Chapter 40 Expired Melon Seeds
Xu Kewen was the mastermind, but he was a minor, so he had to be put in a juvenile detention center for education.
Who would have thought that the world would end just two days after he entered.
After the outbreak of the doomsday, Xu Kewen escaped from dozens of dangers and met Du Po in a rural village.
Xiao He was Du Po's grandson.
The two teamed up and cheated along the way to barely fill their stomachs.
"So much nonsense, I don't want to listen to stories." Gu Bingchen squatted on the stone, shaking a wooden stick and hitting the weeds on the roadside in boredom.
Jiang Yunqi glanced at him with his peripheral vision, and pushed the dagger in his hand forward twice, as if urging Xu Kewen to get to the point.
Xu Kewen bit his lip, his face showing humiliation.
"I later awakened my superpowers, and after learning that zombie crystal cores can replenish depleted superpowers, I had an idea."
He is a smart man with a quick mind. When he
thought of zombie crystal cores, he thought of superpowers. Since crystal cores can replenish depleted superpowers, why can't superpowers be used?
He didn't dare to touch high-level superpowers, so he set his sights on low-level superpowers.
However, superpowers these days travel in groups, and he rarely has the opportunity to take action.
Until he met Jixue and the others.
"You mean, Kuihua is a superpower?!" Jixue frowned.
Xu Kewen looked away, not daring to look into Jixue's eyes: "Yes, but because he just woke up, there is no crystal core in his brain."
Tan Ling suddenly interrupted: "Wait a minute, who told you that people with special abilities also have crystal cores in their heads?"
Xu Kewen's eyes were erratic, not daring to answer.
Lin Jinnan suddenly thought of something, his mind buzzed, and his ears tinnitus.
"You...you dug open his head..." His voice was a little hoarse, as if he hadn't drunk any water.
Being questioned, Xu Kewen remained silent.
The answer was obvious from his appearance.
"Yes, I dug it up and found no crystal core, so I ate his flesh, drank his blood, and broke the bones to make soup, so what!" Xu Kewen was in front of everyone, and he was so desperate that he said with a sinister look in his eyes, "I just ate human flesh, so my level was raised, so what? Kill me!"
At this point, he could guess his fate, so he might as well tell them everything, maybe it would anger them and make his death more painful.
But Jiang Yunqi didn't do what he wanted. He put the dagger back to its original place, his eyes were slightly gloomy, his tone was indifferent, and it was chilling. He said: "Jixue, it's better to avenge yourself."
Then, under Xu Kewen's incredulous eyes, in an instant, the invisible mental power covered his mind like a huge net.
Xu Kewen's eyes were dull and his eyes lost their light.
Lin Jinnan's eyes were filled with horror.
What kind of superpower is this?
It can actually destroy others!
A relieved smile appeared on Jixue's pretty face. She walked forward and grabbed the stupid Xu Kewen, tied his limbs with ropes, and dragged him on the ground. She raised her eyes and looked at Jiang Yunqi's blue eyes, which were twinkling like gems. Her clear and pleasant voice was filled with gratitude: "Thank you."
Jiang Yunqi's lips curved slightly, and his clear voice was a little gentle: "You have to thank yourself."
"This world is terrible, I hope you are still full of hope."
"Live well."
He put his hand on Jixue's shoulder and pushed her forward.
The girl paused for a moment, her slender back gleaming with golden light in the dusk. She looked back and smiled: "Of course, I still want to take a good look at the world for Kuihua and the others. Maybe one day, the end of the world will end?"
"Why are you smiling so gently?"
After watching the back of Jixue go away, Gu Bingchen crossed his arms and stood there motionless, his face full of unhappiness.
Jiang Yunqi was slightly stunned.
Gentle?
Is there?
As if seeing the doubt in Jiang Yunqi's eyes, Gu Bingchen touched the corner of his mouth with his finger: "Look, the corner of your mouth is still raised."
Jiang Yunqi subconsciously touched the corner of his lips and tilted his head, not understanding what Gu Bingchen meant by that question.
Gu Bingchen asked again: "Do you like her?"
"No." Jiang Yunqi shook his head and frowned slightly, "She's still a child."
Gu Bingchen was choked. For a moment, he didn't understand why he was so abnormal just now.
Puzzled, he simply shut up.
Tan Ling popped her head out from behind Lin Jinnan and asked cautiously: "So what are we going to do now?"
"What? Let's go. Do you still want to stay here for one night?" Gu Bingchen has always been angry with people regardless of gender. When he is in a bad mood, he will say something to even a dog.
Lin Jinnan was obviously used to Gu Bingchen's mood swings. He followed his pace and asked, "What is that Xiaohe?"
Gu Bingchen glanced at him and said sarcastically, "It doesn't have ears. It seems that we still have to report to Captain Lin."
"..." Lin Jinnan helplessly rubbed his forehead, "That's not what I meant."
Jiang Yunqi searched through the space button and pockets, but didn't find a candy. He only touched a bag of melon seeds. Without thinking, he stuffed it into Gu Bingchen's arms.
???
Is this to coax him?
Absolutely!
Gu Bingchen's anger suddenly subsided, and he happily tore open the package and ate the melon seeds.
Even under Tan Ling's eager eyes, he smacked his lips, with a smug smile on his handsome face.
Tan Ling looked away with difficulty. She really liked the taste of spiced melon seeds, but she didn't dare to eat them.
Gu Bingchen, who was immersed in his own world, didn't notice the expiration date on the packaging bag.
Calculating the days, it should have been expired for half a year.
Tan Ling glanced at the date, opened her mouth, and swallowed the reminder.
Forget it, as long as the boss is happy.
Besides, eating bad things should not have a big impact on people with special abilities. It will just cause diarrhea at most.
As she thought about it, her mind began to wander, and she did not hear the conversation between Lin Jinnan and Jiang Yunqi at all.
Jiang Yunqi spoke little, but every word was important.
Lin Jinnan gradually learned everything that happened in the morning.
.......
The little humanoid monster with a bloody mouth was about to bite them.
Jiang Yunqi pulled the stunned Jixue back quickly and asked her to find a safe place to wait.
"Hiss, what the hell is this thing?"
Gu Bingchen kicked the tree trunk with his long legs, using the force to avoid the attack of the snake's tail.
"Neither human nor snake, it has wings, it's a bit ugly."
I don't know if this little monster can understand human language. It ignored Jiang Yunqi's attack and beat Gu Bingchen fiercely.
"What's wrong with you? Why do you hit me but not you? It's not fair!" Gu Bingchen swung his Tang sword, and the little monster's snake tail was cut in half by the sharp weapon.
The little monster howled "Ah", the sound was sharp and piercing.
Jiang Yunqi was silent for a long while: "You...can talk less."
Gu Bingchen's ears were a little painful from the shock. When he heard Jiang Yunqi's words, he was stunned for a moment, and slightly widened his eyes: "Do you think I talk too much?"
"......"
"Why don't you talk? Did I say it right?"
"No." Jiang Yunqi sighed, "Deal with this thing first."
"Humph! Okay."
Gu Bingchen bent down and stabbed the dagger into the side of the little monster's waist.
Jiang Yunqi seized the opportunity and chopped off the little monster's head with an axe.
The little monster, who was struggling fiercely under Gu Bingchen's control, gradually became motionless.
"So weak?" Gu Bingchen was a little surprised.
"This is artificially stitched." Jiang Yunqi bent down to observe the body, picked up a branch and scratched the wound on the body, saying, "There are stitches between the snake's tail and the human's crotch, and the back."
Gu Bingchen walked closer and saw that it was indeed.
"This thing is still a zombie in nature."
"Yes, it meets all the characteristics of a zombie." Jiang Yunqi patted the dust on his hands and stood up.
The snow hiding on the big tree skillfully slid down holding the tree trunk. She pointed at the head of the little monster rolling in the mud pit and said affirmatively: "This is the Xiaohe I told you about."
She thought for a while and said, "When I first saw him, he didn't look like this."
At this time, Jiang Yunqi seemed to have discovered something, and the sharp dagger cut the black seam, revealing the lower body of the little boy.
"Damn, so disgusting!"
Gu Bingchen covered his nose and quickly retreated, while not forgetting to pull Jiang Yunqi away.
Only Jixue was left to face the disgusting scene.
Jixue: "..."
"What kind of disgusting thing is this?" In the past six months, Gu Bingchen had seen so many big scenes, but none of them was as shocking as the one in front of him.
In the muddy pit, a section of the snake's tail was separated from the human body, and the reddish-brown blood flowing from the mutilated body was mixed with large white and pink small balls.
A closer look showed that Xiaohe had no legs at all. He was directly connected to the snake's tail after his lower body was cut off.
Presumably, the wings that grew from the butterfly bones were grown in the same way.
Jixue asked, "What are those round objects?"
The moment Jiang Yunqi saw the small round balls flowing out of the corpse's abdomen, his face suddenly changed. He poked it twice with a wooden stick as if he was uncertain, and said in a cold voice, "These are insect eggs."
Gu Bingchen: "Insect... insect eggs?"
"But, logically speaking, they should be snake eggs."
Jiang Yunqi has fought with the insect tribe for so many years. Even though there are some differences between the insects on Blue Star and the interstellar insect tribe, he is very clear about the habits and structure of insects.
Therefore, he can be sure that these small round balls that are still trembling are insect eggs.
Those countless insect eggs are densely scattered in the mud, and Jixue is so frightened that goose bumps appear all over his body.
Trypophobia can't see anything at all.
"Use fire to burn these things." Jiang Yunqi took out a burning stone from the space button, then threw it into the mud pit and borrowed Gu Bingchen's lighter.
The fire instantly devoured everything.
A strange stench was floating in the air.
"Are you okay?" Thinking of Jiang Yunqi's keen sense of smell, Gu Bingchen handed him a handkerchief, "There is no new handkerchief, so use this one."
Jiang Yunqi lowered his eyes, and the handkerchief exuded a faint floral scent.
"Thank you."
The depressed mood strangely improved a little.
