Chapter 261 You Can Only Rely on Yourself to Escape

The regret and guilt that Qiu Liren was left with in the end caused him to wake up suddenly in the middle of the night countless times, and then his heart would twitch in pain and he could no longer fall asleep.

The huge sadness completely overwhelmed Qiu Liren, and he was in a state of confusion.

Seeing his adopted son become like this, Qiu Ming was really worried about letting him leave his side, so he forced Qiu Liren to take him with him when he visited the Leia base this time.

Also, Qiu Ming hopes that Jiang Zixuan and others can enlighten and persuade Qiu Liren.

He didn't know what had happened between Qiu Liren and Shan Changcheng that made Qiu Liren so distressed by Shan Changcheng's departure that he couldn't get relief.

Since he couldn't do anything for his adopted son, he could only ask someone who knew the details.

From Qiu Liren's story, Jiang Zixuan finally understood what Shan Changcheng had encountered.

After parting from Haizhou, the warships of the unified base crossed the sea and returned to the land where the unified base was located, and then changed to off-road vehicles, crossing mountains and rivers, and traveled a long distance.

That night, due to a sudden earthquake, the bridge collapsed and the road was blocked, making it impossible to return along the original route, so everyone camped in the forest.

At that time, the relationship between Qiu Liren and Shan Changcheng had eased a lot. Although they were still not free of grudges and could not sleep in the same bed like normal comrades, at least they were not on the verge of a confrontation and were not in a childish cold war like before.

Seeing that Qiu Liren and Shan Changcheng had a good relationship, Qiu Ming jokingly asked Shan Changcheng if he wanted to join the armed forces.

With Dan Changcheng's ability, he can definitely get a position as a team leader.

Qiu Liren also hoped so. After all, more helpers mean more paths. When the base is short of combat power, no talent can be let go.

However, even though he was persuaded by both the father and son, Shan Changcheng still declined, saying that he just wanted to go home to farm and take care of his family.

He had lived through more than ten years of bloody days. Before going to sleep every day, he was covered in blood. When he opened his eyes, he would first feel grateful that he was still alive to see the rising sun.

He really didn't want to live this kind of life of fear and worry about his life at any time.

He was unwilling to join, and Qiu Ming did not force him.

Qiu Ming could see that Shan Changcheng had fought his way out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of dead bodies. The ferocity in his eyes was unmatched even by Qiu Liren.

Although Qiu Liren had also been in the armed forces for many years, the missions he performed were all overt and relatively "mild" until after the end of the world, when they became cruel.

But since Shan Changcheng joined the team, he was either killing people or setting fires every day. He had to hold his weapon at all times to avoid losing his life.

His nerves are too tense. If he continues to live that kind of life, it will only drive him into the gutter and he will never be able to get up again.

After chatting for a few sentences, Qiu Ming was called away by other commanders, leaving Dan Changcheng and Qiu Liren chatting at the edge of the camp.

In fact, Qiu Liren had a lot of things he wanted to ask Shan Changcheng, especially things about the past that he accidentally remembered.

He was not sure whether the memory was true or false, and whether the protagonist in the memory was Shan Changcheng.

He hesitated for a long time, and when he finally made up his mind to get things clear, the camp was attacked by zombies that suddenly appeared.

Thousands of zombies emerged silently from all over the forest, including countless high-level zombies, which directly dispersed the group.

The armed forces that went to Haizhou were evacuated in batches. The main force went first, and Qiu Ming and others lagged behind. Therefore, they did not bring any weapons and had to rely on the psychics to fight with their bare hands.

Qiu Liren had not yet recovered from the injuries he had sustained in Haizhou, and his exhausted supernatural powers had not fully recovered, so the battle was quite strenuous for him. Fortunately, Shan Changcheng was there to protect him.

The high-level zombies were almost heading towards Qiu Ming. Qiu Ming was unable to take care of himself, so he just asked Shan Changcheng to lead Qiu Liren to retreat first, and he would break out of the encirclement and join them.

Shan Changcheng immediately led Qiu Liren to break through the zombie encirclement and drove out of the forest to avoid the zombie attack.

However, they never expected that there were more zombie beasts waiting for them in the forest.

That might become Qiu Liren's most painful nightmare in his life, and he would never forget it until his death.

Shan Changcheng drove him away, but was chased and surrounded by zombie beasts throughout the forest.

Those beasts, which were more ferocious and vicious than normal, rammed the off-road vehicles crazily, pierced the tires with their sharp teeth, smashed the windows with their hard heads, and jumped onto the roofs to smash things around.

The off-road vehicle soon became a pile of scrap metal, and the two men had to get out and walk, relying on their legs to escape.

More and more zombie beasts gathered around the two of them, and they were unable to resist at all.

The two men fought and retreated, their bodies covered in blood, with not a single intact part on them.

The forest that blocked out the sun was filled with the howling of zombie beasts, and zombies were everywhere you looked.

The fourth-generation psychic Qiu Ming is entangled by high-level zombies. The fighting power of other people may be worse than theirs, and their life or death is unknown.

No one could come to rescue them, so they had to rely on themselves to escape.

They barely managed to escape to a canyon that was like a natural chasm. In front of them was a bare, semi-dried riverbed, and behind them were zombie beasts chasing them with bared fangs and claws.

Their physical strength had been exhausted, and they could not outrun those tireless zombie beasts even if they walked.

It seemed that there was really no need for them to struggle any further except to wait to die together.

When there was no way out, Shan Changcheng still habitually kept Qiu Liren behind him.

At that time, he still had the energy to joke and asked Qiu Liren that if he died, he could say a word to his family, saying that the name Dan Changcheng was not nice and very rustic.

When we erect a monument for him in the future, it would be best if the name on the monument could be changed. It should still be Shan, but it should be a high-sounding name, preferably with highlights, fashionable and stylish, to make a deep impression.

Qiu Liren covered his arm that was pierced by the zombie beast's fangs, smiled weakly, and said, "In this situation, both of them will die."

Shan Changcheng’s last wish can only be fulfilled through dreams.

Shan Changcheng laughed out loud, and suddenly looked at Qiu Liren very seriously.

He said nothing, but just looked at her with reluctance.

He usually never looked at Qiu Liren openly with such a look. He was too afraid to see Qiu Liren's disgusted look, too afraid that Qiu Liren would feel disgusted.

He was even more afraid that Qiu Liren would completely break up with him and become his lifelong enemy.

But at that time, he might have realized that this was the last time they would see each other in this life, and he looked at Qiu Liren without any scruples.

Qiu Liren's keen intuition told him that Shan Changcheng might do something stupid.

But before he could say anything, Shan Changcheng suddenly pushed him hard and pushed him to the other side of the canyon.

A thick earth wall quickly rose between the two of them. Qiu Liren's expression changed from astonishment to fear, and finally to panic. He rushed towards Shan Changcheng like a madman, but was blocked by the earth wall.

The army of zombie beasts finally arrived. The fastest zombie wolf jumped high over Shan Changcheng's head and pounced towards Qiu Liren.

It was unlucky and crashed headfirst into the rising earth wall, its skin and flesh torn apart and its brain bursting out.

Shan Changcheng held a earth spike in his hand and pierced its head instantly, then took out several zombie beasts in front of him with his backhand. It was a completely life-threatening way of fighting.

Through the cracks in the earth wall, Qiu Liren saw Shan Changcheng moving his lips and giving silent instructions.

"I can hold out for five minutes, run away."
