End of the World Cycle

The next morning, at just eight o'clock, Xie Qin had just gotten up in a daze and was sitting at the dining table eating breakfast. Just as he put the delicious wontons into his mouth, the doorbell rang.

Zhang Mingfang, who had finished her meal and was doing yoga, stood up first.

"You eat, I'll go open it."

Zhang Mingfang picked up a towel beside her, gently wiped the sweat off her face, put the towel around her neck, and slowly walked to the door.

When the door opened, it turned out to be someone Zhang Mingfang had never seen before.

"you are?"

"You... hello. I... I'm Guo Dongkang, I'm here to see the base commander." Guo Dongkang couldn't help but shake his pupils when he saw the person in front of him, and he couldn't speak clearly for a moment.

The person in front of me looked to be around thirty years old, and must have just finished exercising, as her clear and fair cheeks were flushed with pink.

The delicate features made me feel comfortable. With a high ponytail, the pretty face caught my eyes.

Although she is not tall, only reaching her chest, she is probably only 1.55 meters tall, but her figure is extremely well wrapped in yoga clothes. She is slightly fat, but her waist is very thin, and she looks exquisite.

The heat rising from my sweating body slowly rushed into my nostrils, with a faint floral scent. I couldn't tell what flower it was, but it just smelled good.

"Then wait a moment, come in and sit in the flower hall. Qinqin is still having breakfast." Zhang Mingfang invited him in with a smile and motioned Guo Dongkang to sit in the flower hall at the entrance.

He turned around and went to the restaurant to pour tea, and told Xie Qin who the visitor was.

Guo Dongkang stared at Zhang Mingfang's back in a trance. Her looks, figure, even the way she walked and the voice of her voice were all the types he liked.

Guo Dongkang was not unmarried. When he was in his twenties, he was forced to marry by his family. He married twice, both for family relationships. The partners of his arranged marriages were all daughters of large corporations, all of whom were playboys. They divorced within two years of marriage. There was no love between them, so they didn't have children. As a result, he is now 33 years old and still a single man.

His family was never in a hurry for him to have children. After all, at that time, technology was advanced and he could have children whenever he wanted. In addition, his father had seven or eight illegitimate children, and those illegitimate children also had many children for the family, so he was naturally not in a hurry to have children.

He has never had any feelings for those pure and lovely beautiful girls. On the contrary, because he lacked maternal love since childhood, he was extremely obsessed with those charming young women with big breasts and fat buttocks.

But he doesn't like all young women. He likes women with pretty looks and fair complexions, women who are like a pool of clear water, neither enchanting nor beautiful.

The attraction of the woman in front of him was indescribable. Even after her figure disappeared from his sight, Guo Dongkang still stared blankly in the direction of Zhang Mingfang.

Zhang Mingfang, who was pouring water on the other side, had no idea that she had just stirred up a stir among others. While pouring water, she was still telling Xie Qin to drink milk.

"Who is this person?"

"He's from the 86th floor. He's going to Kyoto with me later."

"Are you going out again?" Zhang Mingfang focused on the fact that her daughter was going out again. She walked to the dining table and held up Xie Qin's little face.

Look at you, you've only been out for a few days, and your face has become dull. Xie Qin was speechless. Ever since her mother became obsessed with skin care, she had become her primary object of observation.

But then again, seeing my mother from such a close distance, I feel that she has changed a lot. After nearly ten months of exercise and maintenance, I can see that my mother is getting younger and younger.

Especially after Xie Qin saw many people outside who became sallow due to malnutrition, he felt that his mother was more beautiful.

Xie Qin arrived at the flower hall first. Guo Dongkang had been sitting and waiting for a while. When he saw Xie Qin, he stood up excitedly. Before he could speak, Xie Qin smiled knowingly.

"Base Commander, I'm already at level three."

"Yeah. So just to come over and tell me this?"

"No, it's not. It's about the arsenal. I only know the approximate locations of four arsenals. Although two of them are in the mountains, they have been flooded. I don't know how many are still usable. Although the other two also belong to the Eastern Military District arsenal, they are inland. It is not clear whether you can enter the inland freely now."

"So what you mean is, we should go find the two that were flooded first?"

"Yes, if it is a sealed weapon, it should still be usable. But if it is not sealed, it will probably be useless after being soaked in water for half a year."

"Where's the nearest one?"

"It's in the back mountain of the former military garrison in Jianglan City. I've been there before, and the warehouse is relatively low. I calculated last night that the entire warehouse has been flooded. We can go there first to see if the situation is good, then we can go to another warehouse farther away to see if the situation is not good, we can only go inland."

"Okay. Go find Miao Zhe first and plan the specific route to Jianglan City. We'll set off early tomorrow morning."

"Okay, base commander."

As soon as the two finished their conversation, Zhang Mingfang came over with tea.

"Drink some herbal tea to cool off."

Upon hearing Zhang Mingfang's voice, Guo Dongkang looked up instantly. Zhang Mingfang had changed her clothes. She was wearing a crescent-white silk home suit and her hair was pinned behind her head. The blush on her face after exercise had faded, and her complexion was clear and white. She looked intellectual and beautiful.

"Thank you." Guo Dongkang stared at Zhang Mingfang and said thank you. He never wanted to look away. Zhang Mingfang didn't notice and handed another cup to her daughter.

After drinking the herbal tea, Xie Qin felt that the one made by her mother was better than the one she bought in her space, so she thought about bringing some more when she went out.

"Mom. Please make more of this herbal tea. I have to go out tomorrow."

"Are you leaving tomorrow? Are you in such a hurry? Where's your food? Is there anything you want to eat? Mom has prepared it for you to take with you. Don't always eat instant food, it's not as healthy as what Mom makes."

"Okay. Just make whatever you want and pack it into lunch boxes. Make a few extra portions. I plan to take a few more people out this time."

"Ah."

When Guo Dongkang heard Xie Qin calling her "Mom", his heart stopped for a moment. This was Xie Qin's mother, and he thought she was a relative. After all, Zhang Mingfang didn't look like she had such a big daughter.

As soon as he heard Xie Qin calling her "Mom", Guo Dongkang knew that he had no hope. But if you look closely, the mother and daughter do look alike, except that Xie Qin's facial features are more delicate and three-dimensional, and she looks brighter. She is the type that looks like a little beauty at first glance.

Guo Dongkang withdrew his gaze, fearing that Xie Qin would notice something. It was not easy for his relationship with Xie Qin to develop in a good direction, and he did not want to give up such a thick thigh.

It’s not that he hadn’t thought about living with his grandfather in the base of the Eastern Military District, but he hated being arranged, hated being obedient, and even more hated being on friendly terms with those illegitimate children.

He felt sick just by looking at his father and those women, not to mention living in the same base. This was why he chose to stay here when they evacuated.

After being reborn, he wanted to live, but he wanted to live according to his own ideas even more.

After Guo Dongkang left, Xie Qin changed into a sports suit and went to the base training ground. The training ground was on the fifteenth floor and was connected by five suites. Due to the lack of hot weapons, there was only space for practicing crossbows and fighting.

Liang Pengfei usually teaches other people in the base here. The base stipulates that Liang Pengfei's teaching time is from 9 to 11 in the morning and from 3 to 5 in the afternoon every day.

No matter whether you are male or female, young or old, as long as you are willing to learn, you can come.

There are only about 30 people in the base now, including the Shui family who just arrived yesterday, so there were not many people when Xie Qin arrived at nine o'clock. Xu Yangyang came every day without fail. Zhang Mingfang said that the little girl is now very powerful and can fight Yang Yuan, who is a speed-type, without using superpowers.

His small body was extremely flexible, and with the help of his supernatural powers, his fighting power was no less than that of an adult man.

Xie Qin met Pan Zhenjun and Xia Xing at the training ground. She had no impression of these two people, and she stayed at the base only because Pan Zhenjun and Guo Dongkang were childhood friends.

The two grew up together, and even bought houses on the upper and lower floors when they became adults. Their elders were also together. Pan Zhenjun's grandfather was the chief of staff of the Eastern Military Region. Since Guo Dongkang was reborn, he urged his childhood friend to stock up on supplies and stay in Dongyue City.

Pan Zhenjun is now a second-level lightning-type mutant. He is taller than Guo Dongkang, about 185cm tall. He is muscular and must be a soldier. Xia Xing on the side is different.

She looked like a college student, fair-skinned and tender. It was obvious that she had never suffered much. She was very good-looking, but not the kind of handsome that a straight man would have. Instead, she was handsome with a hint of beauty. Without having to guess too much, Xie Qin could tell that they were a couple.

The two people were practicing against each other in the open space near the window. Every move was Liang Pengfei's style, while Xu Yangyang was practicing strength and whip kicks on a sandbag alone.

Yang Yuan was not on duty and was working out alone. In the teaching area, the Shui family appeared. Except for the two brothers Shui Limu who were sent out to work, the whole family was in class.

The only two-year-old Shui Rui was left lying on a mat nearby, staring blankly at his family members who were taking the basic class.

When Liang Pengfei saw Xie Qin coming, he called Xu Yangyang over and asked Xu Yangyang to lead the Shui family in basic boxing exercises, while he walked towards Xie Qin.

"Thank you for your hard work, Master."

"It's not hard. I feel fulfilled now. Fortunately, I listened to you and stayed." Liang Pengfei raised his hand and patted Xie Qin's shoulder gratefully.

After Miao Zhe came back yesterday, they had dinner together in the cafeteria and asked about the official base. Miao Zhe directly took out the video he had recorded and described the situation of the official base in vivid detail. Several people frowned and rejoiced.

Even Lan Yining didn't want to send his grandson to the official base in Kyoto to find his parents.

The living environment is so bad, the huge warehouse is full of people. Even though there is air conditioning, it is obviously stuffy because there are too many people living there. Even through the screen, people seem to be able to smell the stench.

You know, water is more expensive than gold nowadays. Their water tanks are always full. Although no one knows what methods the base commander uses to ensure that they do not lack water, they have never lacked water for drinking and use every day.

After learning that each person at the base outside could only receive 1,000 milliliters of water per day, they realized how good the place they were in was.

"Master, can you practice with me? I've been so busy lately that I haven't been active for a few days."

"Okay. By the way, you left those people at the official base. What if they come back on their own?"

"It's their own merit that they can come back, but they will no longer have the identity of original residents. They can only rely on their own efforts to eat and live well like the Shui family." Xie Qin said as he began to put on protective gear.

"What if they try to move into the previous house by force?" Liang Pengfei asked as he helped Xie Qin put on protective gear.

"Don't worry, they can't go anywhere in the base without my permission. I'm not a soft-hearted person." Xie Qin replied with a chuckle.

She doesn't mind making an example of someone to scare the others, and she will take a one-size-fits-all approach to any trouble. If anyone violates the rules of her base, there is only one outcome, and that is death.

The two had not fought for a few rounds when Miao Zhe ran in with a radio in his hand.

"Boss! Boss! Something happened! Something happened!"

When everyone in the venue heard Miu Zhe Miu Zhe’s shout, they all stopped and looked over here.

"What's wrong?" Although Miao Zhe was not very stable, he had never been so panicked. When he shouted that something was wrong, Xie Qin had a bad feeling.

"The zombie virus broke out in all 28 official bases in the inland at the same time!"

"What? How could this happen?"

"listen!"

Miao Zhe lifted up the radio. People gathered around him.

(Emergency notice: Zombie virus broke out in 28 official bases in our country at o'clock this morning. Due to the high population density, it cannot be eliminated in a short time. Please stop going to the official bases and go to the nearest temporary rescue station to wait for news. Emergency notice: ……)

All the channels on the radio were playing this sentence in a loop. At the same time, a zombie virus broke out in such a densely populated area. This would mean catastrophic destruction for humanity.

Due to the national control, there is no zombie virus in the inland area. The country has established a solid defense line and surrounded the zombies in the coastal areas. Even when there is an extreme water shortage, no one is allowed to enter or leave the defense line.

How could a zombie virus break out? Suddenly Xie Qin seemed to remember something. The helicopter he saw some time ago was transporting zombies to the inland.

This zombie virus outbreak is man-made. But why? It is the zombies that make humans extinct. No matter who they are, good or bad, they should aim to eliminate the zombies. Why? Why did the zombie outbreak happen?

Xie Qin was stunned. She wanted to know the reason, but she couldn't figure it out.
