Chapter 826: Pingjin Appears
Perhaps because Ning Yuan and Cheng Qi were guarding him, Qin Jin was only on guard for the first moment after waking up, but after hearing Ning Yuan's explanation, he became speechless.
"When did he become so evil? Just because he was injured, he wanted others to experience it?" Qin Jin gritted his teeth. He didn't feel any pain at first when he became a zombie. He didn't have any wounds on his body. Now he didn't feel any discomfort, but he hadn't been plotted against for too long, and he had an indescribable feeling.
Ning Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Children have to bear too much. They have to do bad things occasionally to relax and relieve stress. Please be understanding."
He raised his chin towards Cheng Qi and said, "Fortunately you have comprehensive ideas. You were afraid that there would be competition among you zombies, so you asked me to protect you together."
Qin Jin pursed his lips and nodded, motioning Cheng Qi to leave, then said, "There were indeed fights between the zombies. They don't recognize humans, they only recognize the most powerful zombies."
Now he is the most powerful, so they call him the king. The next day, his crystal core may be taken away by other zombies, and the position of king will become someone else.
This is also the reason why he did not concentrate on studying how to conquer all the zombies. He felt that this position did not belong to him, but anyone could take it.
Fortunately, he had accepted this kind of thing a long time ago, so he didn't feel sad. He asked about the source of the thing that knocked him unconscious, and walked out with Ning Yuan.
Lu Weiyi was still sitting at the dividing line between zombies and psychics facing the sunset. The difference was that this time there was a huge mutant monkey sitting next to him. From the back, the man and the monkey looked like they were in deep thought.
"What are you doing?" Qin Jin asked.
"I heard that your team had a quarrel with the psychic in the team before, and he has to sit here to guard both sides. Could it be that... he is angry?" Ning Yuan guessed.
Qin Jin's mouth twitched, and he spoke hypocritically, raising his foot to get closer to take a look.
Before he got close, he could smell the natural scent in the air. Qin Jin's brows jumped. He walked around the man and the monkey and saw a pile of fire in front of them, on which was roasting a whole lamb that he had gotten from somewhere.
Lu Weiyi relied on the fact that one of his arms had not recovered yet to command the little monkey to flip over continuously. There was a bunch of fresh mutant fruits in the woven basket beside him, and he looked particularly arrogant.
The little monkey was often tempted by the aroma of the exploding cumin, and wanted to reach out and tear off a piece, but Lu Weiyi would stuff a fruit into his big hand. The monkey didn't care what it was, and would just stuff it into his big mouth, smacking his fingers while turning over with his other hand.
"Little temper?" Qin Jin turned his head to look at Ning Yuan.
"...Haha." Ning Yuan was embarrassed and stepped forward to ask, "Where did you get the lamb? It's still fresh."
"My uncle said he knew the location of a flock of sheep. He said I was injured, so he caught some and gave them to me to heal." Lu Weiyi looked at Ning Yuan who took out a dagger from his side and wanted to share some with him, and said while staring at him.
“……”Ning Yuan.
He sighed and looked at the mutant sheep that was bigger than a man, "...You can't eat it either, right?"
Lu Weiyi stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation. Ning Yuan took a step forward but did not dare to make a move. Qin Jin did not think anything of it and went directly to the side where the meat was dripping with oil. He saw the little monkey picked up the whole mutant sheep with one sturdy arm, turned its head to Qin Jin, howled angrily, and warned with bared teeth.
Lu Weiyi burst into laughter.
Qin Jin gritted his teeth, "Who did you learn such a bad taste from?" She was still so cute when she followed Zhuang Mingxu silently and acted like a beautiful vase.
Lu Weiyi ignored him and patted the little monkey's arm. It was unknown what they communicated. The little monkey then became alert to the two of them and lit the fire again.
Ning Yuan knew his own limitations and didn't dare to snatch the food from the little monkey. He could only grab a mutant peach from his side, throw one to Qin Jin, wipe it casually, take a bite, and sit next to Lu Weiyi.
Qin Jin was free to eat these foods, and did not force himself to eat meat, so he sat on the other side.
"We will be going back soon. Have you thought about what to do?" Ning Yuan choked when Lu Weiyi suddenly hit him with a straight ball, and he started coughing violently.
Qin Jin paused in eating the fruit, and heard Lu Weiyi say, "The research institute has been studying the impact of radiation on humans. Now those outside below level A have been affected, and maybe the zombies will not be spared either. You should make plans early, or find a place to hide away for a few years."
"...I know," Qin Jin responded. No emotion could be heard from his voice. There was silence among the three of them. Only the sound of the little monkey chewing fruit could be heard.
Ning Yuan wanted to say something, looked at this and that, but in the end he didn't know what to do. He sighed and simply decided not to participate, resigning himself to his fate and snatching the slices of meat from Lu Weiyi's plate.
Qin Jin was silent for a long time, and suddenly remembered the purpose of his visit. "Can I see... the child?"
Lu Weiyi was not as tactful as Zhuang Mingxu. He simply shook his head and said, "Yin Jin said he wants you first and then decide whether to let Qin Nian see you."
"Qin, Nian" Qin Jin chewed these two words in his mouth without saying anything.
When the moonlight was high in the sky and everyone had eaten and drunk enough, Qin Jin stood up and asked, "When is the latest time for you to leave?"
"Maybe half a month. Meteorologists predict that a large-scale solar storm may occur again in half a month. I have to send everyone away before that."
Qin Jin nodded and said nothing. But that night, Lu Weiyi, who had finally gotten a rest, was woken up in the middle of the night and told that the surrounding zombie army had quietly evacuated.
Early the next morning, Lu Xiao and Zheng Yi brought Golden Eagle and his team back to the Kyoto base, and agreed to bring the team back within ten days, while Yueban Bay would continue to rebuild their destroyed base.
Within two days, a team returned from the Mengbei base. As mentioned during the previous negotiations, Wen Jing brought a large amount of jade ore, zombie crystal cores, and some rare earth ores, showing his so-called wealth to the fullest.
Traveling with them were people from other bases. Some of them had seen the Yuebanwan base being attacked by high-level mutant animals and returned to see if they could pick up any bargains. Others had heard about the zombie energy-releasing potions and wanted to exchange them for some.
Unexpectedly, among the visitors there were people from the Pingjin base. Tang Bai and Lin Ya, who had not been seen for a long time, appeared in the team. When Yueban Bay was attacked, Tang Bai passed a message to them at the beginning. Later, for some unknown reason, he also became one of them.
Lin Ya and her team relied on the controller to suppress the opponent from the very beginning. The failure of the electronic equipment allowed her to successfully take out the controller. After that, she did not retaliate and completely severed her relationship with Yuebanwan.
Ning Yuan was too overwhelmed at the time and had no time to care about it. Now that he has a longer-term goal, there is no need to pursue it further.
Ning Yuan was a little surprised to see them appear at this time. If it were before, he would definitely make a few sarcastic remarks. Now that they are about to leave, this may be the last transaction. Waiting for the next time... it is not known whether they can meet again.
Considering that they had a good relationship when they worked together in the past, Ning Yuan did not put on airs. Instead, he greeted them in a friendly manner, which made the two of them feel awkward.
Lin Ya didn't know what to say. The charming woman back then was now much older, with deep wrinkles on her face. When she was silent, she looked dignified and mean.
Tang Bai was squatting not far from Ning Yuan, looking at the restored Yuebanwan Island. It was unknown what he was thinking. After a long while, he suddenly asked, "I heard that your base has been moved to Laoshan?"
"Yes" This is not a secret, there is nothing to hide. He saw that the Pingjin base did not take any supplies except people, and was curious, "What do you want to exchange? Zombie energy release potion? Purification crystal core or something else?"
Tang Bai smiled bitterly and shook his head. After a while, he asked, "How many crystal cores are there?"
Ning Yuan gave him a finger and said, "For the sake of our old friendship, you have no shortage of crystal cores."
As long as they spend time, they can always get things that exist in nature. What they want now are non-renewable resources, such as coal, metal minerals, etc. If they didn't want to get rid of as many zombie energy-releasing potions as possible, they might not want the crystal cores.
Tang Bai didn't speak for a while. After lowering his eyes for a long time, he suddenly asked, "Are you providing food?"
As if he didn't expect someone to ask this, Ning Yuan paused and shook his head, "No, but I'll recycle it."
The two looked at each other and understood each other's meaning. Ning Yuan had received accurate news and his life might not be easy in the future.
As for Tang Bai, he was able to hide his strength and stay dormant in the team for several years, and finally took control of the entire team. This shows that he is a man with both vision and intelligence.
Tang Bai didn't say anything for a while. Ning Yuan looked at Lin Ya and took the initiative to greet her, as if nothing had happened between them. "I've been a little busy these two days. If you need to change anything, there are people over there to count it. Wait..."
Ning Yuan roughly calculated the time in his mind and said, "After these busy days, let's have a meal together."
Lin Ya forced a smile and watched Ning Yuan wave goodbye casually, her eyes gradually becoming dull.
"Do you have any solution?" She said in a hoarse voice, as if she was talking to herself.
Tang Bai looked at the islands ahead. Now, it has been restored to five islands, just like it was before the coastline rose. While each base was like a rat that feared the light and tried to explore and live underground as much as possible, they were still as bright and beautiful as before, and people who saw them were really - jealous.
But Tang Bai knew from the beginning to the end that everyone has their own destiny, and he just wanted to find a way out for himself and his family.
"The food in the base won't make it through this winter," Lin Ya's voice rang out again. She turned sideways to look at Tang Bai and reminded him calmly, "The people in Team Blizzard have started eating human flesh..."
Tang Bai's expression suddenly changed, and he lowered his voice and scolded, "Shut up!"
"Haha, you're feeling uneasy now, it's a little late. It was you who hinted that we should unite and snipe their granary." Lin Ya looked particularly crazy with her grin. Because her mouth was opened too wide, cracks appeared on her lips, and blood oozed out, which made her look even more weird.
Tang Bai sneered, "Didn't you, the so-called good sister, kill Zhou Xue yourself?"
