End of the World Cycle

As Qin Zhang slowed down his pace, he found more and more that this place was different from other bases. There were shops, but not many. Most of them were middle-aged and elderly people selling daily necessities or decorations. There was nothing about food.

Xie Qin suddenly realized that he had not found anything related to planting here, nor did he see any food processing plants or farms.

“Isn’t this where you planted it?”

"No."

"Where is that?"

"do not know."

"Aren't they saying that there are a lot of people in the four major bases? Why do I feel like there aren't that many people here either? Where are the others?"

"do not know."

Xie Qin rolled his eyes, paused, and said angrily with his hands on his hips.

"You don't know anything when I ask you, so why did you bring me here?"

"The commander asked me to bring it."

Qin Zhang's tone was still cold, and he seemed a little impatient.

"Are you dissatisfied with me?"

"No, is Miss Guo still shopping?"

"Go shopping! Why not?" After all, this person will follow her to other bases later, and she has to take the opportunity to get to know this person.

The two continued to walk one after the other. Qin Zhang didn't say a word the whole time. Xie Qin was struggling to find a breakthrough point. He looked up at the dazzling sunlight refracted in and found a parasol from the space.

"Hey! It's too sunny, please hold an umbrella for me."

Qin Zhang was stunned again, and looked back at Xie Qin, who had the temper of a young lady, with a face full of self-righteousness. Looking at the girl's porcelain-white skin, he hesitated for a moment, but still did not step forward.

"You have hands."

"You! I'm going to tell my great-grandmother that you're bullying me!"

"I don't/"

"You have it. Grandma told you to take care of me. You have to hold an umbrella for me!!!!!" Xie Qin saw a flash of relaxation in Qin Zhang's eyes and his mood did not change. She knew that she could go a little further.

Sure enough, Qin Zhang snorted heavily, took two steps to Xie Qin's side, took Xie Qin's umbrella, opened it and adjusted the angle to block the sun for her.

"That's pretty much it."

Later, Xie Qin went shopping and bought some clothes and small accessories according to Xu Yangyang's preferences, all of which were cute pink things.

Even though he complained countless times in his heart, he still happily let Qin Zhang pay for the digital currency. After a round of walking, Xie Qin actually discovered something.

From the words of passers-by and the analysis of the small fort, Xie Qin discovered that all the people living here were high-tech talents. Those who opened shops outside were also the families of these useful talents.

Ordinary people can't get in here at all. There is indeed a fortress to resist danger, but this fortress only protects useful people. According to this calculation, the number of people who can really survive the natural disaster should be less than three million.

You have to know that this ratio is a catastrophe for the world's six or seven billion people. If you really want to open up a bloody path for mankind in the end times, it is undoubtedly a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

For some reason, his heart felt numb and cold sweat broke out on his palms. Xie Qin understood that it was the feeling of fear.

When I got home, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon. Xu Nuo had already woken up and found a not-so-large water bottle to practice throwing in the yard.

Qin Zhang, who had been uninterested, looked at Xu Nuo. At a distance of ten meters, there was a small opening of a mineral water bottle. Some stones, which were only slightly smaller than the diameter of the bottle, were thrown steadily into the bottle.

"Can you use a gun?" Qin Zhang asked.

Then Xu Nuo glanced at Xie Qin inconspicuously, and when Xie Qin nodded slightly at him, he opened his mouth to answer.

"meeting."

"Let's try at the training ground?"

"I...."

"If you meet my requirements, I will take you into the army."

"No, I still have to go visit my parents." This time Xu Nuo didn't look at Xie Qin and refused directly.

Xie Qin saw the obvious disappointment on Qin Zhang's face, but he didn't say anything more and went straight into the house.

Guo Dingtao came back at six o'clock and brought a lot of snacks that are not available outside. They are all sweet, mainly candies.

The two soldiers placed the cardboard boxes of snacks on the coffee table in the living room. Guo Dingtao looked at Xie Qin coming down from upstairs, and his expression softened a lot.

"Qinqin, come here. Take these with you on the road. I'll make some more food later and put it in the space. Don't get hungry on the road."

"Atai, I prepared it all myself."

"Take it with you. It's not too far to Tianhao Base, so you don't have to hurry. It's safe with Qin Zhang here. It will take two days."

"Okay, thank you, Grandma." Xie Qin thanked him sweetly, and even Guo Dingtao himself didn't realize that his face was already full of smiles.

The next morning, when Xie Qin went down to the exit, he saw the car prepared by Guo Dingtao.

It looked like an ordinary off-road vehicle, but after the small fort scanned it, Xie Qin realized that this vehicle was explosion-proof. It was hard to tell what material it was made of, but it was no worse than the vehicles exchanged by the system.

A drizzle began to fall from the sky again, and the temperature dropped to ten degrees. Most people would feel a little cold, but Xie Qin thought it was just right.

Qin Zhang was driving and Xu Nuo was sitting in the passenger seat. When Xie Qin got to the back seat, she saw that there was an extra layer of pink cushion, a small pink pillow, and a pink blanket on the back seat.

Seeing this scene, Xie Qin's mouth was stiff. He accidentally glanced at Xu Nuo in the right rearview mirror. The boy was actually trying not to laugh. As someone who had known Xie Qin for such a long time, he knew some of Xie Qin's little dislikes.

Although he respected Xie Qin in his heart, he was just a child after all. He couldn't help laughing when he saw Xie Qin's frustrated look.

Xie Qin got into the car and drove up the slope of the driveway and out of Pangu Base. Haotian Base was to the west of Pangu Base. The further west he went, the lighter the rain became.

Strangely, we didn't encounter any zombies on the road. After driving for about an hour, the car stopped. Qin Zhang was seen tapping the screen on the car's central control, as if changing the route.

"Do you want to change your route?"

"Ah."

"Why?"

"Go pick up something on the way."

"Are you sure this is a direct route and not a detour?"

Qin Zhang didn't say anything, but just pointed at the screen. Xie Qin looked and found that the arrival time was shortened by more than an hour.

“The distance is short, so it’s a little bumpy.”

Xie Qin leaned forward, and the faint scent of jasmine from the girl's hair suddenly entered Qin Zhang's nose, and he seemed to be able to feel Xie Qin's warmth. At such a close distance, he realized that this young lady's face was so delicate that even the pores could not be seen.

Suddenly, he remembered what the leader had said to him, and thought of some things that might happen in the future. Then he moved his body away from Xie Qin unnaturally.

The girl's slender, white fingertips slid across the screen, and her beautiful eyes observed the map without blinking.

The road Qin Zhang had to take was to reach a small basin, and then there was a branch line with some changes in the terrain, which led directly to the Haotian Base. Xie Qin did not say anything more and sat back in the back seat.

After the car started again, it started to shake a bit. It wasn't uncomfortable, but the shaking made me want to sleep. In addition, the cushion under my butt was very comfortable, and there was a pillow and a fluffy blanket. Everywhere I touched was soft, which made me feel even more like sleeping.

Then Xie Qin did the same thing. She took off her shoes to make sure there was no smell, then covered herself with a small blanket, curled up her legs, and fell asleep with a pillow.

Afterwards, Xie Qin was woken up by Xu Nuo. Qin Zhang was no longer in the driving position, and the sound of zombies "ho~ho!" came to his ears.

Xie Qin stood up and looked out the window. At first glance, the scene outside shocked him again. All he could see were zombies! !

The location was that small basin, and the car was parked outside the high fence. Inside the fence, there was a endless area filled with zombies. Xie Qin put on his shoes and got out of the car.

As they approached the fence and searched with their mental power, they finally found Qin Zhang in an area separated by a metal net about 300 meters away from them.

After finding Qin Zhang, Xie Qin realized that all the zombies in that area were level 2 zombies. After discovering this special point, Xie Qin climbed onto the roof of the car and continued to observe inside with his mental power.

Sure enough!!! There was another separate area on the mountain to the west of the zombie group, and there were four level 3 zombies in the area. The distance was too far, so Xie Qin had to spend some points to let the small fort transmit the picture.

I saw a huge cage formed by dense iron mesh. I could see the crackling electric current on it. The four zombies were all ordinary zombies with special powers. There were also animal body residues at the bottom of the cage. It was not difficult to see that these four zombies were kept in captivity.

Looking at the first-level zombies in front of him that were crowded together and unable to move, Xie Qin seemed to have thought of something.

The authorities are also keeping zombies in captivity!

His eyes fell on Qin Zhang again. He was the only one in the cage, surrounded by about two or three hundred second-level zombies, attacking Qin Zhang mindlessly. Qin Zhang kicked away the zombies approaching him one by one, with such great strength that Xie Qin almost thought he was a power-type mutant.

Several zombies that were kicked away knocked down the zombies behind them, and instantly a small area was opened in front of Qin Zhang. Qin Zhang spread out his five fingers and raised them forward. The surging water layer instantly soaked all the zombies.

Before the water layer that was ejected from the palm of his hand completely landed on the ground, two more lightning bolts shot out, visibly following the water marks and knocking all the second-level zombies in the cage to the ground.

Before this, Xie Qin only thought that crushing the zombies' heads was the only way to make them fall down and unable to move again. However, after seeing the fourth-level thunder power, Xie Qin realized that there was more than one way.

Somehow, Xie Qin felt a little lost, feeling the powerful superpowers in his body. The fourth-level water, fire, strength, and mental superpowers, and the third-level space superpowers, seemed to be no match for Qin Zhang's fourth-level thunder superpower.

The frustration of knowing that he was very powerful but not knowing how to use it instantly occupied Xie Qin's entire mind.

It seemed like her methods had always been wrong. She was only thinking about how to hide her strength, but she forgot that no matter how sharp a butcher knife is, it will eventually rust if you don't use it to kill pigs.

On the other hand, people like Qin Zhang seem to have outstanding combat capabilities, and his fourth-level supernatural power is a real fourth-level supernatural power.

After the zombie fell to the ground, someone quickly opened the door next to the mountain, and then ten people skillfully pried open its head and took out the crystal core.

When Qin Zhang came back, Xie Qin had already returned to the car. He saw Qin Zhang holding a glass jar filled with corpse crystals of second-level zombies.

Xie Qin was in a daze, thinking of many possibilities in her mind, but in the end, none of them were finalized. She was still too conservative. Before the fourth level of the space system was available and before she chose a new ability, she couldn't expose herself. She looked at Qin Zhang. She knew that there are always people out there.

After suffering from Du Mingxuan's loss, Xie Qin had some brains. She was not the strongest yet. She still had time. She was not afraid. With billions of zombies in the world, there was no problem finding a place for her to train.

I must be more careful and more thorough. After making up her mind, she decided to go to these four official bases. Using her identity as Guo Dingtao's great-grandson, she would try to carefully detect the strength of the official bases. It could be considered a thorough investigation.

If the time is right, she will have to go to the First Base. Du Mingxuan is a huge hidden danger, and this person must not be allowed to live. And Lu Chaoyun, she always feels that she missed some important information in her previous life, and always gives her a feeling that Lu Chaoyun is not as simple as she sees.

The car stopped and Xie Qin immediately withdrew his thoughts.

"Let's take a rest here." After listening to Qin Zhang's words, Xie Qin looked out of the car window and saw a temporary inn that looked very high quality.

There was no one at the station, but there were self-service vending machines. Although they only sold some water and packaged convenience foods, it was still a little incredible.

Seeing the deserted surroundings, Xie Qin frowned, wondering why there was a self-service vending machine here. Xu Nuo took the rag from the car and glanced at Xie Qin and then at Qin Zhang.

"Brother Qin, give me some water. I'll wipe the table."

Qin Zhang took the rag, which was instantly soaked with water. After thanking him, Xu Nuo picked up the rag and cleaned the dining table and the stool under the awning next to him.

"Aren't you afraid that this thing will be stolen if you put it here?" Xie Qin asked curiously while looking at the vending machine.

You know, in other places, food is very precious, especially after experiencing drought, floods and cold waves, there is almost nothing to eat in those places. If such things are placed in the cities where he passes, no matter where they are, they will be smashed and looted.

Qin Zhang looked at Xie Qin and suddenly seemed to think of something.

"Are you a fourth-level mutant?"

Xie Qin had expected this person to find out, after all, he had a fourth-level ability. For some reason, Qin Zhang had only asked about it now.

Xie Qin looked up and smiled innocently at Qin Zhang.

"Same as you, but I have a rare space ability which is only level three, while the ordinary power ability is level four."

Qin Zhang couldn't help but be surprised when he heard Xie Qin's confirmation. Thirteen years old, fourth-level superpower. Power and space. Maybe it's because all men admire the strong. Suddenly, he felt that the chief's proposal was not unacceptable.

It was rare for him to say a few more words of explanation to Xie Qin.

"You are probably the only one who can break this. It is more sturdy than you can imagine. Moreover, this device has a self-destruct system. If it is dismantled by excessive external force, it will explode."

"If it's going to explode, why install it? What a waste of materials." Xie Qin pretended to be confused and complained, pouting unconsciously. Qin Zhang's eyes were inexplicably attracted to Xie Qin's face.

I found that the little girl's facial expressions were very cute, so I became more patient and started to explain to her.
