Chapter 151 Life at Sea
It was pouring rain outside, and Shi Yan clearly felt that the cold was gone. The temperature now was probably that of spring, neither very hot nor very cold.
But Qin Muxue was still shivering and feeling cold all over, even though her body was burning hot. Shi Yan could only use ice water to cool her down physically.
Even after taking antipyretics, the temperature did not go down. It seems that this unprecedented virus is really powerful.
Qin Muxue's face flushed and she was still muttering to herself. Shi Yan sighed, took off his coat, and curled up beside her. He was very scared, very scared that Qin Muxue would not be able to survive.
Suddenly thinking of Qin Muxue's spiritual spring water, Shi Yan had an idea, but without Qin Muxue's control they could not go into her space.
He could only whisper her name in her ear, "Xiaoxue, Xiaoxue, wake up, let's go to your space."
In a state of confusion, Qin Muxue opened her eyes weakly and looked at Shi Yan blankly.
"We can try the spiritual spring water."
Qin Muxue nodded, and the two of them immediately entered the space.
There are more complete medicines in the space, and it is also blessed with spiritual spring water.
Qin Muxue soaked her whole body in the cold spring water, and only then did she feel the burning sensation in her body subside a little.
Baozhu seemed to sense her master's distress and whimpered beside her.
Qin Muxue raised her hand weakly and touched the pearl beside her. "Don't worry, I won't die for you."
Shi Yan picked a lot of fruits in the planting area, fried them into juice, and put some ice cubes in it to suppress the high fever.
Qin Muxue drank half a cup. The cold juice went into her stomach and the temperature of her internal organs seemed to drop. She closed her eyes feeling comfortable and gradually lost consciousness.
When she woke up again, Qin Muxue felt like she was being held in a furry embrace, and there was a sharp pain on her face from time to time. When she opened her eyes, she found that it was Zhenzhu who came out with her, and now she was lying in Zhenzhu's soft arms.
I don’t know how long I slept, but I felt much better, but my stomach started to growl.
Shi Yan didn't know how long he hadn't slept, and his eyes were dark blue. When he saw her wake up, he immediately went forward and touched her forehead, "Xiaoxue, are you feeling better?"
"Well, I'm a little hungry." She said embarrassedly.
Shi Yan felt that her temperature had gone down and she even had an appetite to eat, which meant she must have defeated the virus.
"I cooked you some preserved egg and lean meat porridge."
Shi Yan heated up the porridge and fed it to Qin Muxue mouthful by mouthful, which made her feel a little embarrassed.
"Shi Yan, I have hands, I can eat by myself."
He said without question: "I have just recovered from a serious illness, so I'll do it!"
Soon, Qin Muxue finished a bowl of century egg and lean meat porridge, but it was obviously not enough. She felt it was a bit light, and now she actually wanted to eat braised pork elbow.
"I'm still hungry..." Touching her stomach, she found that her desire to eat was becoming stronger and stronger.
Perhaps because she had consumed a lot of her mental energy during her illness, she now felt more and more hungry. "I want to eat braised pork elbow, roast goose, roast duck, poached chicken..." Her mind was filled with these foods.
Fortunately, everything was available in the space. In an instant, all kinds of food were placed in front of the two of them.
Qin Muxue picked up the braised pork elbow and started showing off like crazy.
Shi Yan looked at this scene in amazement. Qin Muxue seemed not to sense the presence of someone around her. She ate one after another until only a pile of leftovers were left in front of her. She said with a lingering feeling, "Finally, I am barely 70% full."
Suddenly remembering that Shi Yan was still beside her, she reacted immediately, "Excuse me, am I eating in an ugly way?"
Shi Yan saw that she was in better condition and breathed a sigh of relief, "No, I like watching. I am very happy to see you eating so happily."
"Thank you Shi Yan, have you been staying by my side all the time?"
"This is what I should do." Reaching out and touching her head, Shi Yan felt the tremendous mental power in Qin Muxue's body, and his palms felt numb for a moment.
Qin Muxue also felt it. Now her body seemed to be full of strength, as if she had made a breakthrough.
"Your mental strength seems to be more sufficient."
"I don't know either, I just feel like I have more strength."
"Perhaps your superpowers have made another breakthrough. There are super powers above level three. Xiaoxue, you may have reached that level." Shi Yan guessed.
"Anyway, I'm fine now. It can be considered a blessing in disguise!" He really felt stronger. "Shi Yan, thank you for sticking with me."
"I've already told you, don't thank me for these little things. No matter what happens, I will always be by your side."
When their eyes met, Pearl next to them meowed at an inopportune time, pulling the two out of this ambiguous atmosphere.
"Now that I'm well, let's go find Manman and the others!"
Qin Muxue felt a little dizzy when she stood up suddenly. Shi Yan supported her waist and said, "Be careful, don't fall."
Pearl now feels like an oversized light bulb.
Qin Muxue's communicator suddenly made a buzzing sound. She picked up the communicator and asked, "Who is it?"
A familiar voice came from the other side, "It's me, Xiaoxue, you finally replied to me. Where have you been? How are you now? When can you come back? We are still waiting for you!"
Manman's series of questions made Qin Muxue not know which one to answer first. "Which direction are you in now? I'll go find you!"
After Manman reported their direction, Qin Muxue took Shi Yan and Zhenzhu to look for them in that direction.
It was pouring rain outside, as if the sky was falling. Qin Muxue had slept for two days, and the rain was already up to her knees. She frowned and said, "I don't want to get wet in the rain anymore."
The moment she said this, the rain around her seemed to stop.
"This...what's going on?" This was the first time she encountered such a situation.
"Perhaps it's because of your ability that you have greater control."
Qin Muxue found that wherever she went, the rain would recede and she would not get wet at all. She just had this thought. It seems that super powers are really powerful.
"Xiaoxue, you've become stronger." Even without his protection, she should be able to survive in the harsh environment.
Arriving at Manman's hiding place, Manman immediately hugged Qin Muxue after seeing her, "Stupid, where have you been? Do you know how worried I am about you?"
"Don't worry about me. I'm fine now. Don't let this upset you."
Manman was still wiping away tears. "Now that you're back, let's get going."
Qin Muxue just walked over, and she already had other ideas in her mind, "No hurry, since it's raining so hard, let's wait for the water to rise a little bit and take a boat to leave here! The water is too shallow now, the boat can't sail, and the car can't drive either."
"Then I'll do as you say."
Qu Yanbai said: "I think so too."
"Before we leave, let's first look for anything worth taking away and see if there are any survivors."
Such a huge base was destroyed and countless people died tragically. Everyone would feel bad.
"What about Li Cheng? Didn't he come back?"
"We can't contact him, so he's probably missing."
Li Cheng was greatly shocked, so it was normal for him not to want to be with them. Besides, they were not of the same kind, so it was not a bad thing to act separately.
When going out to collect supplies, the fewer people there are, the better. Now that infected people are popping up outside from time to time, it is better to have fewer people act.
Qin Muxue's destination was Sheng Xingyuan's previous laboratory, where many instruments had not been brought out, especially the virtual device, which was Sheng Xingyuan's hard work and had to be rescued.
After arriving at the laboratory, fortunately it was not flooded. Looking at everything familiar, which has now become like this, she couldn't help but feel a little more emotional.
"I knew this day would come sooner or later, but I didn't expect it to come so soon..."
After putting all the instruments in the laboratory into the space, Qin Muxue seemed to hear a faint sound.
Shi Yan was on guard. At first, they thought another infected person had appeared, but as the sound became louder, they realized that it was someone calling for help.
The two men walked towards the location of the sound and found that the woman who was crying for help had an injured leg and was unable to move. She was not a stranger, but the widow of a psychic who had died in the line of duty.
Her face was pale and her lips were cracked. When she saw the two people, it was as if she saw the light, "Save us!"
Qin Muxue only saw one person, "Are there others?"
"There are still a few people hiding upstairs, and infected people appear here from time to time."
Qin Muxue looked at her wound, which had begun to fester. "Were you bitten by an infected person?"
The woman hung her head in frustration. "Yes, I know I can't survive. Please kill me before I mutate. I don't want to become a walking corpse like that."
The woman hung her head, weakly, "I haven't had contact with those people upstairs, so they won't be infected, don't worry."
She felt that her consciousness was about to be taken over by another desire. "Please, it's almost too late. I don't want to attack any of you. Let me die with dignity! I can also go find my husband earlier."
Seeing Qin Muxue's silence, Shi Yan suggested, "Why not let me do it..."
Qin Muxue decisively refused, "Let me do it!"
Escape is not a solution, she must face life and death bravely.
She closed her eyes and sighed, then randomly pulled out a silenced pistol and shot her in the head.
Before the woman died, there was a smile on her face. At least she died contentedly.
"Are you okay?"
"It's okay, let's go find other survivors!"
The other survivors were also several women. They originally worked in the cafeteria. They were not familiar with Qin Muxue, but they had met before, so they were not scared when they saw her coming.
"You, are you here to save us?"
It is already difficult for women to survive in the apocalypse. "Of course, are you willing to leave with us?"
Their faces showed the joy of having been saved from a desperate situation. "Yes, yes, thank you."
One woman even started to cry with joy. "Originally, we thought we would die here. There are infected people everywhere outside. We can only hide here and dare not go out. Fortunately, we have received some simple training before, otherwise we would have died long ago..."
"I'll take care of your safety."
When passing by the woman's body, the group of women covered their mouths and noses, with sad expressions on their faces.
Qin Muxue said: "I just killed her with my own hands."
There was no expression on her face, but Shi Yan knew that she was very sad.
"We understand, she is infected." The group of women were very sensible. They knew she was infected and that she wanted to die, but they did not have the courage and determination to help her end it.
One of the women wiped away her tears and said, "I thank you on her behalf."
Perhaps the smell of blood just now attracted the attention of the infected, and a group of them have gathered here.
Qin Muxue walked forward, just wanting to try out how strong he would be after evolving into a super-powered person.
She just used a little mental power, and the water surface began to freeze. Even the legs of the group of infected people were frozen by the ice and they were unable to move.
Qin Muxue said slowly, "You guys carry them over!"
"No need, we will have to face it sooner or later."
Shi Yan drew out the sword behind him, and after a set of complicated sword techniques, the heads of these infected people all fell to the ground. Only by cutting off their heads could they be completely killed, after all, the virus mainly attacks the head.
The women covered their mouths and tried not to make any noise to attract more infected people.
This bloody scene was not the first time they had seen it, but since these infected people had once stood shoulder to shoulder with them, they felt somewhat sad.
Qin Muxue didn't know how to comfort them, so she could only hand them some tissues and said, "Don't cry."
"Thank you, little girl."
After bringing these women back, Qin Muxue instructed Qu Yanbai, "Check if they are injured. If they were bitten by an infected person..."
"I know how to do it."
They didn't want to do this, but the cruel reality told them that they had to do it.
It rained heavily for several days again. Qin Muxue stored all the supplies that could be taken away from the base into the space, even some buildings that were not destroyed. In this way, they found a place to stay and these buildings could be used.
More than a dozen survivors were found, including Captain Wei. He survived under the cover of the soldiers, but he felt very guilty.
Qu Yanbai could only comfort her: "It's not what we wanted. We can only leave here and rebuild our home."
The clever panda also survived, but because it had not eaten bamboo in the past few days, the whole panda lost a lot of weight. Qin Muxue temporarily placed him and another female panda in his own space.
After all, pandas are very rare creatures, and she originally just hoped to preserve more of their genes.
The leopards and tigers were not dead either. These wild animals had strong survival abilities in the wild. However, Qin Muxue was afraid that they would hurt other animals, so she had to lock them in cages.
When these animals saw Qin Muxue, they were like seeing the king of nature. The leopard even exposed its belly, and Qin Muxue touched it several times.
"You just stay here obediently. We will let you out when we find a suitable place to stay."
The animals seemed to understand and nodded.
Captain Wei sighed and said, "I also contacted the headquarters base before, but there was no response at all. I suspect that they are in trouble there too."
Anyway, Qin Muxue had no plan to go to that place. The supplies collected at the base were enough for them to rebuild a beautiful home, but the prerequisite was that the terrain of the place had to be good.
And there are about forty of them in total, which is enough to rebuild a small home.
The water level was rising, and Qin Muxue felt it was time for them to leave.
Captain Wei looked at Qin Muxue and Qu Yanbai calmly directing and assigning personnel, and couldn't help but sighed: "If it weren't for the successive disasters, we could still live well in the base, why would we need to..."
There was a ship in Qin Muxue's space, which could carry about fifty people. Just as everyone was getting on the ship one by one, they found that another ship was slowly leaving the base.
Wu Yong couldn't help but ask: "Isn't that the ship we built before?"
Qin Muxue picked up the telescope and saw the people on the splint, and discovered that they were the survivors who had been in the same group with Qin Jia.
Qin Muxue said calmly: "Nothing to be afraid of."
The slower they drove away from the base, the heavier they felt in their hearts. There were originally thousands of residents living in the base, but now there were only a few of them left.
Grandma Qu prepared a large table of food for everyone, and some people actually started crying while eating.
I don’t know where to go or what the future will be like. This feeling of despair and depression almost makes me collapse.
Moreover, they can only leave here at night and hide in the cabin during the day. Once they are exposed to the light of Hell Star for too long, their desires will be magnified, or they will have strong pessimistic emotions.
Soon, they found the ship that had left before them, but there were only a few corpses left on the ship. It seemed that they had a dispute over something and killed each other.
Qin Muxue knew that this was a matter of time, but the survivors on their ship were a group of people with low demands, and their desires were not that strong. Moreover, once the Hell Star appeared, Qin Muxue would let them hide in the cabin to avoid killing each other.
Qu Yanbai was driving the boat while looking at the map. "If we continue at our current speed, we should reach this area in a week."
The location on the map was originally in the sea, which means that in a week, they will enter the sea.
Qin Muxue still remembers the scene at the seaside during the extreme cold. The huge creature almost destroyed their plane.
The ocean is a very awe-inspiring place. There are countless unknown creatures living in it, and there are bound to be many mutated marine creatures.
It would not be a good thing for them if they encountered a large mutated whale or something like that.
Manman's morning sickness had become more and more severe. The apricots in Qin Muxue's space were ripe, so she picked some for her to eat.
For Qin Muxue, the apricots were so sour that they almost made her teeth fall out, but for Manman, they seemed like a life-saving straw.
A woman said, "Sour boy, spicy girl, you like sour food so much, maybe you are a boy!"
Manman just smiled and didn't answer her.
"It doesn't matter whether it's a boy or a girl, as long as the child is healthy and the adults are safe." Grandma Qu sighed. It is a great fortune that she can survive in the current situation.
Now Manman not only has to suffer on the boat, but she is also pregnant with twins, which is a burden on her body. Fortunately, they have no worries about food and drink on the boat.
Qin Muxue felt that this was not a solution, so she opened up all the entertainment options on the ship, including a karaoke room, a chess and card room, a reading room, and a game room. In this way, everyone's depressed mood was improved.
The entire ship is almost the same as on land, and is even more luxurious.
But the closer you are to the ocean, the more wind and waves you will encounter.
At this time, Qin Muxue's special abilities came in handy again. She found that she could even control these small waves, allowing the ship to move smoothly on the ocean, but she could not deal with a tsunami.
What you fear will come to pass. That night, the wind was howling.
Qin Muxue used a telescope to find that a tsunami more than ten meters high was approaching them. In less than five minutes, their ship would be swallowed by the tsunami.
"Drive to the right quickly. The tsunami is lower over there. We may still have a chance to escape!"
Qu Yanbai quickly turned to the right, while Qin Muxue used her special powers to control the surrounding sea water so that the ship could sail in that direction at the fastest speed.
The cabin was shaking and extremely bumpy. Everyone felt that the chance of survival in such a tsunami was too low. Some people even began their last prayers.
Because of the shaking, Manman started vomiting again. At the same time, she was also worried about Qu Yanbai and Qin Muxue in the cockpit.
She endured the discomfort and came to the cockpit, where she saw the tsunami approaching not far away.
She and Qin Muxue both grew up by the sea. They had encountered major typhoons and experienced all kinds of storms, and they knew well the dangers of the ocean.
"Manman, why are you here? Go back quickly! It's too dangerous here."
"Even if it's dangerous, I will stay with you." She looked at them with a firm look.
Qu Yanbai tried hard to steer the ship, "Look, the waves are smaller over there."
Qin Muxue used her mental power to make the waves rush to the other side.
The ship passed the first big wave smoothly, but the second wave followed.
"You must stay calm, believe us, we will survive!" At this time, Qin Muxue felt her other hand being tightly grasped in his hand.
"I believe you, Xiaoxue."
"Shi Yan, if we survive this time, let's get married!"
