Chapter 126 College Students
The next moment, the girl leaped off the roof.
She did not fall.
A pair of transparent wings unfolded behind her, supporting her body and tracing a graceful arc in the air. She wasn't flying, but gliding... gliding from the rooftop of the old building towards Su Mu's direction.
Su Mu's brows furrowed sharply.
She wasn't trying to escape.
As she glided, she pulled something out of her pocket... like a brick, or maybe a block of concrete... and threw it at the wild boar's head.
"Snapped!"
The brick hit the wild boar squarely on the head and shattered into several pieces.
The wild boar, just recovering from its dizziness, was enraged by the blow. It raised its head, its scarlet eyes locking onto the figure in the air, and let out a deafening roar.
Then, it changed direction and rushed towards the building where Su Mu was.
Su Mu instantly understood the girl's intention.
She's luring a monster.
The seven people on the rooftop were trapped by a wild boar. If the boar wasn't lured away, the old building would collapse sooner or later, and everyone would die. She chose to use her flying ability to distract the boar, buying the others time to escape.
Good idea.
But the problem is... she was pointing in the direction he was in.
Grass!
Su Mu cursed under his breath, but it was too late to run. He could only watch expressionlessly as the girl glided towards him. Her gliding trajectory was erratic, clearly indicating she wasn't very skilled at it yet, flying erratically. But the general direction was right... she was flying towards the roof of his three-story building.
Behind them, the wild boar had already rushed downstairs.
"boom......!"
The massive impact caused the entire building to shake violently. Fine cracks appeared in the concrete floor beneath Su Mu's feet, and dust fell from the ceiling. This building was only three stories high, much more fragile than the five-story old building they had just encountered; the wild boar's impact had caused at least several cracks in the walls.
The wild boar was knocked back a few steps, shook its head, and entered a brief state of dizziness.
Just then, the girl landed on the rooftop.
Her landing was unsteady... The moment her feet touched the ground, she stumbled forward two steps and almost fell. The transparent wings on her back retracted the instant she landed, disappearing without a trace.
She looked up and saw Su Mu.
Then she froze.
Her round eyes blinked behind her glasses, her mouth slightly open as if she wanted to say something but said nothing. Her face was full of surprise... She clearly hadn't noticed anyone in the building.
Su Mu looked at her, expressionless.
"Excuse me!" the girl finally spoke, her voice a little hurried, "I didn't know there were people here! I..."
Another loud crash came from downstairs. The wild boar, recovering from its dizziness, charged again. The entire building shook violently, and the girl lost her balance, landing hard on her backside.
Su Mu remained completely still. His feet seemed nailed to the ground, and his center of gravity didn't shift at all.
He glanced down at the building. The wild boar was retreating, preparing for its next attack. The three-story building was already structurally damaged; a few more impacts and it would likely collapse.
He glanced at the girl again.
She sat on the ground, her hands supporting her weight, her face pale, her glasses askew. Her lips were trembling slightly, but there was no fear in her eyes... more of a sense of remorse for having "caused trouble."
"Take me down." Su Mu raised his pistol.
His tone was flat; he wasn't discussing it, but stating a demand.
The girl was stunned for a moment: "What?"
"You can fly." Su Mu pointed behind her. "Take me down."
The girl's face paled even more. She shook her head, her voice trembling slightly, "My...my skill has a cooldown period, and I can only use it once in a short time. And...and I can't carry anyone, I can't even fly steadily myself..."
Su Mu stared at her for two seconds.
He saw no sign of lying in her eyes. And lying would do her no good at a time like this.
Seeing that Su Mu hadn't put his gun away, she opened her mouth as if to say something, but then swallowed her words. After a few seconds of silence, she spoke softly, her tone tinged with apology: "Um... don't worry, my teammates will find a way to come and rescue me. We've already discussed it; I'll lure the monster away, and they'll come down from the other side and then come around to meet me."
Su Mu looked at the woman with a strange expression.
"Are any of your relatives among them? Your parents?" he asked.
The girl paused for a moment, then shook her head: "No...they're all friends I met in the last couple of days."
Su Mu then asked a completely unrelated question: "What valuable blueprints or equipment do you have on you?"
The girl was clearly taken aback by the question. She paused for a moment, then subconsciously touched her pocket, hesitatingly shaking her head: "N-nothing..."
"Then why should they save you?"
After saying this, Su Mu stopped talking.
The girl's lips moved as if she wanted to retort, but she swallowed the words back.
Su Mu walked to the edge of the rooftop and looked down. The wild boar was retreating, preparing for the next attack.
The three-story building is structurally damaged, with several noticeable cracks in the walls and cement fragments scattered all over the floor. A few more impacts could cause it to collapse.
Three stories high, seven or eight meters high. With his current physical condition, he wouldn't be seriously injured if he jumped, and he could also slide down the pipe or in other ways.
His only worry was... that if he went down so rashly, he would become the boar's primary target. Facing a level seven monster charging on flat ground would be far more dangerous than it was now.
"Um..." the girl behind me spoke again, her voice timid, "Could you... put the gun away? It scares me..."
Su Mu ignored him, but adjusted the direction of the gun.
This woman is far too naive. In this apocalyptic world, her first reaction to seeing a gun isn't "Will he shoot me?" but rather "I'm scared..." Her way of thinking is completely out of step with this world.
But Su Mu didn't think she posed any threat to him. Someone who couldn't even glide steadily was practically negligible in combat. Nevertheless, he remained vigilant... In this world, the seemingly most harmless person is often the most deadly.
Downstairs, the wild boar charged at us again.
"boom......!"
The entire building shook violently. The girl lost her balance, swayed to the side, and fell to the ground. Su Mu remained motionless.
He did not rush to take action.
He's gambling.
He wasn't gambling on his own luck, but on whether his "teammates" would come to her rescue. Although he already had the answer in his heart, he still wanted to see it for himself.
As it turned out, his judgment of human nature was correct.
The six people ran out from the other side of the old building.
They saw the girl on the rooftop; someone glanced up, but only for a moment. Then, they were pulled along by the people next to them and ran in the opposite direction without looking back.
Without hesitation, without looking back, no one said, "Let's go meet her."
"Hey...! I'm here! Wait for me...!" The girl shouted in that direction from the edge of the roof. Her voice was loud and carried far across the empty campus.
But those six people ran even faster.
Soon, their figures disappeared at the end of the tree-lined path on campus.
The girl's voice gradually faded, finally becoming an almost inaudible murmur: "No...no...they must have gone to think of another way..."
Su Mu remained silent.
That's exactly how it is.
It's already the fourth day of the apocalypse, and this woman still hasn't realized the cruelty of this world. You don't have anything of value to them, and they're not your family... Even if they were family, unless they were close relatives like parents or children, they wouldn't risk their lives to save you in this dangerous situation.
"I'm sorry," a girl's voice came from the side, like a deflated balloon. "It's my fault... I'll go down and distract it. You find a way to escape."
Su Mu looked at her with some confusion: "Didn't you say your flight skill has a long cooldown time?"
"You can jump without flying." The girl bit her lip.
Su Mu was stunned for a moment before he realized... When she said "jump," she meant to jump directly down. Not fly, not glide, but use her body to attract the wild boar's attention.
"Are you a college student?" Su Mu asked.
The girl looked at him with surprise: "How did you know?"
Su Mu glanced at her and said in a flat tone, "Your eyes are rather clear."
After saying that, he stopped looking at her, turned around, and faced the wild boar that was retreating downstairs.
The gun was pointed downwards, aimed at the head of the giant beast.
Aim at the wild boar that's backing away downstairs.
"biu, biu, biu..."
All three bullets hit the wild boar in the head.
But not just any spot... The bullet pierced the wild boar's eye with pinpoint accuracy. The crimson eyeball exploded from the impact, and dark red blood and vitreous humor gushed from the socket, splattering everywhere.
The wild boar let out a piercing roar, its massive body stiffening abruptly before it began to violently shake its head. It was enraged, not from pain... but from losing its sight.
