Chapter 28
It seems you two are truly in love.
Yang Ding quickly stood up and called out, "Wife, I'm here."
When Ye Rou saw her lively husband, she leaped over and pounced on Yang Ding, who quickly caught her in his arms.
"Honey, are you hurt?"
"No, I'm fine. Did you have any problems with the baby?"
"I have internal energy protecting me, so dealing with these ghostly things won't scare the baby."
"Let's hurry up and leave, there are still many White Walkers down there."
"Are all the people down there dead?"
"That's right, a lot of them were eaten."
Ye Rou's hearing was a thousand times better than Yang Ding's, and her fair little ears twitched.
"There are at least tens of thousands of White Walkers swarming downstairs. I'll guard this floor. You all hurry up and take all the living people away."
Yang Ding knew that if he stayed, he would only be a burden to his wife, so he said, "We're on the 40th floor now. You only need to hold on for 20 minutes. If you can't hold on, just retreat. You're my wife, and you're carrying my child. You two are the most important people, okay?"
【Affection Level: 16%, +1%↑】
[Cultivation Progress: 16.6%↑, +1%]
Ye Rou was deeply moved and gave Yang Ding a big kiss.
"Okay, I'll do as my husband says. Twenty minutes is definitely no problem. Let's go!"
Yang Ding led his classmates in a frantic run toward the rooftop.
"Those who still have the strength should spread out and check if there are any survivors in the tool shed."
"Could there be White Walkers?"
"My wife searched it up there; there's absolutely no way there would be any living White Walkers."
"Yang Ding, do you have any special talents? Why does Instructor Ye like you so much? My wife is ugly and stupid, and she complains about this and that every day."
"Sigh, it's all fate!" Yang Ding replied.
"Yeah, to be matched with a wife like Instructor Ye is truly a stroke of good luck."
Yang Ding glanced at his watch and roared, "Stop babbling! You're wasting the precious time my wife bought for us. We'll only go through each floor once. If it's not there, we'll go straight up."
Just as everyone was rushing towards the 42nd floor, footsteps suddenly came from the stairwell.
"Holy crap, what's going on?"
"That sounds like a real person," Yang Ding replied.
Sure enough, it turned out to be the enforcement team that followed Ye Rou down.
Captain Zhao Hu looked at Yang Ding and asked, "Just these two hundred men?"
"Yes, there's nothing below anymore, just tens of thousands of White Walkers."
Zhao Hu's face turned green. There were 1000 employees and students in this building, but only 280 had escaped.
This means that at least 500 people died this time.
These people are nowhere to be found, and the hungry White Walkers would probably devour even a single hair.
"We're doomed, we're doomed."
Ye Rou wasn't idle either; she used the Soul-Severing Spear to send dozens of alien corpses flying, blocking the stairwell.
Then he planted the gun in the ground, sat on the pigpen wall, wiped Xiao Mei's hands clean with a wet tissue, took out a lollipop from his pocket, unwrapped it, and put it in his mouth.
The earthy smell of the White Walkers is too overpowering; I have to use lemon candy to neutralize it.
"With so many cultivation resources, earth and wood type ability users are going to be ecstatic."
Who would have thought that there would be so many Others beneath the Jiangling breeding farm?
Whether these things had been multiplying underground for a long time or escaped from the Wall in the North by earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a technique used to describe a method of escaping from the ground).
If more than 10,000 of them are breeding underground, it means that there is a ghost mother or ghost queen beneath Jiangling City.
A single demon queen can give birth to five hundred to a thousand demons every year. If they are not eliminated in time, the entire underground system of the city may be destroyed.
Ye Rou sucked on a lollipop, looking at the wall next to the stairwell.
In no time, a large hole was carved out of the wall.
A white ghost poked its head out, staring at Ye Rou's long legs, baring its fangs, sticking out its snake-like tongue, and hissing with laughter.
This sound is something humans cannot produce, nor can they describe its disgust and horror.
Ye Rou kicked the Soul-Severing Spear, which pierced the mouth of the Otherworldly Ghost. Then, she flashed and grabbed the spear handle to unleash a burst of true energy.
The more than one hundred White Walkers blocking the way were instantly pierced through the body by the true energy.
At this moment, the wall collapsed with a roar, exposing a gap of more than ten square meters, and the Otherworldly demons rushed towards Ye Rou like a flood.
Ye Rou wielded her two-meter-long Soul-Severing Spear with impenetrable skill, causing numerous casualties wherever it went.
Fang Dalong was right. With Ye Rou's cultivation level, killing these alien ghosts was as easy as peeling a radish.
It's even easier than peeling radishes, because she can kill for three days and three nights.
After killing another three hundred, the corpses of the White Walkers piled up like a mountain, once again blocking the gap in the wall.
Ye Rou glanced at her watch and decided that was enough. "I'm not playing with you guys anymore."
There are just too many. If they keep killing them, they'll really exhaust her.
Just as Yang Ding and his classmates reached the rooftop, Ye Rou burst out of the ground and came up at almost the same time.
Looking at the concrete rooftop, Yang Ding was a little worried about whether his wife's head was hard enough.
Enforcement team captain Zhao Hu rushed forward, "Instructor Ye, have the White Walkers caught up yet?"
"They didn't catch up; instead, they're running downhill. These guys are almost as intelligent as humans; they're incredibly organized."
After Ye Rou finished speaking, she glanced at the rescued teachers and students and asked, "Where is Xiang Bin? He arranged for my husband to stay on the seventh floor. I haven't settled accounts with him yet."
"I didn't see him come up."
"He didn't come up, did he?"
Ye Rou's tone conveyed concern, but in her heart she was praying, "He didn't come up, he didn't come up."
"It doesn't matter anymore. So many students have died, what does it matter if a few instructors die?"
Zhao Hu quickly arranged for people to seal the rooftop door and take turns on guard duty to prevent the aliens from escaping.
The White Walkers live in darkness and have excellent night vision, but they are very afraid of light. They rarely leave their caves to hunt during the day, so as long as they can survive until daytime, they are basically safe.
Just then, ten manned drones sped over.
The first to come down was Zhou Ruoxi, followed by all the earth-elemental experts that could be found in Jiangling City.
She seems to particularly like wearing business suits. Today, she wasn't wearing a jacket, just a white shirt, gray striped trousers, and high heels, which matched her sophisticated and mature aura.
Zhao Hu immediately led hundreds of law enforcement officers in shouting in unison, "Welcome, Governor!"
Zhou Ruoxi glanced at Ye Rou and asked, puzzled, "What are you doing here?"
"I'm saving my husband!"
"Did it jump over from the instructors' building at Gangneung University?"
"Only thirty-odd kilometers, a piece of cake."
Zhou Ruoxi was speechless. "Looks like you two are truly in love, Ye Rou. Your taste is indeed unique."
Seeing that she was always acting strangely, Ye Rou decided not to pay any attention to her and put away the Soul-Severing Spear.
Zhou Ruoxi glanced at Yang Ding, looking at him with newfound respect; Ye Rou was notoriously difficult to deal with.
Does this unassuming fellow possess some unique skill in dealing with women?
Yang Ding was also looking at Zhou Ruoxi; this was the first time the two had met.
As a seasoned driver, Yang Ding was surprised to discover that, if Governor Zhou's aura wasn't too strong and aggressive, her face shape and appearance were actually quite gentle and kind.
"Report the casualty figures to me."
Zhao Hu swallowed hard. "The law enforcement officers didn't suffer any casualties, but it's estimated that more than 500 of the livestock workers in Building 9 died."
Zhou Ruoxi stared at him and asked, "More than 500?"
"There are more than ten thousand White Walkers down there."
"That's what Instructor Ye said; she alone killed over a thousand White Walkers."
Ye Rou nodded quickly, "Besides those I killed, there are at least ten thousand more."
