End of the World Cycle

Xie Qin and the other two were taken to a classroom separately, and the earth-type mutant was watching them personally.

"Where are you from?" the man asked Liu Bo. Seeing this, Xie Qin walked in front of Liu Bo and looked at the man.

"Lijia Town." Xie Qin answered obediently.

"Well, is there anyone alive in your town?" The man didn't care, but after taking a few more glances, he realized that this strong man was not mentally normal.

"I don't know." Xie Qin shook his head. "We didn't meet anyone when we went down the mountain."

“We don’t have a doctor here.”

"Do you have any medicine for fever? We didn't see any pharmacies along the way. Every pharmacy we found was empty."

The man was stunned for a moment. Almost all the drug stores, supermarkets and food stores in the city had been emptied by them, so naturally they couldn't find anything.

"Your father has super powers?"

"I don't know, it's just that the night was very long and Dad fainted. When he woke up he became very strong." Xie Qin looked at the man with her big round eyes and answered obediently. In addition, the man became a superpower in this way and she didn't suspect anything at all.

"We can give you medicine, but it can't be given for free. You must exchange it with something corresponding to your needs. Five kilograms of food for one fever-reducing pill. This is the safe base we have established. Once you come in, you will be under our protection, and you will also have to pay. One kilogram of food per person per day."

"This... But we didn't bring anything with us when we went out. And... We don't have that much food at home."

"Your father has special powers, so he can go out with us to search for supplies. You can stay here, it's safe. Once the three of you have been quarantined here for five hours, you can move freely in the base."

"Ah."

After the man left, someone brought antipyretic medicine and a small cup of water. Xie Qin took the medicine. During the five hours of waiting, Xie Ran had already observed the place thoroughly. More than a hundred people were not too many, and they all lived in the dormitory building.

Five hours later, someone came to take them away. It was already dark by then. The person who came was a woman in her forties holding a candle in her hand. She didn't say much to the two children and the idiot.

Xie Qin was the one asking her questions, and she also learned a lot about the county town. In the six-month rainy season, not many people died in the county town. Although most of the county town was flooded, everyone organized to find a lot of supplies. After the stationed troops were integrated, they opened the county town's granary, so no one starved to death.

At the beginning of the dry season, no one took it seriously, but when the temperature rose day by day for more than half a month, and they thought about the six months of rainfall, they began to get scared. Many people with some ideas moved south to where there was water.

The army and the government jointly built a shelter, and some people chose to go to the shelter in the provincial capital. However, after a month, most of the people in the county had left. Only those who were unwilling to leave were left. At first, there were still some people, until one night, an off-road vehicle broke into the county, covered in blood. Someone kindly went to see what was going on. After opening the door, the zombies spread.

After a month, only the survivors in this school were left. Because of the emergence of several superpowers, they led people to search the entire county again, and this group of people barely survived.

"So according to you, these people with special abilities are all good people?"

The woman was stunned for a moment, laughed twice as if she was faking a smile, and then said, "Yes, yes." Xie Qin felt something was strange, but did not ask any more questions. She knew that if she continued to ask, the woman would not say anything more.

Soon the three of them were taken to a dormitory. There were many rooms in the dormitory, but not many people. Basically, families or familiar people lived in one room.

"The water is on the first floor. One pound of food for two pounds of water." Xie Qin couldn't help but widen his eyes after hearing what the woman said, but he didn't say much. After thanking her, the woman left. It was already past nine o'clock in the evening. Normally, no one should be asleep after nine o'clock, but the whole dormitory building was very quiet. Just now, they only saw the woman who led the way. They didn't see anyone else. This place seems a little weird.

Because there was no electricity, it was dark outside as soon as it got dark. Fortunately, the moonlight was bright, and the eyes could barely see after adapting to the darkness. The room was clean and empty, and it was very hot and stuffy. The three of them couldn't sleep at all. Thinking of Xie Qin, they wanted to sneak out to pick up the corpse crystal. Liu Bo was too big and it was inconvenient for him to move. After asking Uncle Liu Bo to rest, Xie Qin carried his brother and set off.

Xie Qin walked to a hidden iron fence, opened the iron fence with her bare hands just enough for them to pass through, and then restored it. As soon as the two came out, the zombies nearby smelled the smell and pounced here.

As soon as Xie Ran thought about it, the zombies stopped moving instantly, standing there dumbly as if they couldn't see them. Xie Qin then lamented the difference, the second-level psychic was really powerful, he could control hundreds of zombies in an instant.

In order not to alert the enemy, after all, she still wanted to know what was so strange about this place. Xie Qin quietly pried open the skulls of the dozens of zombies that Uncle Liu Bo had killed during the day. She also considerately closed the skulls, so that if you didn't look closely, you wouldn't see anything unusual. There were about forty zombies. Twenty-four corpse crystals were dug up, which was not a small harvest.

After returning to the dormitory, the night was even more terrifyingly quiet. Xie Ran's voice broke the silence.

"Sister, that wood-type mutant has broken through to the second level."

"what?"

"I couldn't sleep, so I explored this school again. The wood-type mutant gave me the feeling that he was at the second level."

"So fast, they were all at level one in the afternoon." Xie Qin panicked. If they were all level one, they should be able to escape unscathed even if they had a conflict. Now, one level two and two level one definitely have the upper hand over this silly little cripple.

She had never seen in person how powerful the wood-type mutants were, but it was written in the books that the wood-type mutants could control all plants, and their superpowers could even create wood-type vines out of thin air. Their ability to grab people and fight with them was considered top-notch among all the mutants.

"Ran Ran, can you control that wood-type mutant?"

"Okay, but if I try to control the people around me at the same time, I won't be able to hold on for long."

"How long can it last?"

"10-15 minutes."

"Let's leave tonight. I always feel this place is weird. We can't stay here any longer." Xie Qin always felt very uncomfortable here. There were more than a hundred people living here, but it was so dead.

The dormitory building was very quiet, Xie Qin was walking in front, and Liu Bo was walking behind with Xie Ran on his back. Suddenly, Xie Qin stopped, and all the dormitory doors were locked from the outside.

Their door was not locked, and Xie Qin had never noticed it. Once she became curious, Xie Qin did not hesitate. She rode on Liu Bo's neck and quietly looked inside through the small glass window on top of the dormitory door.

The room Xie Qin was looking at had three people sleeping in it, a man, a woman, and a child who was about the same age as himself. They must be a family. The woman and the child slept on the small dormitory bed, and the man slept on the floor. There were clearly six beds, but the three people were squeezed together. After a closer look, he found that the three people's feet were tied with heavy iron chains. The iron chains were connected together and could not be separated at all.

In order to confirm the situation, Xie Qin checked four or two dormitories in a row and found the same situation everywhere. These people were tied up and locked inside, like livestock in a pen.

When he saw the fourth one, although there was no sound coming from inside, he could hear the sound of heavy objects hitting each other. Xie Qin carefully glanced inside and saw a man's heavy fist falling on the woman, who curled up on the ground with her head in her hands.

Perhaps she couldn't bear the beating, the woman wanted to hide and crawled forward, the iron chain rubbing against the ground made a sound, the man suddenly got nervous and grabbed the iron chain to stop it from making any sound, and he had no free hands to beat the woman. The woman got a short break and wanted to get up. The moment she looked up, Xie Qin thought something was wrong, but it was too late to hide and his eyes met the woman's.

Xie Qin recognized the woman. It was the woman from Lijia Town, Aunt Wang. Aunt Wang ran a small restaurant. He had eaten there several times. She was a warm and talkative middle-aged woman. It was this woman who introduced them to the place to live in the mountains. The woman seemed to recognize Xie Qin as well. She was startled at first, and then looked at Xie Qin eagerly.

How miserable must he be to show a look of pleading for help to a little girl? After hesitating for a moment, Xie Qin let his brother control the man, and he tore off the door lock and went in.

Aunt Wang was so scared that she was afraid that the man next to her would shout out, so she looked at him in horror. But the man seemed to be stupid, staring blankly at the door without moving. The moment Xie Qin and the others came in, the man fell to the ground and didn't move. Aunt Wang covered her mouth, afraid that she would make a sound out of fear.

Aunt Wang came back to her senses when she saw Liu Bo coming in behind Xie Qin. She knew Liu Bo, they were from the same town, so they were relatives. She was naturally more familiar with him than Xie Qin.

Xie Qin shouted in a low voice with a breath.

"Aunt Wang?"

"Little girl." Aunt Wang slowly put down her hands that were covering herself and answered softly.

"How will you be here?"

"My whole family was planning to go to the shelter, but we got separated from our family on the way and were captured by those people with special abilities." Aunt Wang's eyes were evasive when she said this, but the light was too dim for Xie Qin to notice.

"Who is this man?"

"I... I don't know him. They locked us up together. This man... is he dead?" Aunt Wang didn't say anything else. Xie Qin also understood what she meant. Although Aunt Wang was not young, she was still pretty.

"No, I just fainted."

"Are you also superpowers?" Xie Qin nodded gently. Aunt Wang's eyes lit up instantly.

"We're leaving now, do you want to come with us?"

"where to?"

"We can send you back to Lijia Town. But there are zombies everywhere outside, and we can't guarantee your safety. Either you stay here, or take a chance and go with us. You'll have a chance to find your family when you get out."

Aunt Wang's heart was in turmoil. She looked up at the three people, some of them were stupid and some were disabled. They really couldn't give her safety. She had cheated on her husband and ran away secretly. If she went back, her husband's family would definitely not let her go. Although she would be drawn blood and locked up here, she had food and drink, which was much better than going out to make a living.

Aunt Wang looked down at the man who had fainted on the ground, then shook her head.

"I'm afraid of death. If I stay here, I will definitely survive. If I go out, I might die."

Xie Qin didn't say anything more, and then asked.

"Why did those superpowers lock you up?"

"They wanted to drink human blood, and they drank it like water. They locked us up here and took turns drawing our blood."

"Drinking human blood?" Xie Qin frowned. This paragraph was not written in the book, and it did not mention how human blood could help people with special abilities. Xie Qin gave the two small loaves of bread and milk he brought with him to Aunt Wang, and left with doubts.

Not long after Xie Qin left, Aunt Wang pounced on the man and covered his mouth and nose with her hands for ten minutes before letting go. The man died.

The three followed Xie Ran's spiritual power to the teaching building in front of the dormitory building. The teaching building only had three floors, and the teacher's offices at both ends were converted into living bedrooms. No one lived on the first floor. When they arrived at the first room on the second floor, they heard a disgusting sound before they entered.

Xie Qin quickly asked Xie Ran to use his mental power to paralyze the nerves of the people around him. The voices disappeared instantly. After instructing Liu Bo to carry his brother outside and not go in, Xie Qin opened the door and walked in alone.

Everything in front of her made Xie Qin's scalp tingle. She was well-read and had read a lot of physiological materials, so she knew what this was doing.

But the scene before him was different from what he had learned. There were three people, and two women were tied up with their hands and feet overlapping in the shape of a cross, which was very ugly.

What made people feel even more disgusted was that there were two slightly older women holding palm-leaf fans to fan them. Fortunately, his brother didn't see this dirty scene. It took Xie Qin only five seconds to look at the whole room and the people. Time was tight, and without the slightest hesitation, Xie Qin directly touched the man's sweaty forehead with her hand.

Restraining her inner disgust, Xie Qin continued to absorb the man's supernatural powers. She did not intend to stop, as she wanted to know the limit of her ability to absorb supernatural powers.

The speed of absorbing the superpower was very fast. In just one minute, the man's pupils were visibly dilated, and there was no superpower left in his body. All of it went into Xie Qin's body. Xie Qin withdrew her hand, and the man fell headfirst onto the two women in front of him.

Xie Qin had a bad feeling and put her index finger on the tip of the man's nose. He was...dead.

Xie Qin hurried out of the room. Her brother saw that she looked unhappy and asked worriedly.

"Sister? What's wrong?"

"No... It's okay. Let's go to the next room." Xie Qin was stunned for a moment, thinking that this group of people were not good people. After struggling for a moment, she thought about the next target. It was because she found that she had just absorbed the water power, which was different from the time when she absorbed her brother and Liu Bo, and only got a little energy. This time, she sucked the people dry, and her water power was completely available. She was just one step away from the second-level breakthrough.

The overwhelming power was so addictive, and without the fear of killing anyone, the only thing on my mind and heart was to suck the rest of the people dry.
