Chapter 563: Cold-blooded Zombie Queen vs. Soft-eared Rabbit Leader 78
"But he's gone now."
Long Yan turned his face away, avoiding her gaze, and forced himself not to recall the past.
Quan Jiu looked at the identical face and wanted to ask him, since you always said that Seventeen was gone, why don’t you dare to look at her now?
The wet clothes on his body became dry, the night gave people a sense of security, and they could not see each other's expressions clearly. Quan Jiu's movements also became bolder.
She lifted Long Yan's chin with her fingertips, leaned forward slightly, and kissed him on the lips.
Touch and leave.
Long Yan's body was stiff, with surprise and astonishment in his eyes. When he raised his eyes, he looked into Quan Jiu's deep and hazy eyes.
The woman's voice was so soft that if it weren't for his amazing hearing, he probably wouldn't have heard it:
"Is it really gone?"
The tone was inexplicably lost.
Long Yan's black eyes were bottomless, with a few rays of light dancing in the depths.
He knew that she had a strong character, and her dejected look at the moment was probably mostly an act.
But even though he knew she was acting, his emotions were still out of control and he was affected by her.
The hurtful words that he wanted to say to distance himself from the matter were stuck in his throat, neither going up nor down, but he couldn't say them out.
A hint of triumphant smile flashed in Quan Jiu's eyes. She rested her head on his shoulder and put her arms around the man's lean waist.
Long Yan felt the softness in his arms and reached out to push her away, but when he caught a glimpse of her sad and lost profile, he had no choice but to put his raised hand down.
Indulge her just this time.
Just once.
He thought silently in his heart.
…
After a day and night of driving, the two arrived at the Liaoguang base safely at noon the next day.
When he saw Zhou Chi again, Quan Jiu was shocked. The man in front of him was pale and haggard, and the stubble on his lips showed that he hadn't shaved for many days.
The most important thing is.
There was nothing under his left sleeve.
Although Quan Jiu disliked him, it was not to the point of wanting to kill him. After all, he was only targeting her and never thought of taking his anger out on Jing Che and the others who stayed in the base. He still had some bottom line.
"Chief Zhou, what are you doing?"
Yang Huaigu, who was standing aside, saw Quan Jiu again, and his expression became complicated:
"He was bitten by a zombie, and in order to stop the zombie poison from spreading, he cut off his own arm."
This is actually a very stupid thing to do.
Cutting off the arm will at most extend the time it takes to transform into a zombie by half a day, which is only a temporary solution and will not cure the root cause. In the end, he will still become a zombie without any reason.
Only then did Quan Jiu understand that from the moment she entered the tent, the soldiers around her who were standing guard with guns raised were not targeting her, but Zhou Chi.
Zhou Chi also explained: "Don't worry, we just want to do research, we don't want to kill you. These soldiers stayed here to shoot me the moment I turned into a corpse."
He could not accept that he had become such a disgusting and inhuman thing, and he could not accept that he would attack the innocent people he had once been responsible for protecting, so he personally ordered that if he showed signs of becoming a corpse, they should shoot him to death in order to preserve his last dignity.
"Ms. Jing, I just want to say sorry to you as a human being in my last moments of sanity."
Zhou Chi was also a soldier in the past.
"It's selfish to ask you to make a sacrifice, but I have to do it."
He is very sorry.
But if he were given another chance to choose, he would still make the same choice.
This is a mission and a responsibility.
Quan Jiu stared at his missing arm and suddenly asked, "Is it worth it?"
From some perspectives, Zhou Chi and Long Yan are the same kind of people.
They are cruel to zombies and even crueler to themselves. They can obviously live a better life in the apocalypse with their own strength, but they still choose to stick to their mission and defend the interests of mankind with all their strength.
Even if it means sacrificing yourself.
"No regrets." Zhou Chi shook his head slightly.
He just felt a little regretful that he couldn't witness the moment of human victory.
Faint blue veins appeared on his face, and his pale complexion turned bloodless white.
Everyone present felt a sinking feeling in their hearts, realizing that this was a sign of transformation into a corpse.
Finally arriving at this moment, Zhou Chi's expression became much more relaxed:
"Don't be stressed, just shoot."
Yang Huaigu's eyes flashed with pity and he turned his head away.
The eyes of his men were slightly red. They were all Zhou Chi's former confidants. No one could remain indifferent when they killed their teammates who fought side by side with them with their own hands.
Zhou Chi pointed helplessly at the spot between his eyebrows: "Right here, it will be healed soon."
Someone in the crowd loaded his gun.
Just as he was about to shoot, Quan Jiu suddenly stepped forward and stood in front of Zhou Chi.
"Wait a moment."
Almost at the same moment she took a step forward, Long Yan grabbed her arm and stared vigilantly at Zhou Chi who was about to turn into a corpse behind her.
A smile flashed in Quan Jiu's eyes: "Chief Long, have you forgotten that I am also a zombie?"
Even if Zhou Chi became a zombie, he would not attack her actively.
Long Yan let go of her arm, took a step back, frowned and said nothing.
Quan Jiu took out a tube of reagent from the space and handed it to Zhou Chi: "Drink it."
This was given to her by Song Ci'an.
Zhou Chi's consciousness had begun to become chaotic. He hesitated: "What is this?"
"Just drink when I tell you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense?" Quan Jiu opened the cork.
Zhou Chi no longer hesitated and drank it all in one gulp. Almost the moment he drank it, the corpse spots on his face appeared.
"It's turned into a corpse!"
Yang Huaigu looked nervous and pulled out a gun from his waist.
Quan Jiu: "Wait a little longer."
A minute later, Zhou Chi still maintained this state. His gray eyes were full of spirit and he showed no signs of attacking humans.
Zhou Chi stared blankly at his right hand: "So am I... a corpse or not?"
He still has human consciousness.
Quan Jiu's eyes were filled with thought. It seemed that this medicine was closely related to the time of taking it.
Xiao Ye took the potion only after he had completely become a zombie, so until today, he still has no human consciousness and can only howl.
But Zhou Chi was different. He took the potion before he turned into a corpse. The potion's efficacy was maximized, allowing him to luckily retain his human consciousness.
Soon someone noticed something was wrong with Zhou Chi. Long Yan stared at the potion tube in his hand and looked at Quan Jiu:
"What is this?"
Liang Song's eyes turned eager as he looked at Quan Jiu.
Every day, their comrades turn into zombies. If they can take the medicine in time, right?
Quan Jiu saw what they were thinking and spread his hands:
"Don't even think about it. I met Song Ci'an in the ancient castle. He stuffed the canister into my hand. I only had two canisters in my hand. After Zhou Chi used it, only the last one was left."
She lied.
At no time should you reveal all your cards.
Zhou Chi's excited expression calmed down again.
They can't afford to offend the one in the castle for the time being.
"Thank you, Miss Jing."
He sincerely apologized to Quan Jiu.
Quan Jiu: "No thanks, after you die, who will work in such a big base?"
