Chapter 132: Rise Up and Fight
The old Chinese doctor next to him saw that Manman was not feeling well and suggested, "Would you like me to take your pulse? It's not going to work if you continue like this."
"No, I guess it's because the smell of blood here is too strong." After saying that, she started vomiting again. The little food she had just eaten was almost gone.
The old Chinese doctor sighed, "These rioters are so despicable. They are all human beings, why do they do such evil? Look at these soldiers, they are fighting for their homes... There are even teenagers among them, it's really pitiful."
"Is there a possibility that they are not human at all..." Manman also began to doubt this.
A soldier injured by the rioters had his intestines blown out. Manman felt sad when she saw it. "We should not waste time. Medical supplies are in short supply now."
She suddenly remembered that when Qin Muxue left the space behind, she had told her that there were many medical resources in the space. Manman had secretly gone in to take a look before, and there were indeed many useful medical equipment. With her healing ability and the medicine in the elixir space, she could always barely hold on. Now there was another person with healing ability.
But just as she was feeling relieved, there were suddenly many more wounded people in the medical room. Manman quickly asked someone who was still conscious, "What's going on? What happened outside? Why are there suddenly so many wounded people?"
"He's a person with super powers. We...we can't beat him, so we have to rely on the super power team to hold on." The man's head was bleeding. He had just saved his life from hell on earth, but many of his comrades lost their lives.
Ordinary human soldiers were like ants in front of the super-powered people. They were knocked down by them in an instant. If they didn’t have more numbers, they would not have been able to resist for so long.
Now, not to mention middle-aged men, young people who have just reached adulthood have also joined the fight, and women are no less far behind. Young or old women all took up their weapons. Those who were not given weapons took up shovels and sticks. Many people lost their lives because of this, but this was to protect their homes. If they fought, they could still have a chance to survive, but if they did not fight back, they could only sit and wait for death.
At this time, Xia Qiaoyun saw that the base was in chaos and some people were ready to escape. Xia Qiaoyun looked at the man who was sneaking away and grabbed her, "If you want to leave, take me with you."
"Why should I bring an old woman like you along? When your daughter was around, I still gave you some face. Look at what you are like now. Why should I bring you along to hold me back?" The old man kicked her mercilessly. He still wanted to live, and anyone he brought along would be a burden.
Xia Qiaoyun was kicked onto the flower bed and hit her head, causing a bloody mess. Now her daughter's life or death is in danger, and there is a war going on outside the base. She had spent her points lavishly before and did not have much supplies. Now she did not know how to survive.
Seeing the old man preparing to leave the base with a large bag of supplies, how could he take her with him when he didn't even want his wife?
She could only follow the old man and see if there was any chance to escape.
If this place were occupied by rioters, it would definitely become a living hell. Those who are afraid of death have already thought of a way to escape.
There is a door at the back of the base. Now that all the soldiers have gone to the front to fight, there is no one guarding here, so they can take the opportunity to slip out.
But in order to prevent outsiders from invading, this place is sealed tightly and normal people can't escape at all. "MD, are you going to kill all of us by locking us up here?" A man couldn't help but curse.
Another timid one said, "Let's stay here. The base has not been breached yet. We can at least survive here. If we go outside and encounter those rioters, we won't even have a chance to survive."
"The rioters are in front. If we go from the back, they won't notice us. Their IQ is not very high." the man explained.
"So how are we supposed to get out now?"
There were several layers of protection behind this, and fingerprints were required to pass through, so they could only stand there and worry.
Suddenly, an alarm sounded from behind. "Attention, attention, we are under attack from outsiders. Attention, attention, we are under attack from outsiders."
Everyone looked at the alarm sounding above their heads, apparently unaware of what was happening outside.
Until these doors were broken down by the super-powered people outside, the leading men turned into a pile of meat before they could react.
The old man looked at his companion who died beside him. His throat seemed to be strangled and he could not make any sound. He was stepped to death by a super-powered man. A woman could be seen sitting on the shoulder of the super-powered man. This woman was called a wise woman. She was a person with a relatively high IQ among the rioters. They often formulated some strategies and would not rely on mindless attacks with force like ordinary rioters.
Xia Qiaoyun, who was hiding in the corner, was so frightened when she saw this scene, but now her legs were weak and she had no strength to escape.
Suddenly, someone covered her mouth. Xia Qiaoyun turned around and saw that it was her daughter Qin Jia who had been missing for many days. "Jia Jia, you are not dead. Mom really misses you."
"Shh, Mom, stop talking, let's go!"
After Qin Jia was brought to the base of the Shenjiang Sect by Li Cheng, it was a blessing in disguise. Now the Baihu City base and the Shenjiang Sect joined forces to deal with these rioters and had no time to deal with them, so they took advantage of the chaos to return to the base.
Qin Jia couldn't let go of Xia Qiaoyun, so he ran here to find her.
The two of them shuttled through the alleys of the base, and Li Cheng guarded them. "Rioters have already broken into the base. It's not safe here anymore."
Li Cheng originally thought that the Baihu City base would be safer than the sect base, but he didn't expect that the base would fall just after they arrived here. Now being attacked from both sides, the base will not be able to hold on for much longer, and they must leave here quickly.
The intruders through the back door were quickly discovered, but it turned out that the first people to discover it were a group of elderly people over 70 years old.
This place is very close to the nursing home at the base, where the lonely elderly people who lost their children in the disaster live.
The alarm has sounded, but it will take some time to gather the troops, and now the soldiers and the psychics are fighting the rioters at the front.
A retired veteran took off his hat silently. He had lost too much in just a few years. This was the last bit of warmth left for them by the base, and they had to protect it.
"Old comrades, I know my power is small, but if we let these rioters continue to advance, our homes will be destroyed, and our children will also..." At this point, he choked up, "I am an old man, but I still want to make one last contribution."
As he said this, he picked up his crutches, hobbled, and resolutely walked out of the nursing home's gate.
More veterans followed him out. Not only the veterans, but even those who had never fought, silently picked up the weapons around them.
"When I was young, I could defend my homeland. When I am old, I can still do it!"
"We are old, not useless."
This was originally their last home in the cruel end times, but now they have to watch these rioters trample on their homes and watch young soldiers die in front of them.
Even if their power is small, they must make their contribution to defending their homeland.
No matter who the rioters met, the only goal in their minds was killing. When they saw a group of old people standing in front of them, they shot at them or hacked them with cold weapons without hesitation.
The old people just want to hold on a little longer, even if it's just a little bit, they have to hold on, for the base and other residents.
The combat personnel at the front had received the news and they rushed to the rear as quickly as possible. Qu Yanbai was even more nervous because this group of rioters would pass by their apartment, where Grandma Qu and her two children lived.
Listening to the news on the radio, Ding Manman couldn't concentrate. There were constant casualties here, and who knew that there was a problem in the rear of the base. The residential area should have been the safest place in the entire base, but once that line of defense was breached... Moreover, the rioters killed indiscriminately. They didn't care whether the other party was a child or an old man, as long as they were a human, they were their target.
She felt very tired now and wanted to contact Qu Yanbai, but couldn't.
At this time, Sang Qing appeared in front of her riding Alan. Their bodies were soaked in blood, and Alan's white hair was even more bloody. He stood there with blood dripping all over his body. It was obvious that he had just rushed over from the battlefield.
Sang Qing's arm was injured. Manman thought he was here to treat the wound, but he just bandaged it casually. "By the way, Qu Yanbai asked me to tell you not to worry about him. He has gone to find Grandma Qu and the others. You can stay here without worry."
"With so many super-powered rioters showing up at once, how can I not be worried? What's the battle situation like ahead?" she asked anxiously.
Sang Qing just sighed, "I don't want to lie to you, I can only say that it's very bad, countless casualties, the wounded here are just the living, but there are even more dead and can't be saved, we have suffered heavy losses, when there were no superpowers and rioters, we could still fight them, but their numbers have increased, and now we can only resist with all our strength."
Manman became even more worried when she heard the news.
"I will go to support him right away. Take care of yourself. There should be gravity weapons here, and there are a few psychics left here to protect you." After saying that, Sang Qing was about to leave.
"Your wound..."
"It's okay, just a minor injury."
Watching Sang Qingyuan's departing back, Ding Manman could only wipe away the tears that were streaming down her cheeks and continue to devote herself to the treatment until she was exhausted. Just as she was about to inject another tube of purple mineral potion, she fell directly to the ground.
At this moment, she couldn't open her eyelids.
On Qu Yanbai's side, when they arrived at the rear, the desperate resistance of the group of old people bought some time, and the rioters had not yet had time to enter the residential area. While he breathed a sigh of relief, he looked at the blood and body parts on the ground and realized what had just happened here.
Without much time to grieve, they could only continue to fight. However, the residential area was full of houses, and using heavy weapons would definitely be impractical as it would hurt innocent people. They could only use superpowers.
"Captain Qu, are you ready?" He Qiuyang wiped the blood off his face and casually bandaged the wound on his leg. "Our fight will continue."
"Yeah, I'm ready."
He Qiuyang quickened his pace and fired at the rioters, "Kill you sons of bitches. I will never let you hurt anyone else again."
"He Qiuyang, you are alone, why are you fighting so hard?"
"How many of my team members died tragically at their hands."
He originally had an indifferent personality, but after getting along with his comrades and growing up in the base, he understood the hard-earned peaceful days. However, these days did not last long before they were destroyed by rioters.
A little girl suddenly rushed out from a residential building and shouted to the cat who had run into the rioters out of fear: "My cat, cat, don't run!"
He Qiuyang didn't think much about it. Seeing that the little girl was about to be killed by the rioters, he rushed forward as quickly as possible to stand in front of the little girl. The rioters' hand directly pierced his abdomen.
At that time, he did not feel any pain, but just a moment of relief, "Last time, I failed to save my teammate, this time, I can finally save one..." As he spoke, blood continued to flow out of his mouth.
Qu Yanbai looked at this scene, fought off the rioters around him like a madman, and rescued He Qiuyang.
"Is she... is she okay?"
Qu Yanbai knew that he was asking about the little girl. Seeing the little girl was safe and sound, she burst into tears because she was frightened. Qu Yanbai held back her sadness and said, "She is fine, she is not injured. You saved her."
"That's great." He felt the strength in his body slowly slipping away, and everything went dark in front of his eyes, as if he couldn't see anything clearly.
The voices in his ears began to fade away from him, and he smiled, "My stomach hurts."
Qu Yanbai looked at his pierced abdomen and said, "You are fine. Nothing happened. I will have someone take you back right away. Manman can cure you. It's really okay. Don't sleep now."
He was really scared that once he closed his eyes, he would never wake up.
At this time Cai Haomiao rushed over and saw He Qiuyang dying. He knelt down in front of him crying, "Asshole, didn't we agree that we two helpless people should travel together in the future? How could you..." He held back his tears and could no longer speak.
Qu Yanbai stood up. The current situation left him no time to hesitate. "Haomiao, take He Qiuyang to Manman for treatment. He won't die."
"No, no, stay and keep fighting." He Qiuyang tightly grasped the corner of Cai Haomiao's clothes, "I'm sorry, I'm leaving and you're the only one left, but for our ideals, you have to keep living..."
"He Qiuyang, wake up!" But no matter how Cai Haomiao shouted, his breathing gradually became weaker, and finally his clothes loosened, and he was completely dead.
"Assholes, I must kill these rioters."
He Qiuyang's body was carefully placed aside, without time to grieve.
Cai Haomiao's ability is to explore, and he can explore the memories in the brain. It is not an offensive ability. The reason why he stays here is to explore the memories in the brains of these rioters, why they appear here, and why they want to massacre humans.
However, they were unable to detect the memories of the rioters they captured. It seemed that they had a mechanism that would cause them to enter a state of brain death once they were captured by humans.
Cai Haomiao could only explore the memories of those rioters who were on the verge of death and had not yet entered brain death during the battle. Unfortunately, there were no clues yet.
They had already tried the ordinary rioters, but there was no way to explore their memories, so he set his sights on the newly emerged super-powered rioters. However, they were more difficult to deal with. Not only were they huge in size and had bad tempers, they were also impossible to approach.
Now a new type has emerged, that is the wise man. The wise man is so cunning and smart that he often accompanies the super-powered rioters and provides strategies for them with low IQ.
The wise men's fighting power is not high, but their IQ is super high. However, there are super-powered rioters around them, so it is difficult to approach them.
Cai Haomiao walked into the crowd of rioters with a gun in hand and fired indiscriminately as if to vent his anger. Only ordinary rioters were hurt, and new rioters rushed in.
He knew that this would not work, so he carried dozens of bullets and some heavy weapons and tried to run close to the superpower rioters. In the end, Qu Yanbai pulled him back, "Are you crazy? You don't need to die like this. Bullets can't hurt them at all. The superpowers you have now are very helpful to us. You can't die like this."
Cai Haomiao was about to collapse, "But I can't detect their memories at all. I don't know what to do."
"Calm down, there must be a way, but you must not use such radical methods. Teammates must cooperate with each other. I will lead them to a place far away from the residential area. We have to be timid here and can't do anything."
Cai Haomiao gritted his teeth, suppressed his grief and anger, and nodded, "Okay."
However, because of the presence of the wise man, the rioters did not fall into their trap at all. Instead, they continued to move towards the residential building, getting closer and closer.
"Fuck, it's too late. Go evacuate the residents of the residential building to a safe place first and stop them from running around!"
"Understood."
Qu Yanbai sent a small team of soldiers to evacuate the residents with Cai Haomiao and take them to a relatively safe place in the base.
"Everything depends on you. You know how important those residents are. If you can't even protect the soldiers' families, then why are they fighting?"
Cai Haomiao carried He Qiuyang's body on his back and led the soldiers to evacuate the residential building.
Grandma Qu took the two children and hid in the room anxiously. The gunshots and roars outside scared the two children so much that their faces turned pale. Grandma Qu could only ask them to cover their ears, "Children, don't look or listen."
Youyou has been through a lot, and seemed to vaguely sense that something extraordinary had happened here, "Will anything happen to Mommy Ding and Daddy Qu?" Because she was adopted by the two, she has changed her name.
"Good boy, it's a shame that you still care about them. They are fine."
In fact, even Grandma Qu herself was unsure. The residential area had always been very safe, and the broadcast also said that the military and civilians should stay safely at home and try not to go out. But why were there sounds of gunfire and artillery fire outside now?
This reminded her of the war she encountered as a child. She thought that the suffering was over and happiness would come, but she didn't expect that she couldn't escape her fate.
Now she just wants to protect the two children around her. This is her belief as an elder.
At this moment, she heard a voice coming from the radio outside: "Dear soldiers and civilians, the situation is urgent. Please gather in the open space in front of Building No. 3. Please gather!" The voice echoed in the residential building, and people who heard the news hurriedly ran out of the apartment.
Grandma Qu packed up some things and planned to leave with the children.
However, an elderly person and two children moved more slowly than young people. Furthermore, the corridor was very crowded, so Grandma Qu and her two children were pushed to the side. They could only wait until the people left before escaping.
She held the two children in her arms to prevent them from getting hurt.
At this time, Cai Haomiao was still evacuating the residents. Thinking that Qu Yanbai's grandmother and adopted children lived in this building, he kept wanting to look inside. However, the crowd was so crowded that he could not go in. He could only stand at the door. He did not see Grandma Qu until the last person left.
At this moment, the soldier next to him informed him, "It's bad, the rioters are coming in this direction."
"You take the residents away from here first and hide in a safe place. I will go in and look for other people."
"clear."
Cai Haomiao walked in the empty and messy corridor and immediately ran towards the floor where Grandma Qu lived, but there was no one in the house. They had already left.
But he clearly didn't see the three of them just now. It was not until he heard a child crying in the corridor that Cai Haomiao followed the sound and found them. It turned out that Grandma Qu sprained her leg and couldn't walk. She wanted to let the children go first, but the two children refused to leave her alone.
"Glad that you're here, take both children away!"
"Grandma Qu, I'll carry you on my back, and we'll go together."
"You have two children with you, how can you carry me?"
Outside, the footsteps of the rioters were getting closer and closer. They had a very keen sense for surviving humans. There were already more than a dozen rioters rushing in this direction.
Cai Haomiao could only hold up a child in one hand and have a conflict with them in the closed building. He had no guarantee of victory alone.
But seeing Grandma Qu injured beside him, he couldn't leave her here alone.
"Take the child and go!"
"No, I can't..."
"I am already an old man, now I just hope the children can be safe."
As soon as they finished speaking, dozens of rioters had already discovered them.
