Chapter 237: The End of the World (12)
The advanced zombies have been defeated, and the remaining ones are just a mob, and were easily dealt with by the three teams.
Afterward, the exhausted Mo Xiu didn't stop to rest. He seemed anxious to return to the Shanhe base. Or perhaps, he was anxious to find someone to help heal Wood's injuries.
He didn't hesitate and went straight to Bai Su to discuss the division of the spoils. Mo Xiu and his team only took the equipment, while the medicines were all given to Bai Su and Chen Tian's base.
"Are you really not going to take some of the medicine back? Your team has made great efforts this time. Some of these medicines are very effective for external injuries and should be useful."
Bai Su said to Mo Xiu, and then glanced at the man who seemed to be asleep in the car. The man's wound was very serious. When Mo Xiu was bandaging it, he took a casual look and found that it was so deep that he could see the bone.
I really don't know how this person endured it without even frowning or crying out in pain.
Mo Xiu shook his head upon hearing this: "Don't worry, I won't be polite with you. We still have quite a lot of medicine reserves at our base, and we've brought some medicine with us.
We've got the necessary equipment. We do have a healing psychic at our base, but there's only one, and he's very precious, so he can't go on missions with us. I'll take him to that psychic for treatment as soon as we get back.
Now that we have all the equipment, the doctor will definitely be able to develop a drug to defeat the zombie virus."
"Bai Su, the apocalypse will definitely end!"
Mo Xiu's expression was firm. Bai Su nodded when he heard that, patted his friend's shoulder, and looked at him with encouragement.
As for Chen Tian, he actually didn't believe the claim that the so-called professor could create a medicine to defeat the zombie virus.
After being in this world for so long, he could certainly feel that these infected people were not simply bitten by zombies and infected with the zombie virus.
Strictly speaking, their bodies are filled with demonic energy, the condition is very strange, and it seems irreversible.
As for the highly respected doctor, after a quick glance at the world plot, Chen Tian knew that he was not a good guy either, and 003 was afraid that he would fall into trouble.
However, this is a world of trials in itself, and some difficulties need to be overcome by himself in order to refine his soul and grow.
After working together for so long, Chen Tian still believed in 003's ability. Besides...
After taking a look at the man sitting in the passenger seat of the car, Chen Tian nodded secretly.
With this person here, the end of the world will definitely come to an end.
After a simple farewell, the two teams finally separated. Bai Su and Chen Tian drove back to the university town base with the medicines without stopping.
The mission was successfully completed and no one was seriously injured. On the way back, everyone felt a lot more relaxed.
Because they had already cleaned up on the way here, the return trip was much smoother. They didn't want to rest in the unsafe outdoors any longer, so they hurried back to the base.
After receiving the news, the leader of the base personally went to the entrance to wait for them, including Bai's father.
Father Bai was initially a bit worried. In his impression, the Flame Squad wasn't easy to deal with. While they might be safer with him, he was also worried that a long joint mission would exacerbate conflicts between the two teams.
However, he didn't expect that when these people came back, he actually saw the Flame Squad and the Student Union members mixed together this time. The two pairs of people who originally disliked each other were arm in arm, talking and laughing, and seemed to have a very close relationship.
Father Bai was very surprised, but when they heard that the mission was successful and the base had obtained so many medicines at once, everyone was very happy.
While the welcoming party was important, they also knew that the two teams had been traveling so long and must have endured a lot of hardships. The most important thing now was to let them all go back and rest.
Because Bai's father was also there, Bai Su greeted the people around him, exchanged glances with Chen Tian secretly, and then followed Bai's father back to his home.
He went back to his room to take a nap and recuperate, then got up in the evening and had dinner with his parents as usual.
The university town base had its own power generation equipment, but the power it could provide was limited, so it had to be used wisely. Watching TV or turning on the lights at night was no longer possible. On the dining table sat a single, ornate candle, emitting a fragrant aroma.
Bai's mother is a person who pays attention to the quality of life. Before the end of the world, she liked exquisite and beautiful things very much. She collected a lot of beautiful scented candles, and filled a small box with them of all sizes.
He didn't light it, he just liked to play with it. Father Bai also said it was a waste for Mother Bai to buy it and not use it.
Now, after the apocalypse, these candles have been taken out and used as ordinary candles. Although the light is very weak, it is still very romantic if you think on the bright side.
The meal was simple, with a large bowl of hot noodle soup for each person and a small dish of pickles in the middle of the table.
The noodles are ordinary instant noodles cooked with luncheon meat and potatoes. This may not be a big deal before the end of the world, but now with resources scarce, it is undoubtedly a good meal.
The Bai family did not have any rules about not talking while eating or sleeping, so at the dinner table, Bai's father and mother asked about what had happened to Bai Su and the others in the past few days.
Bai Su told them in detail about the help the Flame Squad had given them, the dangers they had encountered on the way, and also talked about his encounter with Mo Xiu and the others.
Upon hearing that Shanhe Base already had hope of developing an antidote to the zombie virus, Bai's father and mother were very happy. After all, who doesn't want this terrible apocalypse to end soon?
Bai Su naturally did not hesitate to praise the Flame Squad, especially Chen Tian.
He also talked about how the other party disregarded his own safety and actually took the zombie attack for him, saving his life.
Hearing this, Father Bai deeply felt that his decision to insist on the Flame Squad being together was the right one. Otherwise, he really didn't know if the Student Union could have made it back safely alone. He was also filled with gratitude towards Chen Tian.
"He actually saved your life! My God, the situation at that time was too thrilling! I didn't expect this kid to be so kind-hearted. He looks so scoundrel-like, I thought he was just a gangster. It seems that this person still needs to be judged in person.
No, no, I have to thank him very much. He is my son’s savior!
Bai Su, tell him to come to our house for dinner. I'm going to cook him a big meal!"
As Bai's mother spoke, she patted her chest and said with a look of fear on her face.
Bai Su nodded. Seeing that his father also seemed to agree, he was silent for a while before putting down his chopsticks and saying seriously, "Dad, Mom, I have something to confess to you."
"What's the matter? Why are you so nervous?" Seeing this, Bai's mother asked Bai Su with a smile.
Bai Su took a deep breath and said to them as if he had mustered up the courage, "Dad, Mom, I've fallen in love with someone."
Before Bai's mother could be happy, he continued, "It's Bu Zhengchen."
"What? Bu Zhengchen? Are you talking about the captain of the Flame Squad, Bu Zhengchen?"
Seeing Bai Su continue to nod, Bai's mother was shocked and hurriedly asked Bai Su, "Why are you so obsessed with him? He hasn't even finished two days of school. I heard that he has always been hanging out outside and has never had a proper job..."
At this point, Bai's mother remembered that the other party had just saved her son, and quickly shut up. After a while, she said awkwardly, "It's not that I think he's bad, it's just that, can you two have anything in common?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Su looked at Bai's mother seriously and said, "Yes, it's him, Mom, I really like him.
In fact, this was not sudden. I had liked him for a long time. I fell in love with him at first sight.
I know that his usual behavior may not be very good, and he is not very good at expressing himself, which may cause you to misunderstand him. But he is actually not as you think, he is a very good person.
Although I didn't receive much education, it was all due to the pressure of life.
I believe you have also heard some rumors about him. He lost his parents and relatives when he was so young and could only depend on his younger brother.
He is still a child, but he has to work hard to make a living and take care of his equally young brother, so he has become like this.
But even so, he hasn't done anything that's harmful to the world. Even if he has some bad habits, he definitely hasn't done anything that's against his principles."
Bai Su's words were sincere and heartfelt, but after hearing this, Bai's father and mother still couldn't agree.
Father Bai interrupted directly and bluntly, "No, I don't agree. He saved you and I'm grateful to him, but this is a different matter. I think this is too unreliable!"
Bai's mother wanted to object, but before she could open her mouth, she saw Bai Su said with a painful look on his face: "I know, I knew you would definitely object.
I originally thought I could suppress this feeling, but I didn't expect that this time we were doing a mission together, and after a few days of getting along, I got to know this person better. He was a thousand times, ten thousand times better than I imagined.
I had thought about never telling anyone, but I was so devastated that I didn't know who to tell.
I'm actually very afraid that Bu Zhengchen will know that I like him.
After all, homosexuality is still a minority, and I was afraid that he would alienate me and even dislike me. Actually, all this was just wishful thinking on my part."
"Dad, Mom, you don't know, he's really good. Although he can be a bit blunt sometimes, it just shows that he's a very genuine person.
He is loyal to his brothers and takes good care of his family.
The apocalypse has been going on for so long, and you should actually be very clear about the situation outside. There are many people with special abilities, and they don't treat ordinary people as human beings at all.
But Bu Zhengchen is different. Under his leadership, his team has never harmed ordinary people. In fact, he has always been helping the people around him and this base in his own way.
This time, he didn't hesitate to go with us to the dangerous pharmaceutical factory in City B to get supplies and medicine. He even nearly lost his life to save me.
He is so good, how could I not like him!"
Having said that, Bai Su lowered his head, looking very sad.
Father Bai, standing by, was shocked. Was the person his son had just described really the domineering Bu Zhengchen he knew?
