Chapter 23

The arrangement for Gu Ning is on the third floor of the girls’ dormitory, 308 and 309, two neighbouring rooms.

It could be seen that Brother San still had some influence in the colony.

Gu Ning didn’t notice that the Xiao YunYun and a few others weren’t arranged to be here.

The blankets and sheets in the dormitory, including the bamboo mats, had all been “ransacked” and Huang MengYao had already taken out the clothes Gu Ning had stuffed in her backpack and place them on the bed.
Father Gu and Mother Gu were both lying in the bed unconscious.
Their faces were yellowish and sickly, and Gu Ning’s heart was aching, so she hurriedly invited Doctor Gao in to check on Father Gu’s injuries.

“There are slight signs of dehydration.
And the wound is very badly suppurated and must be cleaned and operated on as soon as possible or the infection may become cancerous in severity.” Doctor Gao frowned as she came out after examining Father Gu’s wound and said to Gu Ning: “Although I can do this surgery, but I don’t have the tools or medicine in my hand right now.”

When Gu Ning heard her saying that she could do the surgery, her heart was slightly assured, and then she replied: “Well then, tell me what and which tools and medicines you’ll need.
Make a list and give it to me and I’ll think of a way.”

Doctor Gao took out a pen and a small notebook from the medicine box and while making a list in the notebook, she said to Gu Ning who was standing beside her: “The nearest one to here is the Lishui Community Hospital, where you should be able to find everything you’ll need for the operation.
If you can, you’d better bring everything with you, and don’t miss out on the medicine from the pharmacy.”
Gu Ning gave a cursory scan of what was on the sheet, then folded it up and carefully kept it in her pocket and replied to Doctor Gao: “Alright.”

When Doctor Gao heard that this Gu Ning was Brother San’s niece, she didn’t care about how she was going to get to Lishui Community Hospital.
She only said: “When you have the things ready, get someone to inform me.
Alright, then I’ll leave first.”

“Okay, thank you Doctor Gao.” Gu Ning replied.

“Just call me Gao Yue will do.” Doctor Gao gave her a nod before she carried the medicine box down the stairs.

“Why don’t we get ready to leave for Lishui Hospital now.” Cheng Ming said to Gu Ning after he had sent Gao Yue off.

Zhang Yang volunteered on the side: “I know the way, I can lead the way!”

Gu Ning replied: “There is no need to rush, I have to go out for a while.
You guys don’t wander too far off, the food is in the backpack, so you can get it yourselves.
If my parent wake up, tell them not to worry and help me take care of them.”

“You don’t have to worry about that.
But where are you going alone now when it’s so chaotic out there? Why not let Cheng Ming accompany you?” Jia DaoZhang suggested.

“No need.
I’m just going to walk around inside the school and poke around for a bit.
I’ll be back in about two hours or so.”

Since Gu Ning had already said so, Cheng Ming couldn’t argue and could only reluctantly agreed.

Without further delay, Gu Ning left her gun behind, then carried her knife and headed out.

Jia DaoZhang stood on the balcony of the corridor and watched Gu Ning’s back as she walked further and further away.
His long, thin eyes narrowed slightly when he suddenly remembered the last divination he had made for himself before the apocalypse started.
The divination showed a great evil descending on the world, a great chaos, but in the midst of this great evil, there was a faint ray of life that was intermittent yet continuous.

His fortune telling was always inaccurate and he didn’t believe it, who knew that the apocalypse really break out soon afterwards.

Only then did he realized that his divination had really came true without failed!

However, if the great evil had descended, and the world is in chaos, then where is the silver lining?

As Jia DaoZhang looked at Gu Ning’s back view, a sudden ray of light seemed to lighten up his thoughts.

Gu Ning carried her knife and quickly walked through the dormitory building, ready to find a secluded place where she could enter the space without being noticed.

The bright sun hung directly above the sky, but not much of heat could be felt.
Lifting her hand to look at the time, it was already twelve noon.

Gu Ning quickly calculated the current time of the other world in her mind, and before she could do so, her footsteps jerked and she looked warily as in front of her, a group of people were walking aggressively towards her.
Seemingly sensing that the group of people was up to no good, all the passer-by on both sides of the road fled the place of iniquity at a fast pace.

Those who were lazing in the sun on the balconies of the school buildings on both side were now poking out their heads from the windows and looking curiously in this direction.

After the post-apocalyptic world, all electronic technology and entertainment was no longer available and the boredom of life was in desperate need of excitement.  Naturally, they were happy to see this kind of conflict.

A young man in black t-shirt was leading the group and shouted at Gu Ning as he walked toward her: “You’re the woman who killed Wang Ye?!”

As soon as Gu Ning saw the various “weapons” they were holding, she felt ominous, and before she could reply.

The young man shouted at her with a grimace: “Chop her to death!”

With this shout, the ten or so youngsters behind him all flashed their weapons in unison! Then they all shouted and charged at Gu Ning!

This was a road less than five meters wide, with the teachers’ building on one side and the boys’ dormitory on the other.

Upon hearing those words, chop her to death! Gu Ning knew that this group was coming for her life, and almost without even thinking about it, she knew instantly who had sent this group.

Gu Ning was not a hot-blooded teenager, on the contrary, she was very sensible and calm in this situation.
Her first reaction was to turn around and run!

However, she had just turned around and ran a couple of steps before she stopped in her tracks.
Five or six youngsters also came out of the cafeteria door which she had just walked through, ganging up behind her, each with a weapon on their hands, and all of them were coming for her.

Without any routes for retreating, Gu Ning stopped running away.
The wound on her palm was still faintly painful, but she couldn’t care less about that at this moment, so she switched the knife she was holding in her left hand to her right.
Then without hesitation, she rushed towards them!

For almost an instant, the compelling aura that emanated from Gu Ning’s body almost caused an unspeakable pressure being felt by those people who were charging straight towards her.
Nevertheless, they quickly snickered in their minds, there were more than ten of them in total, and couldn’t even deal with such a girl?

However, they soon had to pay the price for thinking so lightly of their opponents.

When the first man who had a short encounter with Gu Ning was chopped off an arm and fell to the ground, letting out a pig-like howl! Including the crowd of onlookers on both floors, and those that were waiting to see a one-sided abuse, frozen in their tracks.
The sound of someone drawing in a cold breath could be heard faintly.

Gu Ning didn’t freeze, the expression on her face was as calm as if she had just killed a zombie.

Of course it was a one-sided abuse, but the roles of abusing and being abused were swapped.

Gu Ning raised her knife to block an axe swinging towards her face! And then kicked hard towards the man behind her who was lunging towards her back! The kick didn’t seem strong to the onlookers, and even the man who lunged at Gu Ning didn’t take the kick seriously.
Yet, as the kick hit his abdomen, a sharp pain came through! His whole body went flying! He was still a bit confused as to what had happened until he was knocked heavily into the wall of the school building.

Gu Ning grabbed the axe by the handle and twisted it in the opposite direction! The teenager holding the other end of the handle only felt a huge force shaken him! His hand on the handle, spun counter-clockwise and with a painful scream, the axe came loose! Before he could react further! There was a sharp pain in his shoulder! There was a warm liquid splashed on his face and when he looked sideways in bewilderment, he saw his axe was cutting into his shoulder and the white bones underneath it were faintly visible! He shrieked, rolled his eyes and collapsed to the floor and fainted!

In the blink of an eye! Four had fallen on the ground! Three fell to the ground badly wounded, with broken arms and legs, and one with his entire chest penetrated by the pointed spear which he had brought with him.

A thin, cold sweat appeared on the forehead of the black t-shirt teen leader! Half frightened, half in pain, he had just rushed toward Gu Ning but she kicked him over! It took a personal experience to realize the strength of that small, unimpressive looking girl was so terrifying! The moment he was kicked, he almost hallucinated that he had been knocked off his feet by a powerful rhinoceros with the horn on its head! Right now, leaning against the wall, he couldn’t even stand up, and when he moved his abdomen, there was a sharp pain which indicated a few broken bones.

He had brought so many people with him to kill her companions as well, but who knew that they would be so “lucky”! They actually ran into Gu Ning who was alone! Mr Wang promised him that if they killed Gu Ning, then he would give them enough supplies to feed their group for half a month! It was the post-apocalyptic world now, and killing a person was just a trivial matter to him.
Who cares about men, women and children now?

However, this time, he didn’t expect to meet such a goddess of death! He looked at the blonde girl who was still wielding her long knife in the crowd, and a pang of fear rose from the bottom of his heart!

Yet Gu Ning was not as relaxed as the onlookers thought she would be.
The gauze wrapped around her palm greatly affected her grip on the knife, and several times, she felt like it was going to fly out of her hand! Moreover, she was losing her strength greatly! So she didn’t hold back at all with every move since those men really wanted her dead! Every single bow was aimed at her vitals!
Her knife plunged viciously into the chest of a man who did not look old enough and roughly around eighteen or nineteen years old.
His eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at her, his mouth unable to make any sound due to pain, his eyes were full of fear, and despair and hatred as his right hand grabbed her arm in a deadly grip.
Yet Gu Ning only gave him a cold look before reaching out and pushed him towards his companion’s knife.

Those who wanted her life, she really has no mercy for them.

The moment the other man’s knife stabbed into the teenager’s body, the expression on his face appeared in a trance for that brief moment! Gu Ning grabbed the man’s wrist and then gave it a strong twist! She spun him around and pinned him to the ground, and Gu Ning’s knife slashed down towards his neck without hesitation!

There were warm bloods splashed onto Gu Ning’s face, but she did not wipe it off and only slowly straightened up and looked coldly at the few men left standing three meters away from her with extremely frightened expression as they no longer had any courage left to rush towards her.

Then, she raised her head, her cold gaze skimmed over the faces of onlookers who were standing at the window and on the balcony with very interesting expression on their face, one by one.
In the end, Gu Ning calmly wiped the blood off the knife on the man who had lost an arm, and stepped over the pool of blood all over the ground towards her set direction.

Throughout the whole process, apart from the wimping sounds made by the few men lying on the ground in pain, not a single person in the whole area made a single sound.

“Boss Bai Lang!”

The door of the meeting room was suddenly pushed open and a man burst in.

The entire conference room was seated with half a dozen of people, all glancing over in unison.

Bai Lang was bored with the meeting, but at that moment he came to his senses and asked: “What happened?”

The man who barged in cautiously glanced at Wang JiZhong, who was sitting in the second seat on Bai Lang’s right, then he replied: “Just now more than ten people with weapons went to kill that woman.”

That woman, naturally refers to Gu Ning who caused trouble in front of the school today.

The white-shirted man sitting on Bai Lang’s right glanced at Wang JiZhong, who looked slightly smugly, and behind his gold-rimmed glasses was a flash of displeasure flickered in his eyes.

Brother San, however, jerked up from his seat: “What?!”

“Oh?” Bai Lang’s long, slanted eyes glanced at Wang JiZhong and Brother San who had just jerked to his feet, then said: “And? Is she dead yet?”

“No, no.” The man replied.

“No?” Bai Lang raised one eyebrow in surprise and said with some sarcasm: “She got away?”

“No, no.” The man shook his head, and a hint of fear couldn’t help but appeared in his eyes: “Thirteen people, three had dead, five are seriously injured, and five have run away.”

“What?!” This time it was Wang JiZhong’s turn to stand up in agitation, bracing his hands on the table and staring at the man who had reported the news incredulously.

Brother San, however, steadied himself and sneered at Wang JiZhong: “Mr Wang what are you agitated about? It’s not like they are your underlings.”

Wang JiZhong knew he had lost his temper and hurriedly sat down.

The man in white shirt, instead looked at Brother San and said: “Brother San, it seems that you really value this niece of yours and have actually sent someone to protect her specifically.”

Brother San was about to speak.

Only to be interrupted by the terrified voice of the man who reported the news: “No…No.” His mind recalled the scene, still somewhat distraught: “It was the woman alone… She did it all by herself.”

“What?!”
