Volume 3 Chapter 92 Pitiful people must have something hateful

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

They climbed for a long time before they got to the top of the canyon. Shao Qing talked a lot with Shao Bai all the way, talking about Jiangcheng, talking about her relatives and lovers. In short, they talked about happy things.

After leaving the gorge, Shao Qing found a creek, took a bath, and changed her clothes. She wanted to take Shao Bai back into her space as that would make travel a lot faster, but when she saw Shao Bai looking around, eyes full of curiosity, she couldn’t bear it.

He probably hasn’t seen the outside world for a long, long time…

Shao Qing gave up her original idea with a sigh. Fortunately, Shao Bai was very smart. He weaved his rhizomes into tires so his speed was extremely fast.

After finding the place they parked the vehicle, they now had a means of transportation. Shao Bai liked to climb out to the skylight to enjoy the sun. This was because the sun was not visible in most places in the canyon.

Shao Qing was in charge of driving, while Shao Bai was in charge of taking care of the children. He was lazily basking on the roof of the car and Xiao Baozi would crawl all over him, looking very leisurely.

When it came to eating at noon, Shao Qing would stop and cook for the big and small child. Although Shao Bai was no different from plants now, his tastes were still human.

Moreover, he preferred spicy food, so they had either Sichuan poached sliced fish in hot chili oil or spicy chicken for lunch these two days.

At noon that day, Shao Qing was looking for edible food in the woods when Shao Bai’s roots came over and pulled her ankle. Shao Qing packed up the wild vegetables and mushrooms she picked and came back.

After coming back, she found two children, one large and one small, lying in the grass and looking out secretly. She sneaked over quietly and Shao Bai quickly pointed it out for her.

Shao Qing looked out, how should she put it, enemies are destined to meet. Standing there was no stranger, but Mu Lianchun who pretended to be an ordinary person last time and came to test them. At that time, she was still wanting to introduce Mu Lianchun to Mulin.

Mu Lianchun walked at the forefront of the team, escorting large boxes one after another. Those who were responsible for escorting were all ordinary superhumans, but amongst every three or five superhumans was a high-ranking zombie.

The most terrifying thing was that the strength of these high-rank zombies has improved again, with the worst being at rank 7. Amongst them was the woman holding the skull.

Shao Qing asked Shao Bai and Xiao Baozi not to make any noise. They gave up their car and followed behind these people secretly.

Shao Qing has always been very curious about what kind of person was behind Mu Lianchun. They have been fascinated but couldn’t find anyone, let alone the nest.

This time was a great opportunity. With luck, she might be able to find the other side’s nest directly.

A little later, Mu Lianchun raised his hands: “Let’s rest here. Don’t set up camp and surround the goods in a circle. Leave a patrol squad, Zhi Nu, let’s go take a look.”

The skull-holding woman nodded, then the two left the team.

Shao Qing and Shao Bai exchanged their thoughts mentally in secret, then slowly followed.

Mu Lianchun and Zhi Nu were very cautious. They checked the surrounding four to five hundred meters. When they were about to go back, they suddenly heard a faint cry for help.

Mu Lianchun and Zhi Nu looked at each other then they walked to the source of the cry for help. They were not going to save people. They were planning to investigate everything clearly, and stifle the dangers if necessary.

After they walked out for a while, they found a small swamp in front of them. There was a young man lying on the swamp. The young man looked very young, clutching the weeds on the edge of the swamp tremblingly, so as not to be swallowed by the swamp.

When Mu Lianchun saw the situation, he was planning to leave, but Zhi Nu stopped him. She looked at the teenager as if she had seen someone else, then couldn’t help saying: “I’ll go and see if I can save it.”

Mu Lianchun was a little helpless: “Then let’s go together.”

The two walked towards the boy. The swamp was actually not big, but the boy was too young, so it made it hard for him to come out. Zhi Nu was the first to walk over. She stretched out her hand and prepared to pull the boy. She hadn’t even touched the teenager yet, when the grass under her feet moved. Countless green vines swooped out and entangled the calves of Zhi Nu and Mu Lianchun. Their complexions changed and they were about to struggle when a familiar voice sounded behind them: “Don’t act rashly, or I’ll squish your heads before you break free.”

Mu Lianchun looked bitter and raised his hands, “I surrender… …”

Zhi Nu was well aware of Shao Qing’s strength, and was obedient. Shao Qing was not worriless yet, so she used the vines to entangle the two of them firmly, before saying: “Come out, Shao Bai, it’s cold inside. ”

Shao Bai raised his head, the rhizomes used a little force, and he got out of the swamp. The rhizomes of his lower body were still white with no dirt on it.

Shao Bai fluttered forward and fell into Shao Qing’s arms. Shao Qing held Shao Bai who held Xiao Baozi. She looked at the two people with cold eyes: “Tell me, where are you from? What are you transporting and where do you want to go? If you answer honestly, I can have a little conscience and let you two go.”

Just now, if they didn’t mean to save Shao Bai, she would have killed them directly. Now it seems that although these two people were working for the man behind everything, they have not lost their conscience.

Mu Lianchun, who was tied up like a silkworm chrysalis, thought for a long time, then finally said helplessly: “Since I have reached this point, then I have no choice but to tell the truth. We came from the north, there are a total of twelve survivor bases there. They are discussing the need to take action against Jiangcheng. The one above me made a deal with them. These are the balance payments and will be shipped back to our base.”

Zhi Nu added: “It includes crystal nuclei, superhuman crystals, and people……” When she said this, there was a faint sadness in her eyes.

“Where is your base, who is behind the scenes, and how were you made?” Shao Qing continued to ask.

Sure enough, the two were silent.

“Our base is in the south…” Mu Lianchun said honestly.

Zhi Nu suddenly interrupted Mu Lianchun: “In the south, close to the original S city survivor base and G city survivor base, huge dungeons were built underground. We were manufactured in batches…..”

When she spoke, the corners of her mouth began to bleed continuously, but Zhi Nu didn’t seem to feel it, and continued: “I don’t know the black hand behind the scenes. Every time he appears, he wears a cloak, never showing his face. He just lets us call him Mr. Qiu*…”

* revenge

Mu Lianchun couldn’t bear it. He wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Zhi Nu again: “Shut up. I’m… Behind Mr. Qiu is Dr. Jiang. Dr. Jiang cooperated with him to create a medicine that can increase the power of superhumans and zombies, but at the same time, they will be controlled by them….. But you should feel that although we are at rank 7, we are much weaker than the normal rank seven…”

Speaking to this point, the corners of Zhi Nu’s mouth were full of blood. She smiled: “Miss Shao, we have cooperated, can you keep your promise and release Lianchun…”

Shao Qing nodded. She almost knew that Mr. Qiu, 80%, had placed something in their bodies. As long as they told this secret, they would die.

Shao Qing didn’t regret it, but she looked at Zhi Nu a little helplessly. In Zhi Nu’s eyes, there was a deep obsession. She obviously didn’t want to die.

Mu Lianchun was on the side, trembling, he clenched his teeth,: “Are you…are you stupid?”

“I don’t have anything anymore, but you are different…” Zhi Nu smiled slightly. Shao Qing asked her gently: “Do you have any unfulfilled wishes?”

Zhi Nu looked at the skull that fell to one side, then said: “Can you bury me with him together…?”

When she finished speaking, she died. Black water was flowing out consistently from the surface of her body. The water was very corrosive and corroded Shao Qing’s vines.

In the end, Zhi Nu had only bones left, lying in the black water.

Shao Qing let go of Mu Lianchun, but Mu Lianchun did not run away. He knelt on the ground. Regardless of the corrosion of his palm, he picked up the bones bit by bit and wiped them clean with his clothes.

Shao Qing helped dig a pit on the side. The two buried the bones and skull together. Mu Lianchun remained expressionless. Knowing that the bones were all covered by soil, he said, “Would you like to hear our story? ”

Shao Qing nodded and sat to one side. She understood, whether it was Zhi Nu or Mu Lianchun, their minds were not bad, but they were forced to do those wicked things.

“She told me that she was called Zhi Nu. I don’t know what her original name was. I only know that she became a zombie when she was caught by a zombie after the end of the world. When she became a zombie, her husband was right next to her. She said that she was very afraid of becoming a cannibal and told her husband to kill her. Her husband refused. When she was desperate for flesh and blood, and her desire was going crazy, he would cut himself to feed her. Then he would lie to her that it was a pig raised by someone else. Later, she became a zombie and ate her lover. If it was just that, that would be fine, but after she became rank 6, she slowly remembered everything. I don’t know what it feels like to eat my lover. I only know that she felt very bitter…The skull was her lover, she has always been taking it with her… “ Mu Lianchun smiled as if he was crying: “She went to save the boy next to you because she had a son, if her son was still alive, he would be a teenager. He should be eighteen, but in the last days, her son went to school outside…”

Shao Qing looked at Mu Lianchun calmly, the sorrow and grief in her heart could not be described. Maybe it was really like what Zhi Nu said, it was meaningless for her to be alive.

Her only obsession was probably her son.

“What about you?” Shao Qing asked gently.

“I…I’m trash that nobody wants.” Mu Lianchun grinned and smiled, particularly ugly: “I am different from her. I was a born bad guy, a miserable wretch. I am a doctor in research. Originally, I was an ordinary person, then I was transformed into this. There were thousands of test products, but I was the only one who survived. After I was transformed, the first thing I did was kill my brother and sister-in-law. Do you regret letting me go?”

Shao Qing wiped the corners of his eyes. Zombies had no tears, but why did he cry?

“No regrets.” Mu Lianchun lowered his head and smiled. He stood up with difficulty, then walked back. Shao Qing asked him from a distance, “Do you hate it?”

Mu Lianchun whispered, “Hate it.”

Watching him leave, Shao Qing can imagine how much he has suffered and what kind of obsessions he may have to persevere in such pain.

Whether he was a good person or not, no one can tell, but at least, he was a person.

She was a good listener of stories, because she will remember these stories, whether it was the dead Zhi Nu or the living Mu Lianchun. At least while she is alive, she will always remember them.

After confirming the other party’s lair, Shao Qing didn’t follow them. She didn’t want to startle the snake. After all, the other party had the ability to make high-rank zombies in batches, but he shouldn’t have the ability to make eighth rank zombies.

If she rushed over, she may startle the snake, then she would lose the best opportunity. Instead, the most suitable option was to return to Jiangcheng then bring her little brother to solve the matter at once.

But the most important thing at the moment was not to solve the opponent’s lair, but to deal with the twelve survivor bases first. After the worries are resolved, the opponent’s lair can be exterminated.

Shao Qing glanced at the direction where Mu Lianchun had left. There were many ordinary people there, who were about to become victims of human experiments, but she could not save them.

You can call her cold-blooded or cruel, but she can’t rush to save these people, letting Mr. Qiu, the black hand behind the scenes, discover her new found knowledge. If that happened, more people would suffer.

After packing up their things, Shao Qing took her little buddies to the direction of Jiangcheng. The twelve survivor bases will not be easy to deal with. They already knew that Jiangcheng had at least two rank 8 superhumans. Yet they still dare make a move, what made them confident was definitely not just their numbers.

Only with the same number or even greater number of rank 8 superhumans can give them that confidence.

Thinking of this, Shao Qing can almost guess it. The other party was probably already cooperating with Mr. Qiu. They may not know that the consequences of improving their strength was that they would be controlled. They had to pay a price in exchange for the improvement of strength.

If you think about it according to this line of thinking, among the twelve survivor bases, there were likely to be several eighth-rank and some seventh-rank superhumans, otherwise they wouldn’t have the confidence to deal with Jiangcheng.

If this is the case, this time, Jiang Cheng was really in danger.

She must return to Jiangcheng quickly, tell her friends what she knows, and then work out a countermeasure.

Mr. Qiu is really terrible. If he were to control most of the high-level bases, Jiangcheng would not be able to come back, it would really be a hell for humans.

Just imagine, how many people can resist the temptation of increasing strength?

Those twelve bases, if they wanted to unite and start working against Jiangcheng, it would definitely take a period of time. This period of time included the time for meetings, the time for breaking everything in, and the time for mobilizing food and troops.

Finally, the time for approaching Jiangcheng. Jiangcheng must not sit still.

Compared with these people, Jiangcheng has no support and no ways to retreat. It was either they die or I die.

If possible, Shao Qing was really unwilling to kill humans, but she also knew that it was absolutely impossible to talk it through. This group of people has been fascinated by the benefits and strength. They were probably still discussing how much benefit they could get from Mr. Qiu again once they’ve defeated Jiang Cheng.

However, they didn’t know that the exchange was not a benefit, but a road to hell.

Shao Qing rushed back quickly while writing a letter. She must first inform those bases that have a good relationship with her, such as Yan Pingsheng, and not let them be fooled.

If they had fallen into the trap, she really had no way to save them. When Shao Qing rushed back to Jiangcheng, nearly a week had passed.

She was travel-worn and cut a sorry figure. The first thing she did when she entered the city was to ring the alarm bell, then gathered all the senior officials in Jiangcheng together and started a meeting.

This was the greatest danger Jiangcheng had faced since its establishment; there was no room for them to slack.

The road ahead was bumpy.
