Doomsday Wonderland - Chapter 243

Chapter 243: What's With Those Numbers

"Run!" When Lin Sanjiu wrote that word, Rena had also thought of the same thing . Among the three of them, two of them were badly wounded, and so the only one who had some strength to fight was Rena . However, she had already used up all her Ripple Spheres, which were supposed to be her trump card .

As the girl was a Growth-type, her combat ability wasn't very strong to begin with . Right now, she had to take care of her brother and Lin Sanjiu . Furthermore, she didn't know what was the number on her body . The probability of her winning a fight with Zhu Mingchun, who was in perfect combat condition, was too low . Rena made her mind up, she tightened her grip on her brother's arms and ran without even looking back .

"Do you all think that you can run away from me?" A wild laughter rang out behind Rena . "You're too naive . Since fate had intended for you guys to get rid of Derik and Hannie, it means that I am destined to be the big winner here!"

Zhu Mingchun was obviously so pleased with the turn of events that he didn't think too much . As he ran after them, he laughed happily . His loud laughter scared Rena so much that she ran like a lamb that was chased by a hound .  

Even though Rena wasn't slow, she was carrying a person on her shoulders and she wasn't wearing any shoes . She had used all the strength she could muster to run, but the distance between them and Zhu Mingchun gradually shrunk .

Rena knew that if she continued running, he would catch up with them eventually . Her anxiety drove her out of her wits . Just as she hesitated over whether she should just stop and fight to the death with that man, the skull on her shoulder suddenly rose . The skull turned and flew in the opposite direction .

"She's almost half dead, does she still want to fight?" Worried, Rena stopped before she could even consider her options . She placed her brother on the ground and turned to run toward Lin Sanjiu .

Lin Sanjiu heard a sound behind her . When she turned to look, she was furious . She thought that her plan should be easily understood when she turned back . She wanted to give the siblings more time to escape . With her higher consciousness form, she could always fly up into the sky if she couldn't hold that man back . Presumably, Zhu Mingchun probably didn't have any sort of Special Item to chase after her .

However, she didn't expect that Rena would foolishly turn back for her just because she didn't spell out the entire plan . It was such a wasted opportunity . She really hated that she didn't have a mouth right now!

"That's right . " Zhu Mingchun lowered his face creepily, a cold glint flashed across his eyes . Clearly, he was different from his companion, Hannie . He didn't like to play any cat and mouse games . He bent slightly and rushed over without saying a word .

Zhu Mingchun was a physical combatant . His abilities were all skewed for physical combat . Before he got close, Lin Sanjiu already noticed his arms turning silver at a very fast speed . Under the dark sky, they seemed to have a metallic sheen .

Before Zhu Mingchun's punch reached Rena, it had already created a draft of air . If Rena was hit by that punch, she would definitely be badly hurt . Lin Sanjiu gathered the little amount of higher consciousness she had and swooshed up to his face, taking advantage of her size . Meanwhile, Rena had already taken out her fly-whisk . She stooped down and swiped Zhu Mingchun's legs .

Zhu Mingchun wasn't flustered by the two simultaneous attacks . He dodged the fly-whisk skillfully and threw an upper-hook with his steel-like fist at Lin Sanjiu . Considering the strength of her current higher consciousness, Lin Sanjiu did not dare to counter the attack with force . When she condensed her higher consciousness, she was tangible . She released her higher consciousness with a 'bang' in the air . Zhu Mingchun's fist passed through Lin Sanjiu's smoke-like form . Before he could react, he suddenly jumped backward . Rena had aimed another attack at him .

After they exchanged a few blows, they created some distance between them . Lin Sanjiu and Rena looked at each other . They couldn't help feeling worried . Zhu Mingchun had not brought out his weapon . After he fought bare fist with the both of them, they knew that they couldn't deal with him . If he were to use any sort of Special Item, the situation would become worse .

"Rena had already wasted the chance to run away . Under such circumstances, we just have to fight . " Just as this thought surfaced in Lin Sanjiu's mind . She saw Zhu Mingchun pulling out a war banner with his left hand .

The dark red war banner unfolded in the air . It started waving noisily in the air, even though there wasn't any victory . Zhu Mingchun chuckled and all his bones started making crackling sounds . His body grew by about ten feet, and within a short time he was huge, almost like a prehistoric creature .  He suddenly had a very threatening aura .

"Oh no!" Rena couldn't help muttering .

Zhu Mingchun rolled his eyes and looked down at the girl from high above . He let out a vicious roar . His mammoth-like body moved and he smashed his huge left fist down on Rena, using half his body weight . . .

"You can die once first!" Zhu Mingchun's voice echoed in the dark . It was so loud that the rubble from the collapsed building vibrated .

Rena couldn't help letting out a sharp cry . Zhu Mingchun's fist was almost the size of half her body . Her leg was injured so she couldn't dodge as fast as she usually could . As the huge fist, almost the size of a hill, loomed over her, casting its shadow, Lin Sanjiu screamed involuntarily in her heart and tried her best to rush forward—

Just then, a piece of yellowish white shadow swept past her . "Smack!" Just as Zhu Mingchun's fist was about to reach Rena, that thing hit the man's fist .

"Huh? " Lin Sanjiu watched in a daze as that shadow disappeared into the air . Zhu Mingchun's fist, which was clearly going to hit its target, suddenly hit the ground, missing Rena as if he had swerved his arm .

"Brother! You're awake!" The teenage girl who had a close shave with death rolled and crawled away . She looked up and yelled delightedly, "You used your almanac?"

Reno lay with his chest on the ground . Before the blood on the side of his mouth had dried, he had vomited another mouthful of blood . His face was so white that it was almost comparable to a duoluozhong . He took a few breaths before he finally replied, "Yes…"

"From the looks of it, his injuries were far worse than organ trauma . . . " Lin Sanjiu was worried .

Then, she heard Reno speaking again, "Energies for the day make it suitable for relocation, suitable for festival feasts… unsuitable . . . unsuitable for fighting…"

There wasn't another almanac page more suitable than this!

Even though Reno's voice was very soft, Zhu Mingchun heard everything clearly . At first, he tried attacking them a few times, as if he refused to believe in this heresy . Yet, he realized that each time he tried to attack the two people in front of him, he would miss no matter what . On the other hand, when they attacked him, his body felt heavy and clumsy . Within less than a minute, he had been hit quite a few times by Rena's fly-whisk . The muscles in his legs cramped up like a fried dough stick . He knew that he couldn't get anything from this even if he continued fighting .

Seeing that the situation had turned against him, Zhu Mingchun was quick to react . He grabbed his war banner and started to run . His body shrunk back to its original size as he sprinted away . Noticing that Rena was intending to check her brother's condition, Lin Sanjiu held her back and quickly wrote two words, "Catch him!"

Rena suddenly realized her mistake . She hit her head and followed the smoke-like skull . After a few leaps, she managed to hit the back of Zhu Mingchun's leg with her fly-whisk heavily . As long as Zhu Mingchun engaged in a fight, his movements would slow down significantly . His speed dropped to that of a normal person and he fell down from the impact of the fly-whisk attack without even much of a struggle .

"Tell us! What do those numbers mean!" Rena shouted as she stepped on his twisted left leg . He screamed in pain .
