XG 117 - Cell phones will kill you, one way or another

Kang Xunsu broke away from L.L. and rushed to Wong Xue Guo's side, firing his gun non-stop at the huge sized woman. It was truly scary when the bullets entered the flesh, and had her start bleeding but they did nothing to get her away from the little princess.

Did she not feel the pain?!

Reloading his gun, he aimed at the woman's heart with all his bullets and she finally moved.

"You are a pest!" The woman roared in anger, grabbed the broken pillar and swung it at Kang Xunsu.

Completely not expecting such a dangerous move, he was sent flying to the wall. But his actions freed Wong Xue Guo, who quickly took that opportunity to crawl away with an aching waist. She had managed to get on her feet, her eyes on the exit, but the familiar broken pillar sailed past her and blocked her path, crash landing and shaking the ground.

She could still climb over the pillar, but her internal injury would slow her down. That woman would have reached her before she could cross it.

Putting her back towards the pillar that blocked her exit, she was finally able to pull out her sword and fight with some advantage just as the woman charged forward with her fists.

"Lady, you need an immediate diet if you don't want to accidentally kill your boyfriend," Wong Xue Guo mocked wheezily. The woman's silence to her taunting was unclear if it was because she was not bothered by it, yet she was persistent in beating Wong Xue Guo to dead.

Meeting the pair of eyes that were swimming in hatred, Wong Xue Guo could not contain her angered curiosity. "Are you that loyal to Nanse? To be hell-bent on killing anyone that he told you to, and would even hate them as if you had a personal grudge towards them?"

There was no reason for the woman to feel that way to her, even if she was 'brainwashed' by Nanse to kill humans.

"Nanse is nothing but a pawn. I hate you because you killed her."

Wong Xue Guo watched in fascination and terror when the overweight woman's body mass started to shrink down like a deflated balloon. Not only that, her face morphed into a completely different face, and her height had also reduced.

"Do you remember this face?" The woman caressed her cheek with a sense of obsession.

"No, I don't know her...? Hold on a minute. Perhaps... that pink clothed lady?" Although that encounter was only one time, and only for a short moment, the experience was rather unpleasant for her to easily forget that killer's face. Not to mention, that pink butterfly lady was also Chen Yibo's first kill.

Could this person, with the ability to change her appearance, be in cahoots with the mastermind behind the zombie manifestation?

"Pink clothed lady... Yes, she likes that colour a lot." The woman's expression crumbled. Her eyes were popping out from her shrunken cheeks, and being stared at by the insanity clouded eyes was quite scary. "Wong Xue Guo. You should have died like you are supposed to."

"It is only natural that humans will try to defy their fate. Just like when someone tries to kill you, you will do your best to protect your life," Wong Xue Guo said dryly, and her comeback was not appreciated.

There was no time to feel surprised, as Wong Xue Guo need to use every ounce of concentration she had to keep up with that woman's sudden insane speed. It was even more mind-blowing when that woman dared to meet her sharp blade with her bare fists. The impact of her punches had her sword shake until it affected her grip.

Wong Xue Guo continue to parry the woman's punches with her sword until the blade suddenly broke into two. She eying her broken sword with a broken expression as dawning horror rose in her.

Holy shit! What type of skin do you have?!

With only half of the blade remaining, Wong Xue Guo changed the way of holding and used it to do stabbing attacks instead. To her stomach-churning terror, the woman's skin was quickly being peeled off from fending her blade, until the whites of her bone were revealed. Then, the woman was only using her bone to block her broken blade.

Such injuries would send even the bravest man screaming and fainting away, but this woman does not even produce any tears, much less show a pained reaction!

Wong Xue Guo's broken blade became increasingly shorter the more it clashed with the woman's strangely durable bones without any sign of cracking. Keeping a safe distance between them, she tossed away her broken sword and pulled out a short knife.

"Other than hiding your flawed true appearance by copying other people's appearance, do you also have super strength? High defence bone armour that did nothing to protect your flesh? Do you not care about your flesh because you always use other people's appearance?"

The woman ignored her taunts and charged again with a frenzied gaze for murder. At the same time, Kang Xunsu finally succeeds in peeling himself from the cracked wall and continues shooting in the direction of the woman's heart again. With Kang Xunsu's help, Wong Xue Guo wrestled with the woman as she tried to grab an opportunity to stab her heart.

Without her sword to keep the enemy at a distance, Wong Xue Guo suffered plenty of heavy punches which she failed to dodge even half of it. Her body was feeling half-broken from the fight already. The woman's current body mass does not hinder much of the bullets, but unlike the original owner of that appearance that died from Chen Yibo's bullets, she strategically used her bones to block the bullets from hitting her vital points.

Wong Xue Guo's attention was interrupted when her phone inside her pocket started vibrating. Reacted with a tiny jerk, she quickly ignored it and continued fighting. But when it vibrated for a long time, which told her it was an incoming call, her old habit made her mind itch to grab her phone to check who was calling. Thinking that it must be her grandmother calling her again, she was barely concentrating on the danger and made a rookie 101 mistake that was enough to cost her greatly.

No wonder people say cell phones would kill you, one way or another.

During her distraction, the woman grabbed one of the thinner wooden beams that had fallen from the burning ceiling. Wong Xue Guo failed to react in time and allowed the woman to pierce her stomach.

The sudden stab had Wong Xue Guo take a deep, shocked breath that further agitate the pain. Her mind was strangely alert as she quickly dropped her knife to grab onto the wooden beam to prevent the woman from stabbing it deeper. It fucking hurt and the previous wrestling had already forced her to spend a lot of strength.

If this continues, Wong Xue Guo would really die once she used up all her strength.

"Xue Guo!" Kang Xunsu continued to shoot as he ran closer to her, doing his best to interrupt the strong woman while protecting himself from the church members.

Ignoring the bullets hitting her, the woman grinned widely with a manic gaze as the wood slowly pierced deeper into Wong Xue Guo's stomach. As if the goal was now within her reach, she no longer cared for her safety and only yearned to accomplish her revenge. "See you in Hell-"

The woman's words were abruptly cut off, her head snapped to a side after a bullet pierced past her temple. The bullet spun like a small tornado, digging the bullet hole bigger. Whoever shot her deemed that it was not enough and shot a few more times until she finally fell to the ground with a heavy thud.

"Haah!" Wong Xue Guo barely stopped in time when the tug of war abruptly stopped, and the wooden beam was pulled out a bit, triggering more blood outflow.

With a shaky breath, she let out a shaky breath, she stared at the wood dizzily, not knowing whether to pull it out or leave it be. The increasing pain and sudden chill had her start trembling and the thick smoke from the fire made it hard to breathe.

"Xue Guo!" Kang Xunsu quickly grabbed her arm when her legs folded over.

If he had not switched to the new, stronger bullets he has secretly gotten from the black market, the situation would be even worse. It was good that the woman no longer hold up her defence because he had used up all the special bullets.

Seeing Kang Xunsu, Wong Xue Guo suddenly has a humorous thought. Instead of Kang Xunsu getting his karma for cursing other people's nuts, she got her own karma for scolding the characters in the movies for being an idiot for getting distracted over something unimportant.

"Shit! Hang on, princess!" Kang Xunsu tried to get her to stay awake, even smacking her cheek none too gently. At the same time, he was careful not to touch the sharp wooden beam still pierced into her stomach as he lifted her into his arms.

"Xunsu! Get away!" L.L. yelled when the roof finally caved down and most of it was falling right onto Kang Xunsu and Wong Xue Guo's position.
