Chapter 2 Three Conditions

The morning light was dim, the sun rose from the east, and this terrible world ushered in a new day.

Jiang Yunqi rubbed his dry eyes, and looked sideways at Gu Bingchen who was leaning against the railing and smoking.

The breeze was blowing, and the smoke was lingering. The man tilted his head slightly, facing the wind and looking forward, his sword-like eyebrows were slightly frowned, his lips were tightly pursed, and I don’t know what he was thinking.

The air was filled with a faint smell of tobacco, which was a smell that Jiang Yunqi had never smelled before.

"Jiang Yunqi." Gu Bingchen's voice was hoarse as if he had just woken up. His bony index and middle fingers held a cigarette that was about to burn out. On his high nose bridge, he wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses that came from nowhere, adding a bit of elegance and warmth. "Have you recovered your memory?"

Jiang Yunqi shook his head: "No."

Gu Bingchen clicked his tongue lightly, put out the cigarette butt in his hand, raised his eyes, and looked into Jiang Yunqi's inky black eyes: "I can take you with me, but only if you agree to my three conditions."

Jiang Yunqi stood up, walked to Gu Bingchen and stood still. He leaned his hands on the cold railing and looked over. Downstairs, there were zombies of various shapes and staggering steps gathered in groups of two or three.

He had no memory. To Jiang Yunqi, this world was strange, and even his own cognition was strange.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Yunqi nodded: "Okay, I promise you."

Gu Bingchen never made a deal without profit. He was a businessman, and he valued the word "profit" the most.

Investment is a profound and good subject. Through yesterday's simple understanding, he understood that the man in front of him was very skilled. As long as he didn't do anything stupid, he would definitely do something in the future. For him, the benefits outweighed the disadvantages.

Moreover, he was very pleasing to the eye.

"The first request is to help me complete the task." Gu Bingchen took out a booklet from his backpack and handed it to Jiang Yunqi. "No matter if it is a zombie, a cadaver, or a mutant plant or animal, there will be a milky white crystal in their body. I need you to help me collect fifty crystal cores."

"Not all zombies have crystal cores. Be careful not to be caught or bitten by zombies, otherwise, even the Great Immortal can't save you." As he said that, he took out a milky white crystal the size of a pigeon egg from his pocket and placed it in Jiang Yunqi's palm. "This is the crystal core."

But before Jiang Yunqi could take a closer look, the crystal core instantly lost its milky white luster and became a gray waste stone.

Jiang Yunqi: "???"

He didn't do anything!

A trace of doubt and surprise flashed across Jiang Yunqi's dark eyes. This milky white crystal seemed to have a special energy entering his body, gently soothing his brain, which was always aching. Gu

Bingchen pushed his glasses, a gleam in his eyes, a superpower?

It seems that he really made a good investment.

Only superpowers can absorb the energy in the crystal core.

I just don't know what superpowers this high-altitude flower in front of me has awakened.

Jiang Yunqi exerted a little force, and the gray crystal shattered into powder in his palm, and then was blown away by the wind: "It seems to be useless."

"Uh-huh, now you owe me fifty-one crystal cores." A barely perceptible smile flashed across Gu Bingchen's eyes.

......

In the dark and gloomy underground space, the sticky liquid exudes a pungent stench, white bones are piled up into small hills, flesh and limbs are everywhere, and green vines are slowly crawling on the wall like a giant python.

She seemed to be dying.

Yuan Lu's face turned pale, his lips turned purple, his pupils dilated, his heart beat slower and slower, and his thin body was covered with vines.

I just hope that Tongtong can bring the things back to the base smoothly.

At this moment, a flame suddenly lit up, and then the entire underground space was on fire, and the vines entangled with Yuan Lu gradually loosened.

The green vines like a giant python were frightened and quickly moved away from the hot flames.

A phantom quietly approached Yuan Lu.

"Tong...Tongtong?" Yuan Yu felt a familiar breath in his drowsiness.

A low voice sounded in his ears. It was Yang Yitong.

"Hush, don't talk. I'll get you out."

After saying that, he picked up Yuan Yu and tried to sneak out by using the invisibility ability while the vines were not paying attention.

However, these vines were not good people. They soon noticed something was wrong and immediately squirmed to chase the two people who were desperately running away.

Yang Yitong's ability was about to run out. His throat was dry and itchy. He clenched his teeth and swallowed the blood that was surging in his throat.

Hold on a little longer. In front... in front is the gate!

Neither Yuan Yu and his companions, who were fleeing, nor the giant green vine that was chasing them, noticed that a few hundred meters away, two handsome men were standing in the open space, one of them wearing a high ponytail.

"Want to save them?" Gu Bingchen moved his joints, glanced sideways, and looked at the young man beside him with a smile.

Jiang Yunqi pursed his lips.

Gu Bingchen's voice was so calm that it made people shudder: "Do you know what is the most terrifying thing in the doomsday?"

"It's not the zombies that eat people, nor those terrifying monsters, but the unfathomable..."

Jiang Yunqi answered first, his voice clear and bright: "I know, it's the human heart."

"You know? Then why are you still going to do it?" Gu Bingchen raised his eyebrows slightly.

However, Jiang Yunqi did not answer. He weighed the fire axe in his hand, strode towards Yuan Yu and the others, and before leaving, he only left a faint sentence, "If you don't want to, forget it."

Gu Bingchen was stunned for a moment, and then he chuckled.

This person is interesting.

Why does he care so much about the life and death of others?

Is he a soldier?

That would be more interesting.

His eyes became deeper.

On the other side, Yang Yitong's ability was completely exhausted, and the figures of the two gradually appeared, and countless green vines came from all directions.

Yuan Yu's limbs were weak and his body was full of wounds. Not only could he not help, but he also held Yang Yitong back.

She moved her body, her breath weak: "You can still run away by yourself if you leave me behind."

"No! I will take you out even if I die!" Yang Yitong's eyes welled up with tears.

If only they hadn't accepted this mission.

"Okay, don't be so desperate. Give me 50 crystal cores, 200 kilograms of rice, 200 kilograms of flour, and two pistols, and I will be merciful and save your lives."

Yuan Yu looked up and her pupils shrank: "It's you, Gu Bingchen."

Unlike Yuan Yu's stunned and surprised expression, Yang Yitong agreed without thinking. As long as Sister Yuan could survive, he would do anything.

"OK, deal done." Gu Bingchen nodded with satisfaction, took out a medical kit from the space and threw it to the two of them, and then the boss stood aside and watched the battle.

The axe in Jiang Yunqi's hand was now covered with sticky green liquid, and his feet were already filled with vines that he had cut.

The vine that dominated this place and persecuted countless people was threatened for the first time, which made it feel jealous and timid, so its attacks on Jiang Yunqi became more and more fierce.

"Aren't you going to help?" Yang Yitong was a little surprised.

"No need."

Gu Bingchen cut off the vine that wanted to sneak attack him, his eyes were indifferent and his expression was cold.

He just wanted to confirm again whether this man named Jiang Yunqi was worth his investment.

The giant vine that seemed difficult to deal with was actually easy to kill. The difficulty was just how to avoid these numerous small vines.

Each vine was covered with sharp thorns, and it would be pricked if you were not careful.

Jiang Yunqi was very agile, and the vines could not pierce his skin no matter what. Instead, they were defeated step by step.

The booklet said that no matter how plants mutate, they are essentially afraid of fire, and plants need water the most.

After narrowly avoiding the attack of the vines again, Jiang Yunqi took a big step back, his eyes quickly scanned the giant vines, and finally stopped at a certain place.

The weakness, found!

Jiang Yunqi's movements were very agile and fast. The closer he got to that place, the more fierce the vines' attacks became.

The axe had been blunted long ago. Jiang Yunqi immediately pulled out the dagger he carried with him from his wrist. The handle of the dagger was engraved with exquisite and flourishing patterns. Under the sunlight, it reflected a cold light. He thrust forward with force.

The vines that were chasing him behind him fell to the ground, smashing on the ground and raising clouds of dust.

Immediately afterwards, a golden arrow broke through the wind and suddenly pierced the roots of the vines.

Jiang Yunqi looked back. Behind him, a handsome man stood against the light, holding a golden bow in his hand, with a sharp look.

......

"You mean, there is safe soil for planting in this broken place?"

In the suburbs, Gu Bingchen added another piece of wood to the fire.

The self-healing ability of the superpowers is very strong. After half a day of recuperation, Yuan Yu was much better. She frowned and said, "Yes, I didn't believe it at first, until the relevant person in charge took me to the research institute."

"As far as I know, the research institute received a box, a map, and a handwritten letter five days ago. The content of the letter described the source of the soil, and the location of the soil was marked in detail on the map with a red pen." "

The base commander sent a superpower team to investigate whether the news was true."

Gu Bingchen: "So you took this task."

Yuan Yu: "Yes, but we didn't expect, and the intelligence didn't show that there were mutant plants around the soil!"

As she spoke, her emotions began to stir.

If the intelligence was not wrong, they would not have lost their teammates who fought side by side.

There were five people before the departure, but now there are only two people left.

Even if they were careless beforehand, if there was no problem with the intelligence, how could they be so careless that they were attacked by the mutant vine.

Yang Yitong on the side reached out and patted Yuan Lu's shoulder. His eyes were sour, and he was also holding back anger in his heart, and he was also sad for his teammates who died.

"Where's the soil?" Gu Bingchen's tone was calm, not affected at all. It was still because this group of people were not vigilant enough that caused heavy losses. "I think you should have taken the soil."

Yuan Lu's expression was complicated. This person's insight was indeed sharp.

She signaled Yang Yitong to take out the soil with her eyes, and the latter reluctantly took out a small jar from her backpack.

Gu Bingchen poured out some soil under the two people's sad eyes.

Since the outbreak of the doomsday, all the land on the earth cannot grow crops. Even if the crops are successfully grown, the food cannot be eaten because the soil contains a large amount of zombie virus, just like water, whether it is a small river or a big river, it also contains zombie virus and cannot be drunk.

In this way, food and water sources become extremely precious.

Ningcheng is located in Y Province. It is a small coastal city with a permanent population of nearly four million. Its economic development is relatively slow. It belongs to the fourth-tier city.

But such an ordinary city is the first place in the country where the zombie virus broke out, and it is also the first city to be completely destroyed.

The Meicheng base, which had just been established, immediately issued an order to blockade Ningcheng from all directions. After confirming that there were no survivors inside, it used thermal weapons and carried out large-scale bombing.

Later, Ningcheng completely turned into a desolate land.

Therefore, Gu Bingchen felt strange that Ningcheng, which was supposed to have no living creatures, not only had a large number of zombies flooding in, but also alien creatures such as three-headed dogs and giant vines.

In addition, there was actually safe soil for planting.

It would not be surprising to find it anywhere, but it happened to be in Ningcheng.

Another task of Gu Bingchen was to go to the scientific research center in Ningcheng to search for relevant research reports.

It is said that the director of the scientific research institute of the current Meicheng base is the director of the Ningcheng scientific research center.

This series is too much of a coincidence.

Gu Bingchen always felt like he was being tricked.

Thinking of this, his face turned gloomy, his eyes cold as ice. "Do you want

to eat it? It's very sweet."

The steaming sweet potato was broken into two halves, the orange-red flesh was filled with a sweet aroma, Gu Bingchen turned around and saw that it was Jiang Yunqi.

"Don't you want to eat it? It's really sweet." Seeing that Gu Bingchen didn't respond, Jiang Yunqi directly stuffed the sweet and soft sweet potato into his mouth.

Gu Bingchen was stunned for a moment, and swallowed the sweet potato in his mouth unconsciously.

Just as the young man said, it was really sweet.

Under the firelight, Jiang Yunqi's eyes were as bright as stars, very beautiful.

His irritable mood strangely calmed down.

"What's on your face?" Gu Bingchen stared at Jiang Yunqi's face for a long time.

???

Hearing this, Jiang Yunqi touched his face. He didn't notice the charcoal black on his hands, so he made his face even dirtier.

Seeing this, Gu Bingchen couldn't help laughing, and a faint smile appeared in his eyes. Suddenly, he reached out and pinched Jiang Yunqi's face: "Little cat."

The brother and sister on the opposite side of the campfire looked at each other.

What's the situation?

Didn't Gu Bingchen say that he would kick anyone who approached him?

Huh? What's the situation now!
