Chapter 132: Rescue Operation
“Xiaohua!” Chen Fei shouted at the top of her lungs. Her eyes were red as she roared and rushed up to save her. However, she was not strong enough and was quickly stopped by another tree root.
Chen Fei’s strength was not bad, but in front of the Piranha Flower, she could only protect herself. It was impossible to take care of others!
The person called Xiaohua was thrown up by the tree root. The tree root climbed up her neck to strangle her to death. Xiaohua’s face had already turned from red to purple. She looked at Chen Fei, who was trying her best to run towards her, and grinned. She was not afraid of death at all. She even felt a little relieved. It was really too difficult to survive in the apocalypse.
“Sister, I’ve wanted to call you that for a long time. I still want to meet you in my next life. I hope we can be real sisters.” Tears shone in her eyes. This was because she really could not bear to part with Chen Fei and her sisters from the Lightning Mercenary Group. This was the only place in this world that she was reluctant to leave.
She was an illegitimate daughter and had never experienced family love. Because of her identity, she had no friends. It was not until the end of the world that she was abandoned by her family. Just as she was about to be bitten to death by zombies, she met Chen Fei. She was the one who saved her and she even awakened her superpower.
For the first time, she felt that there was kindness in this world.
She hoped that she could meet her sooner in her next life!
“Xiaohua!” Chen Fei bit the corner of her mouth until it bled. Her movements became more and more fierce. She roared and rushed towards the Piranha Flower. However, because her superpower had been mostly exhausted previously, she could not hurt the Piranha Flower at all. Moreover, because she was too anxious, she was sent flying by a tree root.
Chen Fei fell to the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood. The spot where she was hit by the tree root was instantly mangled. She did not have the time to check her wound as her gaze was fixed on Xiaohua in midair.
Xiaohua was already turning grayish-white.
Chen Fei’s eyes were filled with regret. If not for her, Xiaohua would not die.
The members of the Lightning Mercenary Group gathered around Chen Fei. As they resisted the tree roots around them, they looked at Xiaohua worriedly. Xiaohua was the youngest in the Lightning Mercenary Group. They had always doted on her like a younger sister.
Xiaohua closed her eyes and her body slowly collapsed. Just as everyone was in despair, a cold white shadow flashed past and accurately struck the root on Xiaohua’s neck. The root broke and Xiaohua’s body fell from the air.
At the same time, the Piranha Flower let out a scream.
The members of the Lightning Mercenary Group, who had been observing the situation here, hurried forward to catch Xiaohua’s body. However, Xiaohua’s eyes were still closed and she did not move.
“Xiaohua. Wake up!” The woman holding her tested her pulse. When she felt that the pulse under her hand was no longer beating, her expression changed.
“Cough, cough, cough—” Before despair showed in the eyes of those around, the dead Xiao Hua suddenly coughed and opened her eyes a little. Although she was weak, she was still alive.
“Sister!” Xiaohua called out in a weak voice. The person hugging her cried with joy and patted her head. “Stop talking. Rest first.”
Chen Fei looked behind her. When she saw Su Shanshan walking out from the shadows, her gaze changed. She tried her best to stand up and say, “Thank you!”
She sounded very sincere. If not for Su Shanshan, she would have lost another sister.
Su Shanshan waved her hand to reject her thanks and said, “I just think that this girl looks quite pleasing to the eye. I didn’t save her because of you. Besides, I won’t save everyone.”
Her words stopped Chen Fei from asking her to help save Rose. Chen Fei pursed her lips and knew that she could not force this matter. She nodded to show that she understood. Then she turned to the members of the Lightning Mercenary Group and said, “All of you can leave. I’ll go alone this time.”
She knew that the chances of returning alive were slim. She had to go, but there was no need for her sisters to take the risk with her.
The members of the Lightning Mercenary Group naturally did not agree to go back and clamored to go with her.
