Apocalypse: I Have A Multiplier System - Chapter 39

Chapter 39: Chapter 39: Miracle

Su Jiyai gripped the pan tightly and steeled herself.

She took a deep breath and darted toward the nearest zombie, swinging the pan with all her might.

The pan connected with a sickening thud, and the zombie’s head snapped to the side before it crumpled to the ground.

Su Jiyai: “…” Oh! The pan is not that bad!

Rui Wang: “…” The bad luck mummy is so amazing?

Rui Xiao: “…” Even though the expert looks a bit unreliable, he sure does have some strength.

Fu Lin: “…” Am I seeing things?

From his perspective, Su Jiyai’s move though a bit uncoordinated, looks as if she had received some military training,

Su Jiyai blinked.

But in her mind, she praised the system,

“The pan is strong. Good system.”

[Thank you, Host.]

“Was it a blind luck?” Rui Wang asked with uncertainty.

“Uh…I don’t think so.” Fu Lin replied with uncertainty.

“Oh, the bad luck mummy has started to fight again.” Rui Xiao commented.

Rui Wang and Fu Lin instantly shifted their gaze to Su Jiyai.

The next few minutes opened the eyes of three people.

They saw with their own eyes how Su Jiyai swung her pan left and right and killed more than 30 zombies in just 3 minutes.

It was truly an eye-opening incident.

10 minutes later.

Rui Wang commented,

“I think, that mummy-like figure is an expert.”

Fu Lin and Rui Xiao nodded silently.

Suddenly Su Jiyai stopped fighting. And started to walk towards the car.

It was then that three people noticed a luxurious car parked nearby.

The sleek, black vehicle stood out starkly against the dilapidated surroundings, its polished exterior reflecting the sunlight.

“H-Hubby are scammers so advanced these days?”

Fu Lin shook his head,

“He is not a scammer.”

With a luxurious car like that…he hardly believes that Su Jiyai was a scammer.

Not to mention the fighting style of the bad-luck mummy figure was too standard.

“But why is he leaving? Is…is he perhaps not going to rescue us?” Rui Wang asked worriedly.

Both Fu Lin and Rui Xiao fell silently.

There were too many zombies surrounding the old factory.

No sane person would risk their life to save others, especially in a zombie apocalypse.

However, Su Jiyai’s actions were anything but typical. As they watched her approach the car, their minds filled with uncertainty and fear.

Su Jiyai opened the door of the car and sat inside.

Then…

Just as the three people’s faces fell and hope was about to be crushed, the car started and left.

Rui Wang’s eyes slowly moistened and she bit her lips.

“He left…he truly left…Wu…wu…Bad luck mummy please come back. We don’t want to die here.”

Rui Xiao lifted his hand to pat Rui Wang but remembering how he was about to sacrifice and if he showed any goodwill now…it will only make Rui Wang sadder later, he withdrew his hand.

Fu Lin patted Rui Wang slowly and said,

“Wang’er don’t cry. Please don’t cry.”

“You both leave.” Rui Xiao said coldly.

“No!” Rui Wang instantly denied him.

Rui Xiao snorted and his expression was vicious as he said,

“Can you bear to wrong Fu Lin any further? His son is in your womb. If you don’t leave now, you will be killing two lives!”

Rui Wang was stunned and looked at Fu Lin who was smiling bitterly.

“But…I can’t leave you here.” Rui Wang was extremely conflicted.

“Then forget about Fu Lin and your son. You are currently acting like a dumb person. If you leave now, you will save three lives, if you don’t leave now, you will kill four people. The choice is yours.”

Rui Wang’s face paled, torn between her loyalty to her father and the safety of her unborn child.

She looked to Fu Lin, whose eyes pleaded silently with her to make the right decision.

The weight of her choices bore down on her, each option seeming more impossible than the last.

Click.

Before Rui Wang could realize it, Rui Xiao knocked her unconscious with a swift, gentle strike to her neck. Fu Lin caught her before she fell.

“I’m sorry, Wang’er,” Rui Xiao said softly, his voice filled with regret. “But this is the only way.”

He turned towards Fu Lin and said softly,

“Take her away, I will distract the zombies.” Rui Xiao ordered.

Fu Lin nodded.

He carefully lifted Rui Wang into his arms, her unconscious form limp and unresponsive.

“Thank you, Father.” Fu Lin said softly.

He wasn’t a saint. Rui Xiao wasn’t a bad person but he never treated Rui Wang right. Not to mention, he truly was worried about Rui Wang and the child in the womb.

He would apologize to Rui Wang later.

Rui Xiao nodded slowly. He felt as if the world was turning blurry, but he gritted his teeth and stood up.

“Father?” Fu Lin’s alert voice sounded.

“What happened why are you shouting…”Rui Xiao couldn’t continue as he saw a small deep slash wound on the back of his palm that had turned black.

Horror appeared in Rui Xiao’s eyes.

Fu Lin subconsciously took three steps back.

Rui Xiao closed his eyes and shouted,

“Leave.”

Fu Lin fastly walked towards the door, but due to his injuries, he wasn’t even able to walk 10 steps, when he fell down. He subconsciously protected Rui Wang as he hit the ground, grunting in pain.

But maybe Rui Wang’s luck was truly good today because she felt a jolt and woke up.

Rui Wang touched her head and asked,

“Hm? What is happening?”

Rui Wang’s eyes fell on Rui Xiao’s hand’s wound and her sleepy eyes slowly widened in horror.

“No! No!”

Rui Xiao growled,

“Leave! Leave right now!”

He was about to turn into a zombie and didn’t want to drag his daughter.

Rui Wang cried while Fu Lin slowly stood up and then fell back again.

Finally, he pursued his lips and gently patted Rui Wang’s head,

“Wang’er you go, I want to discuss something with Father.”

His injuries were too grave and he couldn’t be rescued no matter what.

Rui Wang shook her head,

“No! I won’t leave without you two!”

How could Rui Wang not understand the truth?

“Wang’er don’t be stubborn. Go out. I will come back with father.” Fu Lin said gently.

“No! Please!”

Fu Lin gritted his teeth and held Rui Wang’s hand tightly,

“If you ever loved me and your father, you will leave. Wang’er I will die in 5 minutes, but my child can live with me for the next 50 years, please for my sake, leave! You did so much for your father, can’t you do something for me? How can you be so selfish? I want my child to live! Only then can I be happy. If not I will hate you! I will hate you even in the afterlife!”

Rui Wang lowered her head and after 2 minutes, she slowly stood up.

Her eyes turned lifeless and she slowly walked toward the door. On reaching the door, Rui Wang said in a low voice,

“Lin’er I am sorry for being such an incompetent wife. I am sorry for putting you in trouble. I am sorry for dragging you here to protect my father.

And father…I am sorry that I couldn’t protect you.”

Fu Lin and Rui Xiao’s eyes moistened.

Just from Rui Wang’s lifeless eyes, they could see how much she was suffering.

Rui Wang turned around,

“Could I for one last time, hug you?”

Fu Lin silently spread his arms and Rui Wang rushed into his embrace, holding him tightly. Tears streamed down her face, soaking into Fu Lin’s shirt.

He hugged her back, feeling the warmth of her body and the pounding of her heart, both of which he would soon lose forever.

“I love you, Wang’er,” Fu Lin whispered, his voice breaking.

“Take care of our child. Live a good life for both of us.”

Rui Wang nodded, her sobs muffled against his chest.

She wished a miracle could happen. She begged the gods for a miracle.

Click.

Suddenly the door to the room was opened a mummy-like figure entered the room.

“Excuse me, I wish to give you three more times, but the zombies are increasing slowly. Why don’t you continue your talk later?” Su Jiyai said kindly.

“You…didn’t you leave?” Rui Xiao asked with surprise.

“Huh? No.” Su Jiyai shook her head in confusion.

“I say you sitting the car and driving away.” Rui Xiao continued.

“Ah! That…I left to crush the zombies who were gathering around the entrance. That was the most efficient way.” Su Jiyai explained with a sheepish smile.

“I couldn’t just leave you all here.”

Rui Wang’s tears momentarily stopped as she looked at Su Jiyai in disbelief.

“You… you came back for us?”

“Of course,” Su Jiyai replied, “No one gets left behind. Now, let’s get you all out of here.”

Rui Wang almost burst into tears again.

This bad luck mummy-like figure is so good to them!
