Chapter 222 Xiao Ci, I might know him

"Did you find anything?"

Shen Que and Meng Ci became alert instantly because of Xiong Ying's action.

Xiongying is a military dog, so he must have sensed something was wrong.

"No!"

Shen Que shook his head, probably because it was not far away and it was the eagle that was reminding them to pay attention.

So Meng Ci and Shen Que crouched down and held their weapons tightly in their hands.

Seeing that the two men were on guard, the eagle continued to lead the way, and only stopped in front of a big rock.

Meng Ci and Shen Que quickly hid behind the rocks and found that there was a tunnel at the foot of the opposite mountain, and the bridge that had been built previously had collapsed in half.

It's just a tunnel, what's so strange about it?

"Xiao Ci, look and see if there is anyone on the other side!" Shen Que suddenly spoke.

When Meng Ci heard this, he quickly took out two telescopes from the space.

Through the telescope, he saw several men walking into the tunnel opposite.

"What are they doing in the tunnel?" Meng Ci looked confused.

Meng Ci estimated the distance from here to M Town, which was only twenty kilometers. Before the end of the world, humans could reach there in four or five hours on foot.

Now, after experiencing the apocalypse for so long, people's physical fitness has generally improved, but it still takes about two hours to walk.

Living in the tunnel is warm in winter and cool in summer, but it is much more troublesome to go to the base to exchange food or get water.

Moreover, aren’t you afraid of encountering danger in this deep mountain forest?

Can these people be self-sufficient?

Thinking of this, Meng Ci took a telescope and looked around, but did not see any signs of farming.

"I remember it!" Shen Que turned over and sat behind a rock, and suddenly spoke.

Meng Ci put away the telescope, sat next to Shen Que, and asked in confusion: "What did you remember?"

"In my previous life, I was at the Xishan Wild Base and heard from others that there was a group of evil people living near the refugee resettlement site in City M."

"They abducted women, stole money, and planted drugs."

"However, because these people hid very well and were very vigilant, the officials of the refugee resettlement site in City M have not been able to catch them."

"Later, during the zombie era, I heard from others that these evil people were captured near the end of the polar day."

"And their lair is the tunnel."

The novel that Meng Ci read mainly talked about two male protagonists, and they were mainly in the Xishan wild base at the time, so it did not write about things in other bases.

At this time, I thought of the two male protagonists, Si Chen and Wen Siang, who were not seen at the Xishan wild base.

It's impossible that these two people are in any danger.

However, Meng Ci thought that since they were the two protagonists, nothing should happen to them.

Get rid of unimportant people from your mind and keep your attention on the present.

Meng Ci stood up, picked up the telescope and looked towards the opposite tunnel again, then saw them capturing two women.

"Why did they bring the women out?" Meng Ci was puzzled. Did they kill or let them go because they thought they were useless?

"Transaction!" Shen Que also stood up and continued to observe, and told what he knew.

"They locked up many women in the tunnels, printed out their photos, and took them to refugee settlements in City M or other places for trading."

"If there are any women who are chosen, they will take them out of the mountains for trading."

"Half a pound of food at a time, or other gold, silver, and diamonds are all fine."

If you give a handful of food before midnight, you can get it once.

Nowadays, because of the polar day, people have no shortage of food, so the price has increased.

"Beast!" Meng Ci cursed.

What a shameless bunch of lazy guys who make a living by relying on women's bodies.

Shen Que saw that Meng Ci had been observing the situation in the tunnel, and a hesitant expression appeared on his face.

"Xiao Ci, remember I just told you that someone told me what happened here?"

Hearing Shen Que's words, Meng Ci sat back down.

"Remember."

Meng Ci said that he is now twenty years old, not one hundred and twenty years old, and he will not forget what he just said.

“She was rescued from here.” Shen Que said.

When Meng Ci heard this, his alarm bells immediately rang.

The person rescued from here is most likely a girl. Shen Que said this now. Could it be that the two of them have some relationship?

"And then?" Meng Ci continued to ask.

If he dared to say that he liked that woman, Meng Ci would blow this guy up.

You already have someone you like, but you still mess with him. You deserve to die.

Shen Que probably realized that his words might be ambiguous and cause Meng Ci to misunderstand, so he hurriedly explained.

"She just saved my life during the zombie era. There is absolutely no other relationship between her and me." Shen Que quickly grabbed Meng Ci's hand and explained hurriedly.

Meng Ci shook off Shen Que's hand, "I didn't say you two were related."

Having known Shen Que for almost two years, Meng Ci certainly knew that Shen Que would not be that kind of person.

Since he said it's okay, then it really doesn't matter.

Shen Que introduced the woman.

The woman's name was Zhou Ning. When Shen recognized her, it was already the zombie era. He only knew that she came to the Xishan wild base from the refugee resettlement site in M City.

Zhou Ning led a small team and killed zombies along the way.

He is very capable and agile, but his only shortcoming is his limp.

She also possesses dual abilities. Her speed ability allows her to move among zombies with ease, while her fire ability allows her to kill zombies faster.

After learning that the Xishanye base could develop drugs to resist the zombie virus, Zhou Ning decided to stay here to help.

During an outing, Shen Que's team ran into Zhou Ning's team, and then encountered a tide of zombies.

Shen Que also has dual abilities, but one is a spatial ability that is useless in a fight, so he was knocked to the ground by a zombie when he wasn't paying attention.

Seeing the zombie's fangs about to bite his neck, Shen Que almost gave up struggling.

In the end, it was Zhou Ning who stepped in and saved him.

Even so, Shen Que had a cold personality, so he just said a dry word of thanks, and there was no more interaction afterwards.

It was not until a group of people from the M City refugee resettlement site arrived at the Xishanye Base that Zhou Ning’s past experiences began to spread in the base.

After hearing this, those who originally admired Zhou Ning in the base all distanced themselves from her, and some even said that she was unclean and shameful.

Zhou Ning's lame leg was broken during his imprisonment.

But Zhou Ning didn't care at all. She just wanted the apocalypse to end quickly, and she still took her team out to look for herbs every day.

By the way, almost all the people in Zhou Ning’s team are girls.

When Meng Ci heard this, he thought Zhou Ning was very powerful.

Shen Que said: "She saved my life in my previous life, but I never found a chance to repay her, and I was bitten to death by zombies."

"So, I want to see if she's in there!"

"If there is, rescue her."
