In the blink of an eye, it was the day when Lin Jiawen was going to set off. On that day, more than twenty people with special abilities gathered together. Just looking at them from a distance, their momentum was astonishing.
Although Lin Jiawen was also standing in the group of psychics, he kept a distance from other psychics. Before leaving, he turned around and looked deeply in the direction of area A of the base, Meng Chen, wait for me to come back.
Although Xiao Yi seemed to be talking to other psychics, he was always keeping an eye on Lin Jiawen. He noticed that Lin Jiawen was looking at Area A of the base, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. In order to convince Lin Jiawen to leave the base this time, he decided to accompany them. But it didn't matter, he had already made sufficient preparations for other things.
When he comes back, the person he has been thinking about will be waiting for him in the territory that belongs to him.
After a period of pre-departure inventory, when the time came, more than 20 psychics jumped out like arrows. Although there was snow outside, these psychics did not feel it was difficult to walk. They jumped and ran in the snow, their movements were easy and their speed was very fast. There were even a few powerful psychics who did not even leave deep traces on the snow. Xiao Yi and Lin Jiawen were undoubtedly the best among them.
For some reason, Lin Jiawen did not let Bai Yichen and the relatives of other psychics see him off at the exit of the base. But at the same time he left the base, in the residential area of Zone A of the base, Bai Yichen was also looking at the clock hanging on the wall. At this time, they should have already set off.
"Mr. Ling, don't worry. Lord Lin will be out for two days and will be back soon." A steady voice came from the side. It was Gu Song, who was arranged by Lin Jiawen to protect Bai Yichen.
Bai Yichen turned around and smiled at Gu Song, "Yeah, I know."
Perhaps because of Lin Jiawen's repeated instructions, Gu Song came over before Lin Jiawen left. At this time, there were also people from Gu Song's stronghold guarding outside the villa, so there were no blind spots. Of course, the strongest guard force was Gu Song, the psychic, and the others were just ordinary people who were a little stronger.
Gu Song took the task assigned by Lin Jiawen very seriously, and stayed closely beside Bai Yichen from beginning to end. Bai Yichen, just as he promised before Lin Jiawen left, had no desire to go out and explore the world in these two days. He was alive in this world because of Lin Jiawen, and he was used to being with Lin Jiawen. He had no desire to change anything. So during these two days when something might go wrong, he stayed in the house honestly, reading books and writing, and felt pretty good.
Just like that, the first day after Lin Jiawen left passed. Everything seemed calm and nothing happened. The strict security of Bai Yichen's residence seemed to be just Lin Jiawen's paranoia.
But under all this calm appearance, late at night, several people secretly gathered together and nodded to each other, saying: "Let's spread the news at dawn tomorrow, and make sure that everyone in the base knows the news as soon as they wake up."
The others nodded to show that they knew. Although this plan had been planned long ago, one of them couldn't help but worry, "Will spreading such false news cause panic in the base?"
The person who spoke before glanced at this person and said, "This is the decision of the boss. Don't worry, it's just fake news. It won't cause any harm. It's not good for the people in the base to live too comfortably in this apocalypse. Just treat it as an emergency drill."
After hearing this explanation, the man dispelled his doubts. Yes, it was just a piece of false news and it wouldn't cause any big trouble. Besides, they also had countermeasures for possible situations that might occur after spreading the news.
Just like that, the few of them went over the plan one last time and then dispersed to different areas of the base.
The night gradually passed, and when the sky began to turn white, some early risers in the base began to get up. At that time, a panic-inducing news spread rapidly in the base and quickly spread to all areas of the base, that is - zombie rats were found in the base.
Zombie animals are as frightening as zombies, and in some ways even more difficult to deal with than real zombies because they are smaller and more agile. Zombie rats are the most troublesome. The thought of a highly aggressive creature carrying the zombie virus suddenly appearing from anywhere is enough to make everyone's scalp numb.
What made the people in the base even more nervous was that now was the time when the power of the psychics in their base was at its weakest. Most of the psychics in the base had just been sent away yesterday, and as a result, such a big thing happened in the base at this time. This made many people secretly wonder how unlucky they were.
However, no matter how nervous they were because of this sudden incident, they still had to do what they had to do. For a moment, all the remaining psychics in the base, who were already in a very tense situation, were mobilized. Some psychics who were in important positions to guard the base could not move, but all other psychics in the base, no matter what they were doing, were assigned a new task, which was to search the base for level one dangerous creatures - zombie rats.
The psychics who accepted this task naturally included Gu Song, who was originally guarding Bai Yichen.
Have zombie rats been discovered in the base? This really happened at a timely moment!
It's no wonder Gu Song thought so. It was because the time when this incident happened was too coincidental. At this time, Mr. Lin and his team had walked for a day and should have arrived in City Z, the farthest from the base. If something happened in the base at this time, Mr. Lin, who was far away in City Z, would be unable to reach it.
Gu Song was given all kinds of instructions before Lin Jiawen left, so it was hard for him not to think of this matter as a conspiracy theory. Is it true that zombie rats were found in the base
Because of this doubt in his heart, when Gu Song received the task of searching for zombie rats in the northern area of the slums, he did not move for a while, but fell into deep thought.
At the same time, after receiving the order, all the other psychics in the base who were not guarding important positions went to the areas they were responsible for, and checked every inch of the areas where zombie rats might exist. At this time, it became very obvious that the psychic in charge of the northern area of the slums was late.
The person in charge of the base's rat search looked at the frightened civilians in the North District with an unpredictable expression and said, "Has the psychic in charge of the North District not arrived yet?"
"Yes, not yet."
"Let's go and take a look." With that, the person in charge turned and left with an unhappy look on his face. But if someone was present, they would be able to tell that the voice was from one of the people who had secretly gathered together last night.
…
At the same time, in the northern area of the slum where the person in charge turned and left, a skinny man was running in the alley with a panic on his face. Suddenly, when he turned a corner, the skinny man accidentally bumped into a woman holding a basin of water. With a splash, the cold water splashed all over them, and the basin was thrown to the ground.
The skinny man was unexpectedly splashed with water, and his emotions were already extremely abnormal. He was so excited and angry that he slapped the woman in the face, "You bitch, don't you look at the road when you walk?"
The woman was caught off guard and fell to the ground. The messy hair that had been covering her face fell apart, revealing an extremely beautiful face that was totally out of place in the slums.
The skinny man's eyes flashed with surprise when he saw the woman's face. However, when he saw that the woman's exposed cheeks were covered with blood and scratched by his sharp nails, he seemed to have seen something terrifying. He walked away in a hurry without saying a word, and seemed even more panicked than before.
One minute after the skinny man left, the woman who was lying on the ground moved with difficulty. She slowly got up, covering her still painful face with one hand, silently picked up the basin that had fallen on the ground, turned around and walked deep into the alley, found a door among the densely packed row, pushed it open and walked in.
Behind the door was a pitifully small room, and the things inside were extremely shabby. The only thing that could be considered furniture was a tattered wooden bed with an old quilt on it.
The woman walked in, closed the door to block out the cold wind outside, placed the basin in her hand against the wall, then sat on the bed, picked up a mirror, pushed her hair aside with her hand, turned her face to the side, and carefully checked the pain on the side of her face.
When Qi Yuanyuan saw the bleeding scars on her face in the mirror, her eyes were filled with anger. "You damned lowlife, just wait for me! I'll make sure you die a miserable death after a while!"
That’s right, this woman was Qi Yuanyuan who was thrown into the slums by Xiao Yi.
Qi Yuanyuan's life in the slums was not good. How could it be good? She followed Xiao Yi and enjoyed the best life in the base. After being thrown into the slums, the material life was like heaven and hell. Not to mention that there were many bullies and low-quality people in the slums. Qi Yuanyuan, as a woman thrown here by a big man, was bullied and ridiculed. It was commonplace. However, these people still had some concerns and did not dare to do too much and touch certain bottom lines, which gave Qi Yuanyuan a little respite.
Qi Yuanyuan herself knew that she could not stay in this hellhole forever. Although she was sent here by Xiao Yi, she knew that her beauty was her capital for turning things around. There were more than one psychics in the base who were interested in her. Now, because Xiao Yi had just sent her here, those people were not sure about the situation and did not dare to act rashly. After a while, they knew that Xiao Yi had really given up on her. She believed that those people would definitely not remain indifferent. At that time, she would definitely be able to return to the upper circle of the base again.
And she kept in mind all those inferior people who dared to bully her during this period, waiting to retaliate against them double in the future!
Especially the damn man today, she will definitely throw him out of the base when the time comes! Cursing fiercely in her heart, Qi Yuanyuan carefully wiped the scars on her face in front of the mirror. After all, her beautiful face held all her hopes for a comeback. Fortunately, she has never been prone to scars, and her skin has a good ability to recover. These scars only showed shallow bloodstains, and if she takes good care of them, they should not leave any marks.
However, Qi Yuanyuan was wiping in front of the mirror when she suddenly stopped and looked at the scar on her face in the mirror with some doubt. What is this? !
Qi Yuanyuan looked at the mirror uncertainly, then moved the mirror closer and carefully observed her scars. Why did she feel that her wounds were a little gray
In order to prevent it from being an illusion or dust around the wound, Qi Yuanyuan wiped it again with a wet towel, but the gray color did not decrease at all. Instead, it became even darker. It was a gray color reflected from the skin.
Qi Yuanyuan really wanted to think that she was overthinking and that everything was just her illusion, but unfortunately there were no naive people in the apocalypse, and caution was a necessary quality for everyone who had survived the apocalypse. Not to mention that although Qi Yuanyuan had lived a relatively comfortable life in recent years, she had seen a lot of zombies in the first two years of the apocalypse, including what normal people looked like after being infected by zombies.
The shallow gray wounds on the sides of his cheeks looked exactly like being scratched or bitten by someone infected with the zombie virus.
Could it be... Qi Yuanyuan's face changed, that man just now!
No, it's impossible...
How could there be people infected with the zombie virus in the base!
But no matter how much she denied it in her heart, Qi Yuanyuan's slightly trembling hands still revealed her panic. She stared at the mirror almost neurotically, rubbing her wounds repeatedly with her hands. Then she was horrified to find that the gray color had become even darker, and even the blood oozing from her wounds was not fresh red, but mixed with some disgusting colors.
All these obvious features completely dispelled Qi Yuanyuan's self-deception. She was really infected with the zombie virus. Maybe in an hour, or maybe two or three hours, she would be completely infected by the zombie virus and turn into a disgusting walking corpse, no longer having any human consciousness.
Excessive unwillingness, fear, and disbelief made Qi Yuanyuan's face slightly distorted.
In another hour or two, she would be dead!
But why, why her
She doesn't want to die, she hasn't lived enough!
She still had so many things she wanted to do. She hadn't gotten out of the slums yet, and she hadn't taken revenge on Xiao Yi yet!
Thinking of Xiao Yi, all of Qi Yuanyuan's fear and anger seemed to have found an outlet. Yes, if it weren't for Xiao Yi, how could she have been sent to this slum, and how could she have met the man who had been infected with the zombie virus!
It’s all because of Xiao Yi! Everything is because of Xiao Yi!
There was a gleam of hatred in Qi Yuanyuan's eyes.
Why should she be sent to the slums by Xiao Yi to be bullied, and even infected with the zombie virus and lost her life, while Xiao Yi was fine!
She wants revenge, she wants revenge on Xiao Yi!
But Xiao Yi is not in the base now!
And she would die in an hour or two.
Just when Qi Yuanyuan was in great pain, a figure flashed through her mind, and after thinking of that figure, Qi Yuanyuan's eyes suddenly lit up surprisingly.
Yes, she couldn’t find Xiao Yi, but she could go find the person Xiao Yi cared about the most.
Xiao Yi had made her become like this, so she would drag the person Xiao Yi cared about most to be buried with him.
Her life has been ruined, so the person Xiao Yi wants most in his life will never get her!
Qi Yuanyuan raised her head, and her originally beautiful eyes were now flashing with a look that could almost be described as crazy.
