[Quick Transmigration] Take away the bloody protagonist

Following the rustling of the branches, a group of people came out of the woods.Most of them were dressed very poorly, with disheveled faces and embarrassing expressions, as if they had traveled a long distance and were exhausted.

"Who are you?" A man who was obviously the leader stood up and asked with an unkind expression.He was more neatly dressed and less embarrassed than the others. "Why are you here? Which faction do you belong to?"

Zhou Qingyao was still holding the crossbow, staring at the man vigilantly, and at the same time reached out and pulled Zhou Mao back.

"We are just ordinary travelers, we don't belong to any faction, we wandered here." Zhou Qingyao replied.

The man saw that the two were clean and decently dressed, their faces were healthy, and they didn't look tired like travelers at all, so they obviously didn't believe Zhou Qingyao's words. "Do you... have supernatural powers?" He looked at Zhou Qingyao suspiciously, and then at Zhou Mao behind him.

"No." Zhou Qingyao replied coldly.

"Without supernatural powers, how could it be possible for the two of you to live so decently in this environment." The man sneered, "Tell me, which organization is behind you?"

"We don't belong to any organization." Zhou Qingyao said expressionlessly.Aimed at the man's head with a crossbow. "I'm telling the truth. Since you don't believe my words, there's no need for us to waste time. It's better to let each other go and go our separate ways."

The man frowned. "You really have no organization?" He still didn't believe it, but his tone softened a little. "I hope you didn't lie to me." He pointed to the dozen or so people behind him: "To be honest with you, we originally belonged to the Qilin Society of N City, but because I offended someone, I had to take the accepted person away. I want to start a new organization. I heard that there is no one in T city, so I came here. Tell me honestly, you really don’t belong to any gang? If there are other gangs here, we have to go find them again There's no other place to stay."

"We don't belong to any gang. I don't know if there are other gangs here." Zhou Qingyao shook her head. "But I don't recommend you to stay here," he said, "There is not much land left in T City, and the creatures in the forest and sea are very ferocious." If there are 5-6 mutants, it will be difficult to stay here for a long time."

The man smiled helplessly, "Tell you the truth, little brother." He pointed to himself, and then to another man in the team: "In this group of people, only me and him are mutants. We came to T City It’s just for luck.”

He moved closer to Zhou Qingyao, as if he wanted to tell him some secrets, but Zhou Qingyao kept holding his crossbow vigilantly against the man's chest.

The man's expression was a little embarrassed, he took two steps back, kept a certain distance from Zhou Qingyao, then poked his head out, and whispered, "Brother, I wonder if you know that after the end of the world, scientists discovered a big rock and touched it. Everyone has a certain chance of gaining superpowers."

Zhou Qingyao didn't speak, but nodded to show that she knew.

"This stone has now been transported to City B and sealed off, and ordinary people are not allowed to touch it. Those mutants are very bad, and they are afraid that if more people touch it, if there are too many mutants, it will affect their dominance." The man looked sullen. Said, then changed his expression and looked at Zhou Qingyao with a pleasing expression. "But I got news from other sources that this stone was first discovered in the Research Institute of the Academy of Sciences in T City, so my brothers and I wanted to come to T City to try our luck. See if there are any stones in the Institute For the remaining parts, brothers, if we have a few more supernatural beings, our life will be easier."

Zhou Mao's body visibly trembled when he heard the words "Institute of the Academy of Sciences".Zhou Qingyao felt it. He tightly held the handle of the crossbow, and the joints of his hand made a rattling sound.

"If the two of you don't have superpowers, would you like to join us?" The man glanced at Xiaohu, then looked at Zhou Qingyao and said. "We can go to the research institute together. You also have the opportunity to obtain supernatural powers. After all, in this environment, if you have a superpower, your life will be much easier."

"We don't need supernatural powers." Zhou Qingyao said coldly. "You can go to the research institute if you want. The buildings of the research institute are still well preserved, but most of them should have been flooded. We will not follow."

"It doesn't matter if you don't need special abilities." The man rubbed his hands together and showed a flattering smile. "But it's always good to have a few more companions. If there are no other gangs, we plan to stay here permanently. You become a member of us, and there are only advantages and no disadvantages for you."

"I refuse." Zhou Qingyao said.

"Why?" The man put away his smile.

"I don't want to make my words so clear." Zhou Qingyao sneered, "You dragged us into your organization so eagerly, no doubt because of our cat. It is undoubtedly a very strong force in the last days, and it listens to human beings .”

"Yes, I admit it." The man stared at Zhou Qingyao and said. "Your cat is a good one. Is it all because of him that you can live such a decent life now?"

He spread his hands: "Since you have made your words clear, I won't go around in circles anymore." He pointed to the cat and said, "You lend us the cat, and our organization guarantees your personal safety. Isn't this the best of both worlds?"

"The best of both worlds?" Zhou Qingyao sneered and looked at the man coldly. "This cat only listens to our orders. We joined your organization, went to the research institute and touched the fragments of the stone. If we didn't develop supernatural powers, you would definitely kill us and take the cat as your own. Even if you are lucky With the ability, you will also regard us two outsiders as a threat and a thorn in your side. Find an opportunity to get rid of them and hurry up."

He raised his crossbow again and aimed at the man's head: "They are all dead, why should we join you?"

The man's expression became ferocious.He turned to Zhou Mao: "What about you? Leave your companion alone and join us."

"My companion is right, I will listen to him." Zhou Mao said without hesitation.

"You guys are toasting and not eating fine wine." He shouted, raising his hands, there was a crackling sound from the palms, and flames burst out. "If you don't agree, I can kill you right now and take the cat back." He sneered.Several people around him also surrounded him, making an attacking gesture.

Xiaohu bristled all his hair, lay down on the ground, and breathed fiercely at the man.

Zhou Qingyao looked at the man's ability, and her expression became ice-like. "You use your energy so casually," Zhou Qingyao said coldly, "Aren't you afraid of dying early?"

The man's face immediately sank, as black as the bottom of a pot. "What nonsense are you talking about!" shouted a servant beside him.

"You should be aware of it too," Zhou Qingyao said, staring at the man, "Your health is getting worse and worse recently. Because the energy that activates this ability is the life energy of human beings themselves."

"When the energy is exhausted, you will die."

"Nonsense!" the man said angrily, and the fire in his hand suddenly sprang up, forming a flame whip. When he waved his hand, the heat wave rolled, and the flame whip hit Zhou Qingyao's direction.

Zhou Mao hurriedly pulled Zhou Qingyao's clothes back to hide, but Zhou Qingyao remained motionless. He stared at the flames in front of him with sharp eyes and blocked Zhou Mao.

"Qingyao!" Zhou Mao shouted anxiously.However, before his cry fell, the flame disappeared out of thin air.The man who emitted the flames had already fallen flat on his face.

The people around stared at the man lying on the ground with expressions of not knowing what happened. "Boss!" Someone yelled, and several people quickly came to their senses, ran towards the man, and turned him over.

"He's dead!" cried a man in a trembling voice.

The people around all looked at Zhou Qingyao with terrified expressions.Zhou Qingyao didn't change her face, but said indifferently: "I said not to use supernatural powers at will. I didn't expect that his life energy was running out long ago. It's self-inflicted."

He looked at the man's followers coldly: "Would any of you want to come and give it a try?" He said, "I remember you also have a supernatural person, should he also come and waste his energy?"

Several people looked at another man in the line at the same time.The man's face was pale, he waved his hands again and again, and retreated into the woods.The leader died, and the group of people lost their guidance and scattered in an instant.

Zhou Qingyao breathed a sigh of relief and put down the crossbow.

"I didn't expect to encounter such a thing." He rubbed his temples, "I won't hunt today, let's go home."

Zhou Mao nodded, and took the crossbow from Zhou Qingyao's hand. "Is it true what you just said about powers and energies?" he asked.

"It's true." Zhou Qingyao replied, and lightly patted Xiaohu's paw.Xiaohu let out a soft cry, and rubbed Zhou Qingyao's arm. "It's just that no one should be aware of the problem of life energy now."

"Then how do you know?" Zhou Mao looked at Zhou Qingyao and asked.

Zhou Qingyao didn't speak, but turned her head to avoid Zhou Mao's questioning gaze.

Zhou Mao sighed softly, pulled Zhou Qingyao over, and stroked his hair. "It's fine if you don't want to say it," he said softly, "If you don't say it, you must have your own reasons."

Zhou Qingyao looked back at Zhou Mao, lowered her head, and kissed his eyelashes lightly, "I can't tell you." He whispered, "But I don't want to lie to you anymore. I'm sorry."

"It's okay." Zhou Mao smiled and waved his hands, looking deep into the woods. "But what should we do now? Will this group of people follow us secretly and sneak attack at home at night?"

"No." Zhou Qingyao said, "Little Tiger has a keen sense of smell, and it will find out if someone is following you. And now they have lost a superhuman, and another supernatural person is also afraid of using his energy because of the leader's death. This group of people If you don't leave here, you won't live for long."

"Let's go. Let's ride on Xiaohu and go home quickly." Zhou Qingyao said, pulling down the ladder hanging on Xiaohu, wanting Zhou Mao to go up first, but suddenly wobbled.

Zhou Mao quickly supported him. "What's wrong?" He asked with concern, and touched Zhou Qingyao's forehead with his hand.

"I was terrified just now, but my feet are still soft now." Zhou Qingyao closed her eyes and said with some embarrassment.He looked at Zhou Mao, with a coquettish tone: "I will hug you tightly when I'm on Xiaohu for a while, my legs are shaking so much that I can't sit still, maybe I'll be thrown away by it all at once."

Zhou Mao looked at Zhou Qingyao's legs, they didn't shake at all. "Okay, okay," he pinched Zhou Qingyao's face helplessly. "you hold me"

Zhou Qingyao happily rode on Xiaohu and sat behind Zhou Mao.Zhou Mao grabbed the rope, while Zhou Qingyao stuck to Zhou Mao tightly.Xiaohu jumped up and ran towards the cliff.

The sound of the wind whistled past his ears.Zhou Qingyao put her chin on Zhou Mao's neck, and whispered in his ear, "When that person asked you if you wanted to join them, I was really afraid that you would agree."

"How could it be?" Zhou Mao laughed, "I'm not that stupid. Those people said they were building a new gang, but there were no women or children in the team. It can be seen that it is a short-sighted organization that will not leave anyone behind. We It won't do any good to join."

Zhou Qingyao nodded.He hugged Zhou Mao's waist tightly and said: "But we were discovered here. If someone of them told others alive, we might be harassed constantly, and maybe we couldn't stay in this place too long."

Zhou Mao was silent for a while, and asked, "Are we leaving?"

"Wait a little longer." Zhou Qingyao said. "If someone really comes looking for us, we will leave. If there is no one, we will live here forever."

"Is there time to go then?"

"It's too late." Zhou Qingyao said, gently stroking Zhou Mao's neck with her lips. "no problem."

"Yeah." Zhou Mao nodded, stretched his fingers into the middle of the tiger's soft fur, and stroked it slowly.

"I really enjoy being here," he said softly. "Hope no one ever comes."
