Chapter 47, We'll Always Meet
He chopped off the head of the man in charge with a single blow. Si Xu shook off the blood from the knife and shouted, "Everyone, don't move."
His voice was not loud, but strangely it reached everyone's ears.
As if the pause button was pressed, the noisy crowd instantly quieted down.
"Liu! Brother Liu!" After the smoke and dust dispersed, the assistant discovered that there was another body at his feet. The man's body swayed and fell to the ground. "What, what is going on..."
"I killed him." The young man standing nearby said calmly, "I think if he hadn't died, you wouldn't have listened to me at ease... and I hate people who don't listen the most."
I don't like it, so I kill it.
The assistant trembled and took two steps back. He controlled the weakness in his legs and struggled to stand up.
"You...you two guys!" Based on the scene before him, the assistant could only think of one possibility, "Are you sent by Xiling Base to clean up the mess?!"
"Clearing the house?" Si Xu asked, "Did you come from the Xiling base?"
"Haha, now that things have come to this, why are you still pretending?!"
Si Xu's expression remained calm. "We did leave Xiling Base, but we weren't here to clean up. We just saw the sign you put up and came over out of curiosity to take a look."
"Curious?" The assistant didn't believe him. "Out of curiosity, why did they kill people as soon as they arrived at our base?"
Si Xu said calmly, "If your people want to touch my people, I will naturally kill them."
Knowing that Lao Zhu was a womanizer, the assistant glanced at the girl next to the man - she had a great figure and a beautiful appearance.
In his heart, he believed Si Xu's words 70% to 80%, but he just smiled coldly: "In the end times, who is the woman? Whoever has the ability, the woman belongs to him..."
"Yes." Si Xu smiled slightly, "I have the ability, so I killed him."
assistant:"……"
"I can also kill all of you." Si Xu raised his eyebrows and smiled with childish malice, waving his Tang Dao in a flower pattern. "Just like I chopped off your boss's head, I'll chop off all of your heads."
"How dare you!" The more casual the tone, the more threatening it became. The assistant quickly retreated and hid behind the two psychics. "There are so many of us here, one person's spit can drown you!"
"Even with all of you attacking me together just now, I still managed to come out unscathed." Si Xu said leisurely as the sharp blade drew a brilliant arc in the air. "Attacking one by one? Or all at once?"
The psychics on the opposite side looked at each other, and no one moved for a while.
"You don't want to go?" Si Xu said, "That's fine. Answer my questions and I'll let you go."
The assistant blurted out, "Wha, what's the problem?"
"Why did you escape from Xiling Base?" Si Xu asked. "Escape is fine, but why did you choose to set up a base here?"
"This..." Many of the people with special abilities joined the base after it was established. When they heard this question, they looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.
The assistant licked his lips nervously and replied, "We left Xiling Base because, of course, we were unhappy with what was going on there! Why would we stay there if we were unhappy? Are we waiting to be bullied?"
"So you set up a base here to mislead those heading to Xiling Base?" Si Xu sighed boredly, "You really have too much free time."
"What do you know?!" the assistant shouted harshly. "We came out with the Second Team of the Superpower Brigade, and we ran into a swarm of superpower zombies. That bastard Shen Yang, as the team leader, didn't think about how to protect his own team, and instead had his subordinates push our small team out to lure the zombies out. What's the point of staying in a base like this?"
"Chen Yang..." After hearing this name, Si Xu completely lost interest in this base.
He put away the Tang sword and said to Jiang Ran: "Let's go back."
The man sighed in boredom and murmured, "How boring."
Jiang Ran followed him for two steps, looked back at the young man who was talking to them, and stopped.
Si Xu stopped and asked: "What?"
After a moment's thought, Jiang Ran asked the assistant hiding behind the crowd, "How do you make a living here?"
This base was built near the Xiling base. The available supplies in the nearby cities had long been plundered by the Xiling base's special power team. How did this base support so many people and how did they survive?
"I see no high-level psychics among you." From the strength with which these people attacked Si Xu, it could be seen that there were no high-level psychics here. "If that's the case, where do you get the supplies to sustain your lives?"
Moreover, the word this person just said made her very concerned.
He said, clean up the house.
What did the people in this base do to deserve the term "cleaning up the house"?
Upon hearing this question, the assistant's eyes flashed with panic. He swallowed, looked up, and said, "Of course, of course, the psychics went out to collect it!"
Evading eyes, pale and trembling face, clenched fists... this person is lying.
Jiang Ran didn't expose him immediately: "Now that we're here and the misunderstanding has been resolved, do you mind if we take a tour of the base?"
"No! You..."
The spatial blade flew past the man's hair and with a snap, it cut off a thick tree trunk not far away.
"If you really want to visit, it's not impossible..." A drop of cold sweat slid down his temple, and the man abruptly changed his words.
Ignoring Si Xu's threats, Jiang Ran smiled naively: "Then please arrange for someone to take us there. Thank you."
assistant:"……"
He glanced around and waved to one of the psychics he trusted. When the psychic came closer, he said, "Xiao Yu, take these two guests on a tour of our base."
Xiao Yu lowered his head and replied, "Okay."
"Remember to introduce it clearly and carefully, okay?" The emphasis is on "carefully and clearly".
Xiao Yu and the assistant exchanged glances, understanding each other. "I know."
…
The base doesn't cover a large area and there are no lights at night. Occasionally, you can see swaying figures - probably people on night patrol.
Xiao Yu took the two of them on a tour and briefly introduced the situation in the base.
"Hey? What's that over there?" After passing the villagers' residential area, Jiang Ran saw a building standing tall in the night not far away. "Warehouse?"
"Ah? That?" Xiao Yu replied perfunctorily, "It's a warehouse used to store supplies at the base. Nothing to see."
"Nothing to see?" Jiang Ran squinted his eyes for a moment and said to Si Xu, "Shall we go take a look?"
Want to go check it out? What's there to see?
Xiao Yu stood in front of Jiang Ran and said with a forced smile: "The warehouse contains the most important resources of the base. Outsiders are not allowed to enter casually."
"It's okay. If your supervisor scolds you, just say we had to go there." Jiang Ran said with a smile, and took Si Xu's hand, "Come on, Si Xu, let's go over and take a look."
Indulging the little girl's willfulness, Si Xu put his arm around her waist, jumped over the man standing in front of him, stepped on the moonlight, and landed steadily in front of the warehouse.
"Hey! You two guys!"
A man's roar could be heard from afar.
Si Xu ignored him and swung his knife to cut the chain on the warehouse door and pushed the door open.
The warehouse was divided into two spaces, front and back, by partitions. The first thing you see when you open the door is various boxes and rice bags piled outside.
The wind blew by, carrying with it a strange, sweet, and fishy smell. Si Xu glanced at Jiang Ran, who was full of curiosity, and grabbed the girl's wrist: "Jiang Ran, there's no need to go in."
Feeling something was amiss, Jiang Ran peeked inside but found nothing unusual: "Si Xu, do you smell any strange smell in the air?"
"Hmm, it smells like blood."
"The smell of blood?" Jiang Ran blurted out, "Could it be that the cell where they hold the prisoners?"
Perhaps it was a place even more terrifying than a prison cell. Si Xu moved his lips, looked into the girl's bright eyes, and somewhat abnormally did not answer her immediately.
"Si Xu?" Jiang Ran asked doubtfully, "Did I say something wrong?"
It was rare to see him with such a cold expression. Jiang Ran suddenly felt a little uneasy, thinking that he had said something wrong.
"No."
While the two were talking, Xiao Yu had already arrived.
The man glared at the two of them and said impatiently, "They said this is just a warehouse! We've seen it all! Please go back!"
Neither of them moved, as if they hadn't heard his order to leave.
"I'm telling you two! You don't understand what I'm saying..."
The angry shouting stopped abruptly.
The man fell backward with his mouth open, his eyes staring blankly at the night sky, and he stopped breathing.
Si Xu killed again... Realizing that things might not be as simple as he thought, Jiang Ran hesitantly let go of Si Xu's hand and walked quickly into the warehouse.
In the end times, people's hearts are unpredictable and the world is cruel. The little girl in his family will always experience all kinds of dangers before she can clearly understand the true face of this doomsday.
Si Xu did not stop Jiang Ran's actions.
He stood at the door, waiting for her to come out.
…
Jiang Ran didn't stay in the inner warehouse for more than three seconds before leaving.
The girl covered her mouth, avoided the young man waiting at the door, and ran to the corner to retch.
It was all people... The warehouse was full of people, or more accurately, various parts of the human body, as well as cleanly shaved bones, neatly placed aside.
…
Jiang Ran didn't eat anything at night, so all she vomited was acid. But the girl didn't stop, as if she wanted to vomit out the horrifying scene she had just seen.
When she fell silent, Si Xu walked over to her, opened a bottle of mineral water and handed it to her.
He didn't say anything. Jiang Ran stroked his chest, took the mineral water, drank a sip and rinsed his mouth.
She repeated the action of rinsing her mouth several times, then poured water on her hands and rubbed the backs of her hands vigorously, as if she wanted to wash off a layer of skin.
It's so disgusting, that strong fishy smell, so disgusting.
Even after leaving the warehouse, she could still smell the bloody smell on her body that lingered for a long time.
So disgusting.
"That's enough, Jiang Ran." Grabbing the girl's hand, Si Xu carefully wiped the water off her hand with a handkerchief and said softly, "I will kill them."
He already knew what was going on inside, so when she said it was a prison cell, he surprisingly didn't respond.
He knew it, but still let her in to face the cruel truth.
Jiang Ran's body felt slightly hot due to the intense emotional ups and downs. Her eyes were red as she reached out and hugged the person next to her tightly.
At this moment, she really thanked God in her heart for allowing her to come to this world and meet Si Xu.
Being torn apart by zombies, hunted by mutant beasts, and persecuted by others... Because she was by his side, these crises were far away from her.
He gave her the best protection and the greatest freedom, and tried his best to let her live like before the end of the world.
Her self-righteous "pre-apocalyptic" life.
However, the end of the world is the end of the world, even if it is just a fictional novel. In places beyond the author's pen, the people of this world have lived in all the forms that should exist in the end of the world.
Whether they are positive, gentle and kind, or depressed, brutal and vicious... people of all kinds live in every corner of this world.
You will meet it one day. You will meet it.
