43

During the moment Ji Yanqing wasted, there was a knock on the door. Xia Chenshu and the others had returned. Ji Le suddenly fainted and they lost the mood to continue playing.

Ji Yanqing carefully opened Ji Le's hand that tightly grasped his fingers, stood up and opened the door.

"How's it going?" Lan Zi heard that Ji Le fainted, with worry on his face.

Ji Yan shook his head lightly.

A group of people came in quickly.

"I'm going to the church to have a look." Ji Yan glanced at Ji Le, whose brows furrowed uneasily because of his departure.

"Wait, we're going too." Xia Chenshu quickly changed into clean clothes and took the gun.

Lipingsen and others quickly changed into clean clothes and followed with guns.

Ji Yanqing was anxious but still waited patiently. This was not just Ji Le's problem. This was also their first real contact with other survival teams since they had an official team.

Xia Chenshu and the others did not go, but only five or six people were selected.

After everyone was ready, Ji Yanqing took the lead and headed towards the church.

The church was not far from the bank where they were, it only took two or three minutes. When they arrived at the back door of the church, they vaguely heard voices coming from the church.

Ji Yan knocked lightly on the door.

The sounds in the house stopped, and a moment later footsteps sounded, and then the door opened.

The one who opened the door was the seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy from Lu Qing's team, holding a gun in his hand.

When the door opened, Ji Yanqing immediately looked into the room.

A new guest arrived, so Lu Qing asked someone to open the door of the church. Bright sunlight with high temperature shone into the room from the door, illuminating half of the hall.

There was a large group of people standing in the sunshine at the door. By visual inspection, there should be one hundred, fifty or sixty people. Men in their teens to forties accounted for the majority, with slightly fewer women. There were no old people or children in the team.

Standing at the front were about twenty men in uniform black suits. They held guns in their hands, with the muzzles pointing to the left. They wore sunglasses with expressionless faces, which looked a bit like gangsters in movies.

In front of the group of people, in the center of the gate, was a bald man wearing black clothes with a totem tattooed on the back.

He is lean and tall. He has a dragon tattooed on the left side of his bald head.

The dragon should have been tattooed after the apocalypse. The tattoo is a bit frizzy, not like a dragon but like a caterpillar.

About twenty people stood in a very orderly manner on the left and right sides of the bald man at the front. Their appearance and posture made Ji Yanqing hesitate in his steps as he was about to enter.

That group of people didn't look very smart.

Xue Gang also did this, but not so exaggeratedly.

"You guys came just in time." Lu Qing looked at Ji Yanqing with a smile.

Probably because he had seen so many people, Lu Qing didn't seem to be surprised.

Ji Yan glanced at Xia Chenshu next to him who was eager to imitate him, ignored his presence, took a deep breath, reminded himself that there are all kinds of people in the world, and stepped into the church.

"Ji Yanqing." Lu Qing smiled and introduced Ji Yanqing to the bald head.

After walking through the entire church and coming under the sunlight at the door, Ji Yanqing's naturally curly hair was fluffed by the sunlight, and his eyes were transparent.

The bridge of his nose is high, his long and slightly curled eyelashes cast shadows on his face, and his lips are slightly red, making him delicate and gorgeous.

Seeing Ji Yanqing like this, the bald man was stunned for a moment. Instead of showing contempt, he showed a friendly smile and Ji Yanqing nodded to him.

"This is Black Dragon." Lu Qing introduced the bald man.

This doesn't look like a name, but more like a nickname, and it seems that the bald man chose it himself.

After introducing each other, Lu Qing said some polite official words, briefly talked about the situation in each other's teams and the time they got here, and hoped that they could get along well with each other.

"I've already sent people to clean up the place. Why don't you go take a look first?" Lu Qing looked at Xiaokang.

Xiaokang seemed to be specifically responsible for this. She skillfully led a group of people behind her bald head towards the other direction of the church.

The residence Lu Qing arranged for Bald Tou and the others was far away from Ji Yanqing's bank.

After the large army left, only the twenty gunmen and himself were left in the bald team.

Lu Qing led them into the church and walked towards the high-tech fabric sofa placed at the far end of the church, next to the bonfire.

Arriving at the sofa, Lu Qing went to the side and poured three glasses of water, and the three of them sat down on the sofa.

As soon as they sat down, twenty men in suits quickly found their seats.

Four stood on the left and right behind the black dragon sofa, four stayed at the door of the church, and the rest spread out slightly and stood against the wall, watching each other's skillful movements, which must have been rehearsed regularly.

Ji Yanqing remained expressionless, trying not to think about the scene where Baldhead led a group of people to rehearse in a building.

"Who are you?" Lu Qing looked at the group of people behind the bald head. He was not asking the bald head about their rehearsal experience, but about their injuries.

Almost everyone in the group, including the bald ones, had wounds on their bodies, and there were blood stains outside the wound strips. It looked like they had been injured in the past two days.

The bald man's hand holding the water paused, and he glanced at Lu Qing cautiously, "We met a corpse king before we came here."

"Corpse king?" Lu Qing was surprised.

"A black, dog-like corpse king is going crazy in a nearby city."

"Black, like a dog? Very tall?" A huge figure immediately appeared in Ji Yanqing's mind.

"It's quite high, almost three stories high, and there's an awakened zombie following it. The awakened zombie doesn't know what's going on. It keeps following it. Maybe it's to get a share of the pie?" Heilong said.

Black Dragon obviously didn't know about being subordinate.

Ji Yan remained silent, that was probably not the one he knew. The black beast they knew, the Corpse King, had no subordinates around him. It was always alone.

Seeing that Ji Yanqing stopped talking, the bald head continued: "The beast corpse king has attacked two cities, and killed the corpse kings in both cities. We were originally in the second city, and they suddenly appeared... ..."

Bald Tou did not continue talking about what happened next, but Ji Yanqing and Lu Qing had already guessed that they were lucky to be alive after meeting the Corpse King.

The bald man took a sip of water and looked at Lu Qing cautiously, "They may come this way." They

escaped under the nose of the corpse king. If the corpse king chased them, then it was very likely that it would I will come to Lu Qing.

Lu Qing looked over, still smiling, but it was obvious that he was a little happy.

The muscles on the bald face twitched, and the dragon on the left side of his head looked more like a caterpillar.

"By the way, we brought you some gifts." The bald head quickly looked at the people behind him. Behind him was a man who should be his right-hand man. He quickly went out to find other people in the team to get the gifts for Lu Qing.

"We also found out something very interesting." The bald head seemed a little afraid of Lu Qing.

"Something interesting?"

The bald head glanced at Ji Yanqing and the others. He seemed unwilling to talk clearly here, but he was also worried about Lu Qing. He seemed to be afraid that Lu Qing would be unhappy.

"It is said that the God of Death is nearby." Baldhead said.

Lu Qing and Ji Yan looked at each other lightly.

"I heard from someone in the survival team who came from the south that he had a big fight with a zombie king in a nearby city, which was not far from here, and he disappeared after that. "

Lu Qing nodded.

Ji Yan took a sip of the water in front of him.

Seeing that the two of them were not surprised, the bald head was a little surprised, "You already know?"

"Yes." Lu Qing did not say that Ji Yanqing told him, nor did he even take the initiative to bring the topic to Ji Yanqing.

The bald man looked ugly, and he glanced at Lu Qing even more worriedly. If Lu Qing had already known the news they brought, it would mean that the news was invalid.

At this moment, the man who left in the bald team had returned. He asked a few people to carry a small but heavy wooden box to the door.

"Go and take a look?" Baldhead quickly stood up and led the way towards the door. "We don't know if this thing can still be used, so we thought we would bring it over first for you to have a look."

Lu Qing stood up.

When Ji Yan saw this, he also stood up.

Before leaving the house, he couldn't help but take another look at Lu Qing. Lu Qing was becoming more and more difficult for him to understand. Lu Qing seemed gentle, elegant and easy to talk to, but she was quite afraid of him with a bald head.

When they came to the door, the people in the Bald Team quickly opened the wooden box to reveal the contents.

In order to prevent things from being damaged, a lot of foam and down jackets were stuffed around the wooden box. When the lid was opened, only the top of the thing was exposed. It was a machine that looked a bit like a sewing machine. Ji Yanqing didn't recognize it.

"This is it!" Lu Qing recognized the thing at a glance, and his eyes lit up.

"How about giving it a try?" Baldhead suggested.

The things seemed to be very important to Lu Qing. He changed from his previous gentleness and elegance, his eyes were full of excitement, and he quickly directed several people in the bald team to move the things to the yard behind the church.

Lu Qing lives behind the church.

Ji Yanqing had inspected the situation in the rear yard before. It was an ordinary backyard surrounded by three rows of two- and three-story bungalows. However, there should be a separate generator in the house with electricity.

Baldhead didn't follow.

Ji Yan thought about it lightly and didn't follow him.

"Are you also planning to cross the bridge? Then we will be our rivals." The bald man took the initiative to talk.

Ji Yan, who was worried that he couldn't find a topic to talk about, looked over and said, "No, we just happened to be passing by."

"Passing by?" The bald head was surprised.

"Are you ready to cross the bridge?"

"Yes, if you don't want to cross the bridge, who would come to such a ghost place..." The bald head looked back midway through his words to make sure Lu Qing didn't hear him call this place "a ghost place." ", he relaxed slightly.

"There are quite a lot of people in your team."

"Not bad." Speaking of this, a smile appeared on the bald face. He was obviously quite satisfied with the more than 100 people in his team.

Although the team of about a hundred people is not enough compared to the previous one, it is more than enough compared to the lower one. When meeting other survival teams, other survival teams will more or less give him some face.

"Is there a doctor on the team?" Ji Yan asked lightly.

"No." Baldhead answered instinctively.

Baldhead didn't react until he finished speaking. He was surprised, "You want to find a doctor?"

"Yeah." Knowing that there was no doctor in the Baldhead team, Ji Yanqing's heart gradually sank.

The bald man's face instantly became more exciting, "...you don't know?"

Ji Yan looked at it lightly.

"Lu Qing is the doctor."

Ji Yanqing suddenly looked back. He was surprised. He really didn't know, and Lu Qing never mentioned it.

The bald man looked at Ji Yanqing again with a very complicated expression. He had heard Ji Yanqing say that they were passing by before, and thought that Ji Yanqing was unwilling to say too much, but now he believed that Ji Yanqing was really passing by.

The bald head looked back again to make sure that Lu Qing was still in the yard behind. He lowered his voice and said, "Do you know what the bridge next to this town is called by the people in the survival team?" Ji

Yanqing Shake his head.

"Naihe Bridge. This side of the bridge is hell, and the other side of the bridge is the human world. Although I don't know if the other side of the bridge is the human world, but this end of the bridge is hell. I think you should have felt it." Ji Yan

nodded lightly . , where is hell in this apocalyptic world?

"This Naihe Bridge is very famous among all the survival teams, and the most famous one is the town of Qiaotou, and Lu Qing in the town. Do you know what he is called by the other survival teams?" Ji Yanqing thought seriously for

a moment. , "Meng Po."

The bald head who deliberately titillated choked up, "Doctor."

"Why not Meng Po?"

The bald head ignored Ji Yanqing's question and continued: "I also heard about it from others. It is said that he He was already a well-known genius before the virus broke out. He entered a research institute in his teens and participated in the development of many new drugs." "

He was already living in this city more than five months after the virus broke out. After the death incident broke out, Many people are heading north, and people often pass by this town."

The bald man paused, and looked back. After confirming that Lu Qing had not come out yet, he lowered his voice again, "Although there are few of them, it is said that there are several people. Twenty or thirty survival teams have died in this city in the past month, and Lu Qing is a lunatic." Ji Yan

frowned slightly, there are twenty or thirty survival teams, even if each survival team has a small number of people, Then there would have to be a thousand people.

Lu Qing killed nearly a thousand people?

Lu Qing's gentle and elegant face, always with a faint smile, appeared in Ji Yanqing's mind. How could such a person have killed nearly a thousand people?

"He is a complete lunatic, a psychopath." Baldhead said.

"Then you are still coming?"

"You think we want to come?" The corner of the bald man's mouth twitched, "If you want to cross the river, this bridge is the only way around here." "What are

you talking about?" Lu Qing's voice suddenly changed from came from behind the two of them.

002.

Hearing the smiling voice, Ji Yanqing looked back.

Lu Qing didn't know when he came out and how much he heard. He had the same elegant smile on his face as always, which was completely invisible.

The corner of the bald man's mouth twitched, and the smile on his face was a bit unbearable. He asked uneasily and uneasily, "How is it? Can it still be used?" "It can be used

, thank you." Lu Qing seemed to be in a good mood.

When Ji Yanqing looked at him, there was no anger on Lu Qing's face, and he didn't feel any murderous intent at all. He looked like he was in a good mood but just shaking his head. Instead, he looked like a naive child who got a new toy.

"Then..." The bald head looked at Lu Qing uneasily.

"You guys should go back and rest first, and keep your spirits up. If you want to cross the bridge, I'll have someone take you there at any time." The

bald head let out a deep breath, "Thank you."

After receiving the promise, the bald head didn't stay any longer and hurriedly took him. The group of people left the church and went back to rest, avoiding Lu Qing.

Looking at the backs of the bald group of people who could not wait to leave, Ji Yanqing was just thinking about the credibility of what he had just said, when Lu Qing's voice came again.

"What did he say about me?"

Ji Yan looked over, and Lu Qing looked curious.

"Say you are a doctor."

"Didn't I tell you?" Lu Qing recalled.

Ji Yan shook his head lightly.

Lu Qing smiled and said, "Maybe I forgot."

"Do you treat people?" Ji Yan asked lightly.

"Your people are sick?"

"My child is one of the two children in the team. He just fell into a coma." After a pause, Ji Yanqing added, "There are many people in our team who are injured. ."

"I'm free now."

Ji Yanqing didn't move, just stood in the sun and looked at Lu Qing, "What's the price?"

He didn't know whether what the bald man said was true or false, but the value of doctors in the apocalypse Everywhere is obvious.

"No need. You have brought me very useful information. That thing about the God of Death is quite interesting." Speaking of the God of Death, Lu Qing was in a good mood. He was very interested in zombies.

Ji Yanqing remained motionless. He didn't know how much the Death God's information was worth to Lu Qing, but Lu Qing had also told him about the edible cabbage before.

Ji Yanqing didn't think there was a free lunch in the world, let alone in this environment.

"Then what other information do you know about zombies?"

"I once saw an awakened zombie that could talk. Although she was not communicating directly with people through words, she did make a human voice. She was taught to call The name of a human being."

The smile on Lu Qing's face disappeared, replaced by surprise, followed by ecstasy and thoughtfulness. It was obviously the first time he had heard of such a thing.

"Can he speak?" After a moment, Lu Qing spoke, his voice trembling.

"To be precise, she can make the sounds that humans taught her."

Lu Qing fell into thinking again, his face changing repeatedly, sometimes surprised, sometimes thoughtful, and sometimes extremely excited.

For a moment, Ji Yanqing even saw some bone-deep madness on his face.

It took a while for Lu Qing to recover from that state, "This is indeed an interesting piece of information."

Lu Qing looked at Ji Yanqing expectantly, "If you have such information in the future, I will always welcome you here. Come on."

Ji Yan nodded lightly, but did not tell him what he still knew about the corpse king's blood being able to create slaves, and that the corpse king could communicate with the awakened zombies he created.

"Let's go." Lu Qing took the lead and walked towards the bank. He was in a good mood and walked briskly, shaking his head.

The back door of the bank was not closed, and there were only a few people guarding the door.

Seeing Ji Yanqing and the two heading towards the bank, a group of people quickly moved away from the door.

This was not Lu Qing's first time here. After entering, he entered the room with familiarity and found Ji Le lying motionless on the ground.

"Is it him?"

"Yes." Ji Yanqing squatted down next to Ji Le.

Ji Le's body was still hot, even hotter than before, which also made his frown deepen.

Ji Yan touched his eyebrows gently, and Ji Le seemed to recognize his breath, and the uneasiness on his red face softened a bit.

Lu Qing knelt down on the ground and checked Ji Le. When he got into the mood, his face became less smiling and more serious.

Seeing him like this, everyone in the room fell silent.

A few minutes later, Lu Qing looked up and said, "It looks like he was infected with something, but I don't know what it is specifically. You also know the situation outside now. Many things have long been beyond common sense." Ji Yan nodded

lightly . His heart sank as he pictured a bald head with mutated rice roots growing out of his eyes.

"The situation is not very serious, otherwise something would have happened a long time ago. Children have poor immunity. Maybe you are also infected, but you have not become sick. I still have some antibiotics there. I will get them for you later." Ji

Yan Qing Qing remembered something and looked at Ji An who was standing aside, "He also has a fever. He has had it for more than half a month."

Ji An has been staying beside Ji Le. Seeing that Ji Le has not woken up, his eyes are red with worry. Like a little rabbit.

Suddenly being called by name, Ji An grabbed Ji Yanqing's trouser leg with some uneasiness.

Lu Qing approached him, reached out and pinched his mouth, "Open your mouth."

Ji An tightly pulled Ji Yanqing's trouser legs and cooperated obediently.

A moment later, after checking Ji An and asking a few questions, Lu Qing looked at Ji Le again, "Their conditions are very similar, except that Ji An's condition is relatively mild, while Ji Le's illness is more sudden. But since Ji An is still fine after half a month, the problem shouldn't really be big."

Ji Yan looked at Ji An lightly, thinking that although Ji An had a constant high fever during this period, there was indeed nothing abnormal either mentally or physically. , he relaxed slightly.

After examining Ji An and Ji Le, Lu Qing went aside to examine others in Ji Yanqing's team.

There are now nearly fifty people in their team, and almost all of them have major or minor injuries that have not had time to fully heal.

The wounds on Ji Yanqing's hands and Lan Zi's shoulders and face had scabbed over for some time and were about to heal, but the wounds on more people's bodies became inflamed and infected before they could scab over. In many cases, the wounds even became swollen and turned pus.

Lu Qing checked everyone's injuries and went back to get the medicine and toolbox for Ji An and Ji Le. It was already past one in the afternoon when he finished treating the wounds of several people with suppurating wounds.

The hottest part of the day is over.

After finishing his work, Lu Qing looked a little tired.

"Do you want to join us?" Ji Yan asked lightly.

Lu Qing, who had already reached the door with his things and was about to go back to the church, was stunned for a moment. After being surprised, he smiled and said, "Is this an invitation?" "It's

not a bad idea to ask," Ji Yan said lightly.

Their team really needs a doctor. If they miss Lu Qing, they don't know how long it will be before they meet him again.

"Then I'll go back and think about it." Lu Qing said, but it was obvious that he didn't take it seriously.

Ji Yanqing stood at the door. He didn't look back at Ji An and Ji Le until he watched Lu Qing return to the church opposite.

In addition to the anti-inflammatory drugs used by several people to treat serious wounds, Lu Qing gave him two doses of antibiotics, one from Ji Le and one from Ji An.

The medicine is granular and white, with three pills in each serving.

Ji Yanqing first took one and handed it to Ji An.

Knowing that he needed to take medicine, Ji An opened his mouth conscientiously and obediently. After the medicine was thrown into his mouth, he swallowed it immediately.

He was too young to adapt to this way of taking medicine, and he swallowed the medicine several times without swallowing it.

After the sugar coating on the surface of the medicine was wetted and melted by saliva, the bitter taste of the medicine spread in his mouth. His little face instantly wrinkled up in pain, and he resisted spitting out the medicine.

Ji Yanqing quickly got some water and asked him to drink it.

After taking five or six sips in a row, Ji An finally swallowed the pills.

It's easier for Ji An to take medicine when he's awake, while Ji Le and Ji Yan have a mild headache.

Ji Yan gently held him in his arms and asked him to sit up a little to prevent him from choking, then took the medicine and stuffed it into his mouth.

As soon as the medicine entered his mouth, the unconscious Ji Le quickly tasted the bitter taste of the medicine. He frowned and turned his head and tried to spit it out.

"Don't vomit, just take the medicine and you'll be fine." Ji Yanqing quickly blocked his mouth to prevent him from spitting out the medicine.

"Ugh..." Ji Le hummed in a daze. The corners of his eyes were moist when he was unconscious. His face showed resistance and pain. He instinctively sought shelter and looked for the person who would protect him, "Dad." "Be

good." Seeing Ji Le's resisting look and listening to his shouts, Ji Yanqing felt distressed and had to cover his mouth harder.

"Ugh..." The taste in his mouth was so unpleasant that Ji Le opened his eyes in a daze.

With tears in his eyes, he recognized that the person in front of him was Ji Yanqing. He felt even more aggrieved. Why did Ji Yanqing feed him such unpalatable food?

"Swallow it, and the pain will go away after taking the medicine."

Ji Le struggled for a while and finally swallowed the medicine.

Ji Yanqing saw this and quickly fed him some water to dilute the bitter taste in his mouth.

After taking the medicine, Ji Le huddled up in Ji Yanqing's arms aggrievedly. His two small hands tightly grasped the clothes on Ji Yanqing's chest, which was his source of security in the chaos.

Ji Le fell asleep quickly.

Ji Yanqing was reluctant to put him down immediately and let him fall asleep in her arms.

"It'll be okay." A cold voice sounded.

Ji Yan looked over lightly and saw that it was Feng Yimo.

Feng Yimo's voice was cold and indifferent, and there was an inexplicable certainty in his tone, which calmed Ji Yan's uneasy heart.

"I hope."

"It will be fine." Feng Yimo was sure.

Ji An and Ji Le are currently undergoing rapid evolution, and getting hot is a side effect.

From death to life, coupled with the fact that they jump directly to zombie kings without going through the stage of zombies or awakening zombies, their evolution speed must be far faster than that of all zombie kings. It is not surprising that there are side effects.

All this is inevitable for them, and no one can help them.

While Ji Yanqing was taking care of Ji Le, Xia Chenshu and others had already told others what they had heard from Heilong.

I heard that Lu Qing had killed twenty or thirty survival teams and killed thousands of people. The expressions of others who thought this place was quite good before were quite impressive.

Lu Qingguang couldn't tell from his appearance that he would be that kind of person.

"This town is weird. It's not normal for such a big town to have only so many zombies." "

So, there should be awakened zombies or zombie kings in the city, but what about them?" "

Will they be killed ? Did the God of Death kill him?"

"It's possible. Didn't the bald man say that this was the only way to cross the river nearby? The God of Death might have come over the bridge. After crossing the bridge, he found out that there was a corpse king in the city and killed him."

A group of people speculated, and the topic quickly returned to the issues discussed before. What should they do next?

There are two roads in front of them now.

One is to cross the river directly to the other side. There are no zombie kings and awakened zombies on the other side, but supplies are scarce and there are more survival teams, so the dangers come more from humans.

One continues to forage on this side of the river.

There is not much food in their hands. There is water here, which can make them eat the rice and noodles that they could not eat before, but this will only extend the time for two days at most. They will have to find a way to get it if they stay in this town for another two days at most. to new foods.

"Lu Qing and his colleagues don't have a lot of stuff in their warehouse..." someone in the team said.

A group of people in the room had already thought of this, but no one had mentioned it before. Now someone suggested it, and everyone fell silent.

Everyone looked at Ji Yanqing.

Ji Yanqing said before that the things in Lu Qing's warehouse were enough to feed a large team of a hundred people for several days, and although Lu Qing and the others had guns, they only had about twenty people in total.

What if...

Although no one spoke in the room, the atmosphere quickly became weird.

Cannibalism exists in desperate situations, let alone this.

"We will leave the day after tomorrow morning, but we will not cross the river. We will pick up the car in the woods and go downstream along the river." Ji Yan broke the silence in the room with a soft voice, and the increasingly weird atmosphere in the room disappeared instantly.

Many people looked at Ji Yanqing.

Ji Yanqing's face was expressionless, but his eyes were firm and strong. He could not refuse.

Before he came in, he did have the idea of ​​​​taking guns from Lu Qing and others, but that was based on the situation of gangsters taking advantage of gangsters.

The fact now is that Lu Qing and the others did not mean to do anything dirty. They even took the initiative to give them water and a place to rest, and also told them a lot of information.

Lu Qing may be a bad person, but at least he is nice to them.

This is the end of the world, and there are not so many laws and regulations. The fact that Lu Qing is kind to them is enough for them.

003.

A group of people looked at each other, some were dumbfounded, but more people breathed a sigh of relief.

Following Xue Gang's team, they have seen too many bad things about human nature. They know better that if Ji Yanqing can attack Lu Qing and others now, then one day in the future he will also attack members of his team because of insufficient food or water. people take action.

"Are we really across the river?" Xia Chen was still a little unwilling. He was really afraid of the awakening zombies and the zombie king. Every time he encountered them, he would narrowly escape death.

"There may not be zombies and zombie kings awakening on the other side of the river. The zombies will continue to awaken. Even if all the ones before were killed, some may have awakened now." Lan Zi said.

"And do you think there are just a few of us, what advantage will we have over other survival teams?" Lan Zi asked.

Xia Chen sighed silently and gave up completely.

Many people in the room who had still had a glimmer of hope gave up their hope after hearing this.

Having made up their minds, a group of people calmed down and took the time to rest.

At about four o'clock in the afternoon, Ji Yan gently put Ji Le on the ground and asked Ji An, Xia Chenshu and the others to help take care of it, while he found a set of clean clothes and went to the river to wash up.

Seeing Ji Yanqing about to go out, Feng Yimo immediately followed him.

Ji Yan turned around slightly, feeling helpless when facing Feng Yimo's tail.

Thinking about it, he didn't drive the person back, but found another set of clean clothes and took them with him to take Feng Yimo to wash them.

It was around four o'clock in the afternoon. The sun was no longer as fierce as before, and the temperature remained at more than 30 degrees. The river water was warm after being exposed to the sun all day, but the wind by the river was actually cool.

There was no one by the river, and the bald head seemed to be very afraid of Lu Qing, so naturally he would not let his people wander around.

Ji Yan was so happy that he didn't have to deal with their people. After making sure there were no zombies around, he put down his clothes and ax on the shore and started to take off his clothes.

Feng Yimo, who had followed, was looking for the God of Death on alert when he discovered that Ji Yanqing had taken off his shirt, revealing his smooth back.

The injury on Ji Yanqing's back has healed, leaving only faint scars. Ji Yanqing's skin hidden under the clothes is fair. If you don't look carefully, you can't see the scars, but if you look carefully, you will find that there are many wounds on his body. .

"What's wrong?" Ji Yanqing turned around and found that Feng Yimo was looking directly at him, and the areas on his body that had been looked at were hot.

Feng Yimo looked away. He didn't like the wounds on Ji Yanqing's body, which made him "scared".

"Don't be stupid, wash up quickly, we'll go back early after washing." Ji Yan glanced at Feng Yimo, making sure that Feng Yimo wasn't staring at him, and then quickly took off his pants and got into the water.

Entering the water, feeling the warm water flowing over his body, Ji Yan breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but look back. They were obviously both men, but Feng Yimo's gaze made him feel uncomfortable.

Feng Yimo stood motionless on the shore.

Ji Yan took some water and poured it over.

Feng Yimo's chest immediately became wet, and the white wet shirt vaguely revealed the skin under the clothes.

Feng Yimo stuck the knife in his hand on the ground and began to take off his clothes.

He wore very little, only a white shirt and a windbreaker.

After taking off the windbreaker, his slender fingers quickly unbuttoned the shirt, revealing the clear waist and abdomen under the shirt.

With looming abdominal muscles and a waistline without any fat, Feng Yimo's waist and abdomen are tight, powerful and full of explosiveness.

Ji Yanqing's eyes followed the mermaid line on his waist and stopped at his lower abdomen. He paused and plunged into the water, deciding to wash his hair first.

The warm river water was not as hot as the tip of Ji Yanqing's ears, but the feeling of the river water flowing over his face was very comfortable, making him want to stay in the water forever.

When Ji Yan washed his head and wiped the water from his face and opened his eyes, he looked up and saw Feng Yimo's strong chest.

Feng Yimo had to stand next to him even when taking a bath. While washing his body, he looked around, as if he was careful to prevent a big cat from suddenly rushing out and snatching him away.

Ji Yanqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly poured some water on his face to cool down.

It was already after four o'clock when they went to the river. When they came ashore after taking a bath, it was getting dark and the temperature in the air dropped rapidly.

The two of them quickly returned to the bank into the night.

For dinner at night, Ji Yanqing took the others to the church to cook something to eat. Lu Qing and the others had water, and the doors and windows of the church were sealed for safety.

The bald group seemed quite afraid of Lu Qing and did not show up at the church.

After eating, Ji Yanqing found an opportunity to tell Lu Qing about their departure the day after tomorrow.

Lu Qing was quite surprised to hear that they were leaving the day after tomorrow.

Lu Qing had shown a surprised expression before, but this time he was the most surprised.

He was so surprised that Ji Yanqing felt in a trance. Is it strange that they were leaving?

Ji Yanqing didn't ask. After the rest of the team finished eating, he led a group of people back to the bank and went to bed early.

When Ji Yanqing went back, he brought a small bowl of rice porridge and carefully fed Ji Le to drink it.

Ji Le had no appetite, and it was quite painful for him to drink a bowl of porridge.

After drinking the porridge, Ji Le woke up in a daze for a moment.

Ji Le was very happy when he woke up and found himself being carefully held in Ji Yanqing's arms. His whole body was pressed against Ji Yanqing's chest. He liked being held by Ji Yanqing.

"Dad." He pressed it against Ji Yanqing's heart, and Ji Le rubbed against Ji Yanqing softly.

"Are you still feeling uncomfortable?" Ji Yan asked softly.

Ji Le, whose cheeks were red from the heat, was in a daze, staring straight at the glass door of the bank. There seemed to be something bad in that direction, and he didn't like it very much.

Ji Yanqing looked over there and saw only two advertisements on the glass door. There were big upward arrows drawn on the advertisements and a bunch of interest calculations written on them. They were not scary.

Ji Le fell asleep again soon.

Ji Yanqing put Ji Le back into the quilt next to Ji An, twisted the corners of the quilt for them, touched Ji An's forehead and coaxed Ji An to close his eyes, and then lay down on the quilt next to him.

Xia Chen will lead a vigil tonight.

Just before he fell asleep, Ji Yanqing suddenly realized that what Ji Le was looking at might not be the glass door, but the dock behind the glass door.

The pier is at the edge of the town outside the glass door.

As soon as this idea came up, Ji Yanqing immediately rejected it, while Ji Le was just confused.

Ji Yanqing fell asleep quickly.

I don't know if it was Ji Yanqing's illusion, but it seemed that the further north the weather got colder at night. Even though he was wrapped in a quilt, his hands and feet still felt cold.

He didn't know how long he had slept, but he vaguely noticed something moving in the darkness, and he opened his eyes.

Just as he was about to raise his head, a hand quickly reached out from the darkness and covered his mouth, preventing him from getting up.

Ji Yanqing didn't see the person, but just from the other person's slightly lower body temperature than ordinary people, he instantly guessed that the person was Feng Yimo.

Knowing that it was Feng Yimo, Ji Yanqing immediately stopped moving even though he didn't understand what happened.

He had an inexplicable sense of trust in Feng Yimo, which he couldn't feel from anyone else in the team.

There was silence in the darkness, save for the roar of the wind.

Ji Yanqing remained motionless for a long time, until he raised his head slightly.

My neck started to feel sore and painful.

Ji Yan turned his head slightly and looked at Feng Yimo beside him. It was also at this time that he realized that there were several people awake and keeping vigil in the room, and they were also motionless.

They all looked in the direction of the employee lounge, and each of them held their guns tightly.

Ji Yanqing turned his attention to the lounge.

There is a passage between the lounge and the middle of the hall. The passage is not long, but because of the wind and snow outside, it becomes strange and scary in the darkness.

"Click... la..." An almost inaudible sound of something hard object scratching on the wooden board resounded in the wind and snow.

There is something behind the door.

Ji Yanqing was in high spirits.

Is he from Lu Qing?

Knowing that they were leaving the day after tomorrow, Lu Qing was ready to take action?

"Click." The sound of something stepping on the glass came, and the thing seemed to leave from the window.

A group of people who were awake in the room waited with bated breath for a moment. They did not move until everyone's bodies were sore and aching due to tight muscles.

Ji Yanqing quickly left the warm quilt, took the ax lying next to him, glanced at Ji An and Ji Le who were sleeping soundly, and followed Feng Yimo towards the lounge.

When he came to the door, Feng Yimo waited for a moment, and then slowly took out the stick holding the handle on the door to prevent it from being opened from the outside.

Holding the door handle, Feng Yimo pushed the door gently.

As soon as the door was pushed open a crack, a gust of cold wind rushed in through the crack.

Everyone looked behind the crack in the door and saw that the glass of the window had cracked.

Ji Yanqing looked at Xia Chen and the others who were watching the night, and their expressions were ugly.

The others who were sleeping did not hear it because of the wind and snow, but they who were keeping watch heard the sound of breaking glass, but before they could wake up the others after the sound, the man entered the house.

Ji Yan walked in lightly and approached the window against the cold wind.

There was no one in the alley outside the window, but there was a series of footprints on the snow on the ground in the alley outside the window.

Looking at the very clear footprints, Ji Yanqing frowned. Lu Qing's people came over and broke the glass and tried to get in. They found that the door couldn't be opened, so they left again?

This is obviously unreasonable.

If Lu Qing had killed nearly a thousand people as the bald man said before, how could he still use such despicable methods?

It couldn't be that the nearly a thousand people he killed were all fools, yet there was no survival team that locked the door at night and arranged for someone to keep watch.

"Want to take a look?" Xia Chen asked.

"Wake up everyone else." Ji Yan said lightly.

Xia Chen immediately turned around and called for someone.

They were a group of people who were very fast. After two or three minutes, they were standing at the door of the lounge.

Xia Chen has told everyone about the situation.

"Is it Lu Qing and the others?" the younger Su Luo guessed.

"It's hard to say..." Xia Chenshu was thoughtful, and he had already thought of the problem Ji Yanqing was thinking about.

"Go and have a look." Ji Yanqing glanced at the footprints on the snow again and then closed the window. The wind and snow were so strong that the footprints on the ground were almost blown away.

Xia Chenshu and his group quickly separated into two teams. Some followed Ji Yanqing outside to see the situation, while others stayed behind to guard.

004.

Entering the alley, the wind and snow immediately hit your face, making your cheeks hurt.

Leaving the alley and entering a larger road next to it, the footprints on the snow became much shallower, but they were still barely visible.

Ji Yanqing led a group of people quickly towards the corner, and the footprints disappeared in front of the church.

Approaching quietly, Ji Yan poked his head out and looked in front of him.

There were many debris in front of the church door, and many iron wires were pulled in the utility room to prevent zombies from approaching. The wind and snow covered the debris in white, and the iron wires became clearly visible, but there was no one in the open space in front of the church.

The place directly in front of the church is where a group of bald people live, and the footprints are heading that way.

Ji Yanqing hesitated for a moment, then quickly followed the footsteps and approached the mobile phone store where Baldhead and the others lived.

The mobile phone store faces the same direction as the church, but the mobile phone store is closer to the main street ahead.

When he came to the corner, Ji Yan poked his head out and frowned, because there was a strong smell of blood in the wind and snow.

On the main street not far to the left of the mobile phone store entrance, there were several large blood flowers blooming on the snow-white ground. The blood was still hot, and there were still many traces of clothes and bones and flesh on the ground.

The footprints were messy around the blood flowers, and then disappeared further away at the end of the street.

Ji Yan approached lightly and saw that the dead people were probably the bald men on the night watch in his team. There were still a few guns soaked in blood beside the snowdrift.

The group of people who came to check the situation all looked at Ji Yanqing, which was too weird.

They all thought they were Lu Qing's people before, but even if they were Lu Qing's people, people cannibalize people? Are you still eating like this?

Want to wake them up? Xia Chenshu asked silently.

Ji Yan glanced at the mobile phone store next to them and nodded.

Xia Chenshu took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

There was a knock on the door, and soon there was movement behind the glass door.

The first people to come out were a few people with guns in their hands, and then the black dragon.

"You..." Before Black Dragon could finish his question, his eyes were attracted by the blood on the ground, and his face instantly turned livid.

Other people in his team who came out because of the commotion also noticed the blood on the ground. Their faces were ugly and they couldn't help but tremble.

They were still wearing suits, which were not very warm. They were shivering in the wind and snow soon after going out.

Seeing their trembling looks, Ji Yanqing became more and more suspicious that there was something wrong with their minds.

"All four people who were keeping watch at night are gone."

"What do you mean?" the right-hand man next to Heilong asked with a dark face.

"It's not us." Ji Yan said lightly.

"If you say no, then--"

Before he could finish his sentence, Xia Chenshu interrupted rudely, "Do you think we can eat people?"

Not to mention meat, there were only bones left on the ground. A little bit of residue, no matter how good their teeth are, they still can't do it.

"What's going on?" Black Dragon asked.

Ji Yanqing roughly told the situation.

After finishing his words, Ji Yanqing looked at the footprints behind him.

As they were talking, there was only a shallow trace of footprints on the snow. If they didn't pursue them, they would lose the clue.

Ji Yanqing didn't hesitate and immediately headed towards the other end of the street.

He didn't know if all this had anything to do with Lu Qing, but he was sure that the cannibal was not a human being.

"Boss..."

Black Dragon hesitated for a moment, leaving some people to guard the others, and followed with about ten people.

In the darkness, a group of people followed the footsteps as quietly and as quickly as possible. They turned left and right in the alleys and streets. After a few minutes, they saw the canal in the distance.

The wind and snow beside the canal were heavier, but the footprints on the ground were still clearly visible, which made everyone more and more nervous, because the footprints eventually led to the canal.

Ji Yanqing came to the river and stood on the flood control embankment, which was level with the ground, looking at the dark and unfathomable river water at his feet.

"What do you mean, he got into the water?" asked the Black Dragon man.

"Could it be a zombie that swam over from the other side of the bridge and went back into the water after eating?" Lan Zi guessed.

Xia Chenshu disagreed, "Ordinary zombies definitely can't swim. Even if they can swim, they probably can't swim this distance." This is not just a

problem of water quality. There must be undercurrents in the middle of such a large canal and river, even if it is Big ships may not be able to cross it sideways.

"Is it possible that it is an awakened zombie or a zombie king?" someone speculated.

No one spoke in the darkness, and everyone felt a chill running from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads. If a zombie or a zombie king awakened, things would be in trouble.

"It's not the God of Death, is it?" Someone said in the wind and snow.

Others who were already uneasy because of the Corpse King's speculation looked at the man, who was so stunned by the sight of everyone, "I was just talking casually..."

"Go back first." Ji Yanqing glanced at his feet again. There is a bottomless canal on the side, and we take the lead to walk back.

When Ji Yanqing and his group followed the footprints back to the mobile phone store where Heilong and his friends lived, they saw Lu Qing and his group from a distance.

The sentry in Lu Qing's team found them wandering around the city and woke them all up.

Lu Qing and others had also seen the pools of blood on the ground.

"What happened?" Lu Qing saw them and immediately walked towards them.

Ji Yanqing recounted what they had discovered, paying attention to the look on Lu Qing's face as he recounted it.

Lu Qing heard that there was something in the city, maybe an awakened zombie or a zombie king, and his eyes immediately lit up.

When he heard that the thing finally jumped into the river and disappeared, he was immediately disappointed, like a child who had his favorite toy taken away.

"Go back and rest first. We'll talk about it at dawn tomorrow." Ji Yan said lightly.

Night, wind and snow, this environment is too unfavorable for them.

No one spoke, the three teams looked at each other and went back.

The expressions on the faces of Black Dragon's people became quite exciting after seeing Lu Qing and his group. Needless to say, Xia Chenshu and his group guessed what they were thinking. They seemed to believe that this matter was definitely related to Lu Qing.

They dared to be angry but dared not speak, and in the end they said nothing.

When Lu Qing heard that the thing ran away, he was always a little absent-minded.

The faces of the other people in his team beside Lu Qing were also quite ugly. Several of them even had fear in their eyes, which was quite normal for a group of people.

After both teams left, Ji Yanqing took his team back to the bank.

Entering through the lounge window, knocking on the door, entering, closing the door again, and blocking out the wind and snow, a group of people fell into deep thought in the darkness.

All this was too weird, making their limbs that were already unconscious due to the wind and snow become even colder, and also made them sleepless.

"I think eight/nine out of ten of them are awakened zombies or zombie kings swimming from across the canal." Xia Chen said.

"It's not impossible." Lan Zi agreed.

"It's also possible that Lu Qing arranged it deliberately." Xia Chen wrote.

"Deliberate arrangement?"

Everyone looked at it.

"You mean..." Lan Zi was a little in disbelief, "You mean Lu Qing can control zombies?"

"Isn't it possible? Who can control that thing? If someone can really do it, wouldn't he be unworthy of heaven? !"

"I don't think it's possible either."

"Don't be kidding..."

"If Lu Qing has really killed so many people, then he must have some unknown means. Maybe he just put that thing away. He came out and just happened to eat a few of the Black Dragon's guards." Xia Chen wrote.

"Then how do you explain that thing finally jumped into the river?" Lipingsen asked.

Xia Chenshu tried to explain, but after several twists and turns in his mind, he never thought of an explanation that could round out his words.

"You think...could it be a ghost?" The person who spoke was obviously very scared of such mysterious things, and his voice was trembling.

Everyone looked over and saw his frightened look. They just felt funny for a moment. How could there be a ghost in this world?

It's just that everyone thinks it's funny, but no one can really laugh.

They didn't know what that thing was, but it definitely wasn't an ordinary zombie.

However, anything other than ordinary zombies, no matter what it is, is a disaster for them.

In the darkness, no one spoke anymore, everyone was quiet.

The atmosphere was peaceful and uneasy.

"Get some more sleep and check the situation tomorrow. If it doesn't work, we'll leave early tomorrow." Ji Yan said lightly.

Everyone found a place to sit down, but no one dared to sleep.

Who knows if that thing will come back?

"I'll keep watch." A cold voice spread in the darkness.

Everyone was stunned for a moment and then looked at Feng Yimo.

Feng Yimo was too lonely and withdrawn, and he almost never took the initiative to talk to them, so that sometimes they would temporarily forget Feng Yimo's existence.

This was the first time that they took the initiative to listen to what Feng Yimo had to say, and they still said they wanted to keep vigil.

Looking over and meeting Feng Yimo's cold black eyes, everyone's originally high-pitched hearts couldn't help but drop.

Although Feng Yimo is difficult to get along with, his strength is obvious to everyone.

Feng Yimo had rescued them once before, although the memory of that time was not good. Even when he thought of them, he couldn't help but want to put Yimo in a sack.

"Go to sleep." Ji Yanqing lay down. Ji An, who was next to Ji Yanqing, quickly approached and got back into the quilt between himself and Ji Le.

Seeing Ji Yanqing lying down, the others no longer hesitated and returned to their beds.

After a while, everyone in the room except Feng Yimo lay down.

Ji Yanqing did not close his eyes and sleep immediately. He looked at Feng Yimo, who was sitting in the corner next to him against the wall.

Feng Yimo stayed overnight and Ji Yanqing felt relieved, but Ji Yanqing was not worried either.

"If there is any movement, wake me up." Ji Yan said lightly.

"Yeah."

Ji Yanqing was silent for a moment, and then added, "Don't go out alone."

Feng Yimo didn't let go. If he chased him out alone, he would never come back. Ji Yanqing didn't want to be in the city tomorrow. Find someone.

Feng Yimo's dark eyes were slightly confused, but he still nodded.

Seeing that Feng was not like this, Ji Yanqing suddenly became more and more worried.

Feng Yimo has very strong strength, and may be able to fight against awakened zombies, which also makes him never take danger in his eyes.

If he hears any noise at night, he will definitely rush out.

"That thing is very dangerous..." Ji Yanqing had the urge to tie Feng Yimo and himself together with a rope. After thinking about it, he changed his words, "I will be worried if you go alone." Listening to Ji Yanqing

Deliberately lowering his voice, listening to Ji Yanqing's pleasant words, a strange light flashed in Feng Yimo's dark eyes.

At that moment, he seemed to smile.

"Okay." Feng Yimo's voice was cold and low, "I listen to you."

Listening to the conversation between the two, Xia Chenshu, who was about to say that he would also watch the night together, lay down silently. Should he be under the car? ?
