Chapter 7 Rotten Apple

Before daybreak, the group set out. The off-road vehicle sped away, raising a cloud of dust, and several other vehicles followed behind.

Gu Bingchen sat in the back seat with his eyes closed, frowning, a little impatient.

No one expected that in order to find someone, the base commander also looked for other teams. Including the four of them, there were two more teams, and the captain of one of the teams had a personal grudge against him.

The battle was so big, and I had never heard that the base commander had a son before. He was still in Ningcheng. Is he sure he is still alive?

Crazy.

After arriving near Ningcheng, the three teams held a small meeting. A map with various colors marked was laid on the stone, and Gu Bingchen held an unlit cigarette in his mouth.

The base commander gave them several addresses, plus a specific risk assessment. The data showed that the most dangerous places were Ningcheng University and a farmhouse in the suburbs of Ningcheng.

It is worth mentioning that the distance between Ningcheng University and the scientific research center is very close, only a few kilometers away.

Is this really a coincidence, or a deliberate arrangement?

Gu Bingchen's eyes were cold.

Looking for someone in the end times is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

He didn't have any hope, just regarded it as a trip at public expense.

Regardless of whether he found it or not, the base commander gave a generous reward.

"Let's go to Huayuan Community." The first person to speak was a tall and thin man. He pointed to the place with the lowest danger index, raised his head, and smiled provocatively at Gu Bingchen, "Captain Gu is so powerful, why don't you go to Ningcheng University and Farmhouse, how about that?"

Tang Yizhao muttered to the side: "You are weak but you are right."

Almost all of the people present were psychics, and the tall and thin man naturally heard this muttering. He looked at Tang Yizhao with a gloomy expression and a rising tone, but with a strong malice: "Captain Gu really raised a good dog."

"Mu Weixi, you have..." Tang Yichao was about to curse back, but was stopped by Chu Wanyue. The gentle smile on her face faded a lot, and she said coldly: "Why waste your breath, the mad dog bit you, do you want to bite it back?"

The thin and tall man, that is, Mu Weixi, his face became even uglier. He turned around and took a step to leave, but unexpectedly fell down. Looking back angrily, there was a thorny vine on the ground.

"Chu Wanyue, you wait for me!" He stood up, gritted his teeth, and glared at Chu Wanyue fiercely.

With a loud "bang", the car door was slammed shut.

The people in the other team looked at each other.

I have heard a little about the conflict between the two teams, so I didn't feel very strange, but I was more or less curious about the reason.

Zheng Yunshu, the captain of the Jiyue team, took the initiative to speak to ease the atmosphere: "How about our team go to Ningcheng University, and leave the farmhouse and the library to you, is that okay?"

Gu Bingchen lowered his eyes, looking calm, and the dispute just now did not affect him at all.

On the colorful map, the distance between the farmhouse and the library was too large, while Ningcheng University and the farmhouse were closer. After thinking for a moment, he shook his head: "No, we can just go to Ningcheng University and the farmhouse."

"Okay." Zheng Yunshu looked up at the sky, "It's getting late, so let's split up here."

After that, he left with his team members.

Tang Yichao pouted, his face full of unhappiness: "It's so annoying. I can meet that crazy dog ​​Mu Weixi everywhere. It's unlucky."

Chu Wanyue put away the map and sat back in the driver's seat, her eyebrows slightly wrinkled: "Tang Tang, you can't be so impulsive in the future. Be careful when you go out." Who knows if the traitor Mu Weixi will use any sinister tricks in secret? One failure makes one wiser. It's enough to suffer a loss once.

She didn't say the second half of the sentence. She observed Jiang Yunqi's expression through the rearview mirror of the SUV, with a bit of scrutiny in her eyes.

Jiang Yunqi felt that the eyes were not very friendly. Although it made people uncomfortable, he didn't take it to heart.

If he knew that Mu Weixi was a traitor who was betraying his own people, his attitude would only become more ruthless, instead of simply making him fall and make a fool of himself.

He would choose to take action and directly deal with the person who betrayed him.

Ningcheng University and the farmhouse are both located at the other end of Ningcheng. Most of the cement roads in Ningcheng have collapsed, and it is impossible to drive in, so they can only take a detour. Therefore, when they arrived near Ningcheng University, it was already two days later.

Tang Yichao got out of the car and stretched his waist comfortably: "After a day and a night, we are finally here. My butt is sore from sitting."

Gu Bingchen put the off-road vehicle back into the space. The road ahead was full of abandoned cars, rubble and fallen trees. The car could not drive in, so they could only walk for a while.

......

The sour smell of rotten apples is just so-so after a while. None of them feel disgusted or nauseous. They are just glad that they still have food to eat.

A weak, thin, pretty girl sat next to a trash can with a pale face, staring at the rotten apple core in her hand, swallowing her saliva. She hadn't eaten or drunk water for nearly two days.

Suddenly, a faint and tiny whimper sounded in the corner. The girl ran back quickly, covered the child's mouth with her rough black hands, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes.

"Hush, baby, don't make a sound." She shook her head frantically, not daring to make a loud sound with her mouth, otherwise, the monster lurking in the dark would find them!

The child covered by her hands widened his eyes, tears swirling in his eyes.

The girl listened carefully and finally breathed a sigh of relief when she found that it was as quiet as ever.

She slowly let go of her hand, squatted down, her eyes reddened, took out a candy that was about to melt from her pocket, and kissed the child's forehead with pity: "Good baby, sister will find a lot of delicious food soon." "

Sister will definitely take you back to the base safely." The girl whispered, gently holding the child in her arms, her tone full of determination.

At this time, a shadow blocked the dazzling sunlight. She was startled and looked up, and then she met a pair of sinister and bloodthirsty eyes. The owner of the eyes looked at her coldly and ruthlessly: "So you ran here, little mouse."

The girl was so scared that she picked up the child and ran away quickly.

"Still want to escape?" The corner of the man's mouth curled up a cruel smile.

With a "bang", the girl was shot in the calf.

She pushed the child in her arms away, spitting out blood, and shouted "Run!"

The child ran away, his small body fell down many times, and tears as big as beans wet his whole face.

He wanted to find someone to save his sister!

"Speed ​​​​ability user?" The man grabbed the girl's hair and lowered his head with a bit of amusement, "No wonder he ran away, do you think I can't catch him?" "

No hurry, deal with you first."

He grabbed the girl's hair and dragged her forward. The blood stains the whole ground red.

The gate of Ningcheng University.

Tang Yichao kicked away a male zombie that was biting him, threw a fireball over, and his whole body was on fire. Soon, a milky white crystal core fell to the ground.

"Have you found a problem?" He picked up the crystal core the size of a pigeon egg and frowned, "The zombies in Ningcheng all have crystal cores in their heads."

Usually, among the ten zombies they encounter, only three may have crystal cores.

Gu Bingchen's mind flashed the blue liquid he saw in the secret room of the scientific research center last time, and he had a guess in his heart.

Jiang Yunqi opened the door and chopped off the neck of the zombie stuck on the railing with an axe. Since he stepped into Ningcheng, he felt a familiar breath, and the closer he walked to Ningcheng University, the stronger the feeling became.

He could come to the Blue Star two thousand years ago. Does it mean that his comrades will also come here?

He, who had always been calm and composed, suddenly had a little expectation.

Then, Gu Bingchen and the others found that Jiang Yunqi's pace was getting faster and faster, and more and more zombies fell beside him.

"No, brother, you should at least take the zombie crystal cores with you."

Poor Tang Yichao, he had to dig crystal cores while walking, and his hands were not clean.

"What are you looking for?" Gu Bingchen noticed that Jiang Yunqi was a little excited, and asked curiously, "You seem to be looking forward to it."

Jiang Yunqi was stunned for a moment, then calmed down. Yes, if the dead could come to the Blue Star two thousand years ago, then no one in the interstellar world would be afraid of death.

What he had just thought was just his unfounded conjecture.

"No." His voice was clear, as calm and composed as usual.

But Gu Bingchen keenly caught the disappointment that quickly flashed across Jiang Yunqi's eyes.

He did not continue to ask, but turned around and ordered Tang Yichao to collect all the crystal cores.

"Captain, there is someone here..." Chu Wanyue was sharp-eyed and saw a child lying next to the trash can outside the security room, probably only four or five years old, "He should have fainted."

Gu Bingchen glanced at him indifferently and ignored him.

Chu Wanyue walked over, took out a bottle of mineral water and a piece of bread and put them on the ground.

"Sister... Sister." A pair of tender hands suddenly grabbed Chu Wanyue's pants. Fortunately, she reacted quickly, otherwise the water blade would have chopped her down.

The child opened his red and swollen eyes. There were no more tears in his eyes. His face was quite dirty and covered with tears. His voice was hoarse because he cried too much. He said, "Xiaobao, please save my sister."

After saying that, he was afraid that the older brothers and sisters in front of him would not agree. He stood up weakly, bent his legs, and knelt on the gravel ground.

"Xiaobao, please, wuwuwu, Xiaobao will repay his brothers and sisters, please."

Chu Wanyue, who was about to pry the child's hands apart, paused for a moment, and just bent his waist with a look of astonishment on his

face. The child's suppressed crying and pleading made the adults present feel uncomfortable.

Tang Yichao sneered and was about to cry. He glanced at the eldest brother who didn't say anything.

"Okay, what are you looking at me for? Then help me. Am I that kind of cold-blooded person?" Gu Bingchen stretched out his hand and pinched the child's skinny face, smiling, "You said it, you have to repay us in the future."

The child hiccuped a few times and nodded obediently: "Xiaobao is a good child and never lies."

Jiang Yunqi stepped forward, leaned over to pick up the child, gently wiped the dust off the child's face, and a trace of barely perceptible heartache flashed in his dark phoenix eyes.

Except for a few criminals and criminals who grew up on the garbage planet, most of the empire's cubs were with their parents. Not to mention being pampered, they also grew up safely.

Jiang Yunqi has been wandering on the Garbage Planet for many years. It was the Marshal who gave him a stable growth environment. For this reason, his original intention of defending his country was to give these children a peaceful and stable life, so that they would no longer suffer from the invasion of the Zerg.

However, the Blue Star cubs two thousand years ago were displaced and wandering in the apocalyptic environment, and could not grow up happily and safely.
