Chapter 18 The End of the World 18
The door was pushed open heavily, emitting a dull mournful sound.
Qin Ling's pupils shrank, and the blood in his body almost froze.
The young man, who was tied up all over, lay quietly on the cold laboratory table.
The dazzling white light shone on the table, making his skin look even paler.
Qin Ling walked forward a few steps in a daze, then stopped, not daring to get closer.
The dense pinholes on his arms made people shudder. The young man who once smiled shyly now closed his eyes tightly, and his overly long black hair hung on his neck, making the black and white tones more obvious.
"How could it be..."
Qin Ling felt his eyes were extremely bitter, almost in tears, and white cold air was emanating from his body.
Liang Jue took a few steps forward and tore off the black restraints.
But someone was one step faster than him.
Qin Ling recovered from his surging emotions, and took a step faster than before, carefully holding Tang Ji in his arms.
"You!?"
Liang Jue gritted his teeth, reacted and wanted to grab the person back.
Qin Ling's supernatural power was rioting at this time, and the rising energy erected a high ice wall for him, separating himself and Tang Ji from the others into two spaces.
Just when the two were in a stalemate, Lin Yixu rushed over.
"Qin Ling!"
Lin Yixu's heart was beating very hard along the way. He always felt that something bad was going to happen. Following the location on his hand, he looked at the familiar buildings around him, and his bad premonition became stronger.
When he arrived at the severely damaged laboratory, Lin Yixu almost held his breath.
When he saw Tang Ji in Qin Ling's arms, Lin Yixu felt relieved that something had finally happened.
"You finally..."
"Why did you lie to me?"
Qin Ling turned and looked at Lin Yixu, his breath was unstable.
Lin Yixu immediately realized that something was wrong with Qin Ling.
"Your supernatural power is out of control again! Come back with me quickly!"
"Qin Ling, calm down!"
Qin Ling dodged Lin Yixu's outstretched hand, resisted others' approach, and just hugged the person in his arms tightly, with a trance, muttering.
"That's right, he's a zombie."
"Whatever you say, come back with me now!"
Lin Yixu was really annoyed with Qin Ling's indifference to him, and his tone became tough.
"I want to take him away..."
The pain in Qin Ling's eyes disappeared, and turned into a firm look.
"Are you crazy!?"
"He is a zombie. What you did is a blatant violation of the rules of the base. Do you know the consequences of this!?"
Lin Yixu stepped forward and stopped Qin Ling's steps.
Liang Jue, who had been competing with Qin Ling, finally understood the situation at this time. He crossed his arms and watched this "internal fight" quietly.
Anyway, no matter whether both of them were injured or one of them injured the other, he would be the winner.
Seeing that Qin Ling would not listen at all and was determined to take people away, Lin Yixu would not let him go so easily. He controlled his strength and attacked Qin Ling.
Qin Ling felt dizzy for a moment. He knew the opponent's attack method and knew that this was the result of Lin Yixu's mental ability.
The order from his mind made him unable to move at all. Qin Ling gritted his teeth and resisted. He half-hugged Tang Ji with one hand and condensed his other hand into ice crystals and attacked Lin Yixu.
After Lin Yixu knocked down the ice ridges with cold light, he felt the cold air under his feet in the next second, and his feet were fixed in place instantly.
Neither of them wanted to really hurt each other, so they were inevitably restrained when fighting, and fell into a stalemate for a while.
"Ah..."
Lin Yixu sighed softly, bent down and picked up an ice spike at his feet, and slammed it hard on his arm without changing his expression.
"Sizzle--"
The tip of the ice spike cut through his clothes and skin, and a long cut gushed blood from the torn sleeves.
"...Now you can go."
Lin Yixu's expression did not change. He glanced at Qin Ling, moved sideways, and pulled open the hem of his clothes to wrap it around his bleeding arm.
Qin Ling was stunned for a moment, looked at Lin Yixu with complicated eyes, moved his lips a few times, and finally said nothing, and walked past Lin Yixu with the person in his arms.
"Don't forget your superpowers."
When Qin Ling was about to leave the laboratory, he finally heard Lin Yixu shout loudly.
...
Perhaps because he smelled the scent of blood, the young man's eyelids moved a few times, as if he was about to wake up.
Qin Ling took advantage of the chaos and secretly took the person out of the base as quickly as possible.
Liang Jue, who was following behind him, stepped forward to stop Qin Ling after leaving the base.
"Where are you taking him?"
Qin Ling heard Liang Jue's question, was silent for a few seconds, and shook his head.
"Then you should give the person to me. Nothing good will happen to people around you."
Liang Jue's tone was not polite, and he reached out and snatched the person from Qin Ling's hand.
Qin Ling did not resist.
After the strong shock, pain, guilt and other emotions surged into his heart and then gradually faded away, Qin Ling was left with only a blankness in his heart.
Perhaps, the meeting of the two people was a mistake from the beginning.
Zombies hunt humans, and humans regard zombies as their lifelong enemies. The two are in a relationship of life and death.
Qin Ling couldn't kill the boy, nor could he watch him become a guinea pig for the base's experiment.
From now on, the best choice for both of them is to never see each other again.
Qin Ling looked at the figure that was gradually walking away, and turned back.
...
"Intentionally letting the experimental subject run away and associating with zombies violated the explicit regulations of the base."
"Qin Ling, do you have anything else to say?"
"I will leave all my personal property to the base and voluntarily leave the base."
"This..."
The speaker looked at the senior leader behind him at a loss, not knowing what to say for a moment.
"Since the base rules have been violated, we must naturally follow the rules and expel the person from the base."
"Wait, rules are dead, people are alive." Lin Yixu sat next to him, still looking sloppy, with the white gauze on his arm conspicuous.
"I think the base must not be willing to lose such a high-powered person. This is a big loss."
Lin Yixu said while winking at Qin Ling.
"...No need, I will leave the base tomorrow."
Qin Ling pretended not to see Lin Yixu's hint and said to himself.
...
"What were you doing just now? Am I helping you?"
After the meeting, Lin Yixu grabbed Qin Ling's shoulders and said angrily.
Qin Ling's expression softened for a moment.
"I know."
"You still say that even though you know that!"
Lin Yixu wanted to dig into Qin Ling's head to see what he was thinking.
"I always thought you were a calm person. You left the base, which will not benefit you at all, do you know that?"
Others went through hardships to enter the base, isn't it just for that stable life? The treatment of superpowers like Qin Ling in the base is the best. Now that they have left the base, they have to sleep in the open every day and can't even sleep well outside.
Lin Yixu calmed down, and couldn't help but pick up a cigarette with his fingers and put it in his mouth.
"I know what I'm doing."
"Well, if you don't want to stay here, leave here, then you can go to the South Base, or the Thunder Base..."
"I don't want to join any other bases."
Qin Ling walked around Lin Yixu and said lightly.
"Thank you."
Lin Yixu looked at Qin Ling's gradually receding figure, and finally stopped talking. A flash of fire flashed on his hand, and the cigarette on his fingertips was ignited.
...
In the consciousness space.
"Great, leaving the boring base and finally going outside to play by myself."
Jun Zhaoliu fell on the big sofa with a thud, and rolled over a few times. He
was tired of staying in the base a long time ago, and as the captain, he had to complete tasks from time to time, and Jun Zhaoliu felt bored with this.
Just took this opportunity to leave the base.
The plan worked.
"How is it? Xiaoyi, my acting is still pretty good, right?"
001: You had a great time acting, leaving behind a bunch of screaming audiences in the live broadcast room.
Sensing the resentment of the system, Jun Zhaoliu laughed.
"Well, isn't it that a little abuse is good for the heart, and a lot of abuse is harmful to the body? What is this?"
001: Then do you dare to show me the script you wrote?
Jun Zhaoliu chose to change the subject.
"Thank you, Xiaoyi, although the pain on Tang Ji is not completely unbearable, I didn't expect you to have the function of blocking pain."
001: After all, I am a special vest system, I just need to slightly cut off part of the connection between you and the vest.
001: I can also control the physical health of the vest, improve the combat power of the vest, and modify the appearance.
"Oh? Physical health condition, then I can also choose to die from illness?"
"Leukemia? Gastric cancer? Heart disease? ... Are all of these OK?"
Jun Zhaoliu rubbed his hands, his eyes sparkling, eager to try.
001: Uh...
I feel like I said something wrong.
…
“My little Tang!!! How could you treat him like this!!!”
“Woc, woc, woc”
“Stop woc upstairs, people are almost dead (closed eyes)”
“What am I asking? Do you have to torture me like this?”
“Didn’t Rong Xinze say before that he wanted to see Captain Qin and Captain Lin fight? Now they are fighting. (Rong Xinze, you are the strongest poison healer, right?)”
“Although, the two of them fought but not completely.”
“Neither Captain Lin nor Captain Qin had the heart to kill each other. Otherwise, with the strength of these two people, they would have ended up in a fight that hurt both sides.”
“Captain Lin really treats Captain Qin as a friend, he lets him win in a fight and protects him”
“Lin Yixu, don’t be too pampering (I support friendship)”
…
"Xiao Tang, wake up! Why don't you open your eyes and look at who is holding you!"
"Based on the current situation, Tang Ji doesn't even know that Captain Qin didn't know that he was sent to the laboratory, and he doesn't know that Captain Qin carried him out of the laboratory. So it's not that he thinks Captain Qin hates him, right?"
"Yes, because Captain Qin said before that he hated zombies. Xiao Tang is such a sensitive and fragile kid, he must have taken those words to heart."
"Before, many big guys analyzed Tang Ji's identity and strength, and they all agreed that he was capable of running away when his zombie identity was discovered. As a result, this silly kid stood there and was caught and stayed in the laboratory for three whole years. Three years!"
"Stop talking, stop talking. Let's not talk about Captain Qin first. I feel so sad."
"Although Xiao Tang concealed his zombie identity at the beginning, he actually didn't do anything to harm anyone. He's just a silly child who needs love. Why do you have to torture him so much?"
"Ahhhhh Tang Ji, wake up. Although Captain Qin said he hates zombies, you are definitely special in his mind!"
"Captain Qin is absolutely sincere to Xiao Tang. At the beginning, he tried his best to protect him in the arena and let him live with him. When he found out that Xiao Tang was a zombie, his first reaction was to stop him from hurting other people. Later, he thought that Xiao Tang was really executed, and he was depressed for a long time. He kept numbing himself with tasks. As soon as he returned to the base, he went to buy Xiao Tang's favorite chocolate..."
"If this is not love--"
"If this is not true, then I am fake."
