Chapter 71 Xu Zheng's Death
On the way here, Wen Yuan had already told Song Ping what Xu Zheng had done. Song Ping understood Wen Yuan's feelings and knew her persistence.
After everyone else left, Wen Yuan took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and couldn't stop shaking.
He looked down at the label on the cabin: Xu Zheng, 26 years old, rare plundering ability.
Wen Yuan stepped forward and looked at the people inside.
In the narrow space, the man lying there had already had his head shaved bald, and his head was full of densely packed needles, with obvious signs of surgery on his head.
In addition, there was a fresh knife wound on the chest, which was sutured with fine thread and a trace of blood was faintly visible.
There were dense needle holes on his arm. On the tray beside him were two tubes of blood, and there were congealed bloodstains on the slender silver needle next to it.
Xu Zheng was lying in the cabin, his eyelids drooping, his breath weak, and there was no sign of life at all.
At this moment, death was undoubtedly a godsend for him.
Although revenge was about to be taken, Wen Yuan did not feel happy at all.
After a long time, the frown gradually relaxed.
Reaching out and lightly touching the button on one side, the indicator light on the panel stopped flashing. Gradually, a thin mist filled the cabin and only faint panting could be heard, without any sign of struggle.
20 minutes later, Wen Yuan said goodbye to Song Ping and walked out of the underground laboratory.
Song Ping looked at Wen Yuan's resolute back, but in the end he couldn't say the words to keep her.
"Chihiro!"
Wen Yuan had a big smile on her face and trotted towards Shen Qianxun.
Shen Qianxun stepped forward, “Have you dealt with it?”
"Um."
"By the way, I want to go see my sister, and then we can leave together."
Shen Qianxun patted Wen Yuan lightly, “I’ll go with you.”
"good!"
Unlike the bitterness in her previous smile, Wen Yuan's eyes are now bright and clear.
The two of them brought marshmallows to the cemetery next to the crematorium.
The cemetery is not large, only about 100 square meters. The bones have long been blown away by the wind, and the names are engraved on the tombstones.
In a corner of the tombstone, the name of Wen Yuan's sister Wen Ying is engraved.
Wen Yuan reached out and touched the words on the tombstone. A tear rolled down her cheek. "Xiao Yuan, I've avenged you."
Wiping away the tears, she looked at Shen Qianxun, “This is Shen Qianxun, she is my sister’s good friend, and in the future, she, and Marshmallow, we will go through the apocalypse together.”
Shen Qianxun stepped forward and caressed her gently. Wen Yuan leaned on Shen Qianxun's shoulder, tightly grasped the necklace around her neck, closed her eyes, and everything was settled.
As the sun sets, the Humvee drives out of the base and heads towards an unknown direction.
"Where are we going?"
Shen Qianxun looked at the map in his hand, “It’s not decided yet, let’s take a look at it together tonight, now let’s find a place to settle down, and we’ll have something good to eat tonight.”
"good!"
Night falls.
Lei Yi returned to the base. After learning that Wen Yuan had left, he could only sigh, "This girl, really is..." His smile could not hide the bitterness. He shook his head and immersed himself in the heavy work again.
After enjoying the feast, Shen Qianxun and Wen Yuan sat on the sofa at the RV bar, looking through the offline map.
"I'm planning to go to a botanical garden or a zoo. There are more high-level mutants in these places. Do you have any recommendations?"
Before coming to this parallel world, Shen Qianxun had been living in Rongcheng and had never traveled, so his understanding of H Province was far inferior to that of the local native Wen Yuan.
Wen Yuan looked at the two points on the map and thought for a moment, "There's a place nearby that we can go to, Black Rock. There are rolling hills and rich vegetation here."
Shen Qianxun thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then let's go out tomorrow morning." The plants outside are very wild and grow wildly, so the chance of mutation may be greater.
Before meeting Shen Qianxun, Wen Yuan felt that her level 2 ability was already pretty good. After all, she had absorbed two level 2 crystal cores, and her ability progress bar had made some progress. In addition, there were not so many level 2 zombies for her to fight, so she did not feel any sense of urgency and completed the base tasks step by step every day.
However, after meeting Shen Qianxun, she realized the discrepancy. When they were still struggling to find level two zombies, Shen Qianxun had already been promoted to level three and had many surplus level two crystal cores.
She knew that Shen Qianxun was in a hurry to upgrade in order to take advantage of the gap in strength between him and the zombies, kill more of them, and give them, and also humans, more chances of survival.
Shen Qianxun had analyzed it for her. According to the current situation, the extinction of their human race is only a matter of time, and it will take no more than a hundred years.
Life is more lively when there are more people around. It would be too boring if there were only the two of them and the marshmallows left in this big world.
They must improve their strength as quickly as possible and hunt more zombies. Maybe there will be a day in the future when they can counterattack the zombies.
After listening to Shen Qianxun's analysis, Wen Yuan was not discouraged or compromised at all, and her heart was full of fighting spirit.
At six o'clock the next morning, Wen Yuan was sitting in the co-pilot seat, her eyelids drooping, while Shen Qianxun beside her was full of energy.
Shen Qianxun looked forward, “You’ll get used to it. You can still get up late occasionally.”
Wen Yuan looked up at Shen Qianxun, who was smiling brightly, "So was yesterday considered an early or late riser?"
"I get up late, and sometimes even later. The day before I met you, I slept until noon."
Wen Yuan patted his chest and said, "Then it would be fine if I could sleep in once in a while."
Shen Qianxun added slowly, "But that day I dug crystal cores until four in the morning. We occasionally work overtime."
Wen Yuan looked at Shen Qianxun with a bewildered look on her face. Is she really trying so hard?
Okay, only those who work hard can win.
She also wanted to roll up with her Chihiro.
They encountered many zombies blocking the way on the road, but they were all easily dealt with by Wen Yuan's fireballs. A level three zombie fought against a level one zombie, and they were crushed to death.
Three hours later, the Hummer stopped at the foot of a mountain.
The sun was scorching high in the sky. I took out a thermometer and found that the temperature had reached 40 degrees before 10 o'clock, and it would probably exceed 45 degrees at noon.
The two of them had already put on sunscreen, and as for Marshmallow, he lay directly on the ground after getting off the car. Shen Qianxun guessed that Marshmallow had great endurance due to the mutation of his body and his special healing system.
Shen Qianxun put on a sun hat, drank most of the bottle of frozen mineral water, stood on a rock, and looked around. He saw the surrounding mountains were full of vitality and greenery.
“You’ve come to the right place.”
Wen Yuan expressed his deep agreement while holding the telescope.
It has been more than a month since the end of the world, and it has been hot every day without a drop of rain. In contrast, the surrounding mountains show no signs of drying up, and the grass and trees are growing exceptionally lush and green.
It was also very quiet. The two stood there for a long time and didn't hear a single bird singing.
The mountain in front of them was the tallest one among them. "Let's go up and take a look first."
Shen Qianxun called out to Wen Yuan, and Marshmallow had already run ahead.
Wild grass grew wildly on the road, some even grew to a height of nearly 1 meter, rustling in the hot wind.
One of them held a Tang sword tightly, and the other held a long sword, and they kept chopping the weeds that blocked the way with "Shua, Swish, Swish".
"Meow!"
Marshmallow's alarm sounded from the front, and the two men walked forward quickly with knives in hand.
I saw a crooked willow tree growing on the hillside above my head.
After seeing the person coming, the branches and leaves rustled non-stop. One of the branches sank into the soil, rolled up a bunch of unknown things, and put them directly into its mouth, then let out a satisfied sigh.
