Chapter 52 I promise you will have money and status
There are ruins all around.
Everyone was covered in dust and looked extremely hungry.
The few people who had fought with the vicious dogs were even dirtier and more miserable.
But the two people who suddenly appeared were neatly dressed and moved agilely.
The eyes exposed outside the hat and mask are bright and look very energetic.
Especially the dark and thin young man stretching out his hands and condensing the circle of light, the action was so majestic that it instantly sent the terrifying vicious dog away. What else could he be but a god?
"I'm saved!"
Xiao Zhang suddenly felt his mouth was very salty.
Unconsciously, I was already in tears.
I only noticed when my snot and tears fell into my mouth.
The ecstasy of surviving a disaster can only be understood after experiencing it!
“Saved!”
He put the wounded man down from his back and rushed forward while wiping his tears.
He quickly ran back to where he came from, helping up his comrades and the strange young man with flames.
The battle nearby also ended quickly.
After the big dog fell from the circle of light, its movements became a little slow. Just as it was about to turn over and continue biting people, the thin and dark young man pulled out a dagger from his waist and stabbed it into its wide-open mouth.
Straight through the throat!
The vicious dog whimpered a few times, twitched a few times, and then stopped moving.
The beast that had forced Xiao Zhang and others to a near-death situation was killed so easily.
"Wow, brother, you killed an early-stage mutant beast, not just an ordinary vicious dog. This shows that your physical fitness is as excellent as your superpowers. Ordinary people can't pierce its throat, it has thick skin!"
Next to him, the short and fat man cheered.
Only then did Xiao Zhang realize that it was a girl.
He had a round figure without any curves, wore a hat and a mask, and had no long braids or anything like that. It was really hard to tell whether he was a man or a woman just now.
The sound is quite crisp and sweet.
“It’s… it’s you…”
The young man with the flames who was knocked over by the vicious dog struggled to stand up from the ground, but he spit out a mouthful of blood before he could finish his words.
"Oh, is that you?"
The short and fat man turned around and spoke.
It was Qiao Lan.
She brought Xiao Tang along with her, collecting supplies along the street and looking for mutant beasts.
We walked a long way without encountering any mutant species. There were only a few cats, dogs, birds, insects and ants that survived the storm, but they all looked normal.
But when she got here, she smelled a peculiar stench from a distance.
It is an early stage mutant beast, and most of them are manic negative mutant beasts, which have such a bad smell.
After a fight, she was really happy with Xiao Tang's fighting ability.
Unexpectedly, I met someone I knew.
She saw the flame in the young man's palm from a distance. He was an early-stage fire elementalist.
It's obvious that he hasn't mastered fire control yet, and it's intermittent.
"Your name is..." Qiao Lan thought for a moment, "Da Qi?" He remembered that this was what Old Song said.
He was Ye Gou's subordinate, the other person who was knocked unconscious by the old aunt along with Lao Song in the underground garage. Qiao Lan remembered him.
I heard that he had been in a coma in the hospital, but I didn't expect to see him here.
"You've awakened too, which is good, but you're pretty badly injured."
Qiao Lan found gauze bandages and hemostatic and disinfectant drugs from her backpack and immediately treated Da Qi and the others' injuries.
Da Qi was covered in blood and the firefighters were also seriously injured.
Xiao Tang dragged the dog's body behind the broken wall by himself.
Avoiding everyone's sight, he split open the vicious dog's head and dug out the crystal core from it.
This is a disgusting job.
Xiao Tang tried hard to search for a small sphere in the foul-smelling blood plasma and brain matter. After searching for several minutes, he finally saw something the size of a soybean, gray in color, and very ugly.
But there are subtle energy fluctuations.
This should be it.
Holding back the nausea of vomiting, he took out the things, put them in a sealed bag and hid them in his pocket.
Xiao Tang stood up and walked across the broken wall to Qiao Lan, saying, "Sister Lan, keep it. You..."
Before he finished speaking.
whoosh!
Qiao Lan swung a knife towards him.
Xiao Tang froze.
The dagger flashed with cold light and brushed past his ear, then flew backwards with a whizzing sound.
A few meters behind him, behind another broken wall, a man who was about to stand up and run away was stabbed and fell to the ground.
He didn't die, but the knife stabbed deep into his shoulder and he screamed in pain.
Qiao Lan asked Xiao Tang to continue bandaging. She walked up to the man, smelled him carefully, and frowned in disgust.
"You have the same bad smell as the vicious dog. Are you in cahoots with the dog?"
“I…I’m not…”
"He's still holding the leash!"
The collar on the vicious dog's neck and the rope in the man's hand were clearly a set.
"Let the vicious dog bite anyone it wants, and you hide here to watch the fun."
"No, no, it wants...it wants to eat meat. I can't control it...I can only wait until it's full..."
Qiao Lan put the knife to his neck and said, "You look so cowardly that you can't be the dog owner. Tell me, who's behind this?"
"I……"
boom!
Before the man could finish his words, he suddenly exploded.
Blood and flesh flew everywhere.
Qiao Lan suddenly fell over.
He rolled on the ground several times before stabilizing his body a few meters away.
"That was a close call! Damn it!"
Fortunately, she heard a very subtle "bang" sound just before the explosion. She had a bad feeling and decided to get out of here first.
If she had rolled a little slower, the explosion would have hit her directly, right in front of that person. Wouldn't she have been disfigured?
How insidious, carrying explosives with you.
They were just having a good chat with each other, but something suddenly exploded and they stopped being reasonable.
"Sister Lan!"
Xiao Tang rushed over anxiously.
Qiao Lan waved her hand, "It's okay, I'm alive."
He ran angrily to the man who had been blown into pieces, and found that man was dead.
She looked around and found a fragment of an explosives controller.
Judging from the structure, there seems to be a remote control sensor?
It seems that he didn't explode on his own, but was controlled by someone from a distance...
Qiao Lan immediately looked around.
Was there someone hiding not far away, watching this place, or was there some remote communication device that heard what was happening here? When she pressed the question, the other party immediately killed her.
Under the astonished gaze of Xiao Tang and Da Qi, Qiao Lan stripped the clothes off the dead man's shattered body.
"Sister Lan, you..."
"It's okay, just take a look."
Qiao Lan did not find Saint Yes's snake and sword tattoo on the deceased.
Not from Saint Yes? Or maybe your rank is not high enough, so you are not qualified to get a tattoo?
"Let's get out of here first."
In any case, Qiao Lan didn't want to stay here anymore. The dead dogs and dead people smelled terrible. It wasn't just the stench of an ordinary corpse, but the smell of an early negative mutation, which was very pungent.
After the mutation, Xiao Tang had very good physical strength and he carried Da Qi on his back easily.
Firefighter Xiao Zhang was slightly injured and was supporting his seriously injured comrade.
The other three rescued survivors thanked them profusely and followed them.
"Young man, you're amazing! You can shoot silver light. Is that magic? Girl, you're amazing too! Your knife throwing is so accurate! I'm so grateful to you all today. So, from now on, you will protect me and be my personal bodyguards. After the disaster, I promise to take care of you. You'll have everything you need, including money and status."
A survivor, a man in his thirties, extended an olive branch to Xiao Tang and Qiao Lan.
No one paid any attention to him.
He smiled, "You don't know who I am yet. My last name is Chu. The largest transportation company in City C is owned by my eldest brother, my dear eldest brother. He's got connections everywhere, and he's good at everything!"
No one paid any attention to him.
"Don't disbelieve me, I have connections in my family. For example, take C University. It's a key university, and it's very difficult to get into, right? But my eldest brother just said a few words, and his daughter, who had failed every subject in the college entrance examination, was immediately admitted to C University. He's that impressive!"
"Wow, that's pretty impressive," Qiao Lan scoffed. It was such a strange time, and he still had that pre-apocalyptic sense of superiority. "I'm from C University. What department is your eldest brother's daughter studying in?"
"You?" The man glanced at Qiao Lan's short and fat figure and said in disbelief, "Do you know Chu Yinong from the Foreign Languages College? She's the campus beauty. If you don't know her, don't tell me you're from C University."
Qiao Lan stopped.
Turn around slowly.
Smiled at each other.
She had intended to drive away all the irrelevant people.
Saving Da Qi is all for the sake of Ye Gou and Lao Song.
What does other people have to do with her? She finds it troublesome to follow them.
But this gentleman with a strong sense of superiority suddenly mentioned the school beauty Chu, ah, then don't leave.
We are all friends, let’s catch up.
