Chapter 1276: Yes Darling (33)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
It didn’t matter who planned the matter in the end, because…
The violence in both districts had not stopped.
People from the East District killed people in the West District one after another, causing riots, so the West District’s people wouldn’t just sit and wait.
When others did nothing, they did it themselves.
It didn’t seem to matter how it turned into a battle between the two districts.
Because that was the course of history.
It was unchangeable.
Lu Ning returned to Du Ji, which was, as usual, in no panic at all.
Eyes slightly red, she clenched her hands tightly, standing in front of Ming Shu, voice choked. “Miss Jiang Xue… Was I imagining it wrong?”
She considered herself always right.
But in the end she was wrong.
Originally, it would have taken years to reset. But now, it was so far in advance because of her.
Ming Shu was turning a page in a book and raised her head slightly when she heard this. “You’re not wrong. You did the right thing.”
“But…” She was wrong.
Ming Shu put down the book and was about to say something when suddenly a violent explosion came from outside.
Huala—
The glass of the window shattered, and Ming Shu saw the people on the street outside.
Lu Ning’s expression changed dramatically. “They came for me, I’ll go…”
Ming Shu’s eyes fell somewhere. “No, they came for me.”
“What… what?”
When Ming Shu got up and went outside, the whole building began to shake. The glass cracked and the crowd roared.
All of Du Ji was in great confusion.
Rumble!
“Ahhhhh—!”
“Darling!”
Ye Ji stood downstairs, but Ming Shu jumped directly from upstairs.
A shell with lethal force shot in from the outside. Ming Shu threw herself on Ye Ji and the two fell to the ground together.
The shell went straight inside and exploded with a crash. The impact rippled the air, and the two were pushed out of the way and hit the wall before stopping.
“Luo Yan, that dead psychopath!”
Ming Shu cursed in a low voice, then turned to look at Ye Ji. “Are you all right?”
Ye Ji shook his head. “Darling, you…”
Whizzing!
Bullets were everywhere, interrupting Ye Ji. Ming Shu pulled Ye Ji into a corner. The whole hall, which had been noisy just a moment ago, suddenly became empty.
They didn’t know if everyone was dead or merely hiding.
Du Ji was safe, but Ming Shu did not expect that the pervert Luo Yan would suddenly bring people and fight.
She guessed vaguely what he wanted to do, but she did not want to let Ye Ji take the risk.
Perhaps the recent riots had been encouraged by Luo Yan, or else he wouldn’t have been able to fight here with his men!
What a psychopath!
The fire was so intense that the whole building seemed to be in danger.
Ming Shu took a look outside, intending to rush out with Ye Ji. Those things couldn’t hurt her anyway.
She held Ye Ji’s hand tightly. “Stay close to me.”
Ye Ji nodded.
Seeking an ideal moment, Ming Shu pulled Ye Ji to rush outside. But Ming Shu did not directly go against the shells; she tried to avoid them.
Just at this moment, Ye Ji’s heart suddenly tightened. He unconsciously squeezed Ming Shu’s hand and pulled her aside.
A shell glanced past them. Behind them, Du Ji couldn’t bear the damage and collapsed completely.
Before Ye Ji could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw countless bullets shooting toward Ming Shu.
They seemed to be targeting only her.
Ming Shu blocked the bullets with Little Beastie and dragged him to run away from the other side.
Little Beastie blocked a wave of bullets, then fell to the ground, rolling toward Ming Shu obediently.
At this time, there was hardly any place for Ming Shu and Ye Ji to hide. There were bullets all around them, and they just kept firing regardless of anything.
Ming Shu glanced over the place where Luo Yan stood before. There was no one there.
She looked around quickly. The shots kept coming.
She saw a little dot on the other side.
Boom—
Almost at the same time, the silver bullet broke through the barriers and flew toward Ye Ji.
Swoosh—
The silver bullet pierced through Ming Shu’s chest.
Ye Ji’s eyes widened. The bullet was aimed at him, why… she was shot?
“Darling!” Ye Ji caught Ming Shu. His expression was very gloomy, and his eyes seemed to be swallowed by a dark light.
The shooting all around stopped suddenly.
Ye Ji knelt down partially, and his hands holding Ming Shu trembled slightly.
The bullet didn’t go in the flesh fully. It was a very strange bullet. Ming Shu reached out, grasped it and pulled it out directly.
There was a tiny object at the top of the bullet. She felt a burning sensation with the thing hanging before her chest. It was what Luo Yan had taken away before.
The boy pressed on her wound in a panic.
“Don’t worry. I’ll stop the bleeding for you at once. Don’t be afraid…” The boy was getting more and more anxious. “Why can’t I stop the bleeding? You used to be fine, didn’t you? Why can’t it stop now?”
“The Apocalypse…” Ming Shu moved her lips.
The boy looked at the bullet in Ming Shu’s hand. He took the thing off the bullet in a hurry, pulled out what Ming Shu was wearing, and combined them with shaking hands.
Blood stained the gold coins.
The light was eerily red.
Two gold coins fit together and turned into one after a faint noise. All of a sudden, the pattern was not messy but showed a full picture.
It was a tower.
Ming Shu seemed to sense something, but seemed not to…
Ming Shu looked to her side.
Luo Yan walked slowly forward and called:
“Qi Yu.”
The boy suddenly raised his head, and the light in his eyes was ice-cold and piercing, extremely dangerous. “Luo Yan!”
Luo Yan offered a cute smile. “It’s no use looking at me like this. If we don’t get out of here, we’re all going to die.”
He made the right bet.
She carried the Apocalypse with her, and using the induction of the cores, it would be enough to shoot her.
And she was Qi Yu’s most important thing.
Qi Yu and Luo Yan looked at each other in silence. There seemed to be a fierce current flowing in the air.
Ming Shu felt that the vitality of her body was slipping away, very quickly.
She took out her lifespan card. The remaining ten years of life had been reduced to three, and the days left were also reducing fast.
Holy shit!
“How do you feel?” Qi Yu lowered his head and his expression softened instantly. “I…”
All the memories kept coming back.
Those he knew and didn’t know, they were all now crowded into his mind.
“I’m running out of time.” Ming Shu’s face became pale.
“It’s okay. I can take you back,” Qi Yu said as he held her up. “You’ll be fine.”
His voice was calm, implacable, and unquestionably forceful.
“Qi Yu…”
“Miss Jiang Xue…” Lu Ning came out from nowhere in a mess, her tears washing the dust off her face.
Qi Yu glanced at her. Lu Ning suddenly froze, standing two steps away from Ming Shu.
Before, she just thought the way this Mr. Ye looked at people was not very friendly, but now…
She felt as if she’d offended the domain of an evil beast, whose gaze could tear her apart at any moment.
“Why are you crying? It feels like I’ve already been dead.” Though her life was shrinking, she was not dead yet, right?
“Miss Jiang Xue… You…”
“You were not wrong.” Ming Shu’s voice was light and she wore a smile on her face as always. “It’s just that you used the wrong method. The differences between the two regions are too great to be changed overnight. After the next reset, take your time to fix it, and just take this time as experience gained.”
“Miss Jiang Xue…”
Ming Shu smiled. “Cheer up!”
…
The blood in her chest couldn’t stop flowing. The countdown flew away in milliseconds.
Qi Yu held Ming Shu and walked to the open area.
Luo Yan followed closely.
Qi Yu looked up at the sky, which was crowded with heavy clouds, like the eve of coming wind and rain.
He raised his palm slightly, and the Apocalypse appeared out of thin air, suspended over the center of his hand. The golden lights came out and swept around.
“Qi Yu…” Ming Shu frowned slightly. “What do you want to do?”
Qi Yu suddenly lowered his head, blocking her lips as well as her following words.
The golden light flashed in Ming Shu’s eyes. She tried to push Qi Yu away, but her life seemed to be running out.
Ming Shu felt that the Apocalypse on her was also shining, and her vision began to become unreal.
Ming Shu always felt that Qi Yu wanted to do something bad. She called the Harmony System and asked it to transfer her back quickly.
At the moment when her consciousness began to disengage, Ming Shu seemed to hear Luo Yan’s furious roar.
