End of the World Cycle

After waiting for a long time, Ning Cheng showed no sign of waking up. She was sure that at least ten hours had passed. According to the time they came in, it must be dark now, but it was still bright in this space.

Xie Qin walked out of the door and looked at the sky. It was a vast expanse of white space. There was light, but it was not sunlight. However, the lush grass told her that the plants in this place could carry out photosynthesis.

Standing at the door, his mental power began to radiate outward and spread to the surroundings. Xie Qin wanted to try to sense what specific things were around him, but the result was that this place had no boundaries. However, Xie Qin found an obstacle to the east of himself.

The distance was not far, about two hundred meters. I walked into the room and saw Ning Cheng was still lying there.

"Go and have a look."

Shui Liqing, who was sitting on the stool next to him in a daze, heard that Xie Qin was going to see something again, so he immediately stood up and followed Xie Qin.

When they arrived at the place, Xie Qin was stunned by everything he saw.

It was like an open-air shopping mall, with shelves filled with supplies, ranging from refrigerators and color TVs to toothpicks and cotton swabs. These were not ordinary goods, but high-end products before the end of the world.

There was a row of display cabinets that were almost fifty meters long and three meters high. Each cabinet had six layers, and each layer was filled with exquisite dishes. Xie Qin recognized it and found it to be the same as the one Ning Cheng had given her before.

Gasoline barrels were piled up like a mountain, and the flat area was as big as five of their building's parking lot, filled with all kinds of cars, even tanks.

There were 20 helicopters in the farthest row. Everything Xie Qin could think of was here, and even more than Xie Qin could think of was here. It was so spectacular. The supplies here, looking around, at least an area the size of a small town, were all filled with supplies.

Now she understood what the configuration of a novel protagonist was. This did not include the things Ning Cheng could buy with her own system. Just the supplies she prepared herself were already so amazing.

Ning Cheng had a lot of capital to build the most powerful base after the apocalypse, plus Jiang Shan's weapons support. Xie Qin knew that she couldn't compare with them.

Xie Qin was not interested in known things, nor did she intend to take anything. However, at this moment she knew very well that she could not be an enemy of Ning Cheng. Whether she did not think she was a bad person or she was just too strong, she could not take Ning Cheng as a target of plunder.

She can only choose to cooperate with such a person who has the aura of a protagonist and strong personal ability.

[Master, Ning Cheng has woken up and is activating the system to look for you.]

【found it? 】

[Of course, her system is very powerful. In her space, your every move is in Ning Cheng's eyes. She is observing you now.]

Xie Qin frowned, took Shui Liqing's hand, and walked directly across the supply area in another direction. There were medicines there, and after walking around for several times, he only found medicine for vertigo, but Xie Qin still took it.

Then he took two bottles of water and a gas stove from the food area and left the place, walking in the opposite direction.

Ning Cheng, who had just woken up, didn't show any greed when she saw Xie Qin find so many supplies. She only took the medicine and water and couldn't help but smile. Of course, she could see that these were definitely for her.

Ning Cheng woke up and changed the special medicine in the system. He was fine after taking it. He wanted to go directly to find Xie Qin, but found that Xie Qin and the others were walking towards the house, so he half leaned on the bed to rest.

Xie Qin opened the door and saw Ning Cheng awake. She showed joy on her face and ran to Ning Cheng's side.

"Sister Ning, are you awake? Are you feeling better? Are you still feeling bad? I was scared to death."

"It's okay, I'm fine now. Where did you go?"

"We were looking for an exit, and we found a lot of supplies. I found some medicine, and I wanted to boil some water for you."

"Silly boy, this is medicine for vertigo. It won't work on me."

"I... I don't understand this. Sister, do you want some water?"

"Yeah." Ning Cheng nodded gently.

Xie Qin smiled sweetly, and in Ning Cheng's eyes, she felt happy just because she woke up, and it was worth it that he took the risk to bring them both in at the most critical moment.

She knew very well that it was at least a fourth-order strangling mental force. As far as she knew, there had never been such a person or zombie before.

Although she advanced the plot in order to complete the system's tasks, in the world she knew, it was absolutely impossible for a fourth-level mutant to appear at this time.

There was only one possibility, that was a mutated zombie king. Ning Cheng became excited when he thought of this. If he could hunt down that fourth-order psychic zombie king and eat its corpse crystal, his own abilities would surely have a qualitative leap. Maybe he could even be upgraded to the fourth order before the natural disaster after the cold wave.

After a while of fantasizing, Xie Qin had already boiled the water.

"Sister, do you have a cup?"

"Yeah." Ning Cheng raised his hand, and two glasses appeared in his hand.

Of course Xie Qin knew that she wanted him to pour her a glass as well. While they were both drinking, Xie Qin spoke.

"Sister, where is this place? Are we...are we dead?"

"What are you thinking about? This is my space. The situation was critical just now, so I had to bring you all in."

"Can we still go out then?"

"Of course. You figured it out?"

"Yeah. I... I miss my grandmother." Xie Qin nodded obediently.

"Don't worry, it's too dangerous outside. Let me observe for a while." After saying that, Ning Cheng released a specially made drone. Then the tablet in Ning Cheng's hand showed the outside scene.

It was pitch black. It was dark outside. Only the area illuminated by the drone's light was white. The night vision device only saw a few zombies that had emerged from the snow during the day wandering around. The detection of mental power also showed no fluctuations. The drone flew nearly a kilometer in the wind and snow before returning to space.

Xie Qin took a closer look at the drone. It was made of similar material to the reconnaissance and attack drone he got from a side quest in his base. It looked very familiar. It should be a reconnaissance drone. He also had one in his system mall, but he had never changed it. To this day, he didn't know that this thing also had the function of detecting mental power.

"It's safe outside, let's go out. I don't have any extra rooms prepared in here, so we can go out and rest."

Xie Qin was still a little uneasy about the unknown situation, and held Shui Liqing's hand tightly. Shui Liqing seemed to feel Xie Qin's emotional fluctuations, and naturally hugged Xie Qin into his arms.

Ning Cheng looked at Xie Qin who was so timid and spoke to comfort her.

"It's just a matter of a second. There's no danger. If you're scared, just close your eyes."

"Okay, thank you, sister. I understand." Xie Qin closed her eyes obediently.

As her body lost weight, she immediately felt the biting cold wind blowing around her. The wind and snow hit the little bit of skin that was exposed. Xie Qin couldn't help but shrink a little. She knew that the effect of the stabilizing spray had expired.

Shui Liqing wrapped Xie Qin's head with clothes.

"We walked to the top of the mountain, but we couldn't get the RV out here."

"Ah."

Ning Cheng walked in front, with the bright lights illuminating the road, and he could only see the area in front of him. It was so cold, and the top of the mountain was still so far away, Shui Liqing gradually slowed down and gradually distanced himself from Ning Cheng.

When Ning Cheng found Shui Liqing falling behind, Shui Liqing was already about thirty meters away from her. It was still a slope. Ning Cheng stopped and waited for them.

Xie Qin felt that this distance was just right. As a strong wind blew, Xie Qin's mental power was even more violent this time. It did not attack Ning Cheng's brain, but suppressed everything around him. When Ning Cheng realized something was wrong, Shui Liqing had already rolled down the hillside holding Xie Qin.

There was no time to save them. After hesitating for only half a second, Ning Cheng was still forced into the space. But this time Ning Cheng did not faint. The system quickly began to search for the source of mental power around him.

The result was that she found nothing. But she didn't dare to risk going out, so she had to ask the system to help her find Xie Qin and Shui Liqing, but she found nothing either.

Xie Qin and Shui Liqing, who had rolled down the hillside smoothly, had already taken advantage of the night and walked towards the arsenal they were going to. Poor Ning Cheng bit her hand anxiously, thinking that the so-called spiritual zombie king had captured them.

She blamed herself, always thinking that she was the one who brought them north and encountered danger. If the little girl named Guo Qinling had not followed her, she might still be living well with her brother in the previous place.

Ning Cheng stayed there for more than ten days, searching for Xie Qin's whereabouts inch by inch, but she could not find her alive or dead. In the end, she had no choice but to complete the system task and could not waste any more time.

In her previous life, a reborn person who appeared out of nowhere destroyed the side quest of her first base, causing all the subsequent main quests to go haywire.

The original male protagonist Jiang Shan also died at the hands of a fourth-order zombie king due to the butterfly effect, which led to the failure of his strategy mission and he was wiped out by the system.

As a result, the soul was drawn into the cracks of time and space again, and returned to the world before the end of the world. After looking at the mission again and again, he was ready to start over again, but the country's actions disrupted all his plans. After slowly investigating, he found that in this life, the number of reborn people in this world is not just a few.

Now, the original book's plot has been completely messed up. There is no other way but to sort out all the tasks, regardless of the plot, just thinking about completing the tasks one by one, and then attacking Jiangshan in the end to see if I can succeed.

If you can't succeed, you can only wait for death.

Xie Qin, the butterfly that flapped its wings, had already looted the largest military supply depot and was already at the jade warehouse in Jiuzhou City.

Jiuzhou City not only has a jade warehouse, but the Shui family also has a private exhibition hall here. Although Shui Zicheng didn't say it, Shui Liqing took himself there directly.

The private exhibition hall is in Jiuzhou Building. Jiuzhou Building is similar to Mingzhu Building in our base. It is a landmark building in Jiuzhou City, but it is not in the city center.

The number of floors is not high, all of them are commercial and for viewing. The Shui family's private exhibition hall is like a collection of museums for visitors. It is on the 11th to 13th floors of the building. There are three floors in total, but they are not open to the public.

After entering, there were all finished large jade ornaments. Some were even measured by tons, and they were all jades of excellent quality. Xie Qin didn't choose, and just took them all at once. As a result, the points exchanged for the things in this exhibition hall were more than those in the two warehouses he had collected before.

The experience points instantly exceeded half. Xie Qin's eyes lit up.

"Do you have such a place in your house?"

"Huh~" Shui Liqing shook his head.

"Okay. Let's go to the next place." Xie Qin sighed politely.

Shui Zicheng, who was far away at the base, was stunned when he saw the base points on his phone rising continuously. Apart from other things, the points on his card alone were enough to buy the permanent use rights of a house above the 81st floor of the base building, and then bring a whole family to live in the base without worrying about food and drink, without having to do anything.

Before the end of the world, the wealth of their Shui family was unimaginable, but with the advent of the end of the world, all that wealth turned into cold stones and numbers, and paper that was too hard to wipe one's butt with.

And now, the points in his ID card are enough to ensure that his family can live well, so he certainly feels that it is precious.

It took Xie Qin and Shui Liqing nearly twenty days to clean out all the jade warehouses of the Shui family. The last military supply warehouse was almost unusable because it had been soaked in water for half a year and the waterproof layer was not well built.

But Xie Qin still put it into the space to see if it could be repaired.

The experience bar is still a quarter away. With so few people in the base now, the main quest cannot be triggered at all. All the side quests have been completed, and there is no other place to gain experience.

The only way now is to increase the population, or start mining.

But there was still a month before the cold wave was over, and neither of these two methods could be used during this month. Xie Qin had no choice but to return to the base.

However, the two things that Xie Qin brought back to the base this time may become a symbol of the development of their base.

Ning Cheng, on the other hand, suddenly found that the corpse crystals of the zombies she soaked later were useless to her. She thought about the possibility countless times, and even doubted the omnipotent system, but she never attributed the cause to Xie Qin.

Who would have thought that the seemingly harmless and well-behaved little girl could have her spiritual spring drained out and replaced with ordinary water?

After returning to the base, Xie Qin's eyes lit up again. In this month, the construction of the base had reached a new level, and the originally planned areas had already started to operate.

The residents are evenly distributed in various settlements, and two commercial streets have been opened up. Although the population is small and it is not very lively, it is obvious that even in the temperature of minus 30 degrees Celsius in the protective shield, the streets are crowded with people.
