CH 94

Two months later, as October approaches, the hot weather begins to turn cooler.

Those who were crying in the heat before overnight are now shivering in their cotton clothes, and the autumn breeze is even colder.

Shen Dongming and his team left the capital before the second outbreak of the virus.

He was sent to Z City to retrieve Professor Yang, an expert in genetics, and his research team. 

The central government had sent hundreds of teams to bring leading experts in medicine and biological sciences to the capital to fight the doomsday virus, with a view to working together to find a way to combat it.

Unfortunately, soon after they arrived in Z City, the virus broke out again and many zombie dogs and cats appeared in the area where they had stopped, so not only did they lose several of their comrades, even the helicopters were no longer used due to the fighting, so they had to find another way.

It took them nearly two months to get back to the capital after a journey that once took only a few days.

However, in the past two months, most of the world’s population had turned into zombies, plants and animals had mutated, cities had fallen, survivors had fled, not only that, even the weather had changed, it was getting hotter by the day. 

One day they woke up to find that the weeds on the ground had become more luxuriant, the branches of the trees on the side of the road had become extremely tall. 

It was as if they were living in a plant kingdom, some of the vines were even attacking living things, they once saw a mutant pig that had died from being tightly entangled in vines under a tree.

It was not hard to imagine that the situation in the capital was only not good.

Shen Dongxue said, “Big brother, I’m worried if something will happen to my parents, and my grandparents who are also old, if the virus is not resisted the second time, then…”

“Don’t think nonsense, let’s go back first.”

Shen Dongxue humphed and sighed, seeing that the capital was getting closer and closer. 

They were happy and excited but at the same time couldn’t help but be nervous and worried. 

Nowadays the global situation is not good, let alone the capital. She only hoped that her family would be safe.

Shen Dongxue turned back to the man in black who was sitting in a corner with his eyes closed and said, “Right Qin Yue, you said your family followed the troops to the capital in two months, the capital is in chaos, do you know how to find them? 

If it’s not easy to find them I can help you, it’s easy to find them as long as your uncle and aunt have gone to do the registration.”

Qin Yue said indifferently, “No need.”

“You saved us, it’s right for us to help you, don’t be polite.”

“No need.”

“…”

Shen Dongxue shook her head helplessly, she had long been used to Qin Yue’s indifference, this man appeared in a powerful stance when they were in a critical situation.

And when they were supposed to take a short break on the roadside and also to move the vehicle that was straddling the road, but they didn’t want a mutant snake to suddenly emerge from the roadside, swallowing one of their teammates in an instant, catching them off guard!

The snake was so huge that it overturned their car with a single flick of its tail. When they were about to die, Qin Yue suddenly appeared with his men and not only saved them, but also killed the mutant snake together.

Although he helped them, they were not close to each other, they only travelled together because their destination was the imperial capital, but not as a team, and he did not trust them, he spoke and acted from a distance, if not necessary, he could treat them all as if they did not exist.

Qin Yue even said that he was only helping them because he could, and that he would not hesitate to turn around and leave if his own life was in danger.

Yet even so, Shen Dongxue still admired and appreciated Qin Yue, and even Shen Dongming had high praise for him.

Yao Xiaoyue naturally did the same. She valued Qin Yue not only because he was powerful, but also because he was one of the few men who still adhered to the morality and rules of a peaceful world in the post-apocalyptic world, he would not kill innocent people indiscriminately.

Let alone plunder other people’s property just because he was powerful, let alone have those so-called one-night stands or multiple women to vent his emotions.

Yao Xiaoyue has lived in the post-apocalyptic world for more than ten years, and has seen with her own eyes that even ordinary psychics have two or even several lovers, and there are even more powerful psychics, and many others throw themselves at them.

While some psychics even rely on their extraordinary status to wantonly humiliate the ordinary people in the refugee area, and as long as they are pretty, no matter what gender they are, they are in danger of losing their virginity.

Only Qin Yue, who is not surrounded by those messy scandals, is affectionate, and although he is cold, as long as someone is approved by him, he will put his life on the line to protect them.

This man is cold on the outside but warm on the inside, and he is so good looking, who wouldn’t want to rope him in? Can’t you see that Shen Dongming has been persuading Qin Yue to come back to the military with him from time to time? Although all of them were rejected by Qin Yue.

Yao Xiaoyue was also quite puzzled, as she had obviously saved Qin Yue in the nick of time and helped him fight off the zombies, why was he still so indifferent to her? 

If she hadn’t followed her, he wouldn’t have said a word if she hadn’t left. It’s no wonder outsiders say Qin Yue is not good to deal with, because he doesn’t love beautiful women or money, he’s a stinky rock, he doesn’t care for salt and oil.

This journey has failed to make Qin Yue change his mind about her, and when she gets to the imperial capital, I’m afraid it will be even harder for her to get close to him.

In a previous life, the second outbreak of the virus caused the imperial capital to fall, and General Shen ordered all survivors to evacuate the imperial capital and temporarily live in the suburbs ten miles outside the imperial capital, which was also the predecessor of the future largest survivor base, Longfei Base.

Now that two months have passed, everyone in the imperial capital has already evacuated, and even if they go there, they will only face a city full of zombies. 

Of course, Yao Xiaoyue is not in a position to say this kind of thing explicitly, but only suggested that the imperial capital has a lot of people, and if half of them are really infected with zombies, the remaining half will only have a lot of people affected by the zombie wave, and there will only be fewer survivors.

And it is even more unlikely that they will stay in the city and wait for death: “We are not even sure The situation inside the city, it’s too dangerous to venture in.”

Shen Dongming nodded and said, “When the time comes, I’ll take two people over first to see how the situation is, otherwise it wouldn’t be safe for us to venture over.”

“Well, then I’ll go with you guys tomorrow, so that we can take care of each other if there’s any danger.”

“Good.”

Yao Xiaoyue had been with Shen Dongming and the others for almost a month, and her performance during this month was no worse than Shen Dongxue’s, or even better than hers.

Whether it was her ability to deal with zombies or her knowledge of mutant plants and animals was enough to make people impressed with her, and because of her warnings, she had reduced a lot of losses for them.

The next morning, the group set off again, but as they got closer to the Imperial City, the road became smoother and even the zombies were fewer, which was surprising, and when they finally reached the Imperial City around 1pm, they noticed that there were more people on the road, and they didn’t look like they were running for their lives.

Yao Xiaoyue was shocked to see this, she was ready to fight, how come the capital was different from what she thought?

When the car pulled over, Shen Dongming got out and pulled a man out and asked, “You guys came out from the Imperial City? How is the situation in the imperial capital now?”

Yao Xiaoyue said, “The world is in such a mess now, why are you still running outside if you are not properly led in the safe zone? Isn’t that looking for death?”

The man who was pulled back gave a heave and was not happy, “I am a fire ability user, and although there are a few ordinary people in my team.

We have all participated in zombie removal operations and learned some skills from the soldiers, so we are more than capable of dealing with ordinary zombies, so why can’t we come out? 

Besides, we have the strength and strength to stand up for ourselves in times of crisis. 

But you guys, you look like you’ve come from other cities, right?”

Yao Xiaoyue was displeased and gave a soft hum, she felt that these few people were just looking for death.

Qin Yue walked forward, Li Ming followed behind him, Qin Yue said, “This brother, you mean to say that the situation in the imperial capital is under control and has not fallen, right?”

“How did it not fall? It has fallen!” The man had an emotional look on his face and said thankfully, “Originally we were ready to retreat, thinking that we would escape even if we had to die, after all, the whole city is roaming with zombies, can you not be afraid? 

But not long after the virus broke out, I saw people in the Happy Community organizing to take the lead in cleaning up the walkers, and these people were really stupid, because not only did they clean up the walkers in their own area, they also started cleaning up the street’s! 

I watched them for a long time and realised that the zombies weren’t that scary, so I followed their example and started to organise people to clean up the zombies.

But there were some that I couldn’t handle, so we had to ask the people from the Happy Community to help us, and they were nice enough to come over and help us clean up the zombies as soon as they heard about the problem, and let us learn self-protection and zombie handling techniques with the soldiers…”

The man went on and on about how the situation in the city had improved, the northern part of the city had been completely developed into a safe zone, a thick and tall wall had been built to divide the uncleared area.

The military had organised to pick up the survivors from the southern part of the city and other areas, and also organised to start cleaning the city of zombies every day. 

This is an action that all humans can take part in, some of them are organized by the people themselves, some of them sign up with the military to take part, and when you sign up you will be trained first, and only when you are fit for battle will you be allowed to go up, and you will also get some supplies every day…

The first thing you need to do is to take the first step and try it out, and then there will be more and more people following suit.

As for why he came out today? It’s not that the governor of Jiang caught a pig a few days ago and was going to kill it for food, but he was afraid that it might be the only pig in the world, so he didn’t want to, thinking he could raise a piglet..

That pig but he went to see it, growing fat and strong, making roast pork must be delicious, so he came out to try his luck.

The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who have been in the military for a long time. The district chief of the security zone? I haven’t heard of such a person.”

The man let out two laughs: “What safe area of the district chief, is the head of the happiness district, we originally shouted her Jiang captain, but there are several teams in the happiness district, the surname Jiang is also quite a lot of people, so in order to deliberately give her a distinction, Jiang district chief is not just right?”

“…??”

The distinctive head.. is called the district chief, so creative????

Yao Xiaoyue could hardly believe it!

This imperial capital is too good to be true, isn’t it?! How is this possible, it was clearly not like this in her last life!

However, when she finally reached the gates of the city as the man said, and saw with her own eyes the wide and tall city walls, and saw many survivors outside the city lining up to register to enter the city, and even many people in uniform patrolling outside, she had to admit that it had changed, it had all changed, it was so different from the way she remembered it.

Shen Dongming and Shen Dongxue and the others were but a million times more thankful, Professor Yang’s family and his research team were even more joyful and crying, they had fled all the way, through how many storms. 

Now they had finally found refuge, a few people embraced each other at the entrance of the city and cried, especially thanking that Jiang district chief now.

Li Ming whispered in Qin Yue’s ear, “Brother Yue, why does this District Chief Jiang sound more and more like Jiang Nian to me?”

A rare smile appeared on Qin Yue’s expressionless face, “It’s her.”

There is no other person in this world who is that stupid and that nice.
