Chapter 227 A Chance Encounter
He paused, then added, "Tell them to hurry. The commotion here can't be kept secret for long."
This energy pool not only produces a large number of high-level crystal cores, but it is also the key to his research.
"Yes, sir!" one of the team members immediately accepted the order, but hesitated for a moment, "Professor, we only have five people left. It's too dangerous for you to stay here..."
"Execute the order." Fu Jinxing's tone was calm, yet carried an inherent authority. "Until you bring your men here, we only need to observe and wait."
Without saying another word, the team member quickly and quietly led the other two away, preparing to rush back to the base that night.
For the next two days, Fu Jinxing and the five team members who stayed behind remained hidden in the ruins like stone statues, taking turns to keep watch.
They watched as the horde of zombies wandered aimlessly around the energy pool, howling and occasionally even tearing at each other to fight for a spot closer to the pool, a menacing sight.
On the morning of the third day, the sky was overcast with low-hanging leaden clouds.
Fu Jinxing was holding up his binoculars, habitually recording the zombies' activity patterns, when a team member suddenly approached, his voice tense: "Professor, someone is approaching from nine o'clock! About seven or eight people, and their energy fluctuations are not weak!"
Fu Jinxing immediately turned the binoculars around.
A group of people could be seen at the broken wall surrounding the park.
The man in the lead was tall and had a wary and shrewd expression.
He was standing close to a fashionable woman dressed in a way that was clearly out of place in the post-apocalyptic world, and behind them were several male superhumans with different expressions.
Their goal was clear, and they were obviously drawn here by this unusual energy.
Fu Jinxing's brows slowly furrowed.
He made a quick decision and ordered the team members behind him: "You two stay here and watch out for anyone else approaching. If anyone does, try to distract them."
After saying that, he turned to the others and said, "You, and you, come with me."
Now that they've arrived first, we can't let others get close and discover the secrets of this place so easily.
At the park entrance, a decaying iron gate hangs askew to one side.
The stench of decay mixed with a cacophony of other unpleasant smells was nauseating.
Shen Qianqian covered her nose, her beautiful features scrunched up, and complained in a sweet voice, "Oh my god! It stinks here! And there are so many disgusting zombies crammed in here. Brother Qin Feng, why did we have to come to a place like this?"
She clung to Qin Feng's arm, her body almost hanging on him, her face full of reluctance.
Qin Feng originally only wanted to search for humans with special abilities, but when he got to this area, he felt that something was wrong.
Many of the zombies in the park are evolved zombies.
His eyes scrutinized: "So many high-level zombies gathered here, that's not normal. Let's go in and take a look."
"I don't want to, it's disgusting."
Qin Feng was a little impatient, but he held back. "Be good, just go in and take a look. We'll be leaving soon."
When Shen Qianqian saw the hideous-looking zombies, her face fell: "Then...then you go ahead, I'll wait for you outside, I'm so scared..."
How could Qin Feng possibly let her leave his side, much less risk his life alone?
He wrapped his arms around Shen Qianqian's waist, and amidst her gasp, he lowered his head and kissed her cheek deeply, his voice gentle yet brooking no refusal: "Be good, let's go together. How can I leave you out alone? Hmm?"
These affectionate gestures and words of "concern" pleased Shen Qianqian. Her cheeks flushed, and she playfully punched him, but ultimately nodded obediently.
In his mind, the system's mechanical notification sounded coldly: [Target Qin Feng's admiration level: 20%, unchanged. Warning to the host: Your behavior is more likely to lead to being won over.]
Shen Qianqian scoffed: "What do you know? He cares about me and depends on me!"
The system is silent.
Seeing her nod, Qin Feng's eyes flashed with a barely perceptible sneer. He then ordered the men behind him, whose faces were not very pleasant, "Get ready, we're going to clear a path in."
The men exchanged glances, their expressions complex.
They were more or less attracted by Shen Qianqian's charm and relied on the scarce resources she occasionally provided, but faced with such a dense horde of high-level zombies, they instinctively felt fear and resistance.
However, before they could make a move, a clear and calm male voice came from behind them.
"I'm afraid this road is blocked."
Qin Feng and his group turned around abruptly.
Four people emerged from behind the broken Roman column.
The man at the head of the group was tall and imposing, dressed in a well-tailored dark combat uniform. He had a handsome face and wore gold-rimmed glasses. His gaze behind the lenses was calm and sharp, and he exuded a powerful aura that could not be underestimated, along with a kind of ascetic academic air.
The two superhumans following behind him also had cold expressions and solid energy fluctuations.
Shen Qianqian's eyes widened instantly, and her heart pounded!
Top-notch!
Another exceptional man!
Handsome, powerful, and with a unique charisma!
And... he's not Josie's man!
Almost instantly, a powerful thought took over her mind—this man is mine!
"Why is this road blocked?" Qin Feng squinted at him.
Fu Jinxing stepped forward and said, "This is a zombie abode with many high-level zombies. If your small group goes in, you'll be devoured to the bone."
Shen Qianqian turned pale with fright and immediately grabbed Qin Feng's hand, saying, "Qin Feng, let's not go in, let's go around."
"If it's so dangerous, why are you here?" Qin Feng didn't believe him with any sentimentality.
“We are survivors from other cities. We arrived in this city due to a lack of supplies and discovered that something was wrong with this park.”
After saying that, he nodded to the group and said politely, "We are all human beings, I will lead you there."
Qin Feng did not refuse, but his gaze was clearly fixed on Qin Feng's back.
Fu Jinxing acted flawlessly throughout, appearing to be just a kind-hearted human being.
Fu Jinxing had originally tried to lead them to the edge of the city, but at that moment, Shen Qianqian's voice came from behind: "Qin Feng, I can't walk anymore, let's find a place to rest first."
Shen Qianqian glanced at the man in front of her, not really wanting to leave so soon.
Qin Feng...
Fu Jinxing paused for a moment.
"Okay, Qianqian is tired, let's take a rest."
Shen Qianqian happily called out to the group leading the way, "Wait, let's rest for a bit. Come and sit down too. Are you hungry? I have some food here."
Shen Qianqian greeted them warmly, but her gaze remained fixed on Fu Jinxing.
Fu Jinxing turned around, seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then said, "No need, we're not hungry."
After saying that, in front of Shen Qianqian, Qin Feng and the others, he said to the three superhumans beside him, "It will probably take some time for me to take them out of the city. You go back and tell the people left behind that I will return after I bring these survivors to a safe area."
“But Coach Fu…” The team member looked worried and tried to dissuade him.
