CH 98

Yao Xiaoyue was terrified, she was already a Level three ability user, but couldn’t break free of Qin Yue’s confinement! Was she going to die here today?

No, she was a reborn person, favored by the Heavens. She had not done anything grand yet, had not become someone whose glory was to be remembered for a thousand years, and had not taken back the jade pendant space yet. How could she die in this place? She didn’t want to die, and she didn’t understand why Qin Yue suddenly made a move against her. Even if she deliberately deceived him at first, but every man for himself, and the Devil takes the hindmost*. She just wanted to strengthen herself before others do. Was it wrong? Besides, didn’t she not tell him that she would reveal the techniques to him after a while, why did he hate her so much? To the point of wanting her to die?

Yes, she was not as stupid as Jiang Nian, who was willing to teach everyone her knowledge. She admitted that Jiang Nian was a thousand times, ten thousand times better than her, and even more admitted that Jiang Nian had saved countless people, but she could not do the same. But was it wrong for her to be a little selfish in order to protect herself? (T/N: she’s so infuriating, I want her to die already.)

What’s more, she thought she had treated Qin Yue pretty well when they were in the same team, but he actually repaid her kindness with betrayal!

At this time, Yao Xiaoyue couldn’t help regretting her past deeds.

If she had known today would come, she shouldn’t have saved him at the beginning, she should have killed him long ago!

But in a flash, the zombie tiger pounced on her, ending her line of thoughts, and as Yao Xiaoyue was facing death, in her despair, she only felt immense hatred! At the same time, the confinement that controlled her body finally snapped. She felt that her body was no longer imprisoned and immediately backed away, all while condensing a water curtain as a cover. And as the zombie tiger pounced on the water curtain, she took advantage of its distraction, rolled several times and finally escaped!

The feeling of escaping an imminent death made Yao Xiaoyue smile in triumph. But just after she sighed in relief, she screamed, her smile frozen on her face.

–It hurt so bad!

She lowered her head and saw a bloody knife stuck in her abdomen! She looked back and caugh sight of the man’s sinister face.

“Want to use me as a scapegoat, dream on! Let’s see who dies first?” Yao Xiaoyue gnashed her teeth with hatred, condensed a water ball and threw it behind her. Qin Yue drew his long knife and dodged her attack, his face full of malice. And as the two of them fought fiercely, the zombie tiger, attracted by the smell of blood, pounced on Yao Xiaoyue again!

Yao Xiaoyue was seriously injured, her physical strength and powers were almost exhausted, she fell into a disadvantageous position, was bitten by the zombie tiger several times, and her body was now covered in her blood. The man next to her had been looking for an opportunity to escape, but Yao Xiaoyue didn’t want him to live well. She couldn’t move for a while, and her body became riddled with injuries!

Qin Yue was indifferent to her suffering; Yao Xiaoyue could now taste the feeling of being betrayed. Unfortunately, she only felt pain, hatred, fear and resentment, but not once would she repent or reflect on her behavior. She took people’s feelings for granted, thought that being merciless was natural and never felt that she had done anything wrong.

It was to be expected that this kind of shameless person would only do evil, and of course, this fact only made Qin Yue hate and scorn her even more.

He sneered, Yao Xiaoyue really had a death wish, so he would fulfill it.

… When Li Ming came over with reinforcements, most of the team was dead, and the remaining few were seriously injured. They worked together in order to kill the zombie tiger, and the logistics unit carried the injured peoplle on stretchers. Captain Li’s face was dark, on the one hand, he felt heartache for the death of so many people, but on the other hand he was angry because they did not obey his command and went deep all by themselves, otherwise why would so many people die on the first day?

Li Ming looked around, but did not see Qin Yue, and of course neither did he see Yao Xiaoyue. He heard a surviving teammate say that they were chased by a zombie tiger and ran away. Captain Li immediately led a searching team to find and support them, and then gave an order to go forward and not to act rashly, otherwise the consequences would be at their own expenses.

Naturally, Li Ming did not go to search for Yao Xiaoyue and Qin Yue with Captain Li’s team, but followed the injured back first. It didn’t take long for Qin Yue to also come. He saw that there seemed to be no change in Qin Yue’s countenance, and felt a little unsure. So he went up to him and whispered: “Brother Yue, was the matter dealt with?”

Qin Yue said, “Yes, everything is fine. Where’s Jiang Nian?”

Li Ming said, “He Caicai is cleaning up the zombies in the front line. Captain Li asked us to take the injured back for treatment.”

Qin Yue hummed in acknowledgment, turned around and went to find Jiang Nian. After a few steps, he turned back and said, “You can’t tell Jiang Nian about this matter. You must be tight-lipped. You and I are not allowed to tell a third person. ”

Li Ming was puzzled: “Yao Xiaoyue is so bad, even if District Mayor Jiang knew, she would certainly understand you.”

“Anyway, if I don’t say it, you can’t say it.”

“…Okay.”

Li Ming looked at Qin Yue’s back. He scratched the back of his head, so what happened in the end?

Jiang Nian only later learned that a group of people went deep alone and encountered two mutant tigers, so they suffered heavy losses. Most of the people were either killed or severely injured. It was rumored that the captain and deputy captain were eaten the zombie tiger. When they found them, their corpses were almost unrecognizable. Their bodies were badly mutilated, but the zombie tiger who lead to their demise was not fearing much better. It was also dying, it had with broken limbs and could only crawl, and there was still a human arm in its mouth. After they found it, they used a knife to sever its head…

Captain Li brought all the sacrificial victims back, but their corpses could not be buried as they would be eaten up by zombies sooner or later, so they were all cremated on the spot, and their names were engraved on the security wall, to commemorate and remember them.

The loss was heavy on the first day, which undoubtedly lowered everyone’s morale very much.

Because of this matter, Captain Li and Dongming Shen have decided on imposing stricter rules and regulations. Nowadays, a catastrophe is at the forefront and life is precious. Every battle was a fight for everyone’s lives, so there should be no , and no sloppiness in the slightest! Even the self-built team of supernaturalists must obey the arrangement, otherwise the main team will lose a fraction of its power, which could not be tolerated.

Because of the lesson they learned the hard way, no one opposed it. After all, it was all for their own safety.

When they returned in the evening, they found Mother Jiang and Mother Qin waiting for them at the gate of Xingfu Community since early in the morning. The two women were finally relieved when they saw Jiang Nian, Qin Yue and others coming back together unscathered: “I heard that there were two Zombie tigers in the south of the city killing a lot of people, we were almost scared to death!”

Jiang Nian comforted: “Don’t worry, all of us are fine.”

Mother Jiang wiped her tears: “Thank God you’re all fine.”

Mother Qin patted Qin Yue on the shoulder: “Since it’s okay, you should go back and change clothes, take a rest, eat a hot meal, and relax. You must be exhausted today.”

Qin Yue agreed.

But before eating, Jiang Nian again reminded them of the old rule. First, go and see the big fat pigs that were kept in the underground garage. Female pigs will later give birth to a litter of piglets, so they must be caught but not eaten. This way, they’ll have an endless supply of meat!

At those thoughts, she smacked her lips in anticipation. Qin Yue looked at Jiang Nian’s eyes that were practically shining, and couldn’t help but smile: “I heard that there is a breeding farm nearby. When the rat infestation is resolved, I will go over and take a look.”

Jiang Nian shook her head: “That’s too dangerous. Even a pet shop can make many people lose their lives. If we go to the farm, we don’t know if we can come back alive. We shouldn’t take risks.”

Qin Yue said, “I know myself and my strength well, and I don’t want to die prematurely, so don’t worry.”

Jiang Nian smiled and waved her hand: “Actually, it doesn’t matter if we don’t have pigs anymore, we can still have dried small fish, right Caicai? It’s just that Caicai always claws them to death, otherwise we can raise the small fishes, maybe we can make a pond, and we can eat fish in the future!”

Wangcai howled: “Meow!!!”

Qin Yue: “…”

He smiled helplessly and laughed, inexplicably sympathetic to Wangcai.

…

Zombie rats were cleaned up in large areas, and after a week they no longer appeared in groups, but were seen fleeing everywhere. The rat plague was temporarily resolved. The casualties were counted. Supplies were distributed in turn. The wounded could seek medical treatment free of charge. If the family members of the deceased have children, the government would take care of them until they reach adulthood. If there were only elderly people left in the family, supplies would be distributed to ensure their livelihood every month.

After another three months, the southern part of the city was finally cleaned up, and General Shen also gave the northern part of the city a name, Longfei Base, which was the world’s first survivor base with a population of over one million.

More than half of a year after the beginning of the Apocalypse, the government was able to resume and it not only established a Longfei base in the imperial capital, but also sent troops to search for survivors throughout the area, set two survivor bases one after another, communication was restored.

Jian Nian completed her missions when issued. When she was free, she liked to watch the pigs. Thanks to Captain Li’s blessing, she really caught a female pig back when she was completing a mission of catching pigs near the farm. When they arrived, they didn’t dare to go too deep, so they set traps at the periphery, and this stupid pig fell into the trap.

The moment the pig entered the city, many people saw it, and the people that provokeed a lot of horror, thinking of pork belly, twice-cooked pork, braised pork, Dongpo pork…not to mention, the pig was obviously stinking. , But when you see it, it feels so fucking fragrant!

Jiang Nian had to watch the pigs twice every day, of course not to see two pigs in love, but because her big fat pig is pregnant and there were more than a dozen piglets in her belly. Not only Jiang Nian looked at them twice everyday, her dad and mom also did the same. Everyday, the whole happy community had to look at the mother pig twice, hoping that her litter would be born sooner, so Jian Nian could exchange other supplies for meat, once they thought about it, they began salivating.

Now that the security base was set up, production and supplies have became the top priority. Jiang Nian completed many missions in the southern part of the city, and saved some crops and fruit seeds. Now the majority of land in her jade pendant space was planted, so there will be no shortage of food, the only thing that was missing was big gold.

As for Qin Yue, he had outstanding and powerful abilities, so after a few missions, many ability users were willing to follow him. Now, although he had not joined the army, he was a team leader again. In his team, there were many capable people with extraordinary strength.

Qin Yue had changed a lot, the only that did not change is that he still liked to follow Jiang Nian.

As long as it’s okay, he will be with Jiang Nian.

How could people not notice something like this? Shen Ran got angry every time he saw Qin Yue sticking to his sister Jiang, this man definitely had intentions towards her , his sister Jiang was so good, she would definitely be deceived! Not only Shen Ran could see it, even Jian Nian’s father, mother and brother felt that Qin Yue’s thoughts were unusual, so they asked Jiang Nian on the sidelines, asking what her intention (towards him) was? They thought that Qin Yue was good. Although his temperament was a little boring, but he was honest and his ability was strong, and the key was that he was good to Jiang Nian. How could they not like him? Even Jiang Yuan held a honeyed admiration for Qin Yue after he was beaten to the ground a few times when sparring.

What intention had Jiang Nian? Although Qin Yue was the male lead, but the country was now in constant danger. As a pitiful little fry forgotten by the God of Wealth, how could she still think about her emotional problems?

Of course her intention was to do more tasks and rake in more gold. In this world, one had to do everything by themselves in order to be well fed and clothed. Others were unreliable.

It was also very pitiful. = = (T/N: I didn’t fully understand, maybe the sentence emphasizes how pitiful is our poor ML? Most likely.)
