Chen Li finally couldn't hold on, and she ended her life before she fell into sleep with her last bit of consciousness.
Chen Xu told himself rationally that this was the best choice. But emotionally, he simply couldn't bear to watch this person, who was probably his only relative in the world, die in front of him, nor could he accept that she would leave him like this.
So when Chen Xu saw Chen Li about to pull the trigger on her pistol, his first reaction was to stop her. But in the end, he stopped when he saw her relieved look.
Yes, living like this is indeed more painful than death.
Chen Xu sat on the ground in a daze, watching the person in his arms die. After a long while, he finally let the tears fall and cried out loudly.
The depressing voice makes people feel depressed.
As early as when Chen Li was about to commit suicide, the members of the Dawn Team had voluntarily left the stairwell and went to other places, leaving this place to Chen Xu alone.
Chen Xu didn't need any comfort, because at this moment, the words of comfort from others were pale and powerless.
…
Gu Yicheng helped Ruan Ning to the dining hall on the first floor and found a cleaner place to sit down.
"Brother, if I die one day, will you be sad?" Ruan Ning suddenly thought of something, blinked, looked at Gu Yicheng and asked.
The tall man at the side was silent for a moment, and then, without seeming to pause, he said calmly, "No."
Ruan Ning: "..." When the atmosphere was right, even if she told a lie to comfort her, it would be much better than being so ruthless and pointing out the fact that they were just fake siblings. The key point was that she thought they had been getting along well during this period, so she should be more tactful at this heart-to-heart moment.
Ruan Ning was suddenly overwhelmed with mixed feelings.
"Because there won't be such a day." Gu Yicheng's voice was deep and magnetic. He took a bottle of water for Ruan Ning and handed it to her, "Ningning, I hope you can live well."
Ruan Ning's heart was in turmoil, and the sadness that had just arisen in her heart disappeared after hearing his words.
To be honest, when she saw Chen Li trying to commit suicide and leave this world, she couldn't help but have a thought: If one day, she disappeared from this world, would anyone remember her existence?
When Gu Yicheng said so straightforwardly that he wouldn't be sad, she was still a little melancholy for a while.
Now that she thought about it, she was simply asking for trouble. Not to mention that she was still alive and well, even if she really died, that would happen after her death, and she wouldn't be able to see it anyway.
It is not particularly important to her whether anyone in this world remembers her or not.
Since Gu Yicheng had just agreed to Chen Li's request, he would not go back on his word.
He asked Xue Chen and Dacheng to take An Yi and Su Yunjin, who were not very strong, and Chen Xu to stay outside the school, waiting for them at the construction site where they had set up the tent last night. After the rest of them came out of the school, they would find a place for Chen Xu to stay.
Gu Yicheng planned to send Chen Xu to Base No. 3. This was the most suitable place for him to go at the moment. And no matter whether they found Chaozi's family in the end or not, they would have to pass by this base in the end and take them with them.
Even though he only saw Chen Li's zombie during this trip to the cafeteria, Gu Yicheng was able to confirm that there were indeed third-level zombies in B University. And there really was more than one third-level zombie.
There are many second-level mutant zombies in the B University campus. This time it is more dangerous than he thought before he came. So it is not convenient to bring so many people.
Ruan Ning originally thought that she would be left in the car by the male protagonist like Chen Xu and the others. After all, her fighting power might be enough to defeat Su Yunjin in this team.
But what Ruan Ning didn't expect was that Gu Yicheng actually brought her along this time.
Ruan Ning didn't know whether to be happy or worried about this result.
If she continued to visit B University with the male lead, it would mean that she would encounter more dangers. If she was not careful, she would fall into the belly of a zombie. There were at least thousands of zombies in the B University campus, and her small body would not be enough even if she gave each zombie a piece.
But Ruan Ning also doesn't like the feeling of staying in the car and waiting for someone.
Xie Fei helped Chen Xu cremate Chen Li's body.
Chen Xu knew very well in his heart that his sister probably didn't want to die in the appearance of a zombie.
There was nothing Ruan Ning could do. She could only take out a palm-sized cloth bag with a tied mouth from the space so that he could take Chen Li's ashes with him and leave a memory of her.
"Thank you for helping my sister. Thank you so much! Especially Miss Ruan, you helped my brother and I a lot. You made it possible for Lili to leave this world without any regrets." Chen Xu took something out of his pocket. "Oh, this is the crystal core. Lili asked me to give it to you before she left."
There are two crystal cores in Chen Li's body.
One is a gold crystal core, about the size of a thumb. It should be a second-level crystal core.
One was a power crystal core, which was transparent, but with a thin gray line flashing through it from time to time. This was the third-order crystal core. It was slightly larger than the second-order crystal core, about the size of the sweet dates that people ate before the end of the world.
However, when Chen Xu saw the two crystal cores, he also felt strange. This was the first time he had seen such a situation. Her sister was a second-level gold-type psychic. Chen Xu didn't know where the power-type crystal core came from. Moreover, Chen Xu was still immersed in the grief of Chen Li's death and couldn't get out of it. This crystal core was picked out from his sister's ashes, so he had no interest in investigating the reason.
Gu Yicheng accepted the third-level crystal core. This time, with his third-level ability, he was not safe. It would be better to upgrade his ability level as soon as possible.
As for the gold crystal core, Gu Yicheng naturally gave it to Xue Chen, who was also a gold-type superpower in the team. Gu Yicheng had always been confident in Xue Chen's strength and character, otherwise he would not have handed over An Yi, Su Yunjin and the others to him. He led a group of people to wait outside the school. If they could advance during this period, they could better protect others even if they encountered any unexpected situation.
Because of the delay caused by Chen Xu's brother and sister, it was already eight o'clock in the morning when Xue Chen and others sent Chen Xu away from the other side of the wall.
More than two hours had passed since they set out from the construction site.
The person Gu Yicheng and his friends were looking for was not in the second canteen, so the next place they had to go was the first canteen next door. There were only a few teaching buildings between the first and second canteens.
Without Chen Li, the third-level zombie, guarding the second cafeteria, the members of the Dawn Team encountered several zombies as soon as they walked out of the front door of the cafeteria.
Ruan Ning did not hide behind the crowd and slack off. She cheered up and helped kill the zombies. She could not beat the mutant zombies, but she could still help with the ordinary zombies.
Although the team did not go up to investigate the teaching buildings, the situation was not optimistic. Glass fragments from the upper floors were scattered all over the ground around the teaching buildings. Looking up, one could see a body hanging from the window. This person was in great pain before he died, his face was distorted, and bright red blood flowed out of his broken head and flowed down the wall to the lower floor.
This bloody scene was really scary at first glance. Ruan Ning didn't dare to look closely when he saw the corpse and quickly looked away.
What Ruan Ning saw and heard along the way made her fully feel that this B University had really turned from an ivory tower into a hell on earth. She felt a chill in her heart and secretly moved a little closer to the person next to her.
It's good to lean against a big tree to enjoy the coolness. She should stay by Gu Yicheng's side. She feels much safer as long as the male protagonist is by her side.
After coming out of the second cafeteria, they did not encounter any third-level zombies, nor did they encounter large-scale zombie groups. This was a lucky thing for the Dawn Squad, as it allowed them to arrive at the first cafeteria smoothly without wasting too much energy.
Unlike the second cafeteria, the two front doors of the first cafeteria were not only tightly closed, but also locked from the inside. Some chairs were used to block the damaged part of the door, and the whole place was sealed tightly, ensuring that the zombies around could not smell the breath of the living.
Jiang Jingchao's psychic ability also came in handy at this time, "Brother Gu, there are people in this cafeteria, and there are quite a few of them."
Jiang Jingchao gave a rough figure.
Because they didn't know whether Jiang Jingyang was among these dozens of people, they couldn't just stand downstairs and shout his name loudly with a loudspeaker and make a loud noise to attract the zombies, so they might have to think of a way to go into the cafeteria to check.
"What are you guys doing here? Oh, by the way, let me tell you first, there is no food left in the cafeteria for more people to take shelter in. If you are planning to hide from the zombies here, I advise you not to even think about it and find another place." Not long after they appeared at the cafeteria door, a girl with short hair poked her head in front of the door and looked at each of them through the double glass door.
Perhaps because they were afraid of attracting zombies, the girl's voice was very soft, and because it was through the door, it was a little unclear.
Jiang Jingchao frowned and walked a little closer. He finally understood what she said and said, "We are not here to seek refuge. We are here to look for someone. We will come out as soon as we find someone."
The short-haired girl looked at Jiang Jingchao, who was tall and didn't look like a bad guy, and bit her lip. She still had no intention of letting them in. She just said, "Looking for someone? Tell me who you're looking for, or I'll ask for you."
Jiang Jingchao was not particularly dissatisfied with the man's decision not to let them in.
His purpose didn't have to be to enter the cafeteria, as long as he could find his brother.
So Jiang Jingchao told Jiang Jingyang's age, class and name.
"Okay, I've got that. I'll go in and ask for you, but I can't guarantee that I'll be able to find out anything." Seeing that the people at the door really didn't seem to have any intention of coming in to take over the territory, the girl with short hair breathed a sigh of relief and went in with peace of mind.
After the others were out of sight, Lin Yang walked over, put his hand on Jiang Jingchao's shoulder and asked, "Chaozi, are we really just going to let her ask and be done with it? What if she pretends to obey you but actually does something against your will?" If he were in this situation, he would just force his way in without thinking twice.
Jiang Jingchao saw the man next to him was very excited, so he knew what he was up to. He twitched his mouth and said, "Lin Yang, don't cause trouble here. If you really break in like this, and you can't find anyone, don't let these people really think we are bad guys."
Lin Yang also knew how important it was for Jiang Jingchao to find someone. Seeing that he disagreed, he said "oh" and waited at the door with little interest, waiting for the girl to come out and reply to the message.
After a while, the short-haired girl came out of the cafeteria again and told them with regret that the person they were looking for was not in the cafeteria.
But after she finished speaking, she hesitated for a moment, as if she didn't know whether she should say the next thing.
Jiang Jingchao was also a little nervous because of her action. "Student, if you have anything to say, just tell us directly. We really want to find the person quickly."
"Although there is no Jiang Jingyang here in the cafeteria, one of my classmates told me to tell you that she saw him in the dormitory in the east area of the living area three days ago." The short-haired girl said, "But I advise you not to go there. It is very likely that you will get yourself killed before you find him. To tell you the truth, a particularly powerful zombie appeared in the east area, and many students in our school died in the east area. Many of us here escaped from there with great difficulty."
Jiang Jingchao: "We know whether to go or not. But I still want to thank you for telling us the news."
After finally getting some news about Jiang Jingyang, they didn't want to delay any longer and headed towards the east area of the residential area. After all, the girl also said there were powerful zombies there, and the longer Jiang Jingyang stayed there, the more dangerous it would be.
The girl with short hair looked at the people going away and muttered softly, "Really? They said that but still went. Who would go and die on their own?"
