Chapter 529: Cold-blooded Zombie Queen vs. Soft-eared Rabbit Leader 44
Quan Jiu took out a map and a marker: "Circle the area you have searched in the past two days."
Tang Sui expertly circled several areas: "We've searched these areas four or five times, inside and out. It's unlikely to be nearby."
Quan Jiu stared at the map for a long time, and finally chose the vast west area.
Forty kilometers after driving, they came to a dense forest. After searching for a whole day and it was getting dark, Quan Jiu decided to spend a night in the wild.
After they set up the tent, Jing Che lay on the ground with a piece of foxtail grass in his mouth, looking up at the dark sky.
He glanced at the forest out of the corner of his eye, then suddenly stopped and stood up hastily:
"Sister? What is that?"
Quan Jiu followed his line of sight and looked—
In the pitch-black forest, a bright light flickered faintly, like a candle swaying in the wind, its bright yellow flame ready to go out at any moment.
"Is it a firefly?" Wang Jingyang took a closer look curiously.
Quan Jiu: "No, he's a person with special abilities."
She strode over and finally took in the scene before her.
A man and a woman were lying in a shallow pit, hugging each other. The man was dressed in black and lying on the ground with his head raised. The woman was wearing a pink princess dress and lying on his chest. Both of them had deep eyebrows and eyes unique to Westerners. At this moment, their eyes were closed, as if they had fallen into a sweet dream together.
"It's Cathy." Jing Che recognized the skirt she was wearing.
The glow of fireflies they saw was emitted from Cathy. This is a normal phenomenon that occurs when a healing psychic uses his or her powers.
If the holy light is not extinguished, it means that the person using the supernatural power is still alive.
Quan Jiu jumped into the pit and stretched out a hand to test Daniel's breath.
Wang Jingyang asked nervously, "What happened?"
Quan Jiu shook his head.
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became silent and sad.
The faint fluorescent light is still flickering, firmly protecting the people it wants to protect.
When Jing Che lifted Cathy out, revealing the man under her, the usually carefree boy couldn't help but look away.
There was a big hole in Daniel's stomach, but his internal organs were empty. There was no blood in his opened stomach. If Cathy hadn't covered it, they wouldn't have noticed anything abnormal with him.
Quan Jiu took out a men's coat from the space and covered him with it:
"He's been dead for at least three days. Calculating the time, he was killed the night the zombie wave attacked."
Tang Sui looked at Cathy's peaceful and tranquil sleeping face, feeling a little uncomfortable:
"But Danie didn't turn into a corpse. Was it because of Cathy's healing light?"
"Um."
Everyone fell into a long silence again.
Wanting to protect Daniel's body proves that Cathy started using her supernatural powers at least three days ago.
Superpowers are not infinite. If a normal person uses superpowers continuously for four or five hours, their powers will be exhausted. In mild cases, they will fall into a coma, and in severe cases, they may suffer from lifelong illness.
Tang Sui sighed with emotion: "This is simply a miracle."
But the sad thing is that even if Cathy created a miracle, she still couldn't keep the person she wanted.
…
hostel.
Cathy woke up three days later.
The girl had changed into a snow-white princess dress, and the first thing she did when she woke up was to look around for the familiar figure.
But in the end, she lowered her head in disappointment.
"You have consumed too much of your superpowers. You can't use them for the next week." Quan Jiu reminded as he sat beside the bed.
Cathy nodded slightly: "Yeah."
Everyone was waiting for her to ask about Daniel, but she remained quiet and had no intention of talking about him.
Quan Jiu sighed, covered her with the quilt, turned and left the room.
After the door was closed, she did not leave immediately. After a while, the sound of whimpering like a small animal came from the room.
…
"These are Daniel's ashes."
Two days later, Quan Jiu handed her a small black jar.
Cathy was overjoyed and took it carefully, her eyes still a little swollen: "Thank you."
She stared at the urn, her eyes unfocused.
Such a tall person, but his ashes were cremated into such a small jar.
Cathy pulled a key and a note from her coat: "He asked me to give this to you."
Quan Jiu opened the folded note——
No. 117 Huangyang Street, Yangcheng City
"Yangcheng is not far from here, so we can go over and take a look."
…
On the way to Yangcheng, Cathy quietly told them stories about her, Mike and Daniel.
"Daniel said you had already guessed our identities."
Cathy sat in the passenger seat, clutching the necklace bottle around her neck that contained Daniel's ashes.
"My real name is Elizabeth Cathy."
Jing Che and Tang Sui looked at each other and asked in surprise, "The surname of the Y country's royal family?"
Cathy nodded. "Daniel was one of the first guards to stay with me. I first met him when I was eight years old. He was thirteen years old at the time. Because of his thin figure, he was always teased and bullied by his peers. After I saw him a few times, I transferred him to my side."
He stayed with her for ten years.
"After the apocalypse broke out, many of my guards found opportunities to escape. Only Mike and Daniel stayed."
But it didn't take long for Mike to get tired of her.
Cathy's lake green eyes were filled with tears, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled up:
"He is the most perfect guard I have ever met. Loyal, upright, and strong. He even has no complaints about taking me, a burden, with him."
She had been a spoiled princess for eighteen years, only knowing how to arrange flowers and paint, and had no knowledge of common sense.
After the apocalypse, in order to get food for her, Daniel not only had to escape from the zombies, but also had to compete with humans for supplies. When he came back every day, he had new wounds on his body.
"When I saw him injured, I could only cry and could do nothing to help him. Later, I secretly swallowed the crystal core without telling him, and that's when the healing ability was activated."
This was not what she had imagined. She longed for powerful attack abilities so that she could share the task with Daniel.
Quan Jiu glanced at the corners of her eyes, which were red from crying, and whispered, "Kathy, he hopes that you can live well, along with his share."
Cathy's survival from the alien's mouth was definitely thanks to Daniel. This man gave the only chance of survival to the little princess he had spoiled and raised.
…
No. 117 Huangyang Street, Yangcheng City is a shop.
When Quan Jiu opened the rolling door, he saw a pile of supplies and even a lot of heavy weapons.
Cathy saw this scene and suddenly covered her mouth and burst into tears:
"No wonder he kept telling me to hold on a little longer, everything will be fine once we get to Yangcheng..."
With these supplies, their living conditions will be greatly improved.
Quan Jiu handed her the key: "This is something Daniel left behind, and it should be kept by you."
Cathy shook her head and refused: "Daniel asked me to pass everything here to you."
Quan Jiu immediately understood Daniel's plan.
Before this man died, all he thought about was how to make a deal with her and ask her to protect the little princess who had no ability to protect herself.
