Chapter 123: Strange Wind Blades

In the end times, any unusual sight and sound could cost you your life.

As expected, a gust of wind blew between the two of them. Su Shanshan quickly pulled Gu Jincheng to dodge. The harmless wind just now instantly blew up a crack on the ground. One could imagine that if they had not dodged just now, this wind would have cut them apart.

The next gust of wind came. Su Shanshan grabbed the armrest of the shopping cart’s wheelchair and quickly flashed dodged the oncoming wind blades with Gu Jincheng. Perhaps the person in the dark was getting impatient. Seeing that they did not hit these two cunning humans, the wind blades coming at them increased abruptly, from one to more than ten simultaneously.

Su Shanshan dodged the wind blades with a serious expression. Not only did she have to be fast, but she also had to determine where the next wind blade would come from.

These wind blades came from all directions every time. They could not even find the thing that was secretly attacking them. The number of wind blades was increasing. Now, there were being attacked by more than 30 wind blades at the same time. Su Shanshan’s expression was becoming more and more grim. Not only did she have to guarantee her own safety, but she also had to look out for Gu Jincheng. The pressure was not small.

The wind blades were moving faster and faster. Su Shanshan could not even see the wind blades around her anymore. She closed her eyes and relied on her senses to avoid them. She increased her speed to the maximum. Although she was not injured, her heart was heavier.

If she could not find the source of the wind blades, she would not be able to hold out for much longer.

“Gu Jincheng!” Su Shanshan shouted. She had already reached her speed limit, but the speed of the wind blades around her had clearly increased. A small wind blade cut across her cheek, bringing with it a hint of pain.

Gu Jincheng had been closing his eyes and searching, but he clearly felt an inexplicable force blocking his mental power. After much difficulty, he found the location of a little energy wave and quickly said, “West.”

Su Shanshan’s eyes widened. The timing was just right. She dodged the wind blades as she approached the west.

In the west was a utility storage room. The door was locked. There was nothing outside, but Gu Jincheng’s feeling could not be wrong. It should be here.

Gu Jincheng gave Su Shanshan a look of certainty. She kicked open the door of the utility room. They heard a thud, and scanned the entire room.

There were only some old boxes arranged haphazardly by the wall. Other than these, there was nothing else.

Just as Su Shanshan was about to say something, she was pulled down by Gu Jincheng. She sat on Gu Jincheng’s thigh directly, and a wind blade flashed where she was standing just now. The height of this wind blade was exactly where her head was. If Gu Jincheng had not pulled her just now, even if she did not die, a layer of her scalp would have been cut off.

Su Shanshan’s expression was ugly as she shouted, “Come out and fight if you dare, maggot hiding in the dark.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the surrounding wind blades collectively paused for a second. This scene made Su Shanshan frown lightly. She leaned close to Gu Jincheng’s ear and said, “Looks like this thing is conscious. At least it can understand what I’m saying.”

A hint of a smile flashed across Gu Jincheng’s eyes. This little woman always comes up with strange moves.

She had done it on purpose just now. She did not really expect to find out something.

The wind blades only paused for a moment before they began to wreak havoc again. They were faster and stronger than before, as though something was venting its anger.

Su Shanshan dodged these wind blades and observed their direction. She realized that although they were launched from all directions, the wind blades would fly to one place before disappearing, right in front of the utility room where they were standing.

Because the force of the wind blades would weaken by the time they came to this place, they were not in any danger for the time being. They did not even need to dodge. When the blades hit their bodies, they would only tickle them and not cause any harm.

“What do you think this is?” Su Shanshan asked curiously.

It didn’t look like a zombie attack method. If it was a zombie, it would have come out long ago.
