Face-Slapping the Original Leaders of the Military Base (Apocalypse)
Yin Yun’s consciousness was being controlled. He walked away, step by step, as the rest of the zombies retreated. The other people who were also being controlled regained their senses. There were four people with healing abilities amongst the three teams, and those people quickly went to heal their teammates. But when they saw Xia Qingfeng’s situation, they could only shake their heads and go to see other injured teammates.
Xia Qingfeng’s face was pale. Due to excessive blood loss, he began to tremble and convulse. He didn’t have the time to do something about Yin Yun. Zhou Xu ordered, “If you are not injured, go and grab Yin Yun. If you are injured, don’t move. Healers, cure the powers quickly.”
“Yes.”
Zhou Xu gently moved Xia Qingfeng to the side, just in time for a large truck to block them from everybody else’s sight.
Zhou Xu raised his hand and touched Xia Qingfeng’s neck. A faint orange halo shined from his hand.
Through his confusion, Xia Qingfeng tried to open his eyes. Upon opening them, he saw Zhou Xu’s tight lips, saw his high nose, saw his frown, and saw his drooping bangs. Xia Qingfeng wanted to smile, but he couldn’t. However, in his eyes, he thought, it turned out that being embraced was such a warm thing.
Zhou Xu’s healing ability had actually reached seventh-level, which was even stronger than his water power. Zhou Xu estimated that it was impossible now to conceal it. In that case, he should let everyone know that his ability was the strongest. If they didn’t want to be in a situation where someone was injured and there was nobody to heal them, they’d better behave themselves and shut up.
Using his healing power was physically exhausting, and in twenty minutes, Zhou Xu could hardly hold on, but Xia Qingfeng still did not wake up.
Zhou Xu’s energy was being consumed. His bangs were wet with sweat, and his tightly wrinkled eyebrows couldn’t be relaxed. Zhou Xu had thoughts about being able to save Xia Qingfeng, but when he bowed his head, he saw Xia Qingfeng struggling to open his eyes and to raise his hand.
Zhou Xu couldn’t help but ask, “Do you want to touch me?”
Xia Qingfeng blinked his eyes. Zhou Xu’s strength was finally an arrow at the end of its flight. He was unable to smile and could only look at Xia Qingfeng and say, “Do you like me? Live on, and I’ll let you do it.”
Minutes passed, and Zhou Xu collapsed. He didn’t even know if Xia Qingfeng had lived or not.
The other healers also collapsed at the same time. After all, the healing system was such a pit. As for the people who went after Yin Yun, their pressure point was hit, causing them to freeze in place.
On the top of the warehouse in the distance was a zombie dressed in red, with red lips slightly hooked up. The zombie embraced the approaching Yin Yun, and said in a husky voice, “I have found you at last.”
The zombie in red took Yin Yun away, and the frozen teammates slowly regained consciousness. None of the three captains was present, so they could only go back.
The comatose were carried to the car, except for the dead. There were now only twenty people left, and six of them were unconscious.
However, what shocked them the most was that the wound on Xia Qingfeng’s neck had healed, and his heartbeat was very stable. They naturally guessed that Zhou Xu had a healing power.
Ding Zhaoyu originally wanted to manipulate public opinion, but whatever he said now would be doubted by the other powers. So after saying a few words, he could only be depressed and taciturn.
Wang Ying began thinking about her situation. Zhou Xu had rejected her too many times, causing him to become a thorn in her heart.
The dark sky and the sudden turn of events created a depressing atmosphere, pushing everyone to the brink of falling apart. No matter what, running into a fifth-level zombie, teammates being controlled, and seeing the three captains be missing or unconscious, all of it was frightening.
Amongst the fear, Ding Zhaoyu said quietly, “Let’s not think about it anymore. That zombie’s target just now should be Captain Yin, so it shouldn’t come back for the time being. If you’re still worried, let’s return to the base first.”
“That won’t do. There are a few injured people who can’t move, or else their wounds might re-open. We are not strong enough to turn the wounds into scars.” A healer said.
“In that case, is there anyone who wants to follow me to the military weapons warehouse? It’s right beside us. We don’t have to run far and we can take care of each other. Of course, if most people are afraid, let’s just stay here.”
The crowd quieted down, perhaps because Ding Zhaoyu’s voice was very calm. Everyone suddenly remembered that Ding Zhaoyu was once a team captain.
The area was silent for some time, but a man suddenly shouted, “Well, what the hell, if I stay in the car, I’m going to go crazy.”
After the man said that, most people followed him, because the atmosphere in the car was really too depressing. They were right beside the corpses of their dead teammates, and if they continued to stay there, the weight in their hearts would only worsen.
Two people stayed behind with Wang Ying, saying they wanted to stay behind to protect the injured. The rest went to the military weapons warehouse.
Wang Ying walked up to the sleeping Zhou Xu and snorted, “Hmph, do you think I can’t live without you?”
After she spoke, Wang Yingchong threw a meaningful look at the other two. They instantly understood that they shouldn’t waste their energy using their powers. They took out their daggers and stabbed Zhou Xu.
“Plop.” The knives went into flesh, causing blood to spurt. However, the knives didn’t go into Zhou Xu’s flesh, but into the bodies of Wang Ying’s accomplices.
Wang Ying was stunned. She stared blankly at Xia Qingfeng behind the two. “You, didn’t you faint?”
“Plop.” The knife went to flesh again. This time, it went into Wang Ying’s flesh.
Zhou Xu slowly sat up and his voice was still a little weak. He shook his head and said, “I told you to keep her alive, why did you kill her?”
Xia Qingfeng didn’t say anything. He just pulled the knife out and sat next to Zhou Xu.
Zhou Xu laughed and said, “I still wanted to make her face “blossom”, okay? We could have maybe seen a play. But because you were like this, I had less fun.”
Gently patting Zhou Xu on the head, Xia Qingfeng suddenly smiled. “I didn’t want her to taint your eyes.”
Zhou Xu didn’t move, because he was also stunned. This forever-cold-expression, forever ruthless Xia Qingfeng smiled? The man called “God of War” smiled?
A corner of Zhou Xu’s mouth hooked up. Zhou Xu laid down, as he still needed to rest. “Xia Qingfeng, did you hold on because I said that sentence?”
“Well, what you said, let me do that.”
Zhou Xu closed his eyes and heard Xia Qingfeng say, “I will not let you leave me in this life.”
Xia Qingfeng didn’t speak his next sentence because he was afraid to scare Zhou Xu. The next sentence was, “If you dare to leave me, I will imprison you, so that you can never leave.”
In fact, when Xia Qingfeng thought of this next sentence, he felt that he was being a little paranoid, but Zhou Xu was the first warmth he had ever encountered in his life, and he didn’t want to give him up.
Both of them had actually been awake. Zhou Xu was tired and too lazy to open his eyes, while Xia Qingfeng hadn’t recovered yet and couldn’t open his eyes.
But when Wang Ying said that she would stay, Zhou Xu knew she would definitely not do anything good. So, when the others weren’t paying attention, he gently scratched Xia Qingfeng’s palm. Zhou Xu was only testing to see if he was alive, but he didn’t expect Xia Qingfeng to hold his finger.
Zhou Xu whispered in Xia Qingfeng’s ear, “Wang Ying might make a move in a moment. Wake up and pay attention.”
“Ok.”
“Keep Wang Ying alive for me. What that woman fears most is disfigurement. I want to see her reaction.”
“Ok.”
The two men quietly settled the matter and looked at the corpse next to them. Zhou Xu said, “Who do you think that man was?”
“Do you remember the figure that followed us on our first mission? It should be him.”
Zhou Xu nodded and said, “I think so too. He’s a zombie emperor.”
“It’s hard to say.”
“Between you and him, what are the chances of winning?”
“If it can be done quickly, we can try it.”
Up until now, both of them had been silent, because Xia Qingfeng said “can try”, but he did not say “will win”. Add the fact that the zombie could control human minds, their enemy’s destructive power was doubled.
Suddenly, a slightly cool palm covered his forehead. Zhou Xu opened his eyes and saw Xia Qingfeng with a sullen expression. “What?”
“Now I want to,” Xia Qingfeng paused, before he continued, “fuck you.”
