Lü Siqin breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to look at Qin Bai with a happy expression: "Brother Qin Bai, I did it!"
“Well, since you have the ability to deal with the ice corpses, then I can hand them over to you.”
"ah?"
Afterwards, Qin Bai told her the location of the shelter and gave her some instructions about the orbs of light, especially that if she encountered a black orb or a black-and-white orb, she should leave immediately.
Only white orbs of light can yield good items, though other colored orbs may appear as well; it's up to her to decide.
"Brother Qin Bai, I can't do it alone."
Lu Siqin was very worried. She had only just become a superhuman and was already taking on such an important responsibility.
"Don't worry, you can do it."
After all, you are the future Sword Emperor.
Qin Bai patted her shoulder, then looked at the old teacher: "Lü Siqin needs your help in other areas. I only have one request: don't let her get entangled in so-called social niceties. Do you understand what I mean?"
The old teacher nodded. He could see that Qin Bai valued Lü Siqin, and Lü Siqin also made everyone understand through her actions that she was a person with superpowers.
After saying goodbye, Qin Bai got on the sled pulled by the husky and headed towards his original residential area.
For some reason, Qin Bai had a feeling that those two people might still be in the neighborhood.
On the way, Qin Bai suddenly encountered a group of people who seemed to be heading to another place.
Those people saw Qin Bai pulling a sled with a husky and looked over curiously.
"Young man, where are you going?"
An old man asked.
"I have something to do back home. What's up, sir?"
Qin Bai countered with a question.
"Oh, we heard on the radio that there's a shelter outside the city, so we thought we'd go together and maybe find a safe place."
"Aren't you afraid of encountering danger on the road with so many of you?"
Qin Bai looked at the composition of the team. The majority of them were elderly, there were very few young people, and the majority were middle-aged.
The old man smiled and said in a nonchalant tone, "It's already good that I've lived this long, but if I could live a little longer, I don't think anyone would refuse."
"As for the danger, we also know that we may encounter ice corpses on the way, so we have made preparations in advance. As long as someone attracts the ice corpses, the others can take the opportunity to escape."
"The speed of the ice corpse is about the same as ours. As long as the distance is far enough, it won't catch up."
Qin Bai understood the implication in their words: they were prepared to use human lives to deal with the possible appearance of ice corpses!
But how many lives would it take to get them safely to the shelter?
Throughout this apocalyptic world, Qin Bai had witnessed countless acts that challenged the limits of humanity. But here, for the first time, he saw the brilliance of humanity.
Qin Bai didn't say anything, but bid them farewell and wished them a safe journey to the shelter.
"Young man, then I'll take your kind words."
The old man chuckled and said that the group continued moving forward.
Qin Bai then returned to his residential compound, where there was not a soul in sight, and the entire compound was utterly silent.
After they left with a group of people, only a portion of the elderly remained, who wanted to stay and wait to die.
Qin Bai didn't know their current situation; perhaps they were still alive, or perhaps they had all starved to death.
But when he went to the door of an old man's house according to his memory, he found that the door was open and no one lived inside.
Most importantly, he saw frozen bloodstains on the ground.
It was obvious that something had happened to the elderly man.
Qin Bai frowned slightly. He went to the homes of other elderly people and found the same bloodstains there.
He didn't continue looking; he figured all the old people here were probably dead.
They didn't starve to death; they were killed.
Qin Bai thought for a moment, and then thought of someone.
That person was the one who came looking for Jiang Haochang before, but ended up dying at his hands.
If he did it, then Qin Bai would have avenged these old people.
Qin Bai walked around the neighborhood but found no trace of the frozen corpse.
"Could there be any clues where they live?"
Thinking of this, Qin Bai went to the house where Qiao Lianyi and the other person used to live.
The door was locked, but Qin Bai cleaved it in two with a single stroke.
He went inside and began to inspect their rooms.
He soon noticed something: there were fewer clothes here!
Qin Bai couldn't help but smile. Sure enough, they had come back, but he didn't know when.
"I didn't expect them to have acquired wisdom so early, just like Zhang Han."
Qin Bai didn't linger. The world was so big; finding them would be like finding a needle in a haystack.
However, Qin Bai knew very well that if the two women knew his location, they would definitely come to cause him trouble, or even kill him, no matter what.
How can we let them know our location?
Clearly, the shelter's broadcast system is the best method.
Unfortunately, the entire city was without power, making it difficult to broadcast the news throughout the city and let the two girls know.
"It seems the only way is to increase my brand awareness; that should get them to know."
Qin Bai thought to himself.
Since it was getting dark soon, he decided to go back home and spend the night there before returning the next day.
At his speed, he should be able to catch up with Lü Siqin and the rest of the group by tomorrow.
"Huh? It's the Mid-Autumn Festival today?"
Qin Bai suddenly realized that today was the Mid-Autumn Festival. He immediately gave up the idea of having a big meal and took out various flavors of mooncakes from his infinite space. He ate them while admiring the full moon outside.
"Woof?"
The husky stared at the mooncakes in its dog bowl, its head full of question marks.
After eating and drinking his fill, Qin Bai went to bed to rest.
But at some point in the night, he suddenly opened his eyes.
Because he heard someone knocking on the door!
What's going on? Isn't there no one alive in the neighborhood?
However, Qin Bai, who had been through countless battles, was not afraid. If it was a living person, that would be fine, but if it was an ice corpse, he would send it on its way!
Qin Bai took out the Tiger Soul Blade and slowly walked to the door. Sure enough, he could clearly hear someone knocking on the door, and it was quite rhythmic.
Who's outside?
Qin Bai shouted.
Suddenly, the knocking stopped.
Just as Qin Bai thought the other party was an ice corpse, a somewhat familiar voice came from outside the door.
"Good brother, it hasn't been that long, and you've already forgotten me?"
Upon hearing this familiar address, Qin Bai felt a chill run down his spine.
The memories that had died attacked Qin Bai once again.
