185 Take My Parents’ Lives
However, Bai Tao couldn’t run no matter how hard he tried. His legs were weak, and his path was bumpy. If he weren’t careful, he would fall into the lava around him.
Bai Tao ran with all his might, but the gurgles of the zombies were already in his ears. He turned around in a panic and saw Su Qiao’s face appear before him. Su Qiao bore his teeth and tried biting off Bai Tao’s nose.
“Ah! Mommy, help me!” Bai Tao almost peed his pants in fear. He found his footing and sped up while the zombies swung their hands, narrowly brushing Bao Tao’s back.
But the harder Bai Tao ran, the steeper the terrain became. The area changed from a lava field to a steep rocky mountain that required Bai Tao to use both his hands to climb.
Bai Tao hated climbing mountains. But when he glanced at the creatures behind him, he started climbing no matter how unwilling he was.
“That hurts!” Bai Tao cried. He felt the pain of his flesh tearing, but he didn’t wake up. Instead, he continued running, or else the creatures would kill him.
The burning sensation on Bai Tao’s back motivated him to climb higher. He felt as though his brain was spasming in pain. The dream felt real to Bai Tao. ‘How did I get to this d*mn place, and why are these disgusting creatures after me?!’
Then a rock broke off the mountain as Bai Tao grabbed it, causing him to fall from a great height. The groans and gurgles of the zombies rang in Bai Tao’s ears alongside Su Qiao’s voice.
‘Why did that idi*t turn into a zombie? Is this the end of the world?’ A few decaying hands scratched at Bai Tao as ripping and tearing sounds echoed through the air. The zombies attacked Bai Tao, and he felt like his body was about to be torn apart.
“Ah, it hurts so much! Someone help me!” Bai Tao felt the pain of his skin tearing apart and immediately burst into tears. He was hurt and lost the ability to run. Bai Tao twisted and turned, rolling into the herd of zombies.
All Bai Tao could do was pray when he saw the rotten and decaying zombies approaching him. He peed his pants again, and blood covered his back. He muttered incoherently, “Someone, save me! I don’t want to die! I’ll do anything”
Suddenly, he felt like something strange had happened. The zombies stopped moving. Bai Tao paused for a second and quickly crawled out of the herd of zombies. Then he saw a black dress floating before him.
Bai Tao had just escaped death, and his mind was still a mess. He looked up and saw the floating black dress emitting mist in the shape of a face. The face wasn’t distinguishable, but Bai Tao noticed that the face was quietly looking at him.
Somehow, Bai Tao knew the figure before him was a woman, perhaps a demon from Hell. She had no legs and two curved horns on her head.
“Save me, please! My parents are wealthy and can give you anything you want!” Bai Tao’s body went limp as he spoke. He thought the woman could stop the zombies and save his life at that moment.
“No, I came to take your life. What can you give me in exchange for your life?” The demonic woman said in a faint and hollow voice.
Bai Tao thought that the demonic woman sounded like Wan Shuang. However, he didn’t have the time to think and quickly kowtowed. Then he said in a trembling voice, “Y-You can take my parents’ lives! They love me very much and are willing to die for me!”
