Chapter 65 Xu Zheng is dead

"What?"

"You said Xu Zheng is dead?" Wen Yuan grabbed Li Wenwen's arms, and Li Wenwen burst into tears.

Seeing that Wen Yuan was very emotional, Xu Jing thought about their usual relationship and thought that the other party was too upset, which was why she was so excited.

"Wen Yuan, don't be sad. To put it bluntly, this is fate."

Who would have thought that after the four of them went through so much hardship to return to the base, in the end only she and Li Wenwen survived.

Shen Qianxun grabbed Wen Yuan and signaled her to calm down. Wen Yuan then let go of Li Wenwen and looked at Xu Jing, "Tell me, how did he die?"

Xu Jing sighed, "Last night, the four of us narrowly escaped the monster's pursuit. After returning to the base, we were isolated separately. However, Deputy Base Commander Luo sent someone to tell us that Xu Zheng and Liu Tiantian were infected with the virus and are both dead."

"Did you see his body?" Wen Yuan asked.

Xu Jing shook her head. Li Wenwen, having calmed down, spoke up, "We only saw them being wrapped in black cloth and taken to the base's crematorium."

"Did you find anything strange before and after their death?" Shen Qianxun asked.

The two looked at each other, trying to recall. After a while, Xu Jing spoke first, "I didn't notice. He was fine before returning to the base."

Li Wenwen nodded. "When we returned to the base, we were all very scared. After informing Deputy Base Commander Luo of what had happened, we were isolated separately. However..."

"Go on."

"But we only heard that they were mutated. Their bodies were wrapped so tightly that we couldn't see anything."

Wen Yuan continued to ask, "Are you sure they were dead at that time?"

Xu Jing nodded, and Li Wenwen continued, "Deputy Base Commander Luo's people told us. He must have died at that time."

Shen Qianxun thought for a moment, “Did you hear any unusual movements while you were in isolation?”

The two of them shook their heads at the same time without hesitation.

Li Wenwen frowned, "Our isolation rooms are right next to each other, but I really didn't hear any sound."

"In your opinion, are they still alive?" Li Wenwen said, then shook her head in denial, "How is that possible? Deputy Base Commander Luo wouldn't lie."

Shen Qianxun and Wen Yuan didn't ask any more questions after looking at each other.

The other side.

After Lei Yi and his men checked the body in the car, they found that the entire head of the body had been hollowed out. Even though it had become a mummy, one could see that its face was distorted. The process of death must have been extremely painful.

The four soldiers drove the body back to the base first, where their relatives were waiting for them to return home.

Li Wenwen and Xu Jing watched the two cars leaving with the bodies, their faces filled with fear. They grabbed Lei Yi tightly and said, "Captain Lei, please let us go back. We have told you everything we can about that monster. We don't want to see it again. Please."

Not only the monsters, if possible, they didn't even want to leave the base. What happened yesterday still made them panic. If it weren't for the purpose of finding the bodies of Guan Mucheng and others, they would not have been willing to come out at all.

Seeing the two of them like this, Lei Yi knew that it would be pointless to persist and might even backfire. "Then you should go back with me."

The two of them instantly turned from sadness to joy, feeling relieved. After hurriedly saying goodbye to a few people, they quickly got into the car.

Shen Qianxun looked at the scene of the two people hugging each other in the car window, and recalled the appearance of Vice President Liu after his mutation. She could understand it very well. If she didn't have powerful superpowers and hadn't met Wen Yuan, she and Cotton Candy would probably not be here.

"Lei Yi, are you going to hunt down that monster?"

Lei Yi nodded and looked at Wen Yuan, "By the way, have you seen it?"

"What does he look like?" they asked in unison.

"According to Li Wenwen and the others, the monster likely retains the appearance of Vice President Liu during his lifetime, with numerous white, glowing threads extending from its head."

"You've all met Vice President Liu, right?"

Shen Qianxun said, “I have seen it, Wen Yuan was unconscious at the time.”

Lei Yi looked at Shen Qianxun, “Then have you seen him later?”

Shen Qianxun shook his head, and Wen Yuan followed suit.

I didn't expect to meet him, and I was delayed by Xu Zheng's matter, so I couldn't find a good excuse and just pretended to know nothing.

Anyway, it has been solved by the two of them, so it’s not a big problem.

Lei Yi pulled the corners of his mouth with difficulty. For some reason, he felt that the two were not telling the truth, but he had no evidence.

He glanced at the Hummer behind them and the cat scratching the car door frantically, and said to Wen Yuan, "See you back at the base." Then he turned and left.

Wen Yuan behind him sighed softly, lowered his eyes and whispered, "Goodbye!"

"Chihiro, I want to go back to the base to confirm."

Shen Qianxun nodded and reached out to pat her shoulder, but Wen Yuan grabbed her hand and rubbed it against her face, “Qianxun, your hands are cold, just right for applying to your face in the summer.”

After opening the car door and comforting Marshmallow, Shen Qianxun asked curiously, “How did you and Lei Yi know each other?”

Due to limited time last night, the two only talked about their families and dangerous experiences, and did not mention Lei Yi.

Wen Yuan took the mineral water handed to her by Shen Qianxun and said, “I met him at the Xiangtan base 10 days ago. We teamed up temporarily and did two missions.”

At that time, she and her sister followed the main force and arrived at the Xiangtan base. It was on the first day of entering the base that they met Lei Yi, Xu Zheng and others.

Wen Yuan tightly grasped the pendant around her neck. Inside was a photo of her and her sister, and it was also the only thought left to her.

Seeing Wen Yuan's mood calmed down, Shen Qianxun handed a box of cake to her, "Chocolate, your favorite." Shen Qianxun knew that the other party was a foodie and could accept both sweet and sour cakes.

Wen Yuan wiped away her tears and wiped her nose. "Give me another packet of pickled chicken feet, with pepper and numbing flavor."

Shen Qianxun immediately arranged for a large bucket.

"What kind of supernatural power is Lei Yi?"

To be able to become the captain of the base combat team, his abilities must be quite good.

"Guess?" Wen Yuan had a big smile on his face.

"Thunder element?"

Shen Qianxun’s first reaction.

“Somewhat, but no.”

“Gold, wood, water, fire, earth, spirit, healing…” Shen Qianxun said everything he could think of.

Wen Yuan still shook her head, "I can only say that they are somewhat related."

Shen Qianxun murmured, “It does matter.”

An idea suddenly occurred to my mind, "Could it be a copy?"

"Bingo!" Wen Yuan snapped his fingers.

Shen Qianxun put the marshmallow aside, her face full of curiosity, “Tell me in detail.”

Wen Yuan took a big bite of cake and said vaguely, "It's literally copying. He can copy one of the abilities of the people around him. After the ability is upgraded to level two, it can last for about half an hour. After half an hour, it can be copied again as long as there are crystal cores to replenish it."

Shen Qianxun was extremely envious. It was a special ability that was not mentioned in the book. But when she thought about it, she did not follow Gu Wanyin's path as described in the book. The information she was exposed to now was all from a new perspective.

"It's great, I can experience all kinds of superpowers."

"Are there any limits to his copying?"

Wen Yuan, "Yes, he can't copy abilities that are higher than his level. For example, he's at the early stage of level two now, so he can't copy abilities at the middle or late stage of level two, or even your level three."

"Then can he copy the zombies' abilities?"

Wen Yuan nodded, "Okay."

"You won't turn into a zombie?"

Wen Yuan shook his head.

Shen Qianxun nodded, “I understand.”

Ten minutes later, the Hummer sped towards the Xiangtan base.
