Yinquan Town (VIII)

"Here." Liang Qing said to Shi Xiaofeng and Nie Yun not far away.

Shi Xiaofeng, who came over after hearing the sound, was the first to frown: "Why does this shape look so much like a human heart?"

Nie Yun and Liang Qing were stunned. Naturally, they lacked Shi Xiaofeng's sensitivity in this area. They turned their heads and adjusted their gaze. Indeed, the mark resembled the shape of a human heart.

It turns out that the heart of spring is the literal translation, a heart-shaped mark.

"Could this be the origin of the black fog?" Shi Xiaofeng rubbed his hands excitedly and nervously.

"What's going on? It doesn't look like there's an entrance here."

Liang Qing sat on the ground, knocked on the ground, and looked at the nearby terrain.

"How many points do you have?"

Shi Xiaofeng: "More than four hundred."

Nie Yunyin and Liang Qing dismantled Anna's lair together and earned considerable points: "More than 3,000."

Liang Qing showed his points, which totaled six thousand including the reward from the wooden man.

"Ten thousand points, exchange for 100 advanced explosive packs, 50 each. We'll use the rest to replenish our gun and ammunition inventory."

When Liang Qing said this, Nie Yunshi and Xiaofeng all knew that she had a solution, and they had no objection. They quickly exchanged the things according to Liang Qing's instructions.

"We can also give you our points." Alan spoke on the intercom.

"How many are left after you upgrade your weapons to high-powered submachine guns?"

A minute later, Jason replied, "We have less than 1,000 left."

"Switch to a light mortar."

"yes."

"Jason Allen, who among you can drive?" Liang Qing asked after he finished explaining.

"I can," Alan replied, adding, "Not very well."

"Wait for me here. I'll lure some zombies over. Once I get in the car, floor the accelerator and drive in the direction of my flare."

"……good."

Nie Yunshi Xiaofeng was equally shocked when he heard the plan: "What do you mean by attracting some zombies?"

Liang Qing weighed the baby carrier against her chest. Liang Baobao was soundly asleep, head tilted to one side. She did a few sets of high-leg raises, stretched her muscles, and shrugged, "That's exactly what it says."

Nie Yun wanted to persuade him, but Liang Qing's excited voice came from the intercom again.

"Finally, I can stretch my muscles."

Twenty minutes later, Shi Xiaofeng and Nie Yun had confirmed the coordinates. They had retreated to the nearest safe distance to provide cover for Liang Qing.

"I'm ready too." Alan silently started the engine.

"Three, two, one!" Liang Qing pressed the switch, detonating the time bomb hidden in the pile of explosives.

Explosions rang out one after another in an instant, and the Dongquan Hills shook as flames shot up into the sky.

Finally, the last fragment of explosives fell to the ground, and the original heart-shaped mark disappeared, leaving a big black hole there.

The place where Liang Qing was hiding was closest to here. She stuck her head out and heard heavy breathing, biting sounds and irregular footsteps coming from the cave entrance.

The moon peeked out, bathing the earth in a cold, dim light. Stumbling, the first zombie crawled out of the cave, followed by the second, the third... and there was no need to count the others. The cave entrance was like a broken water bag, and zombies poured out like a stream of water and a honeycomb.

"Boss, how could you possibly bear it?" Nie Yun couldn't sit still and wanted to step forward immediately.

"Stay still!" Liang Qing's short command came from the intercom.

Immediately afterwards, everyone saw Liang Qing light a red flare, hold it high in his hand, and run wildly towards the place beyond the hill.

She was so fast and so light that one could not imagine that she was carrying a mortar, some explosives, a heavy machine gun, and a kid weighing nearly 20 kilograms on her back.

"The speed is too slow!" She shouted provocatively to the person behind her and lit the scarlet flare.

The zombies that had originally scattered after leaving the cave now found their target. They ran towards Liang Qing like crazy.

The zombies merged into a huge tide. Initially, Liang Qing was about 10 meters away from them.

Five hundred meters. Slowly, Liang Qing controlled the distance to about two hundred meters. In this way, he could ensure to the greatest extent that no zombies would wander out to disturb Nie Yunshi Xiaofeng.

She could almost hear the grinding of the leading zombie's teeth.

"Alan... there are too many of them... Liang Qing can't be alive! There are tens of thousands of zombies in the back visible to the naked eye!" Jason lay on the back seat and watched with a pale face.

Alan remained unmoved. He gripped the steering wheel tightly, his foot hovering over the accelerator, staring at the red flare that was getting closer and closer in the rearview mirror.

Time passes by every second.

"We are going to die! These zombies are almost as fast as the motorcycle! That woman is crazy! We escaped with great difficulty, we can't die here!" Jason shook Alan's arm and begged.

"If you want to leave, leave now." Alan didn't even look at Jason.

"You!..." Jason was so angry that he spoke faster, "You and I are teammates! These adult players are totally unreliable! How do you know she won't abuse and betray you like Roy did?"

"go out."

Alan pushed the back door open.

In the distance, the red flare was still held high. In the darkness, they could not make out Liang Qing's figure. Only the red flare was swaying like a candle, and behind it was a dark group of zombies.

"You'll regret this!" Jason's face changed, and he gritted his teeth. He quickly jumped out of the car and took the high-powered submachine gun that Allen had placed on the passenger seat.

He was sure that Alan would not get out of the car and fight with him at this time.

Sure enough, Allen didn't. He looked at Jason sadly and indifferently as he left without looking back, then turned his gaze away.

A minute later, Liang Qing jumped into the car: "Let's go!"

With almost no pause, Alan started the car and quickly increased the speed. The old car suddenly rushed out like an agile leopard.

The distance of two hundred meters was instantly stretched.

"Go straight! Go to the base camp where other players are hiding!" Liang Qing threw the flare in his hand. The red arc slid across the sky, tearing the silence of the night.

The whole town was in an uproar.

Allen didn't ask questions, faithfully following Liang Qing's orders. After Liang Qing placed Bao Bao in the car seat, he opened the roof, raised his gun, and began shooting at the closest zombies. Bullet shells flew like snowflakes, and rows of zombies fell.

Liang Qing was in high spirits when he glanced down and saw Liang Baobao happily playing with empty shells. He quickly took the shell from his hand.

"This is still scalding hot! This isn't for kids, okay?"

This was like stirring up a hornet's nest. Liang Baobao's mouth flattened, and he burst into tears in utter grievance, occasionally opening his eyes to steal glances at Liang Qing while crying.

Liang Qing: ...

She took Daisy out of her sling. Daisy rubbed her eyes and saw Liang Baobao crying with his mouth wide open. She was speechless and said, "You little stinky boy, making so much noise."

Liang Qing gently rubbed Daisy's head: "Do you have any way to stop him from crying?"

Liang Qing asked a question, but Daisy saw through her thoughts at a glance: "I won't do it even if you kill me."

"Buy you a princess dress?"

"No."

"Add a pair of ballet slippers."

“…NO.”

"Add a beautiful hairband and a small comb." Liang Qing raised three fingers.

Daisy: ...

She sighed resignedly and pulled out her long hair hidden under her skirt. Seeing the beautiful hair, Liang Baobao forgot about acting like a spoiled child for a moment. He stretched out his chubby hand, grabbed the hair and stuffed it into his mouth.

I don’t know what magic Daisy’s hair has, but Toothless Liang Baobao kept chewing it, and the more he chewed, the happier he became, even happier than if he had picked up an empty bullet shell.

Beside him, Daisy folded her arms, her face dark.

"Sister Liang Qing! Someone is shooting at us!" Allen was sharp-eyed and saw flashes of fire appearing out of thin air not far away - judging from the density of the fire, there were at least a dozen people ambushing in the blind spot of their sight.

A smile appeared on Liang Qing's lips. She guessed right.

When she'd been looking at the map before, she'd noticed that some moving areas would intermittently appear without black spots, not fixed, but only for a few hours a day. The movement patterns of the areas were irregular, but the area looked similar to her safe house.

After two patrols, they had almost mastered the entire town of Yinquan. It was impossible for any players to hide in these dilapidated buildings, and even if they did, they would not survive more than two nights.

Then there is only one possibility, there is at least one safe house outside.

Liang Qing relied on the map to guide the zombie horde to the safe house where other players were stationed.

The points and weapons and equipment they have are definitely not enough to annihilate all the zombies, and Liang Qing also needs to retain his strength to deal with the big boss.

Many stray bullets hit the car, one of which hit the tire. Allen was quick to control the direction of the car before it lost control.

"Did they do it intentionally or unintentionally?" Alan asked through gritted teeth.

"It makes no difference." In the back seat, Liang Qing put Liang Baobao and Daisy back into the carriers, then picked up his weapons.

"Will you jump out of the car?"

"Um, ah?" Alan was stunned.

"I'll count to five, open the door, and just jump. Don't be afraid, don't think about anything."

A second later, Allen nodded: "Okay."

Liang Qing hugged Liang Baobao tightly to her chest and wrapped her arms around him. At the last second of the countdown, she and Alan kicked open the car door at the same time and jumped into the dark night.

At the same time, a beam of light enveloped them. Allen didn't even have time to groan before his body fell onto the thick blanket, while Liang Qing landed on the sofa. She spun lightly and sat down steadily, holding Liang Baobao in her arms.

At the last second before escaping, she unfolded the safe house.

Outside the window, their old sedan slowed down dramatically, no one on the accelerator. The car lurched forward, the zombies behind it surging like a tide, quickly covering the car—and the smell of fresh, warm humans lingered inside.

In the blink of an eye, flames shot up into the sky and explosions rang out again. In front of the safe house, a car exploded, along with hundreds of zombies trapped on top. The flames illuminated half of the town.

The gunshots outside the house were getting closer.
