The next morning, it was still raining heavily, but Lin Qingqing decided to set off.
Old Tan had a high fever overnight, but his superpowers didn't activate and he didn't turn into a zombie. It was like he had a bad cold, his hands and feet were weak and his head was dizzy.
Ji Xiao was still sleeping. The frost on his body had disappeared. His body temperature was below 35 degrees, and the temperature gun couldn't even show it!
Doctor Lin examined him carefully and was relieved to see that his vital signs were stable.
She found a small medicine bottle, poured some crystal cores into it, and told Big Ear, "Wait until Old Tan calms down, then continue feeding him. Just use the first-level ones."
Big Ears appeared calm on the surface, but his hands were shaking as he took the bottle. "I understand."
His voice was also trembling. When he wiped the sweat off Old Tan's body yesterday, he had already discovered that Old Tan's wound had become inflamed repeatedly, but the fool just endured it and didn't say anything.
Therefore, even if Lin Qingqing didn't say it, Big Ear knew that there was danger hidden in Old Tan's body.
"Then it's settled. We'll wait for you in the orange orchard. You must come back." Big Ears seemed to have grown several years older overnight, and his every move and gesture had the calm and composed demeanor of a big boss.
Lin Qingqing nodded. She also wanted to come back, but it was hard to say.
After unloading some of the supplies to Big Ear, she got into Liu Qiang's car and refused to let anyone else go.
That place was full of unknowns, and Lin Qingqing didn't have the nerve to let others accompany her to die.
Lin Qingqing didn't even want to take Liu Qiang with her, but she knew that Liu Qiang wouldn't agree to her going alone. The two of them had been together for so long that they had become close friends.
--------------------
It was not until the afternoon that the mud-covered car arrived near the botanical garden.
The journey wasn’t actually too far, but the roads had been washed away by the rain, and there were landslides in many places.
After the car was unable to pass, Lin Qingqing tried to put the car into the space, and the two walked a lot of the road.
After entering the national highway, there were no military patrols, but sporadic zombies appeared!
It was inconvenient to use the car at this time, so Lin Qingqing had to take the car back again. The two of them walked into the botanical garden in the rain.
"Right here!"
Lin Qingqing stopped under a tree. This was the secluded place where the spicy snack boy had brought her last time.
You can see the island in the middle of the lake, and you can hide in the bushes.
Liu Qiang's eyes narrowed into slits. He raised his hand, drew a circle in the air, and said in a positive tone, "It's an arc."
"What arc?" Lin Qingqing looked up at him, a little puzzled.
The freezing rain slapped her cheeks, turning her lips white. When Liu Qiang saw this, his brows knitted into knots.
"The straight-line distance from Old Tan's house to here is less than five kilometers." Liu Qiang said, pulling Lin Qingqing back without saying anything.
"Qiao Mingyang hasn't arrived yet, let's go back to the car first."
Lin Qingqing pursed her lips and said, "No, the last time I came here, they had people coming in and out frequently. Your car is too conspicuous to be taken out."
"It's just a little rain, I'm not that squeamish." There was a stubborn look in her eyes.
The key point is that her space is small. Every time she stuffs the car in and takes it out, the things inside become a mess.
Liu Qiang felt helpless, "But we can't just stand here in the rain, right?"
That was true, and Lin Qingqing didn't have any tendency to be masochistic. The two of them left the woods of the botanical garden and walked towards the park entrance.
"What do you mean when you say it's only about five kilometers from here to Old Tan's house? Do you suspect that the lake under the cave is connected to this side?" Lin Qingqing tightened her raincoat and asked Liu Qiang.
"That's possible... Old Tan mentioned before that their lake used to be a pond, and their ancestors smuggled kiln wares. Maybe there's a secret waterway."
Ah! Lin Qingqing thought about it and felt that this was possible.
I felt a little regretful that I shouldn't have been so anxious to feed Old Tan Jinghe yesterday.
She had chatted with Big Ear yesterday, but she didn't ask Old Tan much about Cave Lake.
It’s probably because my heart rejects that perverted place!
Lin Qingqing was feeling annoyed when she heard some unusual movement coming from the distant gate.
The howling of zombies and the screams of humans came one after another, and almost at the same time, gunshots rang out.
Lin Qingqing and Liu Qiang looked at each other, then both crouched down and hid themselves in the bushes.
A moment later, several ragged and disheveled men and women staggered in.
Bang, bang, bang—
Someone shot them in the back!
The few survivors were hit one after another. They didn't even seem to have the strength to scream, and fell down like wooden stakes.
The few remaining people were surrounded by the pursuers, and the leader sneered disdainfully: "Humph! Run! Why don't you run anymore?"
"Han Jin! I won't let you go even if I become a ghost!" One of the survivors cursed with gritted teeth and rushed towards the leader.
There was a bang of a gunshot.
Before the man could pounce, he was shot in the head!
"Become a ghost? You are dreaming! Who has the chance to become a ghost now?" Han Jin sneered and stepped on the corpse.
"Brother, I advise you to hand over the things quickly! Otherwise, all your men will die because of you!"
Before Captain Han could reply, a middle-aged woman beside him pushed him and said, "Captain Han, get out of here! ... You bastard! I'm going to fight you!"
The middle-aged woman rushed towards the gun with the courage to face death.
Lin Qingqing stared at the gunmen wearing black raincoats, and always felt that their clothing styles were familiar.
"Help! I'm in the middle and second from the left."
Seeing that the woman was about to die at the gunpoint, Lin Qingqing called out to Liu Qiang.
Her special ability was activated instantly.
Han Jin still had a wicked smile on his face when he heard a bang!
Severe pain spread from the palm of my hand!
The barrel exploded!
A part of the gun body flew out and pierced his palm!
Suddenly, blood gushed out!
He wanted to scream, but was horrified to find that no sound came out of his throat.
The intact hand subconsciously tried to touch his throat, but only extended halfway before the whole person lost consciousness and fell face first to the ground.
Bang, bang, bang—
The second after Lin Qingqing took action, Liu Qiang fired a gun.
He was a very good shooter and could almost shoot in the head with one blow. The three people on the right were knocked down instantly by him.
The two people on the left had their throats cut by the blade that Lin Qingqing shot out at the same time.
The few survivors present were so surprised that they were speechless!
"Captain Han, we meet again!" Lin Qingqing walked over.
The person who had just been threatened was none other than Captain Han, the team she had formed during her only mission at the base. It was the kindhearted Teacher Song who had invited her to join the team. Captain Han had been reluctant, but had agreed.
Later, on May 15, they met the corpse transport team outside the city gate, and Lin Qingqing also provided them with some food.
"Ah! It's you!... Thank you so much..." Captain Han was thin, with sunken eye sockets and no flesh on his face. He was deeply impressed by Lin Qingqing.
After thanking Lin Qingqing, he looked at Han Jin's body on the ground with a complicated look.
This is his half-brother!
"Qingqing, this is the man who robbed my car." Liu Qiang kicked Han Jin's body and complained to Lin Qingqing.
On the way to the base, these people saw Qian's mother showing off her wealth and wanted to rob her.
At that time, Qian's mother scolded Lin Qingqing for bringing back a zombie head.
When the zombies attacked, everyone evacuated, and Lin Qingqing left in the car of the Qiao brothers and sisters.
Later, Liu Qiang and his men still couldn't escape this disaster. He was with the Qian family and had to give up resistance to protect their lives.
Ps: Some of the explanations in the previous article are because some of the little ones have been following the series for a long time and have forgotten the relationships between the characters.
