Lord of End of World

Chapter 20



The two walked straight to the school gate and killed several zombies on the way. Gong Lixin was killing zombies with a single kick. The zombies who were kicked by him didn't die but every bone except their skull were broken, because of this the zombies became useless heaps on the ground, licking their lips but was unable do anything. It was worse than death.

Gong Lixin was clearing their path to the school gate with his strength, making Wang Tao reassured as he followed him while holding an axe, slashing at the zombies that slipped the net with a greeting to their heads.

'I'm not killing anybody; they are just a bunch of dead meat!' He repeated Gong Lixin's words in his heart like a mantra, and his slashes became fiercer and much more skilled.

By the time the two youths arrived at the school gate, Wang Tao was completely covered with blood from head to toe. When he stood next to Gong Lixin, he felt extremely embarrassed since the other boy was completely clean.

"Where are we going?" Wang Tao whispered. They killed the guard who had become a zombie and hid in the small guard room, deciding their next move in safety.

"I want to go home. My father will send someone to pick me up." Gong Lixin's voice was flat but his expression was extremely firm.

Wang Tao looked stunned, and he dully said, "I also want to go home, but my home is in the city center. It is safe to assume that the place has long become a sea of corpses. Whether my parents are alive or not, that is unknown."

Entering the sparsely populated suburbs were one thing but the city center contained 90% of this province's population. What was going on there, Wang Tao did not dare to imagine.

"Then you will come home with me. My father will send troops to the city to rescue the people. You will go with the troops when they arrive. With your strength, you can't get out of the city center let alone bring two elderly people with you." Gong Lixin told him the harsh truth and patted Wang Tao's shoulder consolingly.

When he was a baby, he was taken away from his parents by Xiao Lin. He lived for 16 years without any parental love. Gong Lixin was able to understand Wang Tao's strong attachment to his parents even though he never had parents himself.

"En, thank you." Wang Tao nodded as he wiped away the tears in his eyes, grateful to Gong Lixin giving him a chance to find his parents. Gong Lixin might look cold and distant, but in fact he was an extremely simple and kind boy. He was a person who was very easy to get along with. Wang Tao was very grateful that he was allowed to follow Gong Lixin.

The two looked out through the security window. From time to time, there were cars passing by the school gate accompanied by screams, sobs and wails. The zombies stalked behind these vehicles, their thin claws waving as they followed behind the vehicles slowly. The scene was horrifying.

"How are we going to go out? There are too many zombies, you can't kill them all." Wang Tao gulped as he stared through the window. Then he looked at Gong Lixin who looked at him. "Do you have a car?"

"No." Gong Lixin answered immediately as he watched the chaos on the street.

Even without transportation, with his footwork, it would be easy for him to leave. But unfortunately, he had been confined to the palace since he was a child. There was no concept of North, South, West or East in his mind. He was a directionally challenged person.

The buildings here were tall, towering over their heads. Nearly all of the buildings looked the same. There were no hints in which direction they had to go. If he went out and tried to find his way back home, then it would be certain that he would never make it back home.

In short, Gong Lixin was a road idiot, a complete road idiot. [1]

The more he thought about, the more his eyebrows scrunched up. Gong Lixin continuously glanced at Wang Tao, thinking about using him as a guide home.

Wang Tao didn't pay attention to the look in Gong Lixin's eyes. He was watching a red Ferrari sports car drive through the campus, his frustrated expression changed excitedly.

"We can steal someone else's ride. You wait here, I will go stop the car." As his words fell from his mouth, Wang Tao rushed out of the guard room. He stood at the school gate and frantically began waving his hands to attract the driver's attention.

The person in the Ferrari didn't expect someone to rush to the middle of the road as he drove as full speed. The tire squealed as it rubbed against the asphalt in order to avoid the person standing in the middle of the road, but the car's speed never slowed down as he had no intention of stopping.

"Wait a minute. This is the son of the head of Gong family. Take him with you to ensure that the army will bring you to safety." Wang Tao was courageous, so he immediately yelled at the fleeing Ferrari.

But the other party didn't care and disappeared round the corner of the street. Wang Tao looked depressed, his shoulders sagging. Gong Lixin patted his wide back in comfort, his expression still light. Even if there was no car, taking the other with him wasn't difficult for him.

"Let's go. I have a way to get us back home." Gong Lixin said.

Wang Tao looked at him. "Alright." With no doubts in his mind, Wang Tao instantly believed Gong Lixin's words. His shoulders slowly rose, the sorrow and frustration on his face gradually disappeared as the knots in his heart untangled.

The two were about to move when the roar of an engine coming from the corner of the street was heard. The red Ferrari appeared and quickly approached the two. The window opened and a cold male voice rang out. "You are the son of Gong Yuanhang?"

Gong Lixin and Wang Tao leaned over to look inside the car.

There were three people sitting in the car, all of them male. One person was seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in a luxurious fashion. He looked handsome but had an arrogant look in his eyes which screamed rich young master at first glance. The other two were twenty-eight or twenty-nine, both tall and strong and wore a black suit. One of the two drove while the other guarded their young master by sitting in the back row. With one look, it was obvious that the two men were the young master's bodyguards.

It was the bodyguard driving at the front who spoke. He had a handsome, chiseled face with sharp angles. A deep scar starting from his left forehead barely avoided his left eye made his chilly face look even more ruthless. A pair of sharp eyebrows wrinkled into a frown and his eyes were dark and deep, making people dare not to look straight at him.

Even if the man tried to restrain himself, his body would still naturally ooze a threatening atmosphere. Wang Tao was stunned by the man's imposing figure, hurriedly avoiding meeting the man's eyes.

Even Xiao Lin, who was more ruthless and crueler than the devil, was unable to make Gong Lixin feel scared. This person naturally did not affect him. He stepped forward and politely said, "My father is Gong Yuanhang. Can you give us a ride?"

"Quickly get in the car." He had once seen Gong Lixin standing next to Gong Yuanhang. The man quickly looked at him to confirm that it was the right person, urged them to get in. [2]

"Thank you." The space in a sports car was limited. After three people sat in the back row, they can't squeeze out more space. While thanking him, Gong Lixin opened the front door and sat next to the man. He turned his head to smile at the man.

Although Gong Lixin's smile was shallow, the gratitude contained in it was sincere. Every move of his was courteous and polite, no panic or turmoil could be seen in the boy's posture or face. The young master at the back shivered when he saw Gong Lixin unfazed by the man's imposing aura. Compared to sitting at the front, the tight back row was heaven.

He was worthy of being the child of a military family. The man's face was a little relieved, but his brows wrinkled again when he saw Gong Lixin's white skin and thin body. From the rear-view mirror, he saw Wang Tao's dark skin and strong body, his axe and clothes covered with thick blood. He obviously killed a lot of zombies which made him slightly relieved. Three people to protect two young masters was barely enough.

Thinking this in his heart, the man opened his mouth again, his voice low and thick. "Where are you going?"

"Going home. My dad will send someone to pick me up at home." Gong Lixin looked straight at the man and answered seriously.

Back to the military compound? The man's mind was running at high speed. Province A was a province with a large army and an equally large collection of firearms. The military academy was also on the outskirts of the city. It was not far from A city. It covered a wide area, few people were there and it had very strong defenses. It was a relatively safe place.

In addition, there was a special passage in the military compound which would directly take them to the battalion garrison, which was specially used to transport armored vehicles and tanks. If the army wants to send troops to the suburbs for a rescue operation, it would definitely be coming from that road and the Gong family will definitely be able to rescue many people at once. Gong Yuanhang was getting old, he would not leave his son and successor alone.

Go to Gong family! The man glanced at Gong Lixin after immediately making his decision. He said, "We will send you to your home safely. At that time, we hope that the head of the Gong family would send us back to Kyoto."

"I don't know, you'll have to ask my dad when you meet him." Gong Lixin turned his head and explained it seriously. He didn't think he had the power or freedom to promise such things just for the opportunity to go home.

The man heard this and gazed deeply at the calm young boy who had gained some of his goodwill. His tone of speech became less severe, the coldness in his tone lightened slightly.. "Alright, I'll talk to him myself."

"Gong Yuanhang wouldn't dare not to send us! Do you know who my father is? Have you heard of Lu Zhenxuan? The godfather of the C state. Even the Song family must give my father some face!" The young man sitting in the back row shouted impetuously after hearing what the two people in the front were saying. His attitude suggested that he was very mad.

"Lu Yun, if you want to see your father again, then you better shut your mouth!" The man did not turn around when he barked out his warning, but the threat in his tone was difficult to hide. During apocalypse, no matter how powerful the Lu family used to be, it was far less stronger than Gong Yuanhang who owned an army. If Lu Yun annoyed Gong Yuanhang's son, they would lose their bargaining chip.

He was a mercenary with blood on his hands. If he did not owe Lu Zhenxuan his life, he would have never considered being this arrogant Lu Yun's bodyguard. If it was not because it was Lu Yun's holiday and he was out to pick up a girl at school, they would have already safely returned to Kyoto by now and not be stuck in the middle of danger.

Thinking up to here, the man's expression got colder, his lips pursing into a thin line. His face revealed the anxiety he felt in his heart.

"Lu Zhenxuan, I never heard that name before. Is this related to letting my father send you home?" Gong Lixin turned his head towards the back row and asked with a puzzled expression.

"You…" Lu Yun pointed to Gong Lixin, speechless. The bodyguard next to him and Wang Tao both lowered theirs head and smiled.

The man driving the car turned his head and carefully looked at the teenager's expression. He found the youth's confused expression was not fake. Obviously, he didn't understand that Lu Yun was "threatening" him. It was really rare to have such a simple and innocent child in this world. The man's anxiety calmed down and the thin line his lips had formed was gone.
