Chapter 24 Yin Sang – The Door to Rebirth in the Apocalypse

Yin Sang

In the room, an extremely astonished voice suddenly came from Wang Jizhong’s mouth.

He stood up from his seat again, his face even uglier than before.

But soon, under the cold gazes of everyone in the room, he sat down again, his expression anxious and somewhat bewildered.

White Wolf turned his gaze back to the man who had brought the news. This time, there was a hint of seriousness in his slanted eyes: “You’re saying that the thirteen people were either dead, injured, or fled, all because of that little girl alone?”

The man’s voice trembled slightly: “Y-yes. I saw it with my own eyes…”

The man in the white shirt glanced at Third Brother, only to see that Third Brother’s face was also full of surprise. He said, “It seems Third Brother didn’t know his niece had such skills either.”

Third Brother suppressed the surprise on his face, but his heart was anything but calm. Gu Ning had hidden so many skills and tricks up her sleeve, and every time she acted, it was so… astonishing!

Thirteen people围攻, even he wouldn’t dare say he could retreat unscathed, let alone someone as young and seemingly… frail as her. He truly couldn’t imagine how Gu Ning’s slender frame could cause such a devastating battle.

“What’s so great about that?” A beautiful girl with a black ponytail, about twenty years old, who had been sitting silently to White Wolf’s left, suddenly sneered, her expression slightly disdainful: “If it were me, none of them would have escaped.”

Third Brother glanced at her but didn’t say anything. He had fought zombies with this girl before, and her skills were indeed formidable. If she had faced those thirteen people, it would have been as she said—none would have escaped, all would have died.

In that sense, she certainly had the right to say that Gu Ning’s performance wasn’t anything special.

The前提 was that they didn’t know that just three months ago, Gu Ning was an ordinary girl who had never even been in a fight.

White Wolf, however, looked thoughtful, recalling his brief meeting with Gu Ning in that office. At that time, she had clearly… as if a flash of inspiration had struck, a glint appeared in her slanted eyes. White Wolf narrowed his eyes, a hint of disbelief flickering in his pupils, but in an instant, he smiled.

The man in the white shirt was startled by the sudden smile on White Wolf’s lips. Having been with White Wolf for a long time, he naturally knew what some of White Wolf’s expressions and actions meant. And in this situation, it was even more obvious.

White Wolf swung his long legs off the conference table and stood up, asking, “Where is she now?”

“I don’t know,” the man shook his head. “I only saw her leave through the main gate, but I don’t know where she went.”

Third Brother also furrowed his brows. At this time, someone leaving the gathering place alone… Could she be planning to go out alone to find medicine?

“Could it be that she killed people and then ran away?!” Wang Jizhong said angrily.

Third Brother, however, suddenly slammed the table and stood up, looking at Wang Jizhong: “Mr. Wang, everyone knows who sent those people. We had already agreed to give her a chance. But you sent people to kill her privately, and since you’ve acted on your own, our agreement is now void.” Third Brother’s gaze swept around the conference room, then he said gravely, “I’ll say this here. Gu Ning is under my protection. From now on, if anyone dares to touch her, my gun won’t stand for it.”

This was a warning, and a blatant threat.

Mr. Wang’s face twitched a few times, but he didn’t say anything. Everyone knew that Third Brother had a group of people under him, all from the military and armed. Although Third Brother usually kept a low profile and hadn’t clashed with anyone, this sudden show of force truly intimidated everyone.

“The issue of the zombie dogs hasn’t been resolved, and we’re already fighting among ourselves,” the man in the white shirt pushed his glasses up his nose, trying to ease the tension in the room. “In the gathering place, I don’t want to see any more infighting. It’s been over three months since the apocalypse began. Haven’t you all figured out who our real enemy is?” He said with a heavy expression, “As Third Brother said, even animals are starting to turn into zombies. Our living conditions are getting worse. Instead of fighting among yourselves, why not go out and kill a few more zombies?”

No one in the conference room spoke again.

Gu Ning’s matter was just a small episode for them, while the enormous shadow of the apocalypse loomed over them.

On the other side.

After leaving the main gate, Gu Ning found a small roadside restaurant and ducked inside.

Then she returned to her space.

She casually turned the pointer on the wall to the other side and prepared to open the door.

However, as her hand touched the doorknob, she paused. She looked at a certain spot in the space, her expression extremely strange.

In a corner of the room, quietly piled up were the fluffy blankets and the contents of the wall cabinet that had vanished before her eyes in that three-story courtyard…

Gu Ning grabbed a piece of clothing, unsure how to describe her feelings. So, all the things she had “vanished” had been transferred here?

For a moment, Gu Ning’s mind went blank.

The shock in her heart was too great.

What did this mean?

It meant she was carrying a huge storage cabinet with her. And this cabinet was only accessible to her, invisible and untouchable to others.

She could store anything in here and take it out when needed.

Maybe even a car?

The faint pain in her hand brought her back from this微妙 emotion and restored her理智. This thing could be studied slowly, but Gu Dad’s injury couldn’t wait any longer.

Thinking this, she quickly ran to the door and opened it.

A flash of golden light, and she was back in her bedroom.

She glanced at the wall clock. It was 3:30 PM.

She swiftly took off her blood-stained clothes and changed into a new set.

The bandage on her hand was completely soaked with blood.

She sat cross-legged, unwrapping the bandage layer by layer. Her palm was a bloody mess, with flesh torn and翻卷. There were still some medicines she had left in the bedroom. Gu Ning cleaned the wound with alcohol, hissing in pain throughout the process, but she didn’t cry out or shed a tear. Gu Ning realized her tolerance for pain was quite impressive, and she felt a bittersweet sense of pride.

She hastily wrapped her hand with the bandage again, put on a glove, and stuffed the bloodied clothes, bandages, and the still-bloody knife into a plastic bag, which she then shoved under the bed. Standing in front of the mirror, she used a wet wipe to clean the blood off her face, making sure there was nothing amiss before opening the door and stepping out.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw her parents sitting on the living room sofa with their backs to her, watching TV.

They must have been afraid of disturbing her sleep, as the TV volume was turned down very low.

Bright light filtered through the curtains, creating a peaceful and stable atmosphere.

Gu Ning’s anxious heart calmed down a bit.

As if sensing something, Gu Mama turned around and saw Gu Ning standing there. She quickly stood up and said to Gu Ning, “You’re awake. The food is still warm. I’ll go get it for you.” With that, she headed into the kitchen.

Seeing Gu Ning awake, Gu Dad turned up the TV volume.

Gu Ning walked over and sat down beside Gu Dad.

On TV, a national martial arts competition was being broadcast.

Gu Siyuan was explaining the match to Gu Ning as they watched: “This is the finals. This girl is really厉害. Many boys can’t beat her, but she hits too hard. Many have been carried off the stage. But I think she’s definitely going to win this championship.”

Gu Siyuan pointed at the girl who had just appeared on the screen.

Gu Ning couldn’t help but focus on the martial arts competition on TV while eating.

The girl Gu Siyuan mentioned was wearing a black silk outfit, her figure slender, her black hair tied into a high ponytail. Her face was expressionless as she walked onto the stage, her movements crisp and clean. The camera gave her a close-up. She looked to be in her early twenties, her face素净 without makeup, yet strikingly beautiful.

Her appearance caused the audience to cheer loudly; she seemed very popular.

Her information appeared on the screen. A deep male voice narrated in an excited tone, introducing the contestant’s background and past glorious achievements.

Yin Sang, female, 21 years old, 168 cm tall.

This was her first time participating in the national martial arts competition, and she had fought her way through from 3,000 contestants to reach the finals. She was the only female contestant to make it to the finals this year, and she had done so without a single loss. What was even more astonishing was that none of her matches had lasted more than three minutes! Her exceptional skills made her the undisputed dark horse of this year’s national martial arts competition!

The camera lingered on her face for three seconds. She slightly raised the corners of her mouth, her willow-leaf eyebrows arching slightly as she looked into the camera, her gaze meeting Gu Ning’s through the TV screen. Even the smile at the corners of her eyes carried a sharp,锋芒毕露 light.

Her opponent was a 23-year-old man named Zhang Qiang, about 175 cm tall, with a very muscular build. His arms were taut with bulging muscles, forming a stark contrast to Yin Sang’s slender and delicate figure. It seemed like Yin Sang wouldn’t be able to withstand even one punch from him.

But it was clear that he was very wary of Yin Sang. When he拱手 to her, his expression was extremely serious.

This match was a close combat fight, without weapons.

As soon as the whistle blew.

Yin Sang made the first move! No fancy tricks! She closed the distance to Zhang Qiang with lightning speed, her right hand reaching straight for his throat!

Zhang Qiang, though nervous, didn’t panic. He completely ignored the hand reaching for his neck, instead grabbing Yin Sang’s left wrist with his right hand, pressing hard, and then twisting it in the opposite direction! A sharp pain shot through her wrist, but Yin Sang remained calm. Her willow-leaf eyebrows arched, and a fierce light flashed in the corners of her eyes. Her extended right hand quickly retracted, resting on Zhang Qiang’s arm that was holding her wrist. Then, using the force from Zhang Qiang’s arm, she spun her entire body into the air! Her slender figure twirled like a willow leaf in mid-air! Her movements were indescribably graceful, and as her feet touched the ground, she crouched low and swept her leg forcefully towards Zhang Qiang’s lower body!

Zhang Qiang, however, was unfazed! He simply raised his right leg to block!

Yin Sang’s leg collided directly with Zhang Qiang’s right leg! It felt like she had kicked a steel pillar!

Zhang Qiang smirked in得意. His leg strength was his pride, and Yin Sang had chosen to attack his lower body, clearly unaware of his past战绩!

Yin Sang’s eyes flashed. She used her leg to block Zhang Qiang’s incoming right kick, then her long right leg swung up, actually going over her head and kicking towards Zhang Qiang’s skull!

The entire venue gasped in shock at Yin Sang’s high-difficulty move!

Zhang Qiang couldn’t react in time! The kick landed squarely on his forehead! His head jerked back, and the strength in his hands involuntarily loosened! Yin Sang seized the moment to break free! Her arm bent, and she quickly closed the distance, her elbow slamming heavily into Zhang Qiang’s chest!

Zhang Qiang’s chest took the full force of the blow! His burly body staggered back several steps! Yin Sang didn’t miss this opportunity. She followed up, her long right leg extending again and delivering a powerful kick to the same spot on his chest that had just been struck by her elbow!

Zhang Qiang let out a muffled groan, his retreating steps faltering, and he fell to the ground with a thud!

The fight had been fierce and swift. Before anyone could fully react, it was already over.

Only Yin Sang remained standing on the stage, her demeanor relaxed, as if she had just entered the arena.

Her opponent lay on the ground, clutching his chest and moaning in pain.

Soon, people came to carry him away.

The screen began to replay the fight in slow motion.

“Thirty seconds! The actual fight lasted only thirty seconds! Yin Sang has once again broken her personal record!” The narrator’s voice was亢奋, and the现场 was filled with cheers.

Gu Ning watched Yin Sang’s潇洒背影 on the screen, still feeling a sense of awe.

She had always been confident in her own strength, but now she realized that she had been relying solely on her powerful strength and instincts in战斗, without any real combat skills. She could easily defeat zombies that had no combat skills or ability to dodge, and she could勉强战胜 those who only knew how to swing their knives wildly.

But now she realized that if she were to face this girl named Yin Sang, she would have almost no chance of winning. In fact, she might not even be able to defeat Zhang Qiang.

The ambush by that group of people today had also made Gu Ning realize that in the apocalypse, her enemies weren’t just the zombies outside, but also the humans around her. And sometimes, the humans were even harder to deal with than the zombies.

At this moment, as she watched Yin Sang’s背影, she suddenly made a decision.

She put down the half-eaten bowl of rice in her hand, stared at Yin Sang’s information on the TV screen, and said calmly, “I want to learn martial arts.”
