Chapter 82: Eighty-two Days of Salted Fish



082:

Xu Qin set up two traps. After confirming that they were correct, he hurried back because he was worried about the seriously injured person he had just rescued.

Then I saw that the seriously injured and unconscious person had woken up.

His eyes fell on Ji Congwu's open chest and Sang Luo's slender white fingers touching his heart.

???

Xu Qin paused.

Finally, his gaze fixed on Ji Congwu's face, who turned his gaze towards him after hearing the footsteps.

The latter's pale lips were stained like fine rouge by the spilled blood.

"Comrade Xu Qin, you are finally back. He started to touch me as soon as he woke up." The girl accused in a light tone and slowly withdrew her fingers.

Xu Qin: “…”

To be frank, he really didn't see it.

Ji Congwu clearly looked like he might collapse again at any moment, so why did he touch her?

"I don't think he's seriously injured. This place is too small to accommodate him. Let him go." She said this in such a matter-of-fact tone that it felt like she was right.

Xu Qin was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Although he had only known Sang Luo for a short time, he seemed to have some understanding of her personality.

This is obviously the behavior of a young lady.

He had seen quite a few before, but never again after the apocalypse.

Normally, Sang Luo's behavior would be displeasing to others, but Xu Qin had a certain understanding of her strength.

If Sang Luo hadn't appeared to help him share some of the monsters and zombies, he wouldn't have been able to bring people back to the stone house so easily.

He guessed that Sang Luo's ability should be quite strong.

That's why he dared to wander outside the city alone, and met a team that temporarily joined him, but unfortunately he entered the realm of death.

"It's too dangerous outside." Xu Qin disagreed with her.

Sang Luo: "He is very lucky, he won't die."

Xu Qin keenly sensed something in this sentence. He looked at the two of them and asked tentatively, "Do you... know each other?"

Sang Luo was about to speak when the silent Ji Congwu spoke before her, his tone gentle: "I am her boyfriend, Ji Congwu."

He even politely extended his right hand towards Xu Qin.

The air was choked.

The faint smile on Sang Luo's face disappeared.

"We had a little disagreement before, and she ran off in a huff. I chased her here," he chuckled softly. "I didn't expect this place to be included in the monster's territory."

At this point, the villain deliberately glanced at Sang Luo and said, "Fortunately, you are okay."

Xu Qin paused: "I see."

He shook Ji Congwu's hand back, and felt a chill from the temperature of his palm, which was even colder than ice.

At the same time, he also looked at Sang Luo.

But Sang Luo was looking at Ji Congwu carefully.

She tilted her head slightly, a few strands of black hair slid down her snow-white cheeks, and her eyes revealed a bit of coldness and undisguised murderous intent - Xu Qin could feel it.

But it is also mixed with some novelty.

It seemed as if he was amused by what Ji Congwu had just said.

Xu Qin: “…”

"You have a very powerful mouth." Sang Luo commented slowly.

Ji Congwu's gorgeous lips curved slightly: "You like it, don't you?"

Xu Qin: “…………”

For some reason, he felt that if he didn't do something, unpredictable consequences might happen next.

"Let's take care of your injury first." He said to Ji Congwu.

Ji Congwu was obviously not the type to show his injuries to others. He said calmly, "It's okay."

Xu Qin thought, that doesn't matter?

The smell of blood emanating from him was so strong that it seemed as if all the blood in his body had been drained.

It's amazing that he can stand and talk after waking up.

At this moment, Sang Luo suddenly said in a deep voice: "Did you hear that?"

Her tone was too serious, and Xu Qin was startled. He immediately focused all his attention on listening to the movement outside.

Then, he heard something cutting through the air, followed by a "bang". In his peripheral vision, he saw Sang Luo's right leg raised high, while Ji Congwu, who was opposite her, crashed into the stone wall behind him like a broken ball.

Xu Qin watched Ji Congwu spit out a mouthful of blood and roll down the stone wall to the ground. His face was transparently pale and it was obvious that he was unconscious.

“…”

The special forces soldier's mind went blank for a moment, and he stared blankly at Sang Luo as he gracefully retracted his long legs raised in the air.

She turned to him and smiled, "Don't worry, there's no sound outside."

Was this a deliberate attempt to draw his and Ji Congwu's attention to the movements outside, so as to launch a sneak attack on Ji Congwu?

Xu Qin came back to his senses and his face changed: "You will kill him!"

Ran over quickly.

"I told you he's lucky and won't die."

While checking Ji Congwu's condition, Xu Qin said, "Isn't he your boyfriend?"

Such a fatal blow.

He's not even a boyfriend, he's more like a sworn enemy.

Sang Luo sat on the edge of the bed, propping up his chin and watching Xu Qin busying around: "He said he was my boyfriend, and you believed him?"

Xu Qin was stunned: "Isn't it?"

"He's not qualified yet."

"Didn't he come in after you?"

"Comrade Xu Qin is so innocent and adorable."

The special forces soldier's dark and handsome face flushed.

He stopped talking and focused on treating Ji Congwu's injuries.

After cutting open Ji Congwu's clothes, his expression suddenly changed, and Sang Luo also exclaimed "Huh".

Ji Congwu had countless wounds of varying sizes on his body, but these wounds were minor matters.

The biggest injury was several bloody holes in the waist and abdomen, through which the internal organs could be seen.

And the worst thing is——

Several dark red granulation-like flesh tissues grew around these blood holes. They squirmed and devoured them frantically, causing the blood holes to grow bigger and bigger.

Looks like some kind of parasite.

Xu Qin had seen parasitism twice before.

One is that some kind of monster directly devours humans without maintaining human size. The monster and human merge into a hodgepodge.

One retains the human form, but the body has been occupied by a monster. When the shell is opened, the monster's body is inside.

This is the first time I have seen this kind of parasitism.

After Sang Luo confirmed that it was not a parasitic monster that could reconstruct flesh and blood, he lost interest.

But Xu Qin did not give up.

Whether it was soldier's justice or something else, he had to do something.

The first method Xu Qin thought of was to pull out these granulations one by one.

He dug out a pair of pointed tweezers and sprayed some alcohol on them.

However, as soon as his hand touched it, a fleshy bud suddenly stretched out and rushed straight towards his hand.

I tried several times but couldn't find a way to download the phone.

Xu Qin frowned tightly.

Seeing that he was not giving up, Sang Luo sighed and said, "Try it with fire."

Xu Qin glanced at Ji Congwu, who was breathing weakly, and thought that this was also a possible method.

So he took out a piece of candle, lit it and tried it, and it actually worked!

The granulation tissue kept shrinking back when it came into contact with the fire, showing obvious fear.

Xu Qin was shocked.

Just as he was thinking about roasting the meat buds over the fire and picking them out, Sang Luo suddenly came over and said, "Why bother with that?"

Xu Qin thought that it was she who suggested using fire to test it, and he thought she had a better method, so he moved aside to let her try.

Then he felt a little regretful.

This person just kicked Ji Congwu hard and sent him flying.

Can you expect her to save him?

She cut off a piece of Ji Congwu's clothes, soaked it in alcohol, set it on fire, and threw it directly on the bloody holes.

If there was anything that was not covered, she would quickly grab a little with tweezers and pull it upwards to make sure everything was covered.

Xu Qin vaguely heard the crackling sound of burning branches, and a burnt smell filled the air.

Sang Luo covered his nose and said to him, "Be ruthless, don't burn it too hard. This kind of parasite won't die that easily."

She squinted at him and said, "If we're not careful, we'll both get caught."

Xu Qin opened his mouth but no words came out.

He thought, she actually did have a point.

When the piece of clothing was burned, the skin on Ji Congwu's waist and abdomen did not look burnt at all, except for being a little blackened by the fire and containing some ash.

The few buds of flesh that had sprouted around the blood hole were gone.

The blood hole is a hole.

Xu Qin turned over Ji Wucong. The bloody hole on his back also had granulations. It was obvious that they had realized the danger and wanted to escape from Ji Wucong's body.

But I don't know why I can't get away.

Xu Qin followed Sang Luo's demonstration to deal with the wound on Ji Congwu's back, bandaged the other wounds, took out his own clothes for Ji Congwu to change, and found a padded blanket to wrap Ji Congwu.

Sang Luo watched boredly from the side.

When he had almost finished cleaning up, he slowly asked, "Aren't you worried that you're saving an unforgivable scum?"

Xu Qin smiled at her and said, "I'm a soldier. Saving people is my duty, no matter who they are."

Sang Luo: "You are such a good comrade."

Xu Qin heard the sarcasm in her tone, but was not angry.

He is certainly not a pushover.

He has also killed people.

Suddenly, he heard a crisp empty sound.

The handsome special forces soldier lowered his gaze to the girl's flat abdomen, then moved it upwards to meet the girl's calm expression.

Xu Qin remained silent as the other party's disdain for him when he was given water and instant noodles in the car came to his mind.

After a while, "...bread, do you want it?" I remembered that I seemed to have found a box of bread.

Sang Luo didn't say yes or no. He saw that her gaze seemed to condescend and fixed on the bread carton for a moment.

Then Xu Qin understood.

He got up and put the box of bread on the bed, then took a bottle of mineral water and carefully unscrewed the cap.

Her stomach rumbling also aroused his hunger. Xu Qin took a bottle of water and took out a packet of instant noodles from the box.

With a pinch of his big hands, the dough inside broke into pieces, he tore open the package and started eating.

While eating, he found that Sang Luo finally moved. He slowly took a piece of bread and swallowed it with water as if he was swallowing a knife.

Xu Qin: “…”

To be honest, bread is much more delicious than instant noodles.

He couldn't bear to eat anything left in the box.

There was very little food to be found in the area, as most of it had been destroyed by monsters and zombies. That was the only box of bread he had managed to find.

Sang Luo only ate a piece of bread and drank half a bottle of water. After her stomach was full, she stopped eating.

She simply washed herself with the remaining water, then lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

After a moment, Xu Qin was a little surprised to hear her even breathing.

She fell asleep too quickly.

...are you so careless?

Do you believe him?

Xu Qin shook his head and finished the last bite of instant noodles. He lit a candle and placed it at the door, then turned off the light bulb, and the light immediately became dim.

He immediately sat at the door holding the gun, leaning against the stone wall and closing his eyes to rest.

I don’t know what the relationship between Sang Luo and Ji Congwu is.

The thought flashed through my mind.

the next day.

When Sang Luo woke up, he found another half bottle of water and a piece of bread.

Xu Qin noticed that there were some dark circles under her eyes, which were particularly noticeable given her fair skin. He was stunned for a moment and asked, "Didn't you sleep well?"

Sang Luo looked at him expressionlessly and said nothing.

She dreamed about all kinds of delicious food all night, all of which were new dishes made by Hu Lingling.

Xu Qin felt his scalp tingling inexplicably when he saw her like that. He changed the subject and said that they should go out for a walk and she could go with him if she wanted.

Sang Luo expressed his agreement with his actions.

Xu Qin planned to leave a note for the unconscious Ji Congwu.

"Why keep him? Wake him up." Sang Luo said impatiently.

Xu Qin: “?”

Seeing him hesitate, Sang Luo walked straight towards Ji Congwu.

That murderous look made Xu Qin's eyelids jump ominously, and he immediately said: "I'll do it, I'll do it."

He didn't know why Sang Luo wanted to wake up Ji Congwu.

But judging from Sang Luo's expression, she probably wouldn't let it go unless she woke him up.

Sang Luo stopped.

Xu Qin carried out the task of waking up Ji Congwu under her gaze.

Not awake.

"He was injured too badly, so..."

Xu Qin stood up and turned around, but before he could finish his words, a cold light flew over.

“!”

It was a dagger that stabbed towards Ji Congwu!

“…” When Xu Qin realized what it was, it was too late to stop it.

The dagger stabbed into Ji Congwu's forearm.

“…………”

The villain's eyelashes trembled and opened slightly.

"Here, he's awake now."

The girl said lightly.

Xu Qin: “…”

The expression is slightly cracked.jpg
