Quick Transmigration: What to Do When the Male Supporting Character You Saved Becomes Obsessed with

Chapter 406 "Infecting the World" - Male Mother (17)

As long as the weapons are up to standard, a little lack of skill is not a problem.

Although Lu Liruan knew that her skills were not lacking at all... just a little bit.

Lu Liruan smiled at Liao Tingyuan, meaning: Don't worry about me, I won't hold you back.

But in Liao Tingyuan's eyes, in the dark doorway, a petite girl carrying a large cooking ladle smiled eerily in the dim light.

Liao Tingyuan didn't know what to say.

Lu Liruan didn't expect him to say anything.

The thing on the ground was completely oblivious to their exchange of glances. In just a few seconds, it had already wriggled and twisted its way up.

Looking at his ripped-open abdominal cavity, which was almost empty, Lu Liruan could imagine how fiercely Liao Tingyuan had beaten him.

“He…” Lu Liruan tiptoed over a bloody lump of flesh on the ground and ran to Liao Tingyuan’s side.

Lu Liruan originally wanted to ask Liao Tingyuan, "This thing has been bothering us for so long, when will it finally end tonight? And in what way will it end?"

Do we really have to wait for the sun to rise?

Or is it that if we don't deal with him, the sun won't rise?

"It can't be cut." Liao Tingyuan spoke first, explaining earnestly, before she could even process what she was saying.

"Huh?" Lu Liruan was taken aback, then realized what Liao Tingyuan was talking about.

"Oh, if you can't cut it, then... you can't cut it." Lu Liruan felt that the conversation between the two of them was quite illegal.

The illegal acts of criminals.

Lu Liruan's mindset changed quickly; she has always been very adaptable. If it weren't for that, she would have been unable to withstand the pressure of life long ago.

She had successfully convinced herself that she was in a bizarre game, and that the thing in front of her wasn't human, but a scary monster in the game. This way, she wouldn't have any psychological burden when she attacked.

Thanks to this thing, it really does look very different from a human.

"You're going to use this?" Lu Liruan asked, noticing Liao Tingyuan looking at the large ladle in his hand.

"It's okay, you can use it." Liao Tingyuan shook his head, trying to keep his attention away from that thing.

That was his favorite wok...

Liao Tingyuan has no particular pursuit in life; he just wants to live comfortably and happily. This pot is the one he finds most convenient and comfortable to use when cooking.

"How long are we supposed to hold out?"

With a handy weapon at hand, Lu Liruan felt more confident and even a little eager to try it out.

“I don’t know… We should try to figure out where this thing came from.” Liao Tingyuan and Lu Liruan were back to back, but he turned to face the thing directly.

“How are we supposed to figure out where that thing came from? He’s completely disfigured!” Lu Liruan also understood that what they were seeing now was only a partial picture.

They had no idea where to start, let alone find the source of the contamination. They had no idea what kind of source of infection could cause people and cats to become like this!

Liao Tingyuan sensed her agitation and said softly, "Don't rush, we need to solve things one by one."

His voice seemed to have a calming effect. Lu Liruan took a deep breath, and her fear, which had turned into irritability, calmed down considerably.

Let's not think about the future for now. Liao Tingyuan is right. Let's deal with the immediate problem first.

The phone screen's light was quite good this time. Although it was always blurry and dim, it never went completely black and provided them with a faint illumination.

The darkness they were in was different from ordinary darkness. The human eye can adapt to ordinary darkness, and after a while, one can see in the darkness.

But the darkness they were in seemed to have a physical form; only light could penetrate it, and where there was no light, it was always pitch black.

"How about we go downstairs and give it a try?" Lu Liruan suggested.

Liao Tingyuan glanced at the large spoon in Lu Liruan's hand, thought for a moment, and then pinched her shoulder with his fingers to indicate his agreement.

Just now, Lu Liruan could only rely on his protection because Liao Tingyuan was unwilling to take risks, but now it seems that Lu Liruan has the ability to protect herself in a simple way.

Liao Tingyuan didn't completely see her as someone to be protected, and Lu Liruan sensed this as well. Rather than protecting her, Liao Tingyuan was more like... guiding and helping her.

They didn't treat her like a hothouse flower.

He would never handle anything that Lu Liruan had to face alone, but would instead have her deal with it together with him.

Liao Tingyuan never stopped Lu Liruan from exploring, as long as Lu Liruan's safety was ensured.

If Lu Liruan could connect this to Liao Tingyuan's previous work, she would realize that this really does resemble... taking care of children.

"Let's go!" After receiving Liao Tingyuan's approval, Lu Liruan took the lead and moved towards the stairs leading down.

She faced the stairs, while Liao Tingyuan had his back to her, continuing to stare at the thing that was also moving.

Worried that he wouldn't be able to see where he was going, Lu Liruan tightly wrapped her arm around Liao Tingyuan's and whispered, "I'll support you..."

Then the two realized that the thing seemed to have sensed their intention to escape, and suddenly its movements became even faster.

He opened his mouth, and because he pulled too hard, Lu Liruan watched helplessly as his jaw fell off, dislocated and stuck there, unable to close. Foul-smelling liquid dripped from his mouth, and he suddenly lunged forward, spurting out a swollen chunk of flesh!

He only had half a tongue left, which had fallen out!

Lu Liruan didn't understand why he only had half a tongue.

She had no time to think any further, for the thing leaped down from above like a tiger pouncing on its prey!

I rely on!

Lu Liruan now understood why Liao Tingyuan had advised her not to run downstairs!

It's much easier for them to pose a threat from above than for them to be on flat ground or for them to be above the thing!

Liao Tingyuan's defense against the gravity-enhanced attack was not so easy either.

After running one and a half floors, the thing caught up with them. At the closest point, Liao Tingyuan used the back of his knife to press against the thing's open mouth, his teeth biting into the metal. The squeaking sound was unsettling.

"We can't run anymore!" Lu Liruan shouted from the landing platform. She saw that the thing was just a hair's breadth away from grabbing Liao Tingyuan!

That thing looks like it has a virus. If Liao Tingyuan is injured by it, will he turn into a zombie?

Lu Liruan had this thought in her mind: Could this source of infection really be related to zombies?

"Step back, I'll take it!"

Lu Liruan gestured to Liao Tingyuan to try the phone's flashlight function again.

It hadn't been used for a while, but now it's bright again.

"Hold my phone up for me!" Lu Liruan gasped for breath; she had only run a few steps and was already out of breath.

“I was looking at him just now…” Lu Liruan hesitated before continuing.

"What?" Liao Tingyuan was confused by her sudden action.

"Never mind..." Lu Liruan shook her head. Let's give it a try first!

That thing has already swooped down!

Lu Liruan assumed a horse stance, stabilizing her position.

"Or..." Liao Tingyuan was terrified by her posture, because it seemed... completely useless.

"Yo-hey!"

"what--"

"Oh!"

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Liruan pulled the large spoon back to the furthest distance her arm could reach, gathered her strength, and swung it fiercely upwards!

The next second, Lu Liruan's scream almost pierced her own and Liao Tingyuan's eardrums!

头！

头！

Its head flew off!

Not to mention Lu Liruan, this shocking scene made Liao Tingyuan feel his heart pounding in his throat!

Accompanied by a loud and generous "Good luck!", a rotting head, dripping with juice, broke off from the thing's neck and flew out in an arc-shaped parabola.

It landed on the security door of a resident's house.

Lu Liruan never expected such a shocking effect. Her hand loosened, her knees buckled, and she was about to sit on the ground.

Liao Tingyuan reacted quickly, lifting her up and letting her lean against him. Lu Liruan, grasping at a straw, desperately tried to pull at Liao Tingyuan's clothes, burying her face in his chest, trying to hide her eyes like an ostrich.

Liao Tingyuan's collar was pulled so tight it was choking him, but he didn't break free. Instead, he stroked her hair, making her feel safer leaning against him: "Pat your head, don't be scared. Pat your head..."

He subconsciously whispered words of comfort.

Bad news: Lu Liruan felt like she was going crazy.

Good news: The thing fell to the ground and stopped moving.

Liao Tingyuan hadn't expected that thing would lose its ability to move in this way, but he was ultimately relieved.

He felt the girl nestled in his arms slowly stop trembling, and he could hear her sniffling.

"Crying?" Liao Tingyuan was taken aback and looked down.

But Lu Liruan unceremoniously rubbed her face against his shirt and said in a muffled voice, "I didn't cry, my tear ducts just burst open in fright."

"Heh—" Liao Tingyuan wanted to laugh, but then felt that laughing now would be disrespectful to Lu Liruan.

"Don't be afraid, you're amazing, that thing isn't moving anymore." Since his clothes were already dirty, Liao Tingyuan didn't care. He carefully wiped Lu Liruan's face with his sleeve, and then pinched it after he finished.

It's just a professional habit.

"Is it really dead?" Lu Liruan peeked out from in front of him, squinting to look, and sure enough, she saw the headless body lying there.

"Ah."

"Phew—" Lu Liruan breathed a long sigh of relief: "That scared me to death!"

Liao Tingyuan asked curiously, "How did you come up with that idea...?"

Did they slap his head hard with a big spoon?

Lu Liruan swallowed hard, knowing what Liao Tingyuan was going to ask: "Just now, when he lunged down, I saw what looked like a horizontal wound on his neck."

It's long, running across the entire neck.

Lu Liruan thought that since he had an injury on his neck, it meant that the area was the most vulnerable. Lu Liruan originally intended to swing the spoon at his neck, but the area of ​​the spoon was too large, and Lu Liruan also slightly missed the mark, which resulted in a blow to the head.

But Lu Liruan was completely unprepared for having her head slapped away.

Lu Liruan didn't think she had overreacted at all; anyone would be startled by that scene!

Liao Tingyuan asked her if she could stand there by herself, and Lu Liruan nodded, indicating that she had recovered.

Liao Tingyuan walked over, squatted down, and looked at the broken part of the creature's neck.

"It wasn't you who interrupted it; it was already interrupted."

Liao Tingyuan pointed: "What you see is not a wound, but a cut."

Lu Liruan tried to take a look, but as she moved closer, her eyes involuntarily darted to the side.

"I'm really impressed..." Lu Liruan cheered herself up in her heart and looked over suddenly.

Just as Liao Tingyuan said, the wound on his neck had a very clean cut, as if it had been cut open by some sharp weapon.

"Is this...the cause of his death?" Lu Liruan murmured, "Is this some crucial information?"

"Maybe."

"Your aim is pretty good," Liao Tingyuan casually offered a word of encouragement.

"I've practiced."

"Practice?"

“I used to work part-time at a golf course and learned how to swing from someone.”

Liao Tingyuan: ...

And then you swung your head out like a golf ball?

"Pretty, pretty impressive."

Liao Tingyuan then checked the thing's head.

Lu Liruan watched as he calmly used a knife to peel back the melted skin of his face, trying to see it clearly.

"Stop studying it." Lu Liruan picked a clean spot and plopped down on it.

"What...what do we do now?"

Lu Liruan felt the surrounding darkness gradually thinning, a fact confirmed by the slowly brightening light of her flashlight.

Spacetime has come to an end.

Liao Tingyuan raised his hand to check the time: "2:21 a.m.

Liao Tingyuan paused, and he and Lu Liruan exchanged glances.

He knew what Lu Liruan meant, but now, faced with this mess, how should he deal with it?

"Are we going to throw them down piece by piece?" Lu Liruan's vision went black. What exactly is the source of infection in this space?! How could they come up with such a mind-numbing thing to do?

Lu Liruan looked at the various internal organs scattered on the stairs. Many of the pieces of meat had been trampled and stuck to the ground during their chase.

Fortunately, there are only the two of them in this space right now; otherwise, if anyone saw them, they would be so frightened that they would have nightmares for the rest of their lives.

Lu Liruan suddenly thought of a sentence: "I don't know, officer. When he came, it was in pieces. It has nothing to do with it!"

"What are you muttering about?" Liao Tingyuan didn't hear him clearly.

"It's nothing." Lu Liruan sighed. "I'll go inside and get a trash bag."

A few days ago, she felt that Liao Tingyuan was sometimes quite depressed. When talking about work, he would sigh three times for every sentence.

Now she understands.

Working is a crazy job, isn't it?

Especially this kind of class.

Finally, the bits that fell on the ground were swept up with a broom and put into a trash bag. Lu Liruan put the rest into a separate small trash bag.

Since his body couldn't fit inside, Liao Tingyuan sacrificed a bed sheet, wrapped his body in it, and dragged him out of the building.

Lu Liruan never imagined that one day she would go out at two o'clock in the morning.

Dispose of the body.

This is truly unbelievable...
