Chapter 132
When Pei Yu'an opened his eyes, he found himself covered in medical equipment.
He blinked his eyes and realized that he seemed to have been reborn.
Reborn back to thirteen years ago.
Three years before the apocalypse.
And at this time, he still needed to rely on various machines to live.
Pei Yu'an lay in bed for a while, confirming that he could now control his body well, before sitting up.
As he moved, the machines next to him made sounds, and a bunch of doctors rushed in.
They were in a hurry to make Pei Yu'an lie down again, but Pei Yu'an wanted to remove all the equipment from his body, which surprised the doctors.
Fortunately, Pei Yu'an also knew that if he rushed to remove everything now, it would only backfire.
Therefore, a few days later, he told the doctors that his body had improved a lot.
After an examination, Pei Yu'an's physical condition did indeed improve significantly.
On the sixth day after being reborn, Pei Yu'an finally walked out of the hospital room where he had lived for more than twenty years.
In his previous life, it was not until after the apocalypse occurred that he awakened his abilities and his body gradually recovered.
Now, his abilities had also come back with him.
Pei Yu'an talked to his father for a long time, and finally met Gu Wanqing.
However, at this time, Gu Wanqing was also covered in many machines, seemingly to drain the energy from her body.
Although this process would cause Gu Wanqing some pain.
But for now, this was the only thing humans could do.
Gu Wanqing and Wen Qingsheng were the two people who survived that incident.
However, these two people did have a great help for the future situation.
Although they still lacked the most critical piece.
But the most critical zombie virus would not appear until three years later, so there was no rush now.
If possible, he naturally wanted to prevent the apocalypse from happening.
Pei Yu'an entered the laboratory where Gu Wanqing lived and directly stopped all the machines.
With the machines stopped, Gu Wanqing's whole body began to burn with fever.
She felt pain in all her internal organs.
Pei Yu'an, however, ignored her suffering and simply stood by her bedside, allowing Gu Wanqing to grab his wrist.
Until he heard Gu Wanqing's somewhat weak voice: "Am I going to die?"
After all, so many machines were very expensive, and with current medical skills, it was also impossible to determine what exactly was going on with the energy in her body.
So Gu Wanqing felt that it was normal for her to be abandoned.
It was good that they didn't slice her up.
"No, you can pull through. If you don't pull through, the world will really be doomed," Pei Yu'an said in a tone that wasn't very serious.
Just like he was coaxing a child.
This made Gu Wanqing, lying on the bed, feel that this guy she was meeting for the first time was an unreliable blabbermouth.
Pei Yu'an didn't leave either, just standing by the bed waiting for Gu Wanqing to endure it.
The energy that had dissipated over the past three months had already been a huge waste.
Even more wasteful in the previous life, wasting a whole three years.
This caused Gu Wanqing's spatial upgrade to be exceptionally difficult.
It took ten years to break through the third layer, while Pei Yu'an heard Gu Wanqing mention that her space had a total of ten layers.
The first layer contained food and water, the second layer contained clothes, cars, gasoline, and the like.
The third layer was finally the weapon storage.
More importantly, at that time, the people with abilities were also invaded by the zombie virus, causing many of them to develop zombie-like mutations in their bodies.
In the ten years of the apocalypse, many of the gifted people had lost limbs.
The most important reason was that those crystals were still constantly transmitting the zombie virus, and as time passed, they were constantly mutating.
So purifying the origin of the crystals was also critically important.
Therefore, Wen Qingsheng was also very important.
Wen Qingsheng's ability was very special.
It was a purifying ability.
That is to say, as long as Wen Qingsheng was willing, he could purify the virus on the zombies' bodies.
But it required paying with a corresponding portion of his life span as the price.
And this ability could be said to be a one-time use.
Yes, Pei Yu'an knew about Wen Qingsheng's ability because he had used it once.
At that time, Pei Yu'an had taken over his father's position and become the commander of the Base.
Therefore, Wen Qingsheng purified the zombie virus for him.
So when Pei Yu'an was bitten by a zombie, he did not turn into one himself.
But in the end, the result remained unchanged.
He still died.
So after Pei Yu'an was reborn, he took over the crystal matter.
Of course, this also took some effort.
"What we need to do is remove the virus from these crystals, so that the crystals can be used by humans. And to remove the virus, we still need your help," Pei Yu'an said, turning his gaze towards Wen Qingsheng.
At this time, Wen Qingsheng felt a little nauseous and queasy. Seeing Pei Yu'an say this, he pointed at himself.
He was neither a scientist nor a studious type. He had barely managed to get into high school and was preparing to do odd jobs to pay his high school tuition.
After all, he was an orphan, and the matron had many others to take care of, including many younger and better students who needed money.
He was just the bottom of the class, so he had to work hard himself.
But then he was in a car accident, though luckily he survived.
As for what exactly happened during the accident, he could no longer remember.
When he woke up, he was already in this place.
Now someone was saying they needed his help, which left Wen Qingsheng at a loss for words for a moment.
Of course, later on he didn't actually have to do it himself.
He just had to cooperate with those researchers.
Although Wen Qingsheng was a poor student, he did pay attention to social news.
So when he saw those researchers he had only seen on the news appear before him, Wen Qingsheng actually felt that his life had been worthwhile.
Of course, Gu Wanqing also began her training.
After all, she used to be a martial arts blogger.
Born into a martial arts family, Gu Wanqing had naturally been practicing martial arts since childhood.
So she could use swords, spears, sabers, and whips.
She also had quite a few fans on some video platforms.
It's just that this accident had caused her to disappear from the platform.
It took Gu Wanqing a long time to accept the passing of her parents.
But she was still alive, so she had to live on properly.
Now almost half a year had passed, and Gu Wanqing wouldn't be too sad anymore.
How could she say it, she was very fortunate.
Also, because of the extraordinary ability she had awakened, plus the fact that the authorities had handled her parents' affairs, it was only natural for Gu Wanqing to become an official person.
However, she wasn't someone who worked on the surface, but rather did things secretly.
For the remaining time, Pei Yu'an was trying to build the Base and prepare food in advance.
Building the Base wasn't that difficult, but securing food was hard.
If ordinary people lacked the ability to go out and find food, they would only starve to death.
In the ten years of the apocalypse, more people were killed by other humans fighting over food than were killed by zombies.
So whether it was the Base or weapons, food was very important.
And then there was the water source.
As long as they could produce virus filters to purify the Zombie virus through Wen Qingsheng's ability, at least their future life wouldn't be that difficult.
It's just that now there were still more than two years left, and it was uncertain whether they could make it in time.
Even Pei Yu'an had thought of negotiating with other countries about this matter.
But after thinking about it, he felt it was futile.
After all, not everyone who looked human was actually human.
So Pei Yu'an felt that as long as he took care of his own country and his own people, that would be enough.
He wasn't someone who could manage a country.
But his younger brother was still young.
The more than two years passed quickly.
Even with the abilities of Pei Yu'an and the authorities, the apocalypse still occurred.
Moreover, it happened right on time, without the slightest change.
Although the authorities had been conducting these drills, the residents had not.
No matter how prepared they were, they naturally couldn't control a population of nearly two billion.
On top of that, zombification happened overnight.
There was simply no time to prepare.
That many people suddenly turned into zombies overnight.
As for what principle was behind it, Pei Yu'an still hadn't figured it out in these nearly three years.
In any case, a single person or a few people, or even just one country, could not stop such a calamity.
And the first thing to determine was the situation at the country's borders.
Pei Yu'an had to go, and Gu Wanqing, who was his bodyguard, naturally could not avoid going.
If Gu Wanqing was going, then Wen Qingsheng naturally had to go too.
Along with Xiao Tian, the dog that Gu Wanqing had raised over these few years.
As Pei Yu'an watched the car leave the Base, heading southwest, he knew that the wheels of fate had begun to turn.
Only this time, he did not know what fate awaited humankind.
