Chapter 86: The End of the World - Journey to Zizhou 2 (Revised)



Li Li wanted to slap her brother twice! The two of them were able to survive until now, instead of being killed by Song Kaiji in Hongcheng Base, wasn't it because Song Kaiji believed that the second uncle and second aunt might still be alive? At this time, he still mentioned the spirit of the second uncle in heaven. Was he trying to annoy Song Kaiji, or was he afraid that he would die too late?

However, she didn't know that Li Liang was thinking much more clearly than her at this moment!

Li Liang is different from her. Li Li just stood by and watched the whole thing, and when she met Song Kaiji afterwards, she chose to help her brother to conceal the truth and deceive Song Kaiji, and even tried to make Song Kaiji a sucker, so that Song Kaiji would take her into the base and support her...

Although it was also excessive, in the end, it was not a big deal. Li Li did not play any substantial role in the danger of Song Kaiji's parents. But Li Liang was not like that!

If it weren't for him, the boyfriend of the water-based mutant would never have taken action!

Song Kaiji had already treated them like this, and he had kept him alive just to find someone. When they got to Zizhou, even if his uncle and aunt were not dead, would Song Kaiji let him go? He absolutely did not believe that Song Kaiji would forgive him and bring him back to Hongcheng Base to give him a chance to live just because he had found his uncle and aunt. At most, he would not kill him immediately and leave him where he was.

Without a car and supplies, he will just die anyway!

In this case, why should he go along with Song Kaiji and let Song Kaiji use up his last bit of value? If he can't live anymore, Song Kaiji won't be able to live comfortably! At this point, he doesn't want to swallow his anger! As for what will happen to Li Li after he angers Song Kaiji, he's going to die, so how can he care about others!

Sure enough, Song Kaiji's face turned black.

In fact, he had looked for the water-type psychic and her boyfriend. After recovering from the grief, Song Kaiji asked Chen Jiaqian for help. The new psychics in the base were all known, and the direction from Zizhou was so obvious. Based on the images in the fragments in Li Liang and Li Li's minds, it was easy to find the water-type psychic.

She is a very gentle woman, which is consistent with her character of providing a small amount of water to everyone for free. But at the same time, she is also very clear-headed: she will not be a saint and let others take whatever they want.

When Song Kaiji came to his house, this water-type supernatural being generously admitted the incident: "My boyfriend did it - or rather, my ex-boyfriend did it. Because of this incident, we broke up."

"I really hate that Li Liang, but I never intended to kill him for such a small matter. We just came to Hongcheng together and stayed together for a few days. We separated when we arrived at the Hongcheng base. It's not certain whether we will see each other again in this life. Although he is disgusting, there is no need for me to pay too much attention to him and get entangled with him too much."

The woman frowned. What she didn't say was that Li Liang was jumping around in front of her like a clown every day, hoping to get free water, but it was also a common and clumsy way of trying to attract a woman's attention. For a man like Li Liang, the more you pay attention to him, the more excited he is. On the contrary, ignoring him will make him painful and break his defense.

...She just didn't expect that maybe her defense was too broken, which led to Li Liang pestering her in front of her car.

She could ignore a clown who broke her defense, but her boyfriend Wang Zheng was different. Or rather, since the apocalypse broke out and they awakened their superpowers, she found that Wang Zheng had slowly become someone she didn't recognize.

He began to worship the use of force and had an extreme pursuit of strength. He firmly believed that the strong prey on the weak and the strong are respected. At the same time, he looked down on ordinary people without superpowers and could not tolerate the offenses of ordinary people against superpowers. The day after Li Liang and she had a conflict, Wang Zheng planned to kill Li Liang.

She actually regretted stopping Wang Zheng at that time. If he had done it at that time, maybe only Li Liang would have died...

In short, "He attacked the car without my consent, and we broke up because of this." The two had a huge difference in their concepts, which was an irreconcilable contradiction. Wang Zheng, like Tang Wenjie, was a gold-type superpower, much higher than her. After arriving at the Hongcheng base, he was quickly recruited by a larger superpower team. Now the two have no contact.

"If you want revenge, and it was him who did it, you should go find him. If you don't believe me, or you insist on taking your anger out on me, of course I understand." The woman smiled and turned to look at Song Kaiji, "Even if we have broken up, this is a matter between us. In your eyes, we can still be classified as a whole. It's like Li Liang is the one who is annoying, and your parents haven't done anything. But in our eyes, you are a family."

Family members will protect and help each other, so it is hard to guarantee that if the younger ones are beaten, the older ones will not be beaten. Look at Song Kaiji, isn't he coming to the door? If it were Wang Zheng, he would only hate himself for making such a mistake, letting Li Liang run away, and failing to eradicate the root of the problem!

"But I won't let anyone bully me." She didn't want to cause trouble, but she wasn't afraid of it either. "Private fighting is not allowed in the base. Why don't we go outside the base?"

Song Kaiji was silent for a long time and finally left.

He felt that what the water-type psychic said was not wrong, and he could not take his pain and anger out on her. Even if Song Kaiji had mastered teleportation and could attack unexpectedly, he might not be able to defeat this fourth-level water-type psychic.

As for her ex-boyfriend Wang Zheng, Song Kaiji is even more unable to defeat him... If it's a one-on-one, no one in their entire team should be able to beat him. If it's a group attack, the other party has joined an even stronger team, and they really can't gain any advantage by going after him now.

Li Liang was still shouting, "Go find him if you have the guts! Why are you trying to act so powerful in front of me? You're just a coward who bullies the weak and fears the strong. You can't even avenge your own parents, right? Or is it that after all, he is not your biological son? My second uncle is not worth risking your life for, right? Hahahahaha."

Qu Weiwei couldn't bear it anymore and stuffed his mouth with the leaves.

Song Kaiji's face became darker and darker because Li Liang really hit his pain point, and he was a little bit broken. Although Song Kaiji had faced despair and helplessness countless times since the end of the world, none of them made him feel the pain of powerlessness like this time.

"I will kill him." Song Kaiji murmured, "Sooner or later."

"Don't listen to him getting crazy, he's deliberately saying harsh words to provoke you." Seeing that Song Kaiji's face looked wrong, Shen Qing hurriedly supported him.

Qu Weiwei also said, "It's all my fault. I was afraid he would suffocate to death, so I let him go for a while, but he got the chance." She kicked Li Liang, glanced at Li Li next to her, and threw some food to her: "Let him suffocate to death, don't we have another one? We don't have to use him."

Chen Jiaqian looked at Li Liang thoughtfully: "Is that so? Then lend me this person." She had just realized that she had awakened her superpowers, and she didn't know much about her abilities. Brain-based superpowers also had different directions. Who would be willing to help her practice with someone like her who could absorb people's memories? It was just right to try with Li Liang: "It shouldn't cause any damage to him."

Song Kaiji left the room without saying a word, and Qu Weiwei threw Li Liang to her: "Be careful when using it, don't kill it." She glanced in the direction where Song Kaiji left, feeling a little worried.

She and Song Kaiji came to Hongcheng Base at about the same time, and their experiences were similar, so she understood Song Kaiji's mentality. Hongcheng Base was officially controlled from the beginning, and it was safe and orderly. They were lucky to be able to come to Hongcheng Base early, but they also missed a lot of the trials of the end of the world.

This kind of training is not only about the strength of superpowers and combat capabilities, but more about character and hardness of heart.

If it were Tang Wenjie, who arrived at the base later than them and had encountered more bad guys and more evil things along the way, he would not be as soft-hearted as Song Kaiji, nor would he be depressed by a few words from Li Liang.

Qu Weiwei hesitated whether to go over to comfort Song Kaiji, but when she turned around, she saw Shen Qing standing there in a daze, and quickly pushed him: "Go quickly! Don't let him run around, there are so many zombies outside!"

Shen Qing: "? Ah? Oh oh!"

Seeing Shen Qing chasing after him, Qu Weiwei breathed a sigh of relief: She really worried too much, this family can't do without her!

The last time she talked to Song Kaiji, Qu Weiwei thought that there was nothing wrong with the two of them, and that Song Kaiji was just a fool. But recently, after observing them, Qu Weiwei really felt that these two people seemed to be a bit interesting: just to say that last time Song Kaiji blocked the mutant plants for Shen Qing, it was not something that an ordinary employee would do to his boss.

Although it doesn't seem to be love yet, if she were to say it, or most people in the apocalypse would think like this: it's the apocalypse, who knows if we can still be alive tomorrow, if we like each other, we should break the window paper as soon as possible, can we give each other a happy ending. Otherwise, if we hesitate and don't express our feelings today, and get bitten by zombies tomorrow, won't we regret it for the rest of our lives?

These two are still flirting and teasing each other like two innocent elementary school students. Or maybe they are too full and lack some sense of crisis of the end of the world.

Qu Weiwei shook her head and planted a seed that grew broad leaves to cover the window gaps in the room, trying not to spread the human scent and attract more zombies: I wonder if these two people will make any progress this time?

The Rainbow City Base behind them.

A researcher in a white coat looked at the handful of celery in his hand excitedly, and instructed the wood-type mutant next to him: "Catalyze it twice more and see what the seeds look like!"

As the green light of the supernatural power lit up, the celery seeds in the supernatural person's hand quickly sprouted, grew, and aged... and finally produced new seeds.

"It's still a little worse than what we wanted, maybe because of the lack of pollination?" There is still a difference between supernatural catalysis and natural growth. For example, in the past few decades in rural areas, seeds had to be planted for a few seasons before buying new ones, or exchanging them with other villages. Frequent pollination is necessary to have a good harvest, otherwise the yield will gradually decrease, and supernatural catalysis is even worse.

But this was already surprising enough! The white coat's eyes lit up: "Where did this celery come from?"

An administrative staff member of the research institute was sitting next to him: "A few days ago, my wife passed by the flea market outside the base and saw a woman selling." It was a coincidence that as a staff member of the research institute, he has always had very good welfare benefits. All kinds of grains and food are supplied directly to his home by the farm, and his family does not need to go out to buy them.

His wife usually never leaves the base. On that day, the kids were clamoring to play games, so his wife looked for several people selling electronic products in the base, but couldn't find any tablets or mobile phones with the game downloaded on them, so she decided to try her luck outside.

There are classes in every era. Even in the end times, when it seems that everything has been reshuffled, some people’s children are dying in tents outside the base, while others are throwing tantrums because they can’t play a game.

As a result, I met the woman selling celery.

Because the farm hadn't delivered celery recently, his wife bought some to try out, thinking that she might as well try it. She was still thinking, there was celery everywhere but not at home, was it because the farm staff neglected her? She also had some thoughts of going home and complaining to her husband.

Having been dealing with seeds on the farm for most of the year, the administrator tasted it as soon as he got home. This was not celery produced by the official farm or the research institute farm. Due to his keen sense of smell, he picked up the rhizomes thrown in the trash can and gave them to the wood-type mutant to induce growth: "This is the kind we are looking for. The yield is low and the taste is not so good. It is like the wild celery we ate in the countryside when we were young. But it is stable and we can keep seeds for ourselves. We can induce growth a few more times to get more samples, and then combine them with the previous vegetable seeds. Maybe we can cultivate a new variety that has the best of both worlds."

The man in the white coat did not respond. Instead, he held the celery and looked at it from left to right, his glasses gleaming with shrewdness: "Where did that woman get the celery seeds? Have you found out her identity?"

"It wasn't traded in the base, so we can't find it right away." The administrator hesitated. "Someone said that they had encountered this woman selling celery before. She also sold other vegetables, such as radishes and cabbages. But our own farm also produces these, so we didn't pay attention to them. We thought she got the goods through the farm's relationship. Some people said that the woman looked like a wood-type mutant who worked at the third farm before."

"But some people say they don't look like her, and their ages don't match. Others say the wood-type mutant died in the mutant willow riot. We've been keeping an eye on this Celery since we found her, but she hasn't shown up recently. I wonder if she noticed we were looking for her."

Since Qu Weiwei joined Shen Qing's team, she has been eating well, sleeping well, and using essences and creams worth hundreds of dollars. In just over a month, she has become a new person. Even when she is dressed simply, she is still radiant. Her former colleagues may not even recognize her if they meet her face to face.

Plus, sometimes it wasn't her who went to sell, but Tang's mother. Nowadays, there are no cameras to check, and only through people's memory and word of mouth, this woman selling vegetables has become even more mysterious.

"We have to investigate." The man in the white coat put down the celery with a determined smile on his face. "A superpower from the third farm? That's for sure. Maybe she stole the seeds carefully cultivated by our institute and escaped... Otherwise, where did her seeds come from? Maybe she has more good stuff in her hands."
