doubt
Since Nanshan Prison is too far away, and for Jiang Wangxi's safety, Xue Zheng decided to contact the military and go to Nanshan Prison with them.
The closest group to them at the time was the military responsible for the rescue operation in Qingzhou District, so they had to stay in Qingzhou District for a while longer.
As the rescue operation in Qingzhou District gradually came to an end, several military teams were evacuating in an orderly manner. Jiang Wangxi stayed until the last wave of evacuation in the name of a doctor.
Xue Zheng was puzzled: "Doctor Jiang, isn't there a new female doctor joining the team recently? We can let her stay and we can go to Nanshan Prison."
He looked a little anxious because he had been delayed in Qingzhou District for a long time.
"I need to collect more zombie virus samples. They might be useful in the future."
Xue Zheng suddenly understood.
The research institute in Jingcheng had already begun trying to develop a serum against the zombie virus. Jiang Wangxi came to Yancheng to collect more virus samples in preparation for the research on the serum.
Although Xue Zheng felt that it would be much safer to let the military collect virus samples, Jiang Wangxi wanted to do it herself, and since it involved serum research, Xue Zheng couldn't say anything.
But the research environment here is really simple.
On the hard wooden board was a zombie with its hands and feet bound. A sharp scalpel blade had been used to cut open its head, which was connected to several strange tubes containing liquids of different colors flowing into containers.
The zombie's face was ashen, scratch marks covering the wooden planks, and even a hint of fear could be read in its pupilless eyes. The experiment was certainly painful, but as long as it yielded a perfect result, it was meaningful.
It was still making weak "ho ho" sounds from its mouth, a hoarse sound after being hoarse from exhaustion.
After Jiang Wangxi cleaned her hands with disinfectant, she looked at Xue Zheng and asked, "Is Sang Huai still being hunted by the Qinglong Gang?"
"I don't know what happened to that group of fugitives, but they targeted Sang Huai." Xue Zheng nodded in confusion.
After learning about this, the military discussed with Sang Huai and proposed to use firearms as a bargaining chip, using Sang Huai as bait, in an attempt to wipe out the remaining forces of the Qinglong Gang.
But the people from the Qinglong Gang were also smart. They would run away after every fight, leaving neither side with anything good. Sang Huai was also injured, and it was a very frustrating time for him.
Jiang Wangxi laughed: "It's getting more and more interesting."
Everything is different now.
Xiaoyue, will you be like this too?
"The person who reported the Qinglong Gang to the military is still missing?"
"No, it's too chaotic outside right now, it's hard to find him. That guy disappeared after he reported it." Xue Zheng remembered something and asked again: "Is the person you are looking for really with that guy?"
"Yeah." Jiang Wangxi responded calmly, "Are we going to evacuate tomorrow?"
Xue Zheng nodded and looked at Jiang Wangxi with some concern.
Jiang Wangxi sighed.
…Forget it, I probably won’t see you for a while.
He was not familiar with Sang Jiyue's past, and Sang Jiyue had not told him in detail. After all, when they met again a long time later, she could no longer speak.
However, Jiang Wangxi knew that she would definitely be in Haiyan District at a certain point in time.
As for now, he has more important things to do.
Jiang Wangxi looked out the window at the golden sunset. In the distance, he could see people fighting zombies, with blood splattering and arms and legs flying everywhere.
His deep blue eyes reflected the sunset and blood, and he sincerely hoped that Sang Jiyue could have fun in her paradise.
…
Sang Jiyue had a sullen face and looked to be in a bad mood.
Sheng Xingzhou, who had returned from outside after gathering information, sat next to her and waved his five fingers in front of her eyes: "What's wrong with you? You look unhappy."
"Why hasn't the military completely retreated yet?"
They had left their small home where they had lived for two months and were heading towards Haiyan District when they unexpectedly encountered the military who were clearing out zombies.
Sang Jiyue didn't move forward and stayed in the car to play with Dafu, while Sheng Xingzhou went to find out the news.
"Probably tomorrow." Sheng Xingzhou answered her question and said, "It should be the last team."
Sang Jiyue: "Then we'll leave after they leave."
Sheng Xingzhou tried to hold back, but finally couldn't help asking, "Sister Yue, you must have a lot of enemies, right?"
"Yes." Sang Jiyue answered directly, "I wish those people would die today."
"Do you have enemies in the military?" Sheng Xingzhou needed to prepare himself mentally.
"That's not the case." Sang Jiyue curled her lips, "I just don't want to have anything to do with anyone at the base."
Sang Jiyue wants to be a free and easy lone ranger, although she will still bring Sheng Xingzhou with her.
"That's good." Sheng Xingzhou breathed a sigh of relief, then said mysteriously, "Guess what I saw when I went over there just now?"
Sang Jiyue glanced at him, not wanting to pay attention: "What?"
Sheng Xingzhou was very excited after receiving the response, and immediately said, "Someone is catching zombies!"
Sang Jiyue was slightly stunned.
"As expected of a military man, he's truly fearless." Sheng Xingzhou exclaimed in amazement, "The zombie tried to bite him, but he was muzzled. Why do you think they capture zombies? They can't be keeping them for fun, right? Could it be..."
Sheng Xingzhou thought of the Frankenstein monster that appeared in many apocalyptic novels: "Doing zombie experiments?"
Sang Jiyue glanced outside. The golden-red sunset shone on her fair little face, which was very beautiful. However, some speculation rose in her heart, and her expression looked even uglier.
Sheng Xingzhou didn't understand and thought Sang Jiyue didn't like this topic.
"Don't be sad, didn't you say Dafu's dog food is almost gone? There's a pet store nearby. Can we go get some supplies for the puppy?"
Sang Jiyue's attention was drawn to him. He opened the car door and jumped out with light steps.
Across a street where a fierce battle was still going on, the two walked into a store selling pet supplies. The store had not suffered much persecution and was relatively clean.
Qingzhou District was the first area in Yancheng to be rescued, so the people here were not hungry enough to eat cat and dog food. The food here was well preserved and was enough for Dafu to eat for a while.
Sang Jiyue took a bag of dog food and looked at the expiration date and ingredient list. If there was no problem, she threw it to Sheng Xingzhou. In addition, she also took a lot of snacks and canned food. Although they were not what she wanted to eat, she was also extremely picky. After picking and choosing, there was actually not much that she put into the space.
Sheng Xingzhou asked, "Are you really not going to pack it all? What will we do after we finish eating?"
It won’t be easy to find it again in the future.
"No need." Sang Jiyue glanced at the badly worn collar around the puppy's neck and ran to find a new one. She picked one out and continued, "Da Fu is twelve years old. He probably won't live for many more years. The dog food you gave him will be enough for him to eat for another two years."
Sheng Xingzhou frowned: "Are you really counting on it to only live for another two years?"
"No." Sang Jiyue was silent for a moment.
She only has two years left.
But there is no need to tell Sheng Xingzhou.
"What is that?" He seemed unhappy with what Sang Jiyue said.
Da Fu wagged his tail and looked at them innocently, not noticing the subtle change in their emotions.
"Sheng Xingzhou." She suddenly called out his name, and meeting his puzzled gaze, she asked softly, "If the dog food is finished, can you make dog food for Dafu?"
"We've already cooked for people, what else is left but to cook for the dogs?"
Sang Jiyue laughed and said, "Then Dafu will be left to your care from now on."
Sheng Xingzhou felt that he had been entrusted with an important task, and his back straightened up. He did not forget to say: "You don't have to wait until the dog food is finished. I can make dog food for it now."
Isn’t it just less oil and salt? It can be cooked in the same pot as the dishes cooked for Sang Jiyue.
"No rush. If Dafu lives long enough, there will be time for you to take care of him." Sang Jiyue said with a curved lip: "Now I want to take care of Dafu."
Sheng Xingzhou: “…”
But Sang Jiyue obviously does nothing but walk the dog, and he is the one who picks up the poop.
Although Sheng Xingzhou also began to like secretly cursing her in his heart, Sang Jiyue did not notice. She picked up the two collars and asked Sheng Xingzhou: "Which one do you think is beautiful?"
Girly pink and cool black.
Sheng Xingzhou said: "Pink."
"Then it's for you." Sang Jiyue threw the collar in front of his neck and he caught it. She had already squatted down to put on a super cool black collar for Dafu.
Sheng Xingzhou: "No, you asked me if it's for the dog?"
"You chose it yourself, don't you like it?" The corners of her lips were curved, with a little pride as if she had done something bad.
"I'm not a dog." Sheng Xingzhou threw the collar into the space, collected the gift from Sang Jiyue, and met her beautiful eyes. He said, "Still laughing? I'll bite you if you laugh again."
Sang Jiyue smiled even more happily. She said, "Do you like pink? Did you play with Barbie or Ultraman when you were a kid?"
Sheng Xingzhou is different from Sang Jiyue. He has never been a stay-at-home kid since he was a child. He would run around outside as soon as he could walk. Sitting down and fiddling with toys is not his style.
He asked back, "What about you?"
"I have a pink Ultraman. My mother made it specially for me." Sang Jiyue stood up and walked out with Dafu. "If you had known me earlier, I could have shown you the pink Ultraman. But I don't have it now. It was all burned."
Sheng Xingzhou was stunned for a moment, his heart sinking: "Don't be sad, who burned it? I'll go teach him a lesson."
"I burned it." Sang Jiyue glanced at Sheng Xingzhou with a puzzled look on her face. "Weren't you there the day I burned my house down? I thought you would remember it clearly."
After all, he had to crawl away that day.
Sheng Xingzhou: “…”
He really shouldn't forget that tragic day.
…
No. 117 Weihe Street, Haiyan District.
Before the apocalypse, this was a large supermarket. Yin Qiao and several of her classmates came here to collect supplies. They were all her trusted partners, so they all knew the secret of the space she possessed.
And they have been trapped here for a month.
After escaping from Yancheng University, they came here. They originally planned to collect supplies and leave, but there were too many people gathered in this supermarket, which triggered a terrifying zombie tide. They were blocked here and couldn't leave at all.
Zombies are constantly breaking through their defenses, and people are dying every day in this huge supermarket.
As of today, there are only five of them left.
It will be their turn soon.
They are now on the sixth floor of the supermarket, the top floor. The other five floors are all filled with zombies, who are constantly hitting the weak defense line formed by the shelves. Some zombies even form a wall of corpses and are climbing up.
The three boys were guarding one side each. When a zombie crawled up, they knocked them down. But in this place full of zombies, they were just making a last-ditch struggle.
Yin Qiao looked tired after taking a shift, but his clear eyes were filled with determination. "We don't have time to wait any longer. Let me carry out the plan I proposed."
The girl next to her didn't look too good either. Her arms dangling at her sides bulged with beautiful muscle lines, a powerful beauty. She replied, "Qiao Qiao, this is the sixth floor. Don't say you can't climb down. What if a zombie crawls out of the window while you're at it?"
The door of the supermarket was squeezed shut by the crowded zombies, like a huge can of sardines. Yin Qiao wanted to open the door from the outside to lure away the zombies.
From the sixth floor to the first floor, they only had one rope made of various fabrics. Yin Qiao was the lightest, so the rope could only bear her weight.
But none of them were willing to let Yin Qiao take the risk.
"Luo An, help me hold the rope." Yin Qiao said no more and ran quickly towards the rope they had already set up.
Yin Qiao did not give Lin Luoan a chance to refuse. Her whole body was already leaning out of the window. Lin Luoan hurriedly rushed over, pulled the rope, and looked down nervously.
The petite figure kept climbing down. The wall was very slippery. There were zombies in the window next to her that smelled Yin Qiao's scent and banged against the window like crazy.
Glass shattered, and a zombie grabbed the fragile rope. Its sharp claws scratched, and the rope broke, sending her frail body plummeting downwards.
Lin Luoan shouted at the top of his lungs: "Qiao Qiao!"
Yin Qiao was falling and felt desperate. She couldn't save her friends and they would die here together.
The expected pain did not come.
Yin Qiao landed on the soft mattress. The girl squatting beside her tilted her head and looked at her with a soft voice: "Qiao Qiao, long time no see."
Yin Qiao looked at her in disbelief: "Ayue, how could you..."
"I came to see you." Sang Jiyue reached out and pulled Yin Qiao up: "The timing is just right."
Yin Qiao looked at her, almost crying with joy: "You are still alive, and I am still alive too. It's great, Ayue, it's great."
"yes."
Sheng Xingzhou, who had just finished cleaning up the zombies that fell out of the window, looked at Sang Jiyue and then glanced at Yin Qiao. It seemed that the relationship between them was not bad?
Yin Qiao said anxiously, "Ayue, Luo An and the others are still upstairs. I need to open the door to lure away the zombies... Oh, no, do you have any extra mattresses?"
Of course, this mattress could not have been moved here by Sang Jiyue. Yin Qiao's gaze finally fell on Sheng Xingzhou. When she saw Sheng Xingzhou, she was stunned for a moment, and seemed even more unbelievable.
"Senior?"
Sang Jiyue: "Senior?"
Sheng Xingzhou: "Ah? Me?"
“…”
Yin Qiao was also very happy to see Sheng Xingzhou, although not as happy as she was to see Sang Jiyue. She said, "Senior Sheng Xingzhou, I'm Yin Qiao. We're in the same club."
Sang Jiyue's gaze wandered between Yin Qiao and Sheng Xingzhou. The smile on her face disappeared and her eyes became deep.
Sheng Xingzhou...senior?
Senior?
Sang Jiyue had an impression of the senior that Yin Qiao mentioned. The only person Yin Qiao called senior was that unlucky guy.
In her previous life, Sang Jiyue heard that when they were trapped here, Yin Qiao went to open the door to lure out the zombies, but she fell from the upstairs and broke her leg. The zombies that fell from the upstairs also pounced on her.
When she was in despair, one of her seniors found her, worked hard to clear out the zombies, and then chose to help Yin Qiao open the door to lure the zombies.
He was a fool who overestimated his own capabilities. Although he rescued Lin Luoan and his group in the end, he was also overwhelmed by zombies and not even a bone was left.
In the end, he gained Yin Qiao's eternal remembrance.
It is also his honor.
But then again, is that person Sheng Xingzhou?
If that was the case, why would he inexplicably run to Yu Shui Bay in Jing'an District to find her?
If Sheng Xingzhou was in the same situation as her, he should have gone to find Yin Qiao.
Sang Jiyue realized that she could no longer ignore everything.
It happened that Yin Qiao still needed a mattress to use as a cushion for Lin Luoan and his group, so Sang Jiyue and Sheng Xingzhou used the excuse of going to a nearby home furnishing store to move mattresses and temporarily left Yin Qiao's sight.
Sheng Xingzhou thought it was a critical moment and he almost ran, but Sang Jiyue walked slowly behind him and called out lightly, "Sheng Xingzhou."
He ran back in a hurry.
"What's wrong, Sister Yue?"
Sang Jiyue stopped, leaned against the wall behind him, and said calmly: "Don't you have questions for me? To be fair, let's ask them together."
Sheng Xingzhou was surprised: "Now?"
Sang Jiyue nodded affirmatively.
The surroundings were so quiet that it seemed as if the only sound was their breathing.
Their eyes met, and they spoke at the same time—
"Are you also a book person?"
"Are you also reborn?"
“…”
