Chapter 17 Worry



This is a huge slaughterhouse...

Zhu Yuanqing was so shocked by the scene before him that he felt dizzy and had to hold on to the door frame with both hands to prevent himself from retreating.

But when he lowered his head, the handkerchief in his hand had already fallen to the ground. When he stretched out his hand, he saw that his palm was covered with sticky blood.

Red... lots of red...

There was red blood, a sea of ​​blood covering the sky, and people struggling to move upwards. Zhu Yuanqing stood there, with piles of corpses at his feet and howling in his ears.

He turned around unconsciously, and suddenly it was pitch black.

A pair of strong hands supported his shoulders, the blood on the palms peeled off and rose little by little, and then a hand covered Zhu Yuanqing's eyes.

"It's okay, it's okay."

Chen Mu hugged him tightly, embedding him in his arms, and comforted him over and over again: "It's okay..."

Zhu Yuanqing closed his eyes, his mind dazed for a moment, then he peeled away his hand that was covering his eyes and said calmly, "I'm fine."

"Are you really okay?" Chen Mu held his shoulders and turned him around, carefully observing his expression.

His face was ruddy, and there was some anger and confusion in his bright dark eyes. His brows were furrowed, but it looked like there was nothing wrong.

Chen Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

Just now, Zhu Yuanqing just stared blankly at his blood-stained hand, motionless, and didn't respond when he was called, which really scared Chen Mu.

"Of course I'm okay." Zhu Yuanqing glanced at him strangely, then turned to look at this room where countless lives were buried, and his voice was as cold as ice.

"Go back first."

After restoring the scene to its original state, the two men closed the basement door and isolated themselves from the disgusting place.

They went through the back door and passed by a bush. Zhu Yuanqing squatted down and said, "Chen Mu, dig it up."

The air blade easily dug a hole in the ground, revealing a pile of unidentified objects mixed with soil underneath.

A mixture of red, black, earthy and bloody smells.

It seems like this is "junk" they don't need.

There was no telling how many of these things were buried beneath the ground they were standing on.

After sealing the cave, Zhu Yuanqing stood up, looked at the brightly lit villa area from afar, and clenched his fists.

Inside the villa, Hang Zixuan was typing on the computer, trying to find Mr. Zhao's communication signal again.

Kong Wenhan sat on the other side, occasionally looking up at the door. Han Liang walked around the hall, occasionally leaning against the window to see what was going on.

After waiting for a long time, Han Liang said, "Captain, how about we go out and take a look?"

Kong Wenhan shook his head: "Between us, only Feibai can guarantee that we will not be discovered by others, and Mr. Hang also needs protection, so we can't leave."

"It's been so long." Han Liang sat down on the sofa. "Is Jiang Feibai really reliable?"

Han Liang didn't understand why the captain and Hang Zixuan trusted Jiang Feibai so much, and even the moody Chen Mu favored Jiang Feibai.

He was clearly just an ordinary person who had just awakened his special powers. He was serving him tea and water a few days ago, but now he has become their central figure.

"Han Liang." Kong Wenhan looked at him. "When did you start looking at people through tinted glasses?"

"Feibai is on the same team as us, and he's also your teammate. Is this your attitude towards your teammates?"

Han Liang turned his head away, feeling even more uncomfortable.

Returning to the villa, Chen Mu climbed in through the first-floor window, turned around to pull Zhu Yuanqing, but saw that he was already standing next to him.

Zhu Yuanqing didn't notice his little movements, closed the window and went to the hall.

"Captain Kong, we've made a discovery."

Zhu Yuanqing's expression was extremely serious. Kong Wenhan stood up and frowned: "What did you find?"

After briefly describing the events in the basement and the area that could not be explored by spiritual power, even Han Liang couldn't help but stand up.

"Do they still have any humanity?" Han Liang glared angrily, "Aren't they afraid of getting sick?"

"You're worse than an animal." Kong Wenhan slammed the table.

People are indeed prone to doing uncontrollable things in extreme situations, but the reason why we are called human beings is because we all have human nature.

Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. Animals in nature all know that they need to keep each other warm during the winter.

These people outside may no longer be called human beings, but rather a group of beasts in human skin.

Who wouldn't have a hard time in the apocalypse? Some people risked their lives to leave the base to search for survivors and fight for the last hope for mankind, but these beasts turned their fangs on their own people.

After everyone finished venting, Zhu Yuanqing asked Hang Zixuan, "How's it going? Is there a signal?"

Hang Zixuan stopped what he was doing and sighed, "No, still no."

He forced himself to cheer up and consoled her, "But I've already sent a fixed signal. As long as the teacher can get online, he'll definitely receive it."

Zhu Yuanqing knew that he might be worried about his teacher. After knowing what this place was, the long-missing Mr. Zhao was undoubtedly in an extremely dangerous situation.

After thinking for a moment, Zhu Yuanqing said, "Since Mr. Zhao has sent a message, it at least proves that he has a certain degree of freedom."

"Besides, he is a researcher with so many important experimental materials in his hands. As long as Yi An is not stupid, he will not touch him."

Zhu Yuanqing then looked at Kong Wenhan: "We didn't see anyone from the team in the basement, nor did we see any items related to them. They might still be alive."

Thanks to the original owner, when Jiang Feibai was courting others, he remembered every psychic clearly, even what clothes they wore every day.

Zhu Yuanqing took a quick look around the basement before leaving, and there were indeed no relevant items inside.

The team disappeared not long ago. If they really became ghosts in the basement, their traces should not disappear so quickly.

"Feibai, thank you." Kong Wenhan forced a smile.

He knew that what Zhu Yuanqing said made sense, and now he could only continue the investigation with the assumption that they were still alive.

If the brothers are really gone...

There was a depressing silence in the hall. Zhu Yuanqing glanced at the night outside the window and said, "It's getting late. Let's all go to bed early."

After finding a room, Zhu Yuanqing removed the bedding and pillows from the bed, leaving only the mattress.

Lying on it, Zhu Yuanqing looked at the ceiling, and the scene in the basement unconsciously appeared in front of his eyes.

A room stained with blood, with various organs hanging and black eye holes.

He really couldn't sleep, so he went to the balcony to get some fresh air.

In his mind, several white spots of light were still around the villa. Zhu Yuanqing sighed lightly, went back to the room to find a palm-sized glass ball, swung his arm, and threw it at the nearest spot of light.

There was a shrill scream in the woods.

Zhu Yuanqing clapped his hands and turned around to prepare for sleep.

"Pfft." A burst of laughter came from next door.

Zhu Yuanqing turned his head and saw Chen Mu on the balcony next to him, holding his chin and looking at this side. He didn't know how long he had been looking at him.

Zhu Yuanqing narrowed his eyes, pointed two fingers at his own eyes, and then pointed at the uninvited guest.

Then he walked in without looking back.

Chen Mu, who had been staying on the balcony because he was worried about him, bent over with laughter.
