Chapter 16: Alone in the Tiger's Den



The hot evening wind blew across the empty area, carrying with it a bloody smell mixed with a foul odor.

A girl in a white nightgown stood alone next to an off-road vehicle, surrounded by either unconscious people or corpses.

The heads and bodies of the third and fourth brothers had been separated, their eyes were wide open, and they died with their eyes open.

They never dreamed that they did not die in the terrible tide of zombies just now, but instead died at the hands of this girl who seemed like she could be crushed to death with just one slap.

Jiang Chuyi wrinkled his nose and sniffed. In the hot temperature, the blood and the stench fermented more obviously, becoming even more unbearable.

She turned and touched the door of the cab. Just as she was about to sit in, she remembered something and looked back at Wen Xi who was lying unconscious on the ground.

Wen Xi is not dead yet, but her breathing is weak and her chest is rising and falling slightly. She has no idea what kind of horrible thing the girl she tried so hard to protect has done.

Jiang Chuyi knew that if she was left lying here, she would die soon.

Not to mention how weak she was at the moment, just looking at the zombies around her who were pinned to the ground by Jiang Chuyi and dared not move, it was not difficult to imagine that after Jiang Chuyi left, they would pounce on these fresh bodies like hungry tigers.

Jiang Chuyi had already half of her body sitting in the driver's seat. If she wanted to move Wen Xi, she would have to get out again, which made her hesitate.

You can't use the shadow hand, the force is too strong and Wen Xi will be crushed to pieces.

After hesitating for a few seconds between being lazy and leading people, Jiang Chuyi curled his lips and looked unhappy, but still got out of the car, easily pulled Wen Xi up from the ground, and threw him into the back seat.

"Host, what do you want to do now?" The system began to be confused again, "Where are you taking her?"

"Go to that base? We've been running for so long, but we don't go in when we get to the door. Isn't it a waste of time?" Jiang Chuyi's face was still a little unhappy. It was annoying enough that these people had delayed her for so long and didn't take her to the place, and now she wanted her to find the way herself.

"..." The system was at a loss for words. "You, you know that the base they're talking about is the largest black market today, right?"

"So?" Jiang Chuyi repeated his old trick, channeling energy into the SUV and commanded, "Search for the location of that black market, quickly."

system:……

Although it didn't want to admit it, it really had no way to deal with Jiang Chuyi.

"If you keep following this national highway, you'll reach the entrance to the base they mentioned," the system said. "But places like this usually don't allow you to enter without someone from their team leading you..."

Before the system finished speaking, the off-road vehicle made a "whoosh" sound and Jiang Chuyi rushed out with full speed.

The system was speechless.

After they left, the zombies that were trembling in fear suddenly rushed forward and divided up and ate the still bleeding corpse.

Night slowly falls, and the night of the end of the world is also accompanied by deep depression. There is no moonlight, and there are not even a few stars. The whole world seems to have fallen into a deep sleep.

Except for the occasional howling of zombies, the starry sky was silent and filled with the smell of death.

The roar of the off-road vehicle tore through the silence of the night.

Jiang Chuyi was driving the car while looking out the window.

Looking at the dark fields, her patience had reached its lowest point after running alone for several hours.

"System, let me ask you again, is that base called something village really here?"

There is a kind of horror, when your mother suddenly calls you by your full name.

At this moment, when the official name of the system came out, coupled with Jiang Chuyi's tone that had dropped to freezing point, even though the system had no entity, it was also shocked.

"According to the plot map, it should indeed be at this location. But they have always been secretive about their whereabouts. It would be difficult to find them without someone from our team." The system said tremblingly and immediately became invisible.

It tried to tell Jiang Chuyi this in the afternoon, but she simply didn't listen.

Jiang Chuyi had a gloomy face, his eyes kept scanning out the window, while at the same time he was flipping through the original plot in his mind.

The largest black market today has a rather elegant name, called Shouli Tea House.

But what is bought and sold there is more than just tea.

They have many bases and cast their net widely. Even the plot does not tell us how many bases they have. The protagonist always runs into them, thus triggering a battle.

As for the method of getting in, each base is located in a different location, and the codes and methods of entering are also different, which is very troublesome.

Jiang Chuyi walked around the open space again and again, and became completely furious.

She had been running for so long on an empty stomach, finally arriving at her destination, and this was it? This?

Are you playing a trick on her?

Jiang Chuyi withdrew the energy, and the off-road vehicle lost power and stopped in place.

In the empty and dead silence, Jiang Chuyi sat coldly in the driver's seat, and surging energy began to gather in her hands.

Since we can't find it, let's just destroy this place.

The energy continued to rise, and just when she was about to throw this ball of terrifying energy out of the window, the ground where she was standing suddenly shook.

Jiang Chuyi was stunned and his movements froze.

Then, the entire ground where she was standing suddenly began to sink, and with a distinct rumbling sound, she and her car gradually sank into the ground.

Bang.

With a violent shock, the descent stopped.

The intense and swaying light shone over, causing Jiang Chuyi, who had just come out of the darkness, to squint his eyes uncomfortably.

Her hand remained where it was, but the energy on it gradually diminished and disappeared.

"Is that the third brother? Why is there only one car? Where are the others?" A male voice came from the bright light. "Get out quickly when you get there. What if zombies come in?"

Very good, there are living people.

"Put away those stupidly waving glow sticks! Who are you trying to blind?" Jiang Chuyi's anger hadn't subsided yet, and his voice was cold. "Come out, someone who can talk, while I still have some patience. Hurry up."

The swaying light source suddenly stopped.

Several crisp voices rang out, and Jiang Chuyi was now very familiar with this voice.

This is the sound of a gun being loaded.

"Who are you? Why are you driving our car? Where are the third brother and the others?" The man's voice from before was noticeably more serious, and rustling footsteps were heard approaching. "Put your hands on your head and get out of the car."

Jiang Chuyi covered his eyes with his hands and carved the word "endure" in his heart.

Haven't found any food yet, hold on.

She took a deep breath, opened the car door and got out.

On the fully armed and alert side, they saw an incredibly beautiful girl with clear eyes wearing a white nightgown get out of the car and stand there looking at them with an expressionless face.

These people were stunned again.

They could never have imagined that the enemy who had spoken so arrogantly and made them deeply wary would be such a young girl.

The light from countless flashlights shone on her, making her look like the only light in the darkness, pure white without a speck of dust.

Even though they were evil bandits rampant in the end times, they could not help but stay there.

"Turn off the thing in your hand." Jiang Chuyi said softly, pauses in his voice.

Seeing her like this, the system shrunk itself deeper into her consciousness.

The angrier the host is, the softer his voice becomes. It discovered this afternoon.

It's scary when the host gets angry, so it's better for it to stay away from him.

Jiang Chuyi's voice sounded exactly like the one that spoke just now, so she was indeed the one that spoke.

After confirming that there was indeed only this one unarmed girl, these people gradually relaxed.

"What? Didn't the eldest brother say that the third brother was going to bring someone back? This seems to be that person, but where is the third brother?"

The light became dimmer, and a few smiling faces appeared.

"Hey, little girl, where's the person who taught you how to get here?"

Jiang Chuyi glanced at him and said nothing.

She could tell at a glance that this was not someone who could speak, so she simply ignored him.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, these people thought that she finally knew where she was and was afraid, and burst into malicious laughter again.

At this time, a man walked out slowly, and the light fell on his face, reflecting his rather gentle facial features.

But his eyes were ruthless and cold, as if stained with blood. Jiang Chuyi had seen this kind of eyes many times in the laboratory. It was a look that showed that people did not care about life at all.

Jiang Chuyi became even more irritated.

"Little girl, tell me, how did you know how to get in?" the man asked.

Then Jiang Chuyi, who should have been scared in their eyes, walked straight past him with a cold face.

"There's another person in the car, mine. She was injured by something of yours. Fix her up." Jiang Chuyi didn't care about the gun he hadn't put down yet, and walked into the passage. "Wake her up within ten minutes, otherwise I won't be able to eat until very late."

The author has something to say:

If nothing unexpected happens, it should be released at midnight on the 20th~
