End of the World Cycle

It was already evening when they left the Lake City Base. Seeing that it was already half past six, Xie Qin was no longer in a hurry. The road to Jiangqiong City had been opened up when they came here, and the road conditions were very good. Guo Dongkang wanted to drive at night, but Xie Qin refused.

It took only seven hours to get here during the day, even if they drove along the road at the same time. At this speed, if they insisted on driving, they would probably reach Jiangqiong City in three hours.

But going to the zombie territory at night is undoubtedly for excitement. She doesn't care, because the fourth-level zombie king can't do anything to her. But with these two people, there is no guarantee that something unexpected will happen. She doesn't want the cattle and horses she just chose to die like this.

The car stopped at a national highway about ten kilometers away from Jiangqiong City. The surroundings were dilapidated but very open, with a dozen collapsed houses in the distance.

Xie Qin looked around and found a zombie cluster in a small town only three kilometers away. There were dozens of zombies scattered in a small village one kilometer away, but the rest were safe.

The lights were on in the RV and it was very quiet around. The only sound was the sound of the air conditioner. Three people were sitting at the table eating. Dinner was a box lunch that Xie Qin took out from the space. The two men ate it with big mouthfuls. It tasted very good, but Xie Qin didn't have much appetite.

After taking a few bites and drinking a cup of milk tea, Guo Dongkang looked at Xie Qin. He didn't crave milk tea, so he asked a question.

"Is there any coffee?"

"Do you want instant coffee?" Xie Qin was not used to bitter things, after all, it was a little girl's appetite, but she did get a lot of instant coffee when she was collecting supplies in the supermarket.

"can."

Xie Qin directly took out a box of instant coffee, which was a very cheap coffee before the end of the world. Guo Dongkang would not even look at it before, but after the end of the world, there would be no good things. He opened the box, took out a small box, and went to the stove next to him to boil water.

"Aren't you afraid you won't be able to sleep?"

"Not keeping watch? We are in the wild."

"No, get some rest. We'll set out at daybreak tomorrow and try to finish it before eight o'clock."

"Are you sure it's safe?"

"Sure." Xie Qin nodded. You know, she spent a huge amount of money to buy a level 3 small security defense system, which was covered around the RV.

Not to mention ordinary zombies, even if level three zombies came, they might not be able to get around the RV.

"Clean up, I'm going to sleep." Xie Qin didn't say much. He climbed onto the bed in three steps with a cup of ice-cold milk tea in his hand and closed the soundproofing panel.

The remaining two people looked at each other, and finally it was Miao Zhe who cleaned up the garbage, took a shower, and went to the double bed at the back of the RV. It was obvious that the two of them were going to sleep together today.

Guo Dongkang was worried and had no plan to sleep. It was already dawning and the sky would be white at five o'clock, so he wouldn't be able to sleep for a few hours.

After making coffee, I got in the driver's seat, ready to leave at any time if there was any danger. After drinking coffee, I was still energetic in the first half of the night.

At about two o'clock, Guo Dongkang was a little dazed, probably because he accidentally closed his eyes for a while. There began to be faint rustling sounds around him, and he didn't open his eyes until those shadows approached Guo Dongkang.

Guo Dongkang turned on the headlights and shone them forward. The front was full of zombies. He was so scared that his blood rushed back and he banged his head loudly, where Xie Qin was sleeping. But there was no response for a long time, which showed how good the sound insulation was in the place where Xie Qin was sleeping.

He turned around and looked at Miao Zhe who was sleeping soundly at the rear of the car. He shook him a few times and Miao Zhe woke up.

"What...what happened?"

"Zombies, zombies are coming. We are surrounded."

"Ah?" Miao Zhe rubbed his eyes and looked through the living room window at the place in front of him that was illuminated by the light. Instantly, Miao Zhe discovered the problem.

There was clearly no obstruction in front of these zombies, but they were blocked outside the air wall. It was as if there was an invisible protective shield that covered the RV for nearly a hundred meters.

Now Guo Dongkang seemed to have discovered it as well.

"What's wrong with these zombies? Why can't they get through?"

"The boss told you to sleep, so don't make such a fuss." After saying that, Miao Zhe fell headfirst onto the soft pillow and fell asleep in seconds.

Miao Zhe had been with Xie Qin for quite some time, and he didn't think anything strange happened to Xie Qin. On the contrary, Guo Dongkang was stunned.

He knew that Xie Qin was very strong, but that was limited to her own supernatural powers. However, this was the first time he had seen such a situation. This was definitely not a supernatural power. How many other abilities did this girl have that he didn't know about?

Even though he knew it was safe now, Guo Dongkang still couldn't sleep. He was very curious, curious about the air wall, thinking that he would not be infected with the zombie virus now. Finally, curiosity overcame everything and he took a flashlight and got out of the car.

As soon as he got out of the car, a wave of heat hit him and he was sweating in just two minutes. After getting out of the car, Guo Dongkang realized that he couldn't even hear the sounds of the zombies.

This air barrier can not only block danger, but also sound. With previous experience in hunting zombies, Guo Dongkang has no fear of ordinary zombies. On the contrary, he will be a little excited if there are not many zombies.

Just now, when I saw so many zombies densely packed together, I was distracted and panicked for a moment, but now that I’m used to it, I think it’s nothing and instead walked towards the place where there are the most zombies.

Half a meter away from the zombies, Guo Dongkang was looking at the invisible air wall with a flashlight. It was no different from the surrounding area. If the zombies had not been stopped there and were flapping their hands desperately, Guo Dongkang would not even know where the air wall was.

After making sure that the zombies couldn't get in, Guo Dongkang took two steps forward to try the air wall. When he stretched his hand forward, there was nothing blocking him. As soon as he stretched out his hand, the zombies smelled the human flesh and bit Guo Dongkang's hand at a very fast speed.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and rolled back to the safe zone. Guo Dongkang was no longer curious, and it was already past three o'clock when he returned to the car. Perhaps he felt absolutely safe, Guo Dongkang actually fell asleep leaning on a chair in the living room.

At five o'clock, Xie Qin was awakened by the alarm clock on time. He yawned and pulled open the soundproof panel. He saw Guo Dongkang sleeping on the chair at a glance. He knocked on the table, and Guo Dongkang opened his eyes in a daze.

"Are you awake? Are you ready to go?"

"Don't worry, have breakfast first. Aren't you two allowed to sleep in the bed?"

"I'm not used to sleeping with other people."

"Pretentious, do you want me to get you another RV?"

"No, no thanks."

"Then you can put down this table top next time, and it can also be a bed."

"it is good."

Xie Qin went into the bathroom to take a shower. When she came out, Miao Zhe had also woken up. Both of them were making coffee on the stove. It was obvious that they did not get enough sleep.

After drinking coffee, she felt refreshed. Xie Qin took two baskets of steamed buns made by her mother, three bowls of porridge, and some dried radish. Zhang Mingfang did all these when she had nothing else to do, just to make it convenient for Xie Qin to have hot meals at any time.

It was really convenient. It was only 5:30 when they set off after eating. The RV swung its tail and ran over the scattered zombies on the road and headed towards Jiangqiong City. The zombies that had surrounded them all night also followed the sound and headed in that direction.

You can see a huge heavy truck RV speeding on the winding road, followed by a large group of zombies.

Gradually, the zombies following behind were thrown away, and the closer they got to Jiangqiong City, the quieter it became. The car stopped on the highway where they first scouted the spot, and the three of them got out and changed to a lighter off-road vehicle. Guo Dongkang was still driving, and Miao Zhe sat in the passenger seat and fiddled with the tablet. After a while, the stereo navigation appeared on the tablet. After Miao Zhe set it up, Guo Dongkang set off directly.

Xie Qin sat in the back, seemingly resting with his eyes closed. In fact, Xie Qin's mental power had already reached the city, searching for the location of the zombie king.

The zombie king seemed to sense Xie Qin's presence, and blocked Xie Qin's mental capture twice. When he found that he couldn't escape, he began to change his position constantly, trying to hide himself. Finally, he disappeared in the eastern suburbs of the city.

Xie Qin opened his eyes, rubbed his temples tiredly, took out a capsule from his pocket and threw it into his mouth to replenish his supernatural powers. It took him two or three minutes to recover.

"Go directly to the eastern suburbs of the city."

After listening to Xie Qin's words, Guo Dongkang headed towards the east of the city. The further he went, the more strange it seemed to the two people in front of him. They didn't encounter a single zombie along the way. They didn't encounter a single person either.

The whole city was like a ghost town, with buildings that had been soaked in water and peeled off by the sun, looking very desolate. The further we drove into the city, the more nervous we felt.

"Boss, it seems different here."

"Miao Zhe, find the location of this city's treasure house."

"Boss, I found it a long time ago. It's on the third floor below ground in Chengjiang Building in the city center. But it's not as big as Treasure House No. 1. It's just the vault of their Municipal Bank."

"Yeah, that's good. Let's go there first."

"Not going to Dongjiao again?" Guo Dongkang frowned. This girl always has a different idea every now and then.

"The thing is lost, let's do other things first." Xie Qin didn't want to explain too much, so he replied with this sentence.

The car finally saw zombies as it headed toward the city center. Tens of thousands of zombies gathered in the commercial square in the city center. Not only the square, but also the surrounding open spaces were filled with zombies. Even the arrival of Xie Qin and the others did not attract the attention of these zombies.

All of these zombies were facing the same direction with their gray eyes wide open, not moving.

"What's wrong with these zombies?" Miao Zhe asked while looking at these strange zombies.

"It's under control. There is a mental zombie king here." Xie Qin replied calmly.

"Zombie King? Is that the kind of zombie king you mentioned in the email?" Guo Dongkang was a little excited.

"Yeah. I found out on the way to Lake City Base. It was difficult to move with other people at that time, so I came here now."

"What level is this zombie king?"

"Level 4."

"Level 4!! Then can its corpse crystal directly allow a Level 2 Psychic to upgrade to Level 3?"

"You want to become stronger so much?"

"Of course! I think only if I become stronger I won't die so early."

"You won't die early if you stay in a safe zone."

"That's different. Compared to death, I may prefer to become stronger. Dominating something by myself is the most attractive thing. I have one condition. Give me this zombie crystal."

"I can't give you the Corpse Crystal, but I can give you something with a similar effect."

"what?"

"Level 4 capsule. But what do you want to exchange with me?"

"I can see your ambition. I think we can join forces and build the strongest base."

"I want to build the strongest base, but it doesn't necessarily have to be with you. There are many strong people in this world."

"I know the location of the national arsenal in almost every province. I think that to build a strong base, you will need a batch of handy weapons."

"Army supply depot?" Xie Qin's heart was moved. Hearing this, Xie Qin raised his eyes and looked at Miao Zhe as if asking Miao Zhe. Then Miao Zhe understood Xie Qin's eyes and shook his head helplessly.

When Miao Zhe shook his head, he was telling Xie Qin that the location of the national arsenal could not be found by a hacker.

"Deal, but you have to wait until I actually get the weapon. I will upgrade it to level three for you."

"make a deal!"

Xie Qin took out two submachine guns and two boxes of bullets and gave them to the two men. He took out a long knife. To be honest, a knife is more useful for chopping zombies. Sometimes a zombie will still move even if you shoot it in the head, but if you chop off its head with a knife, the zombie will fall to the ground like a petrified corpse.

So basically, whenever he could use a knife, Xie Qin would always have a long knife in his hand.

After the three people got off the car, the SUV was retracted. The zombies seemed to still not see them and looked in the original direction.

"Boss, what should we do?"

"Go around."

Fortunately, Chengjiang Building was just behind the main street. Xie Qin took a look at the map and prepared to pass through the street view alley next to the commercial street.

Xie Qin walked in front with a knife in hand, and two people followed behind, facing the back to defend. Hearing the sound of a knife cutting something, Guo Dongkang turned around and saw a lean figure holding a big knife, easily and neatly separating the heads of the zombies blocking the way.

The girl was very skilled, her steps were as light as a nimble cat, and she waved her sharp claws to tear open the road full of zombies.

For a moment, Guo Dongkang even felt that even if the girl in front of him did not have special powers, he might not be her opponent.

It was safe at the back until the downstairs of Chengjiang Building, and the two men had no chance to attack from behind. When Guo Dongkang looked at Xie Qin again at the location, he felt even more terrified.

The whole street was clearly covered in blood, and the zombie heads also sprayed black blood when they left their bodies. But Xie Qin's body was clean, with only some unavoidable stains on the soles of her shoes. This woman was so scary.

This was the only thought in Guo Dongkang's mind when he met Xie Qin's bright eyes.
