The Farmer Ger in the Apocalypse

Shen Qing was infamous in his village as a fierce ger who no one wanted to marry. After being “kicked out” of his home alongside his mother by his biased grandparents and a father who was desperate...

Chapter 101: The End of the World - Journey to Zizhou 18

The bald man's ability level is two levels higher than Song Kaiji's. After all, teleportation is something that all space ability users can perform after reaching level three. It's just that no space ability user has discovered this before - Song Kaiji used it for the first time in a critical moment, when he was upgrading from level two to level three. Maybe he was already able to do it when he was at level two.

Baldy was good friends with Zhuang Ye, and he had heard him say before that Song Kaiji was a space-capable person, and Song Kaiji's crystal core was originally "reserved" for him by Zhuang Ye. So since Song Kaiji could teleport, why couldn't he? He had no idea of ​​this before, but now that Song Kaiji had shown him an example, Baldy only took three minutes to comprehend it, and he was even more adept at using it than Song Kaiji.

He grinned, raised his knife and was about to chop at Song Kaiji's neck. It was unrealistic for him to kill all the people in the car, but as long as he chopped off Song Kaiji's head, it would be revenge for his brother Zhuang Ye, and secondly, he would definitely get Song Kaiji's crystal core!

Qu Weiwei, who was standing next to Song Kaiji, was concentrating on weaving the rubber net and had no time to deal with it. Song Kaiji was seriously injured and could not resist. At the critical moment, Zhang Sujuan suddenly jumped out from behind the seat and hit the bald man hard on the lower back.

The bald man staggered when he was hit unexpectedly, but time was running out, and he had no time to fight with Zhang Sujuan. The most urgent thing was to kill Song Kaiji first and then teleport away. Zhang Sujuan hugged his waist and couldn't get rid of him. Li Aiguo also came forward and hugged his legs. The bald man was furious and kicked Li Aiguo twice but couldn't get rid of him: "Damn, two damn old guys..."

However, before he could finish his words, the grenade under the opposite car finally exploded.

Even with the rubber net and ice shield of Qu Weiwei and Ge Bingbing, the impact of the grenade was still not small. The ice shield melted instantly, leaving only three-tenths of it. Ge Bingbing quickly solidified it again, but the thin layer of ice was shattered by shrapnel, and the air wave rolled towards their car with sparks. Qu Weiwei's palm was painful, and even the ground was shaken a few times by the explosion. The tires of the car they were in were already punctured, and they didn't overturn because they leaned on the abandoned vehicle next to them. At this moment, the car was directly overturned by the air wave and the vibration of the ground, and rolled several meters away.

When Song Kaiji got up again, the scene in front of him made him stare blankly: Zhang Sujuan and Li Aiguo were lying on the ground unconscious, their bodies covered in blood; the bald man was dead, with seven or eight bloody holes from his chest to his neck, almost in pieces; Shen Qing was kneeling beside his body, with blood all over his face and body, holding in his hand the half of the metal spike that was cut off from Song Kaiji's wound.

"Mom and Dad! Shen Qing!" Song Kaiji struggled to crawl over there, but Sun Cheng picked him up from behind and ran: "Get out of the car first, we are too close to the car opposite, if we are ignited by sparks and exploded, it will be over."

Qu Weiwei also wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and used vines to wrap up Song Kaiji's parents. She also untied the vines on Li Liang and Li Li and let them run on their own. Finally, she called out to Shen Qing who was still in a daze: "Don't be in a daze, hurry up!"

Shen Qing's chest rose and fell rapidly, and it took him a long time to calm down his breathing. The bald man in front of him stared at him blankly with his eyes wide open. He killed someone... He had killed wild boars, other prey, and zombies, but this was the first time Shen Qing had killed a living person.

The panic and tension of killing someone for the first time made Shen Qing feel dizzy.

Although Shen Qing was looking for a weapon when the bald man suddenly appeared, he was determined to kill him. He had a different personality from Zhang Sujuan and Li Aiguo. When some people faced danger, their first reaction was to run away, dodge, and sacrifice, but Shen Qing always wanted to resist. The worst thing he could do was to die together with the other party, and he would not let the bully have an easy life!

When the car was overturned by the air wave and vibration, he watched the knife in the bald man's hand fall on Li Aiguo and Zhang Sujuan. Anger and fear stimulated him to pounce like a cheetah, stabbing the bald man's neck and heart mechanically and tirelessly.

But when he really killed him, his heart tightened again afterwards.

Yu Le climbed out from under the back seat tremblingly and shook him vigorously: "Boss, boss... let's go!"

Shen Qing finally came back to his senses and felt his hands and feet were weak. He and Yu Le supported each other and ran out.

Fortunately, the zombies around them had already been cleaned up by the splashing supernatural powers when the two teams were fighting. The group ran two or three hundred meters and stopped only after they were sure that they would not be affected by the car explosion.

Song Kaiji sat slumped on the ground, his parents lying beside him, still half wrapped in vines. Zhang Sujuan and Li Aiguo were injured to varying degrees. Zhang Sujuan was stabbed twice on the back, and Li Aiguo was stabbed once on the shoulder and kicked several times in the chest. They had been starving and suffering in the mountains for a month, and their bodies were seriously damaged. Now they were unconscious and looked extremely miserable. Song Kaiji trembled and reached out his hand to feel for them. Fortunately, they were still breathing.

Seeing his parents like this, Song Kaiji felt so painful that his internal organs were burning, and he looked for Shen Qing in panic.

Seeing that Shen Qing was also covered in blood, he asked nervously, "How are you? Where are you injured?"

Shen Qing then realized it belatedly and touched the blood on his face: "I'm fine." Although the bald man looked strong, his superpowers were only space and teleportation. He was no match for Shen Qing in a hand-to-hand fight. "This is all the blood of that bald man... I killed him..." Shen Qing's eyes were distracted for a moment, and then they quickly focused and looked behind Song Kaiji: "How are your uncle and aunt?"

Song Kaiji wiped his face with his sleeve. He didn’t know whether it was blood, cold sweat, or tears. “…He was seriously injured…The situation is very bad. It’s all because of me…” He was heartbroken for his parents’ injuries, and also felt guilty: Zhang Sujuan and Li Aiguo were hiding under the car seat. They came out because of him. If they hadn’t slowed down the bald man to save him, how could they have been injured…

He was completely panicked and his speech was a little incoherent. Shen Qing quickly hugged him and wanted to pat his back to comfort him, but he was afraid of touching his wound, so he could only say softly: "Don't worry, you put a car out first, we will hurry back to Hongcheng Base and find a healing psychic, we will definitely be able to cure uncle and aunt!" He understood Song Kaiji's pain, but what's the point of being anxious at this juncture? Song Kaiji had to cheer up: "Don't you still have medicine in your space? Let's get in the car and bandage uncle and aunt. And your wound..."

Half of Song Kaiji's body was covered in blood, and he was holding on by just one breath. Only when Shen Qing lifted him up did he feel the pain.

Shen Qing held Song Kaiji's hand tightly, as if he wanted to pass on his strength to him in this way: "Uncle and aunt are both unconscious now, you must stay awake, they are all relying on you now."

"Yes, yes," Song Kaiji took a deep breath. The cold winter night air made his lungs shudder, and he gradually sobered up: "I must cheer up."

Growing up is so painful. Especially being forced to grow up in an instant like this, Zhang Sujuan and Li Aiguo, lying on the ground dying, silently forced him to grow up, to face and take on his responsibilities alone. He could no longer hide behind his parents and be a child, even if they were not around, he would always feel relaxed in his heart. He was 21 years old, and Shen Qing was two years younger than him, but so mature and strong... What qualifications did he have to avoid being an "adult"?

No one can help him with his growth, not even Shen Qing.

He sorted out his thoughts. There were two cars in the space, both of which were spacious and comfortable, as was the damaged one. One was an ordinary five-seater sedan, and the other was a seven-seater SUV. Song Kaiji took out both cars and placed Zhang Sujuan and Li Aiguo in the back seats of the two cars.

But the seats are a bit tight. The SUV can add one more seat, but it is still not enough. Yu Le nervously pulled Qu Weiwei's sleeve and whispered: "I can not sit on the seat, I can sit in the gap in front of the seat, just convenient to take care of Aunt Zhang, I can take care of Aunt Zhang, can you please not leave me..."

There were not many people in the car and she had little rapport with the others, so she was useless. The only person she could talk to, Zhang Sujuan, was also unconscious. Yu Le was really worried that she would be left behind.

Song Kaiji nodded: "Okay, then I'll leave my mother to you to take care of." He turned and walked towards Li Liang and Li Li, took out an empty backpack, threw a few coarse grain cakes produced by the base, two bags of instant noodles, and six bottles of water into it, and threw it in front of them: "You guys go, I promised my dad to let you go."

He should have dealt with these two people long ago. In fact, killing them would eliminate the trouble forever, but he promised his father to let them go and give them food. Thinking of Li Aiguo lying unconscious in the car, Song Kaiji felt a pain in his heart again. He didn't expect that this might be the last thing he promised his father, and he couldn't do it.

Li Li was stunned for a moment, her face changed several times, she hesitated for a moment between cursing and begging, and chose the latter: "Cousin, this is in the middle of nowhere, you left us here, aren't you leaving us to die? At least take us back to the base, I promise you I won't bother you again when we get there, I can also take care of Second Aunt on the way, my brother will take care of Second Uncle. Please let us get in the car, and let that woman stay, I am your niece, how can outsiders take care of me as attentively as I do!"

Yu Le was pointed at by Li Li, and she felt scared and wronged. Her eyes turned red but she didn't dare to cry, for fear of annoying others. However, Shen Qing patted her shoulder and comforted her.

He knew that Song Kaiji would not bring Li Liang and Li Li with him again.

Sure enough, Song Kaiji dropped his backpack and turned away: "I will kill you if you dare to follow me."

"You!" Li Li was angry and anxious. Now that Li Aiguo was also unconscious, there was no one to speak for them. She was really afraid that Song Kaiji would really leave her here! It was the middle of the night. As long as Song Kaiji and the others left, the zombies would soon surround them, and they didn't even have a sealed car to hide in!

"Why are you begging him? Do you want to be tied up like a pig or a dog?" Li Liang sneered and picked up his backpack first. He was tied up like a zongzi for so long, and even his mouth was blocked. If he didn't find the smell in the car disgusting, Song Kaiji would have made him defecate and urinate while tied up. He would have been resentful and had no good temper towards Li Li: "You licked them like a pug before, what did you get? Didn't your second uncle also not give you face? Doesn't he treat us as his sons and nephews?"

Hearing him mention Li Aiguo, Song Kaiji took out a gun from the space and shot at Li Liang's feet: "You say another word about my dad? Get out of here!"

Seeing that Song Kaiji was serious, Li Li didn't dare to pester him anymore. Li Liang turned around and left. She hesitated for a moment, looked at Song Kaiji holding a gun, bit her lip, and finally chased after Li Liang.

The remaining people can still squeeze in. In the end times, there are no traffic police anymore, and no one cares about overloading or irregular seating, so everyone squeezes in.

Before getting on the bus, Song Kaiji threw the bodies of Huang Mao, Yang Sen, and Zhuang Ye on the side of the road. Chen Jiaqian paused: "Don't you want it?" She hesitated for a moment, then said: "There is also the crystal core of the bald guy. He has the same ability as you, but his level is higher than yours. If you absorb his crystal core... the space ability is different from other abilities. Maybe you can also get the things in his space."

Her voice sounded like Satan's temptation, but Song Kaiji shook his head firmly: "It was fine just now when we were in a life-and-death situation, but now there is no crisis, so there is no need." He glanced at Chen Jiaqian again and warned: "This shortcut may be out of control once it is started."

Chen Jiaqian did not answer, but took a dagger and peeled open Zhuang Ye and Huang Mao's heads: "You don't want it, I want it."

Song Kaiji opened his mouth but said nothing in the end. He watched Chen Jiaqian dig out the crystal core in silence.

They had no intention of recruiting Chen Jiaqian into the team from the beginning. From the first day he met Chen Jiaqian, he knew that she and her husband were not the same as them. So he had no right to control what Chen Jiaqian did... When they returned to Hongcheng Base, maybe they would part ways and never see each other again.

But thinking of Shen Qing's secret, Song Kaiji still reminded her: "You are free to do what you want... But I hope you will never forget the oath you made."

Chen Jiaqian paused and smiled: "Of course. Why do you think I came here with you? You and Shen Qing have done me a favor, I remember, and I will repay you. I have my own principles, but my principles are not the same as yours."

"You find it hard to accept absorbing human crystal cores, but who are they? They even eat humans, so what's the difference between them and zombies!"

Song Kaiji was silent. He stood aside, watching Chen Jiaqian calmly dig out the crystal core, took out a wet towel to wipe it clean, and put it in his pocket: "Let's go."

Meanwhile, Li Liang also returned to the car and dug up the bald man's crystal core. Li Li was very nervous: "Brother, let's go. What if the car explodes? There's a fire next to it."

After all this experience, the relationship between the two siblings has become less intense. Li Liang said impatiently, "Then get out!" Before, when he was tied up like a dead dog by Song Kaiji, Li Li didn't take care of him much, and was only busy licking Song Kaiji. Now he gets annoyed when he sees Li Li.

Li Li felt wronged after being scolded. She wanted to leave, but the food Song Kaiji gave her was carried on Li Liang's back. She regretted not grabbing it first, so she had to force a smile and said, "Brother, this is for our safety. Why are you digging this person's crystal core? Oh, I see. Are you planning to go to a place where there are people and pretend to be a zombie crystal core and spend it?"

"Short-sighted." Li Liang sneered, "I dug out his crystal core, of course, to absorb it."

Li Li was stunned: "Have you awakened your superpowers?"

"No, but what happened in the car just now, didn't you realize anything?" He glanced at Li Li and snorted, "You have long hair but little knowledge."

Following Song Kaiji all the way had one benefit. It really allowed him to see too many things he had never heard of before. The human crystal core was so effective. If he swallowed it, he might be able to activate his supernatural powers!

Li Li was so shocked that she opened her mouth wide: "Swallow, swallow it? How can you swallow it?"

"Why not?" Li Liang was proud of his idea. "If it was a zombie's crystal core, swallowing it might infect me with the zombie virus, but this is a human! Even if it can't stimulate superpowers, it's just like swallowing a piece of human bone or human stone. How bad can it be? But what if it really can stimulate superpowers?"

Li Li didn't know what to say. Li Liang's words didn't sound unreasonable. There was no cost or risk in trying. But her sixth sense was very uneasy. She always felt that something bad would happen, but she didn't dare to annoy Li Liang again. She could only force a smile and said, "Brother, you are really smart."

Li Liang glanced at her and said, "Go to the car opposite and find the crystal cores of those people. Dig them all out for me." This bald guy is just a space power user. Although teleportation is useful, his attack power is low. He needs to collect more crystal cores of various powers, and it would be best if he could be like Qu Weiwei and give birth to a powerful mutant power...

"There's no car over there, and it's on fire..." Li Li was reluctant, but had to get out of the car under Li Liang's coercion.

The car on the opposite side had been blown to pieces by the grenade long ago, and the four psychics in the car were turned into small pieces. She picked up a stick and picked through the broken pieces, but after searching for a long time she couldn't find the head.

Hearing the noise behind her, Li Li thought that Li Liang was waiting anxiously, and hurriedly said: "Brother, I really looked for it carefully, but it was really blown to pieces..." However, when she turned around, she saw Li Liang who had turned into a zombie and rushed towards her with a roar.

"ah!!!"
