Qin Long, tall and strong, carried Du Weiwei for a long time without feeling tired. Finally, they found a car and drove away.
Du Weiwei, who was blind, felt extremely insecure. She hadn’t felt this way when Brother Long carried her, but now, placed in the passenger seat and having fastened her seatbelt, she felt afraid.
“Brother Long?” Du Weiwei’s voice trembled.
“Yes, I’m here.” Qin Long walked around to the driver’s side and sat down, looking at Du Weiwei: “Where do you want to go?”
Hearing Brother Long’s voice, Du Weiwei breathed a sigh of relief. For a moment, she almost thought Brother Long had just left her there alone.
“I… I don’t know…” Du Weiwei was somewhat lost. Where should she go now? She didn’t know; she just had a vague feeling that if she stayed in the base, she would definitely die a terrible death.
So many people hated her, and Xiao Bin, who had once protected her, wouldn’t protect her anymore.
“Then let’s go back to S City.” Seeing that Du Weiwei seemed unsure where to go, Qin Long made the decision directly.
“Yeah, wherever Brother Long is, that’s where I will be!” Du Weiwei unconsciously flashed a sweet smile, unaware that she used to have a beautiful smile. Now, however, she looked terrifying.
Compared to the scar on Qin Long’s face, she clearly looked more like a monster, neither human nor ghost.
Qin Long didn’t speak when he heard Du Weiwei’s words but simply started the car.
Ironically, Du Weiwei had come all the way from S City to D City to find Xiao Bin, but now she had to slink back to S City.
“Brother Long… am I very ugly now?” Du Weiwei touched her face, the wrinkled texture of her skin making her extremely horrified.
She didn’t know what that thing was that day, but she felt like she had been burned.
But, thankfully, at least there was someone to take the fall with her, right? She didn’t know if Zhang Zhongmin would be alright, but Fu Ke was dead, which was a good thing.
Who told Fu Ke to try and steal Brother Long from her? Who told her to be so good to Brother Long?
After Du Weiwei pushed Fu Ke off the rooftop, she was burned and blinded. So she had no idea that Fu Ke wasn’t dead.
And she didn’t connect the footsteps she heard at that moment with Fu Ke.
“It’ll be alright,” Qin Long said calmly.
Du Weiwei breathed a sigh of relief. It shouldn’t be too serious; the most serious thing was probably her eyesight.
Thinking of this, Du Weiwei felt a little unwilling.
But then she thought, if she couldn’t see, she wouldn’t be able to see Brother Long’s terrifying face either. Thinking about it that way, it wasn’t a big deal. But not being able to see was inconvenient nonetheless.
“Brother Long, is there a base in S City?” Du Weiwei felt it was too quiet; apart from the sound of cars, there was no other sound, making her feel very unsafe, so she couldn’t help but start a conversation.
“There should be. Do you want to go to the base?” Qin Long asked.
Du Weiwei was about to nod but hesitated. What if there were some messy rules at the base? Thinking of Fu Ke, she was cunning; living next to the base and enjoying its protection without having to abide by its rules.
“No, how about we just live next to the base?” Du Weiwei’s heart stirred, and she said expectantly.
Qin Long looked at Du Weiwei upon hearing this and said, “Okay.”
Sure enough, Brother Long was completely devoted to her. Du Weiwei felt a sweet warmth in her heart, and an uncontrollable smile appeared on her face, but she dared not laugh out loud, otherwise it would hurt her face.
She wondered when it would get better and touched her face.
….
The water was completely frozen. 707 looked at the situation inside the Water-Repelling Pearl, took a deep breath, and a flame instantly ignited at her fingertip.
The flame detached from her fingertip and directly enveloped the entire Water-Repelling Pearl.
A raging fire erupted around 666, who couldn’t help but sneer, “Looks like you’re out of options? Don’t you know that I, who have a master-servant contract with the Phoenix, am not afraid of fire?”
With that, his claws slammed into the ground, and a powerful force erupted from 666.
‘Crack!’
A crack appeared in the middle of the Water-Repelling Pearl, and 707 felt a sharp pain in her chest, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
The water-repelling pearl shattered instantly, and 666 and the car appeared right in front of 707, the distance between them extremely close.
“Tsk, woman. What trash,” 666 said disdainfully.
However, at that moment, several beams of red light shot into the sky, revealing dense, blood-red patterns on the ground. 666 was right in the center of the formation.
666 looked at 707 with some surprise: “Knowing you can’t stop me, you’ve been using your life to delay me. Tell me, what are you doing this for?”
707’s inferior method of trapping him had now escalated to using a blood formation. 666 wasn’t stupid; how could he not see that 707 was stalling for time?
However, this blood formation had no other use than to trap others, and unfortunately, it was unbreakable; no matter how high your cultivation level, it was useless.
But the person using the formation had to keep the formation’s blood flowing, meaning they had to continuously bleed.
The moment the formation broke would be the moment the person who set it up bled to death.
Therefore, nothing 666 could do now was of any use. He leaned against the car, looking at the pale-faced woman. He then felt a pang of pity: “Only people like you would risk your lives for a pointless resistance.”
707 sneered: “Whatever, we’ll see the result, won’t we?”
“Heh, the result? I’m afraid you won’t live to see it.” 666 wasn’t in a hurry. 707’s pale face showed he had been badly injured.
It was obvious at a glance that 707 wouldn’t last much longer.
Truly, pathetically foolish.
666 touched his stomach; he was hungry…
….
707 hadn’t returned, and Qiu Yi grew increasingly silent. He trained diligently every day, ate properly, and was very obedient, no longer mentioning waiting for her mother to return.
Qiu Yingying’s heart ached at the sight.
Lin Yiyi pulled Qiu Yingying aside: “What’s wrong with Qiu Yi these past two days? I’ve seen you keep him with you, and he looks terrible. Where’s his mother?”
Hearing this, Qiu Yingying sighed helplessly.
After hearing Qiu Yingying’s explanation, Lin Yiyi was still confused: “What happened that made her go out alone, leaving Qiu Yi alone at the base?”
“I don’t know either,” Qiu Yingying said. “It’s been two days. I think Qiu Yi is in grave danger. Qiu Yi probably sensed it too; he was training hard while crying.”
“Oh no! Qiu Yi has fainted!” Lin Xiaoya shouted in a panic.
Qiu Yingying and Lin Yiyi immediately tensed up and rushed over. When they arrived, Qiu Yi was already in Zhang Zhongmin’s arms.
Zhang Zhongmin’s return was undoubtedly the biggest joy in the base, not to mention that he had awakened an unprecedentedly powerful ice-type ability.
He could conjure ice blades to decapitate zombies ten meters away.
“Why did he suddenly faint?” Qiu Yingying ran over and saw Qiu Yi being carried by Zhang Zhongmin, his face pale, and she was extremely worried.
“I don’t know. I’ll take him to the office next door. You guys go find Feng Han to come and check on him. His forehead is burning hot; I don’t know if he has a fever.”
Zhang Zhongmin touched Qiu Yi’s forehead; it was very hot.
“I…I… I’ll go. Yingying, get some water for Qiu Yi to drink.” With that, Lin Yiyi dashed out like the wind.
Qiu Yingying washed a cup, filled it with water, and fed Qiu Yi little by little with a spoon.
Zhang Zhongmin’s expression was grave: “Has the child’s mother not returned yet?”
Qiu Yingying shook her head: “She hasn’t returned. Qiu Yi said that when Sister Qiu left before, she said if she didn’t come back, he should go find Fu Ke.”
Zhang Zhongmin couldn’t help but think of the blood-red pupils he had seen in Fu Ke before.
For a moment, his mind was in turmoil. Were they really colored contact lens?
Lin Yiyi rushed over with Feng Han.
Feng Han touched Qiu Yi’s forehead: “So hot!” Even without a thermometer, she knew he had a fever, but in the apocalypse, there were no sophisticated instruments to determine the cause.
Feng Han was just a school doctor.
Given the limited resources, after giving Qiu Yi fever-reducing medicine, Feng Han looked at Zhang Zhongmin: “What should we do, class monitor? Qiu Yi has a fever. He should be observed at the observation point for twenty-four hours.”
The surrounding people fell silent.
Qiu Yi was so young; how could they bear to do that? But these were the base’s rules. If one person broke the rules, more people would follow.
Even though they were worried about Qiu Yi, they couldn’t let him be an exception.
“When Qiu Yinlan left, didn’t she entrust the child to Fu Ke? I’ll take him to Fu Ke,” Zhang Zhongmin said, looking at the child in his arms.
“Yes, we can send Qiu Yi to Fu Ke’s! Qiu Yi is so young, I’m worried about leaving him at the observation point,” Qiu Yingying said.
“Or I can go too, Fu Ke looks so young. I don’t know if she can take care of a child…” Lin Yiyi said worriedly.
“Let’s ask Fu Ke’s opinion first. What if Fu Ke doesn’t want Qiu Yi to stay at the Exclusive Restaurant?” Feng Han felt that it was better to talk to Fu Ke first and take Qiu Yi there if Fu Ke agreed.
Fu Ke felt a turbulent current flowing from her abdomen to her limbs. A joyful expression appeared on her face, even though she had consumed all the crystal cores in her space.
But she had finally advanced again, to the thirteenth level!
Feeling the energy in her body constantly expanding and surging, Fu Ke directly entered the space.
The space now looked dilapidated.
The huge river had become a small pond, and most of the vegetables she had planted had died. Only a small part of the space was trying its best to protect it, and various aquatic products and animals were almost all dead.
If it weren’t for the space’s preservation function, these things would probably have already rotted.
The ground was cracked, and the enormous vortex in the space spun incessantly, waiting to be fed. It probably knew that Fu Ke was in a critical period, so the space hadn’t urged her at all these past few days. As soon as Fu Ke entered the space, a red flame slowly emerged from the vortex.
She was somewhat surprised to see the red flame. The flickering flame reminded Fu Ke of the bead that the space had swallowed when she killed the phoenix.
Reaching out, Fu Ke caught a small flame emerging from the vortex.
The flame drifted weakly in the air for a long time before slowly landing in Fu Ke’s hand. It was so light and docile that Fu Ke felt no heat.
Just then, Fu Ke successfully advanced, and a massive power erupted from her.
The flame trembled rapidly as if stimulated, then abruptly turned and entered Fu Ke’s palm.
“Ah!” Fu Ke felt a sharp pain in her palm, and then the flame disappeared.
