Chapter 61 Punishment.
"Mo Qi, Cheng Cheng, are you alright?" Xie Wu asked hurriedly.
Upon hearing this, Mo Xiu spoke first, "We're fine, don't worry, everything's alright. It's just that this building might not be safe anymore, let's get out of here quickly!"
After speaking, the young man turned to Mo Qi with a somewhat ingratiating expression and asked, "Mo Qi, how are you feeling? Are you...?"
"Shut up." Mo Qi interrupted him, giving Mo Xiu a rare cold look.
Lu Pingwan was also taken aback when he saw this; it was the first time he had ever seen Mo Xiu with such a guilty expression.
However, the situation was indeed critical, and they didn't have time to explain what had happened. They hurriedly left the building and reunited with the people at the Shanhe Base outside.
Judging from Mo Xiu's words, the level 7 zombies have been dealt with, and their battle here is over. Of course, they need to go check on Bai Su's situation. After all, the area of the university city base where the battle took place is mainly used to store medical equipment and medicines.
As soon as they arrived, they saw Bai Su and his group emerging from another building. It seemed they were also on their way to provide support.
"Mo Xiu!" Bai Su called out to him and ran over quickly.
Mo Xiu could sense that Bai Su's supernatural abilities were almost exhausted, and he was only holding on by relying on his own skills. However, judging from the current situation, all the zombies on their side should have been wiped out.
Bu Zhengchen, standing to the side, glanced at Mo Xiu's beggar-like appearance, then looked at the man called Mo Qi who was walking slowly behind them, and frowned slightly.
Although Mo Xiu looked rather pitiful, it was clear that the one who was truly in trouble was Mo Qi. His breathing was heavy, and a deep wound on his arm was bleeding profusely.
Even so, his expression remained calm; anyone who didn't know better would have thought that someone else was the one who was injured.
Without even guessing, Bu Zhengchen knew that Mo Xiu must have been protected by this person.
Mo Xiu breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Bai Su and the others were alright. After settling the other wounded, she ran to find clean bandages and medicine and carefully bandaged Mo Qi's arm.
Seeing the man's wound, which was almost deep enough to expose the bone, Mo Xiu felt a pang of heartache. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but when Mo Qi glared at him, he inexplicably fell silent.
The other person had shielded him in the same way before, leaving behind such a gruesome wound. Why was Mo Qi so angry when he instinctively tried to shield the other person during that explosion?
Although he sensed something unusual during the explosion, Mo Qi seemed to have done something to ensure that he was only superficially disheveled, but actually unharmed.
Halfway through bandaging, Mo Xiu suddenly remembered Feng Wenkang, who had awakened a healing ability at the Shanhe Base.
Such a severe wound would take a long time to heal on its own and would be very painful, but with the help of healing abilities, Mo Qi should recover quickly.
With that in mind, he quickened his pace in bandaging. Although he was still somewhat tired, he didn't intend to stop and rest.
The team members have already checked, and the equipment inside does indeed contain what they need. Therefore, their mission is complete.
Mo Xiu just wants to get Mo Qi back to the base as soon as possible and find Feng Wenkang to treat him.
Having chatted with Bai Su beforehand, they knew a lot about the base Bai Su was at. So when it came time to 'divide the spoils,' Mo Xiu and the others only took the equipment; the medicines were all given to the University City base.
"Are you really not taking some of the medicine back with you? Your team has put in a lot of effort this time, and some of these medicines are very good for external injuries, so they should be able to come in handy."
Bai Su said to Mo Xiu, and after speaking, she glanced at the man who had already sat in the car and seemed to be asleep.
The other person's wound was very serious. He only realized how badly the other person was injured when he casually glanced at it while Mo Xiu was bandaging it.
I really don't know how this person endured it; he didn't even flinch or utter a sound of pain. Other people had bone-scraping surgery after drinking alcohol, but this person... I really don't know how he became like this.
Mo Xiu shook her head upon hearing this: "Don't worry, I won't stand on ceremony with you. Our base still has plenty of medicine in reserve, and we carry all the wound medicine with us. We'll just take the equipment we need."
There are healing-type ability users in the Shanhe Base. I'm in a hurry to go back now because I want to take Mo Qi to find that ability user for help with treatment.
Once the equipment is brought back, everything our base needs for research will be complete. If we develop a drug that can combat the zombie virus, I will definitely find a way to let you know as soon as possible!
Bai Su nodded vigorously upon hearing this. After the two sides checked the supplies, they prepared to part ways.
Before parting, Mo Xiu found Bai Su again and said firmly to him, "Bai Su, the apocalypse will definitely end!"
After saying this, Mo Xiu was stunned for a moment. He thought that having lived a second life, apart from trying to live comfortably and ensuring his and Mo Qi's safety, he would no longer have the passion and hope he had in his previous life.
But somehow, perhaps because the trajectories of the two lifetimes were too different, or perhaps because I'm seeing my past again, my former best friend.
Or perhaps it was because Mo Qi kept surprising him and giving him hope that he became increasingly dissatisfied with merely surviving in this apocalyptic world.
In particular, Mo Qi's ability to turn Xiong Gangyong, who had become a zombie, back into a human made Mo Xiu feel that the other party was hiding something from her.
He had just mentioned the doctor's research on pharmaceuticals to Bai Su, hoping to give the other party a glimmer of hope. In Mo Xiu's heart, it was more like a pretext.
If he were to rely on that doctor to develop a drug that could combat the zombie virus, he would rather believe in Mo Qi's mystical arts and techniques.
Bai Su nodded upon hearing this, patted his friend on the shoulder, and the two smiled at each other. Mo Xiu could sense that they would meet again in the near future.
Back in the car, Mo Xiu sat beside Mo Qi, watching as the man still feigned sleep with his eyes closed. Mo Xiu knew perfectly well that her beloved wasn't asleep. He was simply ignoring her because he was in a bad mood.
This was the first time he had received such a cold reception from Mo Qi, and Mo Xiu felt very uncomfortable. He knew that although Mo Qi usually acted lazy, his attitude towards him was always gentle and warm.
Even if he's sitting or lying there lazily, as long as he sees her, her eyes will always follow him, making him feel sweet and at ease.
But now...
Mo Xiu felt somewhat resentful and aggrieved. He had clearly done it for the other person, and he hadn't even lost his temper because of the wound on Mo Qi's arm. So why was the other person giving him the cold shoulder?
However, there were other people in the car, so Mo Xiu didn't say much.
Xie Wu was driving quietly in front, with Cheng Cheng in the passenger seat next to him, and Lu Pingwan and Xiong Gangyong, who was still unconscious, sitting in the back.
Despite the presence of many people in the train, it was eerily quiet, and the atmosphere in the entire carriage was stagnant.
Cheng Cheng couldn't help but glance back through the rearview mirror. He actually had a lot of questions to ask, especially about Mo Qi.
He really wanted to know what method his boss had used to turn Da Yong, who had become a zombie, back into a human. This was a matter of utmost importance.
Moreover, having learned such a big secret, he really wanted to tell Xie Wu and Xiao Wan. But the key issue was that the atmosphere in the car was too oppressive. He was a bit reckless, but not completely stupid, and he knew he should keep quiet now.
I have a feeling that saying anything out of the ordinary at this time will definitely not lead to anything good.
This strange atmosphere continued until evening. Although Meng Xiu was anxious to return to the base and find someone to treat Mo Qi's wounds,
However, it is also clear that driving at night is much more dangerous than during the day.
However, because they drove very fast on the way back, if they maintain the same speed tomorrow, they should be able to reach the Shanhe Base by evening.
Just before dark, they arrived at a village hut where they had rested on their way here. Because it had been cleaned up when they stayed there before, it was much more convenient to stay there again than in other places.
Mo Xiu still took Mo Qi to the best room they had stayed in before, and even with a bit of a desire to make him happy, Mo Xiu personally cooked dinner.
Regardless of cooking skills, the attitude is what matters!
While cooking noodles outside with a stand and pot, Mo Xiu specially found a large bowl and filled Mo Qi's portion with luncheon meat, even giving him two braised eggs.
With the addition of the greens that Cheng Cheng encouraged to grow, it looks quite appealing.
When he returned to the room with the bowl of noodles, Mo Qi had just sat up. Seeing that the other person had finally stopped pretending to be asleep, Mo Xiu smiled and walked over, but the man opposite him turned his head away and refused to look at him.
Mo Xiu was genuinely flustered. He quickly put the bowl on the small table next to him, walked over to Mo Qi's side, and whispered, "Mo Qi, I know I was wrong. Please don't be angry with me, okay?"
Mo Xiu's tone carried a hint of pleading, and she looked at the man opposite her with a rare, pitiful gaze.
Mo Qi felt a pang of pity upon hearing this, but he was genuinely angry. He had already made preparations, and the reason he accompanied Mo Xiu was to ensure her safety.
And what happened? This person insisted on heading straight for a dangerous place!
Even though the final outcome was acceptable, thanks to his timely reaction, none of them were actually in any real danger.
But so what? What angered Mo Qi was that Mo Xiu didn't care about her safety.
Mo Qi disliked this subconscious risk-taking, even the feeling that the other party would risk their life for his safety.
Since he had chosen Mo Xiu as his Daoist partner, it was a lifelong commitment. For him, a Daoist partner wasn't about life and death, but about sharing life and death!
Watching Mo Xiu keep getting closer to him, his slightly ingratiating smile inexplicably made him find her quite adorable.
Mo Qi's heart softened, but then he felt that this was absolutely not acceptable. This matter could not be left unresolved. He had to punish the other party properly and let Mo Xiu know how powerful he was!
Thinking of this, the man gritted his teeth. Suddenly, he grabbed the back of the other person's head and kissed him fiercely.
