End of the World Cycle

The man walked forward for a distance and suddenly stopped. Xie Qin leaned over to take a look and smiled awkwardly. It was the remains of the man he had let go at the beginning.

A head was staring at the tree next to it. There were also some hands and internal organs scattered around. Xie Qin knew that Awu and Aha would never be interested in human flesh. They must have been bitten to death and then crushed by the surrounding animals and plants.

"There are so many ferocious beasts in these deep mountains and old forests." Xie Qin found the man's expression interesting and wanted to tease him, so she spoke.

Unexpectedly, the man's expression did not change, he just said "hmm" softly.

After walking for a distance, the terrain gradually became higher. Xie Qin's mental power could also detect that there were people moving around not far away. After crossing a high ground and breaking through the jungle, there was a valley in front of them.

Wooden houses were built around the valley, and even terraces were cultivated in the middle. Many people were working inside. Xie Qin's arrival attracted attention. Although strangers were often brought here, they were all carried in after fainting.

Of course, there are also survivors, such as those with low-level abilities and obedient people, and ordinary people with labor value. This woman is so beautiful, maybe that's why she survived.

Although everyone was wondering why Captain Fang brought her back alone, no one asked. They just admired Xie Qin's beauty and continued to work.

The two walked in silence. During this time, Xie Qin also saw the look the man gave to the guards nearby. There was no verbal communication. Xie Qin was not afraid that they would know the location of Xie Ran and the others with just a glance.

Sure enough, a few minutes later, Xie Qin found that there were more high-level psychics around him, all of them were level 4 psychics. Xie Qin couldn't help but smile, but still followed the man into a very sturdy wooden building. There were people guarding outside the wooden building, but there was no strict inspection, so Xie Qin entered easily.

"Professor Lu is upstairs." The man stopped.

"You won't take me up there yourself?"

"Professor Lu doesn't like others entering his laboratory."

"Then I'll wait here until he comes to see me. You know I value time very much. If you waste my time, I can only fill it with the corresponding people. Don't wait until we go back and you are looking at a cage of corpses."

"You!!" The man wanted to get angry, but she couldn't afford it. He knew that this woman was really capable of doing it. He just said "you" heavily, looked at the woman who was sitting comfortably on the stool, and turned to go upstairs.

There was a knock on the door, and the person inside was obviously a little angry.

"Didn't I tell you not to disturb me when I'm doing experiments?" An angry voice came, and Xie Qin's body tensed up for a moment. It was a familiar voice. Even though he hadn't seen the person, Xie Qin was sure that this person was Lu Chaoyun, the Lu Chaoyun whom he had called teacher for more than two years in his previous life.

It was also Lu Chaoyun who personally put herself on Du Mingxuan's bed. Xie Qin stood up and went upstairs. The door upstairs was not open yet, and the man in front of the door was pushed open. Without hesitation, he kicked the door open.

The heavy wooden door fell to the ground with a dull thud. The bottles and jars in the room also collided and made noises. There were quite a few people in the room, seven or eight. Three of them were wearing white coats and doing research on protective equipment. There were four people wearing the combat uniforms of the First Base. They were all fourth-level mutants. The four of them came to the door first and stopped Xie Qin.

The tallest of them, the man in a white coat, goggles and a mask, turned around and saw a woman standing at the door, a pair of beautiful eyes staring at his face.

Lu Chaoyun didn't react for a moment, mainly because the man was too handsome. It was not until Xie Qin wanted to come in and was stopped that Lu Chaoyun straightened up, frowned and looked at the man next to him.

"Captain Fang? What is this?"

"This lady said she wanted to see you, so I brought her here." The man called Captain Fang was not afraid that Lu Chaoyun would be in danger. After all, there were many people protecting Lu Chaoyun, and they were all high-level rare superpowers. This was why he dared to bring this woman here.

"See me?" Lu Chaoyun waved his hand, signaling the men to let Xie Qin in. Xie Qin smiled and slowly walked towards Lu Chaoyun, without any aggression. The people around were also confused by Xie Qin's appearance.

A girl who looked weak and pretty, no one knew her purpose in coming here. Lu Chaoyun signaled these people to inexplicably start to take it lightly.

Xie Qin didn't say anything, but raised her hand to pull off Lu Chaoyun's mask. Lu Chaoyun wanted to block her, but he didn't expect the woman's movements to be so quick. At that moment, he caught the murderous intent in the woman's eyes.

After confirming that the person in front of him was Lu Chaoyun, Xie Qin did not hesitate at all. The dagger that suddenly appeared in his hand pierced straight through the heart of the person in front of him.

Due to excessive force, the white and tender little hand and the handle of the knife pierced through Lu Chaoyun's chest. He was already dead. Xie Qin withdrew his hand, and Lu Chaoyun fell heavily to the ground. Only with a bang did the people at the door recover from their shock. The people who were protecting Lu Chaoyun did not react.

Xie Qin didn't want to fight at all. When these people came over, Xie Qin had already flashed into space and disappeared.

In just a minute, Lu Chaoyun died in front of them. It was so fast that it seemed as if he had died suddenly, without giving people any time to react.

Xie Qin in the space laughed so hard that tears came out. It was not because she was happy that her great revenge was achieved, but because these idiots were even more stupid than she thought. Lu Chaoyun died too easily. Xie Qin herself felt unhappy for no reason.

Next time I kill Du Mingxuan, I must torture him thoroughly. It seems that dying too easily is also a reward for them.

Seeing these idiots chasing after him, thinking he had escaped, Captain Fang told them the specific location of Xie Ran and the others, and a group of people also ran over there to catch them. Xie Qin seized the gap, got out of the space, and quickly headed towards his teammates from the other end.

The other side had a speed-type mutant, but his combat power was not high. Although he found Xie Ran and the others before Xie Qin, he did not dare to act rashly. After Xie Qin arrived, he packed up all his things and ran towards the north.

In the jungle, with Shui Liqing's spiritual power hidden, the group of people had no direction at all, and they were busy until late at night without finding any traces.

At this moment, Xie Qin and his men had already run to a waterfall ten kilometers away from the scene of the incident.

If Huang Yuanyuan hadn't been unable to hold on any longer, Xie Qin would have planned to run forward for a while.

"Sister, what were you doing? Why should we run away? Wouldn't it be better to just kill those people?" Xie Ran asked in confusion.

"Yes, that's right!" Xu Yangyang on the side also nodded in agreement.

Xie Qin glanced at the two people, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help twitching. These two children seemed to be more immoral than herself. These three views were definitely big demons. She thought she was not a very bad person, and always adhered to the principle of "I will not offend others if they do not offend me", but these two children were obviously not like that.

This is completely without moral constraints, coupled with the influence of their own occasional immorality, resulting in the fact that the only way these two people can think of to deal with anyone who gets in their way is to kill them.

"Don't you think it's troublesome? There are so many people, and it will not only make trouble but also dirty your hands." Xie Qin didn't know how to reason. After thinking for a while, he came up with a disadvantage of killing someone.

"I can use my mental power to crush their brains." Xie Ran took two steps forward and walked in front of Xie Qin, his eyes shining as if he had thought of a perfect idea.

"Of course, we are also human beings. We need people. It would be meaningless if we killed them all."

"I know, I know. Teacher Zhou told me that we need a complete society." Xu Yangyang instantly understood what Xie Qin meant and replied.

"That's right. If we want to survive, we need a complete and healthy society. Society includes many kinds of people. There are not only people who make you feel comfortable, but also people who make you hate them. There is no need to kill such people unless they threaten your life. Do you understand?"

"I understand, sister." Xie Ran nodded as if he understood. He didn't understand society, but he understood what his sister said, that people who didn't threaten his life don't need to be killed.

Xie Qin was in a good mood. After all, killing Lu Chaoyun was more satisfying than obtaining a fourth-level crystal core. After confirming that the surroundings were safe, Xie Qin set up camp on a vacant lot not far from the waterfall.

After setting up the tent and getting out of the RV, everyone simply washed up. Shui Liqing's wound still couldn't stop bleeding, so Huang Yuanyuan had no choice but to carefully suture the broken skin, apply gel, and bandage it carefully before the bleeding stopped.

"Does he have any other solution?" Xie Qin looked at Shui Liqing worriedly.

"There's nothing we can do. His structure is different from that of the human body. His skin has already died. I don't know why it won't rot, but his skin has lost its vitality and can't heal on its own. However, his muscles and blood vessels are still active. This is the situation we are in now."

"Does it hurt?" Xie Qin asked, squeezing Shui Liqing's hand.

"Huh~"

"He said it didn't hurt." Xie Ran spoke at the right time. Xie Qin couldn't understand. What she absorbed was Xie Ran's spiritual power. Logically, she should have the same all-round power as Xie Ran, but now it is obvious that Xie Ran's power is stronger than hers.

His special ability seemed to be limited to mind control and intracranial strangulation. Unlike Xie Ran, he seemed to be able to communicate with all living things and could keenly detect all living things he wanted to find. Unlike himself, he was limited to humans and zombies. Although he could sense larger animals that were slightly closer, he could not do it like Xie Ran.

After bandaging Shui Liqing temporarily, Xie Qin collected the shed skin of Shui Liqing and planned to wait until he met a more capable researcher in the future to see if he could find a way to help Shui Liqing heal.

The rainforest was very humid, so the group switched their drinking water to barley and red bean water, thinking that eating something spicy could remove the moisture. While it was still early, they did not rush to look for plant crystal cores.

Several people were enthusiastically washing vegetables in the water flow formed under the waterfall, preparing to have a sumptuous hot pot.

All the ingredients were available, and everyone got to choose two dishes they liked. The Shui brothers drank blood that had just been drawn from someone else, and ate fresh beef liver that Liu Xiangyi had prepared for them before they left. In addition, the sashimi prepared by Xie Qin made the meal much richer than usual.

It was a little chilly next to the waterfall, but the steaming hot pot on the table looked warm, as if for a celebration. Xie Qin opened a bottle of champagne, which didn't smell of alcohol. Even Xie Ran and Xu Yangyang had a glass.

The people who had not found Xie Qin and the others returned to the base, collected Lu Chaoyun's body, and waited in the open space. The helicopter arrived near dusk.

When crossing the jungle, Xie Qin also heard the noise. He looked up at the familiar helicopter paint and remembered something.

The helicopter carrying zombies to the inland area that she saw three years ago also had this paint scheme. The direction the helicopter was heading was exactly the direction where she killed Lu Chaoyun. Xie Qin narrowed her eyes, as if she knew who had provoked the zombie wave in the inland area.

But now that Lu Chaoyun is dead, it means that the scientific research of the First Base has come to a halt. Even if they have more corpse crystals or mutant crystal cores, they can't cause much trouble.

She was so glad that she had killed Lu Chaoyun. Xie Qin felt happy when she thought about how upset Du Mingxuan must have felt after hearing that Lu Chaoyun had died. It was true that sometimes torturing someone was more satisfying than killing them.

On the other side, a helicopter landed in an open space, and a man in a white coat came down from it. He quickly opened the body bag and cut open Lu Chaoyun's brain. After taking out the brain, he put it in a sealed box. He also took out a chip the size of a fingernail from behind his ear.

After that, he left the broken body there and boarded the helicopter without looking back. The few people who stayed at the first base spoke to the man called Captain Fang.

"There will be more researchers coming later. You guys continue to collect plant cores and mutant cores."

"Okay. Our supplies..."

"Don't worry, you won't be left without any help. They will be delivered to you in a few days."

After the helicopter left, Fang Luo looked at the bodies on the ground, then waved to the people behind him.

"Find a place to bury it."

In the next few days, Xie Qin eliminated all the mutant plants around the waterfall and harvested forty second-level crystal cores. After moving the camp further north, he found that the vegetation had become sparser and was slowly shrinking.

Xie Qin knew that they were close to the edge of the primeval forest. After marking the route on the map, they found that they had only walked through less than a quarter of the jungle. The two sides of the south, the east and the west were all new. With sufficient supplies and good spirits from her teammates, Xie Qin planned to stay.

Turn west and continue into the jungle from the west. But this time, as soon as I entered the jungle, I heard some movement, mixed with gunshots and the voices of well-trained commanders.

Xie Qin knew it must be the group of people from the Central Military District. She wanted to bypass them, but she didn't expect that the scouts of the military district had already discovered their presence.

In fact, Xie Qin was still very far away from them, just within the reach of his mental power. However, he did not expect that the two scouts were also psychics, both at level three.

With professional training, they moved towards them after finding something wrong, and soon sensed Xie Qin and his group. After reporting to the superior, a group of people quickly resolved the battle and headed towards Xie Qin and his group.
