"What's wrong? Feeling a bit dizzy?"
Liu Yue looked at the person in front of him, feeling his vision blur for a moment. The next second, the ground behind him suddenly cracked open, causing his expression to freeze as he fell down...
"Huh? I've been caught."
He opened his eyes, unsure of who was holding him. Although there was only one answer, why would they save him?
He stared blankly upwards.
He saw Liu You'er with one hand gripping the edge of the cliff and the other holding onto his arm. Normally, it wouldn't be a problem for her to pull them both up, but the deadly issue was that there seemed to be a massive whirlpool below, pulling them in.
"Hold... tight!"
Liu Yue could naturally feel the immense force pulling them down. He glanced below; it was bottomless, and falling would definitely mean certain death. But she was saving him...
Crack!
A faint sound came from the cliff wall. Liu Yue looked up and noticed cracks beginning to form. Soon, it would shatter, and at that point, both of them... would die.
"Let go!"
He shouted at the woman whose teeth were gritted tightly, veins bulging on her arms. But he saw her instantly transform into a zombie-like state, the red around her pupils slowly spreading inward.
"You..."
Liu Yue was startled, his heart began to panic, not because of Liu You'er’s appearance, but because he suddenly remembered what the doctor had said.
“That Liu You'er still retains human consciousness because she is only a half-Zombie; her brain has not been completely eroded by the virus. Once she fully transforms, she will no longer be human.”
“Damn it! Let go of me!!!”
He began to struggle vigorously, preferring to fall than to let her completely transform. He didn’t understand why he felt this way; it was purely instinctual, a refusal to let her die while protecting him.
“Shut… up!”
“Crack!”
The cliff wall emitted a sound of cracking once again.
At the same time,
Xuan Mo had just arrived and saw a hand belonging to a Zombie gripping the edge of the cliff. Immediately after, that hand loosened, and a person was thrown up.
Upon seeing the face of the person who was thrown up, he felt it looked familiar and suddenly remembered.
“Liu Yue! What happened to you…”
Suddenly, he thought of that hand, his expression changed drastically, and without hesitation, he jumped off the cliff.
Liu Yue had not yet recovered when he looked at the edge of the cliff, his heart twisted as if he had lost a loved one. He wanted to convince himself that it was an illusion, but the bruises on his hand reminded him that everything that had just happened was real.
“Ah~~”
He let out a whimper like a trapped beast, tears falling drop by drop as he knelt on the ground, his hands pounding fiercely against the earth, leaving them bloodied and bruised.
Clearly, this was the result he had wanted. Why, why was he feeling so miserable?
"Ah! Who are you to come and save me!!!"
The loud voice startled a flock of birds in the forest, causing them to flap their wings and fly further away.
---
Xuan Mo jumped down, increasing the wind speed to fall faster. Two seconds later, he saw Liu You'er.
Her expression was calm, neither sad nor happy, as if she were in a daze. One of her Cat Eyes had completely turned red, while the other remained black, with only the outer edge tinged with light red. Her teeth were sharp, and her nails were pitch black.
"Liu You'er!"
He increased the wind speed and grabbed Liu You'er, flipping their positions so that he was below her. At this moment, they were still about seventy or eighty meters above the ground, but with this suction force, they would hit the ground in just two seconds.
"Whoosh~"
A gust of wind blew the two of them to one side, providing some cushioning. Immediately after, another gust from below lifted them slightly.
At this point, they were still ten meters above the ground.
There was no time left.
"Bang!"
The two of them crashed heavily to the ground. Although Ability had evolved and enhanced their physical attributes, the ten-meter height, combined with the weight of another person and the strange suction force, caused Xuan Mo to let out a painful grunt, a metallic sweetness filling his mouth.
But he had no time to pause. He immediately picked up Liu You'er and jumped up, checking her body. He sighed in relief upon finding she was uninjured and then cautiously looked around.
This was a closed hollow area filled with white bones. The ground was dark red, exuding a strong smell of blood. To get out, they could only climb up.
He glanced at the towering, smooth cliff wall.
“...This method is still under consideration.”
For now, there was no danger; that suction force had disappeared after they fell.
But given the current situation...
Although Liu You'er was in her Zombie form, she was high-level and her appearance was similar to that of a human, aside from her peculiar Pupil and sharp tiger-like teeth, resembling a vampire. As for her nails, although black, they could return to normal length without fear of accidentally hurting anyone.
However, seeing her like this made Xuan Mo furious.
“Are you stupid? Trading yourself for him! Is he still the same Xuan Mo who treated you like a sister? If I weren't here, you'd be dead! This is just too much @￥%%”
“Shut up!”
“...Huh?”
Xuan Mo was taken aback. He thought she was angry but realized she had a cold expression with a hint of murderous intent. He waved his hand in front of her eyes.
“Did you hit your head?”
Liu You'er glanced at him lightly, took a step closer, and suddenly greedily inhaled his scent, looking intoxicated.
"…"
Xuan Mo took two steps back, stammering, "Y-you're scaring me, I..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Liu You'er lunged at him, straddling him and pinning him to the ground. She kissed him, and he was slightly taken aback as Liu You'er's tongue immediately slipped in, entangling with his.
"What the hell... what's going on!"
He lay there dazed, allowing Liu You'er to kiss him, unsure of where to place his hands, especially since she was moving on top of him.
"That's it!"
Liu You'er sat up, her gaze icy and filled with a murderous aura. Yet she licked the blood from the corner of her mouth with a hint of nostalgia, looking somewhat regretful.
Seeing her like this, Xuan Mo finally regained his senses and said irritably, "I got hurt saving you, and you're drinking my blood?"
Liu You'er paused for a moment, seemingly confused. "Hurt? What do you mean? If you're hurt, does that mean I can drink that delicious stuff? How would you get hurt?"
"…"
Both fell into silence. Looking at Liu You'er's eager eyes, Xuan Mo had no doubt that if he told her how to get hurt, she would gladly let herself bleed for a taste.
"Sigh."
He glanced around at the desolate scenery and felt a wave of sorrow. This wretched place was already dangerous enough; why did it have to come to this? All I wanted was to embrace beauty; is heaven playing tricks on me?
"Xuan... Mo?"
A familiar voice rang out, and he looked at the person sprawled across him with excitement, realizing that she was looking at him in confusion. Although she still appeared to be a Zombie, it seemed like her memories were returning.
"What are you doing here?"
Liu You'er felt like her head was about to explode. The side effects of becoming a Zombie were simply overwhelming; her mind was filled only with thoughts of slaughter and a thirst for flesh. She had forcefully cut off all connections to the outside world and all her senses, and after that, she couldn't remember anything.
"I... saved you."
Xuan Mo replied cautiously, observing her expression closely, afraid that she might revert back at any moment.
"What about Liu Yue?!"
Xuan Mo felt a surge of irritation and replied, "She's fine."
After a pause, he added, "You... stop touching me and get up!"
Liu You'er raised her hand in confusion and said, "Who is touching you?!"
