What is the next plot development... The protagonists break out of the zombies in City B, but they also get separated from each other.
It seems to barely match.
What happened next? It seemed that the hero and heroine began to bully the scum alone in the apocalypse. They would get different golden fingers due to various adventures, upgrade their special abilities, and finally meet at the base.
However, after the two separated, the male protagonist's side was also full of monsters along the way, just like in the journey to the West. The only difference was that many female supporting characters were unable to walk, just like the female monsters who met Tang Monk, and they all wanted to curry favor with him.
Then think about herself.
It seems to be a bit like that.
Why does it feel like Pei Xiqing has become a stepping stone or stumbling block on the male protagonist's path to growth?
Has the fate of the female supporting role always been like this?
She doesn't want to get involved.
Pei Xiqing packed up her medicine box and hurried out, but just as she was about to leave, Xiao Yue, who was lying on the wooden bed behind her, called out to her.
"...cough cough cough... Pei Xiqing... wait a moment."
Pei Xiqing stopped.
"What's up?"
"Yes." Xiao Yue, his face pale, sat up with some effort. "Has the deal you mentioned been completed?"
"It's done." She thought there was nothing wrong with the injuries on Duan Xiaolin's body. The rest would be left to time. He shouldn't get infected.
"That's good." He asked, "Is that man your new target? You actually tried to save him."
“…”
"...Ahem...you're not to blame for what happened back then. Tingting has been worried about you all this time. I don't know how you got involved with them. As your brother-in-law, I'd like to advise you not to get entangled with them anymore, especially Long Yan and the injured man in the team...they're not good people."
Pei Xiqing: "What a coincidence, I'm not a good person either."
She asked back, "Why else would you climb into your brother-in-law's bed?"
"Ahem...ah..." Xiao Yue was a rather solemn person, the kind who never smiled and couldn't take a joke, nor could he tolerate one. His thinking was often rather old-fashioned. "Don't say that. It's not good for your daughter's reputation. Besides, I'm your brother-in-law. As for what happened before, as long as you admit your mistake, I can pretend nothing happened."
Pei Xiqing didn't want to talk to him, so she pushed the door open and left. But as soon as she walked out, Long Yan was standing outside with a look of shock on his face.
Even his mouth opened wide.
She was stunned for a moment, "Sister Long Yan..."
Long Yan stepped back: "It's okay..."
Her hand was already covering her chest. She took a deep breath and said, "Well, I'm fine. I didn't hear anything just now. You didn't say anything. That's it."
Pei Xiqing was embarrassed, "No, Sister Long Yan, things are not what you think."
"No need to explain, I understand you. I understand women."
Ling Lang came over from somewhere, carrying a powder flask. "You two still have time to chat? What are you talking about? Can I listen?"
Long Yan pushed him away: "You can't."
Pei Xiqing also said: "You can't."
Ling Lang scoffed, "I'm still not happy to hear it."
He looked at Pei Xiqing again: "You... why is your face red again? You blush all the time, are you sure there's something wrong with you?"
"You're the one with the problem."
"Who are you blushing about?"
Pei Xiqing felt guilty, and the more excited he became, "Who cares?"
"Tsk." Ling Lang raised his eyes and looked behind her, "Captain Xiao."
Xiao Yue walked out with a pale face, "Thank you for saving my life, I wonder if Captain Ling Lang has seen my other teammates?"
"No."
"Then I'll look for it."
However, he hadn't taken a few steps before the pain in his body made him lose consciousness again, and he fell to the ground.
Ling Lang didn't even glance at her, "Sister Long Yan, please ask Lu Xudong to come over. You two will be responsible for him. It's up to you to decide whether to bring him back or leave him behind."
"OK."
Long Yan squatted down and sniffed Xiao Yue's breath. "After all, he's the captain of S1. It's not good to just leave him here. He looks like he has a lot of good stuff on him. I don't know where he got it from. Look at the gun he's wearing. It's obviously a high-end product. He also has all kinds of equipment. Tsk, is this really S1's configuration?"
She narrowed her eyes and smiled, "His abilities are quite powerful. We're still not sure if he's a friend or foe. If he really can't help us, we can kill him later."
Pei Xiqing cleared his throat and said, "Let's not kill him yet. We don't know where the equipment he's carrying came from. Maybe we can get something out of him. If that doesn't work, why not just leave him alone?"
If they really attack the male protagonist, they might even end up in fatal trouble.
Either let him leave it to his fate, or don't save him.
"Yes." Long Yan looked at her with a smile: "I won't kill her, but I still have to save her."
She deliberately muttered the last two words.
Pei Xiqing secretly winked at her.
Don’t say it, don’t say it!
Long Yan showed an understanding expression and patted her shoulder. "Don't worry, I will spare his life. However, his condition is quite critical. We don't have any better medical facilities. We need to get to the base quickly."
Ling Lang said, "We're almost there. Just cross this mountain and keep walking for another two hours. We'll be there after we pass the front base line."
"That's great." Long Yan dragged Xiao Yue's legs and dragged her away. "Get ready, we can set off soon."
Pei Xiqing was also a little nervous.
Only the last bit of distance is left to the human base.
She subconsciously glanced behind her.
Duan Xiaolin just walked towards her and lowered his voice: "Let's go."
Pei Xiqing sniffed, hesitated for a moment, and could only follow.
They all set out on the journey together. After walking for most of the day, they crossed a high mountain. Pei Xiqing was quite motivated at first, but later she collapsed from exhaustion. When she opened her eyes and woke up, she was on Ling Lang's back.
Pei Xiqing was stunned. "Isn't Long Yan carrying me?"
Ling Lang said as they walked: "You fell asleep and shouted in your dream, insisting that I carry you on my back."
"How is that possible?"
"Why not?" Ling Lang said, "Everyone heard it."
Pei Xiqing was embarrassed and tried to struggle to get out of bed, but Duan Xiaolin, who was buttoning the last button of his suit cuff, brushed past them in formal attire and said calmly, "Carry her to the North Courtyard first. I'll go to a meeting first and will be back later."
Pei Xiqing suddenly raised his head, and a majestic and magnificent giant building rising from the ground came into view.
The surrounding tightly-fitting high walls are hundreds of meters high, majestic and shocking, and together with hundreds of unmanned patrol fighters, they perfectly enclose the inner city and buildings.
Ling Lang deliberately shook her on his back and jokingly said, "We've arrived at the base. Are you scared?"
