people.

It was only after a while that he came up slowly, holding onto the railing, and said with a shameful face, "I want to pee.

After Gu Ning had rested, he also stood up.

Listening to the constant banging on the door from the zombies below he frowned slightly.

"Don't worry, we've blocked the door below, they definitely won't be able to break in. They'll go away when we get up there and they can't smell it." One of the girls who had thrown down the ropes smiled and said, smiling with two shallow dimples that made people feel close when they looked at her.

"Well, you're safe for now, go on up." One of the men said, not moving to glance at the guns they were holding. The other three all smiled and looked at them, all looking very welcoming to them.

Gu Ning and White Wolf glanced at each other, then followed the five men upstairs.

"Thank you all so much for earlier." The soldier said to the man in the lead.

"There's no need to be polite. It's the end of the world, so of course humans and humans should help each other out." The man said.

"We haven't had any living people here for a long time." The girl with the dimples said, naturally taking Gu Ning's arm and saying, "You were great just now!"

Gu Ning smelled a sour smell, I think it was because these people had stayed here for too long and had not been cleaned, that's why there was this smell.

In between, he walked and rested.

It took more than ten minutes before they reached the place where they lived.

The seventh floor of the top floor.

To their surprise, they actually had quite a few companions.

At a cursory glance, there were fifty to sixty men, women and children in this large house.

The floor was littered with things to keep them warm, and in some places there were even only a few thin quilts.

They were standing or sitting or lying down, a pair of eyes staring at the twenty or so people on Gu Ning's side, their eyes unsure whether it was the alarm of seeing a stranger or what, but no one spoke, inexplicably giving people a slight chill.

Gu Ning swept around the room, looking at those people, I don't know why I always felt that something was wrong, but exactly what was wrong she couldn't say, in short, there was something strange in her heart, and an inexplicable chill ...
