Chapter 307: Chapter 154 Jiang Shixue_2
Yesterday’s disappearance of Li Qiuyu made him quite uneasy.
After his Ascension to Level Two, not only had his five senses improved significantly, but even his sixth sense seemed to have been enhanced.
For something to make him feel so uneasy, last night’s Toad zombie was not enough, it had to be at least a Gorilla zombie level!
But this time, there shouldn’t be any other Level 2 Zombies in Shuize county, this unease… what exactly is it?
Suddenly, Wang Tao saw a furtive figure climbing over the broken base wall, and when she lifted her head, Wang Tao was taken aback.
“Li Qiuyu?”
…
At the east wall of the base.
Li Qiuyu had exerted some effort, but finally managed to climb inside.
“Hu~”
She took a heavy breath, then looked at her rain-soaked clothing, somewhat headache induced about how to explain later… After making sure there was no one around, she immediately headed towards the comprehensive building.
“Where did you go?”
Out of the blue, a voice sounded behind her.
“Ah—”
Li Qiuyu jumped in fright, she quickly turned around, only to see that Wang Tao had appeared not far behind her at some point.
“I… I went to the Administration Building! Yes, I was so scared last night, I accidentally ran into the Administration Building…”
Li Qiuyu, looking at the nearby Administration Building, hurriedly explained.
Wang Tao said nothing, walking step by step towards her with an expressionless face.
After his Ascension to Level 2, Wang Tao had grown considerably larger. Previously, he was one meter eighty, but now he stood one meter ninety tall and with his muscular build, he exuded an overwhelming presence.
Seeing Wang Tao approaching her, Li Qiuyu instinctively took a step back.
“I’m asking you again, where did you go last night?”
Wang Tao’s tone was somewhat cold.
Li Qiuyu had never seen Wang Tao like this before, she felt afraid and dared not meet his eyes.
“I, I was really in the Administration Building…”
“Ah, you’re disappointing me.” Wang Tao suddenly let out a sigh, then abruptly stretched out his hand, grabbing Li Qiuyu by the neck.
“Uh—”
Li Qiuyu’s eyes widened immediately, her face a mix of disbelief and shock as she looked at Wang Tao. Seeing the cold indifference on his face, she frantically clawed at Wang Tao’s arms, trying to break free.
But with her strength, she was no match for Wang Tao. She looked at him pleadingly with a desperate expression, though Wang Tao showed no mercy.
Just then, Wang Tao suddenly felt as if a pair of eyes filled with rage, killing intent, and resentment was staring at his back!
Wang Tao was on high alert, yet his face remained undisturbed, he slightly loosened his grip on Li Qiuyu, then spoke softly,
“Can you talk now?”
“Cough, cough…” Li Qiuyu quickly covered her neck, coughing violently, then she looked at Wang Tao with a face full of suffering, “I’ll say… cough, cough…”
Wang Tao hadn’t actually exerted much force just now, it just looked very scary. With his current strength, a little extra force would have been enough to kill Li Qiuyu.
However, with Li Qiuyu’s delicate skin, the slightest rough handling was more than she could bear, and her neck showed some red marks as if she had been mistreated by Wang Tao.
Wang Tao took Li Qiuyu to an office in the Administration Building, and only after entering the room did that watchful sensation finally disappear. Wang Tao felt a slight disappointment.
Wang Tao sat on the sofa, while Li Qiuyu stood at the door, still afraid of him and hesitant to approach.
“Sit.”
Wang Tao gestured next to him.
Remembering the intimidating feeling from before, Li Qiuyu didn’t dare to resist and obediently sat on the sofa, though she kept her distance from Wang Tao.
Wang Tao shifted his position, sitting close to Li Qiuyu, and looked at the very tense Li Qiuyu. As he reached out his hand, Li Qiuyu’s neck instinctively flinched.
Wang Tao placed his hand on the red mark on Li Qiuyu’s neck and said softly,
“Sorry, did I hurt you?”
Li Qiuyu looked up, not sure what Wang Tao meant by that. However, since Wang Tao had always given her a good impression and seemed less frightening when not looking so stern, she felt somewhat relieved.
“It hurts…”
Li Qiuyu spoke up, a hint of grief in her voice.
“How’s your daughter doing?”
Wang Tao asked again.
“She…”
In a flash, Li Qiuyu stood up abruptly, her eyes wide with shock as she stared at Wang Tao.
“You—”
Seeing Li Qiuyu’s reaction, Wang Tao instantly understood.
He had guessed right!
The Poisonous Fog Zombies from the previous day had come from Shuizhe Mountain, and most of them were students from Shuize University, including Li Qiuyu’s daughter. Li Qiuyu had disappeared suddenly last night and had sneaked back today. Li Qiuyu lied to Wang Tao, whom she trusted deeply and owed her life to. Combined with that ominous glare…
All these signs gave Wang Tao reason to suspect that Li Qiuyu had seen her daughter! And her daughter’s condition might be far from good…
“What are you talking about, I… I don’t understand…”
Li Qiuyu hurriedly denied it.
But her denial only confirmed Wang Tao’s suspicions even more.
“Couldn’t your daughter have turned into a zombie? That’s not right, if she had turned into a zombie, she wouldn’t have any consciousness. Or… is she like Wu Fei and Shao Yong, with too much Internal Impurity, on the verge of turning into a zombie?”
“You… stop it… wuwu…”
Wang Tao’s words shattered Li Qiuyu’s composure. She crouched on the ground, covering her face as she cried.
Wang Tao forcefully pulled her back up, making her sit beside him, and then he helped her wipe away her tears.
“Stop crying; now can you talk? What exactly happened? You know, maybe I’m the only one who can help you.”
