“Wenwen…Wenwen!”
"It's all your dad's fault. We won't go to the base anymore. When you get better, we'll resign. We quit!"
"How could a good girl from our family be beaten like this..."
It was her mother who screamed in her arms. Yue Xiwen tiredly tried to move her fingers, only to find that her entire body was in a tearing pain from top to bottom. Unconvinced, she pushed her fingers harder, but even moving them was met with a pain comparable to a broken bone.
I stared at the parts of my body that weren't covered by the quilt. There wasn't a single wound on my skin, so why was it so painful...
"Wenwen, don't move. Several healing psychics have come, and we even used all the hospital's equipment to heal you to your current state."
She glanced around the room and saw only her father looking at her worriedly beside her mother.
"Wenwen, it's dad's fault. Dad shouldn't have let you enter the base..." Zhou Tonghai's tone was full of regret, annoyance and self-blame.
It's hard for any parent to see their daughter like this.
Yue Xiwen opened her mouth and wanted to say that she was fine, but her throat was dry and she couldn't say anything.
"She went out to rescue the soldiers..."
After getting the answer he wanted, the rest of the words gradually became unclear and Yue Xiwen fell asleep again.
M80 watched his host killing and killing again. She had saved many people and killed many zombies in the past few days, killing so many that it was trembling with fear.
[Host...take it easy, I'm scared.]
Xie Pu Rou ignored him until she had finished killing the zombies. Then she asked leisurely, "How can I end the apocalypse?"
M80's small eyes flickered: "How about you upgrade your B&B to level nine first?"
She paused and took a sip of water. Just thinking about building something made her restless. Now all she could think about was killing zombies.
"Let's talk about it later."
[Host! Upgrading is important! ! ! ]
Xie Pu Rou replied nonchalantly, "I understand."
She had to upgrade, but ever since she saw Yue Xiwen seriously injured, she just couldn't calm down.
She would feel so sad if her friends were injured, not to mention how many people's families, relatives, and friends are living in fear every day that among the dead there are people they care about.
If she was just completing missions before, now she really wants to end the apocalypse as soon as possible.
She suddenly thought of something and asked, "Does my completing the mission have anything to do with ending the apocalypse?"
M80 gave a definite answer: [Yes.]
Xie Purou immediately thought of the mysterious fragment, probably related to completing the mission.
"Okay, I understand."
Hiding the emotions in her eyes, she couldn't help but feel that the road ahead was bleak.
Although she wanted to end the mission, she didn't even know how to end it.
Since the day she sent Yue Xiwen back to the B&B for treatment, she has been on the road to rescue survivors.
The survivors were rescued one group after another, and now it has been the sixth day.
Since the day she left the base to recruit reinforcements, the base has banned survivors from entering or leaving the base.
Considering the time that has passed since the acid rain, it would be futile to continue searching.
Xie Purou checked her current location and realized that she had walked so far without realizing it. She was quite some distance away from the B&B.
It’s just right that I don’t take shortcuts. I set a route back to the B&B and can think about how to build it on the way.
She nestled comfortably in the sofa, holding her tablet as usual. Normally, she would be overwhelmed with thoughts as soon as she got into work mode, but she was looking at the video on her phone that Yue Xiwen's parents had sent her about Yue Xiwen's current condition.
The person in the video was physically intact, just like the girl who was chatting and laughing with him more than ten days ago.
But the paleness on her face could not be concealed no matter what she did. It was as if her former vitality was covered by a filter.
Xie Purou had seen with her own eyes how good Yue Xiwen's physique was as a superpower, but this time she had to lie in bed for three days after being cured, and she would fall asleep again after being awake for a while.
Based on her understanding of Yue Xiwen, if she could hold on, she would definitely report everything she encountered to the base without revealing any details.
But she just said a few key words briefly and continued to sleep, which shows how serious the injury was.
Thinking of the scene of her lying in a pool of blood, Xie Pu Rou scratched her hair and became even more irritated.
Damn zombies, damn it!
She really couldn't concentrate and didn't want to force herself, so she planned to take a nap.
"If you meet a living person on the road, remind me and I will take a nap."
[Good host.] M80 didn't dare to offend her, so now it would agree with whatever she said.
I tried hard to empty my mind and soon fell asleep.
In a daze, Xie Purou heard M80 reminding her to get up. She thought she was dreaming, and only after M80 reminded her again and again did she jump out of bed.
"Are there any survivors ahead?"
【yes.】
"How many?"
[Only one case was detected: a middle-aged female with unknown medical condition.]
I lifted the curtain that blocked out the outside light and observed the outside world. "Are there any buildings nearby? How could there be people in a place like this?"
Or a middle-aged woman?
After a few seconds, M80 replied again: [Yes, a middle-aged woman. It seems there are also zombies...?]
A middle-aged woman with a zombie? Now even it doesn't believe me.
What the hell?! A forbidden love? Humans and zombies? A domineering zombie's love?
The RV stopped steadily, and Xie Purou stood firmly on the ground, "Show me the way."
As soon as she finished speaking, a green sign appeared in front of her, guiding her in a certain direction.
Following the instructions, she came to a completely flat place. For the first time, Xie Purou began to doubt Tongzi. "Look at this flat area. Is she on top of me or below me?"
M80 is getting anxious, how dare you question its professionalism! !
[Right under the host's feet! ]
Xie Purou moved her feet, squatted on the ground and observed it. There were indeed signs of loose soil.
She stood up, raised her leg and stepped on a place that was obviously sunken than the surrounding area. She stepped down hard, and the whole ground sank immediately.
I looked around in disbelief. This was clearly a normal road, the kind of place that no one passing by would even glance at.
If there are survivors who want to hide here by burrowing underground, I don’t know if they can hide from people, but they definitely can’t hide from the zombies with a keen sense of smell.
There must be something strange going on here.
She looked down and saw a long earthen staircase. Judging from the footprints on the staircase, they were indeed human footprints.
The earthen steps are not big and can only accommodate two people standing side by side.
Taking a deep breath, she brought Ao Ao out and held him in her arms, seeking some comfort from the warmth in her arms.
After Ao Ao was silenced, she began to walk down carefully.
The path ahead was simple, a single path that narrowed as she went down. After a while, she keenly sensed something was amiss. Gathering spiritual energy in her hands, she dispatched two level six zombies with a single blow.
After groping forward a few steps, Xie Purou saw a disheveled woman trapped in an iron cage...
