Chapter 19 What a Coward (1/2)



Duan Xiaolin was silent for a moment, "It depends on the situation."

"It depends? That's right, provided she can return to the base alive."

It is still some distance away from the base, and it may be a question whether we can arrive there alive.

Her zombie symptoms sometimes get better and sometimes get worse. Even if she goes to the base, she will be caught as a monster. It's better to observe her on the way.

Ling Lang couldn't help but glance at Duan Xiaolin.

Later, Franlun... Forget it. Later, if Pei Xiqing is still so stupid, he will come forward to protect him.

Pei Xiqing put on her clothes and came out of the tent with a red face.

Long Yan followed behind her, put his arm around her shoulders, and said, "How come the zombie bite on your body feels better again? You look no different from a normal person, except for the wound on your arm from the zombie bite that hasn't healed."

"But when I had an attack yesterday, my whole body started turning gray-green again, and I felt like I was on fire. Sister Long Yan, you saw the wound on my back just now, didn't you? Was it scary?"

Long Yan said, "It's just a few scratches. You must have made them yourself. They look pretty serious, but I just checked and I think given your current condition, they'll heal in three days."

"But you still have to control yourself. Next time this happens, don't scratch it. If you're not careful, your whole body will be covered in ulcers. Large-scale damage will be more difficult to recover, and it's not good for your skin either."

Pei Xiqing sighed, a worried look on his face.

How could anyone resist it... She was probably going to be the first person to be tickled to death.

"Relax, you're lucky to be in this state now. You're really lucky. Even if someone with superpowers came, a bite from a zombie would turn them into crazy monsters. But you're still alive and well. Don't worry too much."

"Okay, thank you, Sister Long Yan."

The two walked forward while talking. Several tall strangers with guns were standing not far away. She saw them and paused, feeling a little PTSD, afraid that they would catch her.

Now, to her, strangers' abilities are scarier than zombies.

Long Yan introduced them with a smile: "Those are the other members of our team. You can go over and say hello to them. They are all very nice people."

"I see..."

Before Pei Xiqing could even get over there, those people came over and said, "Sister Long Yan! This is..."

Long Yan said, "Yes, Pei Xiqing is now the national treasure of our team."

Pei Xiqing smiled sheepishly, "Hello."

Fu Feng and Nie Bin's eyes lit up when they saw her. "Wa Qu, what a beautiful lady! Hello, hello!"

"My name is Fu Feng!"

"My name is Nie Bin."

"My name is Pei Xiqing. Last night... I'm sorry for bothering you. I'm sorry for running around and keeping you awake all night."

"It's just a small matter. It's not your fault. Don't worry about it." Fu Feng said, "It was these idiots who didn't know what was going on and drove you away. Last night, one by one, two people begged you to come, but you refused to come."

That being said, zombies are still zombies.

In this world, everyone still hates her like a rat crossing the street. She has prepared herself mentally for being criticized, but their reactions surprised Pei Xiqing.

In fact, Fu Feng and Nie Bin have only been in the last few days. Whether it is the cruel selection or the last day battle, they have experienced too much and seen too much. They don't care whether it is a human or a ghost. They have reached a state where they can accept anything as long as they don't seek death or cause trouble.

"You guys should pack up as well, we'll be ready to leave soon."

Long Yan said, "Come on, we're about to leave. Given your current situation, it's probably best to get to the base sooner rather than later. At least there's medicine there that might be able to suppress it. Otherwise, I'm really worried that you might appear fine, but one day you might scratch yourself to the point of being half-human and half-ghost."

"But if I go to the base, I'll be captured and used as a test subject."

“That’s ordinary people.”

"Um?"

"Brother Duan is still here." Long Yan cast a meaningful glance at her. "As for the experimental subjects, it's just a matter of a word from him. Ling Lang and I will go to him to plead for mercy later. He also knows about your situation, so he might give you a chance. As long as he speaks, no one at the base will be so bold as to touch you."

Pei Xiqing blinked, a little stunned: "...Okay."

"How far is it from the base, Sister Long Yan?"

Long Yan thought for a moment. "It's hard to say. If we calculate the straight-line distance, it's still about a hundred kilometers. But the situation in the apocalypse changes rapidly. Many roads are blocked, and zombies are everywhere. If we encounter them, it will delay us for a long time. It may take another seven or eight days to reach them."

"OK."
