After getting rid of the zombies behind them.
Shen Jing and Gu Yan did not return to the building immediately.
Although it was meant to lure the snake out of its hole, there were actually more important things to do.
The city was a scene of utter devastation. The intense heat had subsided slightly under the cover of night, but the animals were still more restless than the zombies. This was not a good sign; animals are the first to react during earthquakes or other natural disasters.
Bloodstains were everywhere in the city's ruins.
It's impossible to tell if they are survivors.
It's a mutated animal.
But hunting and fighting back are happening everywhere, and death has become the norm.
I hope that those ordinary people who have just transmigrated to this world can recognize reality as soon as possible. Even if they just obediently follow He Qing back to the base, it would be better than running around recklessly in a fit of rage.
Gu Yan carried Shen Jing, avoiding the haphazardly scattered corpses.
His emotionless voice rang out, "The convoy suffered heavy casualties this time."
If it weren't for Shen Jing's intervention several times, even more people would probably have died.
But they will only remember Shen Jing as a fickle opportunist.
The crimes of letting her go, the mutant, and having the zombie king by her side would overshadow all of this!
Shen Jing was about to speak.
Someone waved their clothes for help.
They didn't care that their voices would attract attention, "Are you Shen Jing? Please save us!"
You didn't read it wrong.
That's the base chief's canary.
I heard she has two other superpowers!
"Quickly strike those mutated hounds dead with lightning!"
The voice sounded familiar. Shen Jing turned her head and looked. Wasn't this the person who had been cursing her in the hotel lobby?
Shen Jing has killed people and saved people.
But he didn't want to be yelled at and have to risk his life to save the other person.
Gu Yan slowly extended his finger, preparing to unleash his metal-based superpower.
Shen Jing's face darkened. "No, let them fend for themselves."
The words had barely left his mouth.
There seemed to be other people with superpowers over there; they could hear what she was saying.
The man immediately changed his tune: "Shen Jing, you can have the crystal core you want! But you have to help us clear out the zombies and mutated hounds at the entrance, otherwise the base chief will find out you're with a man..."
It seems that the fact that Gu Yan is the Zombie King is not yet common knowledge.
But it'll be soon, won't it?
The base team members also began to have doubts.
Given Li Chu and Liang Jingyan's abilities, it's certain that they could incite others to deal with them.
"Handsome, did you know that Shen Jing was actually the base chief's woman all along?"
"What handsome guy? He's from the research institute!"
"So he's Shen Jing's kept man. Tsk, he's really filthy."
They thought the sound was very low.
However, Shen Jing's ability to detect supernatural powers was perfectly clear about it.
Shen Jing looked at Gu Yan with amusement and said, "Are you my kept man?"
"Why not?" Gu Yan's emphasis was on the word "support," meaning he was going to rely on Shen Jing.
Those people saw that the two were unyielding and wouldn't listen to reason.
He began earnestly advising Shen Jing: "Everyone needs to return to the base, don't be so ruthless!"
"When we get back to base, do you want everyone to know that you stood by and did nothing to save someone in distress?"
"Old He despises people who refuse to help those in distress!"
"Do you really want to have no one left to rely on?"
Shen Jing shook her head and chuckled.
It turns out these people had such a misunderstanding.
It's true that they have powerful backers, but who is backing whom is really unknown.
Unfortunately, they really had no intention of returning to the base.
Shen Jing looked over coldly, "The more you talk, the more zombies you'll attract. I already warned you. And you think you can order us around just because you give us crystal cores? What do you take us for?"
Those people were stunned when they heard this.
They'll do whatever you ask for crystal cores; that's how all superhumans are.
"Don't you want crystal cores to enhance your abilities?"
Shen Jing smiled and said, "We don't lack crystal cores, but we're a bit short on supplies. Why don't you give me the food you have, and then I'll drive away those zombies?"
“Why?”
"So you're out of food?"
"Don't even think about taking our supplies!"
As a result, one sentence provoked a strong backlash from the group of survivors.
They definitely won't give any supplies to Shen Jing, not even a single one!
"It seems the problem isn't that you can't run away, but that you're reluctant to give up the supplies you found here." Shen Jing had already used her special ability to detect this. "The supplies are good, but you may not have a chance to take them back to the base."
"Hmph, you're just jealous of us!"
Shen Jing glanced at the zombies at the door. "Jealous? Jealous that you attract more attention from zombies?"
As she spoke, Shen Jing flashed to the doorway.
The thunderbolt in his hand exploded, burning the last few zombies to a crisp.
But the horde of zombies only turned around and glanced at it before circling the gate again, unwilling to leave.
"Killing zombies is pretty easy, isn't it?"
Shen Jing speaks slowly and deliberately, which is precisely what makes her so infuriating.
If it's that simple, why not just clear out all those zombies? Those people gritted their teeth in hatred. Anyone with half a brain could see that Shen Jing had just been playing them for a fool!
"Please, we're begging you..."
"Is this how you ask for help?" Shen Jing slowly backed away. "Actually, if you had just pleaded properly from the start, I probably would have saved you without hesitation. It's just a pity..."
Those people were a bit undecided.
If you ask for something, doesn't that mean you have to give up some supplies?
Shen Jing took in the expressions on these people's faces.
Even without using supernatural abilities to detect them, one could tell what they were thinking: they were probably cursing her vehemently, but absolutely unwilling to give up the supplies they had obtained.
