When Xiao Yang woke up, the sun outside the car window was as dark as blood. He sat up suddenly and looked at Liang Zhiyu who was driving next to him.
He turned his head to look behind the SUV. Li Jin was still in a coma. The car was driving on a deserted highway, far away from the city of death where zombies were everywhere.
There were only three of them in the SUV; Bai Qingqing, Fu Chen and Bai Tiantian were not there.
"Stop!" Xiao Yang said in a hoarse voice.
Liang Zhiyu looked straight ahead, his foot on the accelerator, as if he didn't hear what he said.
The scenery outside the window quickly receded, and the fading sun in the sky seemed to have painted half of the sky bloody. Everything was so desolate.
"I said stop!" Xiao Yang almost yelled.
He was injured in the City of Death and felt weak all over. Excessive use of supernatural powers would cause physical exhaustion. He would need at least a day and a night of rest to recover.
Liang Zhiyu still ignored him and drove away from the City of Death at a faster speed, as if he wanted to quickly escape from that horrible, nightmare-like place.
Xiao Yang's face turned red, and he suddenly leaned over to grab the steering wheel.
The SUV twisted and turned and rushed sideways on the highway. The sound of sudden brakes was heard and the SUV was forced to stop in the middle of the road. There were two hands on the steering wheel.
Liang Zhiyu said coldly: "Let go."
Xiao Yang gritted his teeth and asked with red eyes: "Where are Qingqing and Brother Fu? Are they still in the City of Death? Drive back now."
Liang Zhiyu grabbed Xiao Yang's hand with such force that he seemed to break his wrist. His usually gentle face was ferocious and terrifying. "Dead, they are all dead."
Xiao Yang was struck by lightning, his face instantly turned pale. He grabbed Liang Zhiyu's collar like an enraged leopard and shouted angrily: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Liang Zhiyu shook off his hand, his face as cold as ice, and said: "I don't need to lie to you, she and Fu Chen are... dead."
Xiao Yang felt as if he had been shot in the heart, or as if someone had stabbed him with a sharp knife. His entire internal organs were in extreme pain. The feeling was so painful that he clenched his teeth and the veins on his forehead popped out.
How is it possible? How could Qingqing and Brother Fu die?
Liang Zhiyu never tells lies. Xiao Yang held his head and murmured like a madman, "I don't believe it, I don't believe it..."
Tears kept overflowing from Xiao Yang's eyes. Regret, hatred and self-blame were gnawing at his heart like a monster. He was unwilling to believe the fact that Qingqing and Fu Chen were already dead.
Liang Zhiyu restarted the car and drove away expressionlessly, getting farther and farther away from the City of Death.
…
When Bai Qingqing woke up, she felt that everything around her was pitch black and she couldn't see where she was.
She was pinned down by something heavy and couldn't move. She felt slight pain throughout her body and could only hear dripping water and the faint sound of wind in her ears.
Her last memory before she fainted was a stone beam falling from the sky, and after that she had no memory at all.
Where is Fu Chen? Is he okay?
"Brother? Fu Chen?" She called for a while but heard no response.
The dark and narrow space was suffocating. Bai Qingqing took out a smart light from the space and illuminated the surrounding scene. There were ruins and stones everywhere, and there were no other living things except her.
Bai Qingqing slowed down her breathing. Without the restrictions of the Zombie King, she could enter the space freely.
After returning to the space and smelling the fresh air, she lay limply on the grass. She finally felt truly alive. Little Zicao ran over and leaned against her, sobbing and complaining about her grievances.
Bai Qingqing didn't have the strength to soothe it. She lay there with her eyes closed for a while, went to the lake to take a shower, changed into clean clothes, and then treated her wounds.
She had lived in the apocalypse for more than a year and had learned a lot of skills. If she hadn't known how to give emergency treatment to her own wounds before, she wouldn't have known how to do so.
Bai Qingqing was still worried about Fu Chen, so after treating her injuries, she ran out of the space.
This time she arrived outside the ruins. The air in the City of Death was filled with the smell of gunpowder, mixed with the smell of blood and rotten flesh, which was pungent and unpleasant.
The ruins were still burning with flames and there were many zombie corpses around. She couldn't find Fu Chen by herself, so she let the remaining vegetative people out to search.
The little mutant vegetable was grunting as he moved the stones, communicating with each other in a language she couldn't understand, knowing that she was anxious and moving quickly.
The stones in the ruins were moved away bit by bit, but Fu Chen was still nowhere to be seen. A strange sound came from not far away. It was the giant monster that appeared in the virus research institute.
Bai Qingqing's face changed and she quickly hid in the space again.
The giant monster smelled the scent of humans and ran over. Just as it was about to rush over to bite and devour them, the mutated plants and humans suddenly disappeared before its sight. It let out an angry roar and kept searching around.
The monster was lying on the building like a bug. It climbed up the building, looked around with its huge copper eyes, and made a harsh sound from its mouth.
Bai Qingqing could only stay in the space. She was exhausted both physically and mentally. After lying down for a while, she fainted again.
The giant insect monster outside didn't find any humans, so it angrily destroyed several buildings and chased after the zombies that appeared to devour its own kind. Monsters like it advance by eating, and even the most vicious zombies are its food.
The zombies were attacked by monsters and fled in all directions.
…
Bai Qingqing didn't know how long it had been before she woke up again. She sensed the situation outside. The horrible monster had disappeared and there were no zombies outside, so she could go out.
She was worried about Fu Chen, so she immediately went out of the space, released the plant man and started digging the ruins again.
The sky was gloomy and covered with dark clouds, and it looked like it was going to rain. She frowned, put on protective clothing, and began to work with the vegetative patient.
After several hours, the ruins were dug out, but there was still no sign of Fu Chen. She was so tired that she fell to the ground, her eyes were sore and the corners of her eyes were slightly red.
My brother can't be dead.
If he died, she could find his body.
The strange red rain was getting heavier and heavier. The atmosphere in the City of Death was depressing. There were no living things except her. She could not stay here any longer. If she met the Zombie King, she would be caught by him.
Bai Qingqing returned to the space in a daze, touched her hot forehead, made herself some medicine to drink, and lay down to rest.
…
"Wuwuwu..." The girl squatted in the corner and cried in fear. She hugged her legs and looked at the man sitting against the wall not far away with red eyes.
The Zombie King returned to his human form and leaned against the wall with a pale face. He had many wounds on his body. Fu Chen's attack had seriously injured him, and his arms were severely injured by Liang Zhiyu. Now he had no ability to fight.
After the Zombie King captured Bai Tiantian, he did not return to his lair immediately, but found a place to hide first.
There are still several of his zombie subordinates in the lair. He is very vulnerable to attack in this weak state. Ambitious peers will definitely want to kill him and devour his crystal core to upgrade.
He was injured so badly that he would need to devour the crystal cores of at least two or three zombies of level five or above, and then rest for a while before he could recover.
The sound of the girl crying in his ears was like the buzzing of a blood-sucking mosquito, which was annoying. If she had not been useful, he would have split her head with a palm.
"Shut up!" The Zombie King roared, his blue pupils staring gloomily at the girl by the wall.
Bai Tiantian covered her mouth in fear, looking at the man covered in blood. He was seriously injured, but still had the ability to kill her easily.
When the Zombie King was fighting, Bai Tiantian was left in a place where she couldn't escape. She didn't know what happened to her teammates. Did they really abandon her and leave her to this man-eating monster?
The heartbroken Bai Tiantian felt aggrieved and sad as if she was going to die, and her eyes were swollen from crying.
She didn't know where this monster was taking her. He was a scary zombie and would definitely eat her. She didn't want to be bitten to death. She really wanted someone to save her.
Having not eaten for a day and a night, her stomach was growling with hunger. Fortunately, there was food in the space. She quietly took out the food and nibbled on it in small bites.
The Zombie King, Zhong Xi, who was resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes. He looked at the girl who was stealing food. She had spatial abilities.
In the apocalypse, space power is one of the rarest powers. Humans can use it to store supplies or go on missions to search for weapons and supplies to deal with zombies.
Bai Tiantian was stared at by him and dared not move.
Zhong Xi said in a hoarse voice: "You eat."
He is a zombie and does not need to eat. Humans will starve to death if they do not eat. He still has great use for her and cannot let her die now.
Bai Tiantian ate the food in small bites, looking at him from time to time with her red rabbit eyes.
…
After a rain, the City of Death was as gloomy as hell on earth. The zombie Shen, who had been rushing on the road non-stop for many days, entered this city filled with a similar atmosphere.
Zombie Shen senses the aura of high-level zombies in this city of death. Zombies of the same kind are not his friends, and he searches for high-level zombies in order to quickly advance.
After being washed by rain, the City of Death still had a slight smell of blood. He smelled a familiar scent keenly, and his silver-gray pupils flashed with joy. He immediately jumped up and ran towards that place like a puppy that had found its owner.
Bai Tiantian felt relieved when she learned that Zhong Xi had no intention of killing her. Seeing that he was injured, she took out something to treat his wounds from the space and gave it to him.
Zhong Xi would not stay in the same place for too long. When he was about to leave with Bai Tiantian, he sensed the breath of a high-level zombie.
It was an unfamiliar aura that was not his subordinate, and he immediately became alert.
Zombie Shen did not take the usual route, but broke the glass and entered the building. He saw the back of a girl in a white dress who looked 50% similar to Qingqing.
Half a month seemed like a century to him. He was like an abandoned puppy who spent half his life walking on the way home. He finally returned home and found his owner before he was exhausted.
He would never let her go again. He wanted to hold her tightly and tell her that he had been looking for her for a long time and missed her so much.
"Qing, Qing." He called out.
Zhong Xi and Bai Tiantian turned around and looked at the slender figure standing not far away.
The man was wearing a worn shirt and black pants, with a black cat squatting on his shoulder. His left hand was tied with a dirty bandage and a weird bow.
His black hair slightly covered his soft and handsome eyebrows, and his beautiful silver-gray pupils flashed with surprise.
Zhong Xi and Bai Tiantian heard the word Qingqing clearly, and the zombie was looking for a girl named Qingqing.
When Shen the Zombie saw Bai Tiantian's face, his brows furrowed, and he looked at her carefully to identify her.
-A bit like Qingqing, but she is not Qingqing.
Bai Tiantian was so flustered that she didn't notice the different color of his eyes. When she saw the familiar yet strange face, she excitedly called out, "Mingxuan."
