They walked and stopped along the way for about a month before arriving at Qicheng, which was close to Shangjing City.
As long as you pass Qicheng, you can reach Shangjing City.
They were in a base called Xuyang, on the outskirts of Qicheng.
The base is not big, about the size of a village, and has a sparse population of only thirty-four people.
This is the only building to be found around.
Xu Bai exchanged a handful of rice for a house to live in.
The base commander is a woman, her surname is Yang, and she is known as Yang Danniu.
When Yang Danniu saw the bowl of rice, she wanted to hold Xu Bai and the other ten people in her arms. She enthusiastically took them to an idle house and cleaned the dust in the house.
After they left, Shi Qinghe sighed, "We've passed by so many bases, but this Xuyang base is the only one that I feel is the poorest."
"Life here feels like the first year of the apocalypse. Various forces have monopolized resources. If you want to eat, you can only go to more dangerous places. Ordinary people have nothing to eat at all."
"You just didn't see that Base Captain Yang and the others in her base were staring at the bowl of rice, their eyes practically glued to it."
As Shi Qinghe spoke, she leaned out the window. Seeing someone entering the building next door, she quickly took a few steps back and lowered her voice, "I just saw someone wrapped in a black cloak walk into the building next door. Could it be the person we're looking for, or did I misunderstand?"
"In such a hot summer, no normal person would wrap themselves up so tightly, right?"
There are many weird people in the end times. It is hard to tell whether it is because people like to dress like this, or because of the man in black hiding behind them.
"I didn't sense that there was anyone else nearby except us." Xu Bai closed and opened his eyes with his hands behind his back.
Shi Qinghe was puzzled, "Like Xu Xiaoxiao?"
"But I feel that he looks a little familiar. He looks very similar to the black-clothed zombie we saw in Rongcheng two or three years ago, near my hometown?" It was the first time that Shi Qinghe saw someone who could command zombies and drive them away. He was quite shocked and remembered the black-clothed zombie firmly in his mind.
"We'll find out once we find out."
Houses in the village are usually more than three stories high, and the distance between buildings is very close.
Xu Bai and Ji Heng walked to the top floor, jumped over them lightly, and came to the next floor. Xu Bai opened the door easily, and went downstairs with Ji Heng quietly.
At the same time, at the door.
Shi Qinghe, Mingliang, and Chu Liaoming stood at the door, while Tong Yangnian, Lu Yaoyao, and Mu Jing were blocking the back door.
Shi Qinghe knocked on the door, pausing after each knock.
But no one came to open the door.
Shi Qinghe's voice gradually grew louder. "Is anyone inside? I'm the neighbor who lives next door. Base Chief Yang asked me to call you to get the supplies. Hurry up."
Shi Qinghe made up an excuse and put his ear to the door, but he didn't hear any movement inside. However, he really saw a man wrapped in black walked in.
If there is no response for a long time, there must be something wrong!
It's almost certain that it was someone behind the scenes who was plotting against them.
Mingliang removed the door on one side, and they rushed in. In the hall, they saw the man in black facing Xu Bai and Ji Heng.
The man in black stood beside the table, wrapped in a very thick cloak. The table was covered with branches and some fruits that were hard to tell what they were. Some of the fruits were cut open, revealing the milky white fruits.
It was obvious that the man in black was preparing his food.
They could not see the face of the man in black, nor could they sense his panic and anger at the stranger who suddenly broke in.
"Excuse me, but aren't you hot?"
"You look like someone I know."
Who would care what a stranger wears on normal days? In order to see if he was the person who killed Haozi, when monitoring Haozi, Xu Bai saw that the man in black had a large red vortex-like mark on his head and his hands were covered with sutures.
Xu Bai stepped forward quickly and was about to lift the cloak wrapped around the man in black.
But the man in black reacted quickly and dodged in time.
The man in black glanced at Shi Qinghe, then quickly walked towards the door.
They tried to escape without saying a word. Any normal person would have scolded them. But they looked guilty and wanted to escape?
Several people stopped him and used their special abilities to tie up the man in black. The man in black was very powerful and occasionally avoided their attacks like a loach.
"Tell me, why are you targeting us and Shuguang City? What do you want to do?" Shi Qinghe had already completely figured out that the man in black in front of him was the one behind the trouble. Before he even caught him, he started questioning him.
The furniture in the hall had already been overturned, and the fruits fell to the ground.
The fruit fell and rolled to the feet of the man in black. The man in black hesitated and wanted to bend down to pick it up, but the cloak wrapped around her was lifted up, revealing her face.
"sister?"
Shi Qinghe exclaimed, raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, looking at the half-intact face in front of him and his elder sister Shi Miaozheng, who had turned into a zombie in the early days of the apocalypse. The other side of her face was ugly, with all kinds of scars on it.
"Sister, didn't you become a zombie, or do you have human consciousness?"
Shi Qinghe was excited. If this was the same as Xu Xiaoxiao, did it mean that he had a family again?
Although he was excited, he also did not forget that she and Ji's mother were tied to the chair at home. "Sister, where is Aunt Ji? Does she have human consciousness like you? Where is she?"
Xu Bai and the others looked at each other, their eyes fixed on the woman in front of them.
They never thought that the man in black in front of them would be Shi Miaozheng.
Xu Bai remembered the two names "Shi Miaozheng" and "Hua Xuan" hanging on the tree of the strong, and then thought of Shi Miaozheng's strength just now, and collected his thoughts.
"No... no..." She started, her voice was hoarse and unpleasant, and every word she spoke sounded as if someone was plugging her throat.
"I don't believe it, sister. There's a kid in our city who's just like you. He's playing with us just fine now. I'm not afraid of you."
Shi Qinghe immediately realized why Shi Miaozheng didn't say a word, didn't hurt them, and just wanted to avoid and escape.
"Really, I swear."
"Sis, now that you're conscious, why don't you come find us? Are you the zombie wearing a black cloak that I saw near my home two or three years ago?"
Seeing that Shi Miaozheng wanted to run away again, Shi Qinghe got angry. He anxiously hugged Shi Miaozheng's thighs to prevent her from leaving.
"Just tell me what you want to do. Why are you hiding from me? I said you are my sister, so you are my sister."
At this moment, a man in black wrapped in a black cloak came in from the door.
