End of the World Cycle

The next day, Xie Qin went out before dawn and contacted Xiang Sixing to meet him.

As soon as they met, Xiang Sixing gave Xie Qin two capsules.

"What is this?"

"Pei Yang, my love, the sixth-level capsule made with the data and materials I gave him may not be as good as the one exchanged by the system, but it is much better than the fifth-level capsule."

"Has it been tested?"

He nodded and shook his head to Si Xing.

"We've done the experiment, I guess. Because this capsule requires a fifth-level zombie crystal core, the entire official has only gotten one so far, and we've made three capsules. We only used one on a fifth-level superpower experimenter, and after confirming that it can greatly enhance superpowers and has no special side effects, we didn't use it again. After all, we don't have the cost of trial and error."

"My system has been upgraded to level eight, and can be exchanged for level five capsules. Is there a big difference between the level five capsules produced by the system and this one?"

"Because my system cannot exchange, I am not sure how big the difference is. But through the data comparison of the big system, this one has 35% more supernatural power value than what you exchanged."

"Okay, I see. So you just said there are no special side effects. So what are the special side effects?"

"Well... after using it, people will become extremely excited. It's not harmful to the body. It just needs to vent out the remaining energy. It lasts for about 6 hours."

"Is that what I understood?" Xie Qin raised his hands in confusion, clasped them together and clapped them.

He nodded awkwardly to Si Xing.

Xie Qin rolled her eyes helplessly, but finally thanked him.

"I have to go back to Wuliang Base. This time, when I went out with Qin Zhang, we found a large number of mutant animals carrying the zombie virus. I have asked someone to bring the data provided by the system and a group of survivors with antibodies to my base to develop a vaccine. There should be results soon. If the vaccine is successfully developed, I would like to cooperate directly with the authorities to speed up the reshuffle plan."

Xiang Sixing did not answer immediately, but looked at Xie Qin in silence for a while, then looked down at his watch, which only showed the time and date. It took a while before he spoke.

"Level 7, wait until all your skills are at level 7."

"Soon, in no more than half a month, I will be able to reach the seventh level." Xie Qin said confidently. Indeed, after integrating with Qin Zhang, she obviously found that her absorption ability has improved a lot.

Coupled with the rewards of some personal attribute enhancements given by the mission, Xie Qin's ability increased greatly. In addition to the fourth- and fifth-level capsules that he exchanged, he would definitely be able to reach the seventh level in half a month at most.

Xie Qin went directly to the meeting point. They had agreed to meet at the meeting point when they left home in the morning. Now there was still half an hour before departure, so Qin Zhang must have already been there first.

Sure enough, when we arrived at the meeting point, several people were already there. A few people nodded and greeted each other, and Qin Zhang strode over and took out a small box of cherries from the side of his backpack.

"When I was eating in the cafeteria at their base this morning, I saw some newly grown cherries, the first crop, and wondered if you would like to try some."

Xie Qin took the cherries. She had not eaten this kind of thing since the end of the world. They were not big, but very red. She opened it and ate a few. They were mostly sour, but Xie Qin did not think they were bad. She finished the whole box for some reason.

The journey back to Pangu Base was not smooth. There were obviously many more mutant animals on the road, especially mutant flies, which were as big as a fist and there were so many of them. As soon as they sensed any movement, they would chase after them in an overwhelming manner.

The sound of flapping wings created a dizzying sound wave. A fly hit the car window. Xie Qin saw clearly that there was something squirming in the fly's mouth. He almost vomited when he looked closely. It seemed to be a maggot parasitic in the fly's mouth.

The antennae on the forelimbs are sharply serrated, the originally large pair of eyes have turned grayish white, and the belly of each fly is particularly large.

A few flies were still flying and dropping white eggs. The white eggs were the size of a knuckle and stuck to the ground. At this time, a group of flies also flew over from the front, blocking the view and forcing the convoy to stop.

In just three to five minutes, Xie Qin saw dense fly eggs falling on the ground, and gray-white maggots crawling out. Xie Qin couldn't help it, and quickly took out a trash can from the space and vomited out all the food he had eaten in the morning.

Qin Zhang looked at Xie Qin in pain and felt so distressed. A thin and dense electric current leaked out from the car, and flies were electrocuted and fell to the ground in an instant like rain. The line of sight of about three meters was restored, and the convoy continued to set off.

But the snapping sound made by the car running over maggots and flies was enough to make one's hair stand on end. Thinking of the disgusting maggots being crushed into a paste, Xie Qin felt even worse.

By the time Xie Qin stumbled all the way to the entrance of Pangu Base, she was already exhausted. Her face was pale, her eyes were lifeless, her hair was tied up casually, and she looked listless.

But because she was beautiful, her beauty lost its aggressiveness when she was weak, which made her even more lovable, especially Qin Zhang, who loved Xie Qin to death, and seeing his sweetheart suffering so much, he wanted to drive back and grind those hateful flies to ashes.

Because mutant animals are prevalent during this period, the defense system outside the base has been activated, and the base has been in a fully closed state. The way to get in has also become cumbersome. After the vehicles have been disinfected layer by layer, people get off and then pass through four disinfection channels. After their identities have been verified, they can officially enter the base.

Xie Qin was already in so much pain that he had no energy to do anything else. Qin Zhang handed the report to the deputy captain and held Xie Qin under his arms and lifted him up.

There was no need to compromise or avoid suspicion. After all, Xie Qin's expression was really ugly, and given their relationship, no one thought there was anything wrong.

Xie Qin naturally hooked her arms around Qin Zhang's neck, wrapped her arms around his waist, leaned against the crook of Qin Zhang's neck, released all the strength in her body and let Qin Zhang hold her, and she felt a little more comfortable.

It took only ten minutes to walk back home, but Xie Qin actually fell asleep. When she woke up, she was already lying on the bed in her pajamas. There was no one in the room, and the sun was still shining outside. It was 4:30 in the afternoon, and she had only slept for an hour and a half. She slowly got up and walked to the window. The clothes for both of them were already hung out to dry in the yard.

Qin Zhang was not there, but he felt dry, the air conditioning in the room was at a suitable temperature, and there was his favorite aromatherapy scent. He knew that this person had made all the arrangements for himself before leaving.

He must have wiped his body with a warm towel, lit some aromatherapy, cleaned the house, and washed his clothes. This person is really good at managing his life.

After taking a look at the system tasks, her eyes fell on the main task of helping Qin Zhang improve his abilities. She took out the capsule that Xiang Sixing gave her. To be honest, she didn't want to eat something that hadn't been tested before, but if she gave it to Qin Zhang, she wouldn't hesitate.

He was just afraid that Qin Zhang would reach the seventh level before him, and he felt a little unbalanced. But seeing how good this man was to him and how strong and durable he was, he couldn't let him work in vain, so he had to give him some benefits.

I squeezed the capsule box in my hand and decided to give it to him tonight!
